Mr. Bean is an incredibly well-loved Brit Com created by writer Richard Curtis and writer-star Rowan Atkinson, originally broadcast on ITV from 1990–95.The show is about a very odd man – about whom we know almost nothing except his last name – who spends his time wandering around, getting into trouble, finding unique solutions to predicaments, and both wittingly and unwittingly causing mayhem. Mr. Bean is perhaps the ultimate example of No Social Skills. Not only does he seem to be unfamiliar with all social conventions and standard methods for doing anything, he never even demonstrates normal human thought processes – witness his strategy for protecting his furniture and possessions when painting his flat, which is to wrap every single item (right down to individual grapes) in newspaper, not to mention that his method of painting the flat includes a stick of dynamitenote In 2006, the MythBusters tried to reproduce this in real life, with no luck. Considering the mixture of stupidity and inspiration in his way of doing things, Mr. Bean epitomizes the aphorism, "Nothing can be made foolproof because fools are so ingenious."The vast majority of the show's humor is visual, to the point that the eponymous character says only a handful of complete sentences throughout the entire run of the series. Pretty much every plot is based around how Mr. Bean handles an everyday situation, such as going to a department store, going to church, sitting for an exam, etc. In essence, it was a Sketch Show in disguise, especially considering the way that the "plot" was only maintained throughout a few of the episodes. Because of its largely visual and disconnected nature, it was cheap and easy to air in foreign markets as virtually no language dubbing was required, and so was bought by networks all over the world. As a result, the show is big pretty much everywhere, and is still Rowan Atkinson's most lucrative and recognized work.The show was followed by an Animated Adaptation, which was less well-received by some fans who cited the whole point of the original show being Rowan Atkinson's physical performance. That said, it actually lasted a fairly long while, going for five seasons and 130 episodes.note Initially three from 2002 to 2004, but it suddenly came back in 2014 and ran until 2019. It can be found in kids' channels on Pluto TV or the full seasons streaming on Tubi. Two film adaptations, Bean (1997) and Mr. Bean's Holiday (2007), were also made.Speaking greatly to the popularity of the character, Mr. Bean was part of the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games in London, via a skit in which he's part of the orchestra playing the theme from Chariots of Fire (specifically only one note on the electric piano over and over again). That was later announced to be Mr. Bean's farewell, as Atkinson said in November 2012 that he was retiring the character, citing among other reasons the problem of playing a childlike man as he continues to age.However, in October 2014, Mr. Bean returned in an ad for Snickers chocolate bars as part of the brand's "You're Not You When You're Hungry" campaign, where he plays the alter-ego of a Chinese assassin and blunders across rooftops, making a complete ass of himself ...until he's told to "eat his Snickers" and reverts to assassin mode. Atkinson also revived the character to take part in Comic Relief 2015, a fundraising event for the similarly named UK charity (founded by Curtis and Lenny Henry). In the short, Mr Bean gets into hijinks... at a funeral.The entire series is available on YouTube, care of the official channel.

Headphones Equal Isolation
 Mr. Bean / int_10a262e4
comment
Headphones Equal Isolation: In "Mr Bean Rides Again", Mr Bean wears headphones on a plane, and is enjoying the music so much that he is unaware of a member of cabin crew near him. He accidentally slaps her, just before she asks him to look after a young boy sitting next to him. In "Tee Off, Mr Bean", Mr Bean tries to retrieve his trousers which accidentally ended up in a woman's laundry. The woman is wearing headphones (with music loud enough for the audience to hear) and is unaware of Mr Bean's presence. She puts her clothes inside the tumble drier and switches it on, completely unaware that Mr Bean has climbed inside.

Look Behind You: Mr. Bean does this on several occasions: to distract a fellow candidate in an exam so he can copy it; when his girlfriend is hiding his gift behind her back while she waits for him to kiss her; and to distract somebody sitting in a toilet cubicle who has mistakenly taken his trousers so that he can reclaim them by force.

