Both "Bean" and "Mr. Bean's Holiday" were great movies. You can watch them a million times and still laugh at the same jokes, even if you know what's coming. That's something powerfull.
"Bean" got fairly poor reviews. "Mr. Bean's Holiday" got 2 of 5 stars from several reviewers on both sides of the Atlantic. I liked them, but hardly powerful.
Not a whole lot of people left in the comedy biz today who are both rich AND deserving of their success. Long before Bean came along, he was a comedic genius. No cheating or overnight success with him. Atkinson’s every inch a comedian, and god grant him even more. Success, Fame, AND Cars.
THE ultimate toilet joke! My boss is British, highly intelligent man and he tells us joke in exactly the same way as Rowan Atkinson said this one and staying SO serious whilst telling a joke is for me incredibly funny!
He was born in Durham in the North East of England, but has a standard RP accent, which he speaks naturally in all the time. Using RP suits some people, he must have lost any trace of a North East English accent by his 20s.
@@AdamSmith75th It's a kind of (British) English that has no local accent, sort of a "by the book pronunciation" English. Many say "The Queen's English". Hope it helps.
Modern day Charlie Chaplin. The movies are good but the show is absolute genius. Everyone no matter what age or where they are from in the world can enjoy this mans comedy. Bean is a god.
@@keithcroissant5640 yes because they will do it with self-deprecating charm and reserve themselves with unnecessary bad language which makes it funnier IMO
He is not just a child who has only grown up outwardly. He is smarter than others. I think we will be doing justice to Mr. Bean if we say that he is the child that lives in every man.
+Whiskey River (Doc) It's odd looking back and seeing Patrick Truman from Eastenders in both Mr Bean and Thin Blue Line, I guess they must know each other, or possibly utter coincidence.
Haha he described playing a bumbling secret agent for a credit card ad, years before Johnny English was created! Someone had a lightbulb switch on overhead!!
He's so polite lol , I would've just said "he sat down and did a massive poo!" Lol. Rowan is always so polite and never really makes rude jokes other than in his t.v shows. It must just be the way he was bought up lol.
always painful , very nearly impossible to watch an educated englishman suffering through mind numbing questions from a late night american host with a questionable education
Rowan Atkinson isn't a naturally funny man. But he is a comic actor and would rightfully be expected to at least make an effort to amuse. Atkinson is too uncomfortable to even bother. Being educated doesn't mean you get a 'pass' to be dull. And most English people are thick. I'm English and I've observed that your average Yank is more intelligent than your average Brit. On 'TH-cam' they tend to have a better grasp of punctuation, for one thing. Their tabloids tend not to be mind numblingly crass, or stupid, unlike ours. Atkinson represents the tiny percentage whose parents could afford an expensive private school. So what? Doesn't make him entertaining. He's not.
aerialkate i dont think british people are thick! definitely. I prefer british movies, comedies, comedians, dramas.. they are more intelligent. one has to listen carefully to enjoy. American movies and music these days are trashy and junk..
jessie james Don't you remember the paedophile (English spelling, after the Greek) business a few years ago. A group of vigilantes were ready to tar and feather a woman whose address they'd found in the Yellow Pages: She was a paediatrician! You're right, a lot of American films are trash, but a lot of them are brilliant and innovative. British films always push that stiff upper lip stereotype. As though every Brit lives in a stately home and has impeccable manners. In my experience (as a working class Brit) the opposite is true. Except for me, of-course...
I am similar to Bean...55 and refuse to grow up. Still surf, skateboard and just generally like to laugh and re- enact characters in movies....yeah, just live and laugh!
i love adam sandler, And Jim carry, Alas Rowan Atkinson makes me do things 0.x ............ More Mr. bean Please... Please... I can not beg enough... Mr. Rowan bring it back X.x....
An interesting segment. Bubbling just below the surface is this sense that they both have a job to do, but they'd give anything just to talk cars all night.
+daveshen0880 the first series, as you have mentioned here, is just really dire. As an Englishman and massive fan of Rowan in most of his works, I implore anyone here who is directed to "check out" Blackadder - to fully skip the first series because it's wholly unfunny and downright weird and go straight to season 2, 3 and then 4 because they are the masterpieces.
+tinpot1978 I'm glad u & said this, I must have caught a few scenes of the 1st season b/c I thought it was really horrible, will have to check seasons 2 on, Rowan Atkinson is really quite a phenomenon, when I first saw Bean, I didn't quite appreciate it, as I grew older & went through diff things, I came to like it, now I'm absolutely love it, Rowan is very talented in his performances, partic of the Bean character & in his comedic stage performances. As a previous commentator said, he's already given us a substantial body of hilarious, very gifted work.
You're quite welcome and thank you for the reply. Watching season one is, naturally, the correct order to watch programmes normally so I only commented to help people avoid this trap. I really do wonder just how many people have been recommended to watch Blackadder and have been put off watching, what I can only describe as, "oddness" that is season one. Poor saps.
+tinpot1978 There are some masterpieces in the first series ! The Spanish interpreter with Jim Broadbent and Miriam Margoyles (many will know her as Prof Sprout in Harry Potter) as the Infanta is fantastic. Rowans character significantly changed for S2-4 and the writing changed due to Ben Elton coming on board and co-writing most of the subsequent episodes. Additionally the later series benefitted enormously from having the complete cast bending and shaping the dialogue at Rehearsal. There is a very good book by John Lloyd , the Producer that documents and explains quite a bit of background. Don't dismiss the first series out of hand. It has some good work and performances that need to be viewed again and again to start to understand some of the humour involved. The pageboy springs to mind . Additional episodes beyond the Four Series also exist. Things for Comic Relief and the like which also add to the genius work that is "Blackadder". Best Sitcom ever, anywhere. Second would be Fawlty Towers.
Then you missed out on some amazing comedy, check out "Blackadder" and "The Thin Blue Line" on TH-cam. Also checkout his Stand up acts, also on TH-cam, Rowan is an incredibly funny guy.

