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 youthful 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 exploits and schemes. He acts as his conscience who constantly tries to keep him (albeit, unsuccessfully) from doing things he should not do, and also to keep Yogi from getting into trouble with Ranger Smith. One of his trademark phrases is "The Ranger isn't gonna like this, Yogi." Boo Boo is incredibly friendly and is a straight man to Yogi's more eccentric ego. He is also admired by Ranger Smith, since he sees Boo Boo as a bear who respects the park rules more than Yogi.

In the Jellystone! reboot, his personality appears to be more hyperactive, but is still level-headed and loyal to his more off-the-wall friends.

Main article: List of pop culture references to Yogi Bear

• 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 Duckman: Private Duck/Family Man episode "I, Duckman," a home movie reel depicts a young Duckman and his father in the same apparel as Boo Boo and Yogi, respectively, while visiting Jellyroll Park for one last camping trip together before Duckman goes to college, which makes Mr. Duckman (voiced by Joe Alaskey doing an impression of Yogi) very proud of his son in being "better than the average duck." This is when he finds out his son has no intention to attend college, which Mr. Duckman tell him that would be a "big boo boo," and chases him in one continuous loop with frantic music in the same manner Ranger Smith would chase Yogi. Ranger Smith is also parodied with a dog dressed like park ranger, who Mr. Duckman affectionately refers to as Mr. Ranger when he asks him where they can put their pic-a-nic basket.
• In The Ren & Stimpy Show episode "Stupid Sidekick Union," Ren sets up an audition line from Scab Sidekick Union after Stimpy quits, which includes Boo Boo wearing a tie like Yogi, a Squiddly Diddly lookalike, and Barney Rubble with Fred Flintstone's hair color.
• 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 Chris Rice's song "Cartoons," Rice questions if Yogi is religious and would say "Hey, Boo-Boo-loo-ya" in place of "Hallelujah."
• In the Moesha episode "All This and Turkey, Too," Moesha called Q Boo Boo Bear while speaking to him on the phone.
• In the Sesame Street episode "Episode 4055," after the birth of Papa and Mama Bear's second child, Gordon asks if they she has a name, with Papa looking back into The Best Book of Bear Names Ever for suggestions, coming back with Yogi Bear, which Mama turns down, and then Boo Boo, which everyone turns down.
• 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 Cleveland Show episode "Like a Boss," Tim the Bear cracks a joke when he gets off the employees' bus, pretending that one of them is Boo Boo where the picnic baskets are. He then gets serious and says that only his kind can make jokes like that as it's a negative stereotype bears have been fighting against for years.
• In the movie Just Go with It, Devlin and Ian get romantic on their date with Katherine and Daniel, using Yogi/Yogi Bear and Boo Boo as pet names for each other, respectively. Ian even does Yogi's voice.
• In "Episode 18" (series 7) of the UK BBC One Pointless game show, the first round of questions that fell into the "Cartoon" category is Hanna-Barbera cartoon characters, with host Alexander Armstrong showing an image of several of them together. The contestants have to be able to pick out all the obscure characters that 100 anonymous public people had been able to guess. Contestant John chose Boo Boo, which 27 out of the anonymous public had also chosen correctly. Cohost Richard Osman pointed out that Boo Boo first appeared in 1958.
• 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 the Nickelodeon series The Loud House and The Loud House Movie, Lori's pet name for her boyfriend, Bobby, is "Booby Boo Boo Bear," or just "Boo Boo Bear." It is also used in the live-action adaptations beginning with the TV movie A Loud House Christmas, and its full-length TV series spin-off, The Really Loud House.
• In the Bargain Hunt episode "Christmas Special - Malvern 27," fiberglass rubbish bin lids shaped like Boo Boo, Huckleberry, and Yogi were found at a car boot sale by the red team who bought the Yogi one for £110, which they sold at auction for £80.

• "Episode Two" (series 2): On Cartoon Crimewatch, Nick Russ reports the theft of a picnic basket on Easter Sunday. In a reenactment, Yogi orders Boo Boo to provide a distraction for him, so that he can steal the picnic basket, but his plan is foiled by the appearance of Ranger Smith.

Boo Boo doesn't like this and is concerned for Yogi's girlfriend, Cindy. But Yogi feels powerless against Ranger Smith's "picnic basket," and calls Cindy a "trailer trash hoe." Boo Boo can't hear anymore and responds with, "Talk to the paw, cos the face ain't listening!" As Yogi and Boo Boo bicker, Jerry closes the show with his "Final Thoughts," that if you go into the woods be careful because you'll be in for a big surprise.
• "Episode Four" (series 9): Politician Iain Duncan Smith wants cartoon characters to stop sneaking into the UK through "the channel" of Nickelodeon. Smith shows a scene that has Yogi telling Boo Boo he has an idea to steal a picnic basket, which according to Smith will lead to cartoon bears the running of prostitutes and hiring a vicious crack empire on the streets of London.
