"My father was a nun" is one of the most underrated jokes ever.
i dont know 'ive coveted my Father's adultery' is right up there
"I heard that it started when a bloke called Archie Duke shot an Ostrich cause he was Hungry". That is the only reason I will ever accept why WW1 started.
Same here. Obviously.
The truth is even stranger
I only wished that I could write that as an answer to the question on a high school history exam on what started WWI. It would be worth missing the question just for the laugh.
Is there another reason 🤔
Blackadder's explanation is really the most accurate "it was just too much effort not to have a war".
Baldrick has been with Blackadder's family for generations, 'like syphilis' as Blackadder said.
"So has syphilis, now get out"
Since 1532
"By a thousand to one chance my willy got in the way."
I'm laughing so much I'm properly crying 🤣
“I heard it started when a bloke called Archie Duke shot an ostrich ‘cause he was hungry.”
Best history joke I’be ever heard; thanks Baldrick for your comical relief
The fact that the Baldrick lineage is around in all these eras means that they all must’ve reproduced
Even Baldrick?
@@ethanguest3438 yeah they're even in the distant future so they must have survived WW1
The real question is what with? 😂
@@spartan2451 Not who but, what? Is his standards that low?
Edit: Yeah probably.
@@spartan2451
Baldricka..? 😳
Playing character like Boldrick requires immense understanding of the character and keeping poker face in all the scenes and doing all this in front of Rowan Atkinson must have been very difficult
Sit Tony Robinson waa always perfect. In all his documentaries and don't forget he created and wrote Maid Marian and her Merry Men before Blackadder ended!
Blackadder: and your definition of dog is?
Baldrick: uhh... not a cat! Epic humour
"Big blue wobbly thing, that mermaids live in." 😆
I love you Dr Johnson, and I want to have your babies
@@legionarybooks13 c.....
Black Adder was brilliant. Fascinating to see how the wobbly first series, where Black Adder was a loser, was transformed into Black Adder being a cynical schemer.
I love him in the 2nd one.
Yep, bringing in Ben Elton as a writer for series 2 was a master stroke……..
1st series is the best, Blackadder was perfect in that.
I think as his family drops in status there forced to become more cunning
He is one of the best TV side kicks of all time; in the same league as Barney Fife.
"In you go. Little boy with big job to do!" 😂
I always found it interesting that in Series One (which doesn't get nearly enough love), Baldrick was the smart one!
Yep. As Blackadder got smarter, Baldrick became dumber.
@Greg Elchert I saw it once (it might have been on UA-cam at the time). It wasn't bad, though having different actors for King Richard and Baldrick was a bit jarring. I always found it a shame that Brian Blessed never returned to any of the later series, even in a cameo.
The incest started after that I'm afraid
@@legionarybooks13 Brian Blessed, oh my! That incredible voice and presence. When I need to see lots of Brian Blessed, I watch, “I, Claudius”. “Quinctilius Varus, where are my legions?” Or Eagles - it depends on which source. He has the best developed chest resonator. I could only dream of using my chest resonator like that. (Sorry, retired Shakespearian actor).
The first series was utterly forgettable; what saved it is removing Rowan Atkinson as a writer and replacing him with Ben Elton.
Greatest group of actors in a single sit-com ever.
They were helped by the amazing writing
@@zapkvr0101 Still had to deliver it. And they are indeed the Best.
@@Leon-bc8hmhad some idiot the other day try to tell me Fawlty towers was funny
@@zapkvr That's a common reaction in the southern US, where a language barrier is quite apparent.
“I have not honored my neighbor’s ass” is such an underrated line.
"Belts off trousers down isn't life a scream ugh" 😂😂
Capt darling and I are right behind you . " About 35 miles right behind you " ...
"Bury me in a Y-shaped coffin" - Jane
"everything goes over your head doesn't it! You should go to Jamaica and become a limbo dancer!"🤣🤣🤣
"We didn't receive any messages and Captain Blackadder definitely did not shoot this delicious plump-breasted pigeon Sir!"
"What?!"
