Its not just about jokes. It's about masterclass acting, facial expressions, body gestures, miraculous voice, dialogue delivery, pitch and tone of voice, and whatnot. Genius for so many reasons.
@Im_AFK_Btw haha that's funny. Thanks for honest reply. Sometimes this happens to me when people reply after 2-3 years and i forgot what the video was even about or what i said 😁
@Lujinah Jfairi Nope. In 2013 he was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) not a knight. The Order of the British Empire starts at Member (MBE) then Officer (OBE) then Commander (CBE) then Knight Commander (KBE) and finally Knight Grand Cross (GBE). CBE is not a knighthood and doesn't confer the right to use, "Sir."
Takes his comedy very seriously. I can't imagine he corpses very often tbh. Possibly not funny at all out of character. That's not uncommon for comedians.
I wonder if what you associate him with depends on your age? I'm 60, and if I think of Rowan Atkinson, it's either as 'Blackadder', 'not the 9 o'clock news' or on stage, doing this. I totally agree with you that Mr Bean is not his best work! If you're not familiar with NTNON have a look, it's probably a bit dated now, but still really funny!😂😊
I did know him first as Mr. Bean but really loved his performance as Blackadder when I first found those 4 seasons in my pre-teen years. Watching Blackadder motivated me, a non-native speaker, to become fluent with English and to develop some of that witty sense of humor.
Rowan Atkinson is one of if not THE greatest comedian. He can pull off faces none of us can (I'd have been in tears laughing) and he has a straight face
@Roger Stalder i didnt know that happened actually. I read something but i didnt know it was true. I knew something happened to him though. But when he did another movie i thought he was ok. Depression these days is becoming very serious
@Roger Stalder no the movies were great. Dont watch the ratings. Nowadays they dont watch mr bean that much and not many know who he is as they havent seen the series. His acting is great. Thats how the character is. And yes as i said Jim was my favourite actor back then i liked him more than any other actor. Its just american humor vs british humor. They are different. Jim was more approachable to the audience a newer and younger face kind of dumb in some of movies and brilliant in others. But he was not that serious though in many movies. But when i saw Rowans standup comedies i thought he is brilliant. Jim is my favourite though and i dont get why he left so early. He is not that active anymore. And started to not like his movies anymore the same as i did before considering ive seen them like more than 6 times
@Jurgen Zaka Yea but The Movies who Rowan made was terrible actualy. This Mr.Bean Movies had a Rating of 6.5/10 that is actualy very very bad. and it isnt the Movie itself. its his Bad acting, and only Play 1 role what made this Movies so bad. And okay. Ave Ventura isnt actualy better tho :) Cant watch them today anymore ^^ then id rather look Truman Show or somethign lke that. But Bean was great in his old TV series, thats all Movie wise. havent realy heard of his serious roles. means they also wasnt that great. dont help if u act good and no1 sees it ^^ And yea i get the point of Rowans straight Face. I mean i sure do like the English Homor more then the American one. (tho Germans are great too) But cant deny that i laughed more from Jim carrey then Rowan. at Rowan im also more have a straight Face, and think: ''how intelligent was this joke'' then real laugh lol. at Jim u dont have to think, u just laugh. i think thats the biggest diffrence about them.
@Thomas I actually know them but they are all American comedians. Dave Chapel is only funny if you can relate to his racial experience. I don’t and I don’t care either. Adam Sandler was a popular movie comedian in the 90’s / 00’s? I don’t think I have ever watched something with him that actually make me laugh. Saget is the only one I have never heard, I’ll take a look
@Dr Hamter L.M.H.C. No idea where you've been if you don't know Adam Sandler, Dave Chappelle or Bob Saget. Check them out if you are even remotely drawn to comedy
His stand up is 100 times better and funny then today’s stand up comedies. Though it’s relatively old but packed with humor and acting. I love ❤️ his comedy.
