The Blackadder appreciation thread.

Not sure if it has been posted yet but:

[Oh Teh Noes]

4 > 3 > 2 > 1 imo. Not that I've seen 1, 2 or 3 for a while.

[Pedz]

For me 2 = 4 > 3 > 1.

[rinks]

2 > 3 > 1 = 4

[Jazzem]

4>3>2>1

All are great, though 1 is definitely a bit misguided at times. Whenever interviewed the crew talk about 1 as if it was an absolute disaster; it's still better than most stuff on TV!

"Baldrick, you wouldn't know a subtle plan if it painted itself purple and danced naked on a harpsichord singing 'Subtle plans are here again!'

'Dunny on the wold... Population: Three rather mangy cows, a daschund called Colin and a small hen....in its late forties!'


Class. Utter Class!

Don't even get me started on the similes.

That would be the worst idea since How To Speak French... was translated into French.

[~Earl Grey~]

Blackadder; Is this the home of the wise woman?
Old crone; That it be , that it be
Blackadder; Yes it is, not that it be, I'm not a tourist
Old Crone;Two things ye should know about the wise woman, first she is wise, second she is...
Blackadder; A woman?
Old crone; So you do know her then?
Blackadder; Just a wild stab in the dark, which is what youll be getting if you dont tell me where she is...

It's Young Crone. And his initial question is "Is this Putney". And she says "a woman" first, only for Blackadder to say "wise".

She's got a tongue like an electric eel and she likes the taste of a man's tonsils.

I've got a plan as hot as my PANTS

Flasheart: Well this isn't a worthwhile use of my time and resources but I'm gonna do it anyway.

Darling: What?

Flasheart: This!
