Bernie Crane (Florian Cravic) 

This, he even encourages Niko to move on after he gets the news of Darko's aftermath, if we only had the option to hang out with him i would've loved to see them at some point finally close that chapter of their lives

Every gay character is a comic relief

Niko should take example of him.

You're right, but the circumstances are different. Bernie likely wasn't all that attached to his old identity as Florian Cravic because it was repressive and false. He couldn't truly be the person he wanted to be until he came to America, so it was much easier for him to leave the past behind and embrace something new. For Bernie, it was a fresh opportunity but for Niko it was a tremendous blow and the ruination of everything he'd strived for, so it's much harder for him to move on. Also, Niko has been immersed in violence and crime on a professional and personal level for a long time now whereas Bernie seems to have been living a fairly honest life (besides sleeping with a married man) and old habits die hard.

@@BUCKBREAKING69 Most gay people don't act like a prancing la la homo man caricature.

Uncle no relation 7:41 I WOULDN'T DO THAT That's Florian,his gayness hides behind his back.

lmao Todd with a gun

"DEAD, I HOPE!!"

He swaps back to his Serbian war veteran self aka Florian instead of Bernie in those moments

I was shocked too

jbwolf4 Aww i wish for that

The dichotomy between the two woulda been hilarious... Imagine Bernie slipping between his Serbian self and his fabulous self.

@@From96TilDeathBernie moved on from that time and left it in the past.

true

I think they didn't do so because Bernie wasn't a very close friend of Niko, merely an acquaintance from the village.

Will Marsden Terrifying European more like it.

Will Marsden ikr???

Given that he, Niko and Darko were the only survivors of the attack it's likely he's incredibly dangerous and just hides it.

Matthew Riggs Thats a good thing you brought up. Did bernie pretend to be helpless cause he TRULY wants to be another person, or did he somehow forget his killer skills ?

soldiers never forget I think he truly doesn't want to be a violent man anymore. In real life Niko, Darko and Florian would have been trained by Soviet soldiers and you can't imagine what they were put through. The men fought in the Bosnian wars so they would have seen quite a lot. War changes everyone, rarely for the better. It's why Niko is so cold and probably why Darko became a raging drug addict. Florian probably plays up his homosexuality as a form of coping, all three men have their coping mechanisms. Darko- drugs Florian- alcohol(table seen in the cutscene suggest he drinks) possibly his played up homosexuality Niko- is clearly and alcoholic too he gets absolutely shitfaced drunk on friend activities but also desperately tries to refuse alcohol when it's given, he struggles with this though as seen in the Holland play where he looks longingly at the Schnapps playboy pours for him, he finally caves at the end of the game where you meet Jimmy P in the strip club. Niko starts throwing back large glasses of Vodka without any thought.

Niko was like "NO NO, that can't be the same dude that slaughtered people and animals at the abattoir, and was a great wrestler."

@@wrestlingstuffv2 well, that explained a lot

I didn't even notice that! Good detail! Damn I love gta 4 so much

Niko is having an Emotional whiplash at that moment lmao

Lmao.

Very accurate

LMFAO

Lmao

Michael Hollack vs Rockstar

Vat'

I guess it was too subtle. He meant "Because I'm a homosexual"

dragster1018aone you mean grandma wat meme?

Dont forget: Bernie: How does my hair look? Niko: Fine! Niko's face it's hilarious xD

dragster1018aone He is sick.

DoubleAAntics He is so funny.

DoubleAAntics "See you later Florian" *"bErNiE"*

DoubleAAntics I hate him so much.

Jacob Rorke That’s just your personal opinion.

Florian Sounds cooler

Xo fam

And there is nothing wrong about it, I like Bernie

@@princesslightningstrike4592 100%

lol

*Funny Comment

This is perfect

@@Dabadi4834 True.

Very funny comment

And an insane amount of mental maturity

yeah, so sad he can't find a real man to be with and have to just deal being the lover to a married right-wing politician

and a pinch of bipolar disorder :)

This is the funniest comment on here because while reading this all I could picture was a sigma male edit of Bernie crane

Judging by his slip-ups when you first meet him, it's implied this is just a mask to avoid his trauma.

Gta IV is awesome

It is the only time Niko doesn't seem to easy

I mean in reality, he is paid low by rockstars like... He only got 100k for the 6M they got on the first 6 days when it got released lmaooo

Too bad Niko's voice actor got paid so poorly for his incredible acting skills and we wouldn't see him anytime soon

The whole conversation to be honest.

Niko sounds like me

8:28

I think he genuinely gets angry that Niko thinks it was him.

It's honestly so good. Absolutely incredible acting and direction.

That was the former war comrade coming out Niko remembers.

