History WebAnimation / BarryTales

** Autumn, in [[spoiler:episode 23]], slips up and calls [[spoiler: Barry "baby"]]. For context, [[spoiler:Autumn was dating Grizzly (Barry's best friend), but started to relapse into [[ReallyGetsAround her old self]] after developing a secret inner desire to sleep with Barry, Pandora's boyfriend. [[LoveTriangle Keep in mind that Pandora is]] ''[[ExaggeratedTrope Autumn's best friend]]''. When Barry is hospitalized, all three of his aforementioned friends check on him, and Autumn can barely keep it together during the conversation, eventually resulting in the above slip-up.]]

** When one of the Beta Eta Alpha Rho rushees gets his head shaved, the other rushees poke fun at him. When one of the others says that he looks like "Stage 4 of Hodgkin's Lymphoma", everyone is quick to chew out the offender for it.
* EverybodyKnewAlready: Apparently, Barry thought that only his friends knew of [[spoiler:his breakup with Pandora]]. Bearagamo tells him that the whole school knows when he sees Barry [[spoiler:depressed at a bar and [[DrowningMySorrows drinking]] [[DrunkOnMilk apple juice]]]]. However, everyone else only found out because [[TheStoolPigeon Lea Official]] managed to catch wind of this.

* NoodleIncident: According to Episode 14, Barry's mother has been in prison and her appeal is still pending, however, we don't know as to what led to her being there.

* NWordPrivileges: So far, mostly brown bears can say "migga"
* PreviouslyOn: Usually courtesy of Pops. If there is a considerable gap in between two episodes, the "previously on" line will lampshade this by ending with "'cause we've been gone for a while...". For each scene shown in the following montage, Pops gives a short, humorous recap, referring to the character the scene focused on as "This migga" or whatever word best describes them.

** There is a character on the show, [[spoiler:Bearquan]], who can literally laugh himself to death, often preceded by him saying "I'm so dead!" This usually ends in a SmashCut to his funeral. The basketball coach tells Barry that he actually does this at some point every time they practice.

** Barry being referred to as BP, his initials, much to his annoyance. This usually results in an explanation that a lot of people would mistake the initials BP for something homosexual-related or otherwise off-color, complete with at least one example.
** Barry being referred to as a "honey-glazed ass migga".

** In episode 30, Barry's cousin tries to sell Barry his mixtape while [[spoiler:visiting him at the hospital]]. Barry cuts him off from doing so.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Early into Episode 1, the show stops for a moment to introduce a pair of female twins that were on the bus to Bearhouse College as the Maple Twins as soon as they walk off the bus. [[RedHerring This is the extent of their importance in the show]], and they have only been in cameos since then.

* ActionGirl: One of the main characters, Pandora, usually displays a great amount of physical strength and is well-versed in martial arts. [[spoiler: In Episode 4 she easily knocks out Yogi Bear, who is twice her size.]]
** Not to mention that [[spoiler: her father is Po from ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda''.]]
* TheAlcoholic: There is one student hoping to pledge as a Beta Eta Alpha Rho frat brother that has a ''serious'' drinking problem. How bad is it? [[spoiler: When the fraternity cuts off his access to alcoholic beverages, he tries to drink ''rubbing alcohol'' as an alternative.]]

* BerserkButton: Sunshine is not too keen on being called by any other name.
-->'''Sunshine''' ''(to Grizzly)'': "It's motherfucking SUNSHINE Bear, you got that?!"
** As Autumn and Specs find out, don't have sex in Pandora's bed. The same scene also established that Pandora does not like being called a bitch.
* ButtMonkey:
** In the later part of the show, Specs becomes this. [[spoiler: He loses both Bearnisha and Autumn, gets beaten up by Pandora, gets his soul literally punched out of his chest, and contracts Bear-AIDS and spends a week over-emotional as a result of taking the cure for it. And for his stalking of Autumn after the breakup he is nearly expelled and has to graduate a year later than expected. And for deliberately ticking off Grizzly, he gets punched in the face, but that starts a fight that ends with [[KarmaHoudini Grizzly going to jail]]. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking He is also left out of the main events of the Season 3 finale]], only appearing in TheStinger to complain about it.]]
*** LaserGuidedKarma: Though literally ''all'' of this is a direct result of [[{{Jerkass}} his own actions]].
** Bearagamo counts as well. [[spoiler:He is constantly rejected by Autumn and Pandora, gets literally thrown out of the Beta Eta Alpha Rho frat house after breaking in and asking if they were hiring [[note]] Frat brother hopefuls do not get the chance to be hired, they get the chance to ''pledge'' [[/note]], gets robbed by Paddington Bear [[LaserGuidedKarma sometime after robbing him before]], gets kicked out of his uncle's house during the freshman summer (in the same way as he was with the frat house earlier) after wrecking the house by throwing a party ([[BlatantLies which he promised not to do]]), winds up owing money to Baloo, finds out that Baloo ordered a hit on him as a result, and is abandoned by Loud, who promised to protect him from a would-be assassin while he continued to pay off his debt, the moment Loud realizes that he gets nothing out of helping him.]]
* CampGay: Sunshine, by ''far''.

