Considering the DVDs and VHS releases of Bean all have a U rating, the fact that Nickelodeon still decided to edit it says something about how strict they were... Especially when you look at the content of some of Nickelodeon's own cartoons like Ren & Stimpy and Rocko which had worse things than were ever in Mr Bean.

I think because Mr. Bean was live-action as opposed to animated it was thought that kids were more likely to copy situations that looked real, hence the edits.

That rating needs looked at because a lot of parts of Mr. Bean are not suitable for kids.
