Anyone aware of the Pink Panther movies is aware that I am being glib here. Johnny English is not really a good Inspector or whatever he calls himself (more like secret agent ... but very very secret). And while Clouseau actually had some qualities, English seems derived of them.
What I am saying is, don't hold that comparison over my head. I just think they are both funny. It had been a while since I last saw this and I haven't seen the newest output yet (2018). But it was fun being reminded of how funny Rowan Atkinson can be (you may know him as Mr. Bean). There are jokes that I feel are missplaced (like poo jokes, though they did work with my nephew so who am I to judge) - one of the grossest offense being English inappropriately touching women throughout. While it is meant as fun and his overall quirkyness, they can be seen as very wrong too ... I'll leave that up to you ...
