Hulk Hogan is not cuckoo for Cocoa Pebbles.

The wrestler and reality star is suing the maker of Cocoa Pebbles for allegedly appropriating his image in commercials for the cereal, the Tampa Tribune reports.

In the "Cocoa Smashdown" commercial, “Hulk Boulder,” a cartoon character resembling Hogan, beats Fred and Barney from “The Flintstones” inside the ring. But then Bamm-Bamm steps in and “smashes down” the blond wrestler.

Will Hogan cash in? Decide for yourself:

    Wow Hulk Hogan is really desperate this is a cartoon commercial that only comes on during Saturday morning cartoons and maybe weekday cartoons during the day, just how much money does he really think he is going to get for them using his likeness. I think that they will just stop showing it and that he will still be broke. He really needs to be quiet before The Incredible Hulk decides to come after him for ripping his name.

    I think he should care about more important things than having a cartoon character look like him...

    It definitely is a rip-off of Hulk Hogan from his Hulkmania days, that's for sure. What they should've done was asked him to use his image, since they're profiting off it. (Yes, keyword is profit... if they weren't making profits off it, I couldn't care less.)

    It's... pretty blatant in my opinion.

    Silly? Yes, but he may actually have a case. Although, I always wondered if Marvel Comics ever had an issue with his name...

    That looks a whole lot like Hogan. I mean even the first part of his ring name is the first part of the characters name. It's so obvious!

    i dont really know how copyright laws work, but my rule is if i cant connect the celebrity to the image used in the commercial or w.e while watching the commercial, then there prob isnt any violation going on. i think hogan is just trying to make a quick buck. plus i think its arrogant that he thought every1 would connect this to him.

    it reminds of that linsday lohan thing when she sued e-trade for using her namee for a baby that likes to party or something.

    He needs to get a life. The Flintstones are known to make similar cartoon characters to real life "celebs".

    Normally when celebs sue over image use, it's ridiculous... but in this commercial, I actually see fairly solid grounds for Hulk Hogan to sue.

    It looks a lot like him and they used the name "Hulk." I don't know why he'd be offended though. Or does he just want the money from it? He isn't rich enough?

    Actually the cartoon has more hair.

    Hah maybe he's offended because he is jealous of the cartoon.

    The problem is they used his image and profited off it without getting his permission. I doubt he'd mind his image being used if they just ASKED.
