What's the deal with people complaining when someone posts funny dialogue from the clips? Do you complain when someone posts an interesting quote from a movie or song? Or from a play? I love when people share bits they thought where funny. Clever and witty dialogue is to be shared so we can really appreciate it on its own.
This is really one of Rowan Atkinson's best performances. Every single time I watch it I have to remind myself that Blackadder and MacAdder are played by the same actor
I was hoping that they had the scene where Blackadder tells Baldrick his plan before the due. "He hands me the sword, I kick him in the nuts you set fire to the building..." Lines like that don't get any better. :)
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant dialogue and the way Roman Atkinson delivers for both characters is pure class. Wonderful comedy. Nothing like it today sadly.
After all these years I can still recite this season, word for word. It really is my favorite season of Blackadder. From 2:33 it's just beyond brilliant. I rank it up there with A Bit of Fry and Laurie's Nippl-e sketch. I spoke to a customer the other day named Patsy Stone. I asked, but she'd never heard of AbFab, and what's the point of trying to explain Pats? Honestly can you imagine a world without British humor? Perhaps that is hell. Everything is the same, except the only humor that is allowed is Jerry Martin, dubbed in French.
@@JanetStarChild Stones and pounds are both used for weight - a stone is 14 pounds. The name for the currency came from the Troy system, which was based on the weight of a silver penny - one pennyweight. There were 20 pennyweights to a Troy ounce and 12 Troy ounces to a Troy pound, and a Troy pound of sterling silver was the major unit of currency, hence 'pound sterling', and why the old money system had 240 pennies to a pound
Does he mean while both pregnant with an eight-pound baby, fighting one handed while holding onto an eight-pound baby in the other hand, or carrying the baby on their backs?
But what is it worth in today's money, now 2016? This Blackadder is set during the Regency period which was 1811-1820. So £1.74 would be worth around £125 now in 2016 adjusting for inflation.
And fortune keeps vomiting on his eiderdown as well, given all the sticky situations that he gets into. In fact he has gotten in to way more sticky situations than even sticky the stick insect.
It's what happens when the average taxpayer believes that the government is throwing away money like used toilet paper. Many great folks who used to work for the BBC got better offers from the private sector, leaving the network bereft of talent.
The lesson here: never trust other people to do your dirty work for you. And NEVER reveal your plans. Not even to your kin. You never know who's a trsitor until it's too late.
Wellington was popular with the people, whereas the royal family was not. The real Wellington might just have gotten away with it, given sufficient dueling pretense. MacAdder, of course, lacks that popularity nd so a Scot killing the king wouldn't be nearly as accepted.
@@roguishpaladin Unless of course he's dressed up as Wellington - though I'm guessing the bailiffs would be able to tell the difference between the two Wellingtons
0:54 - this is an example of the body double for Rowan here. However when you see them both together in shot, it is Rowan playing both parts, but edited together to make it look like they are two people. Must have taken a good amount of time, as they would have had to stop/start recording to get this scene done.
@@johnking5174 ...or they just ran the scene twice and recorded it through both times. The doubles (or at least the Blackadder double) would need to speak the lines so that the vocals matched up anyways.

The 15th century Blackadder (the one from the first series) had a Scottish half-brother (if memory serves, he was also called McAdder), so there is a Scottish connection going back some way. Funnily enough, Blackadder is actually a genuine surname from Northumbria, so in the borderlands between England and Scotland.
@@TranscendentLion It's not possible since prince Edmund was the one who was the first named Blackadder (until the latest timetravelling movie changed the lore) there was one scottish guy who was called McAngus in the first series and he was only a vassal of king Richard
@@drevenypribor6144 He was the first Blackadder, but he also didn't have any legitimate issue (unless you really want to conceive of the idea that he had a child with his...ahem..._very_ young wife). So, the first Blackadder must have bastards who took on the surname Blackadder, which makes some sense given that Blackadder isn't Lord Edmund's surname anyways.
I have a cunning plan, let's watch more Blackadder here : ua-cam.com/play/PLZwyeleffqk5r8Ze_qSF9nKi_9hfjH0qO.html
This videos is awesome
"Farewell Blackadder, you spineless goon!" Has to one of the best lines in the show.
-And how stands that mighty army, the Clan McAdder?
-They're both well

How did they do it in the 80s? How did they get them both on screen at the same time. There is even a brief scene of both of their faces

