* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: One of the bears friends is Charlie (voiced by Creator/JasonLee), a friendly but also socially awkward Sasquatch who lives in the forest and is afraid of being discovered by humans, there was also an episode with a considerably bigger {{Jerkass}} Yeti named “Ralph” (voiced by Creator/JohnDiMaggio).

** Ralph, a Yeti, is bigger and meaner than Charlie, a Bigfoot. Accordinging to folklore, Yetis are larger and more aggressive than Bigfeet.

* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: In Latin America, the bears are named Pardo (brown[[note]]Although that is the common name for the grizzly[[/note]]), Panda, and Polar.

* PunBasedTitle: In Latin America, the show is named ''Escandalosos'', which literally means "scandalous males". It's

also a pun because it combines the words "escandalo" (scandal) and "osos" (bears).

* RealityEnsues:
** During the basketball game in "Our Stuff", Ice Bear distracts the opposing player with fancy dribbling skills ala ''WesternAnimation/TheHarlemGlobetrotters''; the opposing player simply steals the ball away.
** In "Food Truck", Ice Bear builds a food truck so the bears can sell his calzones but by the end of the episode the park ranger gives the bears a ticket for selling food without a permit and driving an unregistered truck (not to mention feeding the other animals at the park).
** In "Burrito", after spending several days with it without eating it, Grizzly's burrito eventually goes bad and smells.
** "Primal" is kicked off by Grizzly taking Panda and Ice Bear into the woods, deliberately getting themselves lost to "be one with nature". This results in the bears getting attacked by ants, and Panda and Ice Bear nearly starving because Grizz can't pull up any fish in a polluted lake.
** "Nom Nom" shows the drawbacks of being TheQuietOne. After falling into a PitTrap dug by Nom Nom, Ice Bear fails to get someone's attention because he used his calm voice to call for help rather than yelling.
** In "Chloe" the teacher scolds Chloe about the bears' awful presentation and it nearly drives her to tears. Chloe may be smart enough to get into college, but she's still just a little girl.
** In "Panda's Daydream", Panda is waiting in line at the video game store when the guy in front of him lets his friend cut in line in front of Panda. After several [[ImagineSpot Imagine Spots]] of confronting the line cutter, Panda ultimately does nothing.
** When the bears visit the doctor in "Bear Cleanse", their physical exam had shown their health is in poor condition as result of eating only human foods throughout the series. The doctor has to put them on a diet of what their species naturally eat in order to improve their health.
** Also from "Bear Cleanse", Ice Bear has the most difficult time trying to follow his diet, because seal meat is hard to come by, so he steals a live seal from the zoo. After he spends about half of the episode preparing to eat it, he ends up growing attached to the seal (he never even tries to kill the poor thing[[note]]though, considering how adorable it is, who would even want to?[[/note]]), but by then the seal is dying of dehydration and Ice Bear is forced to return it to the sea.
** In "The Perfect Tree", Grizzly simply throws the Christmas lights onto the Parks' house expecting them to somehow elaborately decorate the whole house like in cartoons. The lights just end up hanging on the roof of the front door.
** In "Bro Brawl", during the cooking competition, the judge says that Ice Bear and Issac's dishes are both amazing and was about to declare a tie until he found a strand of Ice Bear's fur in the food, so he declares Issac's dish the winner. Considering that Ice Bear is entirely covered in fur and he doesn't wear anything to prevent his fur from falling into the food, this was bound to happen sooner or later and it's quite surprising that no one noticed this until now.
** At the end of "Anger Management", Nom Nom terminates Grizzly's role as his personal anger management partner, saying that he's rich and famous and will figure something out himself. Come "Vacation", he's so stressed out by his lifestyle, it's literally killing him. Apparently, just because his emotions are tamed doesn't mean he'll stay mentally healthy. He still has other issues to deal with and still needs support and therapy more than he thinks.
** "Googs" has the bears winning a competition and a tour of the titular company, where they are shown a presentation on virtual reality headsets upon entering. After seemingly taking off the headsets, they go through a series of events that leads to Panda's death from being shot into the sun inside a rocket ship, much to his brothers' horror. Then it's revealed they didn't actually take the virtual reality headsets off, revealing that [[AllJustADream it was just another simulation]] that the company's owner claims it's for "research" and innocently asks if it was entertaining for them. [[DudeNotFunny Instead of being relieved, the bears are not amused by this at all]], having found the experience to be traumatic and sincerely thought everything was real, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere deciding not to continue with the real tour]].

