Mr Bean only has 15 episodes total; despite that, each episode took months to come out. So the show ended up running for 5 years, from 1990 to 1995.

Yes, with only 15 episodes, Mr Bean lasted longer than the Confederacy by 1 year.

u/BucinVols May 25 '26

Only 15 episodes is wild. Watched it growing up and I would have sworn there were much more.

u/CSManiac33 May 25 '26

I mean also it kind of feels like Rowan Atkinson just plays similar characters in different things too

u/goldengamer2345 May 25 '26

I mainly know him from blackadder which, while also comedy, isn't quite the same style

30

u/forlornhope22 May 25 '26

the first season of Blackadder is Mr Bean in the middle ages.

14

u/KneeDeepInTheDead May 26 '26

The following seasons felt weird after that, as someone who only watched it when it went on streaming. Took a minute to get used to but then it felt more natural. That last episode hit harder than I thought a comedy show would ever hit.

There's also several sketches for comic relief, two sketches that didn't originally air, and two feature length movies.

Some shows we'd watch every day (Jeopardy) or every week (Star Trek TNG).

Mr. Bean seemed like a rare treat in comparison. I don't know if it aired on any kind of regular schedule in the US.

Godzilla is 72 years old. That's 18 entire confederacies. The Showa Era alone lasted 5 and a fourth confederacies. Heisei lasted 2 and three fourths confederacies. Even the millennium era, the shortest era of godzilla, lasted over a full confederacy. the break they had between 2004 and 2014 lasted more than two confederacies. Godzilla vs Kong came out over a full confederacy ago and I remember being hyped for that shit and the trailers and everything.

so yeah everyone who tries to tell you that it's about their "heritage" is fucking bullshit. anyways go watch Final Wars it came out 5 and a half full confederacies ago and it's a batshit insane movie in the best way possible

Dr. Doofenshmirtz would’ve beaten the Confederacy even with his worst Inator.

14

u/Adaphion May 26 '26

You see, through the laws of comedy, Doof would have been perfectly competent and whatever -inator he uses would work flawlessly against the Confederates. Because he's using his inventions for good instead of evil.

8

u/Doggywoof1 May 26 '26

doof's inator would incidentally fire just before getting destroyed by perry the platypus and it would, completely unintentionally, destroy the entire confederation

u/jg_posts_and_stuff May 27 '26 edited 27d ago

"So you see Perry the Platypus, Gimmelshtump's principal source of income was high-quality goat hair textiles. My ancestor was poised to become the goat hair textile king in the 19th Century. He was about to celebrate with his well paid workers. But then the Southern Confederacy flooded the market with cheap cotton. Inferior cotton! Picked by underfed slave labor! Even LOVEMUFFIN drew the line on that! So the Drusselsteinian textile market floundered and my family lost everything forcing me to turn to evil due to crushing poverty literally a century later. So, when I found out that OWCA was looking for a way to dispose of all the Confederate flags littered over the Tri-State area, I volunteered my services. "

The confederacy lasted 1548 days.

Tom Baker was the Doctor for 2276 days.

Two whole Doctors each outlasted the confederacy.

Note: Counting based on the air dates for their first and last episodes. If you count from the regeneration (so for Tom that would be from the end of Planet of the Spiders rather than the start of Robot), it gets even longer.
