Mr. Bean
Slapstick television character
Mr.
Bean is a fictional character created and portrayed by British comedian Rowan Atkinson—a childlike, socially awkward man who rarely speaks and stumbles through everyday situations with disastrous results.
The character appeared in a television series (1990–1995) and two feature films.
By extension, calling someone a Mr.
Bean suggests bumbling incompetence: He's a real Mr. Bean when it comes to technology.
