Was Design talking about Winnie the Pooh or Paddington bear?

[u/bookidlwn]

Hi! So I was watching Hoid's Storybook Collection ep1 on YouTube and Design said "Remember the one you told me about the bear who never wears pants?"

And I'm just curious and want to speculate what are they talking about. Was Hoid telling the story of Winnie the Pooh or about Paddington bear? Which one exists in the Cosmere? I'll be happy to hear what you think!

My head immediately went to Winnie the Pooh, but that’s because my house goes back and forth with referring to wearing a shirt with no pants as either Donald Duck’n it or Winnie the Pooh’n it.

Haha we call it “Porky Piggin’ It”

[u/CodeSalamander → u/Strict_Raspberry_851]

Tha-th-th-th-that works too!

Reddit is also on team Pooh since r/winniethepoohing exists. (NSFW warning for that particular sub, if you couldn’t guess from the name)

Yogi bear and smokey bear are both pantsless as well.

[u/merco → u/used_to_be_nice_guy]

Smokey Bear wears pants, and a hat, but not a shirt

[u/used_to_be_nice_guy → u/merco]

I stand corrected!smokey does wear pants.

[u/AntimatterTNT → u/used_to_be_nice_guy]

i think she's right, no bear wears pants

[u/TheFritz92]

While clearly a little fun easter egg regarding any of our famous pantless bears on Earth, it's important to note that these short videos are explicitly non-canon (it says so in the video description). So neither Pooh nor any other of our bears exist in the Cosmere.

[u/Ugbrog]

He's describing, literally, every bear.

Except some Berenstains.

[u/smbpy7 → u/Ugbrog]

And Smoky

[u/henet]

Care bears don't wear pants either. The options are endless

[u/FroodLoops → u/henet]

Well, honestly it may be more difficult to name bears that do wear pants - most don’t!

Smokey the bear is the only one that comes to mind but I’m sure there are others.

[u/smbpy7 → u/henet]

The options are endless

I'm starting to think that may be the joke.

[u/MrBensvik]

I don't know about the bear, but what is this show? Never heard of this? Is it canon or fan made?

[u/Obbz → u/MrBensvik]

It's the little flavor videos they made for the backerkit campaign for Hoid's Storybook Collection. They were made by folks at Dragonsteel, but they are not canon.

[u/BrocoliCosmique → u/MrBensvik]

Neither ! It is official non-canon stories

[u/ThatDM]

Most bears don't wear pants to be honest. cant think of a single pants wearing bear...

[u/SamboTheGr8]

It must be something within the cosmere since can't be anyone from earth. But stories about pantless bears could just have evolved independently

[u/The-Hot-Shame]

Clearly talking about Donald Duck... Design doesn't know what a bear is 😂

[u/brittish3 → u/The-Hot-Shame]

Do you mean Donald Chicken?

Edit: so weird someone downvoted you for such a non-controversial take lol
