I can see a Mr Bean skit where he's driving around trying to find his hotel. Accidentally ends up on a race track and starts overtaking professional drivers left and right while obliviously looking around for anything that resembles a hotel. Half way through his car seems to be making a clunking sound. So he drives into a pit stop thinking it's a mechanic. The crew impressed with him, changes his wheels and fills up his car. Mr Bean impressed with the speedy service gives one of the crew a tip before driving off.
I feel contrary. I think Rowan Atkinson is the engineer of humour when it comes to humans and after experimenting enough he has figured it out. His manners appear more like totally calculated instead of natural and by instinct.
The fact that he really does have some pretty serious driving experience and was still able to act silly while driving that course should tell people that he is one of the greatest comedians ever.
Rowan had a stuttering problem which contibuted to him limiting his talking in his early career but later recognized that by letting his visual expressions and actions talk for him he was able to reach a much wider audience with his comedic genius. Other than the “Mr Bean” character he played other roles where he was extremely verbal and articulate
Yes, he has a stammer, and it caused him to be rejected from earlier roles, so he came up with character Mr Bean. He loved visual comedy, and wanted to come up with a character who didn't use words. He was a master of making faces, and used that as well. Richard Curtis helped him, and wrote ALOT of the sketches along with Rowan and Robin Driscoll. Rowan is known as Mr Bean here in the US, and mainly Blackadder and Not The Nine o Clock News in the UK. Either way, he's a legend and one of the most beloved comedians of all time. Plus, he's an amateur race car driver, so he's a really good driver.
@@rrebel9939 That is like saying you are Roman because your ancestors were so, but do you speak Latin, bake Roman bread and celebrate the old Gods? No. You do not so how can you be Roman?
Indeed. Possibly in tandem with his humility, it's an expression that says, "Okay, I'm the fastest person on Top Gear, that's nice. Not going to gloat or hold it over anyone, though."
@@DistanceNsVeterans Yes, as my profile picture likely indicates. I've actually begun making railroad-related videos myself, though at present I only have one uploaded to my channel.
@@derekyam1805 it didn't go over anyone's head. He didn't say "bean" he said "be", as "bean" would've been the wrong word to use. He wouldn't have said "We thought the record would never BEAN beaten", what he said was "We thought the record would never BE beaten".
Okay but that was such a clean lap: he was so smooth on the entry and he hit all the apexes very precisely and used up all the track that was given to him on exit, and is right on the limit of the tires everywhere as you can hear the tires chirp. What a proper driver!

I find myself coming back to this video quite often for two reasons. 1. Watching a legend ace the track and come out on top of the ladder 2. love how humble he is with his words even after being on top. PS I wouldn't have been surprised if he came out as the stig after this episode 😆😆😆
"In March 2001, while Atkinson was on a holiday trip to Kenya, the pilot of his private plane fainted. Atkinson managed to maintain the plane in the air until the pilot recovered, and was able to land the plane at Nairobi's Wilson Airport." -"Atkinson 'averted air disaster'". bbc.co.uk. 24 March 2001. Retrieved 5 July 2015. ENOUGH SAID
Well, that's if you haven't ever seen any of his movies. I highly recommend Johnny English and Johnny English Reborn, amazingly hilarious movies. Also, many people don't know this but Rowan Atkinson is highly educated, before his career in media and entertainment he went to university and he holds a PhD degree in Electrical engineering from Oxford university with an IQ of over 120. A brilliant mind and a brilliant talent.
Actually almost everybody with a degree has an IQ of at least 120. I have 125+ and I am an absolute buffoon! I bet Rowan has an IQ of at least 135, if not higher...
Well he has an IQ of 178 and holds a masters degree in Electrical Engineering. He just chose to take the comedic route and became one of the most beloved comedians of all time.
Know what's like the most amazing thing about this video? Something which I was sure, at first, was fake, but then later decided it was real. At 3:55, the tall guy in the white shirt is like smiling and stuff, then when Clarkson says "You're in the wrong career", look at what happens to his face! Amazing ..
I am absolutely in awe and might I say besotted with the man. Rare combination of class, brains, charm,looks, humility and a certain “je ne sais quoi”.
he's so humble. he looks particularly introvert for being an iconic comic character, i guess that's why Mr.Bean doesn't talk, he's not a person of many words but instead makes a great use out of the few.. he's so smart he can make you laugh without saying a word, and still being faster than everyone being humble about it!
In person he's actually very shy and reserved. Some people think shyness or being quiet is cold and detached, but he's just shy and quiet. Everyone who's met him say he's very polite just not talkative.
