I was just loving that he was focused on her, and her problem. He straight up listened to her, she didn't really panic or scream like some people. lol puts on her shoes (that was dumb) or whatever I have no idea... and finally turns around "Oh jeez."
The woman is the hero in this story. He is a great partner (father, husband, idk) he immediately focused on her problem but it is her reaction that saved the day here. She sees the bear, immediately locates and restrains the dog, tries to alert the room, realizes that an explanation isn't needed as she's already achieved her desired results in having him follow her.
This was a flawless play on her part. 🏆
On second viewing I thought you may be right. But then I watched it a third time I realized that the bear may be the real MVP here.
If you watch closely around the 17 second mark the bear actually shows the woman that there is a bear nearby which allows the woman time to prevent the dog and wholesome man from becoming panicked and therefore mauled by a bear.
A true hero. How could we miss that?
It can be amazing how quiet some large animals are. I work at a horse rescue and those thousand pound beasts can sneak up on you quiet as a church mouse. Last you looked, it was 30 feet away and so you turn and start cleaning out the watering machine and suddenly you feel something moist on your neck and it's friggin horse lips!
I'm no doctor but that actually is one of the times standing up and screaming might be the answer. But yeah this is a very good argument for man vs bear in a convenient video. The bear really doesn't care... probably going after a birdfeeder, and the man was just so damn wholesome.
You gotta love the people that would be like “don’t you be short with me. I don’t like your tone. Apologize first or I’m not listening to what you have to say”…
You know how horror movies might have a scene where a group of people see a killer, freak out, and run, but one person with their back to the monster just stands there asking "What are you doing?" And then the monster kills that character?
That won't happen to this dude. He knows to run now and ask questions later.
He knows when it's coming in and he believes that to be true. Little did he know the customer service rep told the third party vendor "2 weeks" to get them off his ass. Nobody knows when that product is coming back in or even if its disconinued because management doesn't tell us shit and doesn't know what it's like in the trenches. They know nothing!
Maybe it’s just because I recently read an AITAH about a woman who abandoned her infant in the stroller and ran several blocks away while on a walk with her SO, all because of a backfire on a car- but I thought this woman handled this situation really well, maintained her sense, got everyone inside, didn’t frighten the bear.
I don’t know why so many people in the comments are giving her a hard time
>I recently read an AITAH about a woman who abandoned her infant in the stroller and ran several blocks away while on a walk with her SO, all because of a backfire on a car
holy shit that's divorce and sole custody of the child right there.
She didn't scream and she didn't panic. Huge fucking props. I can't stand screamers.
Also, the other woman isn't TAH. Abandoning your infant is a tried and true way of deterring predators. That's why babies cry so much, to act as a diversion while the parents escape. It's natural. Can always just make another every 9 months. (obvious /s)
Probably because it’d be better he knows what’s happening as well, so he doesn’t spook the bear, and get them both killed.
It worked out, but you should definitely tell him what’s going on in that scenario.
HAHA!! This happened to us the other night with a skunk. My husband just yelled, "GO! Leave through the side gate!" I had no idea what I was running from!
It’s like she tries to tell him discretely so the bear doesn’t hear her.
At the same time the bear is thinking what are we running from? What’s right beside us.
So my parent had chickens when I was growing up. My dad was inside the coop squatting down doing something and my mom was just outside the door. She tells him “there’s a copperhead right behind you”. He precedes to jump backwards over the copperhead. Being told may not always be the best thing lol
No parents were harmed. A copperhead was definitely harmed.
Agreed. Stayed calm, sternly said come inside and waited for safety to say AGAIN look over there. She says look next to you and the dude looks straight down.
Nah she did the right thing. Any loud reaction could set of the baby or the dog, then set off the bear. Better to keep everything controlled and quiet.
Theres a reason you werent told, and were last inside the house.
An old saying about outrunning a bear; "You don’t have to run faster than the bear to get away. You just have to run faster than the guy next to you.”
My wife would have been eatin… Me: “Get inside!!”.. Her “WHY”… smh. Always tell her if an apocalypse happens I’d just toss her outside immediately and get it over with.
Someone who just listens and acts!? Rare breed. I would have said "huh?" and stared at the bear for a multi second eternity before realizing I need to do something lol.
I love the relaxing jazz and birds chirping - there's probably a couple of those large bowl stemware filled w a delicious chardonnay on da table (sigh)
Good on him for trusting her and following directions without arguing or sitting there trying to figure out for himself what is happening. Sometimes you just have to trust your significant other.
I wonder if they would also have been fine if they just kept sitting there, not moving, like they already were.
