blackadder

Im old!!!!) Blackadder S4 is truly an awesome comedy series.

I have no idea whom Hugh Laurie is, but Blackadder is absolutely brilliant.

It follows the Blackadder family over many generations.

Don't get me wrong: I do think Blackadder is brilliant!

While he has done a great number of videos you could probably make commercial use of (the GNU one should be primetime), you couldn't include Jeeves and Wooster, Blackadder and Fry & Laurie.

Any institution that has given us the ending of Blackadder Goes Forth (the best 90 seconds of television ever filmed), Top Gear, Red Dwarf, Blake's 7 and The New Statesman and Sherlock just cannot do much wrong in my opinion.

Captain Blackadder: Do you mean "How did the war start?" Lieutenant George: The war started because of the vile Hun and his villainous empire- building.

In the words of Edmund Blackadder describing Johnson's dictionary, it is the most pointless book since "How to learn French" was translated into Fresh.

This situation was used to great comedic effect in "Blackadder's Christmas Carol".

"Blackadder" is a very different beast from the others mentioned, all of which are written / cowritten by Graham Linehan, who has a very specific surrealist style.

Dunno if this will mean much to you, but have you ever seen the UK comedy Blackadder?

Captain Blackadder: I think you mean it started when the Archduke of Austro-Hungary got shot.

Sir Walter Raleigh - all I can think of is the actor who played him in Blackadder...