That indian restaurant sketch, while ircky with the accent and such, is absolutly brilliant technically. No probs, no actors, no scenery, absolutely vivid
@Banana Not exactly. It's only racist if you're thinking of it that way. So in turn, the person calling it out to be 'racist' is probably the racist in question. I swear it would go away so easily if people just stopped seeing others as different and appreciate how different we are. 🙄
Impersonating an accent isn't itself offensive. He's not saying 'Look how silly these Indians sound'. He needs to convey it's an Indian restaurant and the accent is just enough to get that across. At no point is the accent the joke
It works because he’s not wearing brown face and the restauranteur is not the butt of the joke, drunk british soccer football fans are, and we’re empathizing with his character.
the brilliant part of that sketch is that he's not making fun of the (presumably) Indian restaurateur, but he aims it directly at the rude, crude and drunk Brits. Plus his accent is actually pretty good ...
The master! He deserves every accolade; incidentally, as a deaf person Rowan is one of the few I can understand without sub-titles, much appreciated! Davox.
I'm assuming you can read lips well or are you talking about Mr. Bean? If it's the former, how do other stand-up comedians fare for you? Genuinely curious here, sorry
Blackadder is the complete opposite of Mr Bean - his character is always the smartest and wittiest in the room. To be able to do both ends of the spectrum so well shows how talented he is.
Rowan is indeed, one to bring you to tears. I laughed so hard I almost wet my pants. It is a very rare comedian who can create and project so many different characters and own so many facial expressions as to believe he is actually the person personified. All of his stand-up, movies, and series are unparalleled. We, as Americans, are especially enamored of British humor, but Rowan is the Best. Love him to death.
Luckily when I was in highschool in small town USA my drama teacher was a bit of an Anglophile so we learned a lot from Rowan both as Blackadder and Mr Bean....plus we got lots of Monty Python too!
@Gert VC Yes, I don't remember which movie it was, but he was in France and kept dumping seafood into a woman's purse--and I just lost it. Ended up laughing so hard I couldn't catch my breath.
And I think he is also one of few that are liked in almost any culture or region in the world. He is wonderful in creating an image with words and face expression alone.
Yes About 8:00 I remember watching the episode of Blackadder when Rowan quickly conjured a wine - from an inexhaustable supply in the episode where Blackadder was envious of the welcome the Queen gave to explorers returning from journeys - in order to excape the Queens wrath at explorers who returned without gifts for her.
10 times watched, and still laughing. And what a great vocabulary he uses, so nicely British. This show his true genius. Thanks for sharing. I just love it !!!
love you Mr. Rowan. love from india❤️❤️ I've been watching you since my childhood. you made my many days, many sorrows,sadness into joy and happiness. may god bless you and your family a lot of happiness & love which would be very low as compared to what you given the world
I just love the scene where he plays the Indian restaurant owner and absolutely fantastically ridicules the lack of courtesy as displayed by his "hooligan guests".
Of course british people can be proud of a lot of things, but their humor has to be somewhere at the top of the list. I just love it! And they have so many fantastic comedians I could watch all day long. Unfortunately, this kind of humor is rarely found here in Germany, which is a shame.
@Jenny Gavin-Wear I'm Scottish, and I think he could pass for how older middle/upper class Glaswegians sound. The ones who went through the grammar school system sounded a bit like that. I certainly wouldn't' bat an eye if I met someone who sounded like that. It may not be flawless but it is a cut above most parody Scottish accents, which are generally not used anywhere.
@Jenny Gavin-Wear To be exact, it's RP with a very clear touch of a Northeastern accent. Not surprising, given where Atkinson was born. (yes, I know there's more NE accents, but since I am not familiar with the accents around Durham I can't quite bring myself to say it's a Durham accent).
Rowen Atkinson is quite simply a superb comedian who has a great ability to make nearly every single person laugh at his humour, this can be even with a single word like. “Bob” if anyone remember him playing lord blackadder, he was the best just with saying “Bob” could make everyone laugh so hard. I thank rowan Atkinson truly is a genius and only wish that we could see him perform live"....
Especially since he died. He will be missed by everyone who spoke English as well as those that don't. I loved Blackadder, The Thin Blue Line and Mr. Bean but his stand-up and skits from Not the 9 o'clock News will always hold special places in my heart. Rest in Peace Rowan Atkinson.
