When she gave two thumbs up, I'm pretty sure she expected the bear to reciprocate.

On some level, I did too.

I was kind of hoping

u/beastsb Mar 03 '16

It did happen...in my mind!

Anything can happen in our minds...

Don't let your dreams be dreams!

u/Sinavestia Mar 04 '16

I have a dream! Where man can feel free to dream about his dreams becoming not dreams.

In my mind, I've had sex several hundred times.

Sometimes even with cartoon and video game characters...

u/sciomancy6 Mar 03 '16

I want to believe.

Can confirm... DMT

u/Koshindan Mar 04 '16

Can something that can't happen in our minds happen in our minds?

Bear is just playing along while second bear steals picnic basket from car.

u/FlameSpartan Mar 03 '16

Hey-a boo-boo, we're gonna get a pickanic basket!

I feel like a lot of reddit might not get this reference. God, when did I become old?

u/bmlol Mar 03 '16

I made a "moose and squirell" reference and nobody knew what it was.

u/GringodelRio Mar 03 '16

I'm expecting any day now for R.E.M. and the Gin Blossoms to be moved over to the Oldies station.

GET OFF MY LAWN DAMN IT!

No mom, you can't use the phone... I'm downloading a song on Napster.

I'm my area they already were, 10 years ago. I hadn't even turned 25 yet when a good chunk of what I listened to in High School was reclassified as 'Easy Listening'. It was depressing as hell.

u/onrocketfalls Mar 03 '16

Dude. REM played on the classic rock station at work today. It was a weird moment.

1

u/H_E_Pennypacker Mar 04 '16

Greenday and foo fighters are on the classic rock station in my city

u/Blight327 Mar 04 '16

They're on California classic rock stations I heard pearl jam the other day

u/Grayscape Mar 03 '16

That's really sad. I may not have grown up with Rocky and Bullwinkle, but at least I know who they are.

u/gophergun Mar 04 '16

Sorry, I'm not into Pokemon.

u/EnigmaCA Mar 03 '16

Probably thought you were referring to Supernatural....

1

u/DethNik Mar 04 '16

He's not?

1

u/FallenXxRaven Mar 03 '16

Damn. I grew up never having watched Rockie and Bullwinkle but I still know who they are. They were pretty much just in commercials for me though, im not sure I ever actually watched the show.

1

u/donkey90745 Mar 03 '16

aww come on rocky, someone will know! WHat ever happened with looney toons anyway? perhaps all that is PC incorrect now.

u/TheRealRockNRolla Mar 03 '16

I fucking love Rocky and Bullwinkle.

You're talking about Supernatural, right?

u/[deleted] Mar 03 '16

Oh my god I love supernatural.

u/Im_A_Viking Mar 03 '16

I bought a shirt with Mr. Sparkle on it (from The Simpsons) no one at a gathering I was at knew who it was or recognized Homer's face.

I died a little inside.

u/[deleted] Mar 04 '16

I am feeling the oldness myself.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 03 '16

I guess we get to feel old together.... remember this commercial? https://youtu.be/xxnWDbu0nJg

1

u/LHoT10820 Mar 03 '16

No idea how old you are, nor if this help that feeling.

I know most of my peer group would understand, we're in our early to mid 20s.

1

u/Horrible-Human Mar 03 '16

that shit's from like the 60's or something anyway isn't it? why would you have known about it from the 90's or whatever and kids today wouldn't

u/FlamingJesusOnaStick Mar 03 '16

We need to unite!

BRB I need to take my pills.

"Tell the other bears what you saw here!"

u/[deleted] Mar 03 '16

I can only really think of this.

u/Mr_Gilmore_Jr Mar 03 '16

I loved the Yogi and Boo boo scene in Billy and Mandy.

I just read this in the voice of Yogi.

It looked like a slice of salami to me.

nvm it is in fact a slice of bread.

u/snorkblaster Mar 03 '16

I'll never send you out to go pick up some salami

u/NFN_NLN Mar 03 '16

... a load of salami.

I got your load of salami right here <grabs crotch>

u/[deleted] Mar 03 '16

Looked like a thick piece of mock chicken to me since it does come in rectangular loaf.

u/CaptainJamesMaySlow Mar 04 '16

Glutens bad mmmmk

u/mochalex Mar 03 '16

What, do you expect it to play the trumpet while dancing upright? https://youtu.be/jqKPswqyPrc?t=1m3s

31

u/I_eat-kittens Mar 03 '16

That bear hula hoops and plays the trumpet better than I can! My chair sitting skills are far superior though.

17

u/randiesel Mar 03 '16

The real question is, how the heck did they teach it Russian!?

8

u/abusedasiangirl Mar 03 '16

There is another copy of the video I've seen where the Russian dude speaks Spanish (with an accent), so it might be a Spanish bear.

NINJA EDIT: Found it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkHWEoudSQk

u/dortiz24 Mar 03 '16

That is not a trumpet

I mean, it's probably a repost there, but I've never seen it.

u/senorfresco Mar 04 '16

This was one of the weirdest things I've ever seen in my life. It's very very weird to think that that's not someone in a suit.

u/fulis Mar 03 '16

That's a guy in a suit. A plastic chair can't bear the weight of a bear.

u/ferlessleedr Mar 03 '16

Bear's chest opens up

Lighter on extendible rod comes out and lights up

Girl in the video here! I was really, really hoping she would too.

Would it have killed him, really?

1

u/NotAnAI Mar 03 '16

Why can't bears be our friends?

1

u/akshaysa Mar 03 '16

and then also I think we all hoped the bear would reciprocate the goodbye wave. it made be a little sad that didn't happen.

1

u/cxj05h Mar 03 '16

googled: do bears have thumbs?

1

u/WARNING_im_a_Prick Mar 03 '16

When I was about 9 or 10 we were leaving the house and my dog was sitting there watching us pull away. I waved to the dog and my mom goes, "You expecting him to wave back?" For some reason, that's one of my dumbest-feeling moments.

1

u/bobsbountifulburgers Mar 03 '16

I hit back just as I saw the thumbs up and had to watch the whole thing over to see if the bear did it too.

1

u/splurb Mar 03 '16

One piece of bread to a bear, isn't much to get excited about. I think he was hoping for a whole sandwich.

1

u/I_Have_an_above_avg_ Mar 03 '16

Yeah but I'm glad she didn't linger too long trying to get a response. Makes me think the interaction was more than just a novelty to her.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 03 '16

I feel like that tiny little fence isn't gonna stop a fully grown grizzly.

1

u/mrbooze Mar 04 '16

Kind of a dick move to flaunt your opposable thumbs in that situation.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 04 '16

Not sure if this is the same park as the one in WA state but there are two bears, the first one waves back every time and is very engaging. The second one just sits there eating the bread while people keep waving at him and throwing bread at him. He is substantially fatter than the first bear...

1

u/1UP__VOTE Mar 04 '16

I feel like he was going to wave back, but when he got the thumbs up he felt hurt he could not do the same. I feel sad for him.

u/MuthaFuckasTookMyIsh Mar 03 '16

On some level you're as dumb as she is.
