- Опубліковано 13 бер 2021
- After many days in quarantine, VICE's Taji Ameen is in need of a major creative break through. After searching the internet for some answers he discovers that he needs to activate his beast mode. Who better to help him tap into his beast mode than a polar bear and a grizzly bear? Will coming face-to-face with them help him get at least one step closer to becoming a better man?
Thank you Mark, Dawn and Laura for helping Taji get one step closer to becoming a Better Man - www.beyondbearsinc.com (@beyondbearsinc)

Is the fucking definition of dying.o yeah beast mode my ass, that bear is going to go beast mode on you.
@@Lucas.stalcup lol what?
A legendary series indeed.
The man who owns two 800lb bears looks at the pie like it's the most out of the ordinary thing he's ever received.
It's like he was offended that the pie wasn't for him 🥧
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He's high as a kite
Taji's inner beast appears to be a nervous hampster.
I know the way he speaks to other people is kind of cringe
Taji Ameen activated his "pathetic; egotistic; boring mode"
Hahahahahahaha
I love hampsters
It's spelled hamsters...and you guys are mean. Taji is fucking adorable and I love him. You couldn't do what he does.
2:40 When the guy realizes the pie isn’t for him. 😭
he look pissed 🤣🤣
fak 🤣🤣🤣
So glad to see that Ethan and Hila's child has grown up to become a successful UA-camr, too.
LMAOOO wth he does look like it would be their kid
Ooof 😭😭😭
Low key thought you was talking about the bear 😂
So accurate
okay, its all i can see now. i can never take him seriously again.
Plot twist: The bears studied Taji to unlock their beast mode.
Lol
Sawadee! Whos thai?
"and then...the bears learned to be Taji..."
Turtle mode*
Word, Taji is the beast here!
Imagine how awkward it was without the music playing in the video.
LOL i would turned to ash.
i’ve never thought of this now i want to die
he’s the most awkward journalist they have. I love it
brandon Eph...great for comedy.
Have you never seen Thomas Morton’s videos?
@@Tavat He’s by far my favorite but he’s not awkward.. He’s the most bad ass confident SOB out there. Did you see him at the bear gathering with all the gay dudes? He got naked and groped and got groped just to report on the experience, and he’s straight af. That was the most gangster thing i’ve ever seen a journalist do
It’s a honest real journalist. He is himself not a image people want or think they want.
@@BrandonEph I’m dead
Props to Taji for not even blinking when the grizzly was in his face. Now THAT'S beast mode!
Not trying to be an ahole, but anyone in his shoes wouldn't blink. It's just like doing an activity that requires your full attention other wise you'll get a very negative response or damage.
Honestly, if that guy doesn’t get a big fucking bag then he should start his own show.. he’s basically vice by now
For sure. Taji needs a raise asap
@@enceept7950 You don't know how much he makes
Taji has rescued Vice
Would probably make more on gum road
You say that same thing with every vid LOL
Why does he dresses like he was an extra on breaking bad
Mark sounds like Walter white
@@jonadabbalderas9310 2:46 heavy Walter vibes
@@JTYT0 .....I chalked it up too a character
.....I chalked it up too a character
At least he’s not wearing that dumb blue flame button up shirt. He either owned 1 shirt for 3 years or they tape 24 episodes in a day
When she complimented him and he just stood there…and smiled…and said literally nothing lmao 🤣
"That Tiger Taji was a f*in a$$hole" LOL 🤣
I don't know if its cut content, but I cannot get over how Taji just stands there when people talk to him, smiling and starring directly into their eyes. Then proceeds to say absolutely nothing. Literally just leaves said person sitting there listening to crickets. It's honestly hilarious 😂
To me it seems like he's copied that move/tactic from the All Gas No Brakes guy, who said in an interview that this gets people to talk more in order to avoid that uncomfortable silence.
Cracks me tf up 😂🤣
Tell me about it it’s killing me 😂😂😂😂😂
@@rschumachr yea I always heard a lot about how he's taken influence from other people, like the worst-rated series.
They definitely alter/cut the content to make it seem more awkward lmao
This guy looks like anxiety 😃
Taji or the bear owner ?
Anxiety wouldn't turn their back on a polar bear.
Sir your have anxiety... in walks this guy🧍🏽♂️it’s just the burden of carrying him around lol
Oh, he is.
Lmao
Him explaining beast mode philosophically was hilarious, and honest. As if this guy doesn’t understand lol
The awkwardness and pauses in this video are the best part.