Electric Joy Buzzer: Played with in the episode "Mr Bean Rides Again". Mr Bean goes to great lengths to revive a man who has had a heart attack at a bus stop. He finally succeeds by connecting a pair of jump leads to a lamp post, and shocking the man's chest. When the man is on his feet again, he holds out his hand to shake Mr Bean's. Unfortunately, Mr Bean still has the jump leads in his hand, so the man is shocked again, the lamp post explodes, and the man collapses again.

Gratuitous Laboratory Flasks: In "Back to School, Mr Bean", an unattended laboratory arrangement of various connected pieces of glassware attracts Mr Bean's attention. He finds a beaker of liquid nearby and pours it into an opening in the highly complex arrangement. The glassware starts vibrating furiously, and Mr Bean makes his escape, just before an explosion is heard. Later, a young boy who was nearby is seen covered from head to toe with blue powder.

Take Our Word for It: When Mr Bean is watching television, usually the audience does not see what he sees, only Mr Bean's reaction. The same happens in the horror movie sketch in "The Curse of Mr. Bean"; the audience knows it is a horror movie from the shot of a sign saying "A Nightmare", and Mr Bean making spooky noises before the movie begins.

Ominous Latin Chanting: Parodied with the intro and outro song Ecce Homo. While at first glance it seems to invoke this trope, the lyrics for the song are actually just as ridiculous as the show itself. The intro lyrics are Ecce homo qui est faba (Behold the man who is a bean), while the outro lyrics are Vale homo qui est faba (Farewell to the man who is a bean).

Boring Religious Service: In Act 3 of the self-titled first episode, Mr. Bean attends a church service that is so mind-numbingly dull that he does everything he can to avoid embarrassing himself by dozing off. This is accentuated by the vicar's sermon, which consists entirely of unintelligible mumbling (also voiced by Rowan Atkinson.

Failed a Spot Check: After Bean is done showing off his impressive pen and prop collection at the beginning of the trigonometry exam he's taking and the invigilator tells the students they can open the envelope containing the questions, he pulls out a sheet only containing calculus questions that the man next to him starts working on and not having studied the subject, he spends most of the segment trying to cheat by copying answers off him and despairing over his inability to answer any of the questions. However, a few minutes before the exam time is up, the invigilator mentions a white trigonometry sheet in addition to the green calculus sheet and Bean realizes he never took it out of the envelope and desperately tries to finish the test within the 2 minutes before time is up.

It also offers another explanation for his bizarre behaviour and intrigue at the most basic everyday devices.

Chekhov's Gag
 Mr. Bean / int_22cf50f9
comment
Chekhov's Gag: In "The Best Bits of Mr. Bean", after the church scene from the first episode, Mr. Bean throws a boomerang away, but it comes back to him. He throws it away again, and we see the "meeting royalty" skit from "The Return of Mr Bean". After that, the boomerang comes back again, and Mr. Bean, frustrated, throws the boomerang out the attic window. In the end, Mr. Bean reopens the window to discover that it stopped raining, and, inconvenienced, shuts the window again, and the boomerang comes back to rest on the roof. In "Back to School, Mr. Bean", there's a brief scene of Bean in a chemistry lab mucking up a little boy's experiment and causing an explosion, but getting away just in time. In the next scene, Bean is in an art class, extremely prudish about drawing a nude model, so he scurries away to the pottery section. Just as he does, the boy from the chemistry lab (who is now covered in blue chemical powder) and his mother burst into the room to find Bean... only for the mother to grab the boy and rush right back out as soon as the boy notices the nude model.

 Mr. Bean / int_246c9dc5
comment
Unknown Rival: Mr. Bean sometimes decides to "compete" at a mundane task with a random stranger. In "Mr. Bean in Room 426", he starts racing with a fellow guest at check-in, trying to get to his room first. Despite doing everything in a mad rush (including copying the other man's answer when filling in the guest book), Bean gets his key stuck in the lock and loses the "race", with the other man oblivious to what he was even trying to do. The next day, Bean stages another contest at breakfast, taking double portions of everything the man takes and eating them twice as fast. This is what leads to Mr. Bean guzzling an entire platter of spoiled oysters while the other guest, taking his time, realizes they are off and sends them back. Amusingly, Bean's resulting Acid Reflux Nightmare depicts the other guest laughing at Bean and offering the oysters, because it was clearly his fault Bean ate them.

