If you are after a comedy that actually makes you laugh out loud, Mr. Bean: The Animated Series is available in Australia on Amazon Prime Video and ABC iview, and in the US on Amazon Prime Video right now. With 7 seasons behind it, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. With 455 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Rowan Atkinson sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. Available now on Amazon Prime Video — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Mr. Bean: The Animated Series is worth clearing space for. Mr. Bean: The Animated Series does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. The animated daily trials and tribulations of clueless yet clever loner Mr Bean (aided by his best friend Teddy of course!) as he stumbles from one mishap to the next, always finding complex solutions to the simplest of problems. The chemistry Rowan Atkinson and Sally Grace bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. The series ran for 7 seasons (2002–2026), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Mr. Bean: The Animated Series holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Mr. Bean: The Animated Series is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. Viewers who responded to Alvinnn!!! And The Chipmunks will find a lot to like here too. At 7 seasons, this is a genuine commitment — one that pays off. Rowan Atkinson's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.
