Ring of the Day: Howdy Pardner
Umm, he did a hell of a lot more than Mr. Bean, see link.
But still so full of WIN!
i agree. Rowan is one of the top 5 British legends. others in the top 5 include David Jason (Del Boy) and John Cleese (Basil).
He was in that Charlie Sheen spoof movie, the one with the body count on the screen, but I can’t remember the name. He played a bad guy in that one, I think I remember.
That would be “Hot Shots! Part Deux”…His character wasn’t so much a bad guy as he was the husband (Dexter) of Topper’s love interest, Ramada.
Great movie…Love the oh-so-touching scene with Miguel Ferrer and Charlie Sheen: “War….It’s faaaaaantastic!”
NOW PEOPLE!!! this photo and capton is about mr. bean, so BEFORE you post hundreds of comments about mr.bean sucking(and i dont think he does)and spamming about blackadder THINK FOR A GOD DAMN SECOND!!1 also mr does talk sometimes…and dont mind posting hate comments after mine because i just wont read them.
And he did mutter some words even as Mr. Bean.
Teddy!
I remember he used to say Teddy when he had his bear all the time.
Black Adder is ALL TIME WIN! Hilarious, historically accurate, and did I mention, Hiliarious???????
And his stand up routines were good too– I will never forget Hells Greeter sketch.
I think in black adder they said that history was a lie or something, which allowed them to say whatever they wanted
mr.bean sucked, im sorry. black adder was MUCH better!! i’ll have the song in my head for days now…
I’ve never seen Black Adder, but I will agree. Mr. Bean sucked.
I like how you hear little of his private life in the news. Most celebrities nowadays flaunt everything about themselves, Mr Atkinson is quite private and therefore far more dignified
Or maybe…he’s a wierd sexual deviant with a dungeon full of fun stuff that he doesn’t want people to know about, and he lures the women there with his ravishing good looks! Or he’s a spy ninja for the government! Conspiracy!!!
LOL his ravishing good looks? Insanity!
Hey, have you seen the man in spandex?! He ain’t half bad looking!!
Sod the spandex, put him in trunk hose and a frilly shirt and I’m SO there!
Does the dungeon of fun stuff include potatoes?
No, but it does include a multitude of thingy shaped turnips.
LOL squared!
what about “earmuffs”?
Yes, and bacon lube!
PeeWee Herman tried to keep his private life private, too, but when it went public, it was anything but dignified! But, in no way am I suggesting Rowan is anything like PeeWee. I have seen bios of him by the guys who worked with him, and he was very well liked, except he seemed to like to get all the limelight, but they laughed when they said that and said it was just Rowan being Rowan. That made me think he was a nice guy or they wouldn’t have been laughing.
What I meant was that most celebrities want you to know who they’re going out with, who they’ve slept with, what they’re wearing, who they like or dislike, what they did out dancing, what their home life is like via reality shows, and they update everything using Twitter. It’s not very professional. I just want them to do their job ie make me laugh, make me cry, amaze me with their talent. The rest of it is worthless
i know he collects flash cars
he also has a ph.d. in electrcal engineering, i think.
I couldn’t swear to that either way, but he can drive an articulated truck; he learnt to do that just because he wanted to.
He’s also a father, search for Gemma Atkinson… you’ll thank me
They’re not related.
Oh thank heavens they’re not.
This works for Charlie Chaplin too, right? And besides, Black Adder was much better than Mr. Bean.
take that back! mr bean’s been my hero since i was six!
hear hear
1 generation = either 20 year, generally (or ~25, depending on who you are talking to). he is only 54
54 << 60 (or 75) … FAIL!
Umm well i don’t think his age matter in that. My parents think he is funny, I think he is funny and my nephew thinks he is funny, so um yeah thats 3 generations.
It’s his audience that spans three generations, not him
Imagen Grandma , mother and daughter watching him, that’s three generations, ok, got it now!
Fail Comment FAIL!
