BlurB!
- "The episodes you know and love populated with random fun facts or fiction."
- — Official Happy Tree Friends website[1]
BlurB! (also known as Blurbs or BLURB) is a collection of existing Happy Tree Friends shorts from any season. These shorts are distinguished from their original releases by the existence of captions that pop up throughout the episode. A caption can be either about a random fun fact, a reference to media outside Happy Tree Friends, a gag, or simply related to what is currently happening in a given scene. These captions can also extend towards the credits for added amusement value. If a BlurB! episode was released after "A Bit of a Pickle", Truffles may cameo somewhere in the episode. Some BlurB! episodes also feature the recurring but physically unseen Comedy Robot, whose gimmick revolves around binary codes and anti-jokes. Specific to the earlier shorts published in a 4:3 format, the BlurB! version of these shorts end up published in a 16:9 format instead like the later ones since "Wrath of Con".
These modified shorts appear to be inspired by the Special Pop Corn Video, which plays similarly, albeit with different caption graphics involving acorns and the use of the Countryhouse font, which is the show's common font. Ironically, the Popcorn Video itself is not officially considered to be a BlurB! episode, as it is never included in the Blurbs playlist.
The episode "Class Act" is the first short to have a BlurB! version. "Remains To Be Seen" is the last short to have a BlurB! version.
List of BlurB! episodes[edit]
The table below lists all the Happy Tree Friends episodes with a BlurB! version by release date. Some may have the wrong release dates in the current iteration of the official Mondo website, as in copying the release dates of the vanilla episodes (for example, "Shard at Work"). In the Atom iteration of the website up to late 2014, some Blurbs have official description, though a few began to lose the description info when the website changed formats. Some of the Blurbs are also not officially published on MondoMedia's YouTube channel.

Trivia[edit]
- "Nuttin' But the Tooth" is the only BlurB! episode taken from the first season of the Happy Tree Friends internet series. "Hide and Seek" would be included if it did not lose to "Take A Hike" in the poll blog.
- "Take A Hike" is the only BlurB! episode taken from the Happy Tree Friends TV series.
- The "Take A Hike" Blurb, as its official description states, was made as a result of fan voting. Mondo once held a poll blog titled "Which Happy Tree Friends Blurb Do You Want Us To Make Next?" on January 9, 2013. Other episodes considered include "Eye Candy", "Hide and Seek", "I Get a Trick Out of You", "Keepin' it Reel", and "Out On A Limb", which all lost to "Take A Hike".
- Among the losing episodes, though, "Keepin' it Reel" eventually got its own BlurB! version.
- The BlurB! version of "We're Scrooged!", "Blind Date", and "The Way You Make Me Wheel" are no longer available on the official Mondo website since the late 2014 revamp. The BlurB! version of "We're Scrooged!" and "Blind Date" are still officially available on YouTube, though.
