I have a cunning plan, let's watch more Blackadder here : czcams.com/play/PLZwyeleffqk5r8Ze_qSF9nKi_9hfjH0qO.html
thanks for the tip.just tried it.
that plan is as hot, as my pants!
You have a woman's plan!
💖
It's such a cunning plan that some people will have thought of it already.
"You fiend, never have I encountered such corrupt and foul-minded perversity! Have you ever considered a carreer in the church?"
The most awesome quote ever!
So true.
@@Baalslegion07 the truth do'es unhinge some people ( esp of the cloth, as it were.)
"No. I could never get used to the underwear."
*foreshadowing 💯*
Isn't anyone else concerned that the "green" is giving off light? Percy must have inadvertently brought forth a radioactive element.
Or phosphorus
@@sanketm1663 phosphorus is a bit more... energetic than this.
He appears to have made some radium.
Which is also not good.
@@MostlyPennyCatthat I hold here in my mortal hand I hold a nugget of purest radium?
@@onebullet2689 Melting Mortal Hand!!
🤢🤢🤮☠️
@@MostlyPennyCat that you percy are an utter burk
Greatest line ever... "Drugged, by God..." " no by Baldrick actually but the effect is much the same..."
🤣🤣🤣
My favourite Blackadder line is, BlackAdders Aunt Lady WhiteAdder... Luck sounds almost exactly like Fuc.. Then the end credits start!!
@@harry-thepug76 Myriam Margolyes, she's magnificent, pure filth. Every time she's on Graham Norton its hilarious.
"You appear to be wearing a pair of Devil's Dumplings!"
I always thought line was drugged by guards
"The color of gold... is gold, thats why its called gold" :D
I have a nugget of the finest green!
That's a very interesting question.......you got me thinking.....
*Colour
@@clonecommanderfoggy682 What? Color in the US, Colour for the UK. What of it?
@@theheavenlywanderer732 Well since this is a British programme, and you were quoting it, surely it should be spelt the British way?
"Blackadder, what are you saying?! What of loyalty, honor, self-respect?!"
"...What of them?"
"...Nothing."
Rowan is actually great looking with that beard and hair cut......
Welks WOOF!!
;o) 27:36 "...like the beard, gives me something to hang on into" ...oops, wrong comment...
Yeah I had a crush on him when I was a kid.
Yep totally fancied this Blackadder
@@adrianekelly2966 yeah, they made him look more suave in this blackadder
Blackadder deserves the ‘green’ medal for British comedy.
😂 absolutely green
The purest there is in all the land
A medal, cunningly fashioned from the purest green.
I'm convinced Nursie is the most bonkers character in all Blackadders
i'll go along with that!
:-D
And that’s against some rather stiff competition
I think the actors all have to be slightly bonkers to get into character on this show!
To quote from the show itself, "Nursie is just an insane old woman with an udder fixation".
Nowhere near. It's General Melchett, or the Rik Mayall character in Series 1 Episode 6.
‘You see, I’m a colossal pervert. No sexual depravity is too low for me. Animal, vegetable or mineral, I’ll do anything to anything’
‘Fine words for a Bishop. Nice to hear the church really speaking out on social issues’
“Aren’t you worried people would find you out?”
“Oh no I kill, I Maim, I Fornicate, but as far as my Flock is concerned my only vice is at the tip before evening song.”
A modern major cardinal
@@masterzombie161 A tipple.
He's a pan-sexual.
@@masterzombie161 Why try to post a quote from the thing we all just watched if you didn't even hear or understand what was said.
"Percy, just go forth into the street." That cracked me up.
"What do you think of my new ruff?"
"You look like a bird that swallowed a plate."
"I think it makes me look rather sexy"
"To other plate swallowing birds"
Still one of my favourite insults of all time.
that hadn`t had it for months...
😅😂😂
Love seeing Rik Mayall after all these years.
“I’ve got a plan, and it’s as hot as my pants” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ever since i first heard it as a child the line "my name is Kate,...... it's short for.... Bob" absolutely cracks me up.