* ArtEvolution: The character designs become rounder and more solidified over the course of the series. The bears in particular are drawn more consistently in their animation.

It follows the adventures of three brothers, Grizzly, Panda and Ice Bear, as they attempt to integrate themselves into the norms of human society in the San Francisco Bay Area. These brothers also happen to be a bunch of cave-dwelling, [[TalkingAnimal talking bears]]. [[HilarityEnsues They do a pretty terrible job of it]]. Occasionally the show breaks from the usual hijinks to have episodes about [[WholeEpisodeFlashback the trio as bear cubs]], traveling the world in search of a place to call home in a format that more closely resembles the original webcomic.

** In "Beehive", it is pointed out honeybees die after they sting, since their stingers get ripped off and cause extreme damage to their exoskeletons. [[spoiler:It's also how Tabes gets the bears to snap out of their mind control .]]from the bees

''We Bare Bears'' is a Creator/CartoonNetwork original created by former {{Creator/Pixar}} story artist Daniel Chong (''WesternAnimation/{{Cars 2}}'', ''WesternAnimation/InsideOut''), adapted from Chong's [[http://thethreebarebears.blogspot.com/ webcomic]] ''The Three Bare Bears''.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Surprisingly very little, for a CN show.
** In "Chloe", when the bears are stacked and waiting at a metro, a man looking at his phone accidentally walks into Panda and his face bumps Panda's[[AssShove ...um...]]and Panda is seen visibly embarrassed and blushing.
** In "Food Truck," after earning a lot of money from the wildlife animals buying their calzones, Grizz decides to "make it rain" money on a dancing Panda (context: "making it rain" is something often done to strippers at strip clubs). The background song to that scene is "Calzone in my Mouth".
** In "Nom Nom", Nom Nom excessively drinking "Eucalyptus Juice" is an obvious metaphor for alcoholism.
** The frequent use of the word "dingle" can easily be replaced with a similar sounding insult.
** In "The Library", Ice Bear apparently checked out a book on photography of the Arctic. When asked why it was overdue, he sheepishly claims "Ice Bear lost that." Given the way he hesitates, there [[PoorMansPorn may have been another reason it was late]].
** In "Planet Bears", a literal example occurs when Grizzly needs to [[PottyEmergency answer nature's call (using the store's restroom)]], he tries to open the code-locked door using a forklift and HilarityEnsues when he takes it on an impromptu joy ride and it ends up backing into a shelf.
-->'''Guard''': You are in big trouble, mister! Guess you won't have time to go to the bathroom!
-->'''Grizzly''': ''(shameful)'' It's okay, [[BringMyBrownPants I don't think I need to go anymore]].
-->'''Narrator''': Humans and animals alike both have a parasympathetic nervous system...
-->'''Guard''': [[OhCrap Whoa, what the-]]
-->'''Narrator''': ...relaxing tense muscles in preparation for action. Shame: a feeling shared by all species.
** In "El Oso: Blue Eye Ramon calls El Oso as "hijo de pistola" which translates as "son of gun".
** Grizzly filmed a steamy shower scene complete with porn music for his movie in "Crowbar Jones".
-->'''Grizzly''': ''(to a leaving family of ducks)'' Wait. I-I swear [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids this is a family film]].
** Panda owns a dakimakura of an anime girl which he calls "Miki-chan."
