Rowan Atkinson's videos

This resource includes primary and/or secondary research. Learn more about original research at Wikiversity.

This article in part supports the A human as multiple persons article, which points out to Rowan Atkinson's remarkable ability to play very different personalities. One can learn more about the variety of this ability by watching the videos listed. The educational tactic employed is to use hedonism (search for pleasure and enjoyment) and pack in educational objectives; this tactic was used in Comenius' Orbis Pictus picture dictionary with great success.

Some questions the reader can ask as a small analytical exercise:

  • Which three different personalities from the videos can be named such that they present the greatest marked difference in played personalities?
  • Which personalities have marked pronunciation peculiarities? What are those peculiarities?
  • What speech mannerisms or patterns of speech characteristic of certain kinds of speakers or professions can one identify in various scenes?
