Men vs. Wild

I don't usually watch Man vs. Wild although I have caught a few episodes. That Bear Grylls is one crazy mofo. Haha! I heard that there was a special with Will Ferrell called Men vs. Wild, which aired this past Tuesday. It was supposed to be hilarious, so I DVRed and watched it last night. It was actually really funny, like laugh out loud funny. Will and Bear makes a great duo. They went to the artic tundra of Sweden where it was supposed to be -50 degrees. And they had to hike to another point to make their chopper pick-up the following day. When they first got to their destination, Will and Bear had to propel down 30 feet from the helicopter. When Bear told Will they had to do this, Will didn't crack a joke at all. He just looked scared. But they were able to do it with no real issues despite Will screaming for his mommy several times. When they got to the bottom, Bear gave Will some supplies plus a twinkie in case of an emergency. While Bear went off to check out their surroundings, Will immediately ate the twinkie, half of which was supposed to be for Bear. Haha! How the hell is one twinkie supposed to save anyone out in the wilderness, let alone two grown men.

I have to say Will is so cute. Not "hot guy" cute, but like "cutie pie" cute. He is so out of place in the wilderness. He looked clumsy at times. Even when he basically fell face first into the snow, he made a joke and said he just wanted to lie down and take a break. Haha. Adorable, right? And Bear got along great with Will. He was mindful of Will and took care of him the whole time. They happened to find reindeer remains left by poachers, and the head was the only edible part left. (My husband thinks that was set up for them.) And Bear volunteered to eat the gross parts like the eyeballs and give Will the "better" parts. Will tried part of the socket and jaw. He actually thought the burnt jaw wasn't bad. It was an entertaining hour of TV. Unfortunately, I cannot find the full episode online, but I found a couple funny clips here and here.
