Smart, funny, raw, tense, warm but not sentimental and, most of all, real. Mark your calendars, clear your schedule. Trust me on this. I see a lot of TV for this job, and I don't find myself feeling the way I feel about this show terribly often. I can think of only a handful in the past few years that have hit me this hard, have made me want to shout about them from my virtual rooftop: Hacks. Severance. Girls5evah. Ramy. We Are Lady Parts.
The premise: Carmen "Carmy" Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White) is a young wunderkind chef at one of the world's finest restaurants. But when his brother (Not Gonna Tell You The Actor, It's A Surprise) dies by suicide and leaves the family's greasy-spoon sandwich joint in Chicago's River North neighborhood to him, he dutifully returns to run it. He's grieving, and clashing with his sister (Abby Elliott) and with the restaurant's staff, which includes his brother's abrasive best friend Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach).
When Carmy hires a Culinary Institute of America-trained sous chef (Ayo Edebiri) to help him run the place, the staff resents them both and resists the changes the two attempt to bring to raise the level of the place's food.
What The Bear is, more than anything, is naturalistic, grounded; I'll say it again: real. Oh sure, there are stylized touches of the surreal, in the form of dreams, panic-attack visions, etc. It's Prestige TV in 2022, baby; that stuff comes with the territory.
But the thing that made me lock into the show is Edebiri's performance as Sydney, the ambitious sous chef with big ideas and the ability to see through Richie's abusive demeanor. She's just so good here, confident and assured enough to weather the staff's distrust even as she works to win them over.
Ditto a turn in the final episode that ties a too-tidy bow on this place, these characters. Satisfying? Sure. And you can't say the seeds for it hadn't been carefully planted. But where the best endings manage to feel both surprising and inevitable, this one's just surprising.
Still: Those are quibbles. (Here's another: When you hire Abby Elliott like this series did, you should use Abby Elliott more than this series does.) The Bear is a show that's generous to both its characters and to its audience. It's funny but never jokey, moving but never maudlin.
Funny describes something that causes fun, especially laughter. Funny can describe someone who is trying to amuse others. It can also describe someone or something that is suspicious or odd. Funny has a few other senses as an adjective and a noun.
Funny describes something that is amusing and causes people to laugh. Something that amuses people without causing laughter is usually said to be fun rather than funny. For example, a roller coaster would be called fun, while a knock-knock joke would be called funny. If something is not funny, it is unfunny.
Funny also describes someone or something that is suspicious or underhanded. You might use this sense when you think something dishonest is going on. The phrase funny business is used in this sense to refer to criminal or unethical activity.
Have you ever hit the inside of your elbow in just the right spot and felt a tingling or prickly kind of dull pain? That's your funny bone! It doesn't really hurt as much as it feels weird. The "funny bone" got its nickname because of that funny feeling you get after you hit it.
But your funny bone isn't actually a bone at all. Running down the inside part of your elbow is a nerve called the ulnar nerve. The ulnar nerve lets your brain know about feelings in your fourth and fifth fingers. It's also one of the nerves that controls some movement of your hand.
You get that funny feeling when the ulnar nerve is bumped against the humerus (say: HYOO-muh-rus), the long bone that starts at your elbow and goes up to your shoulder. Tapping your funny bone doesn't do any damage to your elbow, arm, or ulnar nerve. But it sure feels strange!
People sometimes mention the funny bone when they talk about their sense of humor. Maybe you've heard someone say that something "really tickled my funny bone." We'll leave you with a joke and hope that it tickles yours:

Vaudeville tradition holds that words with the /k/ sound are funny. A 2015 study at the University of Alberta suggested that the humor of certain nonsense words can be explained by whether they seem rude, and by the property of entropy: the improbability of certain letters being used together in a word. The philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer posited that humor is a product of one's expectations being violated.
Vaudeville words can be found in Neil Simon's 1972 play The Sunshine Boys, in which an aging comedian gives a lesson to his nephew on comedy, saying that words with k sounds are funny:[1]
Richard Wiseman, a professor of the public understanding of psychology at the University of Hertfordshire, conducted a small experiment to determine whether words with a k sound were actually considered funnier than others for English speakers.[4] His LaughLab tested the degree of funniness among a family of jokes based on animal sounds; the joke rated the funniest was also the one with the most k sounds:
A 2019 study presented at the International Conference on Machine Learning showed Artificial Intelligence (AI) could predict human ratings of humorous words. After collecting humor ratings from multiple people on 120,000 individual words, they were able to analyze the data using AI algorithms to identify clusters of people with similar tastes in humor. The words with the highest mean humor ratings were identified as "asshattery", "clusterfuck", "douchebaggery", "poppycock", "craptacular", "cockamamie", "gobbledegook", "gabagool", "nincompoops", "wanker", and "kerfuffle".[6] This study not only found that AI could predict average humor ratings of individual words (and differences in mean ratings between women and men), but it could also predict differences in individual senses of humor.[7][8]
Robert Beard, a professor emeritus of linguistics at Bucknell University, told an interviewer that "The first thing people always write in [to his website] about is funny words".[9] Beard's first book was The 100 Funniest Words in English,[9] and among his own selected words are "absquatulate", "bowyangs", "collywobbles", "fartlek", "filibuster", "gongoozle", "hemidemisemiquaver", and "snollygoster".[10]
Some words are humorous not necessarily because of their pronunciation, but because of the absurdity of their own meanings. One such example is "centicameral", which would refer to a legislature composed of 100 branches. Its humor derives from the conceptual ridiculousness of such a governmental institution.
A 2015 study published in the Journal of Memory and Language examined the humor of nonsense words.[11][12] The study used a computer program to generate pronounceable nonsense words that followed typical English spelling conventions and tested them for their perceived comedic value to human test subjects.[13]
The idea that humor can be predicted by a word's entropy corresponds to the work of 19th-century German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, who posited that humor is a product of one's expectations being violated.[12][14] According to Westbury, "One reason puns are funny is that they violate our expectation that a word has one meaning".[11] Violating expectations corresponds mathematically to having a low probability combination of letters, which also makes the word seem particularly funny, according to Westbury.[14]
