I love this movie. Name moments in the movie that had you cracking up but probably weren't meant to. Anybody offended need not comment. I have so many but I'll only write one.
When he's discovered the little fox and he shoos the fly away and says "Not when I'm around!"
Great stuff.
How about when he says "friggen" for the first time, right at the beginning. Thats when you first realise that something is not quite right.
Or,
When his friend is talking about when he used to surf and about his hair and he says "that was the most amazing thing I ever saw." That had me in stitches!
Indeed, great stuff.
I have only only seen I hour of this film but,further to other comments I would agree that Tim seems to be a closet gay. It is very obvious,I feel very sorry for his girlfriend who died, as it was stated that she was scared of bears.QUESTION: Why go and live with a closet gay and loads of wild bears?.This is a very interesting film regarding the nature of Tim and also there are other lessons to be learned. ie; don't try and live with bears(espesially with your girlfriend, and you can't take wild animals for granted),regardless of if your trying to escape or to help them.A very intresting film with an unusal lead character.

Nah. Lots of dudes appear Gay and are straight (John Malkovich is definitely one)
What???? There have been dudes that have fathered grown children, who were gay, and still married - they even still had sex with their wives.
You totally dont understand that comment. Malkovich? So now, an articulate multi-lingual person is considered Gay?
He has an effeminate voice. I feel that way about a lot of people. Ben Lyons and Richard Roeper (both film critics), seem gay to my because of their soft or whiney voices.
They aren't gay though.
Oh gee I wish I was gay! It would be great to be gay, you know, you could just go to a truck stop or a restroom and just, y'know, but I like girls, I like girls, I like girls, y'know I really really REALLY like girls! Mr. Chompy does, too, don't you, Mr. Chompy? They're yummy in your tummy!. . . Amy? Uh, has anyone seen Amy?
shareOh, for frigs sake!! Come on now, I use that word all the time. It's not just an Ontario thing, I know that. There's something not quite right about me, that's for sure, but I don't think it's the fact that I use the word "friggin".
But about the hair-yeah, that was most certainly some funny stuff.
Until they got two people and two bears killed (and who knows how many more indirectly related deaths of bears resulted, possibly by people being influenced to shoot first ask questions later), TT's antics could have been considered comedy gold.

"DOWNEY IS HUNGRY! TABITHA IS HUNGRY!! MELISSA IS EATING HER BABIES!!!!"
"Ghost, give me back that hat! That's an important *beep* hat! If you took that hat back to the den, I'm gonna *beep* explode!!"
"I love you...I love you...I'm sorry...I love you"
"This is her poop! It just came out of her butt! This is her!! This is her life!! She gave me Downey!!"
"This is my friend, Mr. Chocolate"
(while crying) "thank you for being my friend.." <~to the fox.
well, actually the last one made me feel sad for him, but the others were just funny.
Its probably not even cool to be like this. I am so in love with my animal friends.
I cant believe this.
You are a good champion.
He's a big bear......He's a big bear.
Has to be the scene where Tim does his big rant about the park service to camera. Herzog's voice comes in over the rant audio and, while Herzog is trying to calmly philosophize about what Tim is saying, we see Tim marching up and down the camera's field of view firing off expletives and obscene/masturbatory gestures. I thought that juxtaposition was very funny.

"Sorry, but could you please tell me what the word "kabosh" is supposed to mean ??
/UPDATE: Oh, did you mean "kibosh" maybe ??"
I meant to put "kabosh" because thats what the Dad says. Thats part of why its so funny. The dad didnt even use the right word!
Re: Unintentionally funny momentsLove this post. I like the penultimate line.

In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summershare
I found two scenes really funny.
The funniest was when the helicoptor pilot was talking about
Tim and said that the bears left him alone for so long
because they probably thought he was "retarded"
The second was when he went into the water with one bear
and the bear ignored him basically and was walking
out but turned around suddenly when Tim touched his
back. I thought the bear's reaction to that was
very funny.

