BBC Comedy - Misery bear

Misery Bear is a series of web shorts from BBC Comedy. These depressing and soul crushing videos of a sad little teddy bear's life are just hauntingly bleak. You can scoff about even feeling sympathetic towards a stuff creature but the people pulling the strings of this lovable guy really know how to tell a simple story of loss and hopelessness.

There really isn't all that much to it, It's just the sad story of a stuffed little bear with very little going for him, the videos are accompanied with fabulous song choices like "Lost Cause" by Beck or "Brick" by Ben Folds, Songs that really set a sombre mood. It seems auto biographical for a number of viewers which is why he seems so human to most. I guess the reoccurring theme through-out Misery Bear is isolation and loneliness.

Most of the time I just want to reach into my computer screen and give Misery Bear a big ol' bear hug. Poor little fella...
