Recap / We Bare Bears S 4 E 12 Mom App

Go To

Hoping to finally get the mom-experience, the Bears use an app that'll bring a mom right to their door.


Tropes:

  • Amazingly Embarrassing Parent: The first mom, Gayle, wrapping a bib labelled "Imma Big Boy!" around Grizzly's neck in front of people, showing off Panda's private art, and pushing Ice Bear to play his violin even though he hasn't practiced in years.
  • Ambiguous Criminal History: When Linda threatens to have Ice Bear sent to Singapore to be schooled in the family business, Ice Bear claims he's wanted in Singapore.
  • Drill Sergeant Nasty: The last mom, Tank, is obsessed with fitness, to the point where she overworks the bears, throws out their TV, and confiscates Panda's phone, preventing them from cancelling her.
  • Fantasy-Forbidding Parent: Panda likes the second mother, Linda, until she forbids him to make art and has Miki-Chan taken away to be burned.
  • Here We Go Again!: Just as the Bears decide that they don't need a mom, a TV ad plays "Have you ever wanted... a DAD?" much to the Bears' shock.
  • My Beloved Smother: Linda, the "Posh Mom", is very bossy and controlling, and disapproves of the Bears' plain, shabby home and bad table manners.
  • Never Mess with Granny: Panda manages to get rid of Tank by using her own phone to call her mother, who scolds her for being so hard on the Bears and drags her out by the ear.
  • Parental Substitute: The whole point of the app is to bring one over for the Bears to love. None of them work out.
  • Promoted to Parent: In the end of the episode, Tank's mother proclaims that the Bears were already raised by each other and don't need a motherly figure after all.
  • Stealth Hi/Bye: Every time a mom is canceled, they immediately vanish into thin air when the bears come out of hiding.
