History YMMV / WeBareBears

** In one episode, the bears are playing an obvious parody of the UsefulNotes/{{Wii}}. Then, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHRonIfqswA a couple]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hKORbLaiAc of commercials]] with the bears for UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch were released. Clearly, these bears are {{Creator/Nintendo}} fans.

* {{Fanon}}: When drawing the bears as humans, [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/fb/1e/e7/fb1ee70f5ce2f9cbcdd196f17139cdc7.jpg it is common]] for Grizzly to be portrayed as African-American, Ice Bear as a Caucasian with pale hair and eyes, and Panda as East Asian. Considering the three are from America, Russia and China respectively, it falls nicely into PhenotypeStereotype.

* {{Narm}}: Demetri Martin's delivery is just a bit off during Ice Bear's spontaneous rap in "I Am Ice Bear". So when Ice Bear sings 'Hey baby girl, you look beautiful like bobba; I ain't trying to front, baby, let me come over' to a trio of a girls, his rhymes sound [[PrecisionFStrike a lot more naughty]] than they were probably intended to be. The fact that the girls quickly blush during his verse only helps to make the mind wander.

* EarWorm:
** The theme song.
** Some of the background music can count as well.
** "I'll Be Your Friend" from "Panda's Date".
** [[ShowWithinAShow The Corgis]]' theme song. No wonder Nom Nom snapped after being forced to listen to it for several takes.

* SugarWiki/SweetDreamsFuel: TheSeries. The whole show is just so good-natured and (mostly) innocent, with star characters who clearly love one another and [[IJustWantToHaveFriends want nothing more than to have friends]], that it's hard not to smile while watching it.

** The more the audience learns about Charlie's background, the more tragic his character starts to seem. Charlie is the mythical bigfoot, a redneck cryptid who's spent most of his life wandering from place to place, looking for a friend. Charlie can never stay in one place for too long, because if the humans discover his existence they usually try to hunt him down and profit off him, and they've only grown more dangerous to the Sasquatch over the years as their technology has advanced. Compounding that, [[spoiler: Charlie apparently has a very long lifespan, longer than any other living creature on Earth, so even if he does find a friend, he always inevitably outlives them]]. Charlie gets on well with the woodland critters that live in San Fransico's forests, but the only sapient friends he has are the bear brothers.

* CounterpartComparison:
** Tying in with FriendlyFandoms below, fans like comparing the Bears as the male counterparts of [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse the Crystal Gems]]. Ice Bear's ComicallySerious demeanour and being the most competent and level-headed of his group has led to a few comparisons between him and Garnet. Grizzly's brash and boisterous nature, his love of food and a tragedy in his childhood has led to him being compared to Amethyst. And Panda's {{Adorkable}} personality and prone to nervousness (not to mention that he's rather lovelorn, or "thirsty" for love) has led several comparisons to Pearl.
** Ice Bear and this other character are both the quiet and stoic brother. They don't speak much but when they do, it's worth it. They shown to have HiddenDepths. They are intelligent, multi-talented, and shown to be 'Men of Action'. [[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb Sound familiar?]]
** Ice Bear (again) has a stoic and eccentric personality and is a SupremeChef, which led to some comparisons with a [[Manga/ShirokumaCafe certain other polar bear with similar characteristics.]]
** Let's see: an AsianAndNerdy ChildProdigy accompanied by a BadassAdorable chubby white friend in a San Francisco setting. Chloe and Ice Bear, or [[Disney/BigHero6 Hiro and Baymax?]]
** Nom Nom acts and looks quite a bit similar to Belson Noles from ''WesternAnimation/{{Clarence}}'', another Creator/CartoonNetwork series.
** The bears are often compared to three bear ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}''; Ursaring, Beartic and Pangoro.
** Grizzly and Nom Nom: a cheerful, fun-loving NiceGuy who is an unwanted acquaintance to a stuck-up jerk with a HairTriggerTemper and a big nose. [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants Doesn't that seem familiar?]]

** If the [[https://twitter.com/vvhachiouji/status/798369840293523457 official Japanese Twitter]] is anything to go by, there are tons of merchandise American fans wished was available in its own country.
** The show is also popular in South Korea as there are tons of merchandises, too. The Baskin-Robbins over there has an ice cream cake made for them. This is probably thanks to the show's positive representation of Korean culture.

** In "Grizzly: The Movie", there's a [[SerkisFolk mo-cap actor]] named "Andy" performing Grizzly's stunts, as an obvious reference to Creator/AndySerkis. In the upcoming film ''Film/{{Mowgli}}'', Serkis plays a bear, Baloo, via motion capture.

* AcceptableTargets: Many of the antagonists in the series tend to be a young adult man... and nearly ''every male young adult'' character tends to be evil or unsympathetic in some way. There are exceptions like Nom Nom (a koala of an unspecified age), Ralph (a Sasquatch of an unspecified age), animals such as wolves, cougars, pigeons and dogs, Mrs. Chang (an old lady), Ranger Zhao and the Ivy Rangers, and Ari Curd (all females) as far as antagonists go. In terms of good guys, there's Nate, one of the few people who actually befriended the bears as babies, and El Oso, who was Charlie's very first human friend back in 1913.

* MostWonderfulSound:

* MisaimedMarketing: The bears are also on your ''[[http://art.czongyi.com/2017/huaju_1030/35805.html feminine]] [[https://world.taobao.com/item/548576343155.htm?spm=a21wu.10013406-tw.0.0.2f9e7f55LHLDjH hygiene]]'' packaging. At least they're only available in China.
