- Johnny English is a MI7 Intelligence who was like a parody of James Bond meets Austin Powers in his first Bean spy movie comedy. He is played by Rowan Atkinson.
- Johnny English is a film about the eponymous Clueless Detective-style Idiot Hero and his semi-Butt Monkey Hypercompetent Sidekick Bough and their adventures working for MI7. They form a unique team similar to the Straight Man and Wise Guy, only with levels of competence instead of seriousness. Oftentimes Johnny's juggling act with the Idiot Ball gets Bough, himself, or both of them, into troublesome or injurious situations, causing hilarity or reality to ensue. A sequel, Johnny English Reborn, was released in 2011.
- Although very little is known about "English" as he was called, he did enter the public stage very abruptly during the 2003 botched coronation of Sauvage, and due to a mistake on his part was publicly humiliated at the event. However, English triumphed when a last ditch attempt to stop the crowning took place as he swung from the rails in an attempt to grab the crown before it was placed on Sauvage's head. According to The Times, which insisted it didn't make up the name, English was knighted at his request and returned to active duty as soon as the entire affair was over.

- Johnny English is a MI7 Intelligence who was like a parody of James Bond meets Austin Powers in his first Bean spy movie comedy. He is played by Rowan Atkinson.
- Although very little is known about "English" as he was called, he did enter the public stage very abruptly during the 2003 botched coronation of Sauvage, and due to a mistake on his part was publicly humiliated at the event. However, English triumphed when a last ditch attempt to stop the crowning took place as he swung from the rails in an attempt to grab the crown before it was placed on Sauvage's head. Image:Je3.jpg By freak incident English fell into the space that should have been occupied by Sauvage as the crown fell and English was crowned king. Of course English surrendered his new powers back to the Queen within the hour, but made sure that Sauvage was severely punished. According to The Times, which insisted it didn't make up the name, English was knighted at his request and returned to active duty as soon as the entire affair was over.
- Johnny English is a film about the eponymous Clueless Detective-style Idiot Hero and his semi-Butt Monkey Hypercompetent Sidekick Bough and their adventures working for MI7. They form a unique team similar to the Straight Man and Wise Guy, only with levels of competence instead of seriousness. Oftentimes Johnny's juggling act with the Idiot Ball gets Bough, himself, or both of them, into troublesome or injurious situations, causing hilarity or reality to ensue. The movie is considered an Affectionate Parody of the spy movie genre, oftentimes hanging lampshades on several popular spy tropes, from Disposable Love Interest characters to the protagonist being an overwhelmingly confident and suave Badass. It features a hearty plateful of the Rule of Funny, a nice smattering of Slapstick, at least a gallon jug's worth of Genre Savvy, and even a light pinch of Self-Deprecation. And Rowan Atkinson. The plot is mainly focused around Johnny's attempts at rescuing Britain from the evil schemes of Corrupt Corporate Executive Big Bad Pascal Sauvage. Sauvage has set in motion a complex Plan, starting with the assassinations of all the spies in Britain with a bomb planted at a funeral. Fortunately, Johnny was a safe distance away, so now he finds himself promoted from a cheap low level agent to Designated Hero! Johnny soon finds himself drawn into Sauvage's scheme and vows to try and stop it, though he doesn't necessarily end up achieving a huge amount in the end via his own personal effort alone. A sequel, Johnny English Reborn, was released in 2011. The idea for the movie came from Atkinson's Barclaycard commercials from the 1990's about the misadventures of a (slightly) more competent, somewhat smug agent Richard Latham who scoffed at his Hypercompetent Sidekick Boff when the latter invariably solved each problem using his Barclaycard. About the only thing it has in common with the movies is that both characters worked for the fictional MI7 and are played by Rowan Atkinson. You can watch them here. For similar spy parody movie, see The Pink Panther. For a few with slightly more risque flavor, see Spy Hard and Austin Powers. For a more World War II flavored alternative, see Top Secret.
