Leading our journey through the Big Apple is Tom Trudeau as Bear Grylls. The real Bear Grylls is known to have a screw or two loose on screen, and Trudeau does a wonderful job of capturing the eccentricity of the character as he travels around town. Tom's spot on accent, witty humor and good looks propel this video to a rating of six stars (and that is on a scale of 1 to 5 stars).
While Trudeau's character may have stolen the show, the writing itself should have some recognition of its own. Videos exceeding three of four minutes often have difficult succeeding because it is difficult to keep an audience consistently laughing in excess of two minutes. The writers at SOP, however, keep us laughing for the entire five minutes with witty one-liners. I expect this video to garner many more views, and can help SOP achieve YouTube fame.
Bear Grylls is well known for his death defying antics and his unique accent on the hit adventure series "Man vs. Wild." Thus, it is only fitting that YouTubers across the nation offer their own humorous take on Mr. Grylls. The crew at Stay On Punishment (more commonly known as SOP) assumes the identity of Bear Grylls and takes us on a successfully satirical journey through America's favorite city.
As a fellow Englishman of Bear, I was sceptical about this video to begin with... the accent was terrible, it was a spot-on Australian accent! However you really captured the vibe and expressions of Bear himself and I found this video HILARIOUS! Well done for making it. 5*
"Just 6 months ago, a 24 year old was lost in the city for 2 days before being killed at night. She would have died if it weren't for the police." thats hilarious :D
Holy crap that was great, but you didn't say "disorientated" anywhere so I was kinda disappointed... not really. but overall it was hilarious and one of the best bear grylls impressions I've seen
Brilliant capturing of Bear's idioms and style. Unfortunately the accent is rubbish. :) It's a mix of mostly Steve Irwin (Aussie accent, not British) and only a hint now and again of Bear's particular English accent. Accent: D-. Script and concept: A+. Nice work, Double. Great soundtrack, too. :)
God that was perfect. I swear, if I didn't know any better I'd say it was filmed and produced by the same people that actually did the real show. The waiting outside the apartment, was hilarious, spot fucking on!
Cool idea...I'm sure you live in wild,wild NYC-I'm so jealous! Would you mind setting me up with that bloke in the park? And although you got the accent wrong you still have to honour the effort...Respect!
Well done, but he got the accent wrong. This guy was doing something more similar to an Australian accent that is quite different from the type of English accent Bear speaks with.
I'm planning to shoot a MvW parody so I've been watching a bunch to make sure what I want to do hasn't already been done. This is probably the best one I've watched. It has the feel of the real show down pretty well.
alright, first off if you're going to immitate Bear Grylls and you KNOW you have a cruddy accent, don't even try and please don't try this again...you jack ass.
lol. apart the accent being a long long way off (this sounded like a v posh english guy from oxford, mixed with a bit of the aussie crocodile dundee!!-didnt sound like bear at all) its really funny.
Very clever and well done. I liked how you incorporated different scenes from different episode into your video. The "spoiled teenage girls and boy" part in the part was my favorite.
recently I visited chicago, seattle, l.a. and new york.. (for 2 weeks in N.Y. ) I fucking fell in love with N.Y., but I would never live there. i need someone to man up and say "yes, i live in n.y., i am broke as fuck, poor, and my apt sucks...but i live here ....."personally i live in near Texas...i'm living well...but at the same me in N.Y. i'd be damn near homeless.....its a worthless city to live in.. someone be honest with me.
six months ago a 24 year old was lost in the city for 2 days befor being killed at night she would have die if it wasnt for the police?...lol genieus... does the guy in the show really sound australin tho? The girls out side the apartment was hott... Over all I give this a 5 out of 5... awesome vid man
pretty much hilarious. your accent is great. at first I kind of thought it was a sample of the real Bear Grylls speaking. you never break character which makes this really entertaining.
loved it! The only way you could have made it better was if you got sick off of dirty water. That was probably the funniest moment on the real man vs. wild.
Fantastic! I was hoping you would throw in a bit about following water downstream, using one of the rivers or even the lake in central park, but otherwise, spot on. Well done!
haha. fyi we actually thought about doing that, but it was running a bit long. didn't really want a ten minute marathon. we also cut a scene where we tried to purify the vodka cause it was a breeding ground for harmful bacteria.
This has been flagged as spam show
I can't even think which one is my favorite episode anymore...there are so many! I like anything with Bear Grylls!
