About

Poorly Prepared Polar Bear is an advice animal image macro series featuring a picture of a polar bear in a helmet made out of a garbage pail and various captions characterizing the bear as an absent-minded individual. Upon its introduction via 9GAG in late October 2016, the advice animal character spawned a handful of jokes illustrating humorous situations for which the bear is hopelessly unprepared.

Origin

The still image of the polar bear comes from a video posted by Mmovies21[1] on August 30th, 2015 that finds a polar bear playing with the bucket on its head. Buzzfeed[2] covered the video on September 24th, 2015.



On October 29th, 2016, screenshots of the story was tweeted by @RelatableQuote[3] and gained over 8,000 retweets in two days. The following day, 9GAG user stroop_wafel posted it as an Advice Animal with the caption "Brings a Knife To a Gun Fight."[4] The post gained 22,155 points in one day.

Well, if we are really going back to 2011 and everyone seems to be fine with it, guess we must do it all the way in.

Uh… oh, right:

- "+1 confirm"
- "+1 deadpool"
- "NEEDS MORE PONIES!"
- "FUCKING PONIES RUINED IT!"
- "lol 9fag, no, deadpool because it's from 9fag"
- "I personally find it funny, therefore +1 confirm"
- [insert rage face reaction image here]
- [insert broken image link here]
- [insert spambot comment that mods never saw and is therefore not deleted here]
- [mandatory chain of comments "replying" to another using @username that looks messy as all hell]
- "BUT SERIOUSLY THOUGH IT NEEDS MORE PONIES!" (buried comment)

There, I already got one off the list.
