#the bear is a comedy

[goddessxdivine]

tired of the narrative that this show and its actors don’t deserve recognition for their comedic abilities so I’m gonna start reblogging gifsets/clips of this show that are comedic

What? No, no. Orwell, Vermont.

saw someone on twt say they’re tired of JAW winning awards in the comedy category and it disrespects real comedic talent … raise your hand if you’ve been personally victimized by “is the bear a comedy” discourse?

love a mean girls reference lol but in all seriousness, to me, the bear is a comedy similar, but not identical, to the way shameless was considered a comedy. the easiest way to explain is basically what Joshua Jackson said when asked “is the bear a comedy?” at an awards show last year (I wanna say it was the Emmy’s , it’s on Reddit for sure).

i can understand wanting to call it a “dramedy” because there are serious situations that happen (grief, anxiety, depression, family trauma, etc) and there’s quite a bit of yelling between everyone but to ignore it being comedic is …. not it

there are little things said and done by everyone in almost every episode that’s funny. i think people expect to be laughing every few seconds or full on belly laughing as if they were watching standup or a sitcom (even then good sitcoms like Modern Family, Parks and Rec, etc have a lot of heart). but that’s not what the bear was ever meant to give.

like sorry but let’s not act like “everyday, Jeffrey ballet?” (Tina) or “duh! duh? duh! duh? don’t say duh! DUH!” (Nat & Carm) wasn’t funny. or “of the place? is that what you think mis en place means?” this shit is funny. you may not be cracking up with tears in your eyes but you can laugh. through all the chaos that happens at the bear, those characters are still regular people and people say funny shit that makes us laugh even in serious situations, dare i say especially, when things are serious. like very “laughter is the medicine”

Are we getting Carmy in therapy?

The last trailer had us believe he was in group therapy, this trailer had none of that. So maybe in ‘Apologies’ he finds himself with a mental health professional which inspires him to think about apologizing or am I being too optimistic.

Youre laughing. Sugar Berzatto just asked her mom if she was alright and youre laughing. Tell me you didnt grow up with a suicidal mom without telling me you didnt grow up with a suicidal mom.

I made this comic back in 2020. It is, unfortunately, even more relevant today than it was back then, and it's only been 4 years.

It is actually fascinating

I have watched comedies where they make fuck up things seem light and funny

How is that in The Bear the comedy serves to make the fucked up situations feel even more fucked up?

The combination of Carmy being too focused and trapped in returning to a more toxic version of himself to care about his birthday + that piñata and Richie singing in Spanish is peak The Bear. Most comedy ever.

"the bear isn't a comedy" okay so explain this comedy gold

something about carmy yelling "GET SYD, GET SYD!!" in the walk-in but getting claire instead and breaking up with her is so funny. and then upon realising he's making dishes based on syd's bandana, that somehow motivates him to take a trip back to the walk-in to try and fix his relationship with claire. but then he fails? 😭
