No, seriously. I just watched an episode on Youtube, and people are enamored with it, and I can't see why. I'll just copypasta the comment I made from the video to here...

"What do people see in this shit?
Has America really degraded itself so much that its population thinks mindless violence is funny and new?
First of all, HTF is grotesque. Secondly, it's not funny. I'm not going to go into the aesthetics of death in satire and comedy, but what I WILL say is that this doesn't do it properly, hence it's more gory and less funny.
I'm not grossed out by it, mind you, I just think it's sophomoric and mindless."

So, yeah, anyone agreeing with me, or do I stand alone on this?

Someone linked me to one of the HTF videos and it was, well, your post describes it perfectly. So yeah, I agree with you completely.

I was at a store and they have DVDs of this.

I wondered who the hell would buy it.

I saw one episode or so a while ago (long while ago) and I just stood there staring at it. I can find stupid shit funny but that was just... random deaths...

Not a fan, to be honest. They make no attempt to be funny, really, just see how many people they can get to snort and giggle at...

OH HI BLUE BADGER

OH GOD WE DIED

It's a classic. I don't see how can people not like it. There's much worse stuff to bitch about on the internets, like how xkcd isn't funny 90% of the time or how vgcats and PA have failed miserably for the past year.
HTF is old.

It's still morbid and grotesque, though, and only perpetuates the fact that America is, in fact, getting dumber.

I disagree. I don't know where the hate for non-sense/grotesque humor is coming from, but it's been a fad over the past years. If a joke isn't intelligent or soft, it's dumb and only retards would like it. That sounds like elitism to me, and frankly, I loathe such things.

Actually, I'm pretty much in agreement.

It makes me laugh occasionally, but for the most part it's not very funny. The one up today (falling sideways) is just dumb.

They did the video for Fall Out Boy's "Carpal Tunnel of Love".

Where the band dies in Happy Tree Friends fashion... by getting run over by an ice cream shop.

Thusly, I will defend Happy Tree Friends to the death, despite not caring about them otherwise.

xkcd is usually funny, though sometimes it's just strange...

This sure is funny.
Do I need to mention xkcd has lots of longass strips? They're just boring to read. It doesn't appeal to me because most of the time it isn't about jokes. Don't get my wrong though, there are awesome xkcd strips.
