@@jupitorious7925Mr. Bean is brilliant. Rowan is able to make people laugh across cultures whithout saying a single word that is very hard to do. Same cannot be said for Blackadder.
1:02:33 Baldric: “Funny thing is my father was a nun” Blackadder: “No he wasn’t” Baldric: “He was! Every time he was in court the judge would ask him his occupation and he’d say none” 😂😂🤣🤣🤣 Simple play on words but bloody hilarious 🤣 🤣🤣
Blackadder remains my favorite non-dutch comedy show ever. Even now it does not feel outdated at all sure in visuals but not the writing. Certain quotes made it into my everyday life. This show also made me a hugh fan of Stephen Fry.
Yeah, she did. Her first line in the queen sketch is grammatically wrong. And the way she stresses the “r” sounds more like Eastern European than Spanish. (but she’s obviously English) And when she says “just the two of us” she’s using the wrong article. She also says “mama how much I love you” and I’m not quite sure here because back then it might have been correct to call her mom but the Spanish word for mother-in-law is suegra.
Jim Broadbent's accent and Miriam Margolyes's facial expressions were the undoubted stars of the "Soanish Interpreter" sketch. They brought the brilliance of Curtis and Atkinson's writing to life.
Thanks to whoever put this video together. I'm glad they've included the less popular first series of Blackadder. Shame the second series isn't amognst this. Nevermind though, this compilation is brilliant!!!
Im my opinion, the most iconic moment in British comedy is Blackadder and his men going “Over the top” as the final scene!! It portrays the fear of the men so clearly and the comedic sarcasm is pointing a direct finger towards the absurdity of “Fighting for one’s country” at the behest of powerful men with no regard for the people in the trenches! It’s beautifully poignant 😢👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 The Blackadder series “Closed the curtains” in the most incredible way!!! Bravo 👏🏻
Series 3-4 is considered the best one as Blackadder is just slick,cunning and witty. But just for the goody comedy and Atkinson’s manic over the top comic acting and Brian Blessed. I still love Series 1.
42:32 "baldrick what have you done?" "I have done c and d" "oh right, lets have it than" "oh right, big blue wobbly thing that mermaids lives in, sea" "ah yes a tiny misunderstanding but still my hopes weren't high, oh what about d?" "I am pleased with my definition of dog" " yes and your definition of a dog is?" "not a cat" "excellent, excellent" It's probably the funniest I have seen and it's from Blackadder
It's interesting that Baldrick wasn't nearly as stupid in series one as later series...he actually has more brains than Blackadder in this! But who couldn't love Baldrick in any incarnation 😊💞
You cant make any intelligent comedy anymore or no one will understand it. And even worse they'll interpret it wrong and be offended for no reason they can explain.
Imagine first-time viewers who watch this video expecting hilarious comedy, and they get it, but then, at the end, they get that heartbreaking gut punch of a finale. What more can be said but......... "Good luck, everyone." 😢😢
Yes, sure, the witticisms of someone being misunderstood for talking to a ghost no one can see. Very deep, very eccentric. Wait. Whoopi Goldberg did that too.
LIVE: Blackadder 40th Anniversary LIVESTREAM! | BBC Comedy Greats. MEMBERS...on the left. No doubt fully paid up members of ver kwown? Bravo. Amusing. Anyone see the pilot episode last night?
The 4th series was the best followed by the 2nd funny enough that’s the 2 series that Rik Mayall played Lord Flasheart in (Lord Flasheart in 4th series talking about flying planes “always treat your kite like your woman…get inside her 5 times a day and take her to heaven and back”). It’s funny how in the first series that Baldric was the clever one and Blackadder was the idiot (Percy was always an idiot). I have to say Corporal Punishment (2nd episode of 4th series) is my favourite episode where Blackadder kills the General’s pigeon and gets sentenced to death. So many parts of that episode are absolutely classic from the trial to the firing squad coming to see Blackadder and a 22/23yr old Stephen Fry playing a general in his 60’s was done so well. Who would’ve thought that a series set in the trenches of WW1 could be so funny. I grew up in the 80’s and Blackadder was the first grownup comedy show I loved and it’s still my favourite comedy show and has a special place in my heart, maybe because I love history and Blackadder is set in different periods of history it makes it so interesting to me or just the sentimental part of me that remembers being allowed to stay up to half 9 one night and I laughed my head off when King Richard 3rd says “A horse, a horse my kingdom for a horse” then goes to take Blackadder’s horse while he’s having a piss then shouts “that’s my horse” before decapitating King Richard and from then on I was hooked and from then on I was allowed to stay up late to watch Blackadder every week
Always gets me the last 2 scenes of blackadder! Pretty brilliant how they turned one of the best comedies into a serious sad ending. Think they just had to make it serious tbh. Also iv always wondered what was baldricks last ever cunning plan? Maybe this time it was truly cunning 🫡
Have you somehow lost the rights for Blackadder II? Otherwise why would you exclude it from the compilation? I could understand missing some of the specials, but an entire season?
this is brilliant but sady we dont have new comedy coming along like this we are too afraid to offend someone, Blackadder and the Thin blue line both from Ben Elton wonderful.
If you like British humour and want to see some of the best ever footage...of Peter Cook who plays the ghost at the start of this video then search for Peter Cook 12 days of Christmas. It's some of the funniest comedy ever and is not so well known. Enjoy!
I love Blackadder more than the average person, and as a Ricardian, I also love the first season. To think it was Edmund who killed Richard III is absolutely fantastic.

