* One of the Season One episodes is named ''Primal''. This would later be the name of a [[WesternAnimation/{{Primal}} completely unrelated mini-series]] that would also be produced by Cartoon Network for its late-night programming block Creator/AdultSwim.

* [[https://youtu.be/874oPaE2M54 "Every day is your birthday when you're wearing your birthday suit"]]. Seems like it got picked up after all.
* The premise of the show starring three bears (a grizzly bear, panda bear, and polar bear) brings to mind ''Manga/ShirokumaCafe'', which also had [[https://youtu.be/HM_yXH9dB70 the same three species as the main characters]]. Fans have [[http://boshypastrana.deviantart.com/art/We-Bare-Bears-542676751 already taken notice]].
** The anime is eventually referenced in "Coffee Cave".
-->'''Grizz:''' How about "Polar Bear Cafe?"\\
'''Panda:''' Nah, I think that name's already taken.
* ''WesternAnimation/InsideOut'', a film released about a month before this show, contains the line "There are no bears in San Francisco" said by Disgust to Fear, after which Anger butts in saying that he saw "[[TheBear a hairy guy [that] looked like a bear]]". Creator/{{Pixar}} probably wasn't counting on Creator/CartoonNetwork to make a show all about bears in San Francisco. Not only that, creator Daniel Chong was a story artist on the film, and both works feature Bobby Moynihan.
* Even more coincidental is during E3 2015, ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTriForceHeroes'' was revealed, and one of the main gameplay elements is that three Links can stand on top of each other and form a stack of three, [[http://cartoontriper.deviantart.com/art/BearTotem-colors-542588508 just like the "#bearstack"!]]
* A year before the webcomic began, the children's book "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pcZ98kMMl4 Panda and Polar Bear]]" told the story of a panda cub and a polar cub meeting and becoming friends like how Panda and Ice Bear met as cubs.
* And way back in 2007, the short [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58hikmBWq9w "Poles Apart"]] featured a panda bear fitting into a city of polar bears and Pang Pang's appearance and {{Adorkable}} ButtMonkey character is very similar to Panda's. (And he looked exactly like Ice Bear when he got covered in snow.)
* As usual for fandoms, various "dirty confession blogs" were created on Tumblr. One person on such a blog suggested that [[http://dirty-wbb-confessions.tumblr.com/post/126272426111 Panda has an anime body pillow]]. The episode "Hibernation" reveals that Panda has a Dakimakura he calls Miki-chan.
* In one episode, the bears are playing an obvious parody of the UsefulNotes/{{Wii}}. Then, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHRonIfqswA a couple]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hKORbLaiAc of commercials]] with the bears for UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch were released. Clearly, these bears are Creator/{{Nintendo}} fans.
* In ''Film/TropicThunder'', Tugg Speedman regretfully killed a panda. When he called his manager with his mobile phone about what happened, his manager heard wrong and thought that Tugg "killed Amanda" and he wore the Panda's head as a hat. In "[[Recap/WeBareBearsS3E17SummerLove Summer Love]]", Panda returned a phone to a girl named Amanda, who wears a lot of panda-themed accessories including a hat, and she noted how their names sound alike.
* In "Grizzly: The Movie", there's a [[SerkisFolk mo-cap actor]] named "Andy" performing Grizzly's stunts, as an obvious reference to Creator/AndySerkis. In the 2018 film ''Film/{{Mowgli}}'', Serkis plays a bear, Baloo, via motion capture.
* One of the Season One episodes is named ''Primal''. This would later be the name of a [[WesternAnimation/{{Primal}} completely unrelated mini-series]] that would also be produced by Cartoon Network for its late-night programming block Creator/AdultSwim.
