I don't know about everyone else but having a grown man act like a 8 year old is not funny. A few people suggested that he's an alien but that doesn't really change anything. His stupid facial expressions and and child like behavior makes me want to punch him in the throat.

Man, how can you say that? Even his name, Mr. Bean, brings a smile to my face. He's the only British humour i like.

LMAO

my thoughts exactly. Doing stuff for the sake of doing it isn't funny. It's the same reason the writing on Lost blows. Having weird shit for the sake of having weird shit isn't clever. Having a man act like an 8 year old for the sake of acting 8 years old isn't funny. Same thing.

British humor is weird ass sh!t.
I like some of it, but a lot of it makes me go like WTF?

You can't compare Spaceballs and Mr. Bean. They're two completely different kinds of comedy. One is parody and one is fucking retarded.

I've only ever watched part of the movie. It was so bad I couldnt stand it. I have absolutely not desire to ever watch anything with Mr. Bean in it again.

I agree with you, but Lost is a bad example, in fact I think Lost is the antithesis of the point you are trying to make. "John from Cincinnati" is the perfect example of writing for the sake of being weird.

I agree with Accipiter22 and Borat sucks, its pure dumb humor for the masses, nothing more, nothing less

i have never seen his movie but i have seen his skits and some are pretty funny. For instance one time he was trying to figure out how to deliver a chair he bought and eventually he strapped it to the roof and used two broom handles for the gas and brake and steered with his foot. Another was him getting changed into a speedo without taking off his clothes it was pretty funny. I am sure the movie is nothing like the skits.

Why does Borat Suck? It may not be what you like, but it killed in the box office and the character became a world wide Phenomenon. Just becasue it wasn't your "cup-o-tea" doesn't mean it sucks.

I mean the Three Stooges was dumb humor too and look at how they are immortalized on TV?