The only time he wakes from an actual nightmare, in "Mr. Bean in Room 426", the reaction is rather subdued - he sits up and just gasps relatively quietly.

Strangely Specific Horoscope
 Mr. Bean / int_2d30ecda
comment
Strangely Specific Horoscope: In the spin-off book Mr Bean's Diary, he sees a horoscope telling him that he will receive shattering news on 27th March, possibly regarding the number 77. This is just after he bought a raffle ticket number 77 for a raffle which is drawn on 27th March, with a first prize of a week in the Bahamas. Believing that he will win, he buys all his holiday supplies before the raffle is drawn. The ticket does win, but unfortunately, he has lost his ticket, which may be in a rubber band round his diary, as seen on the back cover.

Accidental Passenger: "Mr. Bean Goes to Town": Mr Bean has an itchy foot. He takes off his sock and shoe and puts them on the roof of a parked car, which drives away. Only the roof of the car is visible to the audience, and the driver is Behind the Black. "Mind the Baby, Mr. Bean": As well as the Accidental Kidnapping plot of the baby's pram attaching itself to Mr Bean's car, Mr Bean later ties the pram to a convenient object at the funfair. Unfortunately, he has tied it to the moving part of a flying car ride, which flies into the air, taking the pram and the baby with it. In Mr Bean in Room 426, Bean hides in a trunk, which is wheeled away by a hotel porter, and dropped down the hotel stairs. The final sketch of the series in "Hair By Mr. Bean of London" has Mr. Bean attempt to sneak onto a passenger train by hiding inside a mail bag and sneaking across the platform. Unfortunately, the train leaves before he gets aboard, and then the station crew retrieve the bag and loads it onto its train, bound for Russia, with Bean still inside the bag.

Properly Paranoid: Mr Bean often goes to ridiculous lengths to secure his property. He's right to do it. (A carjacker tries to steal his Mini only to discover that there is no steering wheel.) However, Bean habitually removing his own doorknob for similar reasons almost gets him caught in a paint explosion when he can't find it in the objects he's wrapped up in newspapers.

Bizarre and Improbable Golf Game: Mr. Bean finds himself playing one in "Tee Off, Mr. Bean", in which he accidentally knocks a ball out of the miniature golf park, but continues to play the golden rule: "Always play the ball where it lies." It doesn't matter where the ball goes, even if it's on a bus, down the sewers, or into the dump truck, he will continue his game. By the time he finally gets back to the course, it's just about to close, and he's surpassed three thousand strokes.

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Bean isn't malicious for the sake of it; it's more that he has little to no sense of perspective or sense of self. The movie Bean explores this more fully when he's confronted with the fact that his actions can have horrendous consequences for people around him, and he makes a Herculean effort to set things right.

Comedic Sociopathy: Bean occasionally demonstrates this.

Acid Reflux Nightmare
 Mr. Bean / int_4e07ef21
comment
In "Mr. Bean in Room 426", he starts racing with a fellow guest at check-in, trying to get to his room first. Despite doing everything in a mad rush (including copying the other man's answer when filling in the guest book), Bean gets his key stuck in the lock and loses the "race", with the other man oblivious to what he was even trying to do. The next day, Bean stages another contest at breakfast, taking double portions of everything the man takes and eating them twice as fast. This is what leads to Mr. Bean guzzling an entire platter of spoiled oysters while the other guest, taking his time, realizes they are off and sends them back. Amusingly, Bean's resulting Acid Reflux Nightmare depicts the other guest laughing at Bean and offering the oysters, because it was clearly his fault Bean ate them.

