Because Bean is nobody. Sandler is one of the most prolific and recognizable comedic actors of all time. He also happens to be recent enough to be near the peak of his relevance. The same can be said about Jim Carrey, the alternative opponent for Charlie Chapman. The connection is biggest comedic actors of the past and present.

Bean is another random fictional character from some random and obscure franchise. Straight from the Wikipedia page: "Mr. Bean is a British television programme series of fifteen 25-minute episodes". And instead of a "legacy" or "cultural impact" section, it lists a grand total of FOURTEEN times the show was referenced in pop culture. I think that it's a step back even from Bill and Ted. The connection is silent slapstick.
