The Bear is—once again—nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Best Comedy Series. I know there is a lot of discourse about its category, but I find this show funnier than many hard comedies. It also just happens to be a great drama.
Here are 26 The Bear moments I find hilarious:
Fak serving broth by pouring it and then bringing it back into the kitchen to a dumbfounded Carmy might be one of the funniest cringe moments in the whole show. The second he started walking back, I hid my face.
That time Uncle Jimmy learned the entire birthday party of children had accidentally drank Xanax. His reaction to them sleeping was legendary.
When Carmy and Richie fought each other with nothing but a blown-up hot dog between them. Was the baby scared of a hot dog?
The hard cut to Uncle Jimmy and Richie arguing right after he said he wouldn't was comedy gold. Carmy's face between them tells the whole story.
That one time Richie said that any child who puts ketchup on a hot dog is a "child asshole."
More from the birthday party from hell. I can't blame poor Carmy for losing it on people when people like Mr. Szorski exist.
Uncle Jimmy might have the most relatable moment when he's trying to wrap his head around why birthday guests are opening the birthday boy's presents. Kids, man.
Even passed out, Uncle Jimmy, Richie, and Carmy still want to beat the crap out of Pete. I've come to terms that "Dogs" (S1E4) might be the funniest TV episode in recent memory.
One Richie quote to speak on how we all feel about taxes.
That one moment when Richie shows some customers a look behind the curtain, and it's just Carmy and Syd yelling at each other.
Sugar and Pete are quite the power couple. Pete's introduction was perfect.
That time the health inspector responded to "He doesn't look dead," and Carmy replies in the most Carmy way.
"F*cking brunch."
Of all the characters in The Bear, none has more heart than Fak. There could be an entire list of just "Funniest Fak Moments" for each season.
That said, Fak's practice run job interview with Richie is too funny. I rarely side against Fak, but I'm with Richie on the mention of a certain skill.
The altercation got a little physical. There needed to be circus music to accompany it.
The toilet explosion feels like it deserved a freeze frame in the spirit of The Eric Andre Show.
Just when you think Fak couldn't be outdone, we meet his brother Teddy. Their interaction about Fak's memory is priceless.
Syd can't be late. It's impossible even if she tries.
Syd versus the cardboard boxes in the dumpster is up there with any fight in the show. She can't go an episode without being a relatable icon.
Syd reminds us every season why she is the most relatable character in the whole series. A slight flicker of light will do the trick.
Michael gave Tina a taste of what "Beef" life is all about.
Donna and Sugar's mother-daughter dynamic is out of this world. Donna's reaction to her daughter discussing the challenges of being pregnant is quintessential Berzatto family. Challenges like...the excessive shaving of pubic hair...
The "Call Mom!" fight gets as weird as possible.
Poor Fak. I like your ideas and hearth.
And lastly, it wouldn't be a The Bear list without "F*ck you, Garrett."