Downer Ending

Downer Ending: Subverted in "Back to School, Mr. Bean". After Bean realizes his car got crushed by a tank, he appears to be distraught, but after examining the wreckage, he finds his padlock intact, and reverts back to his usual self, indicating that that was the only part of the car he was worried about. "Merry Christmas, Mr. Bean". Irma hints, nearly to the point of outright request, that she wanted an engagement ring for Christmas by pointing blatantly at one in a shop window. Bean doesn't really get even such unveiled hints that well, and after Christmas dinner, he proudly presents her with the picture that was sitting behind the ring in the window. This reduces her to tears, leading Bean to try to comfort her until he suddenly realizes he forgot something, says "I forgot the most important bit!" and pulls out a ring box from his pocket, presenting it to Irma. She's overjoyed and hugs him and upon opening the box, it does seem to contain a metal ring...only for it to turn out to be a wall hook for the portrait instead, which Bean then proceeds to obliviously explain the use of to her, as her hopes are crushed again. Realizing he has no intention of proposing, Irma is crushed, and walks out in tears, leaving poor Mr. Bean alone, not even understanding what he did wrong.

Early-Installment Weirdness
 Mr. Bean / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: The first episode is different from all that would follow right from the start, as it omits the usual 'falling from the sky' intro and choral theme song and instead simply begins with a subtitle and jaunty theme, though the standard intro is added on in later releases. In the exam scene, Bean speaks a couple of sentences to another student that are slightly wordier and more coherent (albeit still in a funny-sounding voice) than his usual mumbling. In the same episode, he drives an orange Mini instead of a green one, which he crashes during the credits, perhaps explaining why he probably gets a new Mini later on. The first three episodes are shot entirely on video, before the remainder of the episodes go for the Video Inside, Film Outside more typical of British sitcoms of this era.

Bag of Kidnapping: Twice, Mr. Bean does something similar to this: In "Mr. Bean Goes to Town", a friendly passerby steals his camera in the park. Mr. Bean grabs a meshed litter bin, and plonks it over the thief's head and upper body, before wrestling him to the ground. But the thief escapes and runs off, still with the bin on his head. In "Mind the Baby, Mr. Bean", a Snooping Little Kid interferes with Mr. Bean's fun on the slot machines. Mr. Bean pulls the boy's loose shirt over his head, spins him around, and shoves him aside.

Dangerous Key Fumble: Played with in "Do it yourself, Mr Bean", although not with the key, but the doorknob itself. Mr Bean paints his room by putting a firework in a can of paint and wrapping everything not to be painted in newspapers. He lights the fuse on the firework and dashes for the door, only to remember that the doorknob is detached and in the fruit bowl, wrapped in paper. He hastily unwraps an apple, and fails to open the door with it, before realizing, finding the knob, and making his escape.

Artistic License – Military: Played for laughs with Mr. Bean combing the Queen's Guard's fur hat and sticking flowers in it. As various hecklers have discovered (check YouTube), the royal guards will ignore just about everything except laying hands on them or otherwise actively interfering in their duties.

Sleeping Dummy: In "Do It Yourself, Mr. Bean", he plants a dummy in a sleeping bag in front of a shop he wants to be first in line at for January sales.

Friend to All Children: Hilariously subverted in "Merry Christmas, Mr. Bean". After getting frustrated that everything on TV is either violent or horrific, Mr. Bean hears some young carolers outside his door, and greets them, turning his chair to face them and watch. However, the song starts to make him sleepy, so he gets up with his box of chocolates and nonchalantly slams the door in their faces.

The Comically Serious: The Royal Guard in "Goodnight, Mr. Bean" doesn't move or even change his facial expression, no matter what increasingly ridiculous things Bean does to him (although he's shown eyeing Bean nervously whenever he comes up with a crazy new idea try out on the guard), and it eventually comes time for him to change shifts, and he marches off with total seriousness. When Mr Bean takes an exam, he tries all sorts of tricks to cheat and look at his neighbour's paper. The invigilator is completely unphased and merely stares at him. When Mr Bean has an itchy foot, he takes off his shoe and sock and puts them on the roof of a car, which then drives away. Mr Bean hops to a nearby shoe shop and is greeted by a helpful salesman who has a complete non-reaction to Mr Bean hopping about, or trying to buy just one shoe.

