History Awesome / Bean

* Bean's goofiness comes dangerously close to completely ruining David's life after he accidentally destroys the portrait of Whistler's Mother. When he realizes how much trouble he's caused his new pal, [[LetsGetDangerous Bean shows a stunning level of intelligence and competence in fixing the problem]] when he breaks into the museum in the dead of night, turns a poster reprint into a dead ringer for the original painting -- using just [[MacGyvering everyday items like laxative powder, eggs, chewing gum, and nail varnish]] -- which he kept and took home with him to England. His heist of the museum is fantastic, making the end all the funnier for the MoodWhiplash.
-->'''Bean''': ''(skateboards away in triumph)'' HOO-RAY! ''([[LowClearance bangs head on metal sign]])'' Ow...!

* As hazardous as it could have been, Bean's ability to modify a VR rollercoaster ride to be more thrilling within the space of a few minutes is nothing short of impressive.

-->'''Bean''': ''(Skateboards away in triumph)'' HOORAY! ''([[LowClearance bangs head on metal sign]])'' Ow.

* As mentioned in the (sort-of) novelisation, Mr Bean is capable of getting into anyone's house (in this case David's) due to his realisation that "If it's a choice between hiding your emergency key under a brick or under Kermit the Frog, which would you choose? Well OBVIOUSLY!" [[HypocriticalHumour He keeps his own emergency key under a frog statue as well]].

-->'''Bean''': ''(Skateboards away in triumph)'' HOORAY!

-->'''Bean''': Hello, I'm Doctor Bean... [[PhonyDegree apparently.]] And my job, is to sit... and look at paintings. So, what have I learned that I can say about this painting? Well, firstly, [[CaptainObvious it's quite big]] -- which is excellent. Because if it were very small, you know, microscopic, then hardly anyone would be able to see it. Which would be a tremendous shame. Secondly, and I'm getting quite near the end of this... analysis, of this painting. Secondly, why was it worth this man spending fifty million of your American dollars on this portrait? And the answer is... this picture is worth a lot of money because... it's a picture... [[ShapedLikeItself of Whistler's mother.]] And as I've learned, [[ThePowerOfFriendship staying with my best friend David Langley and his family,]] families are very important to us. And even though Mr Whistler was fully aware that his mother... [[Funny/{{Bean}} was a hideous old bat, who looked like she'd had a cactus lodged up her backside]], he stuck with her -- and even took the time to paint this amazing picture of her. It's not just a painting. It's a picture of a mad old cow, who he thought the world of. And that's ''marvellous''. Well, that's what I think, anyway!

* He manages to save Detective Brutus's life by accidentally removing a bullet from his abdomen, ''without using any surgical appliances'', while searching for a peanut M&M [[{{Squick}} he'd dropped into the open wound]]. He puts the bullet back in the first time around, unsure of whether it belongs there or not.
