We should have a crowner up. I want to see some numbers.

What makes the Mr Bean one better for me is that he's in that classic "James Bond with a gun" pose:

Would Yusuke from Yu Yu Hakusho work for this trope?

Give us a picture. I don't know who that is or what they look like.

[up] I think that's a Ki Attack instead.

Yes, but the trope does mention that there are occasions when the hand gesture does actually fire something.

It's definitely the gesture, too, and it's on the list of examples.

I would prefer the Heavy, or even the Mr. Bean one, though, for being a more traditional example.

I have a message from another time...

If it's more traditional you want, I added a second image.

That's better than the Heavy one actually.

[up] ...but not as good as Mr. Bean. IMO, of course.

Well, Mr. Bean seems to be winning by a wide margin. Are we ready to call this one yet?

Done; the pic is up, potholed, and tagged? Caption? I don't think it really needs one.

I'd prefer no caption.

[up][up] I could get behind that except that the character is almost completely silent in the show. Now, if we went with "His name is Bean...Mr. Bean.", that would work.

I like Enlong's, honestly. I could go with the Bond parody, but I prefer Enlong's.
