[–]Rocheforte 24 points25 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I think it's a hard toss up in Blackadder though. No doubt Rowan does a splendid job on the show, but Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry are phenomenal as well. I think much of the show's success can be attributed to how well they each could play off of each other and just the raw comedic talent that they exhibit.

Tony Robinson. Totally.

[–]Honey_Otter 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I find it hilarious how Rown Atkinson, Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie ended up as superstars and Tony Robinson did Time Team, a shitty daytime TV show on channel 4.

[–]faceplanted 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Time team's still generally interesting and he seem content, it's a weird thing about comedy actors in British media, they usually end up doing stuff engineering or history related, for example most of the main characters in red dwarf did something engineering related later on (robot wars, scrapheap challenge, some show about planes from rimmer etc) I could go on but won't.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

There wasn't a weak character on that show, but Brian Blessed as Richard IV is probably one of my favorite television characters of all time. He absolutely made that first season happen.

I have never once laughed at Mr Bean. I just recently discovered Blackadder, finished watching it the other day, and I love it. So much genius in it.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Nope nope nope.

Mister Bean is 100% Rowan. I do like Blackadder, but it's an ensemble show and I don't even think Rowan is the funniest character (at least not consistently). Frankly Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry, as well Rick Mayall, steal every scene they are in.

Also the laugh track gets tiresome after a while.

Since we're on the subject, I hate the direction they took Baldrick's character. In Season 1 Blackadder was an naif and Baldrick was sort of his handler. By Season 3 Baldrick had become an absolute fucking retard and Blackadder was some kind of cunning genius.

[–]nesorma 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

With Blackadder becoming more intelligent in subsequent seasons, it makes sense that they needed to dumb down Baldrick's character so that the two would better play off one another. I think it would have been a much different show if they had both been cunning geniuses.

Mr Bean is, without a shadow of a doubt, the single WORST thing Rowan Atkinson has EVER done. Fuck Americans for finding out about it long after it had died and thereby making it popular again.

Atkinson is brilliant. I only knew him from Mr Bean when I was younger, and the sketches and character were just hilarious. Then I became a little older, and Mr Bean became a little more trivial - and then I watched the entire Blackadder series.

He is part of british comedic history for sure

Laurenanne727, don't let them chastise you for not knowing the actor's name (or maybe you did know it, but you thought more people would recognize the name "Mr. Bean" more than "Rowan Atkinson", so you kindly put the former in the title).

In the past, Hugh Laurie was best-known for playing idiotic and silly looking bumblers, while Rowan Atkinson's biggest role was Blackadders two to four, a cunning and handsome rogue with a sharp tongue and less-than-ethical methods.

... Hugh Laurie must have stolen Atkinson's mojo in the 90's. Then, he held on to it, guiltily and enviously witnessing Mr. Bean happen. Overcome by his paranoia and that he couldn't cope with what he had done, he escaped to America where he finally used Atkinson's mojo to transform into Neohughlaurie.

Check out Black Adder, it's much, much better than Mr. Bean.

"The guy who plays Mr. Bean" Mate, that's actually his real name. The Mr. Bean show is a documentary about a man with a serious metal illness which some find to be "funny".

If you're American and also like House I seriously suggest you look up Black Adder. It seems to be almost unknown in the US.

I want to upvote because you're right, but I want to downvote because you don't know who Rowan Atkinson is.

Mr Bean is, objectively, far from his best work.

My problem isn't that you don't know who Rowan Atkinson is, it's that you couldn't take the fifteen seconds required to google it.

The title of this post is the equivalent of saying "That guy who plays Monty Python". Dude... fucking Google.

Would it have been that hard to Google "Mr. Bean" and find the name first?

Rowan Atkinson's stand up is some of the best.

I learned to make that face as a child. I then proceeded to print out a bunch of money with my face making that face on it.

I don't know whether to upvote for the Mr. Bean movie gif, or downvote because of "The guy who plays Mr. Bean."

Not a fan of Mr. Bean, but I love his Stand-up.

It's really too bad there's no way to ever find out what his real name is. ಠ_ಠ
