Actually, he's an 'angel' that has fallen (or returned to Earth because 'God' got so tired of dealing with him) from heaven. That's why they play church choir music during the intro scene.
Fun fact. The choir sing "Ecce homo qui est faba".
Behold the man who is bean.
And during the end-credits, they sing "Vale homo qui est faba".
Farewell, the man who is a bean.
I had no idea. That's a excellent attention to detail.
The animated series says otherwise.
Bean comes from an alien ship full of other Mr Beans that kick him out. So apparently there is an entire race of Beans.
Let's argue about it like Star Trek: I don't think the Animated Series is canon. :)
Oh yeah. I had those on DVD as a kid - pirated, of course, this is Lebanon in the 2000s - and this episode was on the last disc. Somehow it got scratched up or something, and not all of the episodes played, or the DVD player would error out or something.
So the memories I had of this episode were hazy for the longest time, because I’d seen all the other episodes way more times.
Would you believe I revisited the show as an adult? Very budget-looking animation, but maybe I think of it as charming because of how familiar it is to me. Seriously, look at some of those scenes, they really build out a world with minimal lines and objects.
Now if you want to see catastrophe, you can look at the PS2 game they made of the animated series. Actual so-bad-it’s-good game that’s not too long.
These images are the same.