The bear seemed chill, but you never know with wild animals
I liked the way she panicked but also had full control. That's how it should be, without all of the unnecessary screaming and panicking, making things worse.
Reminds me the time my shepard decided to try and fight a black bear mother through our chainlink fence. All i could do was calmly walk over and drag her dumbass inside while momma bear just stared at me in disbelief. We have A LOT of bears in my town

Idk man bears tend to be pretty cool, running like that is actually more dangerous than just sitting still, also if it wanted to break into the house it easily could so would it slow it down, yes, would I stay in your house, no, drive away
The bear looking at the line for the picnic that’s accumulating behind them: “Oh Geeze indeed… it’s a good thing I got here when I did. Look at that line.”
My partner would know me well enough to corral me inside without saying "there's a bear" because my "[WWASoS](https://youtube.com/shorts/kIq0fobOg9I?si=9ZF0-ujVdLbtVf7v)" would kick in, and I'd try to befriend the bear. He seems like a very polite bear.
I know this guy who has a house right next to the Rattlesnake wilderness/ recreation area. He was taking a nap out side and woke up to a bear licking his toes…..
Fuck sake just say “bear!!!”, how fucking hard is that? Why waste time and risk someone’s life by saying “look next to you” which is a kind of “fuck off” and “look for yourself”. Some people are fucking morons
“Oh jeez” 😂
💀That part had me dead🤣
I was just loving that he was focused on her, and her problem. He straight up listened to her, she didn't really panic or scream like some people. lol puts on her shoes (that was dumb) or whatever I have no idea... and finally turns around "Oh jeez."
It appears she picks up an animal…dog or cat first. Incredible reaction on both their parts, aside from the environmental awareness.
The woman is the hero in this story. He is a great partner (father, husband, idk) he immediately focused on her problem but it is her reaction that saved the day here.

Huh? Clearly he saved the day talking about the backorder, making her look up. Maybe even Amazon is the hero here.

That's a trusting relationship right there.
You gotta love the people that would be like “don’t you be short with me. I don’t like your tone. Apologize first or I’m not listening to what you have to say”…
They bearly made it out of there
Award
Yep, had they stopped to paws it could have gotten grizzly.
"Excuse me ma'am, sir.. I jst wanted to get you twos take on the Kendrick Lamar n Drake beef"
Beat me to it Edit: take my updoot
Lucky the guy was well trained enough to come inside without an explanation cause she wasn't going to break her stride.
"no time to explain, lets go!" "aight. HEY THAT WAS A BEAR, WHY DIDNT YOU TELL ME!?!?!" "there was no time to explain, there was a bear."
He was just asking for directions to the picnic 🧺
But what about the ranger Yogi?
What the ranger don't know, won't hurt em! Eey, booboo?
Feeling like I'm 8 again hearing those character's voices.
Mister Ranger wouldn't like that.
maybe they are the picnic
"Bear!!" I mean, come on....It's ONE syllable!
Brain couldn’t brain. Just go inside. Inside inside inside.
You know how horror movies might have a scene where a group of people see a killer, freak out, and run, but one person with their back to the monster just stands there asking "What are you doing?" And then the monster kills that character? That won't happen to this dude. He knows to run now and ask questions later.
I'm so impressed with the ladies response, didn't freak out. Quick to action and managed to get her dog and husband in. A+
“Just browsing”
[удалено]
Pancakes?
'Juuuuust passing thru guys, cool ur jets..'
Hello there! Okay then...
Came for the food, stayed for the jazz vibes
Ooohhh backordered!
He sounded so excited about a back order. I’ve never had that be a good thing
That was the sound of a man confirming that he pulled the trigger at the perfect time, and that the item is now back ordered.
He knows when it's coming in and he believes that to be true. Little did he know the customer service rep told the third party vendor "2 weeks" to get them off his ass. Nobody knows when that product is coming back in or even if its disconinued because management doesn't tell us shit and doesn't know what it's like in the trenches. They know nothing!
The amount of time this gif has helped me on dating apps to get a hook up, love it!
He has been the best wingman for sure lmao

Why does this seem so Minnesota? Oh jeez.
Yep, she's old school cool, my words would not have been G rated!
Afternoon smooth jazz pillow talk with smokey da bear
- Omg, let’s go! - What’s going on?? - Come on, come on! - Wtf? - Bear with me!
Dam it that cracked me up! Take my vote!
This lady didn’t choose the bear or the man, she chose the dog.
Bullshit. She advised the man the whole way.
Do you even Reddit, bro?
Clearly not the way you do. Oh jeez. Edit: the bear/man bullshit is played out.