The whole scene when Timothy was remarking on the beauty of the bear sh!t.

the coroner was really weird. I also liked when they cut to his friend Jewel, and she's got her eyes closed and they say her name and a few seconds go by before she opens her eyes and focuses. Oh and his other friend lost credibility with me bc his intro said his name and then "Actor, Close friend" the actor just kept coming through.
i kinda feel like ima go to hell for laughing at this movie
She'd been trapped and now she was free.
Well...
Freer...
If you squinted.
I totally agree with you about his "actor" friend. His whole speech was just too fine tuned. Like he had practiced exactly what to say, instead of like a normal documentry where the emotion and comments are real.
I laughed at the part when he did his first take of a closing shot and then wait 5 seconds and does it again except he EXPLODES about the forest rangers not helping him. It was just funny because it was like he was thinking "No this take seems to normal, let me go CRAZY!!"
He definately looked skitzo <sp?>
People. Don't you realize that this movie is a HOAX? I saw it when it came out and had a funny feeling in the pit of my stomach. Then I saw it again last night on Animal Planet (3 minutes of show, then 4 minutes of ads, dragging it out to an incredible 3 hours: was Werner in on the profits?), wondering if I could overcome that sense of doubt. At about 15 minutes in, I'd had it. I said it out loud: "HOAX! HOAX!" Someone compared it to a Christopher Guest satire. The "friends" and "family" seemed so scripted and downright weird, with that same spaced-out look in their eyes. It was "Best in Show" with bears. Really - wanting a watch that was ripped off a dead man's arm that was bitten off by a bear. This is disgusting and horrible. But the "girl friend" acted so honored. And who was the weird chick with the braids? There was just too much strangeness going on here. Audiences laughed but felt guilty about it. Well, they laughed because this is a SATIRE, and SATIRE is COMEDY! But WH is such a master manipulator that he purposely jerked people around and made them feel guilty for finding it funny. The so-called recording of the attack never existed: it's a device to tantalyze and appeal to the very worst in human nature. Hertzog knew that people would have loved to actually see them getting ripped apart and eaten. Sort of a horrible gory version of Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color. But the thing is, it didn't happen! That's the key to this. These were actors who had been coached in exactly what to say and how to say it, riding that fine line. I could list probably 50 cases of things that didn't ring true (i.e. when his Mom showed his big teddy, I groaned, but then later at the end they show the same teddy in his tent. Gee, you mean that REALLY WAS his bear? Maybe Hertzog REALLY WANTED US TO THINK SO. SO. . .did TT really die that way? I keep thinking he'll emerge in a few years, going, nyah, nyah, I fooled you, and writing a best-seller about it. Or else he's locked up somewhere, clutching his teddy bear. ("This is Mr. Chocolate!").

I laughed a bit. Im not sure whether the laugh was actually unintentional. I think that parts of the movie were intentionally humourous.

This needs to be bumped a little...
My god, there are to many funny moments in this film but here are some of my favourites that haven't been mentioned already.
- The fascination about Sgt. Brown doing a "number two" during the fight and his discussion with the other bear (Mikey) after the fight about the Michelle Pfeiffer of bears.
- Herzog's comment about Amie appearing in the movie exactly TOOOOOOOOOOOOO TIIIIMES.
- "The dead bumble-bee on the flower that might be sleeping"-discussion! LMFAO!
- "Bear 141, that's all we know of him"
I couldn't stop laughing thru the entire film. It was a film that could have been done exactly the same by the Christopher Guest troupe. This is the funniest movie I've seen in years... retard, kibosh, the bumble bee bit, his terrible actor friend's acting, the pilot-former rodeo, big bear!, the hat, listening to him talk about how easy gay men must have it, his fake accent???, him as an orphan, losing the role in cheers to Woody - being eaten by a goddamn bear! Hilarious.
shareI kept thinking of Christopher Guest the whole time I watched the film, although I do think Chris and Company would have made a more cohesive and less choppy film. I'm amazed at all of the strongly positive reviews Grizzly Man received. A documentary that revolves around the grizzly (bad pun intended) deaths of two human beings really should not cause it's audience to draw comparisons with comedies. But this one most definitely does.
