We see nine of the characters from Happy Tree Friends: Cuddles, Giggles, Toothy, Lumpy, Petunia, Handy, Sniffles, Flaky, and Cub, all having a conversation (inaudible, as the theme music plays over it)
John: Here are the nine contestants ready to take on for tonight's show. Only one of them will win up to £1,000,000 for their charity, while the others will leave here with nothing, as round by round, they'll be voted of as… The Weakest Link.
We now see a silver link wiping the screen from right to left. Against a pale blue background, three silver links move around as the screen cuts to different views a couple more times. Then the words 'WEAKEST' and 'LINK' slide around two of the links in which they form the official logo. A couple seconds later, the background fades to reveal the Anne Droid next to the logo, while facing us
Anne Droid: Welcome… to a special edition… of The Weakest Link.
As the lights fade in, the camera zooms out to reveal the contestants and the audience
Anne Droid: The nine Tree Friends in the studio here tonight are all used to facing extreme gory adventures.
As the droid spoke, the real Anne Robinson appears in the studio and marches towards the droid. She unplug the wires, deactivating Anne Droid, and causing the contestants and the audience to laugh
Anne: I don't think so! I think we'll do that again.
She takes over as the logo reappears next to her. The music sting plays again
Anne: Welcome… to a special edition… of The Weakest Link.
The lights fade in, and the camera zooms out once more to reveal the contestants and the audience applauding
Anne: The nine Tree Friends in the studio here tonight are all used to facing extreme gory adventures. None of them have ever survived that much.
The audience and the contestants laugh, but Anne does not care that much
Anne: Anyway, they could win up to £1,000,000 for their charity. But, if they want to win that prize money, they have to work as a team. But eight of them will leave with nothing… as round by round, we lose the player voted… The Weakest Link. Let's meet the team!
After a short jingle, the camera pans from each contestant to another, one by one, as their spotlights light up
Cuddles: My name is Cuddles, I came here to prove that I'm worthy of being so fragile from whenever I get hugged.
Audience: Awww…
Giggles: I'm Giggles, and here to warn all the people about the environment! Hmph!
Toothy: Toothy here. And just because I have a crush in Cuddles just doesn't mean you can judge me from the LGBT law so badly!
Lumpy: I'm Lumpy, though why did you take me here in this studio again?
The audience laugh
Petunia: I'm Petunia, I'm the most attractive skunk you could ever see, judging by my OCD and my cute air freshener.
Handy: I'm Handy, but you can see that I'm NOT handy…
He shows his bandaged arms disappointingly, making the audience murmur
Handy: …but I can play this just by using my mouth to speak.
The audience one again laugh at this fact
Sniffles: My name is Sniffles. I may be the smartest kid in our world, but I could not stand any of the ants trying to brutalise me!
Flaky: Hi… I'm Flaky, glad to see that there are no chicks in this place…
She laughs nervously, making the audience sigh in awe
Cub: And I'm Cub, Pop's careful son! I am playing this alone so Daddy won't disturb me so close… well, at least he's here behind me.
Pop (offscreen): I'm cheering for you Son!
The audience giggle briefly, then applauded. The camera zooms back to reveal the full view of the studio again, before Anne starts to explain to the contestants about how to play the game
Anne: Now the rules: in each round, the aim is to answer enough questions correctly to reach your £100,000 target WITHIN the time limit. There are nine of you, so the fastest way to reach that target is to create a chain of nine correct answers. Get your question wrong, and you break the chain and lose all the money in that chain. But if you say the word 'BANK' before the question is asked, the money is safe. However, you will then start a new chain from scratch. Remember team, at the end of the round, only money that has been banked can be carried on to the next round. In round one, there are three minutes on the clock. We'll start with the person whose name is first alphabetically… and that's you, Cub.
Cub (surprised): Me first? Oh no…
Anne smirks at the youngest contestant
Anne: Let's play… THE WEAKEST LINK!
The short jingle plays as Anne turns her computer podium to Cub
Anne: The first question is for £1,000. Start the clock!
As the time starts, the money tree fades in on the left hand side of the screen you can see here:
£100,000
£70,000
£45,000
£25,000
£10,000

Suddenly, the perfect round jingle plays, and the audience cheer and applaud for the team to have passed, with 32 seconds left to spare
Handy: Come on team!
Cub: WHOO-HOO!
Pop: That's my boy!
Flaky: Phew…
Cuddles: THAT'S how we do it!
The audience stop clapping
Anne (not too impressed): A reasonable start, team.
Everyone including the contestants laugh
Anne: …Ok. You've reached and banked your £100,000 target within the time limit. That money will go over to the next round. But of course, one of you will not. Who is it? Who's worrying you? Who may be a bit on the dim side? Who don't you like? It's time to vote off… The Weakest Link.
Soon, all the spotlights turn red, and the contestants start voting by writing the names on their touch screens
John: In an impressive first round, Cub is the strongest link. The weakest link is Lumpy as he was the only player to get all his answers wrong, despite having banked £75,000 in total. But will he survive on the first vote?
All the contestants finish voting
Anne: Voting over; it's time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.
The camera pans to every contestant who press their buttons to reveal their choice on their electric podiums
Cuddles: Lumpy.
Giggles: Lumpy.
Toothy: Lumpy.
Lumpy: Flaky.
Petunia: Lumpy.
Handy: Lumpy.
Sniffles: Lumpy.
Flaky: Lumpy.
Cub: Lumpy.
A couple seconds later, Anne turns to Cub
Anne: Cub. Do you have any idea how brave you were against that round?
Cub: Uh… no?
The audience laugh
Anne: You were very brave, actually. You've answered all your questions without even hesitating!
Cub: Ooh… I knew that, hehe.
Anne: You also seem to act as if I'm your step grandmother.
Cub: …possibly.
Anne: Great to have you on this show, at least for an infant.
The audience giggle
Anne: Why Lumpy?
Cub: Well I noticed he didn't do well. He didn't get a question right.
Anne: Mhm.
Anne then turns to Flaky
Anne: Flaky!
Flaky: …who, me?
Anne: Yes, you. I just noticed you have a fear of chicks.
Flaky: Yeah… why?
Anne (coldly): I'M the biggest chick here.
Flaky: EEEEEK!
Flaky hides behind her podium so cowardly that it made the audience laugh loud. The contestants do not find this funny however
Petunia: That was beyond scary, Miss! You've terrified our friend here!
Anne (sarcastically): Whoops.
Flaky shakenly stands up again
Anne: Surprise, I was lying!
Flaky: Darn it!
Anne: Why Lumpy?
Flaky: …hmph. Well, like Cub said, Lumpy got all his questions wrong.
Anne: Well team, Lumpy was indeed the weakest link statistically in that round. Although he banked the most money for all of you. Isn't that right Mister?
Lumpy: Oh, I banked a lot of money?
Anne: Yes. But the fact that you were also stupid at answering questions, it cost you dearly. Lumpy, with eight votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye!
The audience clap as Lumpy leaves his podium, and taking the Walk of Shame. The screen fades to the next slide of Lumpy having an interview
Lumpy: It was so fun playing this game. But having to be voted off in the first round is a bit of a pickle. I think Flaky should be next to get off. She could not help but protect herself from that so called harm.
