This clip from a 1983 TV special, Humphrey Bear and the Great Gnome Robbery, displays some of Humphrey B Bear’s most endearing qualities: his childish curiosity, openness, and love of dancing.

At a park by the sea, Humphrey goofs around with various buskers, doing ballet with a Pierrot, tipping a nod to his own statue, and holding his own with a break-dancing crew. Like all great TV personalities, Humphrey has an ability to move with the times without compromising the central quality of his appeal.