Thank you for sharing this. It brought a lot of laughter to our home. Times have been so dark lately and this video made us laugh more than we have in some time. It was a delightful surprise. :)
Soooo incredibly heart warmingly cruel and great! Made my night much bearable and problems away, Thank you so much Mr. Adder. ;) The full show, finally. Great! It's so massively hilarious! Thank you so much Mr. Atkinson for doing it, From the bottom of my heart. Which is failing, unfortunately, so those who read this in a few years from now will read a post from an actual dead man. I'm trying to make a joke of it, but it is real. Enjoy people, enjoy life as much as you can , while you can.
Easy to believe that his IQ score is north of 170 because his ability to not break character is genius, he truly is an incredibly gifted comedian.... 😂🤘🏻🇺🇸
The church skit is, in my opinion, one of the best comedic sketch I have ever heard... Paired with Rowan's casual acting is just icing on the cake... Hats off for this man
Most folks, when reminded of Rowan Atkinson, remember him for his Mr Bean series. In truth, if you watch his theatres and Blackadder series, you will know his talents extend far beyond that.
Rowans ability to not laugh while delivering the dirty class attendance skit was phenomenal, especially with the entire crowd going nuts. I'm couldn't control my laughter and dude just had an annoyed face the entire time...Respeccc
@J Shaw you assume I haven’t heard of them, I have I do like Lee Evans that guy must lose a couple of stone every night he does standup the others are okay but not on the level of Rowan or George imho
nitza Gomej possibly he is I adore Rowan Atkinson have ever since I watched him as a young child in the early eighties he is my favourite equal to George Carlin who I adore too. I only recently came across George doing stand up which is a shame he is hilarious but in a totally different manner. That being said I do adore Rowan but I have not heard every comic ever so I can go no further than I did. I doubt anyone will ever match these to comedic geniuses in their respective fields but only a sith deals in absolutes. Btw this is also my favourite sketch by RA its very good on so many levels.
British comic !? best comic.period! you know there are many good comics that makes you laugh but this is more than comedy,its pure art and acting wonderfully
It was with deep gratitude we were called the day when colonel Grant, using only a sense of touch, through the medium of a clenched fist, actually broke through to Tom and got him to shut up. Priceless
Wow. This randomly landed in my feed. We had this on a video taped from TV when I was a kid. I absolutely loved it, and watched it a lot. Watching it as an adult had made me realise just how many jokes were over my head at the time😂 I'm so happy to see it again with a fresh perspective.😁
I could watch this a 1000 times and always finds myself laughing. The humor is not dated or stale. I love how Rowan tells stories as humor. So refreshing. 2022
Its not just about jokes. It's about masterclass acting, facial expressions, body gestures, miraculous voice, dialogue delivery, pitch and tone of voice, and whatnot.
Genius for so many reasons.
@Im_AFK_Btw How it is funny then!
Not to be crass, but he can act with his tongue alone.
His 'and whatnot' is really beyond compare.
@Im_AFK_Btw haha that's funny. Thanks for honest reply. Sometimes this happens to me when people reply after 2-3 years and i forgot what the video was even about or what i said 😁
British humour at its very finest. Rowan is a national treasure, knight the man already!
He is the king of UK 😁
So true,super funny man.
He’s best friends with Prince sorry King Charles so it’ll happen in the next honours list I’m sure!
@Lujinah Jfairi Nope. In 2013 he was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) not a knight.
The Order of the British Empire starts at Member (MBE) then Officer (OBE) then Commander (CBE) then Knight Commander (KBE) and finally Knight Grand Cross (GBE).
CBE is not a knighthood and doesn't confer the right to use, "Sir."
I totally second that!
Rowan Atkinson's ability to keep a straight face borders on a superpower.

Takes his comedy very seriously. I can't imagine he corpses very often tbh. Possibly not funny at all out of character. That's not uncommon for comedians.
i agree
him and leslie nielsen are the the best at doing comedy with a straight face, r.i.p leslie nielsen.
After seeing this, it's almost a shame he's famous for doing mr bean. This is pure gold
Blackadder?!!!!?
I wonder if what you associate him with depends on your age? I'm 60, and if I think of Rowan Atkinson, it's either as 'Blackadder', 'not the 9 o'clock news' or on stage, doing this.

