Not since The Bee Movie had the fusion of comedy and the honey hive created such baffling results as 2022's Man vs Bee. And there were nine episodes of it. That epic struggle (both the show and paying attention to it) had a directionless premise and quite blatant intellectual property plunder from Atkinson's own back catalogue. The comedy was entirely derived from his non-verbal, clumsy Mr Bean-ing, but this time, sapped of all uncanny unpredictability and entirely orchestrated around a bee, rendered in hideous CGI. One review at the time compared it to Bong Joon-Ho's Parasite, if Parasite was "the worst thing you'd seen in your life'. That might have taken some journalistic licence for laughs (who among us?), but…...

Watch Richard Pryor use humor to shut down Johnny Carson Guest on poverty However, it was when the conversation turned to the idea of poverty that things took a turn. The typically hilarious, vulgar comedian had been exceptionally respectful to his fellow guest.