Reading FAIL
wibble
Hear Hear. (:
wheres boldrick
Baldrick spelling fail
I never liked this guy. Especially Mr. Bean. Humor always seemed forced and desperate coming from him. Yawn.
Clearly, someone didn’t understand the subtlety that is Mr. Bean
Typical. I must be wrong because I have a different opinion. Just because it was “subtle” doesn’t mean I have to enjoy it. So I don’t like the guy, doesn’t make him bad or any less talented because clearly he has lots of fans. I’m just not one of them.
Remind us next time we care about you wanting to stand out.
You need to understand more british humor
Have you also seen Not The 9 O’clock News, Blackadder, and his standup? If not, then no issues with you not liking Mr Bean, but disliking 1 character is different to disliking his body of work.
I think he’s creepy looking, personally, which sort of kills my laughter right off.
Rowan is terrificly funny. Also, he did ‘The Thin Blue Line’, not staggeringly funny, but it had it’s moments. Mr. Bean is just… juvenile, purile, doofus humor, and I love it!
File under ‘Epic win’
Totally agree, but shouldn’t it read TALENT instead of ABILITY? It’s more precise.
agree with you, talent would be a much better word choice.
What’s the difference? (I am just curious, not saying you’re wrong)
He is funny, unlike this lol.
who cares what he looks like, he still makes me giggle. ^^
And according to many celebrities who know him, he’s invariably late for most things, and usually has a way of getting out of paying for meals, drinks etc. (The famous “Oh. I’ve forgotten my wallet” ploy)
That would explain it!! I’ve been wondering about the line in “Never Met A Nice South African” for ages!
“Oh we’re a bunch of arrogant borstards with no sense of humor”
Ah yes!! I love that song. (Not to sung in front of my great Aunt, who comes from “Dirbun, Sarf Ifrika”.) The B Side of the Chicken Song. Ah they don’t write them like that anymore
Well, Mr. Again. Post a picture of your face on the internet at multiple sites, try to gain a fame equivalent of his and then we’ll talk.
For now you are a cowardly lame hypocrite.
Wow talk about judging a cover by its book
Am i the only person who cannot stand him?
i am sure he is talented but he just bugs me
I agree with you completely, this guy is annoying and I enjoy a lot of British humor. I’m sure for many he’s a barrel of laughs. For me, all I see is a big barrel of fail.
I didn’t realize that anyone actually thought he was funny.
Mr Bean isn’t funny, but Blackadder is brilliant. He talks in that, though. A LOT.
Atkinson is funny when he’s not playing bumbling buffoons (to nick a Snape phrase).
Here’s an unpopular opinion for you: Mr Bean is the worst crap that came from UK since Benny Hill. God, I can’t think of anyone as “unfunny” und overrated as Mr Atkinson.
Black Adder was VERY good, except for the bits with Atkinson.
Are you my sister? She thinks the same way. She doesn’t like The Far Side either, and that is the most hilarious comic ever.
Whereas I have to wear a pad while I watch Mr. Bean so I don’t embarrass myself laughing!
The Far Side? That comic sucks. Do you laugh a Family Circus cartoons too? Try reading “Lio” instead. Much darker. Much funnier.
I hate Mr. Bean, I never found it funny.
Lol this made it to the front page….finallyyy,
Cast my vote for Mr. A. I dig everything he’s done. So many styles. And his “invisible drum kit” was spot-on priceless.
Saw that only very recently… nearly laughed myself into an early grave.
Never found Bean funny though… just didn’t get it.
He makes me laugh but it is a fairly unique humour which I appreciate is not everybodys taste, thank God we are all different because it would be as boring as fcuk if we all liked the same stuff.
ooo i love mr. bean and i need to see his other films but holy crap hehas always made me laugh with the mr. bean stuff.
Natural talent ??
Why?! Why is this all he’s remembered for?! Rowan Atkinson has done much better then the repetitive idiocy that is “Mr. Bean”!
