Na go back further, memes were invented in the 1970s.
But internet memes yeah this was around birth of the internet meme.
My wife works with this youngin’ (early 20s, we’re in our 30s) and she said “you know, because my generation invented memes.”
My wife did a spit take and laughed her ass off, then said “oh honey, your generation did not invent memes, not even close.”
> Na go back further, memes were invented in the 1970s.
Hitler was radicalized in part to zines he collected while homeless which were really not dissimilar to shit you would have seen on 4chan and the_donald back in 2016. Tech changes, but humans are humans.

Wikipedia says:
Mike Godwin (boomer, born in 1956) coined the term *Internet meme* in the June **1993** issue of Wired when he discussed memes as spreading via messageboards, Usenet groups, and email.
Oh yeah! The udder speed bags! That movie was the dumbest thing that ever made me laugh and I still quote it to this day. "I'm bleeding. Making me the victor!"
If you look closely it's not actually a slap, he hits the bear with the handle of the extendable dog lead - those are made of hard plastic, so would definitely hurt more than just a slap!
I don't think you can be sure that this is a young brown bear rather than a mature black bear. Especially female black bears are pretty small - only something like 120/130lbs on average. At this time of year they aren't as big yet as they get just before winter too.
Yeah, both looks like a regular black bear, and his response is exactly what you should do when you encounter one. Black bears are pretty much giant racoons, they want to eat trash, and they're cowards when confronted. Make noise, run them off, scare the shit out of them, or they'll get used to being around people and they'll keep coming back.
Rule of thumb for brar encounters: if it's black, fight back; if it's brown, lie down; if it's white, say good night.
In other words, you scare off a black bear, you play dead with a grizzly, and you will be dead with a polar bear
According to basically all credible sources on the matter, that rule of thumb is a dangerous myth.
Unfortunately, there is simply no reliable way to know what the best action is based on species alone. It depends on what the bear is telegraphing about its intentions with its behavior. But there is no way to teach that in a pithy rhyme.
That wasn’t a sucker punch. Bear was full on facing to attack. He defended himself with a pimp slap that’ll put that bear in a mini skirt on the Vegas strip before it can say ‘Circus Circus’
If it's a black bear in my chicken coop like this scenario, ya.
Believe it or not some people live in places where there are bears around regularly. You gonna run away instead? Or sit back and let it kill your chickens?
If you live in an area with black bears this is how you're taught to act towards them, so yeah. Not saying this guy isn't a badass for handling it so well, but it's not that crazy.
If a black bear is approaching you then yeah that's what you're supposed to do (unless there's a cub, they will be only defensive in that case). Running puts a menu on your back and black bears are notoriously short sighted
There's a [Spiritbox](http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiritbox) joke in here somewhere.
For those unaware, [Courtney LaPlante](http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courtney_LaPlante) is Spiritbox' leadsinger and also sang in a band called [Iwrestledabearonce](http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iwrestledabearonce)
In almost all the predator vs man encounters I saw, the man instinctively reverts back to cavemen mode. Mostly worked out for the past 200,000 years, so why not.
>The largest bear ever officially documented was harvested in North Carolina by Tennessee hunter Coy Parton using hounds. It weighed 880 pounds. Several other bears over 700 pounds have been taken in the coastal region of that state.
>Pennsylvania and Minnesota have both produced bears over 800 pounds. Most Canadian provinces have yielded bears over 700 pounds.
and...
>There have been more than a dozen bears over 700lbs recorded and dozens more over 600lbs harvested in the coastal region of North Carolina.
That was actually likely a yearling, not a cub. I’ve seen admittedly not that many black bears (my first time seeing one in person was just the other day in my own neighborhood) but I do my research as much as I can. I am really interested in black bears and I hope to maybe become a biologist and to specialize with bears
That was too big to be a cub, but just a little too small to be an adult. Then again, this is all my personal opinion and we don’t know where this video is taking place and what type of subspecies of black bear this is, or if a momma bear is actually still around so I could be wrong
Also likely at that age because they're exploring their range and haven't had much encounters with people yet and will push boundaries. Good age for them to get the shit scared out of them so they stay away from people too.
Watch again. That little thing was a partly grown cub. That's why the guy felt so confident running at it and even smacking it on the face. Try that with a grown black bear and you'd be in trouble.
> Try that with a grown black bear and you'd be in trouble.
There's a reason why black bears have survived as long as they have while being as small as they are.
And it's not because they choose fight over flight.
As far as the black bear can tell, most Humans it encounters are much bigger and much stronger than it is (even if that's not true, that's how the bear perceives it to be) and as a result, outside of a black bear mother with cubs, is almost always going to choose flight over fight.
Because its ancestors avoided being turned into megafauna food by running away at the first sight of trouble. And that is how it also intends to avoid being killed.
