WJW Fox 8 Cleveland does a ridiculous story on a bear in a lady's backyard

[beckalee87]

As a news reporter, I hope to one day do a story this epic.

[mrfayge]

this has to be a joke

[2time74]

This is what it looked like ... Except real

[GreenGretel]

I would actually start watching more local news if it was always this hilarious.

[ItsadventureGuy]

She was surprised that a bear was in the woods,idiot

[stargazer21989]

@ItsadventureGuy Bears are actually really rare in Northeast Ohio, so it is surprising that a bear was in the woods!

[beefcakepantieho]

it would look like this.... except real

[BlackSkullArmor]

Not sure if trolling or run out of budget

[meowmoobaa4anime]

I love how the bear expert has never seen a bear

[Shadowz41]

Whoa, that bear recreation looked so real!

[thegreatbeliever]

Just found out it's true--wtf? Google: "Todd Meany Report Voted Best of 2009"

[HeffernanProductions]

this can NOT be real.

[stargazer21989]

@HeffernanProductions it's true. I saw it with my own eyes on TV :-\  Another reason Cleveland is the butt of all jokes haha

[punkhermit]

"except, real..." lol!!!!!!!

[VideoGuyNC]

Wow! And I thought our local news channels were cheesy!

[shilatttt]

this is what the bear probably looked like except real

[Stealthkiller93t]

Wait, is that a black bear.

Nope it's just Chuck Testa.

[sarahlikesfun1101]

Where's chuck testa when we need him?

[Elementl19]

this town is sad...

[xxxElegatorxxx]

Nope! Chuck Testa!

[kzawadzki88]

115 people dont have a black bear cutout at home :(

[JDR50xx]

lol she did anything to get on tv

[alcoholicferrets]

I died. SMH

[ChewbaccaAguilera]

"But this is what the bear probably looked like....except real. " Thanks for that. I can't really tell the difference between a real bear and a sheet of paper.

[candiemandie19]

SERIOUSLY????? THAT WAS ON THE NEWS???? WTH IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE THESE DAYS!!!!

[sh0wbiz]

@candiemandie19

It's obviously fake you naive cunt.

[TheAlphaDogz]

Laughed my ass of at the recreation

[starofthetube]

0:54 so thats how bears climb trees



[arinlares]

Did anybody else shit their pants when they saw that re-enactment? It was so good!

[cranberries866]

A BEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­ help me help me i'm only a little mousy

[alexmonia]

BLACK bear.

[ChiefOodumpow]

"we still have 10 seconds left"

"close up on the bear!"

[blackpeopleee]

troll bear.



[memlarryboy]

I smell an Emmy award.

[flairmonkey]

My brother lived in Vancouver, he opened the door to get mail one day and a bear was sitting on his front porch. This lady is ridiculous.

[Ansalo]

I live in Alaska, and this confirms my suspicions that the rest of the country is a giant collection of babies.

[cranberries866]

@Ansalo YEP...AGREE

[BuffaloWarrior7]

Ive seen a pomeranian scare a black bear away. Sure if its with its cubs or if its cornered get the fuck out of there but if its walking through your back yard don't call 911 or animal control unless its in the process of mauling someone or is stuck.

[leshark]

In other news a man was seen in neighbourhood gardens disguised as a cardboard cutout of a bear.

[THEFLETH]

Really... REALLY!!

[Hamhaxx]

"i'm good. i'm uhhh faster than a bear"

wtf

[mrwida]

Damn!! its a Manbearpig!!

[SmartKeitai]

Scat. I don't think it means what she thinks it means...

[snailhands]

@SmartKeitai Scat is feces dumbass.

[SmartKeitai]

@snailhands It was a joke. Look up other slang definitions of scat.

[cranberries866]

@SmartKeitai scat is SHIT boul movement..Do Do..anal excretion...dookee...stanky stuff...it's brown at least most of the time and it comes out of your hind end....do you understand what it is now...? HA HA HA HA

[grandlars]

I found bear scat!

[CoronaMage]

Black bears are tiny!

You stupid bitch!

