Blackadder

IMHO, the best comedy series ever. The best FOUR comedy series ever, in fact, and it also had a number of one-offs, with many recurring characters, including Baldrick, Percy, George and Melchett. They all go a little something like this:

Series 1: The Black Adder - Set in the late 1400s after the Wars of the Roses. Edmund is the Duke of Edinburgh, Baldrick and Percy are his hangers-on.
Series 2: Blackadder II - Set in Elizabethan times. Edmund is a Lord. Baldrick is his servant, Percy a Lord, and Melchett another very sycophantic Lord.
Series 3: Blackadder the Third - Set in the Regency period. Edmund is Prince George's servant. Baldrick is Blackadder's dogsbody.
Series 4: Blackadder Goes Forth - Set in World War I. Blackadder is an Army Captain. Baldrick is a Private, George a Lieutenant and Melchett a General.

There's also been the one-offs: the pilot episode (never shown in Britain), Blackadder's Christmas Carol, The Cavalier Years and Back and Forth.

My Favourite is the fourth series. Especially Steven Fry's General Melchett:



What's your fave?
Carl B Harrison

Very Happy Have to say I like them all (((But))) Series 4 does crease me when I think of curtain lines in the script, especially when they start running low on rations. Laughing

Ah, Yes. Baldrick's cooking. His coffee is mud, with dandruff for sugar, and saliva for milk. Thankfully he's never had to rummage around for chocolate sprinkles.

His filet mignon in sauce bearnaise are dog turds in glue.

His plum duff is a molehill covered in rabbit droppings.

His cream custard is cat's vomit.

He also does a good line in rat - sautée or fricassée.

I know people with dyslexia who can spell perfectly. You've clearly got mental problems bigger than that, though.
Henry Bates

Take No Crap Jackass just somes you up!

Oddbodd good choice dude. I like all of the Blackadders. Never seen them for year but they are fab! Had to pick 4 but loved 3 as well. They got better every serious.

Loved The Thin Blue Line.

British comedy, there's nothing like it. If it is so rubbish how come the Americans keep copying our series. Look at Man About The House, Robin's Nest and most recently The Office.
Philster

Well said Henry about TNC.

I think BA2 was the best though. Queenie was fantastic. Still liked the rest.

I like both British and American comedy but you said it about the Americans copying our stuff. Thin Blue Line was good.

Old ones are the best.

Think TNC has Dysgraphia if he can't write, as well as being TAF.

u lot have no f*** taste. philster what the f*** are u talken about, disgrapica, TAF, what the. you and oddbodd have got to be the thickest f***s ever followed by hisometer.

henry dont go like them dub f****** i like jackass as it now reminds me of certain a******* on this forum. boy how id like to see sum of the things have to them.
hisomuhito

Well TNC I for one am still waiting to see any sign of intelligence, charm or personallity for that matter. None of those traits are measured by the amount of swear words you can fit into a single sentance. All that proves is that you can add tourette's syndrome to the list of pschological conditions you're obviosuly suffering from.
Have you sort help? I know its difficult but its a lot easier to deal with the problem once you admit you have the problem.

Yeah, that's how I have a diploma, an honours degree, a job worth £23,000 a year, and have won more from pub quizzes in the last few years than I've spent on entry fees. Come back when you have a proper argument.

If having what you've got, despite your allegedly inflated salary (I get the feeling you like to exaggerate the size of things), means I talk like you, then I'm happy where I am, thanks. I think your posts prove that even a rotten rice cracker has more intelligence than you, anyhow.

So why do you talk like him then? Actually from what I've seen thats doing him a disservice, he's actually learned to control his affliction somewhat, you obviously haven't.

Come on TNC amaze us all by telling us what super amazing intellectual job you do. Obviously can't keep you that busy since you spend so much time on the PC.
Philster

Well said Oddbodd even if TNC has a bit of a point about degrees, with no disrespect to another who has them. There are some people that have them and shouldn't which devalues them.

Loads-a-Money
Take No Crap

i dont spend much time infront of a computer. this sight only came up when i was searching for sumthin and thought it was a porn sight. im looking for a good f***, because ive run out of people where i live. this sight is f*** funny and i just p*** with lafter at the a**sholes on forums like hisometer who r trying to get a f*** because they cant get one.
Katie

I agree with philster about some people with degrees, I know of quite a few who have them but when it comes to common sence they haven't got a clue.
Philster

Wolf, TNC reminds be a cross of Loads-A- Money and B***** All Money. Has the money of Loadsa' and the brains of B***** All.

If you've got a masters degree, we need to totally re-evalute the education system. You've probably got one of those mail order ones. What's your master in TNC, bation?

Yep, Katie, it's a shame when decent intelligent people have degrees and others that get them because universities have got to get so many through. It's a disgrace! I know a few like that.

Thats very true. All a degree or a masters proves is that you can spout out enough of the right type of crap to a bunch of academics who probably haven't done any real work ever in their lives. At least thats what my experience of uni was like.

Ok, so it's my loss that I can barely speak English. It's my loss that normal conversation consists of a profanity every two seconds. It's my loss that my only preoccupation seems to be sex with internet personalities that appear to be women. It's my loss that I have all of the social grace of a smelly leprous chimpanzee.

Yeah, my loss. Suppose I'll have to live with it.

Nope, I actually stuck with it because I needed the piece of paper at the end of it to get into the career I was after. Didn't actualy learn much more that I didn't already know but I wouldn't have been able to get my foot in the door without a degree.
Katie

I couldnt afford to go to uni, I just had to start at the bottom as a student nurse and work my way up. A lot of hard work but I got there in the end. Very Happy
hisomuhito

Oh dear, now you've done it. Everyone will be wanting to see you in your nurses outfit! It'll be the costume conversation all over again..
Katie

Dont think what we wear now is much of a turn on Exclamation
oddbodd

I think we should be the judge of that.
Katie

Go to any hospital.. think you might be suprised its a long time since we had little white dresses Wink

Henry Bates

With the Harry Enfield characters Bug*** All Brains comes to mind with TNC.

I had to work hard for my degree to. I worked nights and weekends as well as studying. It amazed me on how some of my classmates got through it, because they were so thick. The education system is a joke in this country now.

By the way TNC if you havent worked out the Master in Bation you must really be thick. Think of the joke Wolf said about my name. Master Bates.

Think about it without your brain exploding!

It was a joke referring to an adult film called Star Virgin. There was a character called the Mechanical Masterbater. Dumba**
