A story so crazy it could only take place in the 80s.
It's the 80s so everything weird stories 80s happens in the 80s
Of course... Cocaine was a big thing in the 80s.
And Appalachia
Damn straight skippy...😂😂😂😂😂
Soon as I saw the movie trailer I thought I could see this happening in TN… didn’t know there was a real story behind it. 😂
James Cameron: Avatar 2 will break all box office records
Bear: Hold my cocaine lol
🤣
Avatar is lame
I heard Av2 is woke.
Avatar going to suck. More than the first
Hilarious!
Who’s here after watching the trailer
MEEEEE!!!😂😂😂😂
You got it! 🤣
Meeee 😅
But i watch the movie not the Trailer 😂
The excitement in the sheriff as he remembered all the partying the department did after that couldnt be contained. He even says it was to good to be true.
They was getting high😂
The trailer bought me here... This is better than I expected😂
You really feel sorry for the bear. He didn't know what it was until it was too late.
Human Error. We are the masters of destruction and have no respect for our environment and Planet.
He sure went out at the top off the world. Think Tony Montana without the bullets. The poor things belly was full off cocaine. I dont know how big a bears stomach is but ffs.
@@bazglsgw1208 "Say hello to my little friend"
@@bazglsgw1208 like berry booby seal dropped a ship load of cocaine into Knox county forest
The way the cop can’t stand still, I’m pretty sure he’s on cocaine
Seems like 300lbs would still be a lot of cocaine.
But 1985 it was more pure
This story reminds me of so many fun times in Tennessee out in the woods.. with cocaine
I known what you’ve done
Yes with your sister
@@sb416 I don't have a sister. Must've been with my mom then...
“That’s a lot of cocaine! I’m still not done with it! Hahaha” 😆
Cocaine's a hell of a drug..."Rick James"
Jimmy JJ Jones looks like he still got some more left lol.
So when you see a movie, know it hardly has any truth left to it.
I can't wait to see the movie!
This is actually terrifying. Not only for the Bear and it's wellbeing but the fact that those that have used that kind of substance know the effect it has
Bear overdid it lol
Id love to find a stash like this 😮
Obviously no clue what your talking about
Shut up
The bear had the time of his life before he died
I graduated in 84. I never heard of this news, when I was a teen. Too busy with high school football back in the day.
Based on a true story
No shit, Sherlock. The whole video is about the true story, DUHHH!
@Johnny Calvino you can't talk to him like that 😂
It’s the cops vibe for me 😂😂😂
For the record, 300lbs of cocain in 1985 was not alot lol
For one man to carry, it was.
he also said at the time it was a lot
Yes it is lol
In 1985 that’s a lot and in 2022 that’s still a lot
A hard weekend for some.
Poor bear.
Wait wait wait...first off...I thought that was Kenny Rogers, but then I recalled that hes dead T
Could you imagine a fully grown bear???
I sure miss the 80s.
When I saw the ad for the movie I thought to my self that's the most stupid concept I have ever heard of 😂
Spotify needa chill with the ads
Is it only me that feels sorry for that poor bear?
No
I do!!
Nah they just kept that cocaine and blamed it on the animal 😂
I was 8 years old in Atlanta in that year.. never knew about this
I was in blue ridge and Georgia for 18 years and didn't hear about it either
Anybody in the know would have been set for life had they found it.
The 80's were 40 years ago... those mustaches are classy! 🤘🤣
It was 30 years ago
Yogi goes to rehab
Kristen Gallant, so happy to see you doing your thing! 👏👏👏
Why is the bear dying so funny to these hacks.
The media has been used over years and years to make the last two generations completely desensitized to death
175 pds for a Bear is not much...Musta weighed over 200 before eating the Coke!
JJ definitely got to the “goods” first before he called the authorities 😊
