Blackadder and Platoon. In a single sketch. I woke up this morning not knowing that somewhere in england someone had managed to parody my two childhood loves at once. I will go to bed a happier person. Thank you gem85precious.
As Time Goes By was an extremely gentle sitcom that could quite easily be labelled as unfunny....so they're saying as a joke that As Time Goes By isn't meant to be funny in the first place and that that's the show's defence and excuse for it's alleged unfunniness.
8:11 - "Right," said Rob, "All in this together!" "Let's kill Digby, make the bunny cry!" Couldn't fight it, then they tried to write it They was getting nowhere! And so we had a cup of t- NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
8 years late but yes, it's a direct reference to, towards the end of the film "Platoon", where [SPOILER] the good guy goes down like that to that music .. in 1986 now I check. So now a 34 year old reference. Wow where does the time go!
@@FallNorth Appreciate the response, 8 years or not! I hadnt actually seen Platoon by the point i commented, i'd heard it during one of the early missions in the game Homeworld (though that version was voices). I have since seen Platoon (great film) and re-watching this video its very clear :)
@@Mickkey117 If you like that there is a second similar Adagio piece. I love them both and I often get them confused! There is this one (Adagio by Barber) and another that I think I might prefer by a composer callled Albinoni. Lots of versions on YT. (Or other way round in case I mixed them up ... again :)). Adagio just apparently means "slow" so a few of them around.
@@FallNorth Had to go check it out, but i have indeed heard it! Its another lovely piece, but i think Barber's Adagio holds #1 for me due to the emotional setting in which i first heard it (you should check out the clip where its played, if you can find it, on Homeworld, one of the first missions, "Kharak is burning".)
damn the popup skit would have been good if they carried it on to each next user, implying as long as the popup exists nobody has taken it, the offer is still there, they ruined it :(
Reasonable minds can disagree, but it's pretty funny to imagine that all those "YOU'RE THE MILLIONTH VISITOR" pop-ups are actually precisely accurate and entirely in earnest. Also that massive yachts are being scuttled around the globe in astounding numbers. Also, is the "MASSIVE YACHT" thing one of those UK- or Europe-specific cultural differences? I've seen lots of pop-ups (or did, before adblockers) in NA advertising cash prizes or electronics or the like, but never a yacht, let alone a massive one. I wonder what the implications are?
@iamnicompoop He didn't write it for the movie platoon they just used it for the film. Which is ironic because it was originally composed as a chorale "agnus dei", which means "lamb of god" and it's a film about war which is hardly inherently christian (in principle at least).
Blackadder goes Fourth was the ONE instance of the sudden-sad-bit-at-the-end where it wasn't tacked on or mawkish. The episode was tense and sad throughout, and had been building up to it. In fact the whole of the series had been building up their inevitable deaths. In that particular case (Blackadder 4) the sad bit was not tacked-on, but the whole point. That moment was the whole reason the show was set in the First World War. Sorry, just... Blackadder is a poor example for that sketch.
google - "what's the definition of a beautiful woman that would stand the test of time, throughout ages, and dreams and fantasies ?"...... your question is abiguous, but we'd recommend Sarah Hadland as a starting point in our algorithm, as posed in the above vid at 4:55, with all her womanly charm and wank material........
I don't understand why people in tele think the end of Blackadder forth was some kind of homage to ww1. Rubbish! I watch it every week and never get that homage part. Its funny to me!
The MASSIVE YACHTS sketch makes me laugh every time 🤣
A criticism: The portholes are incorrectly installed: No wonder they wanted to give it away.
"I really must watch the young ones before one of them dies" RIP Rik Mayall!
Was just about to comment that. Still can't believe we lost him

