The Threatening Bears
Encyclopedia
The Threatening Bears are two bears hand puppets that appeared on the short-lived ABC TV comedy program The Sideshow
. They are very aggressive and always hurt their friends. The most common "friend" to appear is the Koala who is most often hurt. Another friend who commonly appears is a Kangaroo, who sometimes wears a moustache (in this case he is known as a "program supevisor"). Other friends to appear are a sheep, a cockatoo, and The Election Worm.
These hand puppets are usually operated by The Umbilical Brothers
, and have their own small segments between certain "show breaks".
A comic has recently been created for the Threatening Bears by Jason Weibel with the approval of The Umbilical Brothers
.
