Lifty and Shifty are a pair of green raccoons and the secondary antagonists in the internet cartoon Happy Tree Friends series. They are also kleptomaniacs, meaning they will steal anything that isn't nailed down (even the stuff that is nailed down) -- they have no qualms about what they steal or who from. They almost always end up being horribly killed as a result of their own misdeeds or simply because of bad luck.

Lifty and Shifty are some of the few main cast that are continually portrayed in an antagonistic role and one of the few Happy Tree Friends that can act deliberately malicious towards others, although they have been helpful at times, such as in “Happy Trails” and “Easy Comb, Easy Go”. But they're not actually villains. They're only mischievous brothers.

Like all the other characters, they do not speak clear English throughout the series, but despite this, they are both currently voiced by Kenn Navarro.

Appearance[]

Lifty and Shifty are two green kleptomaniac raccoon identical twins with dark green mask-like markings around their eyes. They have large fluffy tails and are usually drawn with small pupils. Shifty wears a fedora so others can tell them apart

Personality[]

Unlike the psychotic Flippy or super-squirrel Splendid, neither Lifty nor Shifty seem to have remorse over what they do though, unlike Flippy, they almost always receive fatal retribution (while Flippy and Splendid are famous for their resilience to death, though they are far from immune to it).

However, despite their nature, they show their good side. In “Happy Trails” the rest of the Happy Tree Friends are stranded on an island surrounded by water, Lifty and Shifty help by taking out an inflatable lifeboat. In “Easy Comb, Easy Go”, they sell hair tonic to Disco Bear. In “Class Act”, they helped out at the Christmas play (although they had to shake Flaky for it) and drag each other to safety after the fire. In “The Wrong Side of the Tracks”, they ride a roller coaster without bothering anyone. In “Wrath of Con”, they watch Splendid’s speech. In “YouTube Live”, they try to save Cuddles from the claw machine. In “Concrete Solution”, they try to revive Lumpy (although they steal his wallet after learning he was dead).

Though they still almost always fail, Lifty and Shifty are shown to be willing to go to great lengths to steal what they're after. A notable example being that in Junk in the Trunk, they want to steal Lumpy's elephant but can't move it to get it in their van. Instead they: unload all the other stolen animals (caged), completely dismantle their van, reassemble the van around the elephant to full working condition, and reload all of the other stolen pets.

However, in Meat Me For Lunch and Buns of Steal, they were shown to be very poor and starving which caused debate on whether or not they may steal because they need to, not out of malice or kleptomania. Their fridge is nearly empty and their apartment is messy and not maintained very well. Nevertheless, one of the series creators, Kenn Navarro, who also voices them, confirmed that they are indeed kleptomaniacs.

Surprisingly, both brothers can earn money honestly as some episodes depict them as street sellers, particularly “Easy Comb, Easy Go” when they sold hair tonic.

Characteristics[]

Lifty and Shifty are identical green raccoons with striped tails colored in a darker type of green, dark green spectacles overall resembling masks (due to their thief personalities and their species), and small pink heart noses. They also both have snickering looks on their faces, furthermore enhance their nature and pupils similar to Lumpy’s.

To easily tell them apart, Lifty wears nothing while Shifty wears a tall pale green fedora.

Even though they are raccoons and not humans, they look somewhat similar to gangsters, especially akin to the mafia or mob. Their grins resemble theirs and their laughing accents sound somewhat either Irish, Italian, or Eastern European. They are also fairly similar to Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale, based on the fact that both pairs are archenemies with a moose (Lumpy and Bullwinkle J. Moose) and a flying squirrel (Splendid and Rocky the Flying Squirrel). Also, similarly to Boris and Natasha, their plans usually foil. However, Lifty and Shifty are twin brothers while Boris and Natasha are a couple.

Trivia[]

  • Their laughs almost never sync up.
  • Their main enemies are Lumpy (since they steal from him most often) and Splendid (since he’s a superhero).
  • Their favourite food is meat.
  • Shifty seems to be the older twin, since he’s usually bossing Lifty around. This could imply that Lifty doesn’t think for himself and only goes along with Shifty’s plans to keep him happy. (However, Kenn Navarro once answered a similar question saying that both born at the exact same time).
  • Shifty has been said to have a gambling problem, which could be another reason why the twins are poor.
  • The Happy Tree Friends edition of the Dumb Ways to Die game depicts Shifty as an alcoholic. Winning his level has him encourage the player to drink water instead.
  • ”Cheesy Does It” is the only time only one twin died (Shifty melts his face trying to eat pizza that was too hot).
