The episode below is my favorite episode, in which Mr.Bean made his lunch by himself while seeing others eating sandwich.
When I was young, I watched Mr.Bean and laughed because this character was so dumb and funny. His facial expressions, weird behaviors and embarrassed situations made me burst out laughing. For example, in this episode, he pulls out everything he needs for making a sandwich from his magical coat. The way he made his lunch made me laugh the most. He slices the bread using scissors; covers the bread with butter by using his credit card; dries the cabbage by putting it in his sock and waving it in a circular motion, etc. Mr.Bean keeps the audience being curious about what he would do next; no one could possibly do anything that he does in this show. I laughed because of the incongruity theory as his sudden behaviors of something weird and his small misfortune.
However, I watched Mr.Bean when I grew older, I had an understanding different to that of my childhood. In each episode of Mr.Bean, he is faced with an embarrassed situation and he spends all his time dealing with this awkward situation. The thing that interested me the most is the way that he deals with his misfortune. Normally, when people do not have lunch, they could just go to a shop and buy themselves something to eat rather than behave like Mr.Bean. Every time when Mr.Bean is facing misfortune, he chooses to challenge it rather than just walk away. Of course, it would not be such funny if he just walks away. What I understood and learned from this show is the positive mind when facing with embarrassed situations.
