Fucking hilarious!

First of all, I want to be there when they review the video:

"Hey Barry, I got the video of the bear attack!"

"Oh, cool, I really wanted to see that, pull it up."

"Check it out..."

"Dude..."

"Bruh..."

"Is that a guy in a bear suit?"

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure it is. It definitely is."

"Listen, we can't make this determination ourselves, we're going to have to get an expert."

"Seriously?"

"Look, if this goes to court, the other side is going to say it's a real bear, and we don't have the legal qualifications to make the determination that it's not."

"Well, it's obvious, but okay, so what do we do?"

"I think we have to show this video to Fish & Game, and get their expert opinion on the record."

"ROAD TRIP!"
