ANY commercial with Bear is fine with me. If every single commercial featured Bear, I would love commercials.
 
Except when the ad-people completely waste his presence!! Angry
 
First of all, the new commercial features the supporting actor- an overweight, bearded schlub- way too prominently. He gets like 28 seconds of screen time, leaving Bear with a fraction of a second total. Shocked WTF??
 
Also, Bear doesn't even get naked in that fraction of a second. Which would be hilarious, b/c in nearly every episode of his show, he strips down for whatever reason b/c it's usually imperative in certain survival situations Tongue
 
Before you guys complain that there's no reason for Bear to get more screen time: Many guys have "man crushes" on him, whether or not they want to admit it out loud LOL
 
Just when a company had a shot at appealing to women (who often do a lot of the shopping for their S.O.'s) they completely blow it. So even though I love any ad with Bear, I hate that it's only for a split second.

I hate this guy too.  His "survival" show is bullsh*t, and I doubly hate him because he will just randomly eat bugs and crap on it for the gross-out factor.  I wish a giant tarantula or a lizard or snake would eat him.  Stupid British peckerwood.

Granted, Les "Survivorman" gets mad props for not only going out there alone, but doing all the filming and (I think) editing.

But Bear is no slouch. He's a former paratrooper and member of the Foreign Legion. He's got skills and an impressive resume. The way I see it, why *should* he risk his life alone out there for the sake of a show? His TV job is still a job- he's got a wife and kids at home.
 
Survivorman covers the nuts and bolts and nitty-gritty of survival; Bear does a more entertaining version of survival. And now, he integrates his camerapeople into the show, although I think that kinda ruins it a bit.
 
Both shows have there place, no need to be hatin'.

The man named one of his sons Marmaduke.  And he drank his own urine on Man Vs. Wild (my nephew was watching it one night, really!!!  LOL)  I can't get behind that!

No big deal, I'm sure that many guys named Duke are really Marmaduke.

Yes, he drinks his own urine, to demonstrate that it is indeed one way of getting fluids when no better sources are present. Beats dying of thirst! I would imagine..... Dead He's done worse.
 
Anyway, he's one of the few hot men on TV. I can forgive his minor flaws......

If he did the commercial with no clothes on, it would be better. So, so much better..... Embarrassed

Aleen - drinking his own urine isn't even the worst. One time he gave himself an enema because the only water he could find was too filthy to drink and would make him throw up....so he gave himself an enema to hydrate. THAT was a weird-ass (no pun intended) episode.

"weird-ass episode" LOLBWAHAHAHA!!!!
 
Glad YOU mentioned it- I was afraid to! Everybody hates Bear enough as it is!
 
Maybe we should start a petition: Bear must appear naked in ALL commercials. And he must re-shoot all his OLD commercials w/o clothes on Big smile

Wow, I already thought this guy was the epitome of douchiness...This post just solidified my belief tremendously.
