What a legend.

  • Let's face it, anytime the laughing track audience applauds on Mr. Bean, you'd want to applaud, too.
  • In the very first episode, he puts swim trunks on over his slacks, and then somehow takes his slacks off.
  • When Mr. Bean shoots down the baby carriage with a bow & arrow in "Mind The Baby, Mr. Bean", not only stopping it from flying away after being accidentally tied to a bunch of helium balloons, but safely returning the lost child to their mother.
  • Getting dressed while driving, scored with a peppy pop version of the theme song.
  • The time he painted his apartment by sticking dynamite in a can of white paint. note 
  • Generally, any time one of his absurdly complex plans actually works, such as him managing to drive his car from an armchair on top of it due to it being full of January sales shopping. Although it rapidly stops being successful after he loses the end of his broom — thus, control of the brakes — and going down a steep hill, he and his car still end up with nary a scratch thanks to Bean thinking quickly and driving into the back of a truck full of pillows.
  • His appearance at the 2012 London Olympics playing a tedious piano note over and over in the "Chariots of Fire" sequence, complete with a montage of him using his car to cheat in the famous slow-motion race.
  • Meeting the Queen (in the animated series, not the live-action one; we all know what happened in the latter…). Even better in the animated series, where he gets Knighted.
  • When some thief steals Bean's camera, he tracks the guy down and immobilizes him by throwing an upturned bin over his entire upper body. Bean then knocks the thief down and starts jabbing him with a pen. Even though the thief got away while Bean was alerting a police officer, he managed to pick him out of a police line-up by memorising the distinct shriek of pain he made.
  • After impersonating a barber and creating some hilariously silly hairdos, Bean gets away scot-free while the actual barber is blamed for everything. He even ends up accidentally doing one that a kid likes!
  • Mr. Bean getting his revenge on the laundromat bully in "Tee Off, Mr. Bean" by switching his cup of fabric softener with a cup of coffee, which causes all of the bully's clothes to turn brown.
