I love sniffles very very much but I feel like the best payoff for the ants would be if they got one more episode where sniffles finally gets to eat the ants,,,,,,and then immediately finds out he's allergic to them
Is it just me, or could the ants in "Tongue Twister Trouble" be different from the ants in other episodes?
Because they don't look like the ant family at all.
If it is supposed to be them, then where's the baby ant? Not to mention, the three ants in "Tongue Twister Trouble" are all the same size while Sister Ant and Brother Ant are smaller than the Mother Ant.
In my opinion I suspect that they're different characters. This was still pretty early on, being Sniffles's fourth episode and the Ants's second. It wouldn't be a surprise if the ants in "Tongue Twister Trouble" were ditched after that episode ala Giggles's mom, especially since they do act just like the Ant family in other episodes.

Ticklish Ant-ics
Sniffles was relaxing on a beautiful summer day. The sun was high in the sky, clouds high and scattered around like a bag of cotton balls that fell on the bathroom floor. The air was warm, wind barely present, but still there and giving a reminding refresher of the weather.
It was a wonderful day for a picnic, Sniffles had decided earlier that day. So he gathered up his picnic blanket, packing a plentiful lunch, expecting to laze around under the sun with his favorite book.
Engrossed by the book, he reached over to bite into his sandwich, it being his favorite, healthy and scientifically nutritious; cucumber, turkey he got from a high grade processor, muenster cheese, cream cheese with everything seasoning, and tomatoes. Taking a bite, then two, he crammed his mouth full of the crispy sandwich and then put it back on his plate, shaking his hand off of breadcrumbs and then put his thumb back across the page. However, a sound was heard. His ear flinched up at it, looking up to see an ant grabbing some crumbs. A stare off… then a gleeful expression as he grinned.
"I suppose I did forget to pack dessert," he muttered to himself. He aimed his tongue as the ant noticed the anteater had spotted him. Hoping to have a final act of surrender, he shyly put the breadcrumbs back down onto the plate until he saw the tongue shooting out and nearly missing him.
He screamed out and ran as fast as he could, Sniffles getting up and abandoning his picnic. The thought of a crispy, crunchy ant in his teeth was overwhelming his thoughts, dismissing anything logical thinking in that moment just to have a taste.
He continued to go after the ant, it screaming it’s language towards a nearby anthill. A wooden door opened up, the mother ant screaming back and ushering him inside. Sniffles couldn’t help but grin. What was better than one ant?
“A colony!” he exclaimed with wide eyes. Before the door could shut, Sniffles rushed in and shoved his arm into the hole. This wouldn’t be the first time, so he knew what he was feeling, differentiating the dirt and the ants apart.
His fingers wiggled along the dirt, trying to find where the ants are. “Come on…” he muttered. “Where are you guys…?”
He huffed and was about to give up and think of a new plan, but he felt a tickle on his arm. Was there… an ant crawling on his arm? He jumped at the sensation as he witnessed not one, not two, but nearly twelve ants skitter along his fur. He trid to pull his arm out, but it was stuck.
“A-aah Don’t bite, don’t bite, don’t biiiite…” he winced in. He closed his eyes in worry. The ants got to his shoulder before screaming to each other a plan and splitting up. Sniffles opened an eye to see if they maybe got off, but suddenly, laughter eripted from his throat and there was a tickle in his armpit. “Ah! Aaahahaha! Wh-whahahat!?”
He continued to try to pry his arm out of the hole, laughing out as his sides were taunted by many legs and hands. They were tickling him! He may as well have been a rabbit in a snare with the hunter nearby. “Nohohahahaha! No pleeheeheheease! Please stahahahaaaap!”
Bubbly giggled filled the air as the ants continued their tickly assault. Some started to wander behind his knees, others making a race around his neck. All the anteater could do was holler and squeal, having only one arm to try to stop the ants. They knew this, though, and mostly kept on the side with the free arm so it had no choice but to pin itself against him.
When he felt some ants start to wander up and down his spine, he arched his back and squeaked out. “Waaahahahaait! Naahahahat there, pleeheeheeheease!”
All his mind could think of was how much it tingled, how his spine became a tickle tool of itself, sending his nervous system in a flustered state; as if his very core was being brushed by butterfly wings.
Sniffles continued to wheeze in desperation as his knees, which wobbled like leaves, gave out and he collapsed to the floor half way. This gave the ants free reign to his feet.
“No! Nohohahaha! Dohohohohon’t!” he begged out, feeling some of them already itching on his ankles. “I’ll diihiihiihiie pleeheeheeheeease!”
But either his begging fell on numb vibrations or they transferred what he pleaded and chose to ignore it. He felt countless legs start to have a strolll on the soles of his feet. Some of them even got playful, tugging at his toes and wiggling fingers between them. “EEEAAAHAAHAHAHAAHAHA!!!”
Sniffles threw his head back almost dramatically, using his free arm to support himself as his stomach lurched to the sky, which also had a wandering ant or two. Not one place on his body was untouched by these vengeful ants, who wanted nothing more than to get revenge on this ant eater who ate them out of their house and home; or attempted to, anyway. He never did succeed. “PLEEEHEEAHAHAA!! I CAHAHAHAAHA!! YOU CAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!!!”
He was unable to finish his consonants as his begs became more and more desperate. Typically, his brain would think of ways to get out of any situation, but it was no help as of right now. ‘This tickles, this tickles so much, it tickles, it tickles!’’ It stuck to the one word on repeat, like a broken record. He’d have to remind himself to thank his brain for nothing later on.
As his toes were tugged, his ribs pinched, even the spot under his chin propped and poked, he felt there would be one last attempt. Anything to get out of this!
“OKAAAHAAHHAAAY!! OKAY PLEEHEEHEEHEEASE!! I WOHOHOHON’T EEEHEEHEEEAAHAHAA!! I WOHOHOHON’T EEEHEEEHEEHEEAT YOU AGAIN, JUHUHUHUHUST STAAAAHAAHAHAHAAHP!!!”
He couldn’t tell if they understood that, his tears had fogged up his glasses a little while ago. He felt them all crawl on him, but then all of them went under his arm, the one that was trapped. They tickled it with no mercy, Sniffles screaming out in laughter. It was just enough to have his arm be tugged out. With that, they stopped and receded in their ant hill.
Sniffles wheezed and panted, holding his stomach and sides and even rubbing his own feet to get rid of any lingering tickles. He couldn’t believe the ants had won yet again! It was no fair! … thank goodness though that he didn’t say he promised. One of these days, he will have a feast of ants. But for right now? … his picnic souded pretty good. After all, it wouldn’t come alive and tickle at him until he begged.
So with pride slightly shrunken, he wobbled back to his picnic, collapsed on the blanket, looked at the sky and sighed out while still giggling.
“Eeeeheeehee… o… one… dahahay…” he gulped. “... I will gehehet an ant…”
I know how @nuttymoments hates how the ants are designed and I do to tbh so I did some redesigns! No refs were used I was watching looney tunes back in action
