10
Episode 1, Mr. Bean.
11
Wow. So original.
12
Yeah.
13
Decided to check this one out over here.
14
I grew up on some Mr. Bean.
15
Episodes here and there.
16
Not seeing the entire series.
17
So this is going to be fun.
18
First time really seeing the entire series right here.
19
I've seen one of the films also right there.
20
I think that there is two.
21
If I am correct, full length films.
22
But you really haven't seen anything.
23
No, I've never seen anything Mr. Bean.
24
My only memory is I know it's Rowan Atkinson.
25
And I know that he was big.
26
Like I know that a lot of people liked him, but honestly, growing up, I confused him and Pee Wee Herman.
27
I confused them a lot and I didn't watch either of their stuff.
28
I only ever saw like commercials about their things.
29
Like I either saw commercials about their movies coming out or commercials about the show, but I never actually have seen the show.
30
I don't think my parents liked it.
31
Do you know anything about the concept or what it is?
32
No, not really other than just maybe
33
maybe like light like maybe I've seen like a clip here
34
or there of like Mr. Bean and like his movement and stuff but I don't know anything.
35
I don't know.
36
I just know he's kind of silly and kind of goofy.
37
That's about it.
38
Perfect.
39
So let's check it out over here.
40
Gonna be watching the entire episodes but gonna be cutting it out for YouTube.
41
Full link for reaction to these episodes can be found down below in the description.

If I'm correct it's 14 episodes.
45
12 or 14 episodes.
46
Oh okay.
47
How about
48
that? short limited series i ran from 1990 to 1995 is what i looked up over here 14 episodes in that time
49

50
back in the early 90s wow right here
51
so let's just check it out this is bringing me back to my childhood It's
52
so interesting also because I'm like, you weren't born when this came out so this had to have been reruns.
53
Yes.
54
This had to have been reruns like in Canada.
55
I don't think Mr. Bean ran around in channels on Nick when I was in America as a kid.
56
I don't know.
57
He's one of the writers right here.
58
Interesting.
59
No. That doesn't surprise me surprise me.
60
Hey.
61
Man, that aspect ratio.
62
Yeah, that aspect ratio.
63
But I mean, it's no different from Spongebob.
64
No, no. But this is also TV.
65
This is older TV.
66
Oh my gosh.
67
He looks so young.
68
It's crazy that he's in the Wonka movie because he's so old.
69
Yeah, that's it.
70
I mean, this is 30 years ago.
71
Yeah.
72
35 years ago.
73
I mean, yeah, look at him.
74
It has a lap track.
75
I forgot about that.
76
It's like there's a lap track.
77
I completely forgot about that.
78
It's the most British, like, car and license plate.
79
Gotta lock his lock.
80
Gotta love his lock.
81
Ah, okay, that's cheeky.
82
Oh my god!
83
No!
84
Okay.
85
You know he's in a safe place where he's able to do that.
86
Driving course?
87
I mean, this is clearly not high school.
88
If they try to pass him for a high school...
89
No, get out of here.
90
Maybe like community college, I don't know.
91
Yeah, something.
92
He always looks so confused.
93
But the physicalness of Mr. Bean is what's fun.
94
Yeah done your revision oh yes I've concentrated on trigonometry I've
95
done calculus mainly I believe they concentrated on calculus last year hmm oh dear
96

Little cop.
127
This is a long two minutes, you're right. That looks...
128

130
He needs that for, like, mortal support or something.
131
Putting it back, yep.
132
God, I see the time.
133
Gotta know how much time you got, you know?
134

137
The exam starts now.
138
Okay.
139
Green sheets.

Oh no. This is not what he expected.
142
Oh no. Is it actually calculus?
143
Is it calculus?
144