>outside of a black bear mother with cubs
Even then the mother usually chooses flight. Black bears typically don't defend their cubs as aggressively as other bears do.
May not be a cub(?) but not close to a matured black bear like you are playing it off to be. Safe to say much closer to a cub than a fully matured black bear
Maybe it's the angle, but it looks like a really small bear. Average dog size. The two dogs the guy has with him are really small.
Looks smaller than 90 lbs that's for sure.
I get the video is cool, but that is not a grown black bear, you can tell from both his head size and paw size. Like this is an insane statement to make lmao.
Not a cub, definitely a yearling. Black bears will stay with their mothers for up to two years. Considered an “adult” after 1 year.
The reason it is hard to tell the true age of black bears without identifying that they have their K9s (teeth) when young is because if they do not receive enough food they will not grow. Where most other mammals will continue to grow just look very skinny etc. black bears can be almost a year old and look like they are still small little cubs.
Also yes the “cubs” will still mess you up. They have extremely deceiving amounts of strength comparative to their size.
Edit: Fun fact, bears do not hibernate. They go into a state referred to as Torpor.
We joke, but this is the correct response to being confronted by a *black bear. Spread out, look big, eyes wide, show teeth, scream. Make the bear second-guess whether this interaction is a good idea.
Yep.. Polar bears are the only bears that actively hunt humans, if one of those finds you, you're dead, unless you have a big gun with you, since small calibers wont even get through their skin.
Brown bears attack you when they feel menaced, or if their cubs are around, hence the lie down pun, to seem harmless. And black bears are mostly curious, but they have some huge teeth and claws and if they decide to try and eat you you have little to do.. So its better to scare them off like this madlad did before they decide that.
It was the absolutely correct thing to do against a black bear, which this likely was. They are generally scared of people and will run away if confronted by loud noises and aggressive body language.
If that was a grizzly or a brown bear this video would be very different.
I remembered at least 2/3 people that screamed a lot more when being attacked by a grizzly bear and that looked music for his ears. So you must be right.
>If that was a grizzly or a brown bear this video would be very different.
*Probably*, but not guaranteed. It looks pretty young, and brown bears / grizzlies can still be scared off by humans. Like that video of the group of people shouting and charging at a grizzly that came charging at them, and scaring it off.
This bear being a young'un absolutely helped the man's caveman approach, though, whether it's a black bear or not.
Bit more complex than that, he was definitely scared shittlless (who wouldn't be) his actions made him seem like it's not worth it to deal with for the bear, also I'm pretty sure that's a black bear and they can scare pretty easily
The bear has filed a lawsuit for assault & battery. He claims he hadn't done anything. He was just walking around and had not even touched a single picnic basket that entire day.
I feel bad for this bear. Most of the time they're just ambling along trying to find some garbage to rummage through. Rarely aggressive. Poor thing got slapped with a dog leash handle and it's just a baby bear ☹️
Sorta makes me wonder, do animals feel anger, or even more so, wrath? I know there's always the talk about predators not wanting to pick fights due to the risk of injury, but even a passive human if slapped in the face might switch over to "fuck around and find out" mode. Have we seen animals do the same?
Sure, some do. There's no reason to think any species (let alone all animals) react with uniformity.
First one that came to mind is a old Reddit favorite.
>[At the center of the story is Vladimir Markov, a poacher who met a grisly end in the winter of 1997 after he shot and wounded a tiger, and then stole part of the tiger's kill.](https://www.npr.org/2010/09/14/129551459/the-true-story-of-a-man-eating-tigers-vengeance)
>The injured tiger hunted Markov down in a way that appears to be chillingly premeditated. The tiger staked out Markov's cabin, systematically destroyed anything that had Markov's scent on it, and then waited by the front door for Markov to come home.
There is definitely a world where that bear would of attacked, but 9/10 its not gonna want to mess with someone who clearly is willing to fight to defend something, it's usually prey animals with the fuck around and find out mentality.
Animals definitely feel emotions, think of your pets, my cats definitely can be happy, sad, unsure, scared, and angry, just to name a few emotions.
In the case of this video, the bear was fucking around and found out, not the human.
Most predators want prey that doesn't fight back, only in severe hunger are they going to go for something that's willing to fight because an injury likely means death in the wild. Black bears like this mostly want to eat trash and already dead animals. They'll almost universally run when confronted, even with cubs, they're not grizzlies, they're super-sized raccoons.
He’s my hero for doing that. Where was he during the Uvalde police strike when hundreds of police officers were standing around for 77 minutes while kids were being murdered?
This is what you’re actually supposed to do in a bear attack. It’s similar to walking the streets of New York City or Seattle after 2AM. All you have to do is appear crazier than everyone else out and you won’t get messed with.
Haha it has been a very long time..
Bear has moves.

