Best of Bean! August 18, 2008
Wonderful series to have for repeat enjoyment. Only downside is some of the series shows are a bit clipped from the original aired shows.
Still loads of fun.
 Great, but be careful about the extra features! October 1, 2007

I just recently got into Mr. Bean after seeing "Mr. Bean's Holiday" in theaters. I loved the humor, and I quickly looked for something on Amazon to get to see more. I devoured every episode and skit on this DVD, and began to watch the extra features, with my children who up to this point had been loving Mr. Bean as well.
The documentary on Mr. Bean includes footage of the "Not the 9:00 News" show he was on, and the opening credits of that show include nudity in the form of dancing topless women, not cartoon or Monty Python type. Needless to say I was surprised by that.
I had been so glad to find some good, clean British humor that was safe for my family to watch too, but we're not keeping this one :(.
The episodes themselves are great. I understand that "The Turkey" skit in "Merry Christmas Mr. Bean" and the "Armchair" skit in "Do It Yourself Mr. Bean" have excluded some scenes that were originally aired, but the character of Mr. Bean is hilarious, and the precarious situations he continually finds himself in will keep you rolling. Just be careful if you have small children.
Great clips from Mr. Bean September 24, 2007

The best of Mr. Bean's episodes. Many of the scenes were not edited so there is some brief nudity. Mr. Bean continues to tickle the funny bone.

"The Best of Mr. Bean" contains short vignettes about the happenings in Mr. Bean's life, whether it is a trip to Harrod's at Christmas time, or his birthday, New Year's Eve, after holiday sales, the horror film, church, a trip to the beach or park, a visit from Royalty, and more.
Some of the quirkiness you come to associate with Mr. Bean is just that; it's what makes him tick.
The humor is sometimes pratfall but also intelligent as well. On the other hand, there is a darker side to Mr. Bean that you may not recognize until you see it, so be forewarned, it could be misconstrued. Personally, I felt a bit saddened by some of this darker side, but usually Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean) adds just a bit extra that doesn't leave you feeling put out.
There is some adult humor but children will recognize this; for example, the thumb caught in the fly of the pants; there are few if any other double-entendres that would cause parents to be concerned.
I would rate this humor as PG or PG-13, because there is one scene of rear nudity that discerning parents may want their children to miss.
All in all, a funny DVD that has its best moments interspersed with slower parts; sometimes predictable, but classic bits just the same.

This is a great DVD for "Bean" fans of the earlier stuff. We laughed hysterically. Rowan is genious in these great BBC shorts. Great compilation.
