Rowan Atkinson as Mr. Bean is the funniest thing ever!

I wish that there were more Mr. Bean shows and movies!

Sorry, but that’s a hill of Beans

Mr Bean irritates me in the same way that Pee Wee does.

I picture the OP clapping his hands rapidly and rocking back and forth.

I hate Mister Bean. HATE.

Pee Wee was much better! He was whimsical. Mr Bean is just an idiot.

Dreadful character, but far worse actor/person.

Great for the kiddies and those who don't speak English, he was HUGE in my country back in the day, practically a household name.

I love Mr. Atkinson in "Blackadder."

But I don't care for the writing and "style" of Mr. Bean.

The movies weee terrible. Mr. Bean only works as a live action tv show. Rowan does the films for the paycheck to by more cars.

Mr. Bean in Room 426 is fantastic! I also love the one where he goes to the fair and is given wet sponges to throw at a guy. When he runs out of them he picks up cans and starts throwing them. Finally, he picks up a chair and is stopped before he throws it at the guy.

R13, agreed

R12, why do you think the movies were terrible?

by Anonymousreply 15August 29, 2024 6:59 PM

R11 - agreed. I mean, Mr. Bean obviously made Rowan Atkinson very wealthy, so... good for him. But it can't even compare to the brilliance of Black Adder.

I hope that a 3rd Mr. Bean movie is made

Atkinson is talented, but a little of him can go a long way. Mr. Bean lacks Pee-Wee's childlike demeanor and genuinely surreal aesthetic. He's a bumbling moron rather than a naïve imp, and the gags are always ugly.

Prefer Blackadder and Atkinson's other more openly abrasive characters.

I also think Two and a Half Men is hilarious! And Jeff Foxworthy!

by Anonymousreply 19September 17, 2024 12:43 AM

I don't understand the character

by Anonymousreply 20September 17, 2024 12:46 AM

R19, how are they similar?

by Anonymousreply 21September 17, 2024 12:51 AM

He isn't as talented as Jacques Tati who is the basis for Mr. Bean.

There's something off-putting about his nose and nostrils.

by Anonymousreply 23September 18, 2024 2:22 AM

Of course they were silent films, but I have always thought that Mr. Bean is a modern-day take on Chaplin’s Little Tramp character.

by Anonymousreply 24September 18, 2024 2:34 AM

I have never found Mr. Bean remotely entertaining.

The entire schtick is the definition of "British humor" that has never been humorous.

by Anonymousreply 25September 18, 2024 3:31 AM

R26, why don't you think British humor is funny?

by Anonymousreply 26September 18, 2024 6:27 PM

I enjoy most British humor. But not Mr Bean. However, I appreciate his shows' babysitting skills.

by Anonymousreply 27September 18, 2024 6:33 PM

The humor is so predictable and subtle.

by Anonymousreply 28September 19, 2024 6:28 PM

Hot Bean

Why were there not more shows?

I never found him funny. Not even mildly.

OP is a time traveler from 1994.
