Bean-a-thon on Pogo: A Series Marathon You Just Can’t Miss “Nothing can be made foolproof because fools are so ingenious.” That is exactly what Mr. Bean stands for. A curious child in the body of a man, the world-famous simpleton has the most unusual and innocent reactions to everyday scenarios, making them hilarious to the core. Taking a leaf from the typical Charlie Chaplin persona, the show is primarily driven by visuals with nearly no dialogues, as the protagonist’s expressions and reactions play the hero.
Inspired from the original show featuring Rowan Atkinson in the titular role, the animated TV series of the same name made the entire world fall in love with the character again. When asked about the series, Rowan said, “Mr. Bean is a very, very self-contained character because he’s so sort of introspective and so selfish and self-centered that there’s no particular need to have another person in the scene to make him funny.”
