Mr. Bean
Play, without a word. The joke is selfishness, and it stays a joke.
Bean wants a small comfort and will overturn a room to get it. The laugh is that he deserves the overturn. There is no moral lecture and no filth, which makes it a rare thing you can put on across ages. Do not let a child think the method works. The method never works. That is the joke.

Truth

A form children and adults can share, with nothing rotten in it.
Live historicallyWatch one. Then do a simple task the simple way, which is the ending Bean never reaches.