I liked the first episode of Mr Bean, but after that it just got boring and repetitive.
Same with Blackadder, if I’m honest. The first series was excellent, but from then on in it got crapper and crapper. It turned in to what I can only describe as “catch-phrase comedy” (“I have a cunning plan”, an entire script made out of metaphors and smilies and so on).
The only real exception being bits of “Goes Forth”, and that was more because of the topic than the script. And the ending was one of the best things I’ve seen on TV. It was repeated a few nights ago (25th anniversary of Blackadder I starting) and it still made me go “Wow”.
The first (medieval) Blackadder was very much a curate’s egg, IMO. Blackadder the Second, now THAT was toptastic from start to finish!
Although the first one does have [Vol=11]BRIAN BLESSED[/11] in it.
Ah yes!! The not so late, but still great BRIAN BLESSED (Whose name can only be written in Capitals
) I remember his stint on “Have I got news for you” when he said “You know many people think that Gordon Brown is dead in the water. But not me. I say” (Dramatic Pause) “GORDON’S ALIVE!!!!” (Makes me wonder though I wonder if his wife is deaf yet?? “Do you want toast dear” “YES PLEASE” “Eggs?” “TWO PLEASE” 
Speaking of which, the 25th? anniversary edition of Flash Gordon I bought just to get the BRIAN BLESSED commentry track, and it was worth the money!
I hope you’re kidding. The first series improves as it goes on but the first episode is painful to watch because it is really quite awful. I know they say a cunning plan a lot but the last three were far superior and wittier, with many of their historial jokes just bang on target without being beyond the knowledge of most viewers. The Prince Regent was as bad as that, and the Tudor courts were just as dangerous with heads rolling right and left. I love British history so it really makes me laugh. The first series makes me mourn because it had so much potential; that period of history could have been satired far better. I think Blackadder 2, 3 and 4 becomes funnier the more history you know and understand.
As for the ending of Blackadder Goes Forth, it’s Hugh Laurie that has me in tears at the end. His character is so happy and positive the whole way through, blind to the danger he’s in, and then at the very end he finally admits he doesnt want to die, and that he’s frightened. As good as he is in House, it will always be Lieutenant The Honourable George Colthurst St. Barleigh’s final confession of fear and his seemingly undying optimism that makes him memorable. At least for me.
Oh come on – the last series (Aside from satirising the war, which was well worth it) was nothing but metaphors, similes, Stephen Fry making stupid noises and Darling Jokes, with the occasional knob gag thrown in when they ran out of ideas.
Forgive me for wanting more from my comedy than people saying the same tired thing over and over and over and over again and still expecting a laugh.
And yeah – the very first episode wasn’t a work of genius, but it was mostly a setup and pilot episode rolled in to one (although the original pilot was a lot worse!) it got better, with the Arch-Bishop and Witchfinder episodes being really quite good. Far better than some of the god-awful crap they were churning out at the end.
Oh please. The forth Blackadder was easily the best of the lot, with Blackadder II running a very close second behind it. The satire was at its sharpest, especially since it was such a ridiculous war and it affected nearly every family in Britain from that era. The whole foolishness behind the pigeon and soldiers acting insane in order to get away from the brutality of warfare was all true, but somehow the writers were able to make it funny and poignant at the same time. And as for all the similes and metaphors, thats called worldplay, and its one of the most difficult forms of comedy to pull off right, and usually is only found in high class comedy. if you didn’t find it funny its above your level. Plus having Baldrick as a potential revolutionary and Hugh Laurie in drag makes it all the more classic.
not one comment on his character in RAT RACE??
A race a race gonna win the raceeeeee *sleeps*
Look Teddy! Christmas socks!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ FTW all thw way
BTW, “Oh a race I hope I weeeen!”
Rowan Atkinson is a man who are like a god because without speak any word he makes us a laugh, he is such an incredible person. Rowan Atkinson is my idol i want to be like him..
