Lumpy is up to something very... very... wrong.
"A great man is hard on himself; a small man is hard on others."

Airdate: November 27, 2007

Lumpy the toy store owner does the unthinkable when he notices that the customers mistake toymaker Toothy's severed finger for the store's new toy.

"We're Scrooged!" contains the following.

  • Accidental Murder: Averted. Lumpy purposely kills Toothy for his organs. Keep in mind that the show usually stays away from this unless the episode happens to star Flippy.
  • Asshole Victim: Lumpy in the end.
  • Bottle Episode: Most of the episode takes place in the toy store.
  • Briefcase Full of Money: Sniffles offers Lumpy one of these for one of the organs the latter is selling as toys. Unfortunately for Lumpy, he only has one left, and it's at the top of a large shelf, leading to consequences as painful as they're karmic when he tries to get it.
  • Caption Humor: This is one of the episodes with a BlurB version.
  • Christmas Episode: The first Christmas episode for Season 3.
  • Cruel and Unusual Death: Both Toothy and Lumpy suffer this.
    • Toothy is shredded by a box full of chattering teeth.
    • Lumpy's head is crushed by his piggy bank.
  • Downer Ending: Toothy is killed for profit while Lumpy is killed before he can make bank on his new toy.
  • Eye Scream: Lumpy has a spinning top impaled in his left eye and ends up ripping his eye out.
  • Fingore: Toothy loses a finger thanks to a pair of chattering teeth.
  • Greed: Lumpy has this trait in this episode.
  • Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal: Lumpy wears a top hat and a waistcoat to show how rich he is in this episode, but no pants. Lampshaded by the BlurB.
    Pro tip: walking without pants on is 0.00367% more efficient!
  • Idiot Ball: Cuddles, Giggles, and Sniffles remain entirely unaware that the "toys" are actually the blood and guts of Toothy.
  • Jerkass Ball: In most episodes, Lumpy is Lethally Stupid but well-intentioned. Here, he intentionally kills Toothy.
  • Karmic Death: After deliberately killing Toothy out of greed, Lumpy meets his end when his head is crushed by a piggy bank.
  • Lack of Empathy: Lumpy is the most obvious example, killing Toothy to sell his organs. Cuddles and Giggles also count, for playing with Toothy's severed finger. Also, Sniffles, for not reacting to Lumpy losing an eye.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: Lumpy takes money from the Mole's charity bucket and replaces it with a rock. Then at the end of the episode, the Mole repays him using that same rock.
  • New Job as the Plot Demands: Lumpy is a toy store manager with Toothy as his toy maker.
  • Organ Theft: Lumpy sells Toothy's organs for money.
  • Overdrawn at the Blood Bank: A variation where it's not the whole body but a part of it that has too much blood. Toothy's severed finger not only squirts out enough blood to cover Cuddles' entire face when the latter squeezes it, but has enough left to cover Giggles' face as well when he shows it off to her and for them keep squirting each other afterwards. Lampshaded by the BlurB.
    Fun fact: 80% of the body's blood volume is stored in the finger.
  • Pun-Based Title: "We're screwed".
  • They Killed Kenny Again: Lumpy and Toothy die in this episode.
  • Throw the Dog a Bone: Cuddles, Giggles, Sniffles and the Mole survive this episode.
  • Took a Level in Jerkass: Even before the organ selling, Lumpy steals from The Mole's charity bucket to establish his heartlessness.
  • Villain Protagonist: Lumpy is a greedy, murderous businessman for this episode.
  • Wingding Eyes: Lumpy gets dollar signs in his eyes once he realizes that Toothy could help him make money in a morbid way. He gets them again plus another dollar sign on his tongue when Sniffles offers him a Briefcase Full of Money for one of the "toys". Lampshaded by the BlurB.
    "$" eyes is a sign of serious illness.
