Boo Boo Bear


 * For the coloring book, see Boo Boo Bear (coloring book).

Boo Boo Bear is a talking anthropomorphic bear and the sidekick of Yogi Bear in the Yogi Bear animated franchise. His voice was originated by Don Messick.

Character description
Boo Boo is a bear with light brown fur and a blue bow tie. He is short in height, and has droopy eyelids that cover part of his eyes. Although he has a youthul appearance, it is not readily apparent whether Boo Boo is a juvenile bear with a vast intellect, or simply an adult who is short of stature.

Boo Boo acts as a constant companion to Yogi Bear, as well as his voice of reason. He resides in a cave on Jellystone National Park, and follows Yogi in his various schemes. He constantly tries to keep Yogi (albeit, unsuccessfully) from doing things he should not do, and also to keep Yogi from getting into trouble with Ranger Smith – often saying, "The Ranger isn't gonna like this, Yogi," or some variation of the line. He is incredibly friendly as is a admired by Ranger Smith, since he sees Boo Boo as a bear who does the right thing.

In the Jellystone! reboot, his personality appears to be more hyperactive.

Behind the scenes

 * Sometimes, Yogi will refer to Boo Boo as "Boob."

In popular culture
In the Mad episode "Life of Rhyme/Here Comes Yogi Boo Boo," there is a segment named "Here Comes Yogi Boo Boo," a parody of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo where Boo Boo plays the role of, well, Honey Boo Boo.
 * In an episode of the British sitcom Mind Your Language, called "No Flowers by Request," Mr. Brown mentioned (John) Logie Baird, the Scottish inventor of the television, but Ali thought he meant Yogi, who he watched the previous night, along with Yogi's friend Boo Boo.
 * In the film Slumber Party Massacre, Diane's nickname for her boyfriend John is "Boo Boo."
 * In The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air episode "72 Hours," when Will tells Carton not to go to a dangerous park, Carlton assures him that he'll inform the park rangers if something happens, to which Will replies, "It's not that kind of park, Boo Boo!"
 * In the Animaniacs segment "Back in Style," the Warner Siblings were loaned off to other cartoon studios, including one run by Phil and Shmoe (parodies of Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera). One of the cartoon characters that the Warners met is a spoof of Yogi Bear, named Who Who Hooey, where they mocked his cartoon's superficial dialogue and flat backgrounds. The Warner siblings interfere in the lunchbox stealing escapades of Calhourn Capybara and his impressionable young sidekick, Lew Lew, parodies of Yogi and Boo Boo.
 * In the Family Guy episode "Hell Comes to Quahog," Meg berates Peter for getting her tank confiscated, but he tells her it's not as worse as the time he did a park ranger (likely Ranger Smith) a favor by fatally stabbing Yogi with a hunter's knife and then suffocating him to get the job done faster, while Boo Boo watches helplessly. After Peter is done, he callously orders Boo Boo to tell the other bears what he just saw.
 * In the Robot Chicken skit "Laff-A-Munich" segment of the episode "Ban on the Fun", he is awoken to witness Yogi's struggle to prevent the Really Rottens from getting in, but the Dread Baron manages to shoot Boo Boo to the point of his head exploding. In this skit, Victor Yerrid provided his voice.
 * Pop star Justin Timberlake used to do voice impressions as a kid to get better at singing, one of them was Boo Boo. He would go on to voice the bear in the live action Yogi Bear movie.
 * In the Nickelodeon series The Loud House, Lori's pet name for her boyfriend, Bobby, is "Booby Boo Boo Bear," or just "Boo Boo Bear."

Whose Line Is It Anyway? (American)

 * November 21, 2001: A game of "Press Conference" had Colin Mochrie as Yogi announcing he killed Boo Boo. The host, Drew Carrey, points out that the audience may not like Boo Boo, as they cheered at the fact he was killed.
 * January 31, 2002: A game of "Questionable Impersonations" had Brad Sherwood asking Boo Boo when Mr. Ed's wife was due, with Ryan Stiles as Mr. Ed believing that Yogi was the doctor.
