Happy Tree Friends - Milk Pong was a Happy Tree Friends interactive YouTube video published on the MondoMedia channel on July 24, 2009. The game is a variant of beer pong using milk instead of beer, hence the title. Interaction with the video was done via YouTube's annotation system, which was later used for Happy Tree Friends - Double Vision and the YouTube version of Happy Tree Friends - Lumpy's Lame Card Trick. However, since the annotations were retired starting on January 15, 2019[3], this game is no longer playable on YouTube. As a result, viewing the game's ending exclusive to the YouTube version can not be done legitimately anymore.

This game is also available in Flash format on the official Mondo website, published on August 16, 2009. All interactions and scenes are handled in one window instead of separate videos as done on YouTube, but this version has a different ending.

Description

It’s time to play Milk Pong! Make Lumpy drink by getting your ball in the cup! (And get your “Milk” ready so you can drink along)[4]

Gameplay

Milk Pong gameplay.

When a round starts, Nutty will move his hand holding a ping pong ball around the screen. Like the original beer pong, the player has to throw the ball into the cup (in this case filled with milk) so that the opponent (Lumpy) will drink the milk and proceed to the next round. This is done by clicking the screen when Nutty's hand moves over the cup, denoted by a glow around the cup whenever this happens (an annotation, which would take to an unlisted video representing the outcome, appeared over it in the YouTube version). A scene will play after making the throw, with how the scene plays out determining the outcome of success or miss. If the player misses or takes too long throwing the ball, the game will offer the player to try again in the current round.

The game ends when all five rounds are successfully cleared, though the player is allowed to try again from the beginning.

The ball ends up going in into the cup, forcing him to drink from the cup. But when he reaches for the cup, he ends up knocking it over. The ball rolls off and bounces into a woodchipper. Lumpy is not sure how to pick up the ball between the blades, but he tries it with his bare hand anyway. He succeeds, but he is then crushed by a falling log just as he begins to walk back. It turns out to be the work of Mole cutting down a nearby tree with a chainsaw. Handy, who is also with him, then looks at the player in surprise.
Lumpy takes a big breath then blows at the cup when the ball lands on the rim of the cup. The cup ends up getting knocked over, making Lumpy cross his arms in satisfaction.
