About Bubi[]
Bubi is the shortest of the bears, with dark brown fur. He wears a yellow hat and a shirt with pink and yellow stripes. Bubi constantly speaks in a sort of bafflegab way, which proves ideal for distracting or confusing Mr. Peevly.
For instance, in "Rare Bear Bungle", after Hair Bear says that it's always a pleasure to meet new faces, Bubi says, "Oh yes, sir. It's always a great pleasure to get a try with a they." Bubi deludes Peevly and Botch with his false historical knowledge as evidenced in "The Bear Who Came to Dinner", to plead the bears' case that Square Bear should stay in the main office after slipping on a banana peal dropped by Peevly. Bubi says: It's the same try.... the case of, of 1898 of Griz L. Bear v. Timbuck Zoo, where the tray....fell on his back.... and the zookeeper, they crilled him, threw away the key."
Bubi's speech, not quite so garbled as that of Klunk from Dastardly & Muttley in Their Flying Machines, may have been inspired by the gibberish that Al Kelly often used in his vaudeville acts in a combination with the voice of Jerry Mahoney (Paul Winchell's dummy in his ventriloquist show).
Hair also asks Bubi to use his bafflegab to influence others of plots, like Square in "Bridal Boo Boo", and Bananas in "King Klong vs. The Masked Marvel". In "No Space Like Home", it seems that Bubi's speech is understandable to the inhabitants of a strange planet.
