It's crazy that an actor with such a perfect diction and such a great comedic timing created a character who barely speaks at all. Rowan Atkinson, we love you!
The sketch is so good because - obviously Rowan Atkinson is brilliant - Elton John plays his part so very well. Some of the looks and stares he gives Atkinson, and his looks aside to the audience are quite superb.
There is that sketch somewhere in youtube where Rowan as school teacher doing roll call with just rude words as student names. Search for 'rowan atkinson school teacher'
@Christopher Kargbo I don't know what comedians you guys watch from "today". This feels like the kind of thing where a boomer says that they made "real" music back in their day, and everything that comes after it is garbage. Completely disregarding tens of thousands of brilliant albums and good music. There are plenty of amazing comedians of "today". Bill Burr, Dave Chappelle, Jim Jefferies, Dave Attell, Arie Spears, Josh Blue, Tom Segura, Chris Distefano, Patrice O'neal, Louis CK, there's no shortage at all of current funny comedians.
Hats off to Elton to have controlled his laughter. I'm sure they would have rehearsed this 1000 times just so he could not burst out laughing and yet Rowan Atkinson's act was still making him bite his lips to stop laughing.
Probably read the script many times and played the scenarios so many times that he doesn’t find it funny. Unless it’s a sketch made on the spot, he’s very, very good.
For those who don’t get it, it’s a satire of how interviewer and journalist only ask the artist about anything other than their music or their art and when they switch topics it’s to instigate drama.
One musical stage performer and one comedian stage performer once teamed up to act out one of the greatest theatrical performences we ever witnessed. Both are worldwide treasures. Both somehow touch you with whatever they do. This is the greatness mankind is able to!
Rowan is ALWAYS the forgotten gem of comedy. EVERYONE knows him, yet everyone forgets to mention his name. Not just his writing skills, but his untouchable skills of being able to tell a story using ONLY body language. So impressive.
@Ronald McDonald He is only well known for his Mr Bean peformance. The ones who known him for his comedic vocubulary genius are the minority (tho that dosent mean that there are only a few of them)

This interview was in 1980. Mr Bean, the original series, didn't grace our UK TV screens until 1990. In Britain, Atkinson is better known for the brilliant Blackadder series that began in 1983.
One thing that strikes me is that Rowan stood up to greet elton. It's a small thing, but i think it shows a great deal of respect. You don't really see that on TV now.
Elvis Leong likes sour cream and onion chips ok I checked and I’m wrong, but he came out as gay a mere 2 years (1988) before this video, still considered ages ago !
I've seen this so many times, but I've only realised that Rowan is "shot" and falls before Elton says "bang," in keeping with the reverse nature of the topic.
That gun was supposed to create a sound. But it malfunctioned hence Rowan was confused for a moment and yet dropped down as in the script. Elton realised and shouted bang to cover up the delay.
Rowan is so underestimated - mostly known for his Mr Bean character to people outside the UK but he is truly one of the best comedians ever. So dry, so distinct.
How on earth did Elton keep a straight face doing this sketch! An almost impossible task. Rowan is without doubt one of the funniest comedians ever, yet he manages to do it. Brilliant !!!
Just imagine that THIS GUY is able to make people laugh for 5 minutes straight without any stupidity and with grace.

Rowan Atkinson is an incredible example of how comedy can be done without any adult content in it.

He has some adult episodes in mr bean and also in movies

Too bad that Elton John never got married with Ben Elton. He could then change his name to Elton Elton. That would help.

@@christyhunt8545 That's a brilliant smile he's got, too. Completely conveys the situation without quite breaking character.
Wish Mr. Rowan Atkinson would have a Late Night Talk Show.
Yes!!! I'd totally watch that.
He's sticking with what he's good at.
Honestly for me, this more funnier. Mr. Bean quite iconic but silent comedy not really my thing. I prefer this type of comedy 😄
It's now called Between two Ferns
The show would be way better than that asshole John Oliver’s show
Elton was a really good sport allowing Rowan to do this comedic interview.

Elton’s rickshaw is parked backstage.
This interview is just pure gold. I can never get enough of it.
Elton should have retorted with "Rowan is also not a name." Surely, when he was studying, there were many other seats to take - than row 1.
This is such an underrated comment ...
*Hats off*
It's also not a noun at all, it's a verb. 💁
That would’ve been cool. Why didn’t they think of that lol
Could it mean you're lazy on gaming, so to save your noodles for humour perhaps?
This is amazing. Both Rowan and Elton are acting perfectly.
Rowan is naturally funny but man gotta give credit to Elton trying so hard not to laugh 😂
Two legends sharing the show ❤
I've never seen John Elton so young.
Elton John
Seriously? This was recorded in 1991. Elton was not a child by any means.
ELTON John
Atkinson Rowan is the utter genius King of British comedy, and his attributes must surely make him Prime Minister material.; yes, sorry, quite right; Minister Prime. That of course would currently be Johnson Boris.
Surely you must mean Minister Prime
@D Peeps Pretty sure it's Atkinson Rowan
D Peeps well your ducking thick, you clearly didn’t watch the vid pickhead
Sven Ango Silly Me!!

Elton breaking character repeatedly is the most wholesome thing ever
You mean John?
The silly bitch.
I don't see a sence of humor in what's his name.
Love the randomness of YT. Not seen this until tonight. Brilliant comedy.
Rowan Atkinson is a comedic genius!!!
You mean Atkinson Rowan
Well, of course he is! The best of the best!
He didn't get the sarcasm lol

Elton trying so hard not to laugh. Lol. He is also known for his incredible wit and sense of humour.
He’s such a great sport. Can truly do it all!
I think he was just trying hard not to hit him
He looks like he's actually bothered and nervous
@@t.kahraba763 lol
@@t.kahraba763 Uhm, he brought a fake gun and a punch line to the sketch, so it's pretty certain he was in on it.
