Brian Blessed is the protagonist of the planet earth
He's Tom Bombadil. A force of Nature.
That makes way too much sense.
Peter Jackson should've cast him as Tom Bombadil.
Aye, Brian Blessed or James Earl Jones.
Oh my. This casting has to happen!!
Somewhere there's a Russian admiral with his grandkid on his knee, telling him about the time he went to the North Pole in a submarine and met Brian Blessed. Who later punched a polar bear.
"Come child, I will tell you of most badass man to ever live."
🤣🤣🤣🤣
The thing with Brian Blessed is, he's so damned entertaining that it doesn't matter if it's true or not. If he said he'd visited another solar system with Venusians, I'd believe it.
My sentiments exactly.
He's literally on a very short list of people who if they said they punched a polar bear in the nose you'd say, "makes sense".
One of the rare cases where an actor lives up to the sorts of characters he plays.
do a quick research of the late Christopher Lee.
Your jaw will D R O P.
I do like the strong language warning, you really should just write "Warning, Contains Brian Blessed, consider yourself lucky."
It should've had "strong macusline voice warning"
Sounds like that should have been written on his tent for the polar bear.
"This video contains strong language."
"Is there swearing?"
"No, it's just that all Brian Blessed's language is strong."
The man is the living personification of the Capslock
@@weldonwin 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The polar bear just wanted to hear "Gordon's alive?!"
I swear, Brian Blessed is the only man that when he says he punched a polar bear in the nose you believe it.
I think Brian Blessed is the closest we will ever come to an actual superhero
Mike Tyson said it best,
"everybody has a game plan until they get punched in the face"
"Hit the the fucker on the nose" 2:39
language, there are kids on this site
National treasure right there!
What a Gentleman he is...Mad as a march hare , but wise as an owl. From voice overs in Star Wars to brilliant performances at the national theatre , he has given us decades of culture in all shapes and sizes . Long May He Reign !
Templar Knight Owls are wise?
Abe Grimm Who said so ? Has one ever written a book or won a literary prize.
One and done templar
Chuck Norris sleeps in Brian Blessed Pyjamas!
Brian B is a Shakespearean Ustinov, he has the same presence and wonderful story telling.
is there even one person in the world who could tell me the story of him punching a polar bear in the face and have me actually believe it? there is. one
The bit at the beginning should just say "Warning: this video contains Brian Blessed"
What a fucking legend!! His books are amazing, read them if you get the chance!!
Thank you. I will. Anything in particular you recommend?
@@jimjiminyjaroo300 'Absolute Pandemonium' is a brilliant read. It's hard believe it's about one man!
@@w8m4n Get the audiobook version. 13 hours of Brian bellowing his tale in the way only he can. Perfect for lockdown days. So damned funny. As is 'THE PANTHER IN THE KITCHEN'
@@SteveChiverton that's a perfect idea! What better way to enjoy it than having the giant himself yell it into my ear(serious). 👍
I didn't think I could like this guy more.
*"CHISWICK!! FRESH HORSES!!"*
You made me laugh out loud. Bravo.
@@tchansen Live to serve. :D
I never know whether to believe the stories Brian Blessed tells, but I don't really care. If they're not true, they ought to be.
A great humanitarian that packs a whollopp👍
Only Brian Blessed would smack a polar bear on the nose :-D amazing guy!
"I saved his life"
Brian Blessed is the REAL Most Interesting Man in the World!
ACG anyone?
Yup had no idea who this Brian Blessed guy was until ACG mentioned him.
Bump. Lmao
Don't know if I will ever be able to believe all these crazy stories of him :D
Moritz H well there is proof of a lot of his crazy accomplishments so it could be true
Thou darest doubt the Blessed?!
The greatest story ever told. 😄
I love the fact that it sounds as if he just can't get the words out fast enough :-)

That polar bear lost the battle for the territory.
He´s a great storyteller - but there is a reason, that his nickname is "Brian-larger-than-life".
... raisin nuts around here ...
Balls of titanium
I must of missed that bit of hunt for red October when it smashed through the ice. K19 perhaps?
2:29 How is that not a meme.
Brian Blessed.....The Legend!
The Polar bear only came for his Autograph.......😂
The thing is that there were a ton of people there who would've discredited a celebrity lying like that in a heartbeat.
Please please please change the license on this to Creative Commons so I can put this video on his Wikipedia article
You can under Fair Use
That's not how fair use works. At all.
Fair Use works how Fair Use works. . .
Yes, and what you suggested is not how fair use works.

If it's for educational purposes. Plus, just wmbed the fucken video, they'll not lose any ad revenue.
Of course he punched a polar bear. Brian is a legend ! xx
A Russian nuclear powered Typhoon submarine surfaced next to him near the North Pole??!!!
That surely, surely cannot be true. But I so hope it is.
I love Brian Blessed!
It is possible but unlikely. Unless it was prearranged. Was he doing this polar expedition for a tv program?
... the bundaberg rum polar bear man in a suit ...
You know I totally believe that. I do.
... milton road 4064 ...
Is that Big Clive asking the question?
Lol, certainly sounds like him
Sharks, too.
Was the guy asking this question Scott Manley?
Acg told me to come here....
Yes! Me too! Hahaha!
I like Brian but the poor bear..it will have been really hungry.
There's only two people whom I'd believe this story from: David Attenborough and Bryan Blessed
I wonder if he saw the nasa guards stopping people falling off the edge of the earth? 😂
Biblical Broadcasting pmsl friggin flat earthers.
That's the South pole ain't it?
So, he sang musical numbers on a submarine then punched a polar bear?
... the bundaberg rum polar bear ... clearly did not punch it hard enough ... olinthus the olanzapine peddler ...
animal cruelty has never been so funny lol jk
yogamandan He saved it from been shot but I agree.
I gotta say if you thinking taking a swing at a polar bear in a panicked case of self defence is animal cruelty I hope you do run into a polar bear.
The Magnetic South Pole is not in the ocean
Shhh!!!! He'll hear you! And then he will manifest and flatten you with a single stentorian bellow! And if you mildly annoy him you'll get the goosing of a lifetime!
yes it is off the coast of Antarctica.
