It was a bit of a mistake to think… “maybe I’ll just watch four or five minutes of this” at half one in the morning. You fool Darling.

"Thank God! We lived through it, the Great War, 1914 to 1917." That was such a gut punch.

"Pitt the toddler?  Pitt the embryo?  Pitt the glint in the milkman's eye?"

"Again, please!"

"Here are my genitals, please take them."

"Anti-distinctly-minty..."

"So he was a stunt codpiece."

"Cleaner!"  "All right, so you've had a wash, that's no excuse!"

"So what you're telling me, Percy, is that something you have never seen is slightly less blue than something else you have never seen."

That final , poignant scene and the fade to a field of poppies still tug at your heart no matter how many times you see it. A truly great moment in TV.

I will never forget the night the episode with Rick Mayal and Rowan Attickson together aired for the first time. The next day at school (Royal Russell) everyone was re-enacting scenes and lines worked there way into class. Blackadder and The Young Ones had a huge impact. But you appreciate it more and more with age and wisdom.

mirrandas portrayal of Elizabeth 1 is the best, better than all those in the movies she is perfect for this part.

My favorite is the two actors having to go through that superstitious and hilarious ritual every time Edmund says, "MacBeth!".

I thought Miriam was really lovely as the Infanta lmao 😭

We, the Dutch just love British humour and sitcoms! We know and appreciate them all, Dad's Army, Are You Being Served, 'Allo, allo, and of course Blackadder. But, our own national comic treasure, André van Duin, wrote and performed his Baldrick Boom Boom poem joke, already back in 1975, when he played a naughty schoolboy defying his strict school teacher and recited his two-pages-long essay about the neighbours' cat: "Puuuus, puss, puss, puss, puss..." 😂😂😂😂😂

Stephen fry screaming 'TEA!' in hugh's ear is my message alert.

I miss the mention of "The Actors". Connor and Paddick were both out of this world fantastic in that episode.

Me dad introduced me to blackadder and rowan atkinson. I was a youngkid. We had enjoyed john cleeses fawlty towers and obviously the pythons amongst other great comedies of their time. I was but a child but I understood slightly more cus me dad sorta reeled me deep into that world. It was eye opening and liberating and I'm grateful for it still.

Don't ever lose your humor, good people of Britain.

When asked by the Hugh Lawrie character in the last series of Blackadder as to what is the procedure when one steps on a mine Blackadder's answer is "...to jump about 200 feet in to the air and scatter ones body parts over the surrounding area."

All those young men screwed over by an uncaring totally disconnected hirearchy .How many men of science,medicine,engineering etc etc were wasted in the bloody fields of this war ? NOT a cunning plan my lords !

I'm 54, and I was 25 when I first became acquainted with Blackadder. I was given the box set of all four series as an anniversary gift. That gift sparked a love affair with Blackadder that endures to this day.
If I'd loved being married even half as much as I do Blackadder, I'd still be married! :D

lol@“Baldrick was the stupidest creature ever, but he’s also a hero. He represents the lower classes.” What a compliment to the common man.

“Your breath comes straight from satan’s bottom” 😂

As great as Stephen Fry was at playing various Malchetts, to me, he WAS the Duke of Wellington. :)

The Last Episode of the 4th series left me shattered...I sat there, in front of the television, just weeping and wailing for the characters, for family members and all the young men uselessly killed and heinously sacrificed in the machinations of the monied class....oh my heart! This last scene so perfectly captures what WWI was all about....a complete waste of humanity....it still hurts to watch....

01:55 Tim McInnerny's "Lord Percy Percy" from the series 2 is one of my favorite characters of the whole show. 🤣
