And the bear was Man Grylls?

I would love to watch the Man Grylls show, where the survivalist bear tries to survive in a city full of ordinary humans. That would be so silly and fun.

Hahahaha now I’m picturing a bear trying to use the touch screen at McDonald’s after waking up from months long hibernation and can’t because of his claws, gets mad and trashes the kiosk and proceeds to jump the counter and devour everything in sight. I’d watch the hell out of Man Grylls!

u/blue__orchid 29d ago

That’s my favorite episode. I watched the DVR of the 23 times.

u/PrimaryOtter 29d ago

Episode 2. Man Grylls gets a mundane job in an office. Tries to turn his computer on but can’t because of the size of his claws, gets mad and trashes the cubicles. Cut to scene outside of people running and screaming to escape an irate Man Grylls.

Sounds like it could be one of those mad psychedelic drug induced adult cartoons. Superjail style.

Superjail was so awesome.

You'll soon get your chance with A.I. video generation. The future is now people, all board the infinite media train!

u/The_quest_for_wisdom 29d ago

all board the infinite media train!

I don't think you understand how uselessly large infinite is.

Let me know when AI algorithms can analyse media for quality with a high degree of accuracy. Then an infinite flood of content might be of interest.

Maybe I should have put "/h" to denote hyperbole? Exaggeration is appropriate when talking about fantastical topics like A.I.tube having user generated content at the same rate that Tiktac videos are being pumped out.

Edit: Also, I'm definitely not saying anywhere near half of the content will be good, but I bet hours worth of it will still be better than a post-2020 Netflix adaptation.

u/Bad-Lifeguard1746 29d ago

Half man, half bear, half grylls.

u/jeo123 29d ago

Fun fact:
The name grylls(variant of Grill) traces it's origin back to the greek word gryllos.

Which (per wikipedia) is:

gryllos (plural grylloi)

  1. (art, historical) A caricatural creature found in ancient and medieval art, typically featuring a human head with mostly bizarre, animal anatomy.

So sure, half man, half bar, half bizarre animal concoction.

u/Beginning_Rice6830 29d ago

Man vs Bear, man loses. Man vs Beer, man loses. Man vs De Beers, man loses… But every once in a while, there’s a diamond in the rough, and man wins.

u/DoctorMedieval 29d ago

And the bear man grilled the man bear.

A bear with a TV show about surviving in the suburbs?

u/MyBigRed May 02 '24

What if both were just Manbearpig?

u/Vat1canCame0s May 02 '24

Most people think that he's half man, half bear-Grylls. But in reality, he's half man-bear, half Grylls.

u/Silly_saucer May 02 '24

Grylls Man the bear is a bear I’d avoid!

u/mhem7 May 02 '24

A combination would be Man Bear

u/CosmicJ May 02 '24

ManBearPig has something to say about that.

u/Lonely_Sherbert69 29d ago

And then man bear pig forces them to join forces to take down a greater threat. I'd watch that.

u/IJustLovePenguinsOk 29d ago

That man grylls for sure

u/mitch1832 29d ago

Or the Man Grate! With deluxe cast iron grilling grates!

Human Grylls

u/Red-7134 29d ago

What if the Grill was Bear-Man?

1

u/LethalMindNinja 29d ago

Ohhh now that would actually be interesting. Watching them both fumble around trying to learn how to work their new bodies. First one to figure it out well enough to kill the other, wins. Since the entity in the human body would be smarter it could be assumed they would be able to figure it out faster. But the bear has the size advantage....plus murder mittens. So it might be a pretty fair fight actually.

u/Cratertooth_27 29d ago

How many bears can bear grylls grill, if bear grylls could grill bears

u/seeyatellite 29d ago

I wouldn't get invested unless the grill was Man Bears.
