'''Yogi Bear''' is an [[anthropomorphic animal]] character who has appeared in numerous comic books, [[cartoon series|animated television shows]], and films. He made his debut in 1958 as a supporting character in ''[[The Huckleberry Hound Show]]''.

Yogi Bear is the first [[breakout character]] in animated television{{fact|date=July 2024}}; he was created by [[Hanna-Barbera]] and was eventually more popular than ostensible star [[Huckleberry Hound]].<ref>Mallory, Michael. ''Hanna-Barbera Cartoons''. New York: Hugh Lauter Levin Associates, 1998. {{ISBN|0-88363-108-3}}. p. 44.</ref> In January 1961, he was given his own show, ''[[The Yogi Bear Show]]'', sponsored by [[Kellogg's]], which included the segments ''[[Snagglepuss]]'' and ''[[Yakky Doodle]]''.<ref>Sennett, Ted. ''The Art of Hanna-Barbera: Fifty Years of Creativity''. New York: Viking Penguin, 1989. {{ISBN|0-670-82978-1}}. pp. 63–64.</ref> ''[[Hokey Wolf]]'' replaced his segment on ''The Huckleberry Hound Show''.<ref>Sennett, p. 52.</ref> A musical animated feature film, ''[[Hey There, It's Yogi Bear!]]'', was released in 1964.

Yogi was one of the several Hanna-Barbera characters to have a [[Detachable collar|collar]]. This allowed animators to keep his body relatively static, redrawing only his head in each [[Film frame|frame]] when he spoke{{snd}}one of the ways Hanna-Barbera cut costs, reducing the number of drawings needed for a seven-minute cartoon from around 14,000 to around 2,000.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/6193603.stm "Hanna Barbera's golden age of animation"], BBC, December 19, 2006</ref>

==Personality==
[[File:Yogi Bear with "don't feed the bears" message - NARA - 286013.tif|right|thumb|Yogi sign advising young [[Yellowstone National Park|National Park]] visitors not to feed the bears (1961)]]

Like many Hanna-Barbera characters, Yogi's personality and mannerisms were based on a popular celebrity of the time. [[Art Carney]]'s [[The Honeymooners#Edward Lillywhite/Ethelbert "Ed" Norton|Ed Norton]] character on ''[[The Honeymooners]]'' was said to be Yogi's inspiration;<ref>Sennett, p. 60.</ref><ref name="Breznican">Anthony Breznican. "[https://usatoday30.usatoday.com/printedition/life/20100825/yogibear25_st.art.htm Yogi Bear gets a digital makeover]". USA Today, August 24, 2010. "Yogi, as voiced by Daws Butler in the early 1960s, was a takeoff on Art Carney's Ed Norton from The Honeymooners{{snd}}itself a character heavily influenced by the Borscht Belt and vaudeville comics."<!--https://www.campjellystone.com/yogi-bear-gets-3-d-makeover-and-dan-aykroyds-voice/ http://movies.wikia.com/wiki/Yogi_Bear http://web.archive.org/web/20151107000826/https://usatoday30.usatoday.com/printedition/life/20100825/yogibear25_st.art.htm--></ref> his voice mannerisms broadly mimic Carney as Norton.<ref name="Sennett59">Sennett, p. 59.</ref> Carney, in turn, received influence from the [[Borscht Belt]] and comedians of [[vaudeville]].<ref name="Breznican"/>

Yogi's name was similar to that of contemporary baseball star [[Yogi Berra]], who was known for his amusing quotes, such as "half the lies they tell about me aren't true." Berra sued Hanna-Barbera for defamation, but their management claimed the similarity was just coincidence. Berra withdrew his suit, but the defense was considered implausible.<ref>{{citation |title=The Name's Familiar II |page=93 |author=Laura Lee |publisher=Pelican Publishing |year=2000 |isbn=9781455609178}}</ref> At the time Yogi Bear first hit TV screens, Yogi Berra was a [[celebrity|household name]].<ref name=":0">Bradle, Laura. [http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2015/09/23/yogi_berra_and_yogi_bear_the_relationship_explained.html "The Relationship Between Yogi Berra and Yogi Bear, Explained"], ''[[Slate (magazine)|Slate]]'' (September 23, 2015).</ref> Journalist [[Walter Brasch]] once wrote that "whether coincidence or not, it is difficult to find anyone else in the [animation] industry who believes it."<ref name=":0" />

The plot of most of Yogi's cartoons centered on his antics in the fictional Jellystone Park, a variant of the real [[Yellowstone National Park]]. Yogi, accompanied by his constant companion [[Boo-Boo Bear]], would often try to steal picnic baskets from campers in the park, much to the displeasure of Park [[Ranger Smith]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Sennett |first1=Ted |title=The Art of Hanna-Barbera: Fifty Years of Creativity |date=1989 |publisher=Studio |isbn=978-0670829781 |url=https://archive.org/details/artofhannabarber00teds/page/60/mode/2up |access-date=2 June 2020 |page=60}}</ref> Yogi's girlfriend, [[Cindy Bear]], sometimes appeared and usually disapproved of Yogi's antics.

