Whether it be virtual or in-classroom instruction, families with school-age children are making plans for the safe return to school over the course of the next few weeks, In honor of ‘back to school week’, today’s Friday Funny from Tellyspotting comes courtesy of Rowan Atkinson’s brilliant Mr. Bean and Back to School Mr. Bean.

After finally finding a parking space for his Mini, Bean experiments in the chemistry lab with several chemicals and makes a creative but very unstable chemical reaction, forcing Bean to escape from the laboratory. As a young boy enters and inspects the experiment, Bean walks out of the laboratory as a violent explosion erupts with blue smoke emerging from beneath the door.

From Back to School Mr Bean…

You think this is dangerous, wait until Bean leaves the lab and heads to his still-life art class…