such a gentleman and a highly educated person.....and a decent man with class. love this man.
he's the man!...nobody can do what he does. pure genius at the prime of his career
Mr. Atkinson's interview of Sir EJ is one of the short videos I don't get tired watching ver and over again. He is a sheer genius.
Both "Bean" and "Mr. Bean's Holiday" were great movies. You can watch them a million times and still laugh at the same jokes, even if you know what's coming. That's something powerfull.
I agree, mainly because of Mr. Bean Holidays that I have watched a million of times and laugh in the same way every time that I watch it...
It's called a lobotomy.
"Bean" got fairly poor reviews. "Mr. Bean's Holiday" got 2 of 5 stars from several reviewers on both sides of the Atlantic. I liked them, but hardly powerful.
@@lancebaker1374 Thereby revealing that reviewers are incompetent at judging comedies. Likewise "Dude, Where's My Car?" got terrible reviews.

There is a mistake in the title. Bean is promoting Jay Leno
He's one of the most charming person ever for me.
He's the best actor in the world.

Wow, he speaks so delicately; such a 180 from the almost mute "Mr. Bean." However, different, both express incredibly.
the sign of an educated man.!
I just love the way he articulates his words. Sounds smart and self assured.
He has a Phd in Electrical Engineering, from Oxford University.
@@DieFlabbergast he has a master's degree in electrical engineering, not a PhD.
I love his voice!
He is a genius he is a legend and he is a good personality
He's too intelligent for a late night audience
so so true.. like William Shakespeare being invited to speak at a comic con gathering, or W B Yeats reading poetry on stage at the Coachella festival
Show Me That Riff totally agree he is way too smart for any program or show in america
Ioannis Pasaloukos I agree he has a degree in electrical engineering from Newcastle University
He also went to Oxford University.
I think it's just that he wasn't famous in the US at the time
I really like his accent, he has a standard British accent.
He was born in Durham in the North East of England, but has a standard RP accent, which he speaks naturally in all the time. Using RP suits some people, he must have lost any trace of a North East English accent by his 20s.

I like Rowen's performance very much,more importantly,he is a hero in my family ,in my heart
He is actually quite handsome.
Granny MooMoo that was wat I was abt 2 comment😅
Plastic surgery
I find he is attractive looking..
@@This_tub You are an idiot! He doesn't need plastic surgery! He is born handsome!
Even at that age I still think he's like a dad 😂
"I was doing 114 in an Aston Martin.". I would pay to see Bean doing this, It'd be awesome
One of the all time great comedians. I just watched "Bean" for the umpteenth time...his bit as a guard falling off his chair is perfection!
Modern day Charlie Chaplin. The movies are good but the show is absolute genius. Everyone no matter what age or where they are from in the world can enjoy this mans comedy. Bean is a god.
bean is autistic/ aspergers.
Are you sure he isn't God's mentor?
His my comedy idol
mine too.
I prefer to use He's than His
That's a preference worth imitating, sir.
Natalia Balindong has i
Absolutely gorgeous.
1:13 The character he played in that commercial became Johnny English.
What a gentel person.......and his silent smile just kill me 😍😍😍😍
That toilet story was priceless. Told in a way that only a British person could
In quite a big way
Is that a good thing?

100%согласна!
Rowan Atkinson, he's amazing man!
Atkinson is brilliant, but I never cared for "Bean". I'll take Blackadder, or Thin Blue Line any day.........
+Whiskey River (Doc) Oh god i need to rewatch Thin Blue Line episodes someday
+Whiskey River (Doc) It's odd looking back and seeing Patrick Truman from Eastenders in both Mr Bean and Thin Blue Line, I guess they must know each other, or possibly utter coincidence.
+Whiskey River (Doc) agreed. I find Bean is more popular with the kids.

