The Ants (Happy Tree Friends)

The Ants are a family of ants from Happy Tree Friends who serve as recurring characters throughout the series. There is a mother ant, a baby ant, a son, and a daughter. They live an anthill with a door at the top. Sniffles is their enemy, as he tries to eat them in every episode they appear. The Ants get revenge by torturing and killing him in the most sadistic ways possible.

Why They Suck

 * 1) They are incredibly sadistic and cruel towards Sniffles.
 * 2) Unlike other famous cartoon rivalries like Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote, Sylvester and Tweety, The Ant and the Aardvark, and of course Tom and Jerry where the protagonists conflict harm on their rivals in more cartoony and harmless ways that doesn’t really kill them, the Ants conflict harm on Sniffles in very sadistic and torturous ways that actually kill him, one of the most notorious examples is in Tongue in the Cheek.
 * 3) Their voices are incredibly annoying to listen to.
 * 4) At the beginning of Suck It Up, one of the Ants steals Sniffles' cookies and offers a sick Sniffles a cookie just to yank it away and blow a raspberry at him.
 * 5) At the end of Tongue in the Cheek, they use Sniffles' corpse as a house.
 * 6) Unlike the rest of the Happy Tree Friends cast, they never have any deaths and usually get off scott free.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Some people root for them since Sniffles usually starts the conflict.
 * 2) At least they don’t made a large amount of kills unlike Flippy did.
 * 3) A YouTube user by the name of Nemao made a fan animation where the Ants die for the first time.
 * 4) They have stopped making appearance after Tongue in the Cheek.