--> '''Dean Bearhug''': ''(when told by Barry that he and his roommate were not smoking weed)'' "Then why are your eyes 'gangbanging'? I believe 'suwoop' is the term."
* DeanBitterman: Dean Bearhug, the dean of Bearhouse College.

* TheDreaded: Baloo. According to what Barry said in Episode 10, he ripped someone's tongue through their anus for ratting him out to the feds.

* ExperimentedInCollege: Autumn, apparently. Though this probably happened ''before'' college.
--> '''Autumn''': I tried it once, but after all the kissing, licking, and grinding, you're sitting there like..."Where's the beef?".

* GamerGirl: Bearnisha, according to one episode.

* HairTriggerTemper: It doesn't take much to tick off Claude, as he himself will attest to. If he's particularly angry, he'll even let out a MightyRoar.
* HasTwoMommies: [[spoiler: Specs has two dads, according to episode 11. He cares about them (or at least the one that looks like him), but he has been a bit distant from them because of their sexual orientation. This is the implied reason [[{{Jerkass}} Specs acts]] [[TheCasanova the way he does]]...not that it ''excuses'' his behavior.]]

* HiddenDepths: Autumn, as we find out, has a really beautiful singing voice.
** Loud, as we find out, is also smarter than he lets on.

* {{Meganekko}}: Bearnisha.
* MissingMom: As we find out in Episode 14, Barry's mother is in prison, however, we don't find out what led to her being put there, just that her appeal is still pending. [[spoiler:She is released from prison in episode 30.]]
* MixedAncestry: Though never mentioned in the series itself, Pandora is actually biracial; it's obvious that she's part panda, but at least one other part of her is brown bear. This would explain why no one bats an eye whenever she uses the word [[NWordPrivileges "migga"]].
* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling / SpiderSense: Claude has a "bitch-migga" sense that allows him to sense when those that fit the category are around. So far, this has been shown to go off around those that rubbed him the wrong way (like Barry in episodes 2, 5, and 6) [[labelnote:Explanation]] Barry [[DisproportionateRetribution accidentally stepped on Claude's shoe]] while walking by in episode 1, and also [[spoiler:[[TheStoolPigeon told the cops that they should probably talk to Specs]] when Autumn is found unconscious at a frat party]]. [[/labelnote]], whenever a school rival shows up causing trouble in Bearhouse (like Brother Bear in episode 8) [[labelnote:Explanation]] Brother Bear, who attended Saint Bearstein [[spoiler: at the time]], was trying to knock out Paul for [[spoiler: starring in a porn movie with his sister]].[[/labelnote]], and those that have likely went behind his back (like [[spoiler: Specs]] in episode 16) [[labelnote:Explanation]] Claude thought [[spoiler:Specs]] had been trying to [[spoiler:sleep with Bearnisha, his girlfriend, [[WrongAssumption although it was actually the other way around]]...at least at the time]][[/labelnote]].
* NiceGuy: As much as he tries to act like he's not, Barry is this. When Autumn was [[spoiler: knocked out at the frat party in Specs' room]], he was the one who called the police. He also called Pandora to see if Autumn was okay afterward.

* NoYouHangUpFirst: [[spoiler: Autumn and Grizzly do this in episode 21.]]
* NWordPrivileges: Subverted when Paul Snow (a polar bear) gets ridiculed for saying "migga" [[note]] A slightly-edited version of the word "nigga".[[/note]] in episode 5.
** Not to mention the fact that he tries to cover it up by deliberately saying the real-life variant.
* [[OneHitKill One-Hit KO]]: Claude has quite the powerful punches, and is pretty fond of dishing these out to those that tick him off. So far, he's knocked out [[spoiler: Barry]] in episode 6, ''literally'' knocked a disrespectful party-goer into the middle of next week in episode 7 ([[spoiler:and ''that'' was a flashback to just before Claude knocked out Barry]]), knocked the clothes off a particularly uncooperative rushee in episode 18, and knocked [[spoiler: the ''soul'' out of ''[[BloodBrothers Specs]]'']] in episode 20.
** Pandora is also more than capable of one-hitter quitters. Just ask [[spoiler: Specs]]. And [[spoiler: Yogi Bear]] (although she popped him twice, he was already done when she started swinging).
* ParentalAbandonment: Apparently, as implied by a couple of episodes, Autumn's parents have died. [[spoiler:According to episode 24, they died en-route to her singing recital]].
* PregnancyScare: [[spoiler:Pandora in Episode 11. We find out that she isn't pregnant]].

