Okay, we didn't see this one coming, but it kind of makes perfect sense — The Bear has been turned into bizarre video game by a group of fans, and the show's wider community of followers is reacting in a major way.
With The Bear season 3 now reaching its bittersweet ending — having invested in its characters along the way, whilst managing to avoid a certain romance being forced in — the impetus is now on fans to make their own fun, while they wait for the show's future to become clear.
One such fan is a chap named Michael Kandel, who took the social media site X (formerly known as Twitter) to share the utterly hilarious video below.
This, if you couldn't tell, is a fan-made parody project that imagines what a particularly deranged video game version of The Bear could be like. Take a look!
From the deadpan dialogue («So, what's your generational trauma?») to the weirdly chilled vibe of «No Rush mode», this video game version of The Bear looks like it could actually be a lot of fun.
The video has 2.5 million views on X at the time of writing, and fan reactions have been pouring in over the past day or so.
One viewer said: «I'm not the same person i was five minutes and thirty-seven seconds ago».
Another added: «how do y'all make this?? like the skill and creativity?»
«This is legit incredible,» said one fan. Another simply posted: «W.T.F did I just watch?»

«Already played the prequel. Still have PTSD», said another fan, whilst sharing a screenshot from Overcooked.
There are no shortage of cooking games out there (and Overcooked is one of the best), but we can't think of another kitchen-set game with panic attacks, freaky flashbacks, floating heads, a 'resting heart rate' health bar, and feral Chicago dogs.
