General Trivia

  • The only female character he has yet to flirt with is Lammy.
  • According to the "Collect Them All" section in the First Blood DVD, Disco Bear was the Frisbee champion of 1972.
  • In the episode selection of the Second Serving DVD, Disco Bear has his own brand of cereal called "Disc-O's". The box has a 70's look to it, while the cereal (resembling Cheerios) is most likely unhealthy. It can also be seen in a wallpaper on the site along with Handy's cereal.
  • He is depicted as one of the wealthiest characters.
  • He also has a whole wardrobe, including a pair of blue leopard-pattern long-sleeved two-piece pajamas, some red and white workout clothes, a brown skiing outfit, and a leopard-pattern speedo.
  • Disco Bear seems to be friends with Flaky, despite (or maybe because of) him only flirting with her two times.
  • Disco Bear seems to have his own theme song.
  • In Easy Comb, Easy Go, he's capable of doing Michael Jackson's Moonwalk, and can also spin like him.
  • His internet season 1 pop-up shows a quick version of the dance he did in Stayin' Alive.
  • Disco Bear starred in a short video called Disco Bears All. It is a short film about Disco Bear selling videos about how to get the ladies to like you. Warren Graff has stated that the video is fake, despite it having the exact same animation technique and having the Mondo Mini Shows title card at the opening.

Design

  • He is the only character to have chest hair, as seen in the episodes Wishy WashyEasy Comb, Easy GoA Change of Heart, and Sea What I Found.
  • He is the second character (after Lumpy) to have nipples.
  • Disco Bear is one of the eight characters wearing clothes. The others are MimeFlippyThe Mole,RussellLammyPop, and Lumpy.
  • He is sometimes mistaken for a lion (because of his afro color and growling).
  • In his Halloween Smoochie, Disco Bear's last costume resembles Michael Jackson's Thriller outfit (the option itself titled Thrillah). Another tie to him is that they both love music and dancing.
  • Disco Bear is one of three characters to wear some kind of foot wear. The other characters are Cuddlesand Russell.
  • Disco Bear is one of two characters to regularly be seen with human-like hair. The other character is Cro-Marmot.
  • The first and, so far, only time he was bald was in Easy Comb, Easy Go.
  • Disco Bear doesn't have a tail, which is odd as real bears have tails (though small and stubby ones).
  • He is similar to Cartoon Network's "Johnny Bravo" because they both seem fairly wealthy; both of them are egocentric and proud of themselves; they hit on females frequently, but almost never succeed in getting with them and usually end up injured; and both of them have a very long and perfect hair (though their hairstyles are very different), which they take very serious when it comes to looking good. Another Cartoon Network he shares a lot of similarities to is Tobias, from "The Amazing World of Gumball" both have puffy hair, both constantly hit on female characters despite the girls showing no interest or not noticing, and they have both gotten harshly rejected or made fun of by girls. Both characters also have a big ego when it comes to themselves. He is also like Glenn Quagmire from the hit sitcom "Family Guy" and Brock in the "Pokemon" anime for similar reasons. 2 out of these four characters seem to like dancing.
