>>213403058i mean mr bean is a bit of autistic and he tends to do cunt like things, he's not outright malicious just devious but you would hate him in real life
it's played for laughs and tension so it works but yea
>>213403100i would say mr bean is a autistic orphan that never learned how to blend in properly, he clearly makes an effort to fit in at times or at least keep up his public persona of a upstanding citizen but he tends to fail miserably usually due to his own actions backfiring magnificently
also mr bean is way too socially aware of himself and how he's perceived to be indian, indians will just stare at you and eat with their hands at a fancy restaurant without even hiding it, at least mr bean knows how he is supposed to behave properly but doesn't know how to do it
also in the tv series lore he's pretty much a alien from a race of mr bean clones as canon, it's why in the intro he's dropped off by "a beam of light"

>>213403162no one ever implied that he's a high IQ intentional social taboo breaker, usually his motivations for doing it on purpose are petty like the food is bad, the line is long or he just wants a parking spot
in most cases he's just clueless to the local language, doesn't know proper etiquette or is just clumsy, the idea of his breaking social taboos is to build tension to the episode / scene it's not that hard concept to grasp even the greeks knew that every good story requires drama or tension at the very least
