The Mystery Cartoon Character Game, ongoing.

I don't have the foggiest notion, either.

4. I was a mascot for a well known beer company.
5. I am an animal generally considered to be cute.
6. As mentioned, I go after beer in a terrifying manner--something you'd see in a horror film.

Just found the answer, but I'll wait and see if someone else gets it.

So, going through a listing of beer brewery mascots threw up the Hamm's Beer bear. No idea if he has a name. I'm told the product was ... substandard, thus the brewery is currently kaput.

Guess I'll answer after all. It's the Bud Ice Penguin.

Yes, it's the Bud Ice Penguin. I was certain this penguin was animated but I wasn't certain due to the fact that the commercials are all live action.

1. Most of the commercials involving the penguin have a thriller like setting. There is one where a couple keeps receiving phone calls asking how their Bud Ice is--and when the police trace the number, they discover that the calls are coming from inside the house. Another one has an unaware driver discovering from another frantic couple in a car that he has the penguin sitting in the back seat of his car. How the penguin got in there in the first place--who knows.

2. The penguin is doing this for beer.

3. The song in question is "Strangers in the Night" The penguin's catchphrase is "Doobie Doobie Doo."

4. Anheuser-Busch is still around--and they still make Bud Ice-- but the penguin is no longer their mascot because Munsingwear Men’s wear company demanded that the penguin stop being used because they had a similar penguin as their mascot--although I highly doubt that that one stole beer.

5. Penguins are adorable--but for some reason, they keep being made into strange psychopaths.

6. As I mentioned in clue one--most of the penguin's antics were much like stuff out of a horror film.

Thanks, Gloowrom. Now here's one who's definitely gone untapped:

1. I owe my special ability to my hat.

2. I'm accompanied by a wonder dog, but not the one from "Super Friends."

3. My adversary is rotten to the core.

Oh... Now I remember the Bud Ice Penguin. I completely forgot about him until I looked him up.

I do know this one afterall--but I want to give someone else a turn--and I do have a Jewish New Year to celebrate.

I'm not sure on this one, but I've been really busy and haven't have the time to research.

OK - if everyone else is busy I'll sneak in and steal a point! It's Tom Terrific.

Absolutely right, Pete!

1. He's able to change into anything by using a funnel-shaped hat.

2. He's accompanied by Mighty Manfred, the Wonder Dog.

3. His main adversary is Crabby Appleton--rotten to the core.

So you go again, Pete. Good job.

Well, how about this character...

1) I'm the Second-in-Command of the invading army.
2) Communicating with my Chief is a tricky business, as he doesn't take "Yes" for an answer. At the end of the film, however, he has a change of heart.
3) I habitually cringe in anticipation of his wrath.

This is another that I can't answer. Hopefully, someone else knows this guy.

Ooh, I almost have this one: it's one of the Blue Meanies that invade Pepperland in Yellow Submarine. The Supreme Meanie asks if all the battalions are ready, and his Number Two says "Yes." Supreme roars at him that he hates yes men and all their yessiness, to which Number Two replies "no" to every battalion named. If you'll give me a minute, I think I can look him up on IMDb ... which is Max, to be specific.

You nailed it, OUB - Max it is! Over to you....

Dang, sir, that was a fun one; thanks for the chortling. And now to find someone from an untapped source. A-ha! Gotcha ...

1) This character occurs in a regularly televised animated series by a significant studio. Id est, a studio known for multiple series and usually reliable production timeliness. It's not Walt Disney Studios, just to narrow the field.

2) One would expect this character to be hated and feared by the townsfolk, but he's not. He actively tries, in fact, to sunder the stereotype.

3) Normally, this character receives hails and accolades and the occasional gift, and he's delighted and polite and gracious about it. With one horrible exception, however. One gift in particular results in doom, disaster and destruction. Followed by guilt galore and sincere apologies.

I figure it's a Hanna-Barbera character, but I can't be sure if it's the one I'm thinking of.

I don't know this one. I'll wait for the next set of clues.

Well, surprise on me, I thought this one would be tagged in a New York minute. No prob, I'll whip a second set o' clues.

4) The pie-in-the-face gag has been around so long, it's almost cliché, but not quite. This character receives a pie in the face; several times, in fact. Yet, he's perfectly okay with this, even enjoying the taste and identifying the filling.

5) One theory as to why this character goes haywire at the sight of one particular item is that it's an allergic reaction. Except that instead of breaking into a rash or a sneezing fit, this character sunders almost everything around him. However, there is one episode that indicates that the berserker mode is the result of a curse, laid on him by his own father, who wanted his son to be less a sissy and more menacing.

6) And, regrets to EmeraldIsle, but this character is not a product of Hanna-Barbera Studios, either.
