Mr. Bean: Difference between revisions

Line 14:

Followed by an [[Animated Adaptation|animated series version]], which was obviously less well-received by the fans, as Mr. Bean's charm is that he is an actual person doing embarrassing things for real.

In 2006, the ''[[~~Myth Busters~~]]'' tried to reproduce Mr. Bean's "dynamite in a paint bucket" method of painting his flat, with no luck.

[[Not to Be Confused With]] Mr. Bean the Postman from ''[[The Comic Strip Presents]]: Dirty Movie''.

Line 59:

* [[Drives Like Crazy]]

* [[Free Wheel]]: Every time Mr. Bean crashes the Reliant Robin offscreen.

* [[Funny Character Boring Actor]]: Atkinson doesn't regard himself spontaneously witty. A "making of" video of ''Mr. Bean's Holiday'' shows how meticulous Atkinson is in planning all of the gags.

* [[Genius Ditz]]: Bean seems to have great difficulty handling everyday problems, but comes up with quite intricate and ingenious ways to navigate them.

* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: [[One Foot in the Grave|Victor Meldrew]] is the dentist.

Line 100:

* [[Star-Making Role]]: For Atkinson in the States. He was already a star in the UK when this show came about.

* [[Status Quo Is God]]: Poor Teddy gets decapitated in "Mr. Bean in Room 426", used as a paintbrush in "Do-It-Yourself, Mr. Bean", and shrunk in the wash in "Tee Off, Mr. Bean", but is back to normal at the beginning of the next episode.

** Possibly [[Doing in the Wizard|explained]] in the final episode of the animated series, in which it's revealed that {{spoiler|Teddy is possibly of alien origin, because Mr. Bean is from a race of [[Human Alien|human-like aliens.]]}}

** We do see Teddy receive a new pair of eyes in "Merry Christmas, Mr. Bean" which he retains throughout the series, his head is shrunk while at the laundry which stays for at least one episode, and Teddy's decapitated head shows up a few times (not that sewing a head back onto a stuffed animal is hard to do) so it is averted in some cases.

* [[Stuff Blowing Up]]: His method of repainting his entire flat in one fell swoop basically consisted of putting some fireworks into a tin of paint, lighting the fuse and running. This was actually busted by ''Mythbusters''.
