Mr Bean Learns the Alphabet

Egyptian Sinaitic Canaanite Phoenician Greek Etruscan Latin

Mr Bean sits at a long classroom desk, writing successive forms of a symbol from Egyptian hieroglyphs through Sinaitic, Canaanite, Phoenician, Greek and Etruscan to Latin.

It is used as a reaction to someone explaining something simple in excessive detail.
