Mr. Bean

I always truly loved this very first episode of Mr bean in a way did these goofy stuff in this episode. First he is driving his orange mini car on the way to his university while trying hard to get past his easy to annoy three wheeled car enemy. Then he arrives with a big hit in the car park nd does this stunt to put his old padlock on his car. Afterwards he arrives in the exam room and starts sucking at the exam while he is trying to copy off this man next to him. GAGGLE, GAGGLE! then he is on the way to this ordinary beach where he tries his best to get his clothes off to have a nice hot swim and there is a blind man somehow watching! GAGGLE! And lastly he goes to church and tries to stay awake and a man next to him is freaked out. TRIPLE GAGGLE! This is one show that will just cheer you up when sad or just make you happy for the rest of your boring day!

What you get here sets the tone for the rest of the series, comic genius, innocent fun and total cringe worthy laughs.

Split into two segments, the first sees Mr Bean sit an exam, the second sees him try to put on his bathing shorts, but he has an audience.

The two segments are funny, but the first is a work of genius, which of us hasn't been in an exam, and had a moment of pure panic, when a question has made us feel utterly stupid. The way he tries to spy an answer is genius, and that scene with the Pink Panther is a real laugh out loud moment.

The sequences with the Reliant Robin genuinely make me laugh out loud.

It's 2021 and there are rumblings about him perhaps returning? I'm not too sure it would work now, it is off the time, and boy, wasn't it a great time. 9/10.

For me Mr Bean started with its greatest episode.

I personally find all three main sketches hilariously funny and have so much admiration for Rowan Atkinson's physical performance in each one.

All three are centred around his physical actions, facial expressions and mannerisms with very little else to carry burden of making people laugh. The writers give him three fantastic situations that bring the best of the character.

Anyone who has sat an exam should love the first sketch. So much of it is simply down to what Atkinson does whilst at and around a desk. For me it is a great performance and on par with the famous silent comedians.

The beach is another classic that involves a great physical performance and ends with a fabulously ironic punchline.

In the church scene (similarly to the exam sketch) Bean is in a fixed position for the duration and it is all down to Atkinson's amazing performance to entertain and hold your attention. It is recognisable to anyone who has attended a tedious event where you are talked at for a sustained period by a monotonous presenter. Nowadays church could easily be replaced by a work meeting or "death-by-powerpoint" presentation.

Each sketch is linked by those funny short sequences involving the cars that introduce the running gag well.

I like the bit where he didn't find the right paper till the very end

Well if this is the first episode I wonder what iam gonna see next