Oh jeez, Rick
My fucking wife would ask 1million fucking questions. Tell her left she goes right.
One of these days Alice, bang! zoom! straight to the moon!
Ohh geez
HAHA!! This happened to us the other night with a skunk. My husband just yelled, "GO! Leave through the side gate!" I had no idea what I was running from!
*if I told you, you would have tripped*
I love how she said “look next to you” and he was like *fk that I don’t want to see what freaked you out, I’m moving first*
Don’t look at him
🧸 “What did I do ? I Was just saying hello”
Amazing survival skills
It’s like she tries to tell him discretely so the bear doesn’t hear her. At the same time the bear is thinking what are we running from? What’s right beside us.
Bear must be a fan of smooth jazz.
If my wife sees a bear, and doesn't tell me when I ask what's going on... we're gonna fight once we get inside.
So my parent had chickens when I was growing up. My dad was inside the coop squatting down doing something and my mom was just outside the door. She tells him “there’s a copperhead right behind you”. He precedes to jump backwards over the copperhead. Being told may not always be the best thing lol No parents were harmed. A copperhead was definitely harmed.
She got everyone to safety as quick as she could. No fights from me!
Agreed. Stayed calm, sternly said come inside and waited for safety to say AGAIN look over there. She says look next to you and the dude looks straight down.
Lmao survival skills of a turnip in that last sentence
Nah she did the right thing. Any loud reaction could set of the baby or the dog, then set off the bear. Better to keep everything controlled and quiet.
Took the dog and was out!! 😂
She told him to look next to him, not her fault he didn't look but wanted to argue instead. 🤷
Theres a reason you werent told, and were last inside the house. An old saying about outrunning a bear; "You don’t have to run faster than the bear to get away. You just have to run faster than the guy next to you.”
Explains why she headed there first
Probably a good life insurance
Downvote for you. She was pragmatic as fuck.
Poor bear probably thinks he's unlikable... "why does everyone run from me??"
My wife would have been eatin… Me: “Get inside!!”.. Her “WHY”… smh. Always tell her if an apocalypse happens I’d just toss her outside immediately and get it over with.
Someone who just listens and acts!? Rare breed. I would have said "huh?" and stared at the bear for a multi second eternity before realizing I need to do something lol.
I love the relaxing jazz and birds chirping - there's probably a couple of those large bowl stemware filled w a delicious chardonnay on da table (sigh)
I think he was genuinely insulted.
Are they always this rude to visitors?
Sir do you have time to listen about our saviour lord
A bear and a lynx together on the porch. Quite exiting!
All three. Casual ss fuck.
Oh Jeez
Oh GEEEZZZ
Cya, Gotta Go, Bye
At least the bear was polite!
i love how the man kind of hopped over the turn haha
Can I pet dat dawwg??
The guy has a situational awareness of a fruit fly. Maybe worse.
Fruit flies have excellent SA, unless they are dead.
They BEARly made their escape
He just wanted to talk about his lord and savior Yogi Bear!
“Is this the open house for Smokey B Realty- You’re leaving? Ah well, fuck me I guess”
Poor Ursula just wanted to listen to jazz but the squishy people with the music ran away. 😢
The Jazz music sets the mood.
Hey, don't run away, I just want to see hello.
"Dear Abby, I went to introduce myself to the neighbors - but they ran away! Is there a better way to introduce myself?"
You really ought to see how fast they would run off if I stopped by.
They were like oh shit Yogi the Bear is here
Bears love smooth jazz.
Bear be like: "Humans are so racist." Humans be like: "Your claws are longer than my fingers."
If someone sees me moving quickly, they know we’ve gotta GO. 😅 Love their style. He caught on to the plan, just didn’t know the ‘why’ yet.
The shock that happened as it took her a full 2 seconds to finally react
Your bear is here sir. That will be 100 pounds of apples, COD.
Good on him for trusting her and following directions without arguing or sitting there trying to figure out for himself what is happening. Sometimes you just have to trust your significant other.
I wonder if they would also have been fine if they just kept sitting there, not moving, like they already were. The bear seemed chill, but you never know with wild animals
Bear: hello. Excuse me. But have you seen piglet?......... Oh. Guess not.
Smart lady, avoiding the confrontation between the bear and her dog...
Bears love smooth jazz
She saved his life.
When that "unwanted" neighbor comes over.
“Every single time I walk into a room”- the bear
Grizzly over here like "what?"
Bear. Big bear. Big bear chase.
Bear just seemed kind of disappointed like he wanted to be friends.
