History WesternAnimation / MrBeanTheAnimatedSeries

* NiceMeanAndInBetween: We have Irma as the nice one, as she is willing to put up with Bean despite his flaws, Mrs. Wicket, the mean, abrasive landlady of Bean's flat, and Bean himself as the in-between, as he can be a bad boyfriend to Irma, but does care about her to some extent and is way more pleasant than Wicket.

* ActorAllusion: In an episode from Season 2, ''Bean's Safari'', Mr. Bean visits a safari park and Creator/RowanAtkinson has already dealt with [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing African animals. Expecially lions.]]

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: In "[=SuperMarrow=]", where Mr. Bean and the Bruisers father-and-son compete to grow the heaviest watermelon, the latter attempts to sabotage the former's fruit in every way possible, one of which is putting caterpillars inside the fruit. While the attempt failed, the caterpillars managed to land on the fruit anyway. Come tomorrow, the Bruisers swap their watermelon with Bean's while he's not looking... not knowing they've sabotaged that very fruit.

* LuxuryPrisonSuite: Treated casually in one episode where Mr. Bean ends up in jail due to his CriminalDoppelganger and his new surroundings include a prisoner who seems to be some sort of crime boss with such accommodations. Throughout the episode, Mr. Bean takes a disapproving attitude towards crooks, but when he ''escapes,'' he's easily bribed into aiding that one as well. [[spoiler:They take his key, say "ILied" and leave their cell unattended, which basically becomes the punchline to the episode.]]

* ProWrestlingEpisode: In "Wrestle Bean" , Bean becomes a wrestling champion by mistake thanks to the efforts of two elderly women.

After airing from 2002 to 2004, the show saw a surprise {{Revival}} in 2014, where it then ran on to 2019. It's much the same as the previous run, but with stiffer Flash animation done in-house at Tiger Aspect, a reworked opening, more dialogue, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking a nicer Mrs. Wicket]].

* CompanyCameo: In "Wanted", shortly after Mr. Bean incorrectly gets sent to jail (due to a similar-looking escaped convict who takes refuge in Bean's flat), one inmate mentions that he really wants to get sent to [[Creator/VargaStudio Varga]]. Varga is the animation studio that provides the overseas animation for the early seasons.

* AdaptationalIntelligence: While he's still somewhat portrayed as a bumbling buffoon, Mr. Bean is notably much more competent and less bizarre here than he was in the live-action series.

''Mr. Bean: The Animated Series'' (shown as just ''Mr. Bean'' on the opening screen) is an AnimatedAdaptation of ''Series/MrBean'' which first aired in 2002. Like the original, it is a physical dialogue-less comedy that focuses on Mr. Bean as he bumbles his way through life. However, some additional characters were added. Now part of the main cast is Mrs. Wicket, Bean's cranky landlord, who doesn't like him too much, and her pet cat Scrapper, who not only also hates Bean, but also hates everyone who isn't Wicket. Additional supporting characters include a duo of burglars who are always being foiled by Bean, and his neighbors, the middle-class Bruisers.

* SpeakingSimlish: The first three seasons, though not without some clarity, had the characters speak like this. Averted from Season 4 onward, where everyone, including Bean, speaks with coherent sentences.

* BigNo: Bean lets out a huge one in "Neighbourly Bean" when he finds his favorite show has ended after going around his flat trying to watch it in peace. The Bruisers manage to hear it and dismiss it.

* CriminalDoppelganger: Bean was once mistaken for a criminal who looked exactly like him. The two ended up switching places for a short time, and the convict decided to break ''back into'' his jail cell [[PreferJailToTheProtagonist after he couldn't stand Bean's landlady]].
