Tear Jerkers in Mr. Bean include:

There's an extreme case of Mood Whiplash in the scene where a tank crushes Mr. Bean's car while he's enjoying an hors d'ouvre. It's one of the funniest moments of the series... until you see his reaction.
- For best (worst?) results, watch it muted with the show's theme playing in the background (start the theme when the first video reaches 0:39).
- For me, the teariest moment of Mr. Bean is the day you realize just how utterly alone this man really is. He celebrates his birthday by himself, sends birthday and Christmas cards to himself, holidays by himself and the few people that do know him (his ex-girlfriend, his colleagues, the Americans from the art gallery) really can't stand to be in his presence for long - his relationship with his teddy is funny only until you realize that it's essentially an Expy for Wilson and is probably the only thing in his life fighting off potentially crippling depression. Further compounded by the fact that, whilst mischievous, he is also a very kind-hearted man who probably has a lot of love to give if only he learnt how to express it properly.
