I agree, mainly because of Mr. Bean Holidays that I have watched a million of times and laugh in the same way every time that I watch it...

It's called a lobotomy.

"Bean" got fairly poor reviews. "Mr. Bean's Holiday" got 2 of 5 stars from several reviewers on both sides of the Atlantic. I liked them, but hardly powerful.

@@lancebaker1374 Thereby revealing that reviewers are incompetent at judging comedies. Likewise "Dude, Where's My Car?" got terrible reviews.

​@@lancebaker1374 Audience's don't really accept films like "Bean" to be cinematic masterpieces though.

He has a Phd in Electrical Engineering, from Oxford University.

so so true.. like William Shakespeare being invited to speak at a comic con gathering, or W B Yeats reading poetry on stage at the Coachella festival

Show Me That Riff totally agree he is way too smart for any program or show in america

Ioannis Pasaloukos I agree he has a degree in electrical engineering from Newcastle University

He also went to Oxford University.

I think it's just that he wasn't famous in the US at the time

He was born in Durham in the North East of England, but has a standard RP accent, which he speaks naturally in all the time. Using RP suits some people, he must have lost any trace of a North East English accent by his 20s.

@@johnking5174 having spend as many as 5 years in uni around the North East I actually never have imagined him to be emanating from there.

And what exactly IS...a ‘standard British accent’? Hmmm ?

​@@AdamSmith75th replace standard with quintessential

@@AdamSmith75th It's a kind of (British) English that has no local accent, sort of a "by the book pronunciation" English. Many say "The Queen's English". Hope it helps.

the sign of an educated man.!

Granny MooMoo that was wat I was abt 2 comment😅

Plastic surgery

I find he is attractive looking..

@@This_tub You are an idiot! He doesn't need plastic surgery! He is born handsome!

Even at that age I still think he's like a dad 😂

In quite a big way

Is that a good thing?

@@keithcroissant5640 yes because they will do it with self-deprecating charm and reserve themselves with unnecessary bad language which makes it funnier IMO

bean is autistic/ aspergers.

Are you sure he isn't God's mentor?

100%согласна!

You should watch BlackAdder ;)

Cupit Everybody should watch The Blackadder, it would make the world a better place

Mr bean lives!

mine too.

I prefer to use He's than His

That's a preference worth imitating, sir.

Natalia Balindong has i

He's so polite lol , I would've just said "he sat down and did a massive poo!" Lol. Rowan is always so polite and never really makes rude jokes other than in his t.v shows. It must just be the way he was bought up lol.

Me too and it's really weird hearing his voice

+Joshua Ingram Then you've obviously never seen his Blackadder series! That's a shame. Check it out on youtube.

+Najwa Ally Watch Blackadder 2, or 3, or Blackadder Goes Forth!

Obviously you have never watched the Lion King.

All of them. Except the yak. He's such a master of impersonations.

CommieFinest He was educated at Oxford.

Josua Mudreilagi dang

+THESATURNSSC1 only when you understand it lol

TROLL MASHUPS My dad got me hooked on Montey Python sketches. One of my favorites is the Fish License sketch.

TROLL MASHUPS not ME.

oh I love British humor man lol

Crazy Wolfgang He's not American. Look how he spells "humour" with a "u." My guess is that he's Irish. He sounds thick enough.

+Whiskey River (Doc) Oh god i need to rewatch Thin Blue Line episodes someday

+Whiskey River (Doc) It's odd looking back and seeing Patrick Truman from Eastenders in both Mr Bean and Thin Blue Line, I guess they must know each other, or possibly utter coincidence.

+Whiskey River (Doc) agreed. I find Bean is more popular with the kids.

Haunui Royal My nephew is 6 and he loves it, but then I still think it's funny so.... yeah :P

Nah, mate. Blackadder is amazing but Mr. Bean is universal. I used to watch it when I was a kid and couldn't understand a single word in English.

Thin Blue Line was pretty turgid. But then he didn't write that, did he

nice sweep pic

Onizuka seasons 2-4 are better than the first one

Yes the first series was poor but the rest is comedy gold

His best work

sportd boxing

Lela Dos Passos You need to watch Blackadder then.

Unfortunately this series has never happened here in Brazil ..But I will try to watch from internet.

look for his stage shows they're him at his best

Same

He's from England...

Everyone has an accent. Or nobody has an accent. It's all relative.

You're dumb

Then you missed out on some amazing comedy, check out "Blackadder" and "The Thin Blue Line" on KZfaq. Also checkout his Stand up acts, also on KZfaq, Rowan is an incredibly funny guy.

Technically he doesn't have an accent because the English language was invented in England, where hes from.

I was questioning your education too.

Rowan Atkinson isn't a naturally funny man. But he is a comic actor and would rightfully be expected to at least make an effort to amuse. Atkinson is too uncomfortable to even bother. Being educated doesn't mean you get a 'pass' to be dull. And most English people are thick. I'm English and I've observed that your average Yank is more intelligent than your average Brit. On 'KZfaq' they tend to have a better grasp of punctuation, for one thing. Their tabloids tend not to be mind numblingly crass, or stupid, unlike ours. Atkinson represents the tiny percentage whose parents could afford an expensive private school. So what? Doesn't make him entertaining. He's not.

you are so right.!!!!

aerialkate i dont think british people are thick! definitely. I prefer british movies, comedies, comedians, dramas.. they are more intelligent. one has to listen carefully to enjoy. American movies and music these days are trashy and junk..

jessie james Don't you remember the paedophile (English spelling, after the Greek) business a few years ago. A group of vigilantes were ready to tar and feather a woman whose address they'd found in the Yellow Pages: She was a paediatrician! You're right, a lot of American films are trash, but a lot of them are brilliant and innovative. British films always push that stiff upper lip stereotype. As though every Brit lives in a stately home and has impeccable manners. In my experience (as a working class Brit) the opposite is true. Except for me, of-course...