Never a shame, Mr Bean was a masterpiece
Bean is great for a lot of reasons, he really got to do bean because of this ;), anyoen taht wants to look for him beyond bean will find this :)
Rowan Atkinson is one of if not THE greatest comedian. He can pull off faces none of us can (I'd have been in tears laughing) and he has a straight face
@Sowdar rowan Atkinson is a far superior comedian to Carey. Difference between American and British personally I prefer British 👍
@Roger Stalder i didnt know that happened actually. I read something but i didnt know it was true. I knew something happened to him though. But when he did another movie i thought he was ok. Depression these days is becoming very serious

The only comedian that can make 3 generations laugh in one sitting effortlessly 😂😂
Including the roll call at the end?
@Thomas I actually know them but they are all American comedians. Dave Chapel is only funny if you can relate to his racial experience. I don’t and I don’t care either. Adam Sandler was a popular movie comedian in the 90’s / 00’s? I don’t think I have ever watched something with him that actually make me laugh.

@Dr Hamter L.M.H.C. No idea where you've been if you don't know Adam Sandler, Dave Chappelle or Bob Saget. Check them out if you are even remotely drawn to comedy
@Zach Blackwell don’t know any of these guys
@Zach Blackwell Saget? 😆
youre truly a god comedian if you say “Good Evening” and everyone starts to laugh
Did you mean "good" comedian? I'm not a grammer Nazi but it's a pretty big difference in context
Where did you see that happen.
@Shrieking bush pig shrieking hysterically I do not. And don't call me Shirley.
To be fair, he can just only move his arm and people laugh 😂
Yes, the laugh track found it very funny.
That Indian restaurant skit is genius. How he moves around, knows where he's been to address a point and still be hilarious on his own!
"It's a tricky bit of floor, that; deceptively flat and unimpeded!"
It is now forever ingrained in my skull that Mr. Bean is secretly the devil in disguise
same
NOT ONE DISLIKE no got the balls to cheat the devil.
Hell must be lit then!
That's my warm up joke
Mr.Bean isn`t all nice, he definitely has some demons to sort out..
"I wouldn't cancel afternoon school to bury that little sh*t"
See this is why Rowan Atkinson is the funniest guy in the galaxy
Wrong. He funniest in universe
@Noob Noob i’ll do you one better
uk?? u mean the world
"Quite frankly, if he wasn't DEAD, i'd have him expelled".
"Beg your pardon!?"
"Yes, ExPeLlEd".
Oh my effing god im dying myself 😂
Bit of an overreaction tbh but nvm 👀
@spherical cow Hermione Granger
@Samuel expulsion.
"Are you mad?!"
"I'm FURIOUS!"
His stand up is 100 times better and funny then today’s stand up comedies. Though it’s relatively old but packed with humor and acting. I love ❤️ his comedy.
then?
"thy one liners are as good as thy tricks, thou art indeed an all round family entertainment"
Atkinson at his best
"How the *hell* did you do that? And do you do children's parties?" 😆
And they said unto the lord "how the hell did you do that"
I cried laughing
@Patrick Madukani "NO". 🤣🤣
Do you also do it on children parties?🤣🤣🤣🤣
i never expected that line will be spit out. lol
How can anyone not love Rowan Atkinson, he is just brilliant, always has me crying with laughter.
That indian restaurant sketch, while ircky with the accent and such, is absolutly brilliant technically. No probs, no actors, no scenery, absolutely vivid
@Banana Not exactly. It's only racist if you're thinking of it that way. So in turn, the person calling it out to be 'racist' is probably the racist in question. I swear it would go away so easily if people just stopped seeing others as different and appreciate how different we are. 🙄
He was a guest on Top Gear, and with a helmet on he genuinely looks like a northern Indian, that helps too.
Impersonating an accent isn't itself offensive. He's not saying 'Look how silly these Indians sound'. He needs to convey it's an Indian restaurant and the accent is just enough to get that across. At no point is the accent the joke

🤣🤣🤣🤣 this is great
This comment is perfection 😂 😂
Brilliant
the french will go here
toby ... mc guire ... perhaps
Epitome of comedy. No cheesy lines, just pure misdirection. 'Yes, expelled'
Rowan Atkinson is one of the best comedians on planet in history.