145
Is it actually calculus?
146
Oh god.
147

148
Oh, he knows.
149
Oh, he knows what to do.
150
Cheat.
151
Okay, what pen?
152
Oh, boy.
153
I mean, he's got too many.
154
He's got too many to decide.
155
Imagine none of them work.
156
Yes, that's what I just thought of.
157
I'm like, what if none of them work, and the entire time it's him trying to find a pen that works, and then he runs out of time.
158
That's it.
159
When you just write your name.
160
Every time I have an essay you write like the first word.
161
Cheat.
162
Come on.
163
That's it.
164
When you gotta fake it.
165
Nice.
166
Okay, now where you go, where you go.
167
He did that really smoothly.
168
He did.
169
I want to know how he did it.
170
I almost feel like they pulled a rug.
171
Yeah, we came on it because of how smooth it is
172
Like he couldn't move like that if it wasn't like I feel like they're pulling a rug like you like tiptoeing.
173
Yeah.
174
Oh My god no no be careful if you like it.
175
He's gonna hide it.
176
Yeah He got you.
177
Yep.
178
Yeah I love how a dude of a friend of a t-shirt doesn't care.
179
Doesn't care.
180
Doesn't care.
181
None of the slightest.
182
Oh, that's fun.
183
Yeah, no. That was the same with physical comedy like this.
184
It's like that we don't see the chairs, so he can basically do whatever behind that table.
185
Anything underneath him.
186
Yes, please pop out from the other side.
187
He has to.
188
Yes!
189
Yep.
190

