3!!The 1961 Cartoon
4* AccidentalAesop: Don't feed the bears, or they'll become mischievous like Yogi.
5* AccidentalInnuendo: In "Booby Trapped Bear", the chief of the Rangers arrives to assess the situation because he was informed that someone was "[[BestialityIsDepraved molesting a bear]]." In TheSixties, [[HaveAGayOldTime "molest" meant]] "pester and harass", as opposed to pestering and harassing in [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil a decidedly different sense]].
6* AccidentalNightmareFuel: Who thought [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyK8XuozrZc this]] was a good opening for a videogame? It's Yogi's face moving right up to the viewer on a black background, while a voice shouts, "HERE COMES YOGI!"
7* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
8** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqVC1w-2Cy0 Yogi Bear is smarter than the average bear...]]
9** Pretty much EVERY song sung by Cindy.
10* ContestedSequel: Was the brief 1988 reboot a solid return to form for Yogi (after he dabbled in numerous spinoffs like ''WesternAnimation/YogisGang'' and ''WesternAnimation/YogisTreasureHunt'') or just a lame modernized reprise of the classic Yogi shorts?
11* HilariousInHindsight: ''Yogi Bear's All-Star Comedy Christmas Caper'' features Yogi hiding out in a department store, which is a parody of Macy's. The name? ''[[MonsterClown Gacy's]]''.
12* MorePopularSpinoff: ''The Yogi Bear Show'' was basically a SpinOff of ''WesternAnimation/TheHuckleberryHoundShow'', but it is much more remembered than its predecessor today.
13* TearJerker: You can't help feeling bad for Boo Boo in ''Hey There, It's Yogi Bear!''. First he thought Yogi has been sent to the San Diego Zoo (Yogi tricks another bear in his place and hid for a while), then Cindy gets herself transferred out to be with him. At first he finds some solace knowing that Yogi and Cindy will be together, until Ranger Smith told him Cindy has been sent to the St. Louis Zoo instead. Boo Boo tries to stop the truck but it's too far gone, leaving him all alone with the knowledge that Yogi and Cindy will [[StarCrossedLovers forever be separated]] on top of never seeing them again. Until he reunited with Yogi, who's determined to find Cindy and take her home.
14* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The 1988 revival is definitely a product of TheEighties. The series features three episodes with Ninja Raccoon as part of the 1980s ninja craze. The episode "The Big Bear Ballet" has Yogi meeting a Russian lady bear; he mistakes her for a spy due to the UsefulNotes/ColdWar.
15* TheWoobie: Cindy Bear. The minute she cries, it's hard not to want to reach out and give her a hug, especially in ''Hey There, It's Yogi Bear!''.

17!!The 2010 Film
18* AccidentalInnuendo: One of the movie's posters had a close-up of Yogi's and Boo Boo's smiling faces, with Yogi behind Boo Boo. The tagline? "[[http://cdn.collider.com/wp-content/uploads/yogi_bear_poster_02.jpg Great things come in bears]]".
19* BrokenBase: While Music/JustinTimberlake's Boo-Boo was very well-received, Creator/DanAykroyd's Yogi proved to be more divisive. Some thought he sounded completely off, others thought he did a good job.
20%%* ClicheStorm: The plot is so predictable you can tell what's going to happen next even if you've never seen it before.
21* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: If there's one thing that people will give the live-action movie credit for, it's that Justin Timberlake does a surprisingly very good job as Boo-Boo.
22* QuestionableCasting:
23** Many fans were quite surprised when Creator/DanAykroyd was cast as the voice of Yogi Bear for the 2010 movie, and even more were outraged when Music/JustinTimberlake was cast as Boo Boo Bear. Surprisingly, as revealed by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hiJ2dbpRY0 the teaser]], Timberlake was actually quite spot on.[[note]]It probably helped that Timberlake imitated cartoon character voices as a child as a voice exercise, and Boo Boo was one of his favorites.[[/note]] Aykroyd, on the other hand, was more divisive, but even then many did like his take on Yogi.
24** Creator/TomCavanagh is not the first actor who comes to mind when you think "strict authoritarian ranger". And for good reason.
25%%* RomanticPlotTumor: There’s literally no reason for Rachel Johnson to be Ranger Smith’s love interest. You could take that subplot away and still have the same movie.
26* StockFootageFailure: Yogi's use of the [[StockScream Wilhelm Scream]] has garnered infamy to the point where some call it one of the worst uses of the scream. This isn't helped by how [[NeverTrustATrailer he actually yelled in pain in the trailers]], which begs the question as to why the Wilhelm Scream was still used in the final product.
27* UnintentionalUncannyValley: The "great things come in bears" poster comes off as unnerving due to the fact that it uses extreme close-ups of Yogi and Boo-Boo's realistic stock renders.
