阅读理解。 Since his first appearance in 1989,Mr Bean has achieved a massive following around the world-he's now recognised as the most popular British comedy export since Benny Hill-with some people even thinking of him as a sex symbol. His visual humour and elaborate sight gags transcend linguistic frontiers, and have earned comparisons with the great silent movie star Buster Keaton-although apparently his character was based on the work of French comic genius JacquesTati. And now he's making a movie: accompanied by his beloved Teddy he's off to L.A.to cause a whole feature film's worth of mayhem in 'Bean: The Ultimate Disaster Movie'. It's a funny thing when you think about it. Whenever someone sees the British actor Rowan Atkinson in a movie, they would immediately say, 'Oh look, it's Mr Bean!'There is really no doubt that Rowan Atkinson is most known for playing Mr Bean, that dumb but likeable character. And that Mr Bean, has starred in a series of short films, that many have enjoyed very much. Mr Bean is a man, who is most known for his stupidity. He is always wearing a brown jacket, white shirt, red tie and dark brown trousers. He also carries an adorable little teddy bear who he calls 'Teddy'. He also has a penchant (倾向) for driving around in yellow Mini Coopers, and has a huge dislike for blue three-wheeled cars. He also has a sort of girlfriend called Irma Gobb, although it is not the most steady of relationships. What this man does is pretty much what every single human being does, but he does this with the most bizarre (奇异的) and stupid ways possible. For instance, when he's going to the beach, when he is putting on his swimmers, he does it without taking off his trousers. Another example is when he is late for a dentist appointment, he gets dressed while driving in the car. And while he does this, he remains silent. But when he does talk, which isn't often, it's usually with a very deep and croaky (哇哇叫的) voice, and speaks gibberish (快速而不清楚的言语) as well. This is what makes Mr Bean so likeable to watch. The humor in this show is absolutely brilliant. There are so many memorable moments in this show, such as getting rid of a revolting (令人厌恶的) meal in a restaurant by hiding it in many things, and role-playing the various roles of Joseph, Mary and Jesus at Christmas. It's a real shame that there weren't a lot of episodes. There should have been more! But overall, whether you think of Mr Bean as a comedy genius or just a stupid idiot, there's no doubt that he has done a lot for comedy, and is one of the most recognizable characters in television. 【个性思考】 What do you think of Mr Bean?
