4:49 Mr Bean

Hacker news brought me here

久々の「ローワンアトキンソンinコメディ」を観ました。ローワンアトキンソンさんが「Mr.ビーン」の時と同じテーマで演じてるシーンが多く観られました。今でも笑えます。😆🤣😆🤣😆🤣ローワンアトキンソンさんはコメディの天才です。😁

This is a brilliant find. I love Rowan, and this is like a good Ted talk. Or masters thesis.

This is truly such an insightful and enjoyable video. Rowan Atkinson is such a brilliant man and truthfully as are all of the pioneers of staple comedy. One of my favorite bits is starting at 27:52. As Mr. Atkinson was saying, I am so invested in what I'm watching and after repeatedly seeing a chair be moved over or break as you sit down (as that's the joke) I am fully expecting that chair to move/break (at some point) but it doesn't causing it to be even funnier. It's because although I know in real life that a chair won't move and shouldn't move and therefore as he sat should not be funny... It is. It's because of his little smile and nod to the audience saying "I know what you're thinking" or how he leans back with his leg up so confidently as he imitates someone who knows that we just watched people falling off/breaking chairs... But don't worry silly audience, that's just in the movies. Therefore when it doesn't happen you truly find yourself waiting... Almost longing for the punch line so that after it happens you can say "I knew it!" and laugh... Yet at the same time if you're left with the curiosity of 'if' and 'when' it's much like a child's anticipation growing for a present to be opened on Christmas to see if he got what he wanted or not. I can not truly articulate just how incredible all of these artists are for their perceptions and abilities for being able to do what they do and be so insightful to the human condition. Because we all innately have it, but only some can truly put it into words, let alone teach it. Such an incredible video.

???????

וואו וואו וואו איזה יופי של קומדיה. אמיתית בועטת נוגעת במהות בלי לפחד ועדיין אומנות בשיאה.

Fabulous! ❤️🙏

Ahahah Crazy Cool 😂

❤️

This might be the best parody ever written while teaching what might be the best ever masterclass on comedy. A comedic documentary, perhaps?

The physical comedian is not only indestructible, he also has the last word.

41:47 Don't think this bit would be happen in a 2021 comedy

Absolutely fantastic, thank you and your fellow comedians. Utterly amazing 👏

When was this film made?

The nazi copper bit was brilliant

The Benny Hill library……Ha

Years of exposure to ironic humor has totally destroyed my ability to appreciate high comedy :(

god this is so not funny at all

2:30

I watched this so many times as a kid, now I'm a part time comedian. Thank you Rowan.

When?! What?! 🥳

Is it on 3:35 hugh laurie?

And then after doing this Drama/Comedy, Mr. Rowan Atkinson based his life's biggest gag "Mr. Bean" on "Kevin" and was recognized by everyone on the planet and won the hearts of everyone a like and continuous to do so for the upcoming generations. If Chaplin was the master, and the 3 Stooges continued Chaplin's work of art with some dialogue, BEEN (Rowan Atkinson) took a step back with small talk and has been the Genius of our lifetime in comedy.

Brilliant!! HAHAHAHAHAH I wish he'd used Three Stooges footage!

Thankyou so much Rowan...

Good

9:35 I am almost certain I have stepped into an alternate universe. I am being schooled on comedy by a comedian who doesn't speak. 14:44 So you are telling me we have an innate joy from peek-a-boo lol

The 'direct' approach has not aged well

A truly wonderful comedian. Would love to see more of these from the series.

The presenter is obviously a Carl Sagan inpro.

And while Rowan Atkinson is explaining the components of comedy he is making fun of Carl Sagan explaining which books to read

I suspect the German subtitles are all jokes. As in not actual German.

Atkinson is right to lambast academics that attempt to define comedy or identify underlying structures. You simply can’t pin down what is funny. Being funny is not so much a formula as it is spontaneous and what is funny at one point in time might not resonate in another. On the other hand, Rowans mastery of facial expressions and physical comedy are quite unique. Also those Terry Gilliam cartoons made me titter. There was in fact a BBC series from a university don called Seriously Funny which I believe was an attempt to academify humour but I don’t remember if it was any good - I suspect it was bollocks though.

Thank u so much scapino

thanks for sharing especially since it has dutch subtitles

12:02 🤣🤣

I can't tell you how grateful I am, I have been searching for this for YEARS. :)

That was great!

never thought I'd see a masterclass on physical comedy by the legend himself 👍