Go outside and see how it reacts!

It's not likely to attack you, and if it does, you have a very good chance of fucking it up.

I weigh 155lbs, and I've seen many bears in my lifetime.

90% of them were pathetic. They run before you get the chance to say hello. They few who stay are children and are simply curious.

You have more to fear from a bee than a black bear!

[rooroo1988]

I didn't know bears could levitate up trees

[StudioOAS]

I'm good. I'm uhhh, faster than a bear. lol

[DoSomeLaundry]

Now that is new.

[BlimeyGames]

"we are not bear food." I think that's entirely up to the bear to decide o.O

[Leftyloveshuskies]

Humans stupid, TV Reporters even more stupid

[MonsieurRondu]

what? everyone knows the black bears are naturally gravity-defying and walk up trees at 90 degree angles. jeeze guys

[odin422]

IDIOTS

[WhittierRickyBassguy]

Im good im uh faster than a bear, ooookaaaay? RANDOM

[carrrrrillo]

i'm so happy i live in cleveland.

[Tubebenji]

A BLACK bear... keep that fear alive in the suburbs, local media. Love it : /

[iheartlownotes]

that was a solid recreation

[Madhadda]

0:38 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA this is the shit they put on tv??

[Creighster]

Was this a real new broadcast? This is the stupidest thing I've ever seen even before the cutout! lol

[zarawesome]

I am in favor of doing crime reconstructions with cardboard cutouts.

[sehr56]

That is hilarious! I want that hews directors job! I would encourage all my reporters to do stories in this fashion, 'cept maybe, gang shootings. Then again....

[Allikat51908]

Bwahahahahaha! OMG! Never in my life hahahaha a man carrying a cardboard cutout of a bear! Bwahahahaha!

[AshMarksTM]

LMAOOOOO I need that cardboard cut out. Oh and the huge talking bunny.

[maddryoshka]

IM MOVING TO CLEVELAND.

[HikoSeijuroXIII]

I was half expecting for them to show the cardboard cutout of the bear scat.

[TheGoldfather]

hahaha.... I'm waiting for some comedian to jump out. That was probably Todd's first and last shot at being a reporter. I'm crying right now.... a cutout of a bear? Then having a guy make it look like it's moving? oh man, too much

[dolphingirl1205]

lmao XD XD XD

[chipsmccluskey]

Fox 8? Fuck Sake!

[xxshaqattaqxx]

this video is probably Lebron's fault too right Cleveland?

[Cheekapu]

Is this real life?

[Sovietpanda]

Was that squirrel Norm Macdonald?

[PurpleM70]

Oh lord Cleveland.... 'hangs head'

[derek8690]

haha oh shit I saw this when it first aired..

[derek8690]

haha oh shit I saw this when it first aired..

[KC1billion]

I'm good... im faster than a bear.

[acidee100]

1:14 Oh this video is priceless

[SuperNuela]

is this for real????

[localcrew]

This is where all those years of Journalism School really pay off. Big time.

[kelleyandnat]

this is what the bear would have looked like...except real.

[Shounenguy3]

An animal in my backyard?

Shut.

Down.

Everything.

[jmerridew124]

That's bearly news at all.

[chewyboy051]

I'm good im uhhh faster than a bear.

[Isaacbean]

OH MY GOD....bears exist. Dumbfucks.

[MrPrivateTiger]

Lmao random guy in a rabbit suit xD Trust Fox News to do this xD

[Earthshine6]

Only one reason why I have absolutely NO respect for Fox 8 "news" in Cleveland. Clevelanders wonder why they are the butt of so many jokes? How about a cardboard cutout and an interview with a life-sized woodland creature? Ridiculous.

[MyXcs]

LMAO..."This recreation identifies how witnesses say the bear escaped into the woods."

[camiotron]

fucking americans 

[MacGrub3r]

@Guekoooo Haha Cleveland news stations are nationally recognized as one of the top cities for news. You are obviously misinformed and can't take humor

[marielledelaine]

PEOPLE, if there is a bear in your FORESTED yard, go inside for a while till it goes away. that bear has every right to be in the damn forest. gosh! i'm glad the news shed some humor on the subject.