Sorry this is not an official video until there’s a “Taji must be tired from carrying vice on his back” comment
He the real mvp
@FBI Guy and also the fact that he's not speaking about stupid fucking politics
@@Nicomonnn I'd appreciate more politics. And PLEASE dial back on the "beast mode" 💩
I hated that comment the first 5000 times i saw it, and i hate it more each time. And don't forget the obligatory "vice is liberal propaganda" comment that comes standard in every comment section.
@@janettelava7231Buuuut why
The lady in this video seemed very nice and genuine she was trying to encourage him along the whole time
They should be f arrested and the animals should be moved to the sanctuary where they can roam in large spaces. Just another bunch of freaking exotic animal owners in the style of Tiger King degenerates.
Taji is great, though.
@Knife Fight in the Big City Aww, poor snowflake troll got offended by my comment and started throwing robotic responses which he learned from other YT teenagers living in their basement.
You will be IGNORED now as I don't want you to kick your puppy again because of being butthurt by someone's YT comments.
@Knife Fight in the Big City they’re right it’s in a cage .
@Knife Fight in the Big City no lie, i could go one of those sammiches right about now
@@Bettie_Rage Finally someone seeing this situation as it is
i like how mark seemed like he thought this dude was a clown, then got all behind the idea of pushing taj a little further
I love how Mark seemed to really warm to Taji. Cant get enough of this series I love it
Prepping the bear by feeding him until he’s just full enough to not want to eat him😂
lmaooo I mean are u wrong?
Haha awesome
Bears do not kill to eat..they kill ..but not for food(humans)..at least thats what I think ..
@Leo Ghoulwhale they kill when they feel threatened... or just super hungry in the wild
@@unselfishcefamandole6722 8⁸⁸⁹⁸
The awkward pauses with this guy get me every time, it has to be on purpose.
Idk if it is, I think he is really that awkward and they use it to their advantage in editing. Either way it's internet gold
@@wastedtalent1625 saw a guy comment on another video that he met Taji at a party, and apparently his awkwardness is just part of the act
The way he pauses if on purpose is pretty disrespectful to the people, feels like he is patronizing them but it's funny!!!!
Taji is a performer, not just a journalist.
?? Do you think it’s an accident 😂
Taji is so gloriously awkward. We should all strive to have as much uncomfortable energy as him.
I'm pretty sure in a world full of Tajis we'd have no war, just really funny awkward UN meetings😂
Taji's awkwardness and risk-taking personality make this series
The dislikes are from the people who can’t unlock their inner beast mode.
Taji = insecure ; wimp
awww that lady had a heart of gold. she showed great empathy. she really wanted to teach taji to man up.
Taking selfies is not a manly trait. Being in proximity of a bear isn't a manly trait either. I doubt the woman in the video grew a penis, as soon as she walked up to a bear. Taking selfies with an unknown bear is just sad. When people try that hard to be cool, it's pathetic. I pity Taji.
@@geckowizard9058 Nice job liking your own comment. It's pathetic. I pity you
@@Vurdox I liked your comment; most.
@@geckowizard9058 hey mate do us a favour and just stfu
@@geckowizard9058 just curious I've injected the bleach and am now curious to the destination of the light bulb?
When that women started talking about how establishing a beast mode is an art, i died like literally
Women are always two steps ahead in convos
😂😂😂
She was trying to talk his language 😀
This honestly was one of the more interesting and eye-opening Taji episodes.
weirdly moving ending despite the tragically awkward t-shirt being put on bit
The pie scene 😭 the awkwardness 😭 my second hand embarrassment is reeling 🤣
Omg its sooooooo bad😭😭😭😭😭awksss
🤣🤣🤣
"W-whats your goal"
I skipped it, I couldn't bear it.
Haha see what I did there
laughed so hard when he just faceplanted the pie
Ever since someone called him a turtle, I can’t unsee it..
Omg same! I love Taji so much though
@@johnarrington1057 sameee🥰
Master Of Disguise Taji
Try coke head too if you look at his schnozz
Wtf, now that's all I see, thanks a lot, lmfao.
I always look forward to Taji’s videos! He is hilarious without trying. I love his kind soul and adventurous spirit. I wish we saw more individuals being true to themselves on media outlets.
"Not everyone gets a lick. Did you enjoy it?" 😂😂😂
This guy really has no limits...
Bro, this dude is legendary 😂
How is he so funny just being himself lol
Respect to this bro
you should see his awful tattoo. he really does have no boundary he’s unwilling to cross.
this guy is the limit
This isent even close to the worst thing he has done
I know.. i watch every video and i get blown away every time. When I think I’ve seen it all he strikes again. Real savage.
Strong, majestic and packed with pure muscles....
