i like mr bean

i'm watching mr bean (the cartoon series) right now. haha. it works wonders for me - never fails to put a smile on my face :D now i guess not everyone likes mr bean.. or appreciates its quirky, weird and slapstick-ish humor; but it really appeals to me, hehe :p

i started watching mr bean when i was in 2nd year college, i think. there was no cartoon series at that time yet - but i always made sure i watched every episode. i loved every bit of craziness the show offered - mr bean's small car (locked with his trademark padlock of course!), his non-girlfriend, irma, and all the wild and (sometimes) embarrassing situations he finds himself in. i found rowan atkinson hilarious. wacky and definitely outrageous. watching him, you get a sense that he's from another planet. mr bean's planet.. hahaha :D

i found his attachment to "teddy" endearing too :p kinda reminds me of my favorite comic strip, calvin and hobbes (by bill watterson). i like teddy. guess that's 'coz i'm fond of all sorts of teddy bears hehehe :)

anyway, it's fun watching mr bean :) brings out the inner child in me. ok, granted.. my "inner child" isn't exactly all that hidden - i really do enjoy watching cartoons, playing games and reading comics. but it's just nice to be able to see a uniquely weird character (albeit a comic one) who's not afraid to be totally himself Ü
