==SNL "Charmin Bears" Sketch Controversy==

On July 14th, 2022, Joel Haver published the "Toilet Paper Bears" comedy sketch on his YouTube channel. The video depicts a dispute between the [[Charmin|Charmin Bears]] family, in which the son confronts his father in his dream to be a dancer, to his father's disappointment, describing his dream as a "one-ply kind of thought" and adding, "Wiping your butt is one of the best things you can do as a bear."<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |last=Bailey |first=Jonathan |date=2022-10-05 |title=The SNL/Charmin Bears Plagiarism Controversy |url=https://www.plagiarismtoday.com/2022/10/05/the-snl-charmin-bears-plagiarism-controversy/ |access-date=2024-06-19 |website=Plagiarism Today |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMKW-ifxikE |title=Toilet Paper Bears |date=2022-07-14 |last=Joel Haver |access-date=2024-06-19 |via=YouTube}}</ref>


==Early life==
In October 2022, [[Saturday Night Live]] aired the "Charmin Bears" sketch, bearing striking similarities to Haver's original sketch. Notably, the basic premise of the sketches was nearly identical (a young bear confronts his father about his dream to be a dancer); in both videos, the bears are colored blue, the father wears glasses and the child bears no accessories, and the father emphasizes the importance of the Charmin Bear lifestyle (defecating into toilet paper). <ref name=":3">{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/charmin-bears/NBCE683269510 |title=Watch Saturday Night Live Clip: Charmin Bears - NBC.com |language=en-US |access-date=2024-06-19 |via=www.nbc.com}}</ref><ref name=":2" />
