Atkinson's style is often visually-based. This visual style, which has been compared to Buster Keaton, sets Atkinson apart as most modern television and film comedies rely heavily on dialogue, and stand-up comedy is mostly based on monologues. This talent for visual comedy has led to Atkinson being called "the man with the rubber face": comedic reference was made to this in an episode of Blackadder the Third, in which Baldrick (Tony Robinson) refers to his master, Mr. E. Blackadder, as a "lazy, big nosed, rubber-faced bastard".
Blackadder was better than Mr Bean imho. Smarmy bastard you actually want to win, and I always found it amusing to see that with each series Blackadder would get smarter while Baldrick would get dumber.

No I don't think it's just you, I kind of noticed...but don't think I put 2 an 2 together until now.
Hey! Zazou was funny in Lion King.
Lies! You'll probably think i'm a cretin, but I love Mr Bean. Sometimes ye just wanna laugh at an idiot
Mr Bean is incredibly hilarious. But, according to Atkinson, the Holiday movie (worst thing with Mr Bean EVER) was his final shining. :eek:
Much better then the Ultimate Disaster Movie.
Willam Dafoe was especially good in it.
Rowan Atkinson =/= Mr Bean
