History Recap / HTFRemainsToBeSeen

--->''[the ''Happy Tree Friends'' theme plays in minor key over a Halloween version of the intro]''\\

* OffModel:
** For some reason, Fliqpy's eyes are blue in this episode as opposed to yellowish-green. [[note]]All the zombified Tree Friends have blue eyes, but Fliqpy's eyes were blue even before he reanimated.[[/note]]
** In the remastered and [=BlurB!=] versions of the episode, when zombie Mime appears, the outline and coloring of his mouth become dislocated.
** When Lumpy runs back to the shed the second time, his silhouette depicts him with both arms even though one of them got torn off earlier. Not to mention, his right arm is rendered hidden while his left arm is fully intact when he is inside the shed, when it should be the other way around.

* NuclearNasty: The zombies are the result of the dead being covered in radioactive goo.

* OurZombiesAreDifferent: See NuclearNasty above. Furthermore, the usual "infection by bite" also works in turning anything dead into a zombie, as seen on Lumpy's torn arm. Lastly, NoZombieCannibals is averted in that the zombies go after zombie Fliqpy when his brain inflates to where it pops out of his head.

* OurZombiesAreDifferent: See NuclearNasty above. Despite that, the usual "infection by bite" also works in turning anything dead into a zombie, as seen on Lumpy's torn arm.

* RevenantZombie: Zombie Fliqpy, ''only'' his Fliqpy side, who continues to be aggressive and out for blood even a while after his (first) death. He is also noticeably much more intelligent compared to the rest of the zombies.

* ArtisticLicenseAstronomy: As usual, stars end up drawn over the moon.

* BaitAndSwitch: Lumpy deciding on a weapon to replace his missing arm. The scene is fixated on a part of the shed that happens to feature the typical zombie-slaying weapon, the chainsaw. Lumpy picks a tool... namely a leaf blower. Still effective, though.

** In a meta sense, the [[https://happytreefriends.fandom.com/wiki/File:S2E22_The_Promo_picture.jpg promotional picture]] used to hype up the episode hinted nothing towards it being an episode about Fliqpy, Lumpy, or the zombie apocalypse.

!!"Remains to be Seen" contains examples of:

* ZombieGait: The zombie Happy Tree Friends move like this, except for Fliqpy, who basically behaves more aggressively than his living self.

"Remains to be Seen" is the twenty second episode of the second (internet) season of ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends''.

A group of costumed Happy Tree Friends are out trick-or-treating, while Flippy is driving a truck carrying barrels of radioactive goo. During his stop (to let the critters cross the road), his car backfires, which causes him to flip out. He steps on the gas, and everyone pretty much dies. Later, Lumpy has finished burying all the dead critters. He then notices Nutty's foot still exposed above the dirt, so he pushes it in, but Nutty's arm pops out instead. Lumpy pushes said arm, then another foot, then another arm, before Nutty's head pops out with a moan, prompting Lumpy to bury him in a large mound. He is not out of the woods yet as the rest of the dead critters, not just Nutty, rise from their graves as zombies. The moose panics for a while before he decides to run towards his tool shed and grab a lawnmower, using it to destroy the zombies. His lawnmower is suddenly stopped by a pair of hands. Zombie Fliqpy rises from his grave, then leaps onto Lumpy, biting his arm. The poor moose shakes Fliqpy off, tearing off his arm in the process, before running away while letting out a girlish scream. Zombie Fliqpy has no lower body, but he happens to spot zombie Handy, whose upper half is then torn off by him, leaving the legs free for him to use. Lumpy runs back into the shed and has to decide on a tool to replace his missing arm. He picks one, attaches it to the stump... and it is actually a leaf blower that does not affect Fliqpy at all. That is, until Fliqpy leaps toward him again, causing the leaf blower to get lodged in his eye. Lumpy detaches his arm from the tool and watches as Fliqpy's head inflates and then rips open, exposing his inflated brain which attracts the rest of the zombies. The apocalypse ends when zombie Toothy bites down on Fliqpy's brain, causing an explosion that leaves a large crater where the zombies end up buried once again, this time for good. Lumpy feels relieved after all that trouble, until his arm suddenly stabs him. Turns out, his torn arm has zombiefied itself. As Lumpy looks at it in confusion, the arm punches him out.

* BaitAndSwitch: Lumpy deciding on a weapon to replace his missing arm. The scene is fixated on a part of the shed that happens to feature the typical zombie-slaying weapon, the chainsaw. Lumpy picks a tool... which is a leaf blower. Still effective, though.

