Historical Background
The Bad Taste Bears series, conceived by Peter Underhill and manufactured by Piranha Studios, became infamous in the early 2000s for its commitment to dark, irreverent, and controversial humor. The collection takes the traditionally innocent image of a teddy bear and places it in scenarios that are often rude, shocking, or satirical, earning them a devoted (and sometimes discreet) following.
The "Theresa" bear is a classic example of their boundary-pushing style. Released in 2004, this bear parodies religious figures with a naughty twist, making it a very recognizable and highly collectible piece within the series. Bears that offer social commentary or parodies, especially those from the early 2000s, are increasingly difficult to find, particularly in their original packaging.