No

you some sort of gay?

same here and jerred fuck off unrespectfull hater

@@jerredfarmer7624 well fuck you humans are humans and gay people are human too and in the game bernie was a man before and now turned gay

@@robbog4184 HEY! Why don't you pick on someone who fight back!

same

I'm from Serbia myself like Niko Belic, if you know everything about the war. You'll know the rest yourself. He fought Albanians

TheSerbianWolf SRB wow how did you feel while playing gta 4 :0

Mihajlor mc turks conquered your country 😘

Florian

Yeahh that's probably one of the dumbest things Rockstar did out of everyone it would of been cool to hangout with your Old War Comrade and talk about Niko's past

I dont get it

@@poke-champ4256 its a reference to the movie Weekend at Bernie's

I feel like they gave the character the name Bernie (which is a pretty unusual/random choice of name) just so they could do that joke with the mission name lol

I think it also works on the aspect that Florian is dead, even though Bernie was the dead one in the film

​@@leonardopena2673Bob's Burgers Did It With "Weekend At Mort's"

Yes

Matt Canon That's awesome, I never noticed that before. And at 8:28.

Matt Canon Maybe that's how it was, he became gay and has a gayass voice.

+Matt Canon at 7:36 his voice also breaks at the word "fatty" and goes insanely high pitch

Florian was actually a high class solider back then.

cfroi08 I’m hoping gta 6 brings back the real life immigrant feel gta 4 had. Niko was relatable, I found the story much better than 5

About that you right but its not real about the language roman forgotten serbian cuz he was in liberty city 10 years? And niko's mother milica is speaking english to niko on email? Really? And the reason she said cuz niko is speaking like roman now, well thats not real in gta 4 and the voice actor should be someone from serbia cuz this actor is speaking like russian accent and niko is speaking serbian with mistakes. Those things for me are not real to be honest.The game and the story are like you watching movie i really enjoyed when i played gta 4

I believe the only part you are wrong is about we forget our past, Florian does not look like thinking about the past everyday.

To me, the IV series will always be the best, especially the Chinatown Wars one. Retro feeling, good story lines, great character development. Everything you would asked for in a GTA game.

GTA IV has something that san andreas dosent have *L E T S G O B O W L I N G*

it would seem Bernie has fully mastered the concept of finding closure with his past and made a fresh start and a new life. i totally get wanting to leave your shitty old life behind in favor of a more calm and mundane one.

Florian for no reason “ahh~!💁‍♀️”

Derp Festor 23:33

Marqus Nuffsaid 7:41 too

Of course. That was Florian talking.

His accent started showing.

Blade1301 dude got so mad and passionate about trying to defend his name that his gayness went back into the closet for those few instances lmao 😂

Marqus Nuffsaid your right

Lol ur right

Or pegorino

@@UKEDNHAT7 He just screws you up on one of the optional endings. Nothing else.

@@NixDarkLord FUCKING Dimitri!

I chose revenge ending because I wanted him to beg for his life while I was laughing until I put him out of his misery.

Makes him sound stronger

@@theloveablewolfuwu2163 he still a soldier after all

It was Florian, working in abbatoir and serving in army, not Bernie. 2 different men

Well he was a soldier in different country so yeah make sense he have a different voice, We seen Niko get angry, Imagine we see Florian get angry, no matter if he gay or straight, we probably would not mess with Florian when he get angry 💀 imagine he still have a gun, we probably would be screw

his fake voice more like. back when he was closeted and had to be more masculine to get by.

I laughed too hard at that

O fuckin died at that 🤣

Hes right though 😂

Among sus😳

He can call Brucie to get a boat ride the exact same thing but suddenly it’s a problem

Lolhe killed them

@JustChizzin where did you hear that at? The majority of VAs are still pissed with R*

@@youtubecensored1657 Michael said in an interview more than 10 years ago that it was pretty much a misunderstanding, he did talk some shit about rockstar but he didn't really meant it like that, the problem is rockstar herself, they do not forgive stuff like this

Niko, a true straight ally

i'm sure you killed kate so you can have niko all for yourself

Zeta paga la coca.

@@gideonthearchivist9069 la coca de qué?

@@NationalismDjazair jajajaj después de un año

@@dkraz almenos te resolvi la duda

That's why I like Florian

BERNIE!!!

war does change people indeed. puts things into perspective and makes you realize the more important things in life.

😂😂 I died in that part!

It got me laughting

the best part is it hits close to home irl in American politics. your local pro family values conservative politician? yeah he prolly a lil fruity

I mean... he's not wrong... Getting half of the entire Nation's Security and Law Enforcement to chase your *ss and working with Cutthroat Mafia like the Pegorinos can be, indeed, very stressful 😌

23:05.

He should've been a friend. There would have been so many hilarious moments.

that mission at the dock, that's the closest we got to a friend activity.