* RealityEnsues: Turns out, if you regularly sleep around with multiple people without protection, you put yourself at great risk to get a sexually-transmitted disease, [[spoiler: as Specs finds out when he contracts Bear-AIDS. Luckily for him, in this universe there's a cure for it]].
* ReallyGetsAround: Autumn, [[spoiler: who comes from a family of whores (said line starting with her great-great-great-great-grandmother). [[CharacterDevelopment Although she remains faithful later on in the series]]...[[OffTheWagon but she has started to relapse into wanting sex from more than one guy by Episode 22]]]].
** Bearnisha fits this as well. [[spoiler: Although, save for a period when she wanted to sleep with Specs one more time, she appears to be more-or-less faithful to Claude.]]
** Specs and Grizzly as well, though Grizzly doesn't get as much as he likes to say he does.
* {{Revenge}}: In Episode 17, [[spoiler: Grizzly and his cousin go to get revenge against the cop who killed one of their family members.]]
** Subverted as [[spoiler: Grizzly changes his mind and decides against killing the cop. But it doesn't stop him from getting his revenge in a less-lethal manner.]]
-->[[spoiler: '''Loud:''' "So you're not gonna shoot him?"]]
-->[[spoiler: '''Grizzly:''' "Nah, I ain't gon' shoot him. But I am gonna pistol whip the shit out of him!"]]

* SchoolSavedMyLife: Grizzly is attending Bearhouse College in order to better himself and get out of the "trap".

* SingleTear: Grizzly when he finds out [[spoiler:his cousin was shot by the police]].

*** [[spoiler: Pandora received unwanted sexual advances from Mr. Ruxpin, her history teacher, during the freshman year. In retaliation for Pandora rejecting his advances, [[DisproportionateRetribution he lowered her final exam score a whooping]] ''[[DisproportionateRetribution 24 points]]'', which would have put her Honor Society status in jeopardy. When Pandora confronted him about it, he ultimately [[SexualExtortion gave her one last chance to sleep with him, so that he will record her actual grade]]. Mr. Ruxpin records her real grade when Pandora then revealed that [[CaughtOnTape she had been recording their current conversation on her phone]]. She eventually tells Barry, by this point her boyfriend, during the sophomore year. Speaking of which...]]

* TheStoner: Paul Snow and, as we find out, his mother.
** Even more so with Loud, so much so that he can actually ''fly''. Likewise, so are a few more of his and Grizzly's relatives.
*** Paul and Loud even wind up [[spoiler:owning and running a marijuana shop called the Dope Spot]].
* TheStoolPigeon: Barry has no problem with ratting out people he doesn't like.
-->'''Police officer:''' "You damn snitch."[softreturn]
-->'''Barry:''' "You damn right."
** Also, Lea Official. She blogs about the latest, juiciest, often dirtiest secrets within Bearhouse College that she catches wind of.
* StupidSexyFlanders: [[spoiler:After seeing [[WhatBeautifulEyes Specs' eyes]] just before going to summer vacation, Claude actually asks Specs to put his shades back on because he was initially going to give him a hug, but opted out of it because he felt gay for a moment.]]
* TokenWhite: Of Barry's friends, and possibly Bearhouse's student body as a whole, Paul Snow is the only polar bear.
* UnnamedParent: Even in the opening credits, Barry's dad is just called "Pops". Likewise, Barry's mother isn't named, just called "Mama".
* WhatBeautifulEyes: [[spoiler:Specs. It was the main reason he wore shades, as he didn't want anyone to think he was gay because of them. He first showed them to Autumn in the Season 1 finale, when she was upset about him cheating on her with Bearnisha. This resulted in her taking him back...[[YourCheatingHeart until he cheated on her once again with Bearnisha]]. And ''that'' happened in part because Specs decided to ditch the shades entirely afterwards, which resulted in Bearnisha seeing his eyes and unable to stop frequently getting wet until he slept with her again.]]