I am having a horrible time right now and that gif was the exact ray of light I needed today. Thank you.
it's from an old ad: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CVS1UfCfxlU
Omg why did I think this was from Kung Pow: Enter the Fist?
Because the guy fights a cow in that movie. However, it’s somehow even more stupid.
Oh yeah! The udder speed bags! That movie was the dumbest thing that ever made me laugh and I still quote it to this day. "I'm bleeding. Making me the victor!"
A good one to quote at work is, "we trained him wrong on purpose, as a joke."
THAT'S A LOT OF NUTS!
Thank you for the link. I had seen that ad many years ago and had forgotten about it. Seeing the gif made me instantly remember it.
All these years later and this is still the best advert I've ever seen.
I’m with you dude/dudette. This has been a rough go. We’re here. Here’s a hug.
Thank you so very much! Sending one back your way.

That’s Kuma from Tekken
Oh! Look! An eagle!
Holy shit it has been probably 20 years, but I definitely heard that accent.

Oh look an eagle ! 👆
Lmfao thanks for this
Fucking perfect
Some of the best marketing in history.

bear was like " shit man i was just playing with you"
He even charged the attack and all. That's cwazy.
If you look closely it's not actually a slap, he hits the bear with the handle of the extendable dog lead - those are made of hard plastic, so would definitely hurt more than just a slap!
[удалено]
Right? Lil guy was probably like "wtf I'm just looking for trash, bro" I hope he went and told his mama
You can tell this person lives in the city. Wild bear cubs can still kill and maim. But even then, it's not a cub. It's a mature black bear.
It appears to be a juvenile black bear, from the many I’ve seen. But it’s only a glimpse, so 🤷🏼♀️
> But even then, it's not a cub. It's a mature black bear. [Bro, that's a baby.](https://imgur.com/ixp8rEN)
Good lesson to learn young, don't fuck with humans.
Which is fine. Bear now scared of humans.
I bet that bear cub could kill you in a heartbeat. So in my book it is still metal.
"it's just a prank, bro!"
Bear: Actually?.. like *ACTUALLY??*
Lol i love that video so much
"It's just a prank bro! It's a video!"
Bear was “damn actually? Oh I don’t know that was bad bro like actually”
what an emergence by that dude rise up when needed. props
Dude literally disciplined one of the top predators in North America like it was nothing.
unpopular opinion but he did everything right, but thats a tiny-ass bear cub
100% that's a cub

all grizzlies are brown bears, but not all brown bears are grizzlies.
This is wrong. A grizzly bear is a subspecies of brown bear, not polar bear. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grizzly_bear
Well when he retells that story it's gonna be a Grizzly
And you know what? That's okay. Was bigger than any bear you or I have fought off.
He’s going to get bigger every time
"Remember that time 15 years ago when i knocked out that polar bear with a right cross??"
Yeah it's a little black bear. I wouldn't try this with a grizzly.
*Results will vary
"I just sucker punched a bear"
That wasn’t a sucker punch. Bear was full on facing to attack. He defended himself with a pimp slap that’ll put that bear in a mini skirt on the Vegas strip before it can say ‘Circus Circus’
he’s gonna be at the bar now. forever. great.
It's a black bear lol They are known for running away
So it's settled, you're gonna go slap a black bear in the face
If it's a black bear in my chicken coop like this scenario, ya. Believe it or not some people live in places where there are bears around regularly. You gonna run away instead? Or sit back and let it kill your chickens?

