Hi, I'm John, and I've been passionate about #history since I could remember. I majored in history and historical research and trained for a year under an actual historian. Ultimately, I am a History Buff like many of us. Let's #react and discuss things we know and so much we don't know about history!

Well you’ve had enough practice mate :)
I remember hearing when they actually made the the Blackadder movie. They did film that scene at Hadrian's Wall, at one of the less tall bits. Their recruiter went round the local towns asking if people would like to play Pictish Scots in a movie. He was asked in every single pub, 'is it another of those Braveheart things?'
It's for Blackadder, he told them.
Apparently 800 Scotsmen turned up for make-up!
The absolute best one I ever heard and this is actually in the extra bits for the Highlander movie. The first part of the movie as a battle between our hero's clan, the McClouds and Frasier's, a rival clan.
The director said: 'ACTION!' And all hell broke loose!
The extras attacked each other. It didn't look like a staged fight any more, it looked real!
People were near drowned in rivers, there was full-blown punch-ups, those with the weapons were hacking at each other!
Christopher Lambert and Clancy Brown were standing off to one side of the camera with the 'Connor's cousin's,' all of them watching this vicious brawl going on. The director staring at this in horror he didn't understand what the hell was going on, but he ordered his mobile camera units to get as much of this as possible. It was only after everything calmed down again they found out what happened. The extras hadn't gone to Catering for lunch, they didn't even know it was open to them.
Instead, they went to the local pubs had lunch and had a few too many. On the way back, they knew they will have to fight a battle, so started getting themselves all riled up, the drink helping with this. By the time the battle began, both sides were ready to re-fight Sterling, Culloden and invade England! If you watch the movie again, the battle between the McCloud's and Frasier's look like a real battle and this is why!
What a brilliant, funny story!! Thanks for that..
The German word for Fluffy is flauschig - But the implication is they have never found a use for it ...
There are few jokes about the Americans in the series set in WW1 as they only just got there in time for the end.😅
Well, the Great war ended in 1917! ;-)
@@dallesamllhals9161 Yes. It was awful until November, 1918
@@maestrovon_r5108 AAAHAAA! So, YOU've seen: Blackadder Goes Forth(1989)?
I saw Chris Barrie (Rimmer in Red Dwarf) as the french soldier in the cell scene. (5:05).
And Adrian Edmundson (Young Ones and Bottom) as the Baron :p
Rik Mayall ofc also returning in that episode as Flashheart..
The Roman skirt thing was just something they thought was funny. The higher the rank, the shorter the skirt, and with Stephen Fry's character being a very high rank, had one that barely covered anything xD
I have been trying to find that one. It's not really out there. Stephen Fry as Zap Brannigan is quite a sight. Oh yes.
@@professornuke7562 IIRC it was Blackadder: Back & Forth a standalone special kind of a deal.
"You'll be washing spit out of your hair for a fortnight." is one of my favourite Blackadder lines.
Absolutely ❤ Blackadder, SO MUCH better than Mr. Bean imho. 👌🤣😂🤣
The video being reacted to is a compilation of excerpts from the third and fourth series of Blackadder, and from the special "Back and Forth".
Blackadder itself was four series of six half-hour episodes, each series set in a different time period. As well as a couple of specials and sketches in the "Royal Variety Performance". In production order:
1 - The Black Adder - an apocryphal version of Richard IV's reign between Richard III and Henry VII (Tudor). Blackadder is the secondborn prince, son of Richard IV.
2 - Blackadder II - set in the court of Elizabeth I, and her mad nursemaid. Blackadder is Earl of Northumbria. aka Lord Blackadder.
3 - Blackadder the Third - the Regency of Prince George (aka George IV). Blackadder is now an Esq. upper-middleclass equerry/valet to tye Prince.
S1 - Blackadder- The Cavalier Years - a Comic Relief sketch set during the English civil war. Blackadder as a Baronet.
S2 - Blackadder's Christmas Carol - a reworking of the Dickensian classic with a philanthropist to Miser. With excerpts from series 2 and 3. Blackadder as Scrooge, and middle-class.
4 - Blackadder goes Forth - set in the WWI trenches. Blackadder is a career soldier, who's earned every promotion from his purchased subalterns commission.
S3 - Blackadder and the King's Birthday - the court of Chatles II. Blackadder is again a lord.
S4 - Blackadder: Back and Forth - baldrick builds a time machine, and there are travels to previous eras, and some new ones. Blackadder starts as minor lamded gentry and ends up as King.
