Fozzie Bear was originally created by Jim Henson as a member of The Muppets. He is a brown, fuzzy Muppet bear who is constantly telling semi-funny jokes and ends each joke with his catch phrase "Wocka wocka wocka!" Shortly after telling the joke, he is constantly the target of rotten tomatoes and ridicule, especially from hecklers Statler & Waldorf. He is very good natured and loves his friends. He was originally performed by puppeteer Frank Oz, although in recent years he has been performed by Eric Jacobson. Fozzie was named after puppet builder Faz Fazakas, who created the mechanism that allowed Fozzie to wiggle his ears. He also sings and dances, The Muppets released records and Fozzie Bear had such classics as "Wotcher Knocked 'Em in the Old Kent Road" to his credit.
The character now belongs to The Walt Disney Company after Disney bought the franchise from the Jim Henson Company.nl:Fozzie Beer
