I have a vague memory of seeing a series of comedy clips, on HBO or maybe showtime, featuring a nerdy and awkward Mr. Bean-esque character.
One I remember particularly well involves Our Hero in a drag race. His opponent has a top-of-the-line dragster while Our Hero’s car is little more than a go-cart. The race begins and, not unexpectedly, the drag racer takes off while Our Hero putters down the track. The drag racer pulls over and chats it up with a hot woman for a while. After a while, you see Our Hero putter by in the background. The drag racer, realizing he’d better get back to the race, attempts to start his car, but it won’t start. After many attempts, it finally starts, and he floors it, only to be beaten to the finish line by Our Hero, by a fraction of a second.
Anyone familiar with what I’m talking about?
