The Best in Humor. By Gene W. Edwards. Posted 3/3/2024.

Not infrequently, I’ll find comedians, comedy, and comedy films for you that are funny enough to knock you off your chair! This one: segments from TV’s “Impractical Jokers,” from “Mr. Bean”; and Elvis Presley’s favorite movie.

Here’s one of the latest from the U.K.’s Mr. Bean (Rowan Atkinson): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBgfpXi7Y6Y&ab_channel=MrBean

It’s Mr. Bean waking up late, then going to the dentist . . . .and making trouble.

In case you ever think Rowan Atkinson is a lightweight, consider, from his bio on Wikipedia:

“After receiving top grades in science A levels,[12] he secured a place at Newcastle University, where he received a BSc degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering in 1975.[13][14] He subsequently obtained an MSc degree in Electrical Engineering at The Queen’s College, Oxford in 1975, the same college where his father matriculated in 1935,[15] and which made Atkinson an Honorary Fellow in 2006.[16] His master’s thesis, published in 1978, considered the application of self-tuning control.[17]”

In short, Atkinson and some of his family members attended the best schools.

Now we come to TV’s the Impractical Jokers. Take a look this one. I almost laughed myself sick! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivUOBdHu6VE&ab_channel=truTV

It’s a send-up of the Arabian Knights story. Talk about pratfalls! In the air!
