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.

Did you enjoy the Borat movie?

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

I was grossly disappointed by Borat. There were 1 or 2 scenes that made me laugh pretty hard, but that was a visceral slap-stick reaction. The rest of the movie was pretty boring. You couldn't pay me to watch it again

edit: I think Lost is a good example. There's been roughly 873,669 examples of 'cool weird stuff' that isn't connected to anything else. It doesn't add ambiance or intrigue, it's just stupid senseless crap.

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?

i think its called "opinion".

Bean Holiday was hiliarious

 

[Fritzo]

Most of us Americans have only seen the movies he's made, (which aren't all that great). The TV show on BBC was MUCH better.

I loved the Mr. Bean show (never saw the movie), but the best is/was Rowan Atkinson live standup/skits. Absolutely killed me. :laugh:

If Mr. Bean is low-brow, Seinfeld is unibrow.

I hate Mr. Bean, the OP nailed it.

Comparing Spaceballs (a parody) and Borat (social commentary) to it is simply missing the point.

Bean = lowest common denominator.

I love both, but...

Speaking of common lowest demoninator. "My Schwartz is bigger than yours".

Spaceballs is no more an intelligent comedy than Bean is. While their type may be different, they're both have their audience and are equally funny.

It's a very well done parody with witty writing despite also having toilet humor in it. It's much like southpark.. brilliant social commentary and parody of real life events with talking poop and fart jokes thrown in. Bean has none of these things in my opinion.

I like him more than Adam Sandler. Sad part is I really think Adam Sandler is retarded.

I guess I'm a freak because I like Mr. Bean, Spaceballs, South Park, and Adam Sandler (sometimes).

Mr. Bean is funny, but in a British way.

Honestly, you really haven't been paying attention then. That entire show exists for that sole purpose.

I enjoy South Park and even if I don't always agree with their social commentary, I believe it does exist.

Can't we all just agree that Larry the Cable Guy is a national embarrassment and end this thread?

I have always like Mr. Bean, both movies and shorts. His movies are generally always clean and I will support his movies just for that fact alone. IIRC Rowan is very frugal with his money with the exception of his car.
