* [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: Views are divided on Mr. Bean's exact nature. While most people seem to view him simply as a [[Cloudcuckoolander]] living in his own mad little world, others, notably Roger Ebert in his [https://web.archive.org/web/20110427042301/http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/19971107/REVIEWS/711070301/1023%2F19971107%2FREVIEWS%2F711070301%2F1023 review of ''Bean''], believe him to be a malevolent individual who delights in causing madness and devastation wherever he goes. And then some thinks that he's a humanoid alien from a planet that is completely unfamiliar with Earth society and technology, due to the opening and closing (this is made canon in the [[Animated Adaptation]]).
** The malevolent theory holds even more water even to the audience. While some of his actions are indeed innocent interpretations gone wrong, in other cases he seems to actually enjoy doing "evil" things, like throwing the door in someone's nose and laughing after, [[The Sociopath|showing no empathy whatsoever]].
* [[Americans Hate Tingle]]: It seems most Americans find Mr. Bean alienating and bizarre, and can't quite understand why this series is as popular as it is.
