In an interview he explained that he used to stutter and to avoid that he almost overacted the accentuation. It helped him to overcome the problem and shape his style.
@@alyx6427 - as a simple Wikipedia search informed me ― Blackadder came before Mr. Bean. Also - he was doing impressions etc, as as a kid, for other kids.
@@banja9172 The thin blue line!! 🔥💯 YESSS!! Finally a person of culture!! That thing is sooo underrated and people don't even mention it! One of the best things he's done ever!
'... never had the faintest idea what hit him!' It's his intonation which makes this already great sketch superb:) Rowan is a god of comedy, so much more than just Mr. Bean.
I'm proud of this talented man from the North of England..People are often amused at geordies but Rowan is from Consett, believe it or not, and can speak his native geordie accent very well!
"He gladly leads tom wherever he wanted to go, but dick didn't knew where Tom wanted to go, but Tom never complained, because he was blind" love that freaking good part! :D Rowan Atkinson 4ever
Some of the funniest ppl on the planet are those with a true sense of morbidity. Imagine Atkinson could get at least a small chuckle out of most facing a firing squad just by his manner of asking them the questions concerning a final cigarette and a blindfold
Dick saw the combined harvester...!!! Harry heard the combined harvester...!!! But neither could cry out....!!! Tom who could've cried out... Never had the FAINTEST idea what hit him.... LMAO...Best comedian ever born...
... and the Holy Goat (instead of Ghost of course). As the nervous novice vicar on 3 Weddings and a Funeral. If this famous Tom, Dick and Harry monologue is a live first take to an audience, the sheer perfection of nuances and being word and inflection perfect, and clearly not having an autocue is stunning. His delivery is of course the result of years of being a superb comedian and as he is first to admit, superb writers.
My favourite is the one were the age man hides in the buses and waits for the household to go out. Then he runs to the door and posts a card stating that called and no one was in lol pmsl
@mrsjones89 - Absolutely agree here. Look at the Blackadder series for instance. The wonderful use of the English language simply keeps me glued to all of his performances !
OMG I LOVE THIS GUY! I could watch him all day long if my eyes wouldn't pop out of my head. haha that would be kind of funny in itself if it didn't hurt.

I wonder if the source of this video was intended to be suitable for U.S. audiences. Granted, he still says "Radio One" (but that's still understandable for an American), but the television line is completely different to a version that I have, with "Tom remarking that rubbish like this just wasn't worth the licence fee." And Dick was a tremendous fan of Bananarama in the version I have -- again something that people in the U.S. might not get.
Atkinson is amazing, it's not just the lines, it's the delivery.
I will be honoured to reply to this after 8 years.
thanks for clearing that up. wasnt sure why, just had a feelin'
And facial expressions.
Well, delivery is 85% percent of comedy.
In an interview he explained that he used to stutter and to avoid that he almost overacted the accentuation. It helped him to overcome the problem and shape his style.
also a lot of his famous stuff was silent (mr bean cough cough)
@@alyx6427 Mr Bean wasn't "a lot", but just a fraction of his work. Theater, Blackadder, the thin blue line.

Not to mention the Johnny English movies
I hope he lives forever so I can still enjoy his work! I think this guy has relieved so many stresses! Bless him!
I just love Rowan Atkinson's sketches, as they showcase his comic genius and talent for timing so well. Thanks for posting this!
'... never had the faintest idea what hit him!'

Rowan is a god of comedy, so much more than just Mr. Bean.
Have you heard of 'Not The Nine O'Clock News' ?
This is such a fabulous story, and Rowan tells it so well. Really endearing.
Tom, who could have cried out, never had the FAINTEST idea what hit him...
Comedy at its best. Rowan Atkinson is amazing.
Most amazing,,,I could just sit and listen for days,,,love him
I'm proud of this talented man from the North of England..People are often amused at geordies but Rowan is from Consett, believe it or not, and can speak his native geordie accent very well!

through the medium....of a clenched fist...actually broke throught to Tom, and got him to shut up... ha ha brilliant
This is pure comedian acting. This is how it shuold be done. Always, always and for eternity

Such talent. I can't stop laughing. He's hilarious
I haven't laughed this hard for ages - I had forgotten this sketch

I just adore this man he's THE LEGEND he's THE MAN oh I love him so fricking much it's unbelievable.....

