This should be the last favor I need from yall for a bit. All the tips you've blessed me with thus far have been great. I am still searching for the Ace man's best Thunder Bear. Since this character of his does not really speak to me, I ask you what your favorite appearance was and the date and approximate time it went down. Thanks again.

Are you doing this for a best-of kind of show, like for full bits/ segments or are you looking for shorter drop-type stuff?

The best Thunderbears are the ones where Adam speaks no English and Drew has to use whatever comic skills he has to make the bit work.

^ After Thunderbear began to integrate English into his vocab, it kind of lost its luster. I agree; the first few Thunderbears where Adam speaks solely in Choctaw (sp?) and Drew translates were the best!

I agree with everyone here that you should look for some between May and September of 2004. The best one I found in a quick search was probably on July 6, 2004. Wow it's a fantastic one...you even chimed in with some deep insights Anderson...and frightened the chief. It runs about 9 minutes long and spans 2 calls starting at about 73:25 of the commercial free show.

There is one on 03/29/2004 around 96:00 in on the commercial version where Adam talks about being an Alaskan shaman doing a sleep study. He also talks to his wife that way in a onesided conversation like asking him to take out the trash. Adam also goes off on a guy for saying "I do not understand North American Gibberish"

On 11/11/2004 - show with Jason Bateman (approx. 43 minutes in with some commercials) - Chief Thunderbear and Jason help a woman with questions about anal sex. Goes through a commercial break. Some English but a good bit none the less.

Still looking for a realllllly good one.

2004-06-16 with DAG. The 3 segment in the 11:00 hour.

"Did he just use the n' word?"

Also, I think I figured out Anderson's plan. He is constructing an Adam clone in his basement. Do you have the toe nail clippings yet?

I'm just getting to this stuff now. Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm currently scanning the Jason Bateman show right now thanks to Shocking!. I chose this one first only because Arrested Development is the greatest show on television.

Anderson,

Another Thunderbear/Running Bear bit on 11/28/04 (maybe 45 minutes in with some commercials, *starts just before a commerical break and a Hives bumper*, and has some English) - helps a girl (Alex) dating another girl from Chocktaw who she met at a circus. Your prodigee Chris takes a few shots from Thunderbear, as usual. Adam actually introduces him as Chief Running Bear - again - the bit needs more work. Bit runs about ten minutes. Need anymore...let us know. Keep up the yeoman's job - I love the drops.

Shocking!

Found proof that Adam may actually be Chief Thunderbear. I know this sounds crazy - I feel like that reporter from the Incredible Hulk here - long live Jack Colvin. Anyway, about 70 minutes in (sans commericals)on 11/17/04, Adam and Drew are talking about the future when there will be enough white people in the ground that the Indian Casinos will start infringing on our burial grounds. Adam says he can talk to them in their native tounge - which is Chaktaw and he actually speaks in Chief Thunderbear's language, planning his speech to the Indians building their casinos. This runs for about four minutes. As you actually see more of Chief Thunderbear than I do, (even with the different studio business) you will have to confirm it if you've seen both of them at the same time. I think this is how Lois Lane outed Superman in the second movie. If you find out, keep it to yourself. Chief Thunderbear/Adam with perform some holistic chant and blank your memory.

NaNaHe!

Yes! Last night Drew asked Adam if Chief Thuderbear wanted to make an apperance and Adam said, "No I'm too tired." I nearly shit my pants. I had always suspected the Chief might be Gilbert Godfrey or Pete Sampras or the Brawny man, but never Adam. I am TOTALLY freakin' out man!

Anyone know the date where the girl called in from Alaska and they summoned Thunderbear? It was easily 2-3 months ago, but I remember it was a classic. Suggesting a clip without even remotely knowing the date of the show is kind of a J.C. tard move, but I thought I'd throw it out there if anyone can recall it. Also, the Cheif's "MAIZE-HOLING" comment is a must-have. Has Drew's "Pee in my mouth" been put on the cart yet? Another good one would be Dr. Bruce's recent "Adam Carrolla has my Hooka pipe?" in reference to his stepdaughter (with tard accent).

Drew, Please

I really don't agree with you guys when you say that the bit was better before Adam began intermittently speaking english. For the dedicated listeners it may be losing a bit of its luster as time goes on, but the bit was truly terrible when Drew was left to fend for himself. The Doc can sometimes pull off a joke or two, but is completely unable to sustain a cohesive sketch by himself. He would always just devolve into ordering coffee from Chris over and over and it wasn't funny at all. Then he would give his own, very unfunny advice, without properly pacing himself and the whole thing would fall to pieces. Once Adam started taking control there were actually some jokes to give the piece value, until then it was just Drew blowing in the wind.

Uh, not to get off topic or anything. Use one of the later clips where Adam has gained a pretty good feel for the character. I assume the Bateman ep was one of these.
