I just proofread your review summary. Copy and paste your new edited review summary (below) in the description section:
I'm sorry I didn't take an actual photo like I usually do off my TV or computer for this one, but for something of this magnitude, I wanted to capture the entire image to show you the glory that is this episode. Within a mere 4 episodes, We Bare Bears has already proven itself to be one of the finest cartoons ever to hit Cartoon Network. It's actually a better attempt at slice-of-life than even Steven Universe believe it or not, and it has 3 talking bears as its protagonists. I can relate more to these 3 bears than I could to Garnet, Amethyst or Peal, although I can still relate to them all the same. I could be reviewing the episode "Chloe" today and showing you one of the finest mature child characters since Steven Quartz Universe himself, but I think that episode gets enough praise as it is, and besides that, this episode is the latest one to air as of yesterday.
Right off the bat, I'm going to explain just what the big deal is about this particular episode: it managed to do the SpongeBob episode "To Love a Patty" CORRECTLY! Yes, it managed to do one of the most bizarre, stupid and honestly disgusting romance plots ever made… CORRECTLY! And yes, I'm fully aware shows like Rocko's Modern Life and Happy Tree Friends have also done this plot very well, but none of them have the real raw heart and emotions that this episode brings to the table to make this bizarre inanimate object attraction feel truly legitimate and heartbreaking.
When Grizzly, Panda and Ice Bear decide to get their munch on at the Mexican-themed restaurant Purrito, Grizz learns of a burrito challenge that wouldn't be out of place in Man v. Food; only a bear is doing the challenge. By my estimation, I'd say Grizz ate about 30 different burritos in 15 minutes! Now that's Jenga, my friend. But he's got one last burrito, and it is the MOTHER of all burritos! Standing at 6 feet tall and containing every ingredient Purrito has, THIS is Grizz's final challenge! However, it becomes clear very quick that he has a very odd sense of comfort and love for this tortilla and aluminum foil wrapped concoction. Now, unlike SpongeBob who fell in love with a Krabby Patty that wasn't any different than any other Patty that HE MAKES, the burrito Grizz shares a bromance with is clearly made out to be a very special piece of food; I mean, Purrito closed down just to MAKE this monstrosity! Kind of like the Monster Krabby Patty from "All That Glitters", only it's not a stupid plot device used to force sadness.
Grizz and his "best buddy" are pretty much inseparable. These two do everything together, like going to the amusement park, getting coffee and even sunbathing, which cannot be good for a piece of food that size, all of these activities done in a montage to a romantic song, kind of like that OTHER episode! Only this song "Gonna Be Chillin'" doesn't devolve into a screeching annoyance and doesn't cause Grizz to murder a bunch of innocent birds. And throughout the time they spent together, people kept staring at them, they're all: "What the fuck am I looking at here?" Just like in the SpongeBob episode "Rock-a-Bye Bivalve".
Eventually, Panda and Ice Bear become fed up with Grizz and his "new friend" because they haven't been hanging out for a very long time. Like I'd assume at least a week or more, given the montage; not six fucking hours! Enough time was given to Grizz and the burrito to where we can actually see it sort of have a real identity and personality unlike Patty. Plus, that burrito is starting to smell like a dirty diaper in the hot sun after so much time. Plus, as Panda and Ice Bear find out, there are A LOT of people who have taken romantic or friend-like relationships with foods; like a man in Japan marrying a bowl of ramen or somebody ADOPTING a jar of pickles! They abandon their friends and families, quit their jobs, and some even become hermits!
So finally, on one really dark and stormy night, Ice Bear and Panda do the thing Patrick and Sandy should have done and "kidnap" the burrito in an effort to snap Grizz out of his paraphilia. This eventually leads to a chase up an electrical tower, while lighting is striking. While the bears are safe, the burrito gets hit and explodes into what I'm going to call a pile of brown shit, and it gets all over EVERYONE! That's one more thing this episode did well: for the entirety of the episode, the burrito was encased in an aluminum foil wrapping, protecting it from the outside elements while it rotted and decayed inside. We didn't see it rot at all for ourselves until the end, which is another reason "To Love a Patty" was so fucking gross; also, Grizz never ate the gross thing! This explosion eventually snaps Grizz out of his delusional statement, and it ends with them all having what amounts to a shitball fight before they go home to shower. The exploded burrito isn't gross in the slightest. In fact, it's only shit by smell. It more or less just looks like mud, which isn't really that gross.
But it doesn't end just there, my friends. The most important part, which all of these prior episodes failed to do, is done here. It has to give us an ACTUAL REASON for why Grizz would fall in love with a giant burrito! Throughout the episode, we are shown flashbacks of when a baby grizzly cub was saved by the fire department after he had climbed up a tree, which a lot of poor cubby-poos do in real life. That cub… was Grizz. He embraces the fireman's arm, which does in fact look like a wrapped up burrito about his size with a warm embrace of love during a storm much like the one seen in the present.
Now, Grizz was just a baby when this all happened, so, of course, he isn't going to remember the exact reason for why he was so enticed by the burrito, which makes plenty of sense. This is what we like to call a recovered lost memory. Not many people remember events that occur in their infancy, even when it's very traumatic; it mostly becomes an instinct to them with the usually having no reason as to why unless somebody was there like our parents. They managed to not only do this plot correctly, but also very very realistically too. This may also be the first tearjerker for this show, and in hindsight, it makes Grizz's plot from the previous episode "Everyday Bears" absolutely heartbreaking.