** [[spoiler:Mr. Ruxpin. See Hot for Student down below.]]

* HotForStudent: Well, not so much romance, but in Episode 4 Barry calls Grizzly while he's [[CoitusEnsues occupied with a professor in a supply closet]].
--> '''Grizzly''': ''(whispering to his teacher)'' [[SextraCredit "Now you're gonna be a good professor and change that grade, right?"]]
** [[AbhorrentAdmirer On the other hand...]]
*** [[spoiler: Pandora received unwanted sexual advances from Mr. Ruxpin, her history teacher, during the freshman year. In retaliation for Pandora rejecting his advances, [[DisproportionateRetribution he lowered her final exam score a whooping]] ''[[DisproportionateRetribution 24 points]]'', which would have put her Honor Society status in jeopardy. When Pandora confronted him about it, he ultimately [[SexualExtortion gave her one last chance to sleep with him, so that he will record her actual grade]]. Mr. Ruxpin records her real grade when Pandora then revealed that [[CaughtOnTape she had been recording their current conversation on her phone]]. She eventually tells Barry, by this point her boyfriend, during the sophomore year. Speaking of which...]]
*** [[spoiler: Barry started receiving unwanted sexual advances from Ms. Fields, one of his professors, during the sophomore year after she found out [[GoldDigger he was on the basketball team]]. She decided to set up a "meeting" to [[DoubleEntendre "get the D up"]] when Dean Bearhug approached the two out of suspicion that ''[[WrongAssumption Barry]]'' [[WrongAssumption was attempting to sleep with Ms. Fields]]. When the dean left, Ms. Fields [[SexualExtortion threatened to actually give Barry a D if he did not show up]]. When Barry avoided her, she waited for him in the showers after the basketball team's next game. She slipped on a bar of soap before anything happened, knocking herself out. So far, there's no word on whether or not the situation was handled, and [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse Ms. Fields has not shown up since]]. Also, Barry never told Pandora about Ms. Fields, even though Pandora told him about Mr. Ruxpin, so it also could've been a matter of time before this came back to bite Barry...if they were still together.]]

* HasTwoMommies: [[spoiler: Specs has two dads, according to episode 11. He cares about them (or at least the one that looks like him), but he has been a bit distant from them because of their sexual orientation. This is the implied reason [[{{Jerk}} Specs acts]] [[TheCasanova the way he does]]...not that it ''excuses'' his behavior.]]

* OneHitKO: Claude has quite the powerful punches, and is pretty fond of dishing these out to those that tick him off. So far, he's knocked out [[spoiler: Barry]] in episode 6, ''literally'' knocked a disrespectful party-goer into the middle of next week in episode 7 ([[spoiler:and ''that'' was a flashback to just before Claude knocked out Barry]]), knocked the clothes off a particularly uncooperative rushee in episode 18, and knocked [[spoiler: the ''[[UpToEleven soul]]'' out of ''[[BloodBrothers Specs]]'']] in episode 20.

** Barry when [[spoiler:Pandora transfers to another college and ends their relationship]].

* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling / SpiderSense: Claude has a "bitch-migga" sense that allows him to sense when those that fit the category are around. So far, this has been shown to go off around those that rubbed him the wrong way (like Barry in episodes 2, 5, and 6) [[labelnote:Explanation]] Barry [[DisproportionateRetribution accidentally stepped on Claude's shoe]] while walking by in episode 1, and also [[spoiler:[[TheStoolPigeon told the cops that they should probably talk to Specs]] when Autumn is found unconscious at a frat party]]. [[/labelnote]], whenever a school rival shows up causing trouble in Bearhouse (like Brother Bear in episode 8) [[labelnote:Explanation]] Brother Bear, who attended Saint Bearstein [[spoiler: at the time]], was trying to knock out Paul for [[spoiler: starring in a porn movie with his sister]].[[/labelnote]], and those that have likely went behind his back (like [[spoiler: Specs]] in episode 16) [[labelnote:Explanation]] Claude though [[spoiler:Specs]] had been trying to [[spoiler:sleep with Bearnisha, his girlfriend, [[WrongAssumption although it was actually the other way around]]...at least at the time]][[/labelnote]].

[[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking He is also left out of the main events of the Season 3 finale]], only appearing in TheStinger to complain about it.]]

* CampGay: Sunshine, by ''far.''

* EverybodyKnewAlready: Apparently, Barry thought that only his friends knew of his [[spoiler:former]] relationship with Pandora. Bearagamo tells him that everyone knew when he sees Barry [[spoiler:depressed at a bar and [[DrowningMySorrows drinking]] [[DrunkOnMilk apple juice]]. However, everyone else only found out recently because [[TheStoolPigeon Lea Official]] managed to catch wind of this]].

