Mr. Bean/YMMV: Difference between revisions

** Dives deep into [[Refuge in Audacity]] in the first movie, where Bean [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|successfully infiltrates a high-security museum and replaces its most-guarded painting]] [[It Makes Sense in Context|using eggs, laxatives, a skateboard, extra briefs, and chewing gum]].

*** Mr. Bean's meddling with Willem Dafoe's movie at the climax of ''Mr. Bean's Holiday'' could be fitting for this trope. The movie Dafoe's directed evidently stinks beforehand until Bean mixes in his handheld footage of pretty much everything - the movie's hottie, the roadside posing, and himself in Nazi gear, and it fits brilliantly to Dafoe's hard-boiled narration to great applause.

* [[Fridge Horror]]: Bean's solution to the destruction of the Whistler's Mother painting in the movie is never gonna hold. As soon as somebody gives it a closer inspection, or (accidentally) touches it, or it's up for renovation of whatever sort, or is ever moved, the switch will become apparent. Not to mention that the whisked egg which Bean smeared on the poster he replaced it with is going to give off an ''awful'' smell after a couple of weeks, cluing everyone in anyway. If the movie had a [[Where Are They Now? Epilogue]], both Bean and David would have been discredited professionally and incarcerated for being complicit in a conspiracy to destroy and steal a national treasure said to be worth fifty million dollars, and David would also lose his family forever. Bean just ''might'' be able to get out from under it or get a reduced sentence with an effective defense arguing that he has diminished mental capacity (putting the blame with the board of the British National Gallery instead for nominating him in the first place), but David's life is absolutely and irrevocably ruined.<ref>Which, to be frank, is partly his own fault. When Bean presented to him what he had done to Whistler's Mother, David should have immediately reported this to his bosses, not try to cover up for Bean.</ref>

* [[Germans Love David Hasselhoff]]: The show used to be huge in Japan. There is an unconfirmed story that a crowd of fans nearly tore Atkinson to bits during his visit to the country.

** It is also very popular in the Philippines, where people have been known to call awkward or funny individuals by the name.

* [[Jerkass Woobie]]: Mr Bean, of course.

* [[Memetic Mutation]]: Magic. *snort, snort*
