Doodle Bears: stuffed animals you could draw on. I have a theory that the trend of drawing on your friends after they’ve passed out stems from growing up with Doodle Bears. Of course, the phallic scribbles on your friend Jeff’s forehead will take more than a quick rinse in the washer to clean it off…

Yayness! 1st vote for Epic Win and first comment! Must be my lucky day
Way to aim high.
You get a medal for being first “hands out a medal(not gold but plastic)
I had a doodlebear! I was always way to lazy to wash it though. I also had a draw on your beanie baby bear, the doodle rocked more though. Oh so cuddly.
Yep! I got my doodle bear from Goodwill… my mom washed it once a month on Sunday! I think I ended up giving it back to goodwill… washed and still lovable of course!
ahh doodle bear i loved her! I also had a doodle pup, smaller made by the same company though i believe.
Ahhh I remember the doodle your mom bear
.
You’re really REALLY cool for using a “your mom” joke.
honestly, can’t even handle how awesome those are.
Aww… I found my Doodle Bear while I was cleaning out all the stuff from my closet the other day. I forgot that I had sewn her a little jeans-jacket.
I have a feeling that the person who writes these comments believes that the world didn’t actually begin until he/she was born. Drawing on your passed-out friends far predates these silly stuffed animals.
yes the doodle bear. i prefered parper, but if i had to make a choice between the doodle bear and the bear that glows 9 whatever its called) i would have SO picked the doodle pear.
Wrong-o! Writing on passed out friends and “decorating” them far predates Doodle Bears! Take it from Gramma – she knows!
Oops, should have read Fuzzi’s post before I posted – but I DID NOT plagarize, Fuzzi!
I’ve still got mine. It’s got the most terrible things written on it, including 666 on its forehead =P
I could never make mine look as nice as the commercials. ): Still very cool! I wish I still had mine.
Kind of funny in an ironic sense that the tune to a song about a promiscuous man got turned into a jingle for kids…
Aww – I had a purple Doodle Bear. I remember the markers didn’t show up very well on it, though…
I had the exact same problem with my purple one. In fact, I think one of the markers they gave me was purple…but my sister’s pink one was great
Wow, I did that to my teddy bears, already. With a sharpie. All though, it couldn’t be washed out.
Man, I loved my old doodle bear. I forget what happened to it, but the new ones look creepy. What is with modernization and toys that makes awesome things blegh?
I hade two of these and I remember getting pissed off at my sister because she wrote on one of them
awww!
I think we still have them in my country…
So for me it’s not “Nostalgic” enough yet
I had one of these, they rocked.
I rmemeber I would always dra glasses on them first, since I wore glasses too.
I loved Doodle Bears, all my friends had them, I always wanted one, and I finally got one, but then I used regular crayola markers on it, and well, it didn’t wash out.
I had a doodle bear and I remember the pens being, at best, poor.
I also quickly graduated to drawing on all my friends with magic markers (the dr. sketch felt kind that smelled like fruits & stuff?)
Today, I’m a tattoo artist. Go figure.
I remember getting one of these for my eighth birthday. I had it up until we moved about 3 years ago, and it vanished. Every time I saw a commercial before then I would remind my mom how much I wanted one. It was covered in markings before the day was even over, and my mom stopped washing it for me after about the sixth time in two days. It was my favorite thing for the longest time.
I remember my sister and I having a doodle bear each.
so for christmas i got him a proper doodle bear. It was epic and it’s probably the best thing he has now 
not so long before last Christmas my boyfriend and I were in toys ‘r’ us and as we went past a scooby doodle doo toy he told me his mum had given his doodle bear to a jumble sale. this memory made him a very sad boy
These things are awesome! I found one not too long ago, but a horse version of it. My friends and I covered it with encouraging words and gave it to a friend fighting cancer. She’s been cancer free for a year and a half. I think it was the power of the horse.
Oh! I’d totally forgotten this…..I had–no, have, as I’m a total packrat, probably still in my bedroom amidst all my other childhood junk–one of these, in pink. Except I was rather afraid to draw on it, as I wasn’t convinced it would really wash out…..And by the time I really got up the nerve to do much, the markers had dried up.
