Not funny at all.


Who finds this nerd the least bit funny. I think he's pretty lame and the silent character wears thin quickly. It's just annoying and exasperating to me. But definitely not humorous.

Have you seen Black Adder?

I do. And why the negative connotation around "nerd" of all words? What make Rowan Atkinson a "nerd", and why do you go there for a generic insult? I can understand that Mr. Bean, the character you seem to be referring to, is not for everyone and perhaps an acquired tastes sine it's far outside the norm of comedy entertainment today. But it takes some serious skill as a performer to deliver that character. Silent performance is like a lost art today. Also, I'm guessing you've never seen the Blackadder English sitcom. You can find it on line. Blackadder is completely different to the Bean character and it shows you Rowan's impressive range as a comedy performer. In my opinion, Atkinson is a brilliant physical performer; I haven't seen anyone today who matches his unique talent. And he can do verbal characters excellently as well.

The word 'nerd' exists because simple people require simple labels so that they can apply them to people and things that are too complex for feeble minds to grasp in their entirety. That also answers your question as to why you don't find Rowan Atkinson funny.

Yes! And you can take that perv Benny Hill, Jim Carrey and that twit Ellen Degeneres and make a big pile of unfunny.

Just saw his live pieces (on Youtube): The Devil, The Amazing Jesus, Dirty Names and The School Master. Laughed more in 20 minutes than I have in total for months. That includes watching comedies such as "Modern Family" and "The Big Bang Theory", which at their best, may raise a smile or a brief chuckle for me.

I'm going to make a point of watching at least two of his live pieces a day to put me in a positive frame of mind.
