Remember when Rowan Atkinson used to be funny?

[CaptainWacky]

It's definitely not now.

 

[jack]

I agree, what do you suppose happened?

 

[CaptainWacky]

They might as well have The Chuckle Brothers on.

 

[Filthy Whore]

I've haven't seen anything he's been in since Blackadder. Guess I should keep it that way.

 

[whisky]

Yes, it was called the 80s.

 

[headvoid]

He channels the ghost of Benny Hill now.

 

[Loktar]

He was funny(IMO) in Johnny English and those Mr. Bean movies a few years ago.

 

[Gagh]

I'm sorry,but I howled with laughter.

 

[CaptainWacky]

I did like the Mister Bean where he changed into his shorts on the beach without taking his trousers off because he thought someone was watching...and the guy was blind. I'LL ADMIT THAT.

 

[Enkephalen]

His nostrils got really, really large. That's always a major turn off.

 

[jack]

^funniest thing Ive ever seen you post. I cant stop laughing

 

[Fuddlemiff]

I thought the Bean bit was really funny. Not as good as the Bond bit, but definitely a highlight.

 

[whisky]

I'm impressed the actually got the real queen to act in a Bond film, although with the animated Churchill statue I am not sure its cannon.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

If I had any complaint it'd be the Queen being completely incapable of smiling. What is that about.

I know she's getting on a bit and I know she gets dragged around all over the place and I can imagine after 60 years you'd get blasé even about the Olympics coming to your country, but come on, someone announces your name and the cameras are obviously going to be pointed at you, if not a beaming grin, then even an expression of indifference would be better rather than outright fury.

But the bit when it cut to her picking her nails was the unintentional comedy highlight of the night.

 

[whisky]

She was probably pissed off she was missing the live eviction.

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

George Takei's terrific taste in memes continues its perfect streak:

 

[CaptainWacky]

Sorry for putting a downer on the Olympics by not liking Mister Bean.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

It's ok, so long as you're still amused by other British institutions such as James Corden and the ever reliable Lenny Henry.

 

[whisky]

Thanks to Lenny Henry I always think of him in raiders of the lost ark when the freighter captain is called Katanaga.

 

[CaptainWacky]

I am glad they didn't have a "SMITHY DIRECTINED THE OPENING CEREMONY" skit.