Lost Toy Grievance: A particularly cruel Kick the Dog moment in "Mind the Baby, Mr. Bean". Mr Bean helps a young girl to climb on a merry-go-round horse, quietly stealing her teddy bear. The girl's reaction is not seen, only her distant cries of "My teddy!" can be heard as Mr. Bean mutilates the teddy to use as an emergency nappy for the baby.

Silence Is Golden: Much of the show's international success has been attributed to its reliance on physical comedy over dialogue. The title character is pretty much The Voiceless in the TV show apart from some wordless grumbling, or the very occasional comment. This is averted in the first film, which climaxes with the character giving a big speech about Whistler's mother.

Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist: It's a bit complicated. On occasion, he can be casually cruel, as when he torments the calligrapher in "Back to School, Mr. Bean." On the whole, however, his misdeeds are the result of childish selfishness, curiosity, or misunderstanding, and when Laser-Guided Karma catches up with him it's hard not to feel bad for him.

Cartoon Conductor: Done in "Merry Christmas, Mr. Bean", where Bean conducts a Salvation Army brass band playing "God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen" using a highly complex series of gestures, including fast twitchy movements to indicate a light tempo, sweeps for a more Wagnerian feel, and a funky pace to turn it into a jazz number. It culminates in him modifying the volume by making a gesture indicative of turning down a volume dial on a radio, making the band stop playing. He continues conducting, but nothing is heard until he remembers to turn the band on again.

Asshole Victim: Some victims of Mr. Bean's antics actually deserve it, such as The Bully in "Tee Off, Mr. Bean" and the man who stole his pants in "Back to School, Mr. Bean." If you actually look closely when the man took Mr. Bean's pants, you'll realize that he actually took them on purpose rather than by mistake as he warily looked at Bean when he took the pants. Mr. Bean himself, especially in the hospital episode, where his hand is stuck in a teapot and he steals the ticket of a woman in a full body cast to get ahead in the queue. He gets his comeuppance when the woman gets back her ticket and Bean gets his other hand stuck in a vertical stand-up ashtray after trying to get another ticket and everyone in the waiting room laughs at his clumsiness.

Behind the Black
 Mr. Bean / int_9600368d
comment
Behind the Black: Several jokes work like this. One notable example is "Room 426" when Bean attempts to get past an old woman walking down the stairs by climbing through the outer side of the stairs and somehow doesn't notice an old man ahead until the old man is actually visible on the screen. This gets him trapped between the old man and the old woman, and while the gag works through a camera frame, it probably couldn't happen in real life. On two other occasions, a car is parked, but the audience cannot see that somebody is inside it. In "Mr Bean Goes to Town", Mr Bean takes off his shoe and sock and puts them on the roof of a parked car, which drives away. In "The Trouble with Mr Bean", he parks his car in an impossibly narrow space by getting out of the car, and pushing it into the space; then one of the adjacent cars drives away, the driver invisible to the audience.

Christmas Carolers: After finding nothing but violent films playing on TV on Christmas Eve night, Mr. Bean is greeted by carolers so he adjusts his armchair to watch them. After listening for a few seconds, the song starts making him fall asleep, so he goes to the door and slams it in their faces. This might be a nod to "Blackadder's Christmas Carol", where Blackadder says, "Here's your present, it's a door in the face".

Overly Long Gag: Just before Mr. Bean takes an exam, he takes a pen out of his pocket; then a pencil, then another pen, and another, and another, and another. Then he reaches inside his jacket and takes out a whole handful of pens. Not content with this, he then produces two mascots and an alarm clock. When the exam begins, he dithers over which pen to use; and finally, at the end of the exam when he is writing furiously, the pen in his hand stops working, so he grabs one from his neighbour, oblivious to all the other pens in front of him.

Bathtub Scene: In "Mr Bean in Room 426", Mr Bean discovers that his hotel room does not have a bath, and is furious when he puts his ear to the wall and hears his neighbour having a bath. Later, the neighbour finds he cannot get into his bathroom, and it is revealed that Mr Bean is inside using the bath, having drilled and smashed a man-sized hole through the hotel wall.

