Why he might be annoying:

    He is effeminate.
    He has a squeaky voice and high-pitched giggle.
    Unilever recalled 150,000 Snuggle 'Teeny Bean Bears' because the pom-pom on their caps could detach and become a choking hazard.
    Next year, an additional 4 million bears were recalled as a choking hazard because the eyes and nose could come off.
    He underwent a makeover to be 'a little more suave, a little more smart, a little more hip' (2003).

Why he might not be annoying:

    He is full of 'snuggly goodness.'
    He was official spokesbear for Bedtime Story Month for the National Center for Family Literacy.
    He was parodied in commercials for the Nintendo 64 games 'Battle Tanx' and 'Battle Tanx: Global Assault.' (1998-99)
    To promote 'Sunkissed Breeze' fabric softener, he appeared in parodies of ads for Chanel No. 5 and Calvin Klein perfumes (2003).
