Sir, the man has got an irreverent tendency. He did a very off-color parody of former VP Nixon.

Help! It's the Hair Bear Bunch! was a Saturday morning cartoon, produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions in 1971 for CBS. The series depicted three fun-loving hippie bears, the Afroed Hair Bear (voiced by Daws Butler), Bubi Bear (Paul Winchell), and Square Bear (Bill Callaway), who always find a way to escape the Wonderland Zoo and go out on adventures. Trying to stop them are the head zoo-keeper, Mr. Eustace P. Peevly (John Stephenson), and his hopelessly inadequate assistant Lionel J. Botch (Joe E. Ross). The bears also have an invisible motorcycle, which Square Bear can call upon when necessary.
In Brazil, the show is known as O Urso do Cabelo Duro, which means "The Hard Hair Bear". In Italy, the show is known as Napo Orso Capo. The show was developed under the name The Yo Yo Bears, a title which many sources inaccurately list as its name in syndication (it never went syndicated after CBS canceled it in 1974--it reappeared in 1984 on cable on USA's Cartoon Express).
