SP2: Describe a movie/TV show Flashcards
What it was
I’ve found the TV program Mr. Bean funny. It was originally set in UK, and then the sitcom expanded to other countries, including Vietnam, my home country. The drama series went viral in Vietnam in the early 2010s when dozens of people watched and imitated Mr. Bean’s absurd behaviors.
How often you watched it
The series was aired every Sunday afternoon on the Disney channel, and I don’t think I have missed any episode.
What it was about
The central plot revolves around Mr. Bean, an eccentric British man. Each episode of Mr. Bean tells a totally different story, unlike a normal drama series that only gives you a fraction of the whole story in an episode so you’ll have to binge on the whole series to find our the truth. Mr. Bean was portrayed as “a child in a grown man’s body,” trying to solve everyday problems, but often causing troubles instead.
And explain why it could make you laugh
It is the awkward and crazy behaviors of Mr. Bean that makes me burst into laughter. I still remember vividly in this one episode, Mr. Bean designed a strange hairstyle for a kid when the hairdresser was away. It was even more hilarious when the kid’s mom went back to complain, and Mr. Bean hid in a corner like a child. Mr. Bean is such a great sitcom that I still sometimes watch it to relieve stress.