193
Okay, he has been watching this the whole time.
194

195
He's been watching this the whole time.
196
Man, he knows he's failing.
197
He knows he's failing.
198
Oh boy.
199
Time's running out buddy.
200
Yeah.
201
At the end, with those who answer the green calculus papers, please put them in the green box.
202
It is calculus.
203
He got calculus.
204
The white trigonometry papers, please put them in the white box.
205
Stop.
206
Oh, stop.
207
You have a choice to do with you.
208
You could've been to!
209
You could've been to!
210
But now he has two minutes!
211
He has two minutes!
212
You son of a bitch!
213
Okay!
214
Oh my god!
215
And now it's not gonna work!
216
And now his pens aren't gonna work!
217
And now his pens aren't gonna work!
218
You got all those buddies.
219
Stop writing, please!
220
That's it.
221
That's it.
222
Time's up.
223
I said stop writing!
224
Oh my god.
225
Oh my god.
226
Oh my god.
227
Stop writing!
228
Oh!
229
Oh man!
230
Awww Awww Last minute.
231
Last second.
232
Dude, he didn't even check.
233
He didn't even check for the other paper.
234
That's the same car.
235
That's the same car.
236
Yo, my car's tiny.
237
Yeah.
238
These guys are always tiny.
239
Oh, jeez.
240
Yo, both stairs.
241
He's in a suit.
242
On the beach.
243
Maybe he's just here, you know, I want to sunbathe a bit.
244
Enjoy the...
245
What is this beach, though?
246
It kind of looks like a port.
247
Yes.
248
Yes.
249
Yes.
250
Look at that.
251
Look at that face.
252
Yup.
253
Come on.
254
How did he not see him?
255
He didn't see him.
256
You could go back on the stairs, maybe.
257
Yeah.
258
You know, hide a little bit up there.
259
Yeah.
260
He's not gonna do that.
261
That's too easy.
262
Nice.
263
Nice.
264
He's good at like faking it, you know, when he's looking elsewhere or here like improv.
265
It's a physical comedy and he's got also kind of a similar Jim Carrey elastic face type thing going on.
266
That's what I was gonna mention.
267
This is a few years.
268
This is four or five years before Jim Carrey.
269
Yeah, it is.
270
It is.
271
I'm wondering if some of it inspired or it was kind of like at the same time.
272
I could see that.
273
Nice, nice.
274
Man, see how quick he is.
275
His timing has got to be so precise.
276
Oh yeah, you know they shot this a bunch of times.
277
Oh no. What was that coughing?
278
Yeah, it could've been an audience member, but it sounds like a laugh track.
279
How is he able to nuzzle it out that much?
280
Yeah, it is.
281
It is.
282
You know what's kind of difficult.
283
Yeah.
284
The pants may have been made to stretch.
285
Yes, yes.
286
Still very, very impressive.
287
No, it is.
288
The flexibility on them hip flexors.
289
But now you gotta do the other side.
290
Yeah.
291
But pull it out.
292
The friction on the groin.
293
Yeah.
294
Oh, God.
295
Oh, no. He's gonna rip his pants.
296
He's gonna rip his pants.
297
Oh, yo, he's actually doing it!
298
He is!
299
Look at it!
300
Look at it!
301
Come on, come on.
302
You got this.
303
You got this, sir.
304
You did that.
305
You did that.
306
That's actually impressive.
307
Impressive.
308
He did that.
309
Impressive right here.
310
That is impressive.
311
He did it.
312
And now this guy's gonna leave.
313
Oh!
314
This is Mr. Bean in a nutshell.
315
No!
316
Fate and Switch.
317
The dude was bloodthed.
318
Love it.
319
That was great.
320
I feel like we're like- That was great.
321
We're about to get a lot of bait and switches.
322
Yep.
323
That was great.
324
My god.
325
That was great.
326
Yep, I was like, he's gonna hit something else.
327
It's the same car!
328
It's the same car!
329
Poor person!
330
The poor person with his car!
331
This person is after Vam.
332
Absolutely.
333
He's like, wait, not again.
334
The poor person.
335
Oh boy, this sounds like a funeral.
336
Is it mass or is it a funeral?
337
Oh god.
338
What if he thinks it's mass and it ends up being a funeral?
339
I think it might just be a service.
340
Yeah, definitely just a service.
341
I think it's just a service.
342
Well, oh, okay, maybe it's a funeral.
343
It could be a funeral.
344
Oh, okay.
345
Oh, there's sharing.
346
Aww.
347
Don't you hate it when that happens?
348
The intentions were fair.
349
I love how we're talking gibberish.
350
Yeah, I was like, they're not saying words.
351
Yeah, he's bored.
352
He's already bored.
353
Why is he even here right now?
354
Yeah, for real.
355
Like, I'm like, did he have to be here?
356
Maybe it's a tradition, you know?
357
Maybe.
358
He's a church going man.
359
He tried to hold it in.
360
He tried to.
361
He did.
362
He did.
363
Oh no. I'm thinking the pencils, the underwear, the swimsuit.
364
Yeah, it was like all the pens took up all his space.
365
What's he gonna do?
366
Oh, he's gonna...
367
Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
368
You do, it's true.
369
Aww.
370
Aww.
371
Awww...
372
You wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt, but it didn't work.
373
OHHHHH!
374
That's liquidy.
375
That's disgusting.
376
OHHHHH!
377
Shove it back in there.
378
Awww...
379
Is he gonna scoot away slowly?
380
He's still just speaking gibberish Oh no That was me as a kid sometimes
381
There you go, there you go But then you like pretend to, you know, okay He's gone,
382

386
Oh no. He's like, what's happening?
387
I love how he's front row.
388
He's front row.
389
Yes!
390
He chose to sit at the front row of this...
391
What is the closed pose?
392
What is this?
393
I love how nobody's paying attention Oh my god, yo buddy buddy buddy That's when you need to take a walk,
394
go for like fresh air Yes, get some fresh air
395
I mean
396

397
I would scoot over fast.
398
The sound.
399
South, yep.
400
Ssss.
401
Psss.
402
Psss.
403
And then people do it so slowly, but then it goes for minutes and minutes.
404
Yeah, they do, but then it's so much longer.
405
Do it fast.
406
Yeah.
407
Like ripping a bandaid.
408
Yeah.
409
Okay, at least he got it.
410
No, no, no, no, no!
411
In that pocket, in that pocket.
412
Don't put it in that pocket.
413
There you go.
414