My nephew is 6 and he loves it, but then I still think it's funny so.... yeah :P
Nah, mate. Blackadder is amazing but Mr. Bean is universal. I used to watch it when I was a kid and couldn't understand a single word in English.
I never thought he was this much handsome 😲😲😲
Amazing how nobody here seems to have seen Blackadder - without a doubt, the greatest comedy series ever produced.
Two comedians met each other. Bring 2 times laughter to all.
had to look up an interview with Mr. Bean..due to the fact that I have never actually heard him talk before
Me too and it's really weird hearing his voice
+Joshua Ingram Then you've obviously never seen his Blackadder series! That's a shame. Check it out on youtube.
+Najwa Ally Watch Blackadder 2, or 3, or Blackadder Goes Forth!
Obviously you have never watched the Lion King.
All of them. Except the yak. He's such a master of impersonations.
Blackadder all the way!
nice sweep pic
Onizuka seasons 2-4 are better than the first one
Yes the first series was poor but the rest is comedy gold
His best work
It's so weird hearing him talk! I love Mr. Bean!
You should watch BlackAdder ;)
Cupit Everybody should watch The Blackadder, it would make the world a better place
Mr bean lives!
I just love Rowan Atkinson :)
Yes Leno, we in Trinidad love Rowan Atkinson and Mr. Bean a whole lot. All 1.3 million of us.
Happy Birthday to Rowan Atkinson. If it wasn't for Mr. Bean and Johnny English, I wouldn't have fallen in love with slapstick comedy. :D
Haha he described playing a bumbling secret agent for a credit card ad, years before Johnny English was created! Someone had a lightbulb switch on overhead!!
We watched mr bean show every friday night with the whole family in asia..he is soooo famous everywhere.
Watch Blackadder and see the other side of his comedic genius
A man with great personality
1:15 - Rowan's stammer just slightly slipped through here, he controls it very well 99% of the time.
sportd boxing
Blackadder and Thin Blue Line - Rowan Atkinson!
Thin Blue Line was pretty turgid. But then he didn't write that, did he
I love how he avoids saying "poo".
He's so polite lol , I would've just said "he sat down and did a massive poo!" Lol. Rowan is always so polite and never really makes rude jokes other than in his t.v shows. It must just be the way he was bought up lol.
I like rowan Atkinson and he taught us a lesson without a hero body everything is possible
If u listen to his voice, you can hear Peter Sellers oh so slightly. He too was a comic genius who we'll never forget.
Wow, Rowan actually acknowledging he had a wife... This is a historical document!
always painful , very nearly impossible to watch an educated englishman suffering through mind numbing questions from a late night american host with a questionable education

Rowan Atkinson is the man!
Dang. I always wondered how he sounds and I am astonished how great his voice is.
CommieFinest He was educated at Oxford.
Josua Mudreilagi dang
Some people really don't get his jokes like this moment on 2:22. He's actually very modest and nice guy.
Rowan Atkinson honed the Mr. Bean character in the 1985 West End stage play "The Nerd".
It's a bit strange to hear him talking so much.
Lela Dos Passos You need to watch Blackadder then.
Unfortunately this series has never happened here in Brazil ..But I will try to watch from internet.
look for his stage shows they're him at his best

Jay Leno is snorting in laughter... says it all
The legend 💖🔥

Heard his own voice first time in life damn he is an amazing person
His English is so good
Atkinson is just a genious!
He's a genius!!

That clip from "Bean" had me crying with laughter.

He's not American. Look how he spells "humour" with a "u." My guess is that he's Irish. He sounds thick enough.
This was the first time i heard him talking with a great accent. Wow!!!
two of the greatest car enthusiasts
the toilet story killed me... :D he´s such a genius, hope he never dies and we can laugh with and about him even in 50 years.. :)
Rowan Atkinson has 'Bean' to America!!!...Good British humor there!
Mr. Bean stand in 1st place in Top Gear racing chart....
Where's your teddy?
Meow!
ikr
+EngPheniks he's sat next to him behind a desk !
We see it in the very final scene in the movie when he's back home. Not all Mr. Bean episodes had the teddy bear in it, anyway.
happy birthday king!

Great that he's not always typecasted as Mr. Bean whenever he promotes another one of his movie.

This was aired almost 20 years ago.
Absolute genius
I'd have liked to be him. He has it all! 😆
so funny!!! smart humor
Cute Mr Bean =)

well Rowan Atkinson is going to sell his... so I guess this coment will soon be irrelevant

Is Rowan Atkinson as big in America as he is in Britain? Because he is HUGE is Britain!
Ah life in the 90s 😭
Island of trinidad....AYE I LIVE THERE
I ended up watching him tell the toilet story for the second time, and I'm still laughing :)
I've never heard him talk before
:-O HE HAS AN ACCENT!!!!
He's from England...
Everyone has an accent. Or nobody has an accent. It's all relative.
You're dumb

Technically he doesn't have an accent because the English language was invented in England, where hes from.
He is a genius comedian
Suddenly I felt an urge to watch Rowan go into the Bean role
Atkinson is a national treasure
