Fireworks and the Unlucky Mr. Bean

With millions of fans on Facebook, Mr. Bean has to be one of the funniest characters to appear on TV in years.

Idolised in Germany, the antics of this almost silent comedy star are reminiscent of the greats of the silent movie era and has put both the Mini and the Reliant Robin back on the map for completely different reasons. Just a look from Mr. Bean played by Rowan Atkinson is enough to make anyone laugh, some of his antics such as the “changing on the beach” sketch and “painting with fireworks” will remain comedy gold for some years to come.

In this TV ad for Fuji film, Mr. Bean’s usual bad luck comes to haunt him as he celebrates the New Year’s Eve fireworks with Teddy.
