* MemeticMutation - Bear's ExtremeOmnivore habits.
** "This is a great source of protein."
** While drinking one's own urine is a (flawed) survival tactic if you're in a place with no clean fresh water, a number of pictures on Memebase among other places put him in situations where he seems to be doing it for no apparent reason at all. To wit:
*** "Sun's going down... better drink my own piss."
*** "Can't find way out of Wal-Mart. Better drink my own piss."
*** "Lock keys in car. [[WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer DRINK]] [[{{Flanderization}} OWN]] [[InsaneTrollLogic PISS]]."
*** "Just drank my own piss. Better drink my own piss."
*** "Finally found fresh. Add packet of powdered piss."
*** "Unable to urinate. [[FridgeLogic Better drink my-]] [[OhCrap Oh God.]]"
*** "Out of piss. [[TakeAThirdOption Drink Cameraman's piss]].

* NeverLiveItDown:
** Grylls is very well-known for drinking his urine on the show. Fortunately [[http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/124/300/grylls.png?1305692743 he's a good sport about it.]]
** The infamous "wild horses", which has been used frequently by detractors of the show mocking it's {{Kayfabe}} setup. Similarly, there's the "bear" attack scene and the reports of Grylls staying at a five-star hotel while filming.
* {{Squick}}: Intentional.
* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9B1BA19645AD05B9&feature=plcp This LP best demonstrates why]]
* RuleOfCool: Some of the things Bear does are more to look cool or be badass than to be actual advice - such as being pulled off the ground on a rope by a helicopter in order to reach the Carpathians.
