I think the reason why people like Mr. Bean is that it has its roots in the old silent film comedy type. For me, it always seems like Charlie Chaplin as a form of visual humor and character-based rather than words. Also, I think there is a simplicity and childish nature of it makes it quite lovely. A child / puppet / cartoon character can get much farther than this without seeming rude or abusive because it is a 'naive' source is coming from and that's what I think .
Mr.Bean i love him a lot. whenever i feel bored i watch his tickling episodes repeatedly to cheer up.
Mr. Bean was the best period. I would watch his shows all the time in the past. He came out with a movie a few years ago and all I could say was the landscape had me wishing I was there! Post the movie if you can.
