Certainly the most iconic character of the British comedian Rowan Atkinson. Mr. Bean is an excentric, selfish and extremely creative middle-aged man who constantly precipitates himself into disastrous situations.
Each episode of the series follows a generic 2-steps plan: 1) As everything could be fine, Mr. Bean puts himself in trouble because of his awful personality. He either doesn't want to wait for something, pay for something, or is jalous of someone else ...etc. 2) Then the Karma hits and he spends the rest of the episode trying to get out of trouble by imagining the most stupid stratagems possible.
The fact that very few spoken words are used makes it universally understandable (which certainly played a huge role in its success during the 90s). More than the gags themselves, the funniest part is the facial and gestual reactions of the main character to various situations.
Thirty years after it first aired, the series remains a classic of sight gag comedy.
