As beloved as The Bear – FX and Hulu’s restaurant-centered series – is, it remains at the center of a major debate. Christopher Storer’s brainchild is classified as a comedy by the Television Academy and other organizations, though many argue that it doesn’t warrant that distinction. With that, many would prefer that it be placed in the drama category.
A number of people have been vocal about that, with an SNL even alum recently blasting the show in the process. With all that said, CinemaBlend put together a video that shows how hilarious the series is. Veteran actress and comedian Laraine Newman – a member of the OG Saturday Night Live cast – took to X (formerly Twitter) ahead of the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards, where the Jeremy Allen White -led show ultimately took home four awards.
Via her since-deleted post (which was captured by Deadline ), Newman didn’t mince words when describing her feeling about the hit series (which is on one of the best streaming services ) being pegged as a comedy: Every time I think about ‘The Bear’ being in the comedy category for the Emmys I can feel an ulcer developing. The Coneheads alum wasn’t done after that, as she later tweeted “FUCK. THE.
BEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” after the show broke its own record for the number of wins in a single season for a comedy. Despite that, she did share another post that’s still on X , in which she said the FX production was “a great show IMHO,” yet she still asserted that it’s.