*** [[spoiler: Barry started receiving unwanted sexual advances from Ms. Fields, one of his professors, during the sophomore year after she found out [[GoldDigger he was on the basketball team]]. She decided to set up a "meeting" to [[DoubleEntendre "get the D up"]] when Dean Bearhug approached the two out of suspicion that ''[[WrongAssumption Barry]]'' [[WrongAssumption was attempting to sleep with Ms. Fields]].

Also, Barry never told Pandora about Ms. Fields, even though Pandora told him about Mr. Ruxpin, so it also could be a matter of time before this comes back to bite Barry.]]

* LimitedWardrobe: All of the characters wear the same clothes throughout the series.
** It was jokingly demonstrated when Barry gets ready to wear a new outfit, only to have it revert to his original outfit off screen.

* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling / SpiderSense: Claude has a "bitch-migga" sense that allows him to sense when those that fit the category are around. So far, this has been shown to go off around those that rubbed him the wrong way (like Barry in episodes 2, 5, and 6; Barry [[DisproportionateRetribution accidentally stepped on Claude's shoe]] while walking by in episode 1, and also [[spoiler:[[TheStoolPigeon told the cops that they should probably talk to Specs]] when Autumn is found unconscious at a frat party]]), whenever a school rival shows up causing trouble in Bearhouse (like Brother Bear in episode 8; Brother Bear, who attends Saint Bearstein [[spoiler: but winds up transferring to Bearhouse later]], was trying to knock out Paul for [[spoiler: starring in a porn movie with his sister]]), and those that have likely went behind his back (like [[spoiler: Specs]] in episode 16; [[spoiler: Claude though Specs had been trying to sleep with Bearnisha, his girlfriend, [[WrongAssumption although it was actually the other way around]]. [[TooDumbToLive Specs did eventually have a final-night stand with Bearnisha in episode 19]], [[OneHitKO and it costed him dearly.]]]]).

* PreviouslyOn: Courtesy of Pops. If there is a considerable gap in between two episodes, the "previously on" line will lampshade this by ending with "'cause we've been gone for a while...". For each scene shown in the following montage, Pops gives a short, humorous recap, referring to the character the scene focused on as "This migga" or whatever word best describes them.

** Kartoon Management's official website also has a small bio section for each of the noteworthy characters on the show, with their respective bear ages shown.

* DudeNotFunny: At a stand-up comedy gig, Fozzie Bear tells some knock-knock jokes that get the entire crowd laughing. The crowd instantly turns on him when he tries setting up a knock-knock joke with ''[[NeverSpeakIllOfTheDead Paul Walker]]'' as the subject, ''[[TooSoon less than a month after his death]]''.

* MixedAncestry: [[WordOfGod According to Lionel]], Pandora is actually biracial; it's obvious that she's part panda, but at least one other part of her is brown bear. This would explain why no one bats an eye whenever she uses the word [[NWordPrivileges "migga"]].

* ProductPlacement: InUniverse. Earl, the janitor [[spoiler: turned basketball coach]], hopelessly tries on numerous occasions to plug a mixtape he made. No one wants it, and it turns out that it is not even any good. [[spoiler:Earl eventually forces Barry to take a copy of his mixtape, but only after Earl [[SarcasmMode casually brings up]] that Barry could instead be [[DisproportionateRetribution staying on the bench during basketball games]].]]
** In episode 30, Barry's cousin tries to sell Barry his mixtape while [[spoiler:visiting him at the hospital]]. Barry cuts him off from doing so.

* SexyDiscretionShot: In Episode 30, a would-be sex scene involving [[spoiler:Grizzly and Autumn]] was replaced with [[spoiler:the back wall of Grizzly's jail cell]] and a song proclaiming that "there's sex going on in this room." Lionel informs his viewers that this is because of [[Website/YouTube YouTube]]'s new policy on content, meaning that any instances from now on will be treated in a similar manner.
* SingleTear: [[spoiler: Grizzly when he finds out his cousin was shot by the police]].
** [[spoiler: Barry at the end of Episode 29, when Pandora transfers to another college and ends their relationship.]]
* SituationalSexuality: As expected, the prison environment is this for some of the prisoners. Specifically, Buttrape Bear claims this to be the case for him during one of his appearances, and Pops is pretty much certain that Mama is in this situation. Pops thought it was wise to [[{{Main/Squick}} share this insight with Barry before he starts going off on a tangent about their sex life]].

''Barry Tales'' is an animated web series which premiered in 2013 and is created and produced by Lionel Richardson (known as Kartoon Managemnent) on [=YouTube=]. The show follows the life of the titular character Barry Ponds as he goes through his daily life as a college student at Bearhouse College. It can be viewed [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0h8_io8iuY&list=PLltfmd8bMmBplP1RoKG_JA1U7F1N_lvbU here.]]