415
Oh no, he's gonna hit him.
416
Oh no, he's gonna hit him.
417
Come on, man.
418
Let him take his gadget.
419
Just look on the other side.
420
Just eat it! So quickly!
421
He lost it.
422
He lost it.
423
Aww, he lost it in his shirt.
424
When he sits, everybody's gonna stand up.
425
Yep.
426
Finally.
427
He said no. After all that happened, no. You hit him.
428
Yeah.
429
You hit him.
430
Okay, okay.
431
That's all he knew.
432
That's all he knew.
433
Hallelujah.
434
I mean, that's kind of the only word anyone knows, to be honest. Or almond.
435
I don't know.
436
That's it.
437
The confidence.
438
The confidence in him.
439
You think his demeanor changed?
440
The confidence?
441
Yep.
442
I wonder if his nose is so long, sometimes he's so long.
443
Oh no, it's falling.
444
It's falling.
445
No, he's gonna have to reach his pocket.
446
I like his crush, oh god.
447
Noooo.
448
While holding his crush, okay.
449
Oh my, that was weird.
450
There it is.
451
Oh, but it's unwrapped.
452
Unwrapped candy.
453
When you sit back down, when you sit back down.
454
Nice save.
455
You got it, you got it.
456
It's gonna blow on it, Pusami.
457
If you eat it, please tell me you're gonna blow on it.
458
Yeah.
459
Yeah.
460
Oh, that's it!
461
That's it!
462
Awww!
463
That's it.
464
Awww!
465
Awww!
466
Awww!
467
Awww!
468
Awww!
469
Pusami's not gonna be the blue car again.
470
Oh no. Yes.
471
Oh, behind him.
472
Oh no. Oh no. Oh my god!
473
How bad was it?
474
Oh jeez!
475
Jeez!
476
What?
477
Nice.
478
Just abandoned it.
479
So what was it for the first episode of Mr. Bean?
480
Mr. Bean over here?
481
Was it what you were expecting here?
482
A little bit, a little different.
483
I think the biggest thing was I knew that this was a British comedy series, and it definitely delivered on British humor.
484
What I'm categorizing as British humor, which I'm sure is not the accurate term at all, but it's more that it's a long form of physical comedy,
485
but it's more silent than anything.
486
It's kind of like comedy that happens within silence.
487
It's not always because of sound effects or things like that.
488
It's physical and humorous, but the comedy is in the awkwardness.
489
Like that so much of the humor comes from the prolonged awkward exposure.
490
And Rowan Atkinson does it so well.
491
He plays it off really well.
492
I think the thing I least expected was this to remind me of Hispanic humor in the form of El Chavo.
493
Like that's entirely what I thought of with this is it reminded me of El Chavo.
494
And I didn't I had never put those two together.
495
I never even made that comparison.
496
I'd have to check that out too.
497
So that was fun.
498
It was fun kind of seeing that except that El Chavo is like, well, honestly, they're very similar in that El Chavo, he's a bit more flamboyant with his things.
499
But it's in that same vein of it's funny because it's awkward or it's a nuisance or it's like mildly annoying.
500
But like they continue, you know, they're just a character.
501
But yeah, I enjoyed it.
502
I enjoyed Mr. Bean.
503
I think I enjoyed this episode more than I expected I would.
504
I didn't think that I would enjoy it as much as I did.
505
And I did.
506
yeah so thank you all
507
so much for watching this with us over here at first i was kind of surprised
508
when i heard him talk talk much yeah i didn't know
509
he talked understanding he doesn't really talk yeah talking is not
510
much his thing yeah yeah right there that's why i think he is
511
so big or has been so big because he translates yes
512
because physical comedy without language so i did not know going in
513
and i didn't want to spoil it if you knew
514
that he doesn't really talk i knew that he didn't I knew that talking wasn't his thing.
515
That's why I was also confused when he talked.
516
Because I was like, I thought Mr. Bean didn't say words.
517
But maybe as it goes along, it does less.
518
He might become more silent.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