S5 - Blackadder: the Army Years - a monologue on how Britain could regain it's mojo, and be on top again, by invading France, via the Channel Tunnel, by Captain the Lord Blackadder, of Her Royal Highness's regiment of Shirkers.....
Percy is the heir to the Duchy of Northumberland. Blackadder's estate location is never mentioned.
Blackadder's commission was not purchased. That system was removed thirty-something years before the First World War.
Her MAJESTY'S Regiment of Shirkers.
"Blackadder is a career soldier, who's earned every promotion from his purchased subalterns commission." No - way too late for that - abolished on 1 November 1871.
One of TOP 10 COMEDY SERIES OF ALL TIME!!👍👍
Blackadder is well worth watching, season 2 being my favourite, followed by 3 ,4 and 1.
You have done it now, I am going to have to download the series.
lol, yes David!
The basis for most of British humour is more or less "People suck. All of them. Including us. Arguably, we're the worst. And as long as we acknowledge that, no one else is off limits either." It's glorious, and I love it
LOL i laughed my butt off here very funny my friend it is good to see you again
I’m glad you liked it!
One thing you should look up is Black Adders explanation of how the first world war started .
Love Blackadder 👍
Just watch 'em all dang it! 4x6 at 30 minutes!
That sounds like a cunning plan 😂
@@davebirch1976 ..like a fox from...?
@@dallesamllhals9161 you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel 😆
Hes got to be the best ever at "one liners"ever! I use his stuff all the time...we all do... absolutely classic ..what a talent! 😂
definite talent!
5:08 - OMG it's Chris Barrie from Red Dwarf! Man, I haven't seen this in ages. I forgot he was in an episode of it. Such a funny fella.
Lord Percy is a real thing; the Duke of Northumberland - exists to this day
Allo Allo 😅😂
1:46 The Welsh village of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch tells all there is to tell
`cough,cough.
There is a lot of toilet based humor in Blackadder.🇬🇧😊
A 'Whoopsie' can be used to refer to a homosexual.
Or someone who's a little effeminate, or a 'dandy'.
Wales - _English since 1542_
Humour and laughing is the reaction were here for, this is the stuff i grew up with. I'm about to check if you've watched bottom.
You haven't! Get on it.. And more blackadder.. Series 2+3 are just as good.
many have been blocked by the BBC, but I appealed this one.
@@HumorAndHistory do what you can .. Only fools n horses will probably get the same restrictions but its t the top of the list.
Whoopsie = pejorative slang term for homosexual.
Blackadder series 2, 3 and 4 are So funny. Highly Recommended , if you like this kind of comedy. 🇬🇧😊
They are all funny enough , but it's a bit of a random selection with a lot of them cut short . A few are from specials rather than the series . Still it gives you a taste of the humour . The French , Germans and Spanish are usually in the firing line for British comedy but no one is exempt .
The Spanish, really? I can't say I've ever heard a Spaniard joke. Lots of jokes about the Irish and Americans though!
Anyone for Python ?
Dead parrot?
I was thinking Spanish inquisition in this case , but Dead partly is a goodie there are so many great Python moments , Life of Brian is well worth a review , or there are loads of clips on u-tube.
Yes, like on 3:06
You as an American have no idea of the depth of Contempt We have for the French! we were just about constantly at war with them for 1000 years, Income tax was introduced in England to pay for a war with France
And about a decade or so ago, we celebrated managing to go over 100 years without trying to kill eachother.
@@wittyreviewer for the moment....
There is a sort of hidden hatred of the British by the Americans because they were aided towards their independence from us by the French
.So Murricans and Froggies are old buddies
I don’t dislike the French.
@@sugarkane4830 You Are in the minority then,
Please do al murray he is great pub landord always drinking on stage but he is a oxford graduate on history
Where is Scotland.
Dougal MacAngus :`I hope life doesn`t become too boring not being able to pass laws over Scotland.`
Blackadder :`I wouldn`t pass water over Scotland.`
They avoided Ireland as at the time of making the first series tensions were very high between Britain and Ireland.
I'm sure there would've been a lot more American insults, if they'd joined the war before 1917. 😁
Maybe you should use subtitles hunny 🤔
🤔
Lol Americans probably think this is actual history
just some, if they even watch 🤷♂️.
@@HumorAndHistory They probably couldn't even spell it.
😁
Actually ... it pretty much is. ☺
@@treborg.londonit actually isn't, it's just British humour that Americans don't really understand sometimes. Please tell me you aren't a teacher.
Whoopsies another word for gays
before woke this was good fun