As one who is Scottish, let me compliment Rowan on having the best Scottish accent spoken by an Englishman lol. Excellent !
He's from the Durham/Northumberland border, so not that far away to be fair.
If you want to see him be French watch Mr Bean.
that's bollocks, and ya ken !!
alan duncanson sounded like Indian to me, but that's how it is,
But praise one while make fun of the other right ?
Pretty good, except at one point sounding more Geordie than Scottish
I was just programming a day after watching this, and I cracked a smile when I saw the data type for a MAC address was MacAddr.
"Fortune vomits on my eiderdown once more"
I gotta use that line
So that's what that smell is.
Best line ever, use it often 😏
"The pathway of my life is strewn with cowpats from the devils own satanic heard".
"The ancient Stone Bonnet of McAdder" xD
Stephen Fry as the Duke of Wellington is just 👌🏻
He was more like the Iron Duke than the Iron Duke himself..metaphorically speaking.
Yeah strikingly good performance. Real authority for a small comedic role
I was hoping that they had the scene where Blackadder tells Baldrick his plan before the due. "He hands me the sword, I kick him in the nuts you set fire to the building..." Lines like that don't get any better. :)
In the confusion we claim a draw.

Good trick photography with both Blackadder and mcadder
I'm a bit sad that this is the closest we'll ever get to two Blackadders meeting. Back and Forth really missed an opportunity there
Worse still, Rik Mayall did the 90's politician 'Blackadderish' schtick and pre-buggered the plot-arc :-)
There was a scene in that episode where the modern Blackadder and Baldrick saw their ancestors, the ancestors didn't see them though.
@@WizardaronWait really? I don't remember that.
I'd love to see Blackadder meet Mr. Bean

Fully agree. The third season is comedy perfection.
McAdder's outfit is brilliant.
Hugh Laurie is as much a master of physical comedy as Rowan. As a slapstick stooge, he's absolutely hilarious.
Agreed
Have you seen his soccer coach video teaching the kids to flop? Classic.
01:26 Apparently, the Outer Hebrides weren't worth that much - 14s and 6d from 1800 would be £31.95 in 2017.
"...bare-breasted and each carrying an eight-pound baby!"
Yes, yes, yes...
One of the finest sentences ever crafted.
I thought the UK uses pounds as currency and stones as a measure of weight.

1:08-1:10 Angus is a girl- McAdder
Of course- says Blackadder
And his reaction priceless 🤣
Legitimately one of the greatest actors of all time
1:37 Blackadder should have said "Yes good idea, but you'll have to kill the real Duke of Wellington first"
Typical superb comedy by the master himself.
He's madder than Mad Jack MacMad, winner of last year's Mr. Madman competition.
"I promised Mr Mcnulty I'd shift a particularly difficult bloater for him!" Brilliant 👏
Such a good Scottish accent! Rowan Atkinson is just wonderful. Plus he's a lover of free speech. God bless Rowan.
"you spineless goon" is excellent...
I'm still laughing at that after 30 odd years.
Im greek and I don't Know what does Spindless goon means.Can someone explain to me.
@@fwteinhtsagarh953 spineless=cowardly, goon=person of low character (as in, no sense of morality and often subservient for personal gain)

You mean Stephen Fry?
Damn for a 1980 British sitcom the effects with Rowan playing both blackadders is amazing.
1987
Effects? A double has been used since as long as there's been plays/ pantomimes or movies
“you’re a woman of spirit, I look forward to burying you in the old highland way”

Top kipper salesman class
Did anyone notice that McAdder said Loch Lomond monster, and not Loch Ness?
intentional
I guess it moved.
@Han Lockhart Apparently Nessie is just the most famous out of many scottish Loch monsters.
@Han Lockhart No they are completely unrelated lakes
Sorry to break it to you but this is a work of fiction, and any resemblance to actual clans, monsters etc. is purely coincidental.
‘And how stands that mighty army, the Clan McAdder?’
‘They’re both fine’
“Ya spineless goon!” I use this sometimes. Of course, few get the reference.
I need to add this to my list of insults.

For some reason McAdder is a refreshing style over Atkinson's trademark sarcasm and elitist putdowns.
awesome editing
I’d pay money to see the bloopers
I love Mrs Miggins

Is it possible that macadder distant direct descendants from original evil edmund or macadder may have come from mcangus?
Well, as I recall they were half-brothers, so maybe
"You spineless goon"
Wait a second, if the duke killed the prince wouldn’t the bailiffs arrest him as well? Or can he buy his way out of it because of his title?
I've often wondered this as well. Duels, as a concept, were pretty fucked up in general, though.