Powdered Doughnuts Makes Me Go Nuts.
Finally watched the movie man that was crazy I was 1 years old when this happened
That dude, Jones the former sheriff.... literally got some of that....look at him, his behavior
Just saw it tonight and found this as reference for what actually happened .. I was 12 when this was going on.. but never heard of it until recently
Jimmy JJ Jones sniffin that pure supply till this day 😂
Exactly what I thought 😂😂😂
This is hilarious and unbelievable 🤣
Oh the 80"s
Of course the Sheriff would be named Jimmy "JJ" Jones.😄
If I found the dude I would have taken the cocaine, leave some behind, and take a huge bag so I can sell it 😂😂😂😂😂🎉
Narcotics cop turned dealer and jumps out a plane. Bear was HIGH...
Will there be a Part 2 for the movie ?
🤔 Hmmmm
Aye, it's called "Come down Bear" 😉
RIP Mr. BEAR...
I think I partied with you at southern rock concert in the woods around 1985...good times bro...see you on the other side 🤙👍🐻
🧸❄️
😂😂 I'm watching it now
Imagine giving cocaine to a panda bear or a polar
Bear
Must have been a baby bear at only 175lb
The only true part of the movie is the bear eating the cocaine...
Heavy
Too much cocaine for a parachute 🪂 😮
Wailing Jennings used to own that bear, the world is on an even keel again
I love bears I wanna see it
Mark Whalburgs should have been in this?
I thought this happened in Georgia. That's what I've read, several times anyway.
It did in like 2 or states already
A good death is its own reward!
Alright Faora
In the 80’s was real cocaine 🎉😅
It's all true I saw it all a happen. I've got one good arm left too prove it.🐻
WTF!. 🤯🤣...
So wha u sayin it was da FBIII smuggling drugs.. dat sound about rite.. SMFH
They are the biggest ones they let out little amounts to arrest people the $ they lose comes back to them when that person is in the prison industrial complex for years and possibly life. People underestimate how much their life is worth and I say this to people all the time.
Jimmy not only did that shit but sold it too I’m sure
Yogi Bear?
To say... everyone involved ...is an understatement
So the bear didn’t kill nobody?
We have smokey the bear and cocaine bear in the woods what's really going on.
Can i get a refund on the brain cells I lost watching the trailer?
Go big or go home 😂
Ole Jimmy J.J. Jones.
I'm sure they tried to charge the bear for the coke.
I feel like Joe Rogan has something to say about this.. You know?? Because it's cocaine and a bear🫣
Funnily enough, I've just been recommended this, after watching a clip of him talking about this.
**I'D RATHER SUPPORT THIS MOVIE... OVER JSUT ABOUT EVERY PIECE OF GARBAGE BEING RELEASED!!!**
True
" pornography hahaha hahaha "
Ol' J.J.'s gonna get some booger sugar and go check the movie out
Justified on FX made made a season similar to this in Kentucky 😂
Yes they did
That isn't the only place that coke was dropped, lol.
Jimmy JJ Jones
I don't know what you broadcasters did to keep your jobs, but it is a downward spiral from now on.
Only in country ass Tennessee 😆 🤣 😂

Coke Kane Bear 🐻 -
Narcotics investigator 🤔

We have a similar story here in Florida ... its Fentanyl Alligator ... he just nodds off and lays there after eating an illegal
Thats crazy shit gators don’t need Fentanyl to go crazy they already are
Haha 😂 good one .. we just need Florida man wrestling Skunk Ape.. that's the Florida version of Bigfoot
Wow the movie Cocaine Bear has a free promotion on a tv news telecast..Or it was a paid tv reporting 😜🤪
African American bear*
That made me "snort laugh"...

Ok h1tler
You mean black bear?
Remember Gen Z…Garth Brooks killed this bear or Two Bears… Recognize with your mental athleticism..Tom said you will gladly give me $2073.45 per month which him and I concluded would work to start my company and that if successful…
I owe $69 per week back to him for ETERNITY.
That dude talking was pretty cool I like him l😆😋
