How do you evaluate the status of Bean in the UK?

I think Mr. Bean is a world-class comedy master who can be compared with Chaplin in the United States and Louis de Funès in France. Regardless of the form of artistic expression, if you want to reach a certain height, you must ultimately clearly express some higher connotations rather than just stay on the surface of the art form. All three of them successfully achieved this. Their works not only reflect the fate of ordinary people in real life, but also include "lofty" political themes - anti-war, anti-terrorism... Behind the laughter and curses, there is a very clear political stance and it is expressed vividly. Compared to those who make money simply by making fun of people, I don’t know how much higher it is. The three of them are well-deserved comedy masters in the world today.
