History YMMV / TeddyBear

*** This one is often followed by "We open the eyes of the unbelievers with X!", following the rest of the tirade given by Ochucki

** We don't have your coat, sir, and what you gonna do about it, eh?[[labelnote:Explanation]]After [[ComplexityAddiction deliberately setting his coat to be taken by someone else]], Ochucki argues with the two cloakroom attendants, who are trying to give him some other coat just to get rid of him. Eventually, they decide to just throw Ochucki out, dropping the line. Ever since, it's been used for situations when people get caught red-handed doing something bad, but the culprits are perfectly aware that people are powerless to punish them in any way.[[/labelnote]]

** War is coming. There was X ("coal" in the original) before war, too.[[labelnote:Explanation]]An elderly lady laments over finally having delivery of coal to fuel her stove, for this can only mean incoming war, as they were delivering coal back then. [[DontExplainTheJoke Keep in mind the film was made in 1980, 35 years after WW2 wrapped up, leaving her with no fuel to her stove for decades]].[[/labelnote]]

** There is no such city as London. (sometimes followed by "There is Lądek Zdrój.")[[labelnote:Explanation]]When Ochucki is trying to send a telex to London, only for the post office clerk declare there is no such place, before being corrected it's international and then blaming Ochucki for his lack of precision - became memetic for people that are ignorant and/or incompetent, but blame it on others. Once GPS navigation became a thing, it is also used to describe any situation where the machine plots a nonsensical path or declares obvious destination doesnt exist[[/labelnote]]

* FountainOfMemes: At least in its native Poland. Entire dialogues entered colloquial Polish and on top of that, variety of scenes became meme templates and reaction macros once internet became a thing. It is a meme by itself that despite the change of system and the politicians in it, ''Miś'' is still applicable with its absurdities. Some more prominent ones:
** Uncle Good Advice[[labelnote:Explanation]]From a fictional character from an in-universe TV series aimed at children, where a police officer is giving unhelpful and useless advice to a group of little children. Ever since anyone who offers useless or just trivial advice in Poland is thus labelled as "Wujek Dobra Rada".[[/labelnote]]

** There is no such city as London. (sometimes followed by "There is Lądek Zdrój.")[[labelnote:Explanation]]When Ochucki is trying to send a telex to London, only for the post office clerk declare there is no such place, before being corrected it's international and then blaming Ochucki for his lack of precision - became memetic for people that are ignorant and/or incompetent, but blame it on others. Once GPS navigation became a thing, it is also used to describe any situation where the machine plots a nonsensical path or declares obvious destination as non-existing[[/labelnote]]

** What you don't understand?[[labelnote:Explanation]]This one makes more sense in original Polish than in translation. Ochucki spends extensive effort to explain the elaborate reason on to why he is even building the straw bear - the scene runs for three minutes - after which he asks Hochwander which part he doesn't understand. Therefore, any elaborate, yet completely nonsensical plan by any given politician is usually summed up and then the infamous line is used as a punchline[[/labelnote]]. The shot from the scene is usually used for internet memes, always with the punchline.
** Red (as in - ginger-red) hooch on mice[[labelnote:Explanation]]The way how Staszek describes to his fellow carters what whiskey is. Became both synonymous with whiskey in general and, more specifically, to describe a shitty one, given he complains about the massive hangover and terrible taste[[/labelnote]]
** Mother sits in a back (of the car)[[labelnote:Explanation]]When a traffic cop tries to lecture a driver he stopped on a phony charges, he starts to deliver a lengthy speech about the driver's mother crossing the street, only to be cut short by the driver. Became a way to dispel any given bullshit story someone tries to tell you or a defense against whataboutism[[/labelnote]]

** Łubu dubu, łubu dubu... - just a random case of SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud.

** This X ("teddy bear" in original) is up to scale to our capabilities[[labelnote:Explanation]]When the nonsensical, usually politically-motivated project is clearly designed to drain public funds or delivers small scale and insignificant results - and usually both[[/labelnote]]

** There is no such city as London. (sometimes followed by "There is Lądek Zdrój.")[[labelnote:Explanation]]When Ochocki is trying to send a telex to London, only for the post office clerk declare there is no such place, before being corrected it's international and then blaming Ochocki for his lack of precision - became memetic for people that are ignorant and/or incompetent, but blame it on others ''and'' once GPS navigation became a thing, to describe any situation where the machine plots a nonsensical path or declares obvious destination as non-existing[[/labelnote]]
