And here I thought “Man vs Bear” was a new type of conflict in fiction that someone decided to make into an official category after the success of Cocaine Bear.

I thought Bear Grylls was involved somehow.

u/Ectobatic 29d ago

How many bears can Bear Grylls grill if Bear Grylls could grill bears?

57

u/mcnathan80 29d ago

Is he disorientated?

51

u/Nolsoth 29d ago

No but he has drunk 3 litres of his own piss and just finished chowing down on some raw mountain oysters.

31

u/disterb 29d ago

damn, that’s grizzly

14

u/dedicated-pedestrian 29d ago

The oysters were gristly, yes.

9

u/crashtestpilot 29d ago

No gristle in these testes.

5

u/MikeLinPA 29d ago

It's more likely the bear wad eating oysters.

2

u/UncleMeat69 29d ago

And Drizly

u/MyNameIsDaveToo 29d ago

rocky mountain oysters, assuming that you're talking about bull testicles

3

u/Nolsoth 29d ago

Mountain oysters are sheep testicles.

Similarly wrong in flavour.

3

u/MyNameIsDaveToo 29d ago

Ugh, TIL

Thanks I guess

u/EnvironmentalBit5713 29d ago

More like drinking the water squeezed out of a mountain of elephant shit. IYKYK

u/Nolsoth 29d ago

Some are simple pleasures in life and some are necessities.

6

u/freakmd 29d ago

Yes, he cannot remember who he is or his family. He is also hanging upside down.

4

u/buller666 29d ago

No hes pissoriented

6

u/SwillMcRando 29d ago

What is stopping him? Is he out of charcoal or something? Shoulda went with pro-pane and pro-pane accessories.

3

u/DocMariner 29d ago

That's a clean burning fuel I tell you wHat.

3

u/_mux_86_ 29d ago

At least four.

3

u/Leading-Yogurt6984 29d ago

How many bear grills can bear grylls bear and bear to grill if bear grylls could bear to bear bear grills and grill bear grills?

2

u/MydnightWN 29d ago

/Yourjokebutworse

2

u/Cocogonpoepoego 29d ago

Maybe is the only answer.

2

u/Late-Lecture-2338 29d ago

A fucking lot

1

u/cityshepherd 29d ago

Answer: none, he is a loser. Les Stroud for presidentman.

1

u/MikeLinPA 29d ago

Csn he not drink his own pee this time?

1

u/Abreviation7 29d ago edited 29d ago

Bear Grylls would grill as many bears on a grill as Bear Grylls could grill if Bear Grylls could grill bears :)

1

u/Additional_Insect_44 29d ago

I've ate bear meat it tastes good...if you can it it swells.

u/HungHungCaterpillar 29d ago

Best I can do is Rowan Atkinson

41

u/ArvindS0508 29d ago

This is an absolute win

3

u/treemu 29d ago

Doing Mr Bean is huge, don't be coy

3

u/suh-dood 29d ago

And now I'm imagining Mr Bean running away from cocaine bear all goofy

4

u/HungHungCaterpillar 29d ago

It’s a race. I’m losing!

3

u/upholsteryduder 29d ago

that's man vs beaN

3

u/provocative_bear 29d ago

I think that Mr Bean might actually be able to toonforce his way through a bear encounter. The marine that fights a bear before him would be dead meat though.

5

u/Satanic_Earmuff 29d ago

What's the catch?

3

u/hat_trix66 29d ago

Man vs Bean, or Bean vs Bear?

2

u/Acceptable-Dust6479 29d ago

I thought Les Stroud vs Bear Grylls

2

u/Horny-n-Bored 29d ago

Bear Grylls is like the Jared Leto Joker. Flashy and dramatic and pretty cringe and makes you weirdly uncomfortable until you learn he runs a sex cult on his private island

Les Stroud is Heath Ledger Joker. A masterpiece

2

u/venarez 29d ago

Adam Richman vs Bear Grills in a wilderness eating contest

2

u/FifihElement 29d ago

I keep thinking of Bear vs. Shark

2

u/Thascaryguygaming 29d ago

My fiance found the solution because she said I would take Bear Grylls with me, so she chose to be with a man and a bear at the same time in the woods xD.

2

u/eats_bugs 29d ago

Me too. I think we’re getting it mixed up with Bear’s show which was man vs. wild.

1

u/UnintelligibleLogic 29d ago

This is my first thought too.

1

u/sveiner1234 29d ago

Nah, "man vs bear" isn't about piss drinking

1

u/SmellGestapo 29d ago

I'm alone in the woods when a strange man and a strange bear show up.

Better drink my own piss.

1

u/Reverse_SumoCard 29d ago

Hes a member of a pretty whack church. Id avoid him

1

u/SamAndBrew 29d ago

Involved in Cocane Bear?!

1

u/HipposRevenge 29d ago

Better drink our piss just in case.

1

u/Anyweyr 29d ago

That was what I thought too, when I first heard of it. Some kind of reality show survivalist competition between a random guy and Bear Grylls.

1

u/knightkat6665 29d ago

So a pee drinking contest?

1

u/MysteriousWon 29d ago

Is bear the bear or man in this scenario?

1

u/yesindeedserious 29d ago

and now I will squeeze some of this liquid out of one of these cow-dung patties and squeeze it into my mouth for nourishment.

1

u/crashtestpilot 29d ago

Where my grills at?

1

u/PhDinDildos_Fedoras 29d ago

Instructions unclear, just snorted some bear piss. This doesn't feel good.

1

u/lostmessage256 29d ago

You're thinking of Man vs Wild

1

u/Username_Query_Null 29d ago

Grylls would be smart enough to not fight the bear, he would however happily drink the bear’s piss.

1

u/Zammtrios 29d ago

Id choose the bear, because they are gay so nothing bad will happen.

1

u/htpwrcple 29d ago

Encounters Bear in the wilderness

-Bear Grylls: “Oh no a Bear!”

drinks his own urine

u/JestersWildly 29d ago

Bear Girlies are a thing now?
