Need a hand identifying an advert from about 10 years ago. Anyone remember an ad featuring a lumberjacky-type dude armwrestling a bear, then a bird with massive knockers walks in and something else happens... Ring a bell?

Yes... I know the one you mean, but I can't place what its for.

At the end the bear was still there right ?

It's not the beer bear..

This is bugging me now... I'm saying microwave burgers or kitchen towels.

Dammit, I can see the advert in my mind, but all Google turns up is that dam 'Man fights a bear for a salmon' advert...

Brawny paper towels, at least here in the states, features a plaid-wearing, bearded lumberjack in its adverts.
