Happy Tree Friends website: Find out why Lumpy doesnt [sic] play well with others.[2]
Plot
Cuddles and Lumpy are playing a video game together. Soon, Cuddles starts having a seizure from the bright TV screen as his mouth begins to foam. Lumpy, who noticed this, stops playing as he panics and runs off to grab something to help the rabbit. Cuddles, who is now on the floor, ends up having his lower body crushed by a car battery, which Lumpy uses in tandem with the video game controllers (as makeshift defibrillators) to resuscitate him. This strongly electrocutes the poor rabbit. Later, Lumpy continues playing the video game only to lose. He throws down the controller angrily and leaves. As for Cuddles, he is left with the other controller inside his body.