Rollerblade Good: A Comic Relief special episode "Torvill and Bean" has Mr Bean in the audience of Torvill and Dean on ice skates. When he finds he is sitting on the wrong side of the arena, he takes a short cut across the ice, in his regular shoes. When he discovers he has left his programme on the other side, he hangs on to a line of skaters, and swipes the programme as he passes. Later, he steals Dean's skates, and surprises Torvill by turning up in Dean's place, performing all kinds of improbable stunts.

All for Nothing: Some of Mr. Bean's schemes end up being for naught. One such example is in "The Trouble with Mr. Bean". While waiting outside the dentist, Mr. Bean pours water onto a boy's lap so he has to go home, all so he can get the boy's "Batman" comic; no sooner does he start reading than he's called into the dentist's room.

A Gift for Themselves: During Mr. Bean's Birthday Episode and the Christmas Episode, Bean is shown giving cards to himself to demonstrate his friendlessness. In the former, he writes a card for himself and puts it on the table while at a restaurant, and in the latter, it's shown that he collects Christmas cards by buying packs of identical cards, putting them in envelopes, walking out the door and pushing them through the slot and then walking into his own apartment with a feigned "surprised" look on his face at the number of cards he had received.

Deteriorates Into Gibberish: A rare scene involving dialogue, and somebody else being funny.

Having tried to coax Mr Bean to co-operate, and having pursued him around the room, the instructor briefly flails his arms and stutters.

One notable example is "Room 426" when Bean attempts to get past an old woman walking down the stairs by climbing through the outer side of the stairs and somehow doesn't notice an old man ahead until the old man is actually visible on the screen. This gets him trapped between the old man and the old woman, and while the gag works through a camera frame, it probably couldn't happen in real life.

DIY Dentistry: In "The Trouble With Mr. Bean", Bean accidentally renders his dentist unconscious and has to resort to filling his own cavity. He ends up putting paste on several teeth (due to the X-ray being readable in four different ways because the holder it's placed in spins around both horizontally and vertically), resulting in him gluing his jaw shut. The dentist wakes up and a startled Bean screams, thus ungluing his jaw.

In "Do It Yourself, Mr Bean", Mr Bean saws a new serving hatch through his kitchen wall, without checking what is on the other side. The telephone rings, just before Mr Bean saws through the cable.

Big Blackout: In "Merry Christmas, Mr. Bean", Bean goes into a side room at Harrods and pulls an electric cord out of its socket to test a pack of Christmas lights he wants to buy. This plug apparently controlled all of the power to the store, and we see the exterior go completely dark before Bean is satisfied with the lights and reconnects the power. When Bean fails to keep Irma Gobb away from another man while clubbing, he spitefully makes his exit by cutting out the power in the club.

(In the same scene, he has a toy dinosaur "threaten" baby Jesus, then fights it using toy tanks and a Dalek.) Mister Bean and his teddy bear read an Asterix comic in the episode "Goodnight Mister Bean".

Gross Gum Gag: In "Mr Bean Rides Again", Mr Bean is on a train journey, with a fellow passenger who cannot stop laughing at his book. Mr Bean tries many ways to block out the sound of this, and finally finds some discarded chewing gum under the seat, which he stuffs in his ears. This works so well that he is completely unaware of the ticket inspector approaching. In the "bus stop" sketch, a baby in a pram cries, and Mr Bean tosses some chewing gum into the pram to silence the baby. The mother then pulls it out, as a long strand.

It Won't Turn Off: A semi-realistic example in "Mind the Baby, Mr. Bean" involves him putting the titular baby inside a coin-operated kiddy ride and depositing a massive number of coins into it so that he can visit rides and attractions himself without having to worry about the baby. This causes a huge line of angry mothers to form in front of the ride that just keeps going on with a baby inside it with nobody attending them, and when Bean returns, the first mother in line asks what the hell he's doing as the ride finally comes to a stop.