No, he is simply THE BEST!!
Yes indeed.
I admire the way these religious jokes are taken without offence. No hurt feelings, threats to life, legal action...This is free speech
Forever Rowan will always be my favourite comedian ❤️
The wedding skit is probably the best comedy I've seen in a long time. What a classic!
The praise he gave to Martin had me thinking what could possibly have gone wrong, and then...
His standup is so underappreciated. Love this a million times better than Mr. Bean.
anything is better than Mr. Bean :(
fun fact the one bit where he shows up at church and sneezes is actually in the first mister bean episode
Oh yes, indeed. I always felt Mr Bean was very silly.
For 20 years I’ve been watching this man and the feeling is still the same. Brilliant.
a constant laugh out loud time. I return to it often when the world is weighing heavy. Thank you for posting this Greatness.
Too.
And every time I watch it, it gets better.
Ditto.
same..
The master! He deserves every accolade; incidentally, as a deaf person Rowan is one of the few I can understand without sub-titles, much appreciated! Davox.
OK with decent sub-titles.
I'm assuming you can read lips well or are you talking about Mr. Bean? If it's the former, how do other stand-up comedians fare for you? Genuinely curious here, sorry
After all this time I realize that he is as funny doing "talk" comedy as he is as silent Mr. Bean. I really love this!
Blackadder is the complete opposite of Mr Bean - his character is always the smartest and wittiest in the room. To be able to do both ends of the spectrum so well shows how talented he is.
Rowan is indeed, one to bring you to tears. I laughed so hard I almost wet my pants. It is a very rare comedian who can create and project so many different characters and own so many facial expressions as to believe he is actually the person personified. All of his stand-up, movies, and series are unparalleled. We, as Americans, are especially enamored of British humor, but Rowan is the Best. Love him to death.
Luckily when I was in highschool in small town USA my drama teacher was a bit of an Anglophile so we learned a lot from Rowan both as Blackadder and Mr Bean....plus we got lots of Monty Python too!
@Gert VC Yes, I don't remember which movie it was, but he was in France and kept dumping seafood into a woman's purse--and I just lost it. Ended up laughing so hard I couldn't catch my breath.
And I think he is also one of few that are liked in almost any culture or region in the world. He is wonderful in creating an image with words and face expression alone.

There are more than English comedians on Earth.
Joanna Kołaczkowska is both woman and the elite of Polish comedians.
I prefer my comedians raw.
yeah I think I'm pretty rare and that cheddar is too. What's your problem with us Daniel?
I absolutely miss finesse in language in comedy like this. Rowan is such a performer and a great orator 🙏🏽
He performed this again in 2020 and its still hilarious
Excellent performance from the early days of Rowan Atkinson. Very hard to find comedians of this stature nowadays. Thanks a lot for uploading.
The fact that he does all this with a straight face is just incredible
How long it took for that parent to realize he'd just been told his son is dead is priceless.
There is comedy and then there is Rowan Atkinson. The man is a master
10 times watched, and still laughing. And what a great vocabulary he uses, so nicely British. This show his true genius. Thanks for sharing. I just love it !!!
40 min of smiling and laughing what great actor if he doesn't talk and what great comedian if he talk ❤️
This whole thing is pure gold, THE WHOLE DAMN THING.
I beleive you, I beleive you! '@_@'
Go on Rowan Atkinson Live to see all of it.
Pedro Sequeira there are parts missing though. Pure comedy gold.
A million likes if I could. Rowan is absolutely at the top end of comic geniuses.
He is fabulous and one of the Best actors 👏 ❤ 👌
He is still the best Comedian. 💙💙
This is why I love British humour. Rowan Atkinson is a LEGEND.
It's 2021 and it's still sooooo funny. Love it
10:24 "And the crowd went absolutely bananas" LMAO 😂
What does he mean?
