Grizzly gets the bears lost in the deep forest to test whether or not they have lost their survival instincts in the modern world.
Tropes:
- Apathetic Clerk: Grizz drives up to a burger restaurant while fighting with Panda and Ice Bear in the car. The employee at the window is a deadpan woman who translates their unintelligible roars and growls into an order, and doesn't bat an eye when Grizz pays her.
- Alternate Identity Amnesia: Neither Panda nor Ice Bear seem to remember what went on in their hunger-induced feral states, Panda asking what Grizz is talking about when the latter asks if the two are okay once they're back to their normal selves, though somewhat subverted, as a note saying "sorry" is left on the car, though it's unknown if Panda and Ice actually knew what they where doing while they were in their huger induced feral states, or if the note was an apology for the damage done to the car.
- Art Shift: Just before Ice Bear goes primal, he is staring at his paws, which turn from Fingerless Hands to a more realistic style with visible claws.
- Bears Are Bad News: In a state of hunger, Panda and Ice Bear become this. Hilariously, after the campers tell the story of a demon-bear, Grizz runs in and they just remark that it was anti-climactic. Then, the campers run when Panda and Ice Bear rush in.
- Be Careful What You Wish For: Grizzly brings his brothers out into the wilderness, to become "real bears" as nature intended. The lack of food eventually drives Panda and Ice Bear into an animalistic state, attacking each other and Grizzly.
- Blank White Eyes: Panda and Ice Bear get these when they turn savage.
- Brief Accent Imitation: When the bears are out in the wild, Grizzly says "and survival" in an Australian accent to imitate the "Badger in the Wild".
- Contemplating Your Hands: Ice Bear looks at his paws while hungry, and they briefly turn into realistic bear claws.
- Drives Like Crazy: Grizz trying to drive the car to the fast food drive thru, and by the end of the episode, the car is so damaged that the bears leave a note saying "sorry" on the car.
- Fishing for Sole: Grizz tries to catch fish in a lake with his bare paws, but all he finds is garbage.
- Foreshadowing: Why is Grizz the only one by the campfire on the poster? Take a look at the background and what are those mysterious figures with ears that are behind the bushes.
- Ghost Story: A camper is seen telling a story about a demon-bear. Shortly afterwards, Grizzly runs past, underwhelming the other campers (who think it was staged as part of the story). Then the feral Panda and Ice Bear rush in and scare everyone off.
- Horrible Camping Trip: Grizzly drags his brothers into the woods completely on a whim and tries to "rough it", with little or no thought or prior planning. Naturally, it goes very badly.
- Hypocrite: Grizzly, the one who forced the bears into the situation in the first place, is also the first to cheat and steal food from civilization.
- Magic Countdown: The 20 second ad for Badger in the Wild takes significantly longer to play out.
- Major Injury Underreaction: Although Ice Bear's eyes widen when he starts getting bit by fire ants, there are many all over him and all he says in his normal deadpan tone is, "Ouch."
- Meat-O-Vision: Panda and Ice Bear start to hallucinate that a tree is actually a frozen yogurt dispenser.
- Nature Is Not Nice: The episode is kicked off by Grizz taking Panda and Ice Bear into the woods, deliberately getting themselves lost to "be one with nature". This results in the bears getting attacked by ants, and Panda and Ice Bear nearly starving because Grizz can't pull up any fish in a polluted lake.
- Sanity Slippage: Panda and Ice Bear start to lose it when Grizz is searching for food.
- Shout-Out: The video Grizz planned to watch in the beginning of the episode is a reference to baby sloth videos.
- Take That, Audience!: In-Universe: The ad for Badger in the Wild openly antagonizes the viewer for depending on modern comforts and not being able to live in the wilderness.
- Throwing the Distraction: Grizz attempts to distract the campers by throwing a pine cone, but they are too focused on their cell phones to even notice.