Ken Hamada maybe the same as henrique in tbogt

some guy francis though he kinda does the same

Ken Hamada The ability to have sex with the gay employee at the expensive clothes store 😂😂😂

MidwesternSlav ending A or B are sad

@@jahn77 Yeah, but that is only temporary.

Its so sad when they kill Roman

@@13_BlackBurn You have to be an idiot to take the deal option anyway

@@CursoryMercenary not exactly. Just because it isn't a "happier" ending doesn't mean it's bad. Let's see: Niko would agree to do the deal because he wants to move on from anger and try do do what's best for him and Roman. When you get the money, Roman and Niko finally fell like they've made it. That Roman and Mallorie can finally have a stable life. Unlike when Niko acts selfish, and chooses to fulfill his revenge mission instead of trying to build a better future for Roman (who has suffered a lot because of Niko's decisions). Killing Dimitri next to the statue of happiness fells right, it feels like the end. Unlike killing Pegorino, witch feels like it's just thrown in so they can roll the end credits...

What?

the arms tho

The funnier lime come from Bernie 🤣 no wonder I respect lbgtq. This game is a reason why I respect lbgtq :)

lol

😂😂😂

I'M DONE :)

Same with mc eiht

😂😂 so accurate

yeah with that swaying back and forth and holding himself, he was definitely shitting himself internally just then

TheMcLay1992 nice freckles

"I'm sorry about the fat thing... You're still kind of cute."

Hahahahahahahahaha

“Ha ha. Gee, thanks.”

i find the fat jokes quite funny, hehe.

RodrigoTano1 everybody who knows the movie weekend at bernie’s get the reference we just dont care

@@marksantiago9841 people care actually. They just don't bother telling it.

It s hilarious the Florian cravic and Bernie crane thing

I actually didn't know that until reading this comment. Thanks for the info :)

CSGO NOOB at that moment Niko recognized his old friend.

There's Trevor Philips who is bi or pan sexual

Tony Prince was better written. It's even weird that Bernie and Bryce weren't a part TBOGT considering they're part of the high society of Algonquin

I like Bernie, but he isn’t the best representation. Still wish he appeared more in the game.

@@FeralCabbage I really didn't like him at first but I kind of understand now that there's a lot more depth to his character I didn't get at first. Like how he adopts this stereotypical gay persona to distance himself from his old life, as opposed to just being a stereotype for the sake of being a stereotype.

@@sharkyjeff this was 2008 when people weren’t that creative but they still did a good job.

he did fight in the war after all

Spikereef yeah, me too 😊 he's soooo sweet 😘

Spikereef Honestly I do not have anything to him i would prefer to meet in the real Packie.

Go to the nearest gay bar, plenty of Bernies there :)

xD

Spikereef You are kidding me? He is insane.

😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😌😌

😏

Holy shit

🤣🤣🤣

how do i recover from this?

because Ray is trash

Abby Bye When a reply gets more likes than the comment

AJFan89 Because the mission before that was to dress as a garbage man to pick up the ice?

Honey... you... are stressed

his accent too ha 11:33

Roman's okay with a couple of broken arm, but not murder

Unreliabbllleeeeeee

That was amazing xD

Dont be a F 4 G -Niko

That’s my favorite part

Bernie? What are you talking about?

Ah me too. Lol

Riight

Fr tho

mhm

For me, it's because it stuck with a beautiful part of my life that i just can't forget

Bojler eladó

*Florian has moved on, would make less sense If He acted completely Like He did before.*

​​@@Burgerplants yeah. He would 100% sound like Roman if he was there and would wanted Niko to left Darko in his misery.

RUSSIAN WARSHIP. GO FUCK YOURSELF

LMAO you win

People probably would’ve called it that if this were released today

@@Christian-97for sure, people are weird nowadays

Thats sad, i liked to hear his gayness, he was funny

@@somefries3101 bumping into old conments...

Maybe he was too fabulous

Rockstar aint ready for the gays to have the spotlight in their franchise

@@andrewbui8295 ballad of GAY tony

True...I don't understand why they made it like that.

Maybe it was on purpose. I know it is wrong but bel-ick sounds better than bel-itch.

I think that the reason why its spelled Bell-ick is because Roman have been living for a long time in LC, and in America Bellic are pronounced like Bell-ick. So he just got used to that and refered to his cousin as Niko Bell-ick, not the Serbian Bell-ich

Too sad he's not alive anymore

Ventilador Britânia fuck rockstar, someone put some good work on his writing and then someone just decides to have him killed as a background character.

Yeah,seems like graphics are all what matters now,i miss my childhood heroes,Claude,Tommy,Vic,Carl,Mike Toreno for some weird reason....

I call him UL Paper. He can be killed in GTA V, by Michael.

GrexTheCrabasitor I call him Baš kao stara država (the cutscene where he says like the old country)guy

It's a shame
