YouTube Favorites 'Hunter and Bear' Return for Interactive Sequel [VIDEO]

Back in 2010, Tipp-Ex, makers of a brand of white-out tape, became a YouTube sensation with an innovative video. Viewers were able to control the plot of the video a la Mad Libs.

The initial ad, which has received 19.2 million views on YouTube, featured a camper who confronts a bear. After the initial 30-second video, viewers could either opt to shoot the bear or not. In either case, they were able to enter a verb to fill in the sentence: "A hunter ____ a bear." (The hunter of course used the product to white-out the word.)

Two years later, the pair are back with a sequel. This time, instead of entering a word, you enter a year. If you type "1968," for instance, the bear and hunter appear in a psychedelic sequence. "1" prompts a trip back to the manger in Bethlehem. But my favorite may be 1990s "Saved By the Bear." It would be nice if Tipp-Ex could have sprung for a cameo from Dustin Diamond, a.k.a. "Screech," though. I'm sure he's available.
