I like how you blatantly just flat out went "NO FLIPPY IS NOT A GARY STU!!1" instead of actually addressing most of the points I put forward.

Flippy still doesn't die a lot compared to other characters. His aesthetic clashes with the show's, and unlike other characters with a gimmick, he doesn't really have any roles that aren't COMPLETELY about his gimmick.

In my opinion- Lammy and Mr. Pickels do everything he does, but better. Lammy gets some use outside of her gimmick of "she's killing people but it looks to her like Mr. Pickels is doing it", and she dies/gets messed up quite a bit herself, and is actually useful as a background character (whereas Flippy is almost NEVER just a background character the way the others can be).

heck, let's put it in NUMBERS, the math here might be a little shaky but:

Lammy has appeared in 6 episodes and has been maimed/injured/killed in 3. that's 50%.

and Flippy? he's appeared in 22 (if you don't count Double Whammy as 2 separate eps) episodes??? and he's been dead/injured in 9 of them? that's 40.9%.
