[P] Whereas I now look upon Atkinson as a craven coward, cowering in the corner, hoping he won't be bullied back for being a bully. And I'dbelieve what his ex-wife has said about him too, due to this. That his behavior has been unacceptable. It's the mindset of a bully, hoping everyone rolls over and accepts bullying. I don't like bullies—they're always inecure cowards at best. Bullying isn't comedy.

[P] It's fine if you slip up, too. Be open. Listen. Apologise, and mean it. We're all imperfect learning machines. But what Atkinson suggests is that comedy should be bullying, that we should all be cowards and just-world fallacy everything. Atkinson is an avowed supporter of the sociopathy room. I have comedians I like—ABK, the McElroys, and others. I value them for being brave enough to be responsible.

[P] This is why my favourite forms of humour are properly handled self-deprecation and slapstick. In such a case, one can be aware of one's limits and that of one's troupe. I'd think that as Mr. Bean, he'd realise that. Oh. He hates Mr. Bean? Of course he does. This is why I still love the Chuckle Brothers, everyone's in on the joke and no one's punching down like a bully. All of my adored comedians get it.