** Not to mention that [[spoiler: her father is Po from WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda.]]

* ADayInTheLimelight: [[spoiler: Grizzly gets his own episode in Episode 9.]]
-->[[spoiler: '''Grizzly:''' Uh-oh! Grizzly Episode!]]

* HairTriggerTemper: It doesn't take much to tick off Claude, as he himself will attest to. If he's particularly angry, he'll even let out a MightyRoar.

* WhatBeautifulEyes: [[spoiler:Specs]]. It was the main reason [[spoiler:he wore shades]], as he didn't want anyone to think he was gay because of them. [[spoiler:He first showed them to Autumn in the Season 1 finale, when she was upset about him cheating on her with Bearnisha. This resulted in her taking him back...[[YourCheatingHeart until he cheated on her once again with Bearnisha]]. And ''that'' happened in part because Specs decided to ditch the shades entirely afterwards, which resulted in Bearnisha seeing his eyes and unable to stop frequently getting wet until he slept with her again.]]

* SoundEffectBleep: Starting with Episode 30, all instances of the F-word are bleeped out. This was apparently because of [[Website/YouTube YouTube]]'s new policy concerning content.

** It was implied by a couple of episodes that Autumn's parents have died but we don't know how.[[spoiler:..until episode 26.]]

* ParentalAbandonment: Apparently, as implied by a couple of episodes, Autumn's parents have died. [[spoiler:According to episode 26, they died en-route to her singing recital]].

* ExperimentedInCollege: Autumn, [[NoodleIncident apparently]]. Though this likely happened ''before'' college.

* MixedAncestry: [[WordOfGod According to Lionel]], Pandora is actually biracial; it's obvious that she's part panda, but at least one other part of her is either a brown or black bear. This would explain why no one bats an eye whenever she uses the word [[NWordPrivileges "migga"]].
* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling / SpiderSense: Claude has a "bitch-migga" sense that allows him to sense when those that fit the category are around. So far, this has been shown to go off around those that rubbed him the wrong way (like Barry in episodes 2,5, and 6; Barry [[DisproportionateRetribution accidentally stepped on Claude's shoe]] while walking by in episode 1, and also [[spoiler:[[TheStoolPigeon told the cops that they should probably talk to Specs]] when Autumn is found unconscious at a frat party]]), whenever a school rival shows up causing trouble in Bearhouse (like Brother Bear in episode 8; Brother Bear, who attends Saint Bearstein [[spoiler: but winds up transferring to Bearhouse later]], was trying to knock out Paul for [[spoiler: starring in a porn movie with his sister]]), and those that have likely went behind his back (like [[spoiler: Specs]] in episode 16; [[spoiler: Claude though Specs had been trying to sleep with Bearnisha, his girlfriend, [[WrongAssumption although it was actually the other way around]]. [[TooDumbToLive Specs did eventually have a final-night stand with Bearnisha in episode 19]], [[OneHitKO and it costed him dearly.]]]]).

* ReallyGetsAround: Autumn, [[spoiler: who comes from a family of whores (said line starting with her great-great-great-great-grandmother). [[CharacterDevelopment Although she remains faithful later on in the series]]...[[OffTheWagon but she has started to relapse into wanting sex from more than one guy by Episode 22.]]]]

* YouDidTheRightThing: In Episode 18, Barry told Grizzly that "Whatever happened with you, you didn't go through with it, meaning you're a good dude." Barry was having a hangover at the time, so he didn't know, and wasn't comprehending, that Grizzly was talking about [[spoiler:backing out on killing the cop that wrongfully killed Grizzly's cousin]].

* DrowningMySorrows: [[spoiler:Barry does this in episode 30, after Pandora decided to transfer to a different college and effectively ended their relationship. As it turns out, [[DrunkOnMilk it was actually apple juice]].]]

** As Autumn and Specs find out, don't have sex in Pandora's bed. The same scene also established that Pandora does not like being called a b*tch.

* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling / SpiderSense: Claude has a "b*tch-migga" sense that allows him to sense when those that fit the category are around. So far, this has been shown to go off around those that rubbed him the wrong way (like Barry in episodes 2,5, and 6; Barry [[DisproportionateRetribution accidentally stepped on Claude's shoe]] while walking by in episode 1, and also [[spoiler:[[TheStoolPigeon told the cops that they should probably talk to Specs]] when Autumn is found unconscious at a frat party]]), whenever a school rival shows up causing trouble in Bearhouse (like Brother Bear in episode 8; Brother Bear, who attends Saint Bearstein [[spoiler: but winds up transferring to Bearhouse later]], was trying to knock out Paul for [[spoiler: starring in a porn movie with his sister]]), and those that have likely went behind his back (like [[spoiler: Specs]] in episode 16; [[spoiler: Claude though Specs had been trying to sleep with Bearnisha, his girlfriend, [[WrongAssumption although it was actually the other way around]]. [[TooDumbToLive Specs did eventually have a final-night stand with Bearnisha in episode 19]], [[OneHitKO and it costed him dearly.]]]]).