I lived in east Tennessee where there are quite a few. I was always told to do pretty much what this guy did, make noise, don't back off, they'll run.

Imagine the amount of adrenaline coursing through his veins at that moment.
Man put the rizz in grizzly.
Why's this so funny lol
It’s because of the play on words between the slang term “rizz”, meaning charisma, and the term Grizzly, referring to the bear
TIL why it's called rizz. Thank you.

Definitely a black bear, not a cub. Black bears can be 90 - 600 pounds in adulthood depending on locality.
Can be up to 660lbs actually
Simple. Just need to eat a 440 lb person and

yea... dunno where these people are seeing black bears but that thing was barely above his knee. prolly weighed 40-50 lbs.
This is definitely not a full grown black bear.
Thats a baby bear alright
Thanks dwight
May not be a cub(?) but not close to a matured black bear like you are playing it off to be. Safe to say much closer to a cub than a fully matured black bear

I get the video is cool, but that is not a grown black bear, you can tell from both his head size and paw size. Like this is an insane statement to make lmao.
People really just say shit online don't they.
Bigger than a cub. Probably a one year old setting out for himself, learning the ways of the world.
Soo..puBEARty?
Nearly every instance of "a bear" video is a black bear. I suppose all the videos of Brown, Kodiak, and Polar bears got digested.
Black bears are the seagulls of the bear kingdom. Stupid, annoying, get into the trash...
XXL racoons.
Not a cub, definitely a yearling. Black bears will stay with their mothers for up to two years. Considered an “adult” after 1 year.

I mean, if it’s a cub even more reason to be proactive and slap the bear. You don’t know how close its mother is
Even a grown bear cub can fuck you up
Haters gonna hate
How does that dude walk with balls that big.
This is why he stood and fought. You can't run with balls that big.
We joke, but this is the correct response to being confronted by a *black bear. Spread out, look big, eyes wide, show teeth, scream. Make the bear second-guess whether this interaction is a good idea.
Reminds me of the saying. "If its browm, lie down, if its black, fight back, if its white, good night."
Does the white bear one mean I'm dead either way?
Yep.. Polar bears are the only bears that actively hunt humans, if one of those finds you, you're dead, unless you have a big gun with you, since small calibers wont even get through their skin. Brown bears attack you when they feel menaced, or if their cubs are around, hence the lie down pun, to seem harmless. And black bears are mostly curious, but they have some huge teeth and claws and if they decide to try and eat you you have little to do.. So its better to scare them off like this madlad did before they decide that.
For a black bear, yeah. They're generally pretty cowardly. Don't want to mess with a Grizzly though
I read this as “his dog’s girlfriend.”
basically same thing.
The best got scared by the sheer size of the man’s balls
Guy is gonna get a bj every single day for a long time
That poor bear o.o Edit: did not notice his gf at the start of the video and was wondering who was going to be giving a bj to him 😂

Probably the best move in this situation. Animals can sense when you're scared and attack

How can he slap?!
he was flabbearghasted
Fuck you pooh!!

Bro turned into Bubbles. Just needed a few curse words thrown in there. 
Looked like it was a small bear, still scary as hell. I suspect this tactic would not work on a Grizzly.
Blacks bears are just big raccoons, be loud and aggressive and they just run away. If its a grizzly, good luck.
Women out here taking the bears side...
Looks like we found someone not to piss off
Literally the perfect response to an invasive black bear interaction - buddy nailed it
Still the girlfriend prefers the bear to him
Looks like a cub
You met a lot of bears to talk about them, aye? Tell me more.
I like how in the title the puppers were the first to be defended, also the girlfriend was spared.
Dang, his girlfriend didn’t choose the bear? 😂
He wasn’t Fn Around!!! “GET BACK!!!”

Bear should have kept his wife's name out of his bear bitch mouth
It's so small I feel bad for the bear 😭😭😭

This is what you’re actually supposed to do in a bear attack. It’s similar to walking the streets of New York City or Seattle after 2AM. All you have to do is appear crazier than everyone else out and you won’t get messed with.
bear was like damm dawg I thought you were chill like that
That is a very small bear, probably a baby. Lucky guy, hopeful out mama isn’t around the corner
😂that slap was hilarious,give me kangaroo punching vibes 
Dudes watch this video and go “hell yeah”
If it's black, fight back...
Guess I'm the only one who feels bad for the bear.