There is a major plot paradox when the B Adder counters the prince's proposal to strip Johnson's britches. If these are not the days of Alfred the Great isn't it illegal what Johnson and his literary friends threaten to do with B Adder?
I know that Mr Bean is very popular. But... Edmund Blackadder in all his incarnations is hands down a superior series. Thank you for posting.
Mr bean was bloody awful and the Johnny English films were terrible...
Mr Bean is mostly for kids though to be fair

cleary you are correct. I have NEVER been able to ''tune-in'' to Beans humour, as it was clearly, intended to attract children's taste.

Simple play on words but bloody hilarious 🤣 🤣🤣
THat final scene with Captain Darling is superb acting, he portrays deep fear superbly.
Tim MCInnerny was the only lead actor who was professionally trained. the other's were comedians who moved to comedy acting
The ending of Blackadder Goes Forth gets me everytime.
"Good luck everyone". 😢😢😢😢
Same
Ending which always silences everyone... What a masterpiece...
That ending was almost going to silence everyone in that scene.
One the most heart-wrenching endings to a series.
💔
YERBUT--since then, I've discovered that they wern't ACTUALLY killed.
I still remember that last scene from the last episode as if it were today. I stood petrified in front of the tv for minutes.
Going over the top always brings me to tears.
There has been no comedy show this good ever since
One of my absolute favourite series of all time, comedy so cleverly written and never gets old!
Blackadder is probably the best show I’ve ever seen.
52:57 Blackadder: “Prince Of Wales wants your daughter Amy for his wife”
The Father: “Tell him his wife can’t have her!” 😂😂😂😂😂
‘……and auntie Ruth and Uncle Isiah. She was a milk maid and he was..’
‘The Pope yes! 😂😂😂😂

Dutch comedy. Interesting concept. 😂
@@randyschwagginscheck something like jiskefet. Arguably the greatest comedy ever produced in the world.
Cheesehead comedy ?
Ja maar... wélke Dutch comedy? Zeg eens Aaa?
Blackadder is my favourite non Portuguese comedy
As a native Spanish speaker, the way the countess spoke was very funny to me 🤣🤣
Did they not do the Spanish talking very well? Was there mistakes being made?
Please elaborate im interested