Oh man...Rowan Atkinson is sooo good !!!!
rowan atkinson is the best! I've already listenned this short joke hundreds times but in each time I laugh more than before
He knows his stuff, i wish they would play his old Mr Bean series back on TV they were good.
I admit I didn't laugh very much until near the end. Atkinson's pacing is razor sharp. Thanks for sharing.
Rowan Atkinson has a magnificent voice.
My favourite is the one were the age man hides in the buses and waits for the household to go out. Then he runs to the door and posts a card stating that called and no one was in lol pmsl
pure genius. this man is my role model

В воздухе витает дух Чарльза Лэма.
Роуэн актёр, создающий атмосферу былого Театра.
Таков он. Это его дар.
simply perfect, he's a genius
He is my Mentor
OMG I LOVE THIS GUY! I could watch him all day long if my eyes wouldn't pop out of my head. haha that would be kind of funny in itself if it didn't hurt.
Rowan is greater than his legend. This was awesome. Black comedy, exquisite written.
You are beautiful man I wish you the best from somalia. You speak about the truth
Dick watching the television,Tom hearing the television and Harry insisting it was time to buy a television. This is so mean 🙂
Absolutely fukn hilarious
one of his greatest!!! lov it!
"Tom would do the listening to Radio 1"
hahahahaha
Rowan atkinson was on top gear last night now the fastest man to go around their test track he did it it 1.42.2
"Tom, Dick and Harry" is a phrase used when speaking of "everyone", as in "Every Tom, Dick and Harry knows that water is wet".
Like we didn't know that! A few of us are educated.
@@briancaldwell7305 Well, actually, not everyone here is a native speaker of English. I personally find this comment quite useful

There are nowhere near enough olivia newton john jokes in comedy. He is flawless in his delivery!
ROWN Atkinson is a comedy genius 🏴🇬🇧
A truly funny man. Brilliant delivery.
I think this is the first time I felt like I wasgoing to go to hell for laughing at a sketch lol... god this was so sad but hilarious lol
He was at his prime well before Mr Bean and that's how I will remember him best. 47 nil is my favourite.
And it is ... together that we remember them.
Mr. Bean I never heard your voice I am so happy your are talking .I love your show its so funny.
He's a genius!! Now and forever
Tom, Dick and Harry were cut into mush (blended) by the cutters of a Combine Harvester, and he was imitating the sawblades' turning
I must say, it's great. One of the best :D
after "hell"
And don't forget the bee keeper interview
@@aqilalhu bee keeping, with Atkinson and Cleese, is my favourite
He's been my favorite comedian since i 3 years old . :D
This guy is awesome.... Hilarious and smart!
i think this is one of the funiest out of his show
Awesome!
His ability to stay in character is peerless. Unique, a one-off.
i love this guy! rowan you're a genius
It isn't just any Tom Dick & Harry that could be so elegantly eulogized!
This is hysterical!
OMG! i love you Rowan! keep up the good work - you're a Master!
Atkinson, Marty Feldman and Benny Hill are the English Kings of Comedy!!!
I love the part "Well, he couldn't, he was dumb." :-D
A truly local vicar!
Hilarious, the definite vicar!
Absolutely insane. Richard Curtis is a genius.
One person laughing in the crowd sounds like a engine failing to start.
“Time’s up!”
“NO IT ISN’T!”
Greatest funny line of all time.
Baldrick, you utter bastard!
I will dislike all of Thierry videos if they say that Rowan Atkinson's comedy is stupid.
This guy is a comedy genius.
Rowan : Enema, you know Imadick , don't you ? LOL
Jesus man.. I wouldn't invite Rowan Atkinson to any funeral :D
oh...!!!!!! i love this guy he is pure fun.....
He and Tommy Cooper are my favorites
his my one of my fav!!....hilarious!
"...and no doubt tom will ruin it for everybody" :D
He is so serious about it....so damned funny.

poor child! you only know a little..
haha the end is genius great work Rowan! :)
Pure, unadulterated comedy!!!
waching to the tv , listing to the tv and tom asisting to buy a tv hahah
what a gr8 legend he is.. that script about Tom dick n Harry, without using a teleprompter or microphone is unbelievable. Huge respect 🙏 🙌
When the day comes for you and everyone else to see the combined harvester (angel of death) ....
my cousins go 2 the same school as rowans kid. i love this film! its scary!
would be great to see the original. great sketch
Impeccable
yeah, he does that all the time, in every character, it almost seems like a nervous tick.
this is so funny, so why is there less than a million views? there should be a lot more views!
whenever he says Dick I crack up!! he just has this way of saying it XD
Just brill.
He's a genius! Thanks for posting. :))
@Quinnknights i love their accent. Thanks for sharing! =D
When Rowan tells a story you know it is going to be funny no Mather what he tells
