50 free Yogi Bear trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Yogi Bear has been outwitting park rangers since the late 1950s, when a supporting character in someone else's cartoon proved funnier than the star. His rhyming patter, his loyal little sidekick Boo-Boo and his endless schemes to lift a camper's lunch made him one of the most recognisable characters in television animation. This quiz covers the whole of Yogi's career: the original Jellystone Park cartoons, the voice actors who gave the bears and Ranger Smith their sound, the all-star spin-off series of the 1970s and 1980s, the holiday specials, and both of his big-screen outings. There are also questions about the stranger corners of his fame, from restaurants and campgrounds to outer space. It is pitched for anyone who grew up with Hanna-Barbera reruns, with plenty of easy openers and a handful of deep cuts for cartoon historians.
