History WMG / MrBean

** Going further, the Mr. Bean of the later animated series is Mr. Pod from the final episode of the pre-revival series, who left the alien ship with a spare Teddy. This may explain why Bean is a lot less mean-spirited in the newer seasons, and why Mrs. Wicket is ''a lot'' nicer to him.

After going on his missions, [=MI6=] retired Johnny English and brainwashed him into believing him to be Mr. Bean -- the most incompetent man in the world. Not surprising since the two act very similar, although Mr. Bean can't speak that well.

Which is why the opening shows him falling out of the sky in a beam of light, then blundering around, confused - to the musical accompaniment of soft Latin chanting. His odd behavior is actually a result of him not being human and not really understanding how humans are supposed to behave.
* The Animated Series went with the Alien route, where Mr. Bean is abducted by a UFO all full of identical replicas of himself.
* Alternatively, Mr. Bean was an ordinary man, abducted by aliens and subjected to mind-altering experiments, and later returned back to Earth.

From 1948 - 1977, British car company AC (yes, the same AC which helped to manufacture the Shelby Cobra) built a small, three-wheeled car designed for those with physical disabilities; the Invalid Carriage, or Invacar for short. All of these were painted in a shade of powder blue, much like the Reliant in the show. After 1977, when the last government contract ran out, many people continued driving their little three-wheeled vehicles until 2003, when they were forcibly called back and scrapped. Either Mr. Bean's rival was originally going to drive an Invacar, or the producers of the show settled on the closest alternative that was available to them; a Reliant. Either way, it basically implies that Mr. Bean relentlessly bullies someone without total motor function, no pun intended.

That would explain the scene with the Queen at the premiere.

[[WMG: Mr. Bean's new mini]]

After his mini is crushed by a tank, he takes the one that he moved at the beginning of the episode. It explains why he's still driving it in later episodes.
* That makes so much sense. He was seen taking the lock off his car and his spirits seemed to lift once he'd done so, which makes sense if he believed he could easily replace the "car" part of the car. Given the way his mind works and given he knew there was a car identical to his (except for the one thing he'd just taken from it), unlocked and nearby for which the owners presumably wouldn't be looking (since they thought they'd destroyed it), it seems implausible that he wouldn't steal it.

* Or the order of the episodes simply isn't chronological, or she knows he has memory problems, or that he is a very forgiving person.

She's at least aware of the show's NegativeContinuity. She goes out with Bean just to humiliate him when he gets it wrong, knowing he'll forget by the next episode.

The blue car belongs to the filming crew.

He once had a wife who died while giving birth to his son, and then his son died at a very young age. Mr. Bean is such an odd man child for two reasons: incredible loneliness, heartbreak, and he's trying to imagine what his son's life could've been like.

Explains how he treats Teddy like a real person so much.

Better hope that he is not cannibalistic.

He shows all the signs of autism, first and formost, problems with social skills.
