By Chuckles McGee, Entertainment Editor
Internet, Everywhere – Move over, athletes! The top Olympic video of 2023 isn’t a record-breaking performance but a nostalgic trip back to the 2012 London Olympics, starring none other than Mr. Bean. That’s right – the bumbling, beloved character played by Rowan Atkinson has stolen the spotlight once again with his unforgettable comedic appearance at the opening ceremony.
For those who missed it (or need a good laugh), let’s rewind to 2012. The London Olympics kicked off with a bang, and in a moment of pure British brilliance, Mr. Bean found himself “playing” the keyboard in a performance of “Chariots of Fire.” As the serious musicians around him played with dedication, Mr. Bean’s antics stole the show.
1. The One-Finger Symphony Mr. Bean’s one-finger keyboard playing might not have impressed the music critics, but it definitely hit the right note with viewers. His struggle to stay awake and his exaggerated boredom had the audience in stitches. The top video of 2023 proves that some comedic moments are timeless!
2. Dreaming of Victory… and a Beach In true Mr. Bean fashion, our hero drifted into a daydream mid-performance. In his imagination, he outran all the athletes in “Chariots of Fire” – on a beach, no less. His slow-motion run, complete with his signature goofy expression, has been replayed millions of times online. Who knew Mr. Bean was such an athlete?
3. The Sneaky Sneaker Snap Let’s not forget the moment when Mr. Bean, determined to keep the rhythm, used his umbrella to press the keyboard keys while snapping a photo with his phone. This multitasking marvel brought the house down and became an instant classic, forever etching Mr. Bean’s name in Olympic history.
With over a billion views and counting, the 2023 resurgence of Mr. Bean’s 2012 performance is a testament to the enduring appeal of humor. It turns out that amidst the serious competition and athletic excellence, sometimes all we need is a good laugh.
So, as we celebrate the latest Olympic games, let’s take a moment to appreciate the lighter side of the Olympics. Thanks, Mr. Bean, for reminding us that laughter truly is the best sport.