British Royal Guards: In "Goodnight Mr. Bean", Bean does an assortment of increasingly pesky things to a guard in preparation for a posed photograph, all while the guard remains perfectly still. It all basically amounts to one hell of a Motionless Makeover. Among the things Bean does to the guard, he polishes the trigger of his gun, trims the guard's moustache to resemble Hitler's, and decorates him with flowers. At the end, the guard receives his orders to march to his next post, Last-Second Photo Failure just before the picture can be taken.

He tries several of them on display by checking for a dialling tone; of course, none is heard, so he assumes they are not working. Finally, he picks up one not for sale which a member of staff had just used, puts it in his basket and walks off, ripping the plug out of the wall in the process. "Merry Christmas Mr Bean": Mr Bean takes home a massive Christmas tree from a town display, putting it on the roof of his car and driving off, while the lights are still connected to the electricity. The connection is ripped out in the process.

Backseat Changing Room: In the episode where Bean is late for a dentist appointment, he does this while driving. More specifically, he bends over the front seat to get his pants on while keeping his feet on the steering wheel and placing a brick on the gas pedal.

Contrived Coincidence: In "Mind the Baby, Mr. Bean", the titular character ends up with somebody else's baby when his car's trunk opens and the knob catches on the baby's pram. After several scenes of him dealing with the baby, which starts crying inconsolably, he ties balloon after balloon to its pram to get it to stop crying with predictable results. He rescues it by shooting out the balloons with a bow and arrow from a carnival stall from earlier in the episode. And of course, it floats down directly in front of its panicking mother.

Congruent Memory: In "Mr. Bean Goes To Town", Mr. Bean's camera is stolen by a thief. Bean manages to catch him by putting a wastebasket on his head and poking him with a pencil, but he runs off with the bin still over his head when an officer arrives. Later, in a police lineup, Mr. Bean cannot recognize any of the suspects by appearance, so he asks for bins to be put over their heads and pokes each with a pencil until he hears the same sound, picking out the thief.

 Mr. Bean / int_e0d0fb13
comment
Please Put Some Clothes On: Mr. Bean feels uncomfortable in the presence of nudity and the show has him disapproving not only of nude models but also of nude art. So whenever he sees a nude statue or a painting of a nude he uses the closest piece of cloth or paper to hide the offending area. With the nude model, he crafts a makeshift bra out of the art studio's clay and gets it on her without the instructor noticing.

It is hinted at by the entry "Put out bin" just before the blank pages, and the diary is found in the bins. After Mr Bean has fawned over a "Mr Wilkinson", the last entry on the page is "Mr Wilkinson borrowing car this afternoon", followed by "car due back". Then, over the page: "Where is Mr Wilkinson???", as it is revealed that Mr Wilkinson is a con man who has stolen Mr Bean's car.

Exact Words: In "Tee Off, Mr. Bean", Bean is told to not touch a golf ball with his hands and to use the putter to move it instead. Normally, the rules make an exception for when the ball goes out of bounds (in which case you return it to the course by hand and set it on the spot closest to where it fell out), but because Bean isn't told about this, the rest of the episode involves Bean going across town attempting to retrieve the ball using only the putter.

Despite the presence of ink stains, it can be seen that his first name starts with an S. In Bean, his passport has his surname as "Bean" and his first name as just "Mr." However, in Mr. Bean's Holiday, his passport reveals it to be Rowan.

Jerkass: In "Tee Off, Mr. Bean", one of the patrons harasses Mr. Bean by shoving him away from one of the front-loading machines, teasing him for wearing a dress, and stepping on his underwear when he tries to put it back on. In response, Mr. Bean secretly switches his fabric softener with coffee, and the bully's white gi is stained brown. The bully chews out the owner of the laundromat for this. Throughout the series, Mr. Bean often comes off as not only bumbling and eccentric but also mean-spirited. He's at his worst in the hospital scene in "Good Night, Mr Bean." He parks his car right behind an ambulance so they can't open their doors, throws a little girl's doll across the room and gets two men to start a fight with each other just so he can be first in line, steals a seat from an old man with a cane, mocks the woman sitting next to him who's in a body cast and switches numbers with her, and changes the number of a little boy from 85 to 850. Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Bean isn't malicious for the sake of it; it's more that he has little to no sense of perspective or sense of self. The movie Bean explores this more fully when he's confronted with the fact that his actions can have horrendous consequences for people around him, and he makes a Herculean effort to set things right.