I love Rowan he is so down to earth I love he got to top the chart:) such a genuinely funny man but you can tell he is so reasonable and logical. A smart and kind man, we need more like him!
He was so emotional after getting to top of the leader board, his eyes went all red and teary and he was trying to hold it together bless him, 3:41 I'm glad he beat them all, he doesn't half have a passion for cars and he's hilarious :')
I kept thinking he was going to take the hands off the wheel and pour himself some tea in the middle of the lap... He made me laugh just out of expectation when he was not even trying... LOL!
He is a very intelligent man. Rowan Atkinson, born in 1955 in the UK, completed his bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from Newcastle University. In 1975 Atkinson went on to continue his studies to obtain a Master’s of Science in electrical engineering from The Queen’s College, Oxford. Although Atkinson did not complete his master’s studies, preferring to take his present career as a comedian, it shows that he knew what he was doing, as, if he followed engineering, he would not have been known, nor respected, nor paid, as he is a comedian. He was so intelligent in measuring the pulse of our society and catered for what people wanted.
This man is the epitome of CLASS. If you know anything about Rowan's life and career, you'll have to agree. And it's also so funny when you think about what he's most known for.
I feel sad being so delighted in the comedy of Rowan when he clearly has spoken on his desire to be taken seriously as an actor, and try to lead roles where he isn't silly, and I genuinely believe the skill of the man shows in everything he does, It's a shame when talent is pigeonholed into a career that is ultimately unfulfilling. I do take great joy in all his work, but I also wish for him to experience the same joy that he gives to all of us.

1. Watching a legend ace the track and come out on top of the ladder
2. love how humble he is with his words even after being on top.
PS I wouldn't have been surprised if he came out as the stig after this episode 😆😆😆

Atkinson managed to maintain the plane in the air until the pilot recovered, and was able to land the plane at Nairobi's Wilson Airport." -"Atkinson 'averted air disaster'". bbc.co.uk. 24 March 2001.

ENOUGH SAID
typingreallyfast holy shit.
patheticmada 😂
typingreallyfast he's gangsta
It's unusual to see him talk.
Well, that's if you haven't ever seen any of his movies. I highly recommend Johnny English and Johnny English Reborn, amazingly hilarious movies. Also, many people don't know this but Rowan Atkinson is highly educated, before his career in media and entertainment he went to university and he holds a PhD degree in Electrical engineering from Oxford university with an IQ of over 120. A brilliant mind and a brilliant talent.
I'd recommend against basing assumptions of intelligence on IQ. But yes, Rowan Atkinson is brilliant, and JE Reborn was even better than the first.
I would recommend his performance in Blackadder for 4 series, he's one of the greatest tv anti-heroes.
Actually almost everybody with a degree has an IQ of at least 120. I have 125+ and I am an absolute buffoon! I bet Rowan has an IQ of at least 135, if not higher...
zanele Magwaza Ikr lol! I'm just used to hear mr.bean mumbling of some sort XD
OMG Mr.Bean can talk.
ahaha 😂
Am surprised as well. :O
and he doesnt age at all
that's true. idk how???
Lol
Jeremy almost cracked a smile when Rowan said "...good" after the "1" 😭
Goofy on-screen, Alpha in life. Bravo Mr Atkinson.
- "So you did it in...1..."
- "Good"
Im dead 😂
Good.
He CANT STOP the Mr Bean charecter from coming out EVEN IF HE WANTED TO.Its so engrained in him.
His accent tho! Lol!
So many people haven't seen Blackadder and it shows. Man's a genius of the Sarcastic comedy.
Rowan Atkinson saying "what an ass" to himself at 1:48 😂😂😂
LOL 😂
😂
3:12
this is why i love this guy
he can talk?
yakikadafi hes more intelligent than youre hole family
Boris Neumann *your
lol
Boris Lakers the irony...
All humans can talk dude its common sence lol
This is by far the best Rowan Atkinson youtube clip off a tv show. I had a tear in my eye when I saw the lap time
Mr Bean appears so poised and proper here fantastic to see the difference between Rowan and his character 😂😂
Well he has an IQ of 178 and holds a masters degree in Electrical Engineering. He just chose to take the comedic route and became one of the most beloved comedians of all time.
I have a lot of respect for this guy
me too
Rowan Atkinson looks like George Clooney
I know what you mean, I grew up on this chap
Know what's like the most amazing thing about this video? Something which I was sure, at first, was fake, but then later decided it was real. At 3:55, the tall guy in the white shirt is like smiling and stuff, then when Clarkson says "You're in the wrong career", look at what happens to his face! Amazing ..
