Animal

The Resume

    Born in United States
    Black Labrador retriever
    Owned by producer Gary David Goldberg
    Famed for his photograph used as the closing tag of UBU Productions
    Tagline is 'Sit, Ubu, sit! Good dog!' followed by a dog barking

Why he might be annoying:

    People who try to remember 1980's pop culture tend to butcher his name. It is not 'Boo-boo' or 'Fubu.'
    You can hardly see his eyes.
    Though he was praised for sitting, the picture doesn't even show him sitting!
    Many think he was not real and really just a dog made up for a cute vanity card.
    Though some sources claim he died in 1984, Goldberg admitted that he actually died before then.
    In 'Robot Chicken,' he was called a 'bad dog' and was promptly capped like Old Yeller.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was named after an 1896 absurdist play.
    He accompanied Goldberg during Goldberg's college years and worldwide hitchhiking.
    Along with Stephen J. Cannell's signoff, his closing tag was among the most memorable in 1980's television.
    He appeared at the end of episodes for 'Family Ties' and 'Spin City.'