[PAFaieta]

pfft.. and bears sh*t in the woods.

[pcarlisi]

Thumbs up if you want to see this auto-tuned!

[kgriggs75]

LOVE IT.

[tlws86]

Are you serious? The "running" of the cardboard bear makes that reporter look like a moron. Either he needs to stay off the air or they need to give these people more money to keep them from using cardboard instead of real video.

[MacGrub3r]

@tlws86 Or maybe you need to understand humor. It was obviously a farce.

[bnisawsome]

please tell me this is a parody or satyr...

[culwin]

@bnisawsome It might be a satyr - those live in the woods too.

[bnisawsome]

@culwin haha, yep just realized i used the wrong 'satire'. unless my comment was meant to be deep and ironic...

[orgenoburt]

except real. wow guys thanks for clearing that up!..

[LostTomorrows]

Must have been a slow news day.

[Selkirksettler]

Hear the one about the two hikers who came across a sign saying beware of bears.

One hiker took off his pack and started changing his hiking boots for a pair of runners.

The other hike asked, do you think you can run faster than a bear?

Nope, just faster than you!

[snowaks]

I can guarantee someone on the camera crew air humped that bear cut-out after they wrapped.

[starrtwist10]

i'm good. i'm, uh, faster than a bear.

[joshlawrencejazz]

Wow!

[TheHaloHax]

Lmfao I've had a bear come In my house and steal a bunch of food haha and I didn't get on the news!!!

Lmfao at the bear escaping

[TheYangomcfrisky]

"This is what it probably looked like, except real." Uh, yeah... Thank GOD we are not bear food

[Xeidasx]

LOLOLOLOLOL LOW BUDGET ON CARING

[MrRick8467]

thats sum heavy shit...fox8 resulting to cardboard cutouts?!!

[sunnysunflowerable]

do we really need a cardboard reenactment to see that a bear escapes into the woods and possible climbs trees..LOL!

[jamescboyd]

...except real.

[scarface980]

@Guekoooo dumb faggot he sucks and so do yu

[randomb0b123]

itd be even scarier if it was a black guy in theyre yard

[jydoYMR]

lol @ cardboard cutouts

[Chuckiegoodactor]

Awesome.



[Chuckiegoodactor]

Awesome.

[jessops666]

Just come to north jersey

[porsche714]

[PhatJesus13]

I hope to god this wasn't really broad casted. They embarrass humans everywhere.

[bboyzjimmy1]

where is The Onion logo?

[DeathNoteFreak000]

@bboyzjimmy1 LOL

[WeezeeLn13]

...was this legit on TV? haha

[heytracy]

Actually, there are people living in the bear's back yard. What do they expect when they build houses in the woods?

[choxyregal]

Why didn't she just say Bear Shit. I haveBlackbanned the word SCAT. So nobody use it ever again

[Danowar1990]

GET OUT OF THAT BACKYEARD BEAR

YOU DO NOT BELONG IN A BACKYARD YOU ARE A BEAR

YOU DONT EVEN OWN THE PROPERTY

[TheVideoAnalyst]

Pretty much sums up Cleveland.

[jehcrazyjehcmy]

WORST NEWSCASTER EVER

[goodapplesdope]

@jehcrazyjehcmy todds pretty good newscaster nuff. nuff.

[beckalee87]

@jehcrazyjehcmy I think you mean BEST

[IntoTheNightBand]

What an epic recreation. They certainly had the fluidity of the bear's movements down pat.

[sunkist12341]

what the heck is up with the cutout....?

[JackyMissEllie]

...why in the hell did he think a cutout would be a good idea...??

[drew10981]

This is what the bear probably looked like, except real.

[jackel193]

ha wtf there's bears in my backyard like every week

[Conatedog]

I had no cool Cleveland was this cool.

[trp11078]

except real.

[biomechanicalclone]

I was once chased through the woods by a bear. Ok, it was a reporter who was animating a cardboard cutout of a bear. At first I wasn't scared, but then he squatted and I saw bear scat. Eventually I put on a rabbit costume and I was able to outrun him.

