Riddonkulous

A creature with no bones, Fuzzy to the touch, Famous in eighties homes, But now not around so much. Now they'd be called way too woke, But back then flooded your TV, Movies cartoons, adverts - folks! They were ubiquitous to see. Famous for a special stare, A beam of arctic empathy, Now they're gone IDK where, Who were they; can you tell me?
