Little Caesars “Bear on Skates”
Talking anthropomorphic bears are a part of my world, but for those for whom they are not this Little Caesars commercial could practically serve as a gateway to the furry fandom. In it, a man sits on a park bench about to dig into some Little Caesars Cheesy Stuffed Crazy Bread and saying that he “must be dreaming.” At that point, dreams become reality in the figure of a roller skating grizzly bear, complete in yellow shorts and matching head band, and carrying a boom box that he holds to his head. He clearly is quite comfortable on skates, and hints at some awesome moves on them while groovin’ to tunes of the age on his box. There’s a great 70’s vibe to the bear, for those of us who remember or at least honor the more simple and carefree spirit of those days. I’ve had far worse dreams, believe me…
The bear tells our bench-sitter that the cheesy stuffed Crazy Bread is a real thing, and that he should try it because it’s delicious! The bear then moans pleasurably, and back pedals on his skates, presumably back to his own time and space as the commercial winds up. One wants to follow this furry time traveler; he probably has some great disco moves, kind of like a furry young John Travolta of Saturday Night Fever vintage.
Although I was never much for the double knit polyester fabrics and “leisure suits” of the day, I’ve still got a boom box. It’s plastic casing is all discolored with age and the tape player doesn’t work, but the radio is doing just fine…and wouldn’t the retro-cool 70’s Bear be a great meme? Don’t worry, this bear’s more into music and moving than maiming. Maybe he could hang with Rocket Racoon, and listen to Star Lord’s mix tape.- -He’s got it going on, yeah!

I saw this commercial during one of the specials that NATGEO TV is showing for “Sharkfest.” Which, of course, started out as a copy-catfish of Discovery Channel’s annual “Shark Week.” But, with the latter having been pushed back to the end of August, this year, National Geographic has decided to capitalize on that by airing shark documentaries every night for the next _five_ weeks!*
*Which, technically, started last Sunday (July 25).