Classic British humor performed by one of the greatest comic actors to ever take the stage. It's like watching a masterclass.
love you Mr. Rowan. love from india❤️❤️ I've been watching you since my childhood. you made my many days, many sorrows,sadness into joy and happiness. may god bless you and your family a lot of happiness & love which would be very low as compared to what you given the world
An absolute classic that will stand the test of time.
I just love the scene where he plays the Indian restaurant owner and absolutely fantastically ridicules the lack of courtesy as displayed by his "hooligan guests".
...and the sharp instructions to the waiters,very authentic.
Honestly hilarious. Absolute genius this guy is.
Of course british people can be proud of a lot of things, but their humor has to be somewhere at the top of the list. I just love it! And they have so many fantastic comedians I could watch all day long. Unfortunately, this kind of humor is rarely found here in Germany, which is a shame.
lol he is so incredibly well spoken with timing. amazing he went on to do mr. bean with no dialog. true genious.
True masterpiece. I've watched it tens of times and I still return for more. Rowan Atkinson belongs to Hall of Fame of the comedy of all times.
The fact that he's putting on a light scottish accent makes this 1000X more believable.
@Jenny Gavin-Wear I'm Scottish, and I think he could pass for how older middle/upper class Glaswegians sound. The ones who went through the grammar school system sounded a bit like that. I certainly wouldn't' bat an eye if I met someone who sounded like that. It may not be flawless but it is a cut above most parody Scottish accents, which are generally not used anywhere.
@Cheese Master pretty decent considering I live there
Proof how good is yours?
@Isaac Jones lol. .. no worries .. i missed that section! Rowan does an awful Scottish accent!! :)
@Jenny Gavin-Wear To be exact, it's RP with a very clear touch of a Northeastern accent. Not surprising, given where Atkinson was born. (yes, I know there's more NE accents, but since I am not familiar with the accents around Durham I can't quite bring myself to say it's a Durham accent).
Rowan Atkinson has always been and always will be simply Brill! Thank you, Earful Comedy, for posting.
Rowen Atkinson is quite simply a superb comedian who has a great ability to make nearly every single person laugh at his humour, this can be even with a single word like. “Bob” if anyone remember him playing lord blackadder, he was the best just with saying “Bob” could make everyone laugh so hard. I thank rowan Atkinson truly is a genius and only wish that we could see him perform live"....
@Steve Michael nah, he is making people laugh in hell. We should all go there instead to that boring heaven. I'm in atheists section 😂
@Steve Cannon-english I think he will be quite upset to hear that he has died :D
Especially since he died. He will be missed by everyone who spoke English as well as those that don't. I loved Blackadder, The Thin Blue Line and Mr. Bean but his stand-up and skits from Not the 9 o'clock News will always hold special places in my heart. Rest in Peace Rowan Atkinson.
@Matthew Parker Good for him that he’s able to incorporate it into comedy.
Rowan actually has a stutter, and has trouble pronouncing b's which us why he pronounces "bob" so deliberately.
38:22 “But if I come back and catch Herpes on the corridor like the headmaster did yesterday, then there will be trouble” I’M DYING 😂😂
@Kolya Ursaki Its English humour dear, if we explained it it would ruin it.
But what does he mean?
well hurry up or you'll be expelled ;)
im dying from that entire segment XDD
He deserves much more recognition for his work. Genius.
this still knocks me out laughing, and I've watched this a couple of times already
An absolute classic and genius!
Love Rowan Atkinson he's a comedic genius my favourite is always the dirty names skit couldn't stop laughing 😂😂😂
Thank you for sharing this. It brought a lot of laughter to our home. Times have been so dark lately and this video made us laugh more than we have in some time. It was a delightful surprise. :)
Some of the absolute funniest skits ever. Legend.
*His dialogues delivery is just hilarious itself 🤣🤣*
Soooo incredibly heart warmingly cruel and great! Made my night much bearable and problems away, Thank you so much Mr. Adder. ;) The full show, finally. Great! It's so massively hilarious! Thank you so much Mr. Atkinson for doing it, From the bottom of my heart. Which is failing, unfortunately, so those who read this in a few years from now will read a post from an actual dead man. I'm trying to make a joke of it, but it is real. Enjoy people, enjoy life as much as you can , while you can.