-->Flippy is a [=HUGE=] Halloween guy he loves all the blood and gore and scary stuff
* TheCameo: FreezeFrameBonus during Cuddles and Giggles's "brain spaghetti" scene shows that the cursed idol is in one of the graves in the background.

* CaptionHumor: One of the few episodes with a [=BlurB!=] version.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Courtesy of the [=BlurB!=]. Immediately averted after the "[=BlurB!=]" caption, though.
-->(the ''Happy Tree Friends'' theme plays in minor key over a Halloween version of the intro)
-->Starting off with creepy music and spooky letters. This must be a [[ChristmasEpisode Christmas episode]]!
-->[=BlurB!=]
-->Just kidding, it's Halloween. Christmas would have [[TakeThat scarier]] [[ChristmasSongs music]].
** There is one that is played straight, though, during the scene where Lumpy gets a lawnmower to destroy the zombies.
-->Lumpy is freaked out because he almost forgot to mow the lawn.

* CreepyBlueEyes: All the zombies (except Mime, who has pale purple), as well as Fliqpy, have pale blue eyes.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Everyone involved in the truck crash ends up with horrific injuries. Special mention goes to Mime, who ends up with his flesh fully stripped from his body (his head remains mostly intact with a chunk of it suddenly missing when he becomes a zombie, exposing a part of his brain), leaving him with bones and what is left of his vital organs for his body.

* DoesNotLikeSpam: PlayedForLaughs. According to the [=BlurB!=] apparently Flippy is not into Halloween much because he is allergic to chocolate and candy corn (that is, until his Fliqpy self takes over).

* HardTruthAesop: The inverse of the usual "crossing the road" advice is provided by the [=BlurB!=].
-->Remember kids, when crossing the street don't bother looking or stopping, just keep walking

* NoZombieCannibals: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. Once zombie Fliqpy's inflated brain gets exposed, the rest of the zombies see this as a treat and shamble towards him instead of targeting Lumpy.

** The music heard after the crash is reused from "Mime and Mime Again".
** The music from "Boo Do You Think You Are?" and "Out of Sight, Out of Mime" is reused in this episode as well. Fitting, both aforementioned episodes are [[HalloweenEpisode Halloween episodes]].

* RougeAnglesOfSatin: One of the [=BlurB!=] captions mentions "lose" when it is supposed to mean "loose". (the caption refers to the radioactive waste barrels having loose lids)

** Lumpy running into a shed after having his arm torn off is almost similar to what happened to Ash in ''Film/EvilDead2'', albeit (stupidly) attaching a leaf blower instead of a chainsaw.
** Zombie Cuddles and Zombie Giggles can be seen reenacting the "spaghetti kiss" scene from ''WesternAnimation/LadyAndTheTramp''. They use a brain in this case instead of actual spaghetti.
*** The [=BlurB!=], in its usual style, hilariously misattributes this as a reference to ''D2: Film/TheMightyDucks''. The same joke ShoutOut is also captioned over the ''Evil Dead 2'' reference.

** Nutty's glasses and fake mustache invoke [[Creator/MarxBrothers Groucho]]'s appearance.

-->Wow! That was a short episode
-->not very creative either
* TheyKilledKennyAgain: Cuddles, Giggles, Mime, Flippy, Toothy, Petunia, Nutty, Russell, Handy, Lifty, Shifty, and Sniffles die twice. Mole was also revived as a zombie but he stayed “alive” at the end.

* UnexplainedRecovery:
** Petunia and Handy lost a leg each during the crash (seen on the legs' colors), yet they are present with both legs once they rise from their graves. Unless... those lost legs belong to the FacelessMasses, but who knows.
** Petunia's air freshener looks torn after she rose from her grave, yet becomes undamaged when she is shambling back towards zombie Fliqpy.
* UpdatedRerelease: One of the early episodes to be part of "Classics Remastered" releases, which rereleases early HTF episodes in HD.

* [[invoked]]FamilyUnfriendlyAesop: The inverse of the usual "crossing the road" advice is provided by the [=BlurB!=].

* TheyKilledKennyAgain: Cuddles, Giggles, Mime, Flippy, Toothy, Petunia, Nutty, Russell, Handy, Lifty, Shifty, and Sniffles die twice. The Mole dies once but was revived but was also revived as a zombie and stayed “alive” at the end.
