“Mr. Bean” is an iconic British comedy series that has made people across the world laugh. Starring Rowan Atkinson (“Blackadder”), the series was known for relying almost entirely on slapstick antics and is very reminiscent of the comedies of the silent era. Here, I give you a list of my personal favourites.
- Tee Off, Mr. Bean
After some antics at the launderette, Mr. Bean goes off to play some crazy golf. However, his poor aim leads to him racking up a truly insane score.
- Mr. Bean
The very first episode of the series is still one of the best. From the moment the character is introduced, we know he’s going to be comedy gold. Mr. Bean causes mischief as tries to cheat in a maths exam and struggles to stay awake during a church service.
- Hair By Mr. Bean Of London
Mr. Bean gives out some terrible haircuts before heading off to a fete where he enters his stuffed toy ‘Teddy’ into a dog show. It all ends with him accidentally shipping himself to Moscow.
- Merry Christmas, Mr. Bean
Mr. Bean spreads the Christmas joy in this episode. Whether it’s the nativity scene in Harrods or the finale involving the turkey, there are just so many wonderful moments in here. It’s one of my favourite Christmas specials ever.
- Mr. Bean In Room 426
To me, the funniest one will always be “Mr. Bean In Room 426”. Seeing Mr. Bean cause so much havoc in a hotel is just darn hilarious. The sequence on the stairs with the old people is brilliant and the way he tries to irritate a fellow guest for no real reason is just brilliant.
