Mr. Bean

Ever since the London Olympics back in August, my children are huge Mr. Bean fans.  He did a skit during the opening ceremonies that they thought was hilarious.  I myself did not see this skit nor have I ever thought Mr. Bean was all that funny.  He is now the litmus test for comedy in our house.  If they can imagine Mr. Bean doing it then it is funny.  “Mom, what if Mr. Bean took all of his trash and threw it out the window?”  Such statements are followed by a genuine, uncontrollable laughter.  It's a bit puzzling.  This too shall pass??