Guy was like DAFUQ??
HAHAHA! Brilliant reaction!
I think he might be a fan XP
Apparently! Johny English is a better car driver than Ethan Hunt.
Such a respectful man, good mannered .... i carry soo much respect for this person, amazing personality , polite, astonishing ... :)
9 years passed. TY TH-cam actually it's the right time
Rowan Atkinson looks exactly like Mr.Bean
guess why smart guy
Pretty sure Rocco knows that, he's making a joke.
probably if so i apologize
Mind you, all joking aside, you've got to admit he does look like him.
+Otacatapetl nope
I am absolutely in awe and might I say besotted with the man. Rare combination of class, brains, charm,looks, humility and a certain “je ne sais quoi”.
Absolutely good driving, the out-in-outs are handled beautifully. Amazing technique.
There is no person in the world cooler than Rowan Atkinson.
Should put BEAN round in his Mini... He can drive I tell ya... lol
He was 2 sec faster than Nigel Mansell, Rubens Barrichello and Sebastian Vettel
that is just crazy
pretty sure the F1 stars were using the Suzuki Liana
Tom Cruise was also pretty darn fast if i remember correctly
he's so humble. he looks particularly introvert for being an iconic comic character, i guess that's why Mr.Bean doesn't talk, he's not a person of many words but instead makes a great use out of the few..
he's so smart he can make you laugh without saying a word, and still being faster than everyone being humble about it!
In person he's actually very shy and reserved. Some people think shyness or being quiet is cold and detached, but he's just shy and quiet. Everyone who's met him say he's very polite just not talkative.
Nah ENTP
He will always be Mr.Bean.
Ye tedddyyy
john alden Nah, he'll always be Edmund Blackadder IMO. Watch it if you haven't seen it, one of the greatest British sitcoms of all time.
Patrick S no he will always be Johnny English IMO
Just shows how cool he is. He didn't even lean forward like most celebs do when his time was announced. What a legend
1:03 Rowan when he gets chased by the police be like:
He's an engineer, not surprised. Not to mention the way he drives in Mr. Bean.
I love Rowan he is so down to earth I love he got to top the chart:) such a genuinely funny man but you can tell he is so reasonable and logical. A smart and kind man, we need more like him!
He was so emotional after getting to top of the leader board, his eyes went all red and teary and he was trying to hold it together bless him, 3:41 I'm glad he beat them all, he doesn't half have a passion for cars and he's hilarious :')
He is a true capricorn. That's why he felt his emotions welling up but controlled it. watch him swallow.
Tears in his eyes! Such a legend and an owner of a good voice too. Love you...
look how humble he is.
truly a great man.
One of my most favored interviews on old TG. He has such presence to him. He's funny, he's extremely smart and has a bee for cars and driving them.
I kept thinking he was going to take the hands off the wheel and pour himself some tea in the middle of the lap... He made me laugh just out of expectation when he was not even trying... LOL!
He is a very intelligent man. Rowan Atkinson, born in 1955 in the UK, completed his bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from Newcastle University. In 1975 Atkinson went on to continue his studies to obtain a Master’s of Science in electrical engineering from The Queen’s College, Oxford. Although Atkinson did not complete his master’s studies, preferring to take his present career as a comedian, it shows that he knew what he was doing, as, if he followed engineering, he would not have been known, nor respected, nor paid, as he is a comedian. He was so intelligent in measuring the pulse of our society and catered for what people wanted.
This man is the epitome of CLASS. If you know anything about Rowan's life and career, you'll have to agree. And it's also so funny when you think about what he's most known for.
If I am not wrong, he studied for Engineering
@@fishyc43sar yeah he got a masters in electrical engineering, pretty sure it was from Newcastle. I remember the uni bragging about it on an open day
I feel sad being so delighted in the comedy of Rowan when he clearly has spoken on his desire to be taken seriously as an actor, and try to lead roles where he isn't silly, and I genuinely believe the skill of the man shows in everything he does, It's a shame when talent is pigeonholed into a career that is ultimately unfulfilling. I do take great joy in all his work, but I also wish for him to experience the same joy that he gives to all of us.
Dsuranix Like mark Hamill, it is impossible for him to be seen as anything other than Mr Bean or Blackadder.
Whoami691 Or Johnny English :D xD
+EatYellowSnow #B1Sn johnny English sucked as a movie
+Dsuranix To me, the man is typecasted.
+Dsuranix Pish posh !
He is legend. Definitely. Agree. Not only a simple star. Legend.
+Kakha Khmelidze Absolutely
Rowan has such an incredible voice. Off to listen to more interviews...
