Ranked: These Comedians Have Made Us Laugh For Decades

29. Rowan Atkinson

How does a man make millions of people laugh without saying a single word? All you need to do is look at Rowan Atkinson and his amazing performance as the iconic Mr. Bean. For five years between 1990 and 1995, he played the silent hero who made people across three generations laugh their socks off.

Of course, Atkinson also made us cry with laughter with his vocal performances in shows like Blackadder, as well as his standup and improv performances. Even though he doesn’t play Mr. Bean anymore, it remains a timeless classic nearly 30 years later.
