The Early Cameos
He and Boo Boo made cameos appearances in the Snagglepuss episode "Remember The Daze."

Yogi, again, made a cameo appearance, alongside Quick Draw and Baba Looey in an acting book in the episode "Paws For Applause."

In the episode "Too Much to Bear," he was mentioned as the cousin of the Three Bears. He was later seen in a picture frame in the Three Bears' house.

In The Flintstones, he and Boo Boo briefly popped up at Bedrock in the episode "Swedish Visitors."

In the Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy episode "Pop's Nature Pup," Augie brings in a bear who can drive, which happens to be Yogi.

A Pup Named Scooby-Doo cameo
In the episode "The Story Stick," he conspicuously watched the kids from the background, as they entered the Indian reservation.

He later reappeared during a chase between the kids and the Totem Spirit, with the latter running into a cave, and then being chased back out by unwelcoming Yogi.

Everyone's Back in Jellystone!
In "A Town Video: Welcome to Jellystone," Yogi botches Wally Gator's surgery so bad, he starts speaking French.

Yogi Sells Out
In The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy episode "Here There Be Dwarfs," he is portrayed as a drug addict trying to steal a picnic basket from Billy. In "Irwin Gets a Clue," he's one of the Hanna Barbera characters run over by Hoss Delgado's truck.

In the Duck Dodgers episode "K9 Quarry," Yogi appears as a stuffed trophy on an alien hunter's ship.

In the MAD episode "Ko-Bee Movie/Law and Ogre", during the "Law and Ogre Segment", a mysterious caller tell Shrek he prosecuted the wrong bear and they'll never find the real killer. The caller and killer turns out to be Yogi, who accidentally gave himself away when he says "You'll never catch me, I'm smarter than the average bear"

Into the ServerVerse
In the Warner Bros. Serververse in Space Jam: A New Legacy, Yogi and Boo Boo arrive at the basketball game between the Tune Squad and the Goon Squad in the Mystery Machine. Like all the other IPs, they have no particular preference and just react to whatever is happening.

Behind the scenes

 * According to a 1982 calendar, he was born on September 9th.
 * He goes into hibernation on December 22nd.

In popular culture

 * In the Robert Klein episode of Saturday Night Live, he imitates the general idea of a friendly cartoon bear in his monologue, and apparently chooses Yogi because he says, "Hi, Boo Boo."
 * In the Mind Your Language episode "No Flowers by Request," when Mr. Brown mentioned (John) Logie Baird, the Scottish inventor of the television, Ali thought he meant Yogi, who he watched the previous night, along with Yogi's friend Boo Boo.
 * In the 1988 film The Great Outdoors, when Chet gets two bears on top of his car, he says "Yogi and Boo Boo in the flesh. I wish the hell Ranger Smith would get out here and get us home."
 * In the Gilmore Girls episode "Red Light on the Wedding Night," Lorelei mentions Yogi Berra to Snookie, but Snookie is so hungover she thinks Lorelei said Yogi Bear.
 * In the 2002 film Snow Dogs, Ted runs into a bear, who he tries to appeal to by saying he likes Yogi.
 * 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. Seth MacFarlane voices Yogi.
 * In The Cleveland Show episode "Birth of a Salesman," Terry says he'll buy Tim the bear a whole steak if he shows him his "bear penis." Cleveland then mocks him by imitating Yogi's voice when he asks, "Is it bigger than the average bear's?"
 * In the Comic Book Men episode "Wurst Episode Ever," Walt asks the staff what their official animal watchdog would be for the Stash, with Ming replying Yogi, which Walt thinks is a terrible idea because all he does is steal picnic baskets.
 * In the Transformers: Robots in Disguise episode "The Trouble with Fixit," after fighting a bear, Sideswipe tells Jetstorm and Slipstream they should get out of the woods before "Yogi" shows up again.
 * In the 31st Treehouse of Horror segment "Into the Homer-verse" of The Simpsons, one of the many Homers features a homer named Homer-Barbera, who changes into a parody of Yogi Bear and goes "Hey Boo Boo, let's go steal a pic a nic meal!"
 * Baseball player Yogi Berra attempted to sue Hanna Barbera over Yogi Bear sounding too similar to his name. Hanna Barbera stated that the name was merely a coincidence and the case didn't go anywhere. Ironically when Berra died on September 22, 2015, his obituary by the press accidentally referred to him as Yogi Bear.
 * In the American version of Whose Line is it Anyway?, a game of "Press Conference" had Colin Mochrie as Yogi announcing he killed Boo Boo.
 * In the 2022 Disney+ film Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers, Yogi has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
 * In The Fairly Odd Parents and Jimmy Neutron crossover "Timmy Jimmy Power Hour", Jimmy tells everyone that he's not Timmy, to which Sanjay mocks him by saying "I'm not Sanjay, I'm Yogi Bear, and I am smarter than the average bear"