* ProportionalAging: In one episode, Barry says that he is six years old. While that may seem to you that this is ''way'' to young to be a typical college student, that's only because you are thinking in human years. Bears don't live quite as long as humans; a typical bear year is 2 human years. In human years, a bear can live to be in their 30's (especially in captivity), an equivalent to a human being in their 60's.

** There is a polar bear professor that occasionally explains something pertaining to how brown/black bears operate in this universe. Each time he does, he says something that would not sit well with a brown/black bear. This results in Bearagamo preparing to beat him up, with the professor giving a BigNo, before the scene cuts to something else.
** [[CampGay Sunshine]] being "unprofessional as f*ck."

** Kartoon Management's official website also has a small bio section for each of the noteworthy character on the show, with their respective bear ages shown.

For context, [[spoiler:Autumn was dating Grizzly, but started to relapse into [[ReallyGetsAround her old self]] after developing a secret inner desire to sleep with Barry, [[BestFriend Pandora]]'s boyfriend. When Barry is hospitalized, all three of his aforementioned friends check on him, and Autumn can barely keep it together during the conversation.]]

* PregnancyScare: Pandora in [[spoiler: Episode 11. We find out that she isn't pregnant]].

** In episode 30, Barry's cousin tries to sell Barry his mixtape [[spoiler:at the hospital]]. Barry cuts him off from doing so.
* PunnyName / ADogNamedDog: Besides names like Paul and Autumn (to name a few), most of the first names of characters have "bear" or have bear references in them. Two examples would be Pandora (a panda with the name of a character from Greek mythology) and Bearnisha (some specimen of bear who can be stereotypically ghetto). For the most part, if the character's first name is not some sort of bear reference, the last name is. An example would be Paul, a polar bear, whose last name is Snow.

** There is a polar bear professor that occasionally explains something pertaining to how brown/black bears operate in this universe. Each time he does, he says something that would not sit well with a brown/black bear, be it offensive or insulting. This results in Bearagamo preparing to beat him up, with the professor giving a BigNo, before the scene cuts to something else.

** Also, Lea Official. She blogs about the latest, often dirtiest secrets within Bearhouse College that she catches wind of.

