Funny / Barney Bear

Go To

  • Barney forcing Benny the Burro to disguise himself as a girl pony in order to woo and capture the tiny horse from "Half-Pint Palomino".
  • How "Joe Scarecrow" gets rid of the crows eating Barney's corn in "Cobs and Robbers". He winds up a female crow decoy that leads the crows in a conga line.
    • The reveal that Joe is actually two crows doing a Totem Pole Trench.
    • Barney putting his head inside this cornfield, and comes out with the crows having eaten the fur on his face like an ear of corn.
    • The ending, where Barney puts up high voltage wire around the cornfield to kill the crows once and for all. Instead, the crows trick him into going inside and turn on the juice, ending with Barney atop a 50-foot tall pile of popcorn.
  • "Heir Bear". The fight between Barney and the gopher over Buried Treasure provides some of the funniest sight gags in the series.
    • The gopher plants a pine sapling on the hole Barney is digging, and as Barney tries to pull it out, the gopher pours a bottle of Quick Grow to make it grow into a redwood under Barney's feet. As Barney falls off the top, the gopher quickly builds a fireplace next to where he falls, getting Squashed Flat into a bear-skin rug. The gopher then pulls up an easy chair and sits on it to complete the tableau.
    • Barney goes after the gopher underground, resulting in a Worm Sign chase. When the gopher comes to a pipeline, the gopher jumps over it and lets Barney crash into it. The pipe breaks into pieces, with Barney's body parts inside each segment.
    • Best of all is the ending. Barney is counting his treasure when the tax collector arrives. He takes one coin... and then shoves the rest into his satchel, handing the first coin to Barney.