[cathiesixx]

This is probably what the bear would look like. Minus the cardboard. Well, 'cause, you know. It's a bear.

[goodapplesdope]

fox 8 > everyone else due to them actually liking there jobs and joking around :P

[jmmc17]

he's like the carrot top of reporters with all these props

[gigglexsnort]

This... is a joke?

Dear god, please tell me this is a joke.

[ARURTOREYES]

Why would this be news.

[comedyguy1262549]

LOL

[keeeruuuh]

HAHAHAHA the rabbit. "i'm good...i'm uhhh faster than a bear."

[Erutan409]

Was this guy trying to get fired?

[formless777]

What can I say, very LMAO.

[USEPartyPeople]

we kill bears where we live because it ruins corn crops

[Dominataaa]

I swear at 1:38 he says "fuck sake news" lol

[stoopher]

Why not just show stock footage of a black bear? Also, when he says, "...too short of a time..." I think he was confused. Did she want the bear to stick around and terrify her some more?

[cursedswordsman]

I lost it at 1:13. The hell?

[gunguy009]

This, is why I love Ohio.

[Metarract]

"Except real" You can hear the contempt in his voice. The tone that says, what the hell am I doing. I should be reporting that murder case.

[thomasrisk]

Slow news day in Cleveland...

[zigzigerblat]

They are amazed because bear was considered to be all but extinct in most of Ohio let alone Cleveland for a very long time. In the 90's sightings took place on the borders and in the country. Now we have bear sightings close to the city. Nature is reclaiming Cleveland. One day we will be like Angkor Wat. The most crazy part about the story is the reenactments of the bear escaping and the guy in the rabbit suit.

[beccanortonl]

I'd be embarrassed to have to tell this story on the tv.. lol

[JudgeSK]

oh give me a break...a bear, big deal, this was newsworthy?

[beccanortonl]

@JudgeSK you... apparently it was . lol...

[kokaneeking420]

I saw a deer yesterday giving me a dirty look, who do I call at fox to get this exciting and nationally relevant story covered?

[nofatlip]

A bear scats in the woods, lulz

[nakunatta]

Was this actually real? I watched Faux 8 news my whole life, living in Northeast Ohio....I can not believe that this is real. i can't.

[nakunatta]

0:56 lmao

[boricuaboy24]

Bears, Beets, Battlestar Galactica

[a91Wmedic]

This is such a rediculous news cast.... But its SO funny!

[peterfgilbey]

what the fuck is this shit?

[skippy5650]

i watched this one morning.... gotta love that educated, high tech ohio!

[Wildcard1992]

What The Fuck?

Is... is this... real?

[XxZpain13xX]

jesus christ i remember watching this one morning eating cereal, i was laughing soooo hard milk came outta my nose.

[AnnabelLloyd]

lmao 0:38 - 0:44

[easysmash69]

this is hilarious!

[Nerisrath]

OMGWTFBBQ CHEEZBURGURZ!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the "Mistake on the Lake".... May the Cuyahoga River burn forever.... FLAME ON!!

[A7XzSidewinder]

What is this I don't even.

[anyastar]

What the fuck is wrong with these people? I mean...shit, they didn't have any stock footage anywhere that they could've used instead of a cardboard cutout carried by a fat guy? And a dude in a bunny suit? WHAT? Were they all high? Let's reenact a bear climbing a tree! THIS IS SERIOUS NEWS.

I can't stop laughing. I can't breathe.

[XxZpain13xX]

@anyastar living in sandusky, OH... you see lots of funny ass stories on fox 8

[DuckVader64]

of corse itis cleveland lol

[JTrainDowntown]

I saw this when it was an actual broadcast. I couldn't believe my eyes. I mean, it's one thing to see it on YouTube, but when it comes on your TV... it's extra amazing.

[Gazzlo]

HAHAH omg. They need to travel... even just a little past their neighbourhood...

[Badfish5447]

so we know a bear scats in the woods, but should we be worried