* ShoutOut: There are quite a lot:
** There are multiple [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed "cameo" appearances]] from famous bear-celebrities, often as more flanderized versions of themselves:
*** Film/{{Ted}}, as an obnoxious moviegoer. [[spoiler:Barry winds up killing him for his troubles]].
*** Literature/WinnieThePooh, as a gay hobo.
*** Literature/PaddingtonBear, as a tourist who [[spoiler:gets robbed by Bearagamo before returning the favor later]].
*** [[Literature/TheBerenstainBears Brother and Sister Berenstain]], as Saint Bearstein college students. Also, Brother is a basketball star [[spoiler:that winds up transferring to Bearhouse College]] while Sister is [[spoiler:a rising porn star that made her name by making a video with Paul]].
*** [[WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfTeddyRuxpin Teddy Ruxpin]], as a [[spoiler:perverted]] history teacher.
*** [[Disney/TheJungleBook Bal]][[WesternAnimation/TaleSpin oo]], as a powerful drug lord.
*** [[WesternAnimation/YogiBear Yogi Bear and Boo-Boo Bear]], more-or-less as themselves. [[spoiler:This earns Yogi a beat-down from Pandora]].
*** [[Series/TheMuppetShow Fozzie Bear]], as a relatively more successful stand-up comedian. Emphasis on "relatively", not so much "successful".
*** [[WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda Po]], who is still the Dragon Warrior. [[spoiler:He's also Pandora's father, and he trained her well]].
*** The Coca-Cola Bear, here nicknamed CC, as a [[BiTheWay bi]][[{{Pun}} polar]] celebrity.
*** Smokey Bear, who is still a walking advertisement for the prevention of tree fires. [[spoiler:As it turns out, it's only his job. He smokes weed regularly, and serving jail time did not change his opinion on it.]]
*** A family of three bears (a father, mother, and son) appear on the news to prove that humans exist. The father tells the news reporter that [[{{Literature/Goldilocks}} a female human went into their house, ate their porridge, and went to sleep in the son's room]]. [[CassandraTruth The news reporter is not convinced]].
*** In this universe, the slang word for homosexual is [[Franchise/CareBears Care Bear]], and most are [[ChestInsignia just as easy]] [[AmazingTechnicolorWildlife to spot]] as you would think. In fact, Sunshine, the Resident Assistant, is essentially a modernized college student {{Expy}} of Funshine Bear.
** [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed The same]] applies to bear versions of RealLife celebrities and non-bear fictional characters:
*** Music/{{Drake}}, who [[spoiler:turns out to be a Care Bear]].
*** Music/ChrisBrown, who hosted a concert with Drake. [[spoiler:Buttrape Bear apparently met him in prison.]]
*** The hip-hop trio Migos also hosted a concert.
*** Plies posts a video on social media using the concept of taxes as [[UnusualEuphemism Unusual Euphemisms]].
*** Creator/KevinHart, who engages in a feud with Fozzie Bear.
*** Music/KanyeWest, who [[spoiler:is associated with Pops]].
*** President UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump has his inauguration, and he makes sure to rub it in to Hillary Clinton.
*** Steve Harvey, as the host of ''Series/FamilyFeud'', just as he is currently.
*** Uncle Bill, an {{Expy}} of Uncle Phil from ''Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir'', appears as [[spoiler:Bearagamo]]'s uncle. He winds up throwing [[spoiler: Bearagamo]] out of the house during summer vacation, as a reference to many an instance in the show where Jazz gets thrown out. In fact, the entire scene with Uncle Bill plays out like an opening scene from said show, complete with credits and a LaughTrack.
*** Earlier, [[spoiler:Bearagamo]] was thrown out of the Beta Eta Alpha Rho frat house in a similar manner.
*** [[{{Literature/It}} Penny]][[Film/It2017 wise]] appears when Barry drops his phone and it falls into a nearby sewer drain. This of course leads to Pennywise attempting to lure Barry close by telling Barry to take the phone, just like he did with Georgie and his paper boat. [[spoiler:Barry simply takes out his gun so that Pennywise would be forced to give the phone back.]]
** Grizzly has to steal a folder from an office secured by a digital lock puzzle. Just how does he manage to solve it? [[VideoGame/WatchDogs Take a wild guess...]]
** Episode 14 mentions ''Series/OrangeIsTheNewBlack''.
** The scene where Bearagamo calls Baloo to let him know that he's paid off his debt is an almost perfect recreation of the ending to ''{{Film/Friday}}''.
*** When Pandora knocks out [[spoiler: Yogi Bear]] in episode 4, she asks [[spoiler: Boo-Boo]] if he wanted some too. He responds by pointing both hands to Pandora and saying "No" in a matter-of-fact way. This exchange plays out very similarly to the exchange between Deebo and Red's father just after Deebo knocked out Red.
** Whenever Loud gets so high that he starts ''flying'', specifically whenever he flies away from the scene, he is accompanied with the first part of the ''[[Series/ReadingRainbow Reading Rainbow]]'' theme.
** Specs yells [[Franchise/StreetFighter "Shoryuken!"]] whenever he [[CallingYourOrgasms reaches the climax]].

** As Autumn and Specs find out, don't have sex in Pandora's bed.

*** Earlier, [[spoiler:Bearagamo]] was thrown out of the Beta Eta Alpha Rho frat house in a similar manner.

* EverybodyKnewAlready: Apparently, Barry thought that only his friends knew of his [[spoiler:former]] relationship with Pandora. Bearagamo tells him that everyone knew when he sees Barry [[spoiler:depressed at a bar and [[DrowningMySorrows drinking]] [[DrunkOnMilk apple juice]]]].

* OneHitKO: Claude has quite the powerful punches, and is pretty fond of dishing these out to those that tick him off. So far, he's knocked out [[spoiler: Barry]] in episode 6, ''literally'' knocked a disrespectful party-goer into the middle of next week in episode 7 ([[spoiler:and ''that'' was a flashback to just before Claude saw and knocked out Barry]]), knocked the clothes off a particularly uncooperative rushee in episode 18, and knocked [[spoiler: the ''soul'' out of ''[[BloodBrothers Specs]]'']] in episode 20.

*** [[{{Literature/It}} Penny]][[Film/It2017 wise]] appears when Barry drops his phone and it falls into a nearby sewer drain. This of course leads to Pennywise attempting to lure Barry close by telling Barry to take the phone, just like with Georgie and his paper boat. [[spoiler:Barry simply takes out his gun so that Pennywise would be forced to give the phone back.]]
