So don't watch it.
I'm not a big fan of comedy in general, but I am an adult human who is capable of hitting the channel change button if it comes on, or leaving a conversation about it.

Truly have never understood this knee jerk reaction people have to criticism. It's a healthy part of civil discourse. I'm not only interested in seeing everyone's praise.
'I wish this thing that other people enjoy would die, even though it doesn't impact my life at all' is not a healthy part of civil discourse.
[edit] The thing is that I actually agree with the parent: I can't stand Mr Bean - it makes me physically cringe. But I recognise that other people are fans, so I'm happy to just shut up and let them have their fun.
I interpreted your post though to be a general sentiment that we shouldn't even voice negative opinions, even if they are done so politely. I certainly wouldn't agree with that perspective. As someone who is rather neutral to British humor, I enjoy seeing both positive and negative conversation around the subject.
