As a long-time follower of the television industry and having seen my fair share of debates over categorizations, I find myself leaning towards understanding both sides of the argument when it comes to “The Bear.” On one hand, the series does have its fair share of comedic moments that make you chuckle, especially with characters like Richie Jerimovich and Uncle Jimmy. On the other hand, the heavy material and tension-building moments are undeniably present, making it a challenging watch at times.
Despite being highly popular and critically acclaimed, FX and Hulu’s restaurant-focused series, The Bear, has sparked a significant debate among critics and viewers. Created by Christopher Storer, the show is labeled as a comedy by organizations such as the Television Academy, but many argue that it doesn’t quite fit into that category. Instead, some prefer it to be classified as a drama. This controversy has even extended to the point where an SNL alum recently voiced their criticism of the show. However, TopMob has released a video highlighting the series’ comedic aspects that many find hilarious.
Laraine Newman, a longtime actress and comedian who once graced the original Saturday Night Live stage, expressed her thoughts on social media (previously Twitter) prior to the 76th Emmy Awards. The Jeremy Allen White-led show ended up winning four awards that night. In a post since removed (later captured by Deadline), Newman was straightforward in expressing her displeasure over the critically acclaimed series, currently streaming on one of the top platforms, being categorized as a comedy.
Each time I contemplate ‘The Bear’ being nominated under the Comedy section at the Emmys, a sense of indigestion or discomfort seems to grow within me.
After that incident, the former star of “Coneheads” didn’t stop there. Later on, she expressed her frustration by tweeting, “Oh, my goodness! The BEAR!!!” (repeated multiple times), following the show’s achievement of breaking its own record for the most wins in a single season for a comedy. However, she also posted another message on X, where she praised the FX production as “a great show” in her opinion. Nevertheless, she maintained that it wasn’t a comedy – not even a dark one.
In a more relaxed and conversational style,
The show, focused on food, could be characterized as a blend of comedy and drama, offering both laughter and serious content. Whether the lighter or heavier aspects dominate is subjective, but the video presented (available above) demonstrates that the series does contain comedic elements. From Richie Jerimovich’s feuds with Carmy Berzatto, Neil Fak, and others to Uncle Jimmy’s witty remarks, there’s humor to discover, and our video offers a small sampling (with no intended pun).
I must confess that I’m quite fond of this dramedy, but I can see why people might argue about its classification, as it often leaves me pondering its genre. To be fair, the series does have humorous moments, but it also tackles some serious subject matter, to put it mildly. Moreover, there are instances when it becomes quite intense, with scenes that build up tension through high-energy sequences. (I’m guessing many viewers are still recovering from episodes like “Review” in Season 1 and “Fishes” in Season 2.)
Regardless of all the noise surrounding it, the cast and crew of The Bear were still able to secure Emmy wins in 2024. This past Sunday, Jeremy Allen White took home the award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series. Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Liza Colón-Zayas also won, with Moss-Bachrach earning his second consecutive Outstanding Supporting Actor award, and Colón-Zayas receiving the Outstanding Supporting Actress award. Christopher Storer was recognized too, as he won for Outstanding Directing. The show racked up seven other awards from the Creative Emmys as well.
Nevertheless, our show didn’t receive the award for Outstanding Comedy Series this year. Instead, it was “Hacks,” another fantastic comedy series by Max, that took the prize. Interestingly, Laraine Newman, the mother of one of its leading actresses, Hannah Einbinder, is associated with this well-deserving production.
As a die-hard fan, I’ve got to say that the ongoing debate about whether “The Bear” – coming back for Season 4 – falls under the “comedy” umbrella isn’t exactly a surprise. It’s understandable given its unique blend of drama and humor. But hey, don’t forget there are some genuinely hilarious scenes in this show that aren’t just limited to what you saw in our video. To catch those laugh-out-loud moments, all you need is a Hulu subscription to stream the series. And while we’re at it, mark your calendars for 2024 – there are some fantastic comedic shows lined up then too!
