It’s been 25 years of British comedy icon Mr. Bean! To celebrate the milestone, Mr. Bean (Rowan Atkinson) headed to Buckingham Palace for a London tour and Boomerang is airing new animated Mr. Bean episodes daily. The funny man brought joy to commuters and tourists with a unique and rare display of live comedy as he rode down The Mall in London, on the roof of his reliable lime green car.
True to Mr. Bean fashion, there’s bound to be a mishap. Not only did he manage to get the date of his birthday wrong by a week, but he managed to cause havoc to tourists around St James’s Park Lake and close down the entirety of The Mall on his journey to receive his birthday gifts, delivered to Buckingham Palace itself.
This classic comedy has fans over 190 territories, 35 million Mr. Bean DVD’s and videos sold, 63 million fans on Facebook and 1.5 billion views of his clips on YouTube, and this surprise event would not be a success without the eccentric man himself.
Boomerang airs new daily episodes of Mr. Bean at 6pm, exclusively on HyppTV Channel 555.