FYI, they DID do "something like that" as a tribute to the ending of Blackadder Goes Fourth in the Sherlock Holmes dymentia sketch.
*dementia
Yes... I saw that yesterday, it was quite touching. Helps to see that bit to understand what they where doing.
here it is th-cam.com/video/Pp02ubGuTIU/w-d-xo.html
That's the joke
That Blackadder bit was fantastic!
"Nothing will stop the Dave guy - he doesn't give a shit" :D
Wow, brilliant that they actually closed the series with the Holmes sketch (saw that one before the Black Adder one here).
"who wouldn't want A MASSIVE YACHT?"
"Kill off Adric, run the credits over silence." Earthshock, fourth episode, Doctor Who Peter Davison. I AM NERD INCARNATE!
Brilliant episode, I hated Adric. Why the hell am I replying to a decade old comment.
And then they ended on sherlock... Foreshadowing!
Is it just me or does David's glasses in the nightclub sketch make him look even more attractive than normal?
The nightclub sketch is so bang on. Except in The Social Network, they did it well there
Same! I wasn't expecting the Earthshock Reference!
"kill off adric" I do enjoy references to classic series dr who.
RIP Rik
“the _As Time Goes By_ defense”
I love that show but YIKES 😂😂😂
As soon as this episode is over, I will start watching the blackadder DVD box set.
@villa72 I want to like this a THOUSAND TIMES. (I was on the verge of tears when I first saw that, even knowing that he died in the episode).
Comedic gold!
Mitchel and Webb have got better as the years have gone by. i think the new stuff is more like the old stuff they used to do on radio 4.
The pop-up sketch really reminds me of the internet in the early 2000s.
... scuttle the MASSIVE YACHT.
I like the foreshadowing between this and how they really ended up ending the series.
thats so amazing
love the doctor who reference. :D
Oh, trance. So deceptively quiet-sounding until you open your mouth...
9:00
It explains the Sherlock sketch at the end of the show
Kill off Adric, scroll the credits in silence - love the reference.
@PolarisHorizon Thanks!
gem85precious I wish to thank you with a MASSIVE YACHT!
"Million and oneth customer" 😂
Robb looks good in sunglasses :P
Tea lady: “sorry there’s a 5 minute wait for more tea. “ M and W: slow motion agony to Barber’s Adagio. Brilliant
4:28 looks like webb is in the same costume for the post event quiz broadcast
soldiers did empty their latrines into no mans land so there was poo
That was an awfully specific answer to the question about his journey
As a huge fan of blackadder I aprove those jokes!
They should have done a joke about canned-laughter tracks on BBC comedy shows. That would have been weird.
Whats the name of that song playing in the club?

Couldn't fight it, then they tried to write it
They was getting nowhere!

Are the three brothers with their massive yacht based on the Cheerybles in Nicholas Nickleby?
Adagio for strings at 9:05!?? Love that piece.

@kazjoy40 adagio for strings. its quite famous.
I want a MASSIVE YACHT.

There was no poo in no man's land, nor barbed wire.
Apparently there was a mushroom field with blobs of ice cream.
That belonged to the guy that made the map
I don't seem to recall quite so many elephants
What’s the song at the start of the video, the one on piano
Ooooh, that Sarah Hadland....
Who'd notice another mad man around here?
What’s so bad about Mannheim Steamroller?
I dont want a massive yacht.
Anyone know the song that starts at 9:02?
Grim Dellsén 9 years late but It’s Adagio For Strings.

Didn't they end "Remain indoors" sketches on super depressive non-joky joke?
There was lots of poo in no man's land.
English smosh?
Doesn't have to be MS, just people and their relationships and their disgusting problems like we give a shit or something
1st clip, is that Anders Breivik?
Their last skit was sooooo sad. And I almost cried. ALMOST cuz I’m not a pussy.
Yes, yes, your fragile toxic masculinity impresses us all.
i think pretty much all english comedians see Stephen Fry as their hero, along with monty python
SOD CANCER!
They must have already shot the final Sherlock sketch when they made this
Well the young ones joke didn't age very well, RIP Rik Mayall
It was ten years ago.
You really should stop stealing their content.

The last two sketches on this particular 10-minute part- have they employed some sort of child to write for them?

I thought the ending was very moving. The writers did a good job choosing that ending.
