Humour is subjective though, if we all laughed at the same things the world wouldn't rotate

*stamps feet* Everyone must give reasons
*some reasons given throughout thread*
I disagree, so your opinion is wrong.

(not @ withano, but in general)

Would you say wit is subjective? I'd say wit has a pretty clear definition. Bears funny in the same way a clown in funny.. As in he makes loud noises, makes others feel uncomfortable and laughs at other peoples expense.. But clowns arent witty. Nor is Bear

Imo whatever.

Wit and humour aren't the same thing though. That's probably why you struggle to understand it all.

Bear out-played and out-performed every other housemate in there by a mile! He, as a single person, brought more to the series than the rest of the housemates combined did.
And as for the people claiming he ''bullied'' people in there.......who the **** did he bully and how ? That accusation is absolute crap! He had far more aggression and nastiness directed at him than he directed at anyone else and even then he handled it very well. If someone had spat in my food i don't think i would have been as forgiving as he was. That was absolutely VILE and Aubrey definitely deserved to be ejected for it.
He antagonised people and wound them up but that's not bullying and if he hadn't gone out of his way to get reactions out of people there would have been very little footage for the producers to make the daily shows out of. He was never malicious or spiteful, unlike some of the others were to him.

I didn't even know who he was on launch night and after seeing him enter the house i thought i was going to detest him (and did for the first couple of days) but once i worked him out and could see how he was playing it it was clear that he was pretty much carrying the show.

It would have been a travesty if he hadn't won. There was nobody even close to being worthy of the win this series. Best CBB winner since Gary Busey imho.

Congrats to Bear on a glorious Win in the miserable face of adversity!!!

Excellent post JTM45.
I agree with it all, also like you I thought I would dislike Bear on launch night then just really was hooked on the way he was playing being in the house.

In my view he just got better too over the series, never letting up.
Again as you said above, actually carrying the show.

Bullying and passive aggressive bullying are the same thing though. That's probably why you struggle to understand it all.

1 million% agree with you, he did carried the show, it would have been injustice if he didn't win, & like you I had never heard of him before.

Antagonising people and winding them up to get a reaction to the point of tears IS BULLYING. If you saw your son,daughter,wife,husband dissolve into tears at his incessant wind ups you might be of a different opinion. Playing a game and carrying a show on those moral grounds does not make him a deserving winner.

That's moving the goalposts isn't it? The OP is pretty clear, name something he did that was funny..wit is something completely different ..
Pieing Aubrey was funny, I laughed at her stunned reaction .

OP asked for something genuinely funny, I took it to mean the inclusion of wit or good timing or hysteria.. Something genuinely funny.. Idk.. One of us read it wrong, could be me, but the way i read it makes nothing here qualify.

Maybe the truth can change the op to "name one thing bear did that withano thinks is funny"!

But that's just it...the security guard clip showed him up for the shallow coward he is. Bear wasn't funny at all...it was only funny because we laughed AT him..not with him...big difference.

[user104658]

Nothing he did in isolation really made me laugh. The effect he had on the others, was funny. The effect he had on TiBB was side-splitting .

Gotta agree with this, though I did LOL a few times through the series (at Bear, and at others) but those clearly weren't funny enough for me to remember actual moments

Good summing up TS,

[empire]

farting in the big brother diary room, and calling frankie a pussy cat, and it was funny when renee was always shouting at him, he always had that silly child look on his face when renee ranted at him,

[y.winter]

The only funny thing with bear was him ****ting in his pants when he saw the security guy in the DR. His persona crushed into pieces.

[the truth]

I didnt find a single solitary second of him funny..hes the bore fo the century and he is a bully too....throwing food around the house, smashing windows, shouting over people, deliberately keeping people awake at night ...genius? considering the corrupt producers gave him 24 hour coverage for 3 to 4 weeks , his sum total of hilarious moments is pitiful...id get funny moments filming my cat for half an hour and he doesnt waste food either

[alex_front2]

Another thing Bear's done that's funny? He wore this to look posh and posed (think someone is desperate to get a modelling contract)



What a saddo.

[Daffodil]

Bear doesn't 'do' funny. At all.

[alex_front2]

Judging from the hms Katie was funny but was edited out until her wow breakdown.

[alex_front2]

The weird thing is Bear is funny on EXOTB both series #3 and #5, and is the arguably the most popular character.

Putting the pie in Aubrey's face will always be iconic

I must have missed it

Name one funny thing any other housemate did?
