Funny / Humphrey the Bear

Go To

  • In "Hooked Bear", Humphrey grabs what he thought was a huge fish, but it was only a balloon float, which he accidentally popped. The float belonged to a little brat who kicked him in the shin. Humphrey hops in agony to Ranger Woodlore, whining about it. Woodlore respond by angrily telling him to "Leave the kiddies alone!" and hits him in the same shin with a bucket of fish.
  • In "Rugged Bear", while pretending to be a bear skin rug, a spark from the fireplace lands on Humphrey's butt. He tries to ignore the pain since Donald's resting on top of him. But instead he changes stations on Donald's radio from easy listening to loud jazz music and screams "YEEOOOOOOOOOOWWWW!!!!".
  • In "In the Bag", Humphrey decided to set the litter paper onto fire. Then suddenly, a bear stomps on the fire to extinguish the flame. It was no other than Smokey the Bear and reminded viewers "Remember: Only you can prevent forest fires!"
  • "Beezy Bear" is easily the funniest of the Donald Duck/Humphrey cartoons. Among the highlights:
    • The funny faces Humphrey makes to lure away the bees.
    • Ranger Woodlore explains how the line works:
    Woodlore: This side is ours and that side belongs to Mr. Duck. (sees Humphrey on Donald's side) Is that clear? (Humphrey nods) Then, GET BACK HERE!
    • Humphrey jumps through a barbed wire fence and a piece of fur gets snagged in the fence. Ranger Woodlore finds it, looks around to see if no one is looking, and puts it on as a toupee.
    • The climax has Humphrey siphoning honey from a hose. Donald finds out, screws the other end of the hose to a spigot and turns it on. As the huge bulge of water travels down the hose, Humphrey gets ready to receive what he thinks is the honey motherlode. Just then, the Ranger arrives, takes the hose from Humphrey and hands it to Donald. What follows is a frantic game of Hot Potato, ending with all three getting soaked.
    Ranger Woodlore: (bonks Humphrey in the head) You bathe too much!
    Donald: (bonks Humphrey as well) Yeah!
  • "Grin and Bear It" begins with the Ranger giving the bears a pep talk... which turns into a threat should any of the bears (clearly referring to Humphrey) steal food from the parkgoers.
    Ranger: Last year, we've had complaints of stealing.
    Bears: (all turn to Humphrey) Shame!
    Ranger: (looking straight at Humphrey) We won't mention any names, won't we?
    Humphrey: (smiling sheepishly) Heh.
    Ranger: But if it happens this year... the supreme penalty. (points at a bear skin rug)
    Bears: Yeeesh!
    Ranger: And now have fun, fun-fun-fun-fun! Lots of fun!
    • The Ranger scolding Humphrey for having his elbows on the table.
    • Humphrey helps Donald make two Dagwood Sandwiches — only for Donald to put them both together for himself.
    • After the Ranger catches Donald and Humphrey after littering food all over the road, he has them pick it all up. But as he points to all the food they have to pick up, he runs into a large, juicy ham. Being only human, he tries to sneak it away under his shirt, but Donald and Humphrey catch him and spear him in the butt with their pickers. The ranger can only smile sheepishly and utter "Heh" just like Humphrey.
