Yogi Berra or Yogi Bear

Funny Mistakes in Print History

Don’t worry kids, Yogi Bear is totally fine.

While this was likely the mix-up of an underslept intern, Berra was known for his amusing unintentional witticisms and malapropisms, remembered for gems like "It ain't over 'til it's over," "It's déjà vu all over again," and "Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded."
