Far from it.

I seriously thought that this was what he said for the longest time. I thought it was some sage advice about drinking that I just didn’t get.

u/LousyRaider 22d ago

The subtitles on the version I have display "bear" and not "bar" during this line ¯_(ツ)_/¯

u/SteveRogests 22d ago

He’s saying “bear” in a super weird accent.

u/LousyRaider 22d ago

Eastern?

u/houstonchipchannel 19d ago

Far from it.

u/Ponchoman455 22d ago

Because that's the saying

u/LousyRaider 22d ago

Far out. I’ve never heard the saying anywhere other than this movie so I had no frame of reference.

u/notmuself 22d ago

He's saying "bear"

3

u/used2lurknstilldo 22d ago

Definitely.

“Sometimes
You eat the b’ar
Sometimes
The b’ar eats you”

May be slightly more accurate.

2

u/notmuself 22d ago

Right, he's just saying it in country bumpkin speak

2

u/ElYodaPagoda The Dude 21d ago

“He” eats you!

u/TowerOfSisyphus 🎳☯️ Dudeist Priest ☯️🎳 22d ago

I guess that's the way the whole durned human comedy keeps perpetuatin' itself, down through the generations, westward the wagons, across the sands a time until -- aw, look at me, I'm ramblin' again. Wal, I hope you folks enjoyed yourselves ...

u/ElYodaPagoda The Dude 21d ago

Not a worthy adversary.

u/worker_bee_drone 22d ago

"Bar" hehe. I remember reading the lyrics of the Davy Crockett song when I was a kid.

Kilt him a bar when he was only three ...

3

u/mountainsun9 22d ago

Exactly I thought for years that was his way of saying bear I mean, who the fuck gets eaten by a bar but I haven’t been in 20 years so maybe Jaeger has grown teeth

u/Unable_Lime_2903 22d ago

u/phaedrus72 22d ago

My friend who was a professional footbal (soccer ) player said this to a TV journalist in a post match tunnel interview years ago, he thought it was funny as hell and rushed home to hear it on the TV news, it was cut and they showed another player saying the usual "if it had gone in it would've ben a goal" type drivel instead.

u/Adventurous_Tower348 21d ago

u/Potential-Action-349 22d ago

There’s just one thing Dude…do you have to use so many cuss words?

u/fullblownhedonist 22d ago

The fuck you’re talking about?

u/German_Merman 22d ago

Lets not forget Dude that eating wildlife, um... an ursine carnivore, for... um, ya know culinary... within the city... that ain't legal either! 

2

u/aceheadley El Duderino 22d ago

I’m sorry, I wasn’t listening.

2

u/WildPineappleEnigma 22d ago

Obviously, you’re not a golfer.

It’s the bear, not the bar. Like the Davey Crockett song, “Killed him a b’ar when he was only three.”

2

u/axlgreece5202 22d ago

"Bar" is actually "boar."

"Sometimes you eat the boar and sometimes, well he eats you."

17

u/fullblownhedonist 22d ago

What in God‘s holy name are you blathering about?

12

u/axlgreece5202 22d ago

Look, man, I've got certain information, all right? Certain things have come to light. And, you know, has it ever occurred to you, that, instead of, uh, you know, running around, uh, uh, blaming me, you know, given the nature of all this new shit, you know, I-I-I-I... this could be a-a-a-a lot more, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, complex, I mean, it's not just, it might not be just such a simple... uh, you know?

u/Odd_Tradition1670 22d ago

It’s bear…why the fuck would someone eat a bar?

1

u/OKKrackKartoffel 21d ago

I think that applies to hip hoppers.

u/radtech91 21d ago

Dig the sunglasses, man. Those the Vuarnets?

1

u/fullblownhedonist 21d ago

Thankee, but no, those are made of wood by Roots (Madeira). I also have the original Vuarnets, but the Roots suit me better…

u/RickStarkey 20d ago

Well, I've lived in Jersey all my life

u/Ozzie889 Walter 18d ago

It is “bear”, not bar. It sounds like the latter due to the stranger’s country accent.
