Random

From castles, and Barons, romances and “Buenos Ayres” we jump to necked ladies and monkey lovers. That’s random. “They found that the cries came from two naked girls who were tripping along the edge of the meadow, while two monkeys followed them nibbling their buttocks.” (pg. 69) Candide feels guilty about killing already three people, and thinks that if he kills the monkeys he would safe the ladies. But he actually killed the lovers of the ladies! Everything turns upside down. This reminded me of Mr. Bean, i hate that series, and i don’t like that kind of humor, but for Mr. Bean, everything he does ends up happening the opposite of what is expected. For Candide, after killing the monkeys, “during the night they had been tied to a tree with ropes of pith by the Orneillons, the inhabitants of the country, to whom the two ladies had denounced them.” (pg. 70) Those are the kinds of things that happen only to Mr. Bean, in other context though. Mr. Bean things are explicitly funny, they are supposed to go wrong and for Candide, theya re not supposed to go wrong, but they do. In this clip, Mr. Bean is trying to entertain a boy, but everything he does is messed up and he ends up being all screwed and indeed he entertains the boy, but its all exaggerated and random as well.