Vomit Discretion Shot: A variation. When Bean tries to entertain an airsick boy during a flight, he looks for a bag to pop. When his back is turned looking for one, the boy vomits into one of the plane's barf bags. Bean then turns around and takes it, thinking it's empty, blows it up, and the episode cuts to black right as we hear the bag pop.

Mr. Bean is left mumbling all the words along with the general tune until it gets to the one word he knows and shouts triumphantly: "ALLELUIA!" The rest of the first verse has him alternating between mumbling and "ALLELUIA!"

Running Gag
 Mr. Bean / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: When driving about, Mr. Bean is continually having unfortunate encounters with a three-wheeled blue Reliant. The Reliant often gets tipped over. In "Mr Bean in Room 426", Mr. Bean turns everything he does into a competition with the man in the room next to him. He races to receive his room key before this man, races up the stairs while the neighbour uses the elevator. When choosing food for dinner, Mr. Bean takes double of everything his neighbour takes, and imitates his every gesture, including pouring water from a jug, in perfect synchronicity. Once the man actually starts eating, Bean takes it up to eleven and does things like stuffing multiple whole sticks of celery in his mouth and rapidly chomping on them like a rabbit when the man takes a bite out of a single one and ravenously taking alternating bites from a pair of chicken drumsticks he's holding in his hands when the man starts eating his own. This ends up getting him severely ill when he pours multiple oysters down his gullet when the man was just preparing to start eating them before noticing that they had gone bad.

Later, he devises an elaborate plan involving fitting wings to his car, from which dangles a duvet cover containing half a ton of horse manure, and launching the car from the top of a tall building to crush dog owners; but he is stopped by the police.

 Mr. Bean / int_fbd285b7

"Merry Christmas, Mr. Bean". Irma hints, nearly to the point of outright request, that she wanted an engagement ring for Christmas by pointing blatantly at one in a shop window. Bean doesn't really get even such unveiled hints that well, and after Christmas dinner, he proudly presents her with the picture that was sitting behind the ring in the window. This reduces her to tears, leading Bean to try to comfort her until he suddenly realizes he forgot something, says "I forgot the most important bit!" and pulls out a ring box from his pocket, presenting it to Irma. She's overjoyed and hugs him and upon opening the box, it does seem to contain a metal ring...only for it to turn out to be a wall hook for the portrait instead, which Bean then proceeds to obliviously explain the use of to her, as her hopes are crushed again. Realizing he has no intention of proposing, Irma is crushed, and walks out in tears, leaving poor Mr. Bean alone, not even understanding what he did wrong.

Gross-Up Close-Up: In "Mr. Bean In Room 426", Mr. Bean has a nightmare over some rotten oysters he'd binged earlier. We get a sickening closeup of Bean holding an oyster shell up to his mouth, only for slime to spill out.

Brick Joke: "Do It Yourself, Mr Bean": During Bean's failed New Year's party, one of his friends leaves his hat on the mantel, and leaves the party without it. The next day, when Bean paints the apartment with explosives, while he waits for the explosion, the aforementioned friend walks out of the party next door, realizing his hat was missing, and walks into Bean's flat to retrieve it. When Bean enters the room after the explosion, everything has been painted perfectly white... but the silhouette of Bean's friend reaching for his hat is visible by the mantel. "Mr Bean Goes to Town": The first part of the episode involves Mr. Bean setting up his new television set, which only works when he is in just the right position. At the end of the episode, he walks past a shop window full of televisions, causing them all to show fuzzy lines.

Pet the Dog: By Mr. Bean's standards, the scene where he encounters a busker playing the saxophone, finds he doesn't have any small change on hand, and then goes so far as to start dancing nearby just so he can earn some money to tip him.
