Did you?


I recently found out that most people don't know this.

I think because the movies don't bring it up at all and that's what most people remember.

But yeah that's why the guy is weird. Not because he's British, but because he's an alien trying to emulate humanity

I've only seen clips of mr. bean but that's wild, just thought he was a peewee herman type character and just goofy.

I learned last year.
It was in a video talking about how Mr Bean would kick Superman's ass.
Good video by the way, worth the watch.

I miss those old school theories about his origins. Another was that he was a guy that was beamed up and experimented on by aliens, poked and prodded etc

I dont know how accurate this is but a Google search found this.

Why did Mr. Bean fall from the sky?
Bean falls from the sky in a beam of light, accompanied by a choir singing Ecce homo qui est faba ("Behold the man who is a bean "). These opening sequences were initially in black and white in episodes 2 and 3, and were intended by the producers to show his status as an "ordinary man cast into the spotlight".

I don't think it's conclusive that the falling from the sky thing means he's an alien. I interpreted to just be a metaphor for him not fitting in

I was not under the impression the opening credits were the intended to be part of the plot or that falling from the sky always means someone is an alien.

Personally I find him much more entertaining as just a really weird guy.

Yeah watching that again, it felt more metaphorical to me, like "behold! The average man! What a fool he is. Let us observe."

To me it just seems like the mostly nonverbal slapstick comedy situations caused by a guy acting really weird and childish in common situations. No more and no less.

I thought the aliens took him for that, but he was such an annoying pain in the butt that they gave up and didn't even bother to take him home.

If you watch that Mr Bean could kill Superman video, it goes into Mr Bean being an alien.
Depends if you think the animated series is canon. I am not well versed in the prestigious Mr Bean Expanded Universe.

The Bean in the animated series is too different to be the same one.
He is more competent, less buffoonish and he talks more in complete sentences.

I seriously doubt the creators of the original show intended him to be an alien. That seems like it was a retcon from a later cartoon. While I'm honestly not that big of a stickler on Mr. Bean continuity of all things, it honestly feels like missing the point of the joke about the weird's most peculiar man attempting to navigate ordinary life in a classic slapstick Buster Keaton or Charlie Chaplin mostly dialogue free way. "The travails of an alien pretending to be a human" is inherently a premise so different it's reductive to the original jokes.

"ha ha aliens fail to understand humans" is a joke that's done to death but Mr. Bean was a unique animal. The idea of this bizarre little englishman out there too awkward to say much but trying to understand the world and maybe get ahead through whatever odd thought passes through his head is much funnier to me.