A masterpiece of English humor
"The French are you here??
Sure you'll have plenty of things to talk with the Germans" 😂😂😂
What a legend of a comic
Sense of humor is a sign of maturity. Mr. Bean is one of the most wise of the human race.
Oh my God, he is truly a British treasure! I almost peed myself watching this! Ssooo funny! :-)
The fact I’ve not only seen this before (a few times), but that it’s also so many years old, just shows how classically brilliant it is!
Easy to believe that his IQ score is north of 170 because his ability to not break character is genius, he truly is an incredibly gifted comedian.... 😂🤘🏻🇺🇸
The church skit is, in my opinion, one of the best comedic sketch I have ever heard...
Paired with Rowan's casual acting is just icing on the cake...
Hats off for this man
Addition: The trio skit made me cry
OF LAUGHTER
His ability to stay in character is a joy.
Most folks, when reminded of Rowan Atkinson, remember him for his Mr Bean series. In truth, if you watch his theatres and Blackadder series, you will know his talents extend far beyond that.
Rowans ability to not laugh while delivering the dirty class attendance skit was phenomenal, especially with the entire crowd going nuts. I'm couldn't control my laughter and dude just had an annoyed face the entire time...Respeccc
THE most brilliant comedian ever 🤣 CLEVER and bloody well hilarious!!!!
Best British comic ever by miles, brilliant
@J Shaw no worries I didn’t mean it in an adverse manner. Like I said I do like Lee Evans.
@J Shaw you assume I haven’t heard of them, I have I do like Lee Evans that guy must lose a couple of stone every night he does standup the others are okay but not on the level of Rowan or George imho
nitza Gomej possibly he is I adore Rowan Atkinson have ever since I watched him as a young child in the early eighties he is my favourite equal to George Carlin who I adore too. I only recently came across George doing stand up which is a shame he is hilarious but in a totally different manner. That being said I do adore Rowan but I have not heard every comic ever so I can go no further than I did. I doubt anyone will ever match these to comedic geniuses in their respective fields but only a sith deals in absolutes. Btw this is also my favourite sketch by RA its very good on so many levels.
British comic !? best comic.period! you know there are many good comics that makes you laugh but this is more than comedy,its pure art and acting wonderfully
No matter how many times I rewatch this, it gets me everytime
It was with deep gratitude we were called the day when colonel Grant, using only a sense of touch, through the medium of a clenched fist, actually broke through to Tom and got him to shut up.
Priceless
Rowan should get far more credit than he does. He is one of a kind. I remember him doing 'Not The 9 o'clock News' in my early teens.
This guy is dope, I think that he will always be in a special place in our heart! 💖💖💖
What a talent. Imagine him on Saturday Night Live
???
its weird hearing him talk after two decades watching Mr.Bean, hes funny af
"I wouldn't cancel school to bury that little sh*t" has me rolling
I pretty much knew these sketches by heart back in the 80's. Timeless and brilliant.
That was such an excellent performance. The superb facial and body control this man has is beyond words.
Wow. This randomly landed in my feed. We had this on a video taped from TV when I was a kid. I absolutely loved it, and watched it a lot. Watching it as an adult had made me realise just how many jokes were over my head at the time😂 I'm so happy to see it again with a fresh perspective.😁
It never gets old. Still watching it in 2022
I won't get tired of watching this on repeat.
this is by far one of the best comedy routines ever conceived
Hello pal,how are you?
I could watch this a 1000 times and always finds myself laughing. The humor is not dated or stale. I love how Rowan tells stories as humor. So refreshing. 2022
Genius pure pure genius no more word this type of comedy is rare
He is the best comedian that has ever lived
Love Rowan!
He's a bloody legend!
This guy is a worldwide treasure. We must protect him at all costs!
Slow and methodical comedy.....no one does it like this anymore.
You know... It IS possible to complement or appreciate something from the past without lamenting the present
He is indeedeth an all-round family entertainer

People would be screeching for him to be deplatformed!
This man is the definition of comedy somebody give him a medal
It's lovely how he can actually see the people joining their respective queues one by one.
"I'm afraid the Jews were right" I spit my Coke out from lol so hard