I think you should review more "We Bare Bears" episodes, I watched "Panda's Date" and "Shush Ninjas", and they are great! They're a few times funny, but the show is grounded to reality and they are never thought as being bad or jerks at all. I think you should review these episodes first and check out the rest.

I personally have to disagree. I haven't seen Shush Ninjas yet, but Panda's Date is actually incredibly offensive to me. On top of that, the jokes fall flat, the animation at some points is grotesque, Ice Bear and Grizz are both uncharacteristically nasty (at the end of the episode where Grizz is telling Panda what happened he acts like he was entertained, along with the fact Panda was dying and all Grizz tried to do was stuff his own face then when he survived Grizz spanked him, and Ice Bear dropped him on the ground) and Grizz and Ice Bear both get off scot free for everything they did here while Panda almost dies because he was abusing free samples, even though he took less than his brothers did.
Seriously, I think it's almost as bad as, if not worse than Rapsittie Street Kids, the worst Christmas special ever made.

You should probably watch more of it, but avoid the episode Nom Nom, apparently it is terrible with how Grizz and Panda turn on Ice Bear for no reason.
Emergency is also an Ice Bear torture porn (I didn't really hate it that much). As in, he is in so much pain he literally can't speak normally. (Or at least normal for Ice Bear).

I've seen those two, and I am not a big fan of those episodes either.
Not to mention those episodes where Panda's "Cute sneeze" gets viral and he's competing against Nom Nom; Oh, and what about the episode where Panda and Ice Bear go insane because they "can't live without their technical wonders"? And where Grizz has to settle their hunger with a fast food place?

I haven't seen Panda's Sneeze yet, nor do I really want to.
And about Primal; they actually go insane because Grizz is pretty much trying to starve them to death. Seriously, he's denying them food (right up to the point where they try to canabalize him) and taking away all their technology so they can't get help.

It's a terrible story, but at least they tried. Same with Panda's Date; it's a horrible story (although here they should have edited it as not to offend anyone or scrap the entire project) and it has a song thrown in that is intentionally bad for comedy. The joke doesn't work.

Positive?
Well I found this game called "Who's Your Daddy". It's pretty dark. As in, you have to prevent a baby from dying while the baby tries to die. It's a pretty good game.
As for something completely positive, you should watch Rick and Morty, specifically the episode "Lawnmower Dog" although most of the episodes are really funny when they are trying to be.

Classic Spongebob (I don't hate modern spongebob but it isn't as good as seasons 1-3), I don't hate Teen Titans Go (most of the time, some episodes make me want to burn something, although that's a rant for another time) believe it or not I like We Bare Bears, the Animator vs Animation series is really good, and I have no idea if this counts as its mainly marketed towards adults but the Homestar Runner franchise is really good. Harvey Beaks has some pretty good episodes but quite a few episodes are cruel garbage, which is also a rant for another time.

Exactly.
Rick and Morty is one of the best shows ever made, but it's animation sucks. And really bad things can have high points too, like how the Breadwinners episode Bad to the Duck Bone has the song.
