"What makes you laugh?
People In every part of the world have their own particular sense of humour. A Swedish joke is not necessarily funny in Saudi Arabia and a British joke isn't always funny in Japan. This is because many types of comedy, such as stand-up comedy, satire and TV 'sit-coms'(situation comedies) depend on individual national culture.
Slapstick and cartoons, however, are popular everywere, because they are largely visual. The international success of Charlie Chaplin, Laurel and Hardy, Jim Carrey and cartoons like The Simpsons proces this.
Mr Bean is an example of how slapstick travels easily from one country to another. The first Mr bean television programe appeared în the UK on New Year's Sau în 1990. Eighteen million people watched it. Since then Mr Bean has been seen on TV în ninety-four countries, including Venezuela and Zimbabwe. The programmes have made Rowan Atkinson, the actor who plays Mr Bean, a millionaire."
