The show was broadcast in 190 countries, and it has spawned two major motion pictures that have each grossed over $250 million, plus a popular animated series and multiple Mr. Bean commercials.

The Mr. Bean Show is the most watched in-flight program in the world and is carried by 50 airlines at any one

Mr. Bean is a fascinating character.

He is bumbling and petulant.

Rowan Atkinson describes Mr. Bean as a child in a man's body.

He certainly has the curiosity of a child and a complete inability for any adult social interaction.

He is also without scruples, is quick to cheat, and often destroys property without a second thought.

His facial expressions and rubber physicality are hilarious.

Mr. Bean is gifted at creating chaos and has an absurd way of solving problems.

One of my favorite scenes is when Mr. Bean decides to change out of his clothes and into his swimsuit while standing on a public beach.

He begins with putting his swimming trunks on over his pants, then somehow manages to take off his pants while threading them through his trunks.

It is a virtuoso piece of physical comedy.

Search Mr. Bean at the Beach on YouTube.

You won't regret it.

How popular is Mr. Bean?

Well, he has more YouTube subscribers than Adele and almost twice as many Facebook followers as Taylor Swift.

That should tell you everything you need to know.

Mr. Bean's constant misfortune is our never-ending joy and how lucky we are.

Mr. Bean is a brand I envy.

When we come back, the word motel first appears in the dictionary.
