Of course, Samuel Johnson published his dictionary in 1755, during the reign of George II, before Prinny was even born. It's a terrific episode, but that fact bugs the heck out of me every time I see it.

Dictionary Two, the Return of the Killer Dictionary is one of Dr. Johnson's underrated works.

Some of the funniest comedic writing and acting in television history.

Beautifully written comedy 🙂

For those that don't know. The 2nd book was Blackadders' novel. 😂

Sausage!!!!!! 😂😂

Is “contrafibularities” a real word?

brilliant

Interfrastically. ☮

Crammed with sizzling gypsies.

Hagrid ❤

Not staying for your pendigestatery interludicule?

Defenestration - The act of throwing someone out of a window, it was apparently so popular that we needed a word for it here in England!

I wonder how many takes they needed. 😅

Now I can enjoy my sausages. 😅

A time, when comedy was real.

I may be as thick as a whale omelet … 😂 My favorite scene from all 4 seasons.

too clever clever

IT SOUNDS DAMN SAUCY TO ME

These three great actors are a joy to watch.

when House, Hagrid and Mr Bean get to meet lol

What I find so glorious about this scene is the word 'contrafibularities' If you break that down, it would mean 'a pluralised contradiction of your achievement by telling a fib' - which is absolutely the correct usage for a word which does not exist!

Confabulation is a neuropsychiatric disorder that causes people to create false memories without intending to deceive others. The memories can be distorted, misinterpreted, or fabricated, and can be about oneself or the world. People with confabulation believe their memories are true, which is why it's sometimes called "honest lying"

CLASS ! Blackadder brilliant show 👍 RIP Robbie you were brilliant in that sketch.

1:44 - "dago talk" was a slang term used from the 18th century, which was a derogatory term used to mean how Italian or Spanish people talked "nonsense".

"A sausage...? A SAUSAGE?!"

I love how George says "damned cold day" as if he'd actually been outside that day...

One wonders if the Urbam Dictionary was Blackadders doing.

Once upon a time there was a lovely little sausage called Baldrick, and he lived happily ever after.

Sausage? SAUSAGE???!!! I remember watching Blackadder with my brother for the first time as a kid and both of us bursting into uncontrollable laughter when that came up. Good times.

Blackadder’s mockery is so smooth and savage.

Such a great sketch

SAUSAGE?! Coltrane was also Hagrid in the Harry Potter films. Great actor.

I love this skit. English is simply the language spoken by the English people.... not what Samuel Johnson decreed it is.

Apart from the absolute comedy genius I always think the costumes were beautiful too. Absolutely spot on and the sets.

I recently read the first part of the female Quixote, and am waiting for my library to get the second edition in, and it’s fascinating!

My dad and I have always said that we will return interfrastically for over 40 years now! To the point where our entire extended family just accept it as a common expression, my eight year old daughter even uses it. If a comedy script has a throw away line that can last three generations it's proof positive that the writing was incredible

Some might recall that is was Lord Chesterfield who applauded Dr. Johnson's Dictionary when it was done after 10 years work, and Chesterfield tried to take credit for being Johnson's ''patron'' over that ten years, when in fact he had not contributed even a farthing toward Johnson's expenses

House, Hagrid and Mr Bean in one scene. Fabulous.

A classic scene - brilliantly acted, briliant timng. From Blackadder's first interjection: 'every single one, sir?', it's comedy gold.

Oh lawd. The _mob_ is the only 'character' guaranteed to be "high-strung", "unreliable", and "ill-educated". Terry Pratchett suggested that the intelligence of a crowd is roughly related to the square-root of the number of its members. A clever metric, but clearly too generous. This might be overly simplistic, as well, but I'd hazard: ∝ 2 - sqrt(n) where n = number in crowd. Case-in-point, the events described here - as Clive apparently "seems to suggest" in her "retort in form", so-to-speak, and you further elaborate on. 👍 Thanks for the interesting bit of historical information!

"Once upon a time, there was a little sausage called baldrick" sausage? SAAWSAAGE!!

I use thick as a whale omelet as staple criticism

I shall return interfrastically 😂😂😂😂😂

One of the best written comedy scenes ever. 😂😢😅😊

My enthusiastic contrafibularities 😅

This is the tippety top of the mountain. The cream of the comedy crop. Crammed with sizzling gypsies

Fabulous!

BRILLIANT 😂
