Your Favourite Fictional Bear?
 


You're never too old, as they say, so don't try playing it all hard and indiecool in this thread!




After the 'cheese' poll, the obvious next topic was 'fictional bears'.

Tell us your favourite, and how much you like them...

Culled from literature, theatre and television.

And this time I'll say at the start - you only get ten poll options, max. So I had to choose.

truncated 03.24.2006 11:28 AM

So where are the poll options?

Hip Priest 03.24.2006 11:31 AM

Above you. I've voted!

sonicl 03.24.2006 11:33 AM

At first I though this was for fictional beers, and the only one I could think of voting for was Duff.

But if it's bears... Well, it's got to be baloo, you can't beat a singing bear, can you? If my teddy bears sang to me I'm sure I'd sleep a whole lot better.

Fozzie Bear from the Muppets!
Glaring oversight.

Goah, your right. I'd have subbed Fozzie for Baby Bear if I'd thought of that. Glaring is the word. :(

Trasher02 03.24.2006 11:54 AM

wow cool i didn't know you could make polls like this

truncated 03.24.2006 11:58 AM

I'll have to vote for Snuggles, for good characterization. That bear scared the piss out of me.

A Thousand Threads 03.24.2006 12:03 PM

haha
that´s a nice poll

jon boy 03.24.2006 12:06 PM

paddingtom might have just swung it but i am afraid that i have dissed some of my childhood. marmalade sandwiches all round though in deepest darkest peru and etc...

Hip Priest 03.24.2006 12:07 PM

 


One of my great influences, jonboy - the bear from Darkest Peru.

Inhuman 03.24.2006 12:31 PM

One of the best threads I've seen on the new board! Nice one Hip. I'm going with Winnie, partially because I was named after that show. The books actually weren't half bad.

fishmonkey 03.24.2006 12:35 PM

Yogi, it has to be Yogi, when i was young i found a little teddy bear on the street and i took him hime and named him Boo Boo, we had years of fun with me been Yogi and my new friend Boo Boo...
Turns out years after on one of my best mates name is . .. . . . . . . . . Boo
(and yes he is human)

Glice 03.24.2006 01:00 PM

I voted for Paddington. I don't think Rupert counts as, surely, he lives in a very real way in all of our hearts.

RockerNino 03.24.2006 01:15 PM

i loved paddington

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 03.24.2006 02:26 PM

I chose pooh-bear. Paddington is cool and all, and so is Rupert, but the original winnie the pooh movie was great.

krastian 03.24.2006 03:02 PM

No Berenstain Bears or Smokey the Bear? Ha. I still would vote for Yogi. Hey a' Boo Boo?!?

Flen flyys 03.24.2006 03:11 PM

Damn, some good choices there. As a huge Tailspin fan and The Jungle Book as well, I went with with good 'ol Baloo.

Glice 03.24.2006 03:13 PM

I keep misreading the title of this thread. I think I will start another thread to illustrate my trouble.

johnnywinternoshow 03.24.2006 05:41 PM

When we were on acid we would go into the woods; because when you were in the woods trippin' there was less likely a chance you'd run into an authority figure ... but we ran into a bear; that was even more of a buzz-kill. My friend Duayne was standing there raising his right hand swearing to help prevent forest fires. We got away from the bear, he put his arm around my shoulder and said to me "Mitchell, Smokey is way more intense in person"

Hip Priest 03.24.2006 05:53 PM

You're such a cool bunch - dear old Padders is winning!

Yr hard-assed voting inspired me to do another scan of the ever-helpful bear:


 


Oops! He does try hard though.

TheDom 03.24.2006 05:57 PM

Are you kidding me?

Baloo all the way.

spiritbears 03.24.2006 06:13 PM

Yeah, Mitch rules(d).

My Favourite is the baby bear in the movie 'The Bear'.
The scene where he eats the fly agaric and trips out is cool!

xpresswaytoyrskull 03.24.2006 06:29 PM

Bobo, Burns' bear.

Film? FILM? Don't mention that putrid Disney turd. Winnie The Pooh is a book you ignorant twat!

Phlegmscope 03.24.2006 08:46 PM

 


This was a polish animation from the late 70's they showed here in this children show during my childhood. I don't know its name in english though...
So how about your winnie the pooh and that motherfucker paddington and every other imperialistic scum get the fuck out of here!

Maybe crappydrummer can help me with this one?

RIPfrey05 03.24.2006 09:09 PM

THE PICKUP BEAR- from taht deerhoof song!

Sheriff Rhys Chatham 03.24.2006 09:12 PM

anyone remember the green jelly bear mountian song?

sonicl 03.25.2006 01:44 AM

Rupert Bear was always too much of a goody-goody for me, he'd never be the type to get into any mischevious scrapes. A bit of a teacher's pet. And I didn't like the stories all being in rhyme.

Glice 04.04.2009 04:42 AM

Aw. The golden age of Hip Priest's poll-based threads. Not as good as his cheese thread, but great nonetheless.
