Nacho Bear is a web series created for Cartoon Network's "Wedgies" which was an anthology series based around random. The series centers around a red bear who is determined to eat one single nacho chip and risks life and limb to reach it along with his friend who is a green raccoon.
Tropes in Nacho Bear
- Aside Glance: In "Road Rube", after smashing through the third billboard (which happens to be a nacho advertisement), Nacho Bear gives the viewer an annoyed look.
- Bat Scare: In "Batter Up" the bear and raccoon find the chip surrounded by mushrooms only for it to be a bat cave and are flown out when they do.
- Beary Friendly: The titular bear is kind towards other animals, and has a friend green raccoon.
- Butt-Monkey: The bear, the raccoon, and the saber-toothed tiger go through a massive amount of misfortune and pain in each episode.
- Downer Ending: In every episode it floats away from him entirely, while you'd think he would get it once by logical circumstances, he never gets it. Not even on the last episode.
- The Determinator: The bear is willing to go to every length to get a single nacho chip even though he's got a bag full of them.
- Digging to China: In "Half or Hole" China has another duo like the bear and the raccoon only it's a panda instead of trying to get a Nacho Rice Cake.
- Grand Finale: "The Long One" is the most detailed of them all, and is the last episode.
- Failure Is the Only Option: He fails every time at getting the chip. Even in "The Long One", the finale.
- Identical Stranger: In China, there is a panda bear in "Half or Hole" who is exactly the same as the nacho bear, has a raccoon sidekick, and they're chasing after a nacho rice cake instead. Plus they're in exactly the same scenario. They both meet alongside the nacho chip at the end.
- No Ending: In "Road Rube" he sees the nacho chip on top of the mountain and runs off to get it but it doesn't conclude if he actually does get it.
- Once per Episode: A graphic of the text "Nacho Chip" plays whenever it first appears.
- Silence Is Golden: There is no dialogue in this show at all except for grunts which symbolize words.
- Screams Like a Little Girl: In "Anty Social" the bear screams womanly when he spots the chip while attempting to "sing" for the "judges", which gives him a 2.1 score.
- Shaking the Rump: In "Anty Social" an ant bites the bear and shakes its behind at him when the bear tries scaring him into dropping it.
- Unsound Effect: Whenever the chip is introduced in each episode, or says "Nacho Chip!" in text.
- Yank the Dog's Chain: Frequently whenever the bear tries to eat the chip, even in very close success range, it somehow manages to avoid him or gets taken away from him.
