Happy Tree Friends Break
- "Cool stuff to watch when you need a Break"
- — Official Happy Tree Friends website[1]
Happy Tree Friends Break (also known as the Recess Time playlist[2]) is a collection of miscellaneous Happy Tree Friends short videos. Originally, these videos, specifically "Seize The Day" and "Chore Loser", were made for the G4 channel but were never aired before Mondo decided to put them up on the internet[3]. Since then, this playlist has encompassed other videos ranging from other short videos not fit for the Irregulars playlist, DVD extras, to altered clips of past Happy Tree Friends-related works like Happy Tree Friends - Winter Break and Happy Tree Friends & Friends. Typically, a Break video opens with the orange Happy Tree Friends Break logo over a light blue background, but the playlist's changing content over time means that not all videos begin the same way. The Happy Tree Friends Break playlist was eventually phased out following the official Mondo website's revamp in late 2014. Certain videos were culled from this playlist following the website's revamp in late 2012, rendering them unavailable much earlier.

Anyway, it's high time to throw those shorts out of the vault and let them fend for themselves. Besides, they've been eating up all the cheese around here and refuse to kick in for rent!"