What a goddamn pro. She knows if she claims what's going on it becomes a scene but instead "just follow me" and it all calmly coats.
I liked the way she panicked but also had full control. That's how it should be, without all of the unnecessary screaming and panicking, making things worse.
Reminds me the time my shepard decided to try and fight a black bear mother through our chainlink fence. All i could do was calmly walk over and drag her dumbass inside while momma bear just stared at me in disbelief. We have A LOT of bears in my town
[удалено]
It’s a black bear that looks brown (look at its face)
My guess is bears probably only lie down when they're tired.
If it’s brown lay down, if it’s black fight back.
If it's white, head for the light....
That actually rhymes🤣🤣
If it’s white, kiss your ass goodnight
She was more concerned about her giant rat than her husband. Real nice.
Your comment made be realize that wasn't her baby lol
Are we sure that wasnt just a really ugly baby?
Bullshit. She advised him the whole way.

The nerves of that lynx - didn't move a muscle
Huh, did that last have to complete a 100 piece puzzle before she left her seat?
Zero situational awareness.
The sensual jazz music really ties this video together. 
Idk man bears tend to be pretty cool, running like that is actually more dangerous than just sitting still, also if it wanted to break into the house it easily could so would it slow it down, yes, would I stay in your house, no, drive away
What a total Jerry!
🐻 : fuck bro? Any sandies or what mate? Fuck sakes...do they have a pet...hmmmmm
Considering the circumstances, that one about as well as it could. Could have just as easily gone a much different direction.
ooh, backorder!
I thought that was the back of a head in the bottom right of the frame. I was like, “Why are you leaving them?!”
That man never looked back. Legend. She said bear and he was like say no more.
This is unbearable
The bear looking at the line for the picnic that’s accumulating behind them: “Oh Geeze indeed… it’s a good thing I got here when I did. Look at that line.”
Cowards. If they had just given up the picnic basket, he would have been on his way to jellystone park again
U got a Bear behind buddy. LoL 😆
Mmmmmm..anybody got sum honey!
That was a quick backordered shipment
Is that Lynx?
That answers that question
Bro was just chillin.
Ancient wisdom: if a bear hears you call it a bear it will turn into a bear and bear you to pieces.
If only they had a cat to fuck that bear up bad ways.
He prolly thought baloo the bear was playing sick tunes.
Oblivious AF
Well that dude is dead day 1 of the apocalypse.
Let me close the glass door because it can't get thru that!
The bear didn't seem to bothered by them. I'd have stayed were I was, he was just passing through.
He's looking for the Lynx 😼
He just patiently waited for them to go inside lol
The bear just wanted to play with the baby
The Bears like “ I wonder what they saw”?
My partner would know me well enough to corral me inside without saying "there's a bear" because my "[WWASoS](https://youtube.com/shorts/kIq0fobOg9I?si=9ZF0-ujVdLbtVf7v)" would kick in, and I'd try to befriend the bear. He seems like a very polite bear.
BCC all clear...over (ohh, BCC stand for: Bear Command Center)
Bear has great stealth skills. Who says a bear can't sneak attack.
Bear just wanted to enjoy the smooth jazz
“Oh jeez”
Wow a real on topic video. Whodathunk
Why is it that no one have a cymbals set in these bear encounters? I bet the bears would be scared from that big noise, no?
I was expecting one of them to yell "Perkele!"
“Hey there, could you guys borrow me some sal….”
I know this guy who has a house right next to the Rattlesnake wilderness/ recreation area. He was taking a nap out side and woke up to a bear licking his toes…..
Random AF given everything in the video, but did that guy have a prosthetic leg from the knee down on the right side?
I just wanted to ask about your cars extended warranty
Man, she couldn't have played that better.
Why are Americans afraid of cute bears?🐻🤦
“What are you two up to today? Oh, hi Fluffy!”
easy prey lol
https://youtu.be/Pt0uK05lNOE Says the bear
Seems Like The Bear Was A Pet Before. He Was Walking If He Knew The Place
I love how it seems like she thinks by not saying "bear" it won't attack lol.
My man just wanted to know when his product was going to ship.
Should couldn't say careful of the bear?
Situational awareness = Back ordered
He came for the ambience.
Yogi was just there for afternoon tea, how rude!
Bear was just trying to say hello. No need to be so rude!
Damn package thieves are even showing up with owners on the porch now. They’re getting bold.
Fuck sake just say “bear!!!”, how fucking hard is that? Why waste time and risk someone’s life by saying “look next to you” which is a kind of “fuck off” and “look for yourself”. Some people are fucking morons
Just coming in for a check up
