Don't you DARE bad mouth Fozzie! I will cut you!
He looks very much like a teddy bear.

^ ^ I'm not badmouthing him/her, I'm saying he/she doesn't look much like a bear.
^ Only very vaguely. Besides, teddy bears are more about bears being endearing than them being funny. Baloo is a case of Beary Funny, whlie teddy bears (and the frequent use of bears as an animal in pleasant but non-comedic contexts in kids' stories) are more along the lines of an inversion of Bears Are Bad News.

In uffish thought
Having never seen The Muppet Show, I think it looks very like a (teddy) bear and on a page about bears it's reasonable to expect people will make the obvious connection. Teddy bears are more commonly done as endearing, yes, but this one's pose and expression are clearly funny.
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.
Hi
This is one JABAAC that is fine. The only improvement I could suggest would be to have Fozzy on stage doing something.
No, the other one.
It's a bear. Who is it? (Well, I've read thread, so now I know...)
Check out my fanfiction!
Sharknado Warning
I'm fine with Fozzie. He's clearly a (teddy) bear and is making a funny expression.
I would be careful calling this JAFAAC. True, its just Fozzie, but he's a teddy bear muppet, which the trope page says is a major basis for the trope itself, and he's making a funny, playful expression, which is what the trope is about. Let's also keep in mind that Fast Eddie said that JAFAAC is not grounds for pulls anymore unless they're actively harming the trope page. In this case, he illustrates it perfectly, even if there's only him in the picture, so I oppose any pull.
The suggestion is to replace it with Baloo, not pull without replacement.

. Fozzie looks way more than "vaguely" like that. You might have a point that teddy bears don't look like wild bears, but that doesn't seem very important.

Hi
Clock is set.
Hi
Clock's up; locking for inactivity. Consensus in the thread is to keep the pic, so I'll tag the page accordingly. Locking up.
That "bear" hardly even looks like a bear at all. The Jungle Book's Baloo would be better.
Here is his song.
Here is his dancing/singing part in King Louie's song.