"Do you want to be cremated, Baldrick, or buried at sea?"
Speckled Jim 😢
There was once a lovely little sausage called Baldrick, and he lived happily ever after.
I liked series 4 Baldrick best, he was still a bumbling idiot, but he was a more thoughtful, philosophical and inquiring iteration, which makes sense for the time it's set in, when people were beginning to question why the system had to be the way it was
Aw... I was looking forward to the conclusion of the legends told about Archie Duke and the poor old ostrich
It was bollocks.
I thought the war started because a bloke called Archie Duke shot an Ostrich because he was hungry.
in heaven, the mechanics are german, the chefs italian, the lovers french, the comedians british and the government swiss. in hell the mechanics are french, the chefs british, the lovers swiss, the comedians german and the government italian.
I love that song 'Whoops Mrs Miggins you're sitting on my artichokes'! I know all 37 verses! 😁
The rise and fall of Baldrick through the centuries
I have a theory that, to repent for being complicit to poisoning his master, him and all his descendants' neurons go to the nearest Blackadder for all eternity.
That or they thought he was funnier this way.
In the early 90s, I saw the episode, for the first time, where Baldrick (mis)defines "C" as "Big, blue wobbly thing that mermaids live in!"
I've always remembered that line. Other quotes from other shows kinda fade over time, some get mixed up with others and some just disappear from memory altogether! However, the 'Big, blue wobbly thing that mermaids live in,' has always remained a perfectly clear and wonderfully funny memory for me.
RIP Robbie Coltrane (Dr Johnson)
Àn excellently written character in am excellent series, deliver by a brilliant actor surrounded by brilliant actors.
His large splinter idea breaks me everytime.
What is really impressive here is the job done on upconverting the original PAL video. Kudos to the engineering team!
Love Tony Robinson 💙 . All the cast have all been wonderfully successful ✨️.
Jane 'bury me in a Y shaped coffin' Harrington. 😂
"You'll get over her...
I did.
...So did Baldrick, actually."
@@willmfrank 🤣😂 quality 👍
I still use that burn to this day
I really hope Blackadder will return - maybe for that one set in the ‘60s they were thinking of but never went ahead with.
With "Bald Rick" the drummer! Yes, it would be fantastic if they did, but unfortunately it's probably wishful thinking on our part. You never know though...
Probably takes place during the Profumo sex scandal of that time.
That would be amazing!
i learned the best insults from blackadder
I ❤ Baldrick 😝
The only decent impression Baldrick can do is of man with no talent. British humor at its peak.
My personal favorite is
Edmund to Percy: "You ride a horse rather less well than another horse would."
@rajan lad
Your impression is much better.
"35 miles behind of you"
Rowan Atkinson's barber was top tier.
Love a brilliant bit of Blackadder!
"I feel fantastic !" - Gorgeous Georgina
It’s ironic how in the first series Baldrick is the smart one and Blackadder is the pillock
Fun piece of trivia: in season four only The coffee is hot mud was in The script rest of it came from The actor who played captain darling who just kept telling what sugar and milk are 😄
Black Adder is brilliant.
"Wibble, wibble.."
Daft? Baldrick made the cunningest of plans!
"I've written my name on this bullet. They say there's a bullet with your name on it so I figured if I owned that bullet I wouldn't be shot by it. The chance of there being two bullets with my name them is very small indeed."
As cunning as a fox who's been made Professor of Cunning at Oxford University.
@@CheapBastard1988 "That's not hte only thing small around here".
I'm still really hopeful that we'll get a revival of Blackadder. Maybe one last grand finale show?
Edmund Plantagenet AKA the Black Adder. Most influential dynasty in human history.
the irony is that the British Army was actually quite well supplied during the first world war
Problem was getting the supplies to the front.
Sometimes fresh troops and supplies would be shelled to smithereens on the way there and of course there were momentary shortages as it dragged on.
So well supplied British soldiers would commonly eat fried lice
For all Americans who don't know who WG Grace is, he is known as the father of modern cricket, which is a sport quite unlike baseball
He’s also the guy who served as God's image in Monty Python
Absolutely excellent selection!
