Fox had some weird specials in the late 90s and early 2000s. This was my favorite by far.
At the time, Kobayashi was the undisputed king of competitive eating. The grizzly bear has no idea what's going on. He doesn't have any interest in competition. He's just hungry.
Kobayashi has technique and the competitive spirit. Bear has the fact that he's a bear.
BEAR WINS. GO BEAR.
Bonus: later in the show, they had 44 little people vs. an Asian elephant in a DC-10 airplane pulling contest. I won't spoil the end for you if you want to watch it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iT-eqfcXEBU

FOX has always been heavily invested in human degradation.

Spoiler alert, the elephant takes the lead at the end and wins
ForeverDonutsWillNeverExist
Yeah but how would he do against Joey Chestnut???

Kobayashi won in the practice round, but then they starved the bear before the actual competition.

Some of the midgets in the elephant video weren't even trying. I clearly saw some lady just walking with her thumbs in the harness.

Oh my god no! I clicked on the "Want a Sugar Mommy" ad!!!

Same show had a man play tug of war against and orangutan. It was close until the orangutan got bored and pulled the rope.

These are the kinds of competitions you have with bears.
toxcrusadr
Well that didn't seem fair and balanced.
ShyFurret
That bear just looks so happy with life

And now we have Michael Phelps vs a great white shark.

I didn't know little people meant midgets
Mcswigginsbar
Holy shit I remember that show! I thought Kobayashi was going to win as a kid. Little did I know of the power of bear.
MeatwadsDriver
That beautiful tag... take your upvote!!

But! Bears eat beets. Bears, beets, battle star Galactica...

Yea there's a reason Fox wasn't considered a contender network back then
Retrobution
I like how the bear has an American flag behind him. "I've got to win for my country" -the bear, probably.
mongo2291
Did the midgets win
DropKickHead
No. Then again they werent all "pulling". Some kinda looked like they were just walking along. Shoulda gotten better midgets

** SPOILER ALERT **

Elephant wins. But you can see in a scene where some of the "little people" are strolling as the lead guys work hard. Looking at you CAROL!
Timtimgrimslimjim
Now I wanna see a bear pulling an airplane full of hotdogs...
TheDino
Who can eat an elephant faster? 44 little people or one hungry bear?
redwings43
And then the bear went over and ate the rest of kobes haha. It's was great.
BadHamIsBetterThanNoHam
The midget sprint team vs baby giraffe was pretty excellent too
Lamplord
Im more interested in the elephant v midgets thing now. You cant just say things like that and not tell me how it ends.

When Fox was trying to be taken as seriously as the big three networks...

I remember they had a sumo wrestler vs and orangutan tug of war. Sumo man lost easily.
kittenshit
The bear has his own damn microphone.

In an interview (freakonomics podcast) koboyashi stated that he beat the bear during the pre-run but they starved the bear for the real thin

My phone autocorrected kobayashi but I refuse to delete this. My bad
MadHakon
Well in fairness, Koboyashi probably didn't eat anything in preparation for the match.
equityforpunks
Man that elephant one would piss off so many people today..
ihateturtlenecks
I mean I feel kind of bad for the elephant. I'm sure it's not having a good time :(
FistsOfSlightAnnoyance
... And not because of the elephant.
tankmemes
Why'd they get off the bike
FistsOfSlightAnnoyance
It was actually the elephant's bike. They were trying to steal it.
MileHighLivin
You can take the elephant out of the circus, but you can't take the circus out of the elephant.
Individualsocksinthewashingmachine
Because today we learned that it's animal abuse
TaintToucher
People freak out over the littlest things
wysmith777

They aren't things, they're people.