Next to him, a bear
👀feeding time
@@GameN3rdz They’re both hungry...👀👀
Patent A B und C
der kapitän zur see
If that's you in your profile picture, your beard is awesome
“Such a luscious coat” ... hahaha dude is terrified and I don’t blame him.
When dawn started talking about "beast mode" I lost it entirely
The bear people were so awkward with him it was funny 😂
the bear people 😭
I think that lady was really nice to him. She said words to him I never heard for myself lol
the lady was awesome. she was super emphatic.
That lick wasn't a kiss, That was a taste test 😂
Bear didn't like taji
😂😂😂😂
When the bear escapes it will follow his smell trail.
And it failed lol
😅😅😅👍
This is what Ethan would look like if he stuck to a diet lol
Someone said this is him and hilas son all grown up. ACCURATE
When he did the second take after Mark told him he was going to do it ... I DIED
I don’t know how people hate on Taji. I would love to be his buddy he seems like the most chill ass person.
Never seen anyone hating on him, I think it is impossible he is awesome
@@Leon_HAS_A_BIG_COCK he used to get a lot of hate when he was starting out! it was really excessive tbh i think his humor was just lost on a lot of people simply bc his content was unlike anything else on vice before lol glad to see him get the appreciation he deserves now though.
down with Taji haters!!!
Ya this guy is funny as heck
Dude he’s the worst. Not funny, makes idiotic statements all the time, plays the burnout waaaaay too hard, comes off as childish
He’s the most awkward person in the world, I am in bits watching this 😂
“Taji” the real life Even Stevens all grown up. 💯% embodiment of that character.
The smile/fear frown is exactly the same!
11:52 when you’re leaving the McDonald’s playground saying by to your new friend you know you’re never going to see again
This guy is a true legend vice should do more of his episode 💯
If he does videos like this one, he'll be lucky to survive to the end of the year.
They need to do more.of his work
He kinda reminds me of a young h3 (but funnier) don’t know why
@@urbOYfREND I cannot unsee this now.
@@Kigoz4Life JUUUUUUI
Taji why they keep sending you out to do things like this- I hope they're paying you well for the quality content you offer on VICE. And for the chiropractor needed for carrying VICE all the time.
What is quality about a whole series idea copied off another well known youtuber
@@Slicknewt which one
@Lassi Kinnunen 81 To be fair to mark these are rescue bears, they can't be released into the wild anyway, its captivity or death.
@@Slicknewt
Doing reviews is not a novel concept. The youtuber you are talking about doesn't have the trademark or copyright to the general concept of reviewing businesses. That's like the Fine Bros when they tried to copyright and trademark the concept of doing reaction videos. Like wtf is he gonna claim he created breathing oxygen and no one is allowed to copy him?
Guarantee they quietly ended his employee life insurance policy. Corporations be like that. Make bears look kind in comparison
Taji got a lap dance while doing a interview he’s a legend yelps worst rate strip club in one star rewiews lmao 😂 now he’s hanging out with bears a true legend
yall this turned from an awkward video to actually the owners spitting some gold life learnings by the end of it xD
“I mean he does kind of resemble a polar bear. In appearance.”
lol
My boy Taji doesn’t hold back 😭😂😂
The happiness I get from watching Taji is unreal.
I stopped and disliked the video, when he mentioned "beast mode" the hundredth time.
@@geckowizard9058 that’s the joke bro :/ it’s mocking people who use it unironically
@@north6502 The joke isn't funny BRO
I like the fact from the moment Taji said: "beast mode", they just stood there with the look" We know what you're taking about, and you've come to the right place".
When Taji just smiles and stares off, nodding his head lololol
“You’re standing up straighter” 😂 😂 😂
I see Taji, I click on the video 👍
Ditto!
exactly, we aint here for Vice, that died years ago
I don't
@@elyeyi369 If Vice just had Taji 💩; I wouldn't even bother complaining in the comments. Taji needs to be kicked off to a different channel, for the children who watch this garbage.
@@geckowizard9058 exactly. This is supposed to be media lol not a comedy skit
I love how at the end he says bye Billy and kinda looks at the bear like hes waiting for him to say it back😂
I love the conversations that happen in these videos. I think many others cut out awkwardness in conversation to make themselves seem like social experts, and inadvertently they create unattainable communication standards.
The last I heard, Taji is nominated for the noble prize in regards to his contribution towards humanitarian efforts.
Its well deserved
Cap
I find the awkwardness in this physically painful to watch....but for some reason I just keep watching
He’s fucking scared. Anybody would be in that situation!! Jesus fucking Mary and Joseph!! You people say everything is awkward, if that were you, you’d be shitting your fucking pants!!