five quid well spent.
Brilliant 😂

My heartiest contrifibularties to this channel on presenting us this moment of sheer comedic gold with this timeless masterpiece of hilarity.
One of the funniest series ever written. It could only be better if it was full episodes.
That final scene just kills me every time
how come--you weren't there.
Brian Blessed , best actor ever ❤
The ending truly is poetic. We would have loved to see them all make it through, yet part of me can't really see it happening either.
Petty they didn't make it through to the 1960s lol. Not sure how that would've worked though.
You best Believe. 💘
George did. He sustained life long injury to his leg, moved to US and became a doctor.😄
It was a very fitting end.
@@farfaraway4285omg, I love this headcannon…if only Rowan Atkinson had incarnated as Blackadder and been a patient in an episode with Baldrick…😂😂😂
The hand shaped ornaments on Blessed's armor? Subtle and informative.
Goosebumps from head to foot no matter how many times I see that ending. Brilliantly done.
Rowan Atkinson is a comedic genius
Rowan Atkinson is funnier now than ever. Also, Brian Blessed is great in this!
brian truly blessed us all with his acting
The greatest living Doncastrian
Kids these days don't appreciate how much work went into these shows.
No green screens to do all the work.
Real acting and performing, cant beat it
I believe i classify aa a "kid these days" (im 28) and i appreciate it.
Hugh Laurie as the dimwitted Prince Regent in season III cannot be improved on .

I always thought it would have been amazing if they changed personalities per season. Would have killed for suave George and more of tricky baldwin
Great British 🇬🇧 Comedy, long may it reign ….. 😎
Back when the BBC made stuff you wanted to watch
Would have been nice if we had some of Blackadder II in the best of
I know! It's really odd that they left it out.
So odd you could pin a beaver tail to it and call it a platypus.
I preferred Blackadder 2 and 3

one of the best endings of a TV show ever. For a comedy it's tied with Dinosaurs for me.
The final scene gets me every time. They all died for nothing in a war which only started because Archie Duke shot an ostrich because he was hungry.
Best tv show ever
My favorite TV memories from the 80s; Black Adder, Monty Python and Red Dwarf!
Laurel and hardy?
I forgot how good the design was in the first series.
Brian Blessed at his best...
He's good in this but we all know his best was in flash Gordon 😂
Only the mighty BBC could take low comedy like Blackadder and turn it into high art.
What was the cunning plan behind omitting BA II ???
Brilliant actors 👏👏👏👏👏
So wish brian blessed was in the whole series and people dont realise how good tony Robinson was as an actor because of time team
I think no one would refuse a hat like Atkinson's.
the Strongest sentence ever Spoken.. IIIIIIII iiiii Feeelllll Fant Astic.
MY lovely Gertrude and Astrid in memorial.......
Mr Bean is popular overseas because it's mostly visual slapstick. UK audiences appreciate the Blackadder humour because we get it.
Visual slapstick?? We overseas tend to believe it's the dialogue rather than visuals.
Western audiences weren't given the option, hence why Mr Bean was more of the household name
We watched both in Ghana. Must be cos we used to be a British colony @@grimreminder5038
Yes, sure, the witticisms of someone being misunderstood for talking to a ghost no one can see. Very deep, very eccentric.
Wait. Whoopi Goldberg did that too.
Just because you get a joke that doesn't mean you think it's funny.
Why no Blackadrer II? Why did you cut off the last moment of the finale?

JUST SIMPLY THE GREAT !
I’ve gotta say, the Spanish lady has a gorgeous voice.
Miriam Margoyles. A national treasure and a great voiceover performer
Her voice is as sweet as the songbirds of Galveston
I knew that was Gretchen Franklin (Ethel in EastEnders) at about 3:00. The one that says "be not overcome with fear".

Jim Broadbent is a genius
And to think that there's a whole generation of people who think that Hugh Laurie is an American, because they only know him as Dr. House.
To think that BBC News is producing better comedy and better humorists than BBC Drama nowadays.
Who is Blackadder's sidekick around the 4 minute mark ? He's good.
Without this, we in the Balkans would not have Black Gruja😂

Actually Baldrick wasn't an idiot, he was just treated like 1.The creators did say although he wasn't educated, he is the most intelligent one.

We Brits are good at, well not much but comedy is definitely our thing.
I really rate season 1 idk why it’s so unpopular
My favourite
It took me 31 years to get round to seeing season 1! When I did I thought it was just as funny as all the others
The ending of blackadder 4 is always hard to watch :(

Not that terrible. I have the framed picture of the painting with Bean's modifications.
Where's Lord Flash?
First series? Not that great. The rest? Classic! Presumably Ben Elton made the difference.
Thort the first series was the best. Followed by goes forth. The 2nd was the weakest one
What's sad to me is that so many great writers/comedies/bands etc don't get to grow or have a first and then grow to be iconic these days.