==Catchphrases==
Besides often speaking in [[rhyme]], Yogi Bear had a number of [[catchphrase]]s, including his famous chant of excitement and greeting ("Hey, Hey, Hey"), his [[pet name]] for [[picnic baskets]] ("pic-a-nic baskets"), and his favorite self-promotion ("I'm smarter than the av-er-age bear!"),<ref>Mallory, p. 44.</ref> although he often overestimates his own cleverness. Another characteristic of Yogi was his deep and silly voice. He often greets the ranger with a cordial, "Hello, Mr. Ranger, sir!" and "Hey there, Boo Boo!" as his preferred greeting to his [[sidekick]], Boo Boo. Yogi would also often use puns in his speech and had a habit of pronouncing large words with a long vocal flourish.

==Voice actors==
[[Image:Daws Butler (1976).jpg|thumb|[[Daws Butler]] originated the character's voice.]]

From the time of the character's debut until 1988, Yogi was voiced by voice actor [[Daws Butler]]. Butler died in 1988; his last performance as Yogi was in the television film ''[[Yogi and the Invasion of the Space Bears]]''.

In 1983, a Yogi Bear balloon made its first appearance in the [[Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade]], becoming the final balloon that year. That same year, he appeared on a float named ''A Hanna-Barbera Christmas'' alongside many other Hanna-Barbera characters, as they cleaned up the streets of Broadway. The performance was bookended with animated segments featuring Yogi and Boo-Boo, voiced by [[Mel Blanc]] and Butler, respectively.

After Butler's death in 1988, [[Greg Burson]] stepped in to perform the role; Butler had taught Burson personally how to voice Yogi as well as his other characters. Worsening alcoholism and a legal incident led to Burson's firing in 2004 and eventually his death in 2008.<ref name="NFM">{{cite web |url=http://www.newsfromme.com/archives/2008_08_01.html#015596 |title=Greg Burson, R.I.P. |author=Evanier, Mark |author-link=Mark Evanier |date=August 1, 2008 |publisher=NewsFromMe.com |access-date=7 February 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110604041141/http://www.newsfromme.com/archives/2008_08_01.html#015596 |archive-date=4 June 2011 }}</ref>

Yogi's current voice actor is [[Jeff Bergman]]. Bergman and [[Billy West]] also performed the character throughout the 1990s and early to mid-2000s for various [[Cartoon Network]] and [[Boomerang (TV network)|Boomerang]] commercials and bumpers.

Australian voice actor, animation historian and impressionist [[Keith Scott (voice actor)|Keith Scott]] provided Yogi's voice in a [[Pauls (dairy)|Pauls]] commercial and the live show ''Hanna-Barbera Gala Celebrity Night'' at the [[Wonderland Sydney]] amusement park in Australia, where Yogi and other [[Hanna-Barbera]] characters including [[Huckleberry Hound]], [[Scooby-Doo]], [[George Jetson]], [[Fred Flintstone]], [[Barney Rubble]], [[Wilma Flintstone]], and [[Betty Rubble]] make guest appearances.<ref name="Gala Celebrity Nite"/>

In the 2010 ''[[Yogi Bear (film)|Yogi Bear]]'' film, the character is voiced by actor [[Dan Aykroyd]].

In a [[Müller (company)|Müller]] commercial in 2011 titled "Wünderful Stuff", [[Lewis MacLeod (actor)|Lewis MacLeod]] performed the voice of Yogi.

In the animated [[stop motion]] [[sketch comedy]] show ''[[Robot Chicken]]'', [[Dan Milano]] and [[Seth Green]] (creator of the show) voiced Yogi Bear.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://voicechasers.com/database/showactor.php?actorid=6895 |title=Dan Milano – Voice Actor Profile at Voice Chasers |publisher=Voicechasers.com |date=September 10, 1972 |access-date=February 1, 2013 |archive-date=March 30, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120330150831/http://voicechasers.com/database/showactor.php?actorid=6895 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name="Robot Chicken"/>

[[Scott Innes]] performed the voice of Yogi, along with Boo-Boo, in ''At Picnic'', ''Forest'', and ''Honey Lesson''.