@@Kal-El207 even before he met the beat just talking to the people him and the bear owner ate straight weirdos
Beast mode
It’s his character
Please keep this editing style! Its brilliant!
That mans a genius. That “GOOD BOY, GOOD BEAR!” was a bond man.
Him: *pets bear “should I pet him?😃
Her: No
Me: 😂
tajis back must hurt for carrying vice recently
For real.tho I only.watch vice with him in it and the dude is so damn awkward lol
I couldn’t agree more, Tajis is the only reason I watch vice recently.
@@J-man1017 couldn't agree more his awkwardness makes these videos funner
@@notnessle just makes it hard to watch
@@dhc2 funnier to watch
beyond the hilarity of this video, it was pretty deep, Taji's gonna have a whole lot of fucking awesome stories to tell later in life, that's absolute winning
Taji, you are a really cool person! I think it's awesome watching you and your personality fits well with trying these things! Keep doing what you are doing!
This guy is a breath of fresh air in a fake crazy world. Keep it pushing my guy
The awkward tension in this video is an art
Can he get his own show. I love watching this dude he needs to go everywhere. I need more videos
I love the ending-
Like you think beast mode is to inject yourself with strength- but really to remain calm when everything in you tells you to freak out.
Staying calm takes a beast.. awww 🥰
I love that
Mark is disgusted and his wife is just looking at comedy 😂
On par 💯
I know with the pie he was like what?
He needs to go meet his spirit animal, a snapping turtle.
😂😂😂
Bro you nailed it
🤣🤣🤣
LOL
Goated comment
Taj can't define beast mode --
Gets lick'd by the grizzly: "Wow, it's literally the definition of beast mode"
Your best episodes are when you are being genuine. Good stuff
Vice finally figured out If Taji's face is in thumbnail its an automatic watch 😂
Lol I love how he just embraces the awkwardness in his videos.
I stopped and disliked the video, when he mentioned "beast mode" the hundredth time.
@@geckowizard9058 it’s what the whole narrative of the video is about...
Taji's ability to self-deprecate is strong. I seriously love his video style.
@@articulatemonkey6667 This lacks comedic value
Lmao, I love Taj’s cheese smile, 100% ham, my dude.
The editing for this is amazing.
*Horror Movie voice:* "Marks temperament is like a Bear DONT. Ever, push him"
Mark: "Goooood girl!" 😚
this cracks me up
The way she said "u can't show them your afraid" is the true definition of beast mode i found it motivating
this was amazing! you are amazing Taji love your work!
This guy is by far my favorite person on Vice.
h3h3?
Old ass joke. You must be new
@@Ghostmanetx calm down dude
I definitely thought it was Ethan
@@Ghostmanetx Duh. But let people have their fun.
Also i couldnt for the longest time realize who Taji reminded me of. But yeah just h3h3 and Hila's illegitimate somehow almost middle aged child lmao
No, somehow even more awkward.
"We've dealt with many other animals where we even had to unleash the beast mode, even on a little chihuahua" 4:14
😳😳😳
Taji fan! Best video I've seen of yours yet! You went beast mode.
His face when the bear was sniffing his face was probably one of the best thing I've ever seen
does anyone get an awkwardness or second hand embarrassment for him😂😂
We all do
Welcome to our squad
I stopped and disliked the video, when he mentioned "beast mode" the hundredth time.
I love how earnestly he tries to explain beast mode to the man 😂
Taji has by far the best episodes on vice. Keep em coming 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Taji walks this fine thread between being warm and vulnerable AND taking the piss, it's just perfect.
0:08 my mans definitely looks afraid
Would you not be!? I'd have bolted just from the anticipation of the bear coming out.
@@noesunyoutuber7680 I have nothing to lose. Would actually be a blessing if a bear would put me out of my misery.
Stop saying this guy, THIS ISN’T JUST ANY GUY THIS IS TAJI
He's younger ethan klein
This is exactly the high quality UA-cam content I want to see everyday.
This has to be the best episode yet honestly
The editing on these videos gets me every time lol
Lmaoooo BEAST MODE IS AN ART!!! I lost it😂😂💀💀💀
Thumbnail looks like bear was being interviewed after witnessing a crime 😂😂😂
They went beast mode on a chihuahua lol
That little jump from the bear when he gets thrown Taji's pie is soooo goddamn cute!!
Just what i needed for my hungover sunday. Thanks Taji
THIS BUT WEED
The k-pins the vodka and the bud, just got my lying in my bed watching videos
@@spencetheicon5542 cool.

Taji seems like such a kind soul