The dream sequence was done better than some serious shows well if you can call Dallas serious
I always enjoyed the way Baldrics intelligence seemed to decline with each passing series
When ever I'm feeling down I open UA-cam and watch Blackadder. It always makes me feel better.
This is Timeless
WONDFRFULL ...THANK YOU SO MUCH ....LOVE AND HAHAS FROM MONTREAL CANADA
The Great Blackader.
"Permission to speak... Answer the General, Baldrick."
"I can't answer him, Sir, I dunno what he's talking about."
RIP Robbie Coltrane.
Season 3 and 4 are my favourites....1 wasn't much, the charactors were wrongly played, 2 was pretty good but it really took off with 3 and peaked with 4.....great written comedy at its best.....
I always preferred season 2. Particularly the baby-eating bishop of Bath and Wells, and the first time seeing “Bob”. Even the very first conversation of the series, when Kate (Bob) is talking to her father and he wants her to go on the game, is brilliant!
@@steves1015 ah yes BOB
I love Tony!
There's rumors for a return, please let it be true lol
That would be amazing! We should get a petition going, we could do with a laugh in these awful times!
Would it be amazing though? Unless they do it online or something it will watered down, cant offend anyone god forbid.
Blackadder takes the Fifth?
Nah, it wouldn't be any good. Careful what you wish for.
@@MrBigbobsbeans honestly that's the only thing I feel reluctance with, because as you said this offended world we live on can't take a joke.
"But I'll die in there!"
You saved the best to last 😂😂
In fact I've been using my dandruff,instead of sugar,sir
🤣🤣🤣
The Vomiting Cavalier
Wonder why they included snippets of Baldrick from the first season in this? He was intelligent in that.
I love tony
"Slugs are always a problem." How often does George deal with slugs? Lol
Lord Percy 😂
the actor who burned to death was so good
Frank Finlay, one of our greatest. He is sorely missed. ❤
I had to get a screen capture of the first time Baldrick states he's got a cunning plan.
Legends
Blackadder: Dud you get C.
Baldrick: big blue wobbly thing that mermaids live in..
"Bury me in a Y-shaped coffin"
More baldrick yeah
"in the Amazonian rainforest there are tribes of Indians as yet untouched by civilization that have developed more convincing Charlie Chaplin impressions than you"
There have never been a more hilariously witty statement in sitcom.
Love black adder....
Blackadder III was particularly cunning.
And the poor old ostrich died for nothing.
Lucky willy🤣🤣🤣
Back when the BBC has quality TV and credibility
Thanks youtube for enjoying these otherwise lost moments of bawdy English humour!
Nice
Oh yeah yeah
Inspired😂😅🎉😮❤😢
“Not a cat” 😸
Classic Comedy
My fave cunning plan is the plan to make money in cock-fighting by finding a bird that's a dead cert but has odds of 500 to 1 against...
the cunningest bit is that it's a bull
Mr. Blutarsky But it's such an odd-looking bird no-one will back it except for us...
(That plan runs on pure Goon Show logic, which is why I love it so much!)
Deny every Bouldrick. Are you private Bouldrick? No!
Baldrick in the first season was the best
A great BIG turnip in the country.
Boom boom boom boom. Boom boom boom. Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom.
♥️
‘Balrick in the Amazonian rainforests there are tribes of Indians as yet untouched by civilisation who have developed more convincing Charlie Chaplin impressions than yours’
Worlds biggest turnip , what a grate xmas treat
Baldrick... Aka Keith Moon in that image.
25:18 how to complicate a question of how the war started
"I can see it now, A Nun and a Hun", truly complimentary to the bestial foe across the sea and trenches 😂
"Death by snusnu!"
Returns never ever work. They cannot recapture the original .
Agreed
"Not a cat"
Shot an Ostrich because he was hungry 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Too bad the scene of B. After the meeting with the infanta has both the eyes damaged walking funny, has been cutted. that is comedy genius