"Good riddance you old witch"
*Knocks door*
"Whoops she's forgotten her broomstick" 😂😂
Miranda Richardson is simply phenomenon as queenie
I agree, she was spot on as Queen Elizabeth. Playing her as simple but looking lovely the whole time.
No, I reckon she's phenomenal, not phenomenon
Phenomenal Baldrick..
Phenomenal..
Certainly the most gorgeous QE 1 ever!
@@peterward2275 Indeed! Upon seeing actual portraits of Queen Elizabeth, Miranda was certainly overqualified in the looks department to play her.
I am searching for the part where Edmund says to queenie:
"life with out you is like a broken pencil"
Q: "explain."
B: "Pointless!"
It’s the second to last scene of season 2, before the post credit scene where Ludwig’s killed everyone.
“If The Queen Finds his head on a Spike, she’ll realize….HES DEAD!”
Never fails to make me laugh
Steven Fry is pure comic genius in everything he does.
He's not really in this episode much is he
Any relation to Stephen Fry?
@@docsavage8640 😃 No, but I’d enjoy having tea with him, Hugh Laurie and Rowan Atkinson. Loved them all since Blackadder series.
Behhhh
Comedy genius is a bit much, I mean he wasn't exactly improvising he was just reading from a script.
In my opinion a bit of fry and laurie was rather poor compared to other double acts.
Give me hale and pace over them any day,
And hale and pace in my opinion don't even come into the my top 10.
Vic and bob,
French and suanders,
Smith and Jones,
Rik and adrian,
Two Ronnie's,
Morcome and wise,
Mitchel and webb,
And the great
Pete and dud,
All in my opinion make fry and laurie look like an open mic act rather then professional comedians.
Some of Rowan Atkinson's greatest work!
His finest work ever!
The thin blue line is also fab
@@megshan09 yup that shows his range of acting, so wide.
Miriam Margoles is just so utterly brilliant as Edmund’s Puritan Aunty. Love her!
She's brilliant both in the show and in real life!
Love her last line as the episode closer haha.
I like how Rowan is trying hard not to giggle during Flash's introduction/skit
Tom Baker was perfect for the part of the captain
I've always found Blackadder a million times better written & more enjoyable than Game of Thrones. And now the rest of the world thinks so too.
It has more believable endings
From what I hear, given that last season it's not the high bar for standards as it used to be xD But yass, Blackadder is proper Good Telly
I’ve never watched GoT, sounds like a dodged a bullet, I always felt it was over-hyped.
Blackadder is one of the best written Tv shows ever, which is why there is only 6episodes per season and just 4 seasons, (technically 3 when you get rid of the first season which wasn’t great at all)
I agree but they are 2 completely different genres so you cant compare them really again agree with your statement
@@twigletsoriginal9669 that’s true. Ones one of the best sit comm shows ever made, one is an epic fantasy tale.
Lord Percy in one of the best parts at 23:15 "Don't worry. You'll get over her. ... I did. ... So did Baldrick"
Hands down my No 1 comedy series…I don’t even know how many times I’ve watched Blackadder 2. Sublime comedy.
The way Percy just pops up from under the sheets is priceless! XD
The whole cast were brilliant
I know I’m getting old BUT blackadder was/is pure genius. They really don’t make em like that anymore, sadly
That first scene is possibly my favourite from the entire show. Tim McInerney's finest moment.
I've always had a huge weakness for the line:
'Y'see, Baldrick, when I was a baby, I was savaged... *by a turbot*
Rowan as Blackadder was soooooo much funnier than Mr. Bean, or pretty much anything else he's done after
He was very good in the first Johnny English film too. Very watchable. But Blackadder was a stand alone brilliance for TV comedy.
The Thin Blue Line was very good too!
Totally agree. I'm glad he made money from Mr Bean but that's it. About 7/8ths of his appeal for me is his verbal dexterity and also his attitude, whether here, in the Thin Blue Line, as the Devil, or as the headmaster.
@@stephanwackman5816 I liked The Thin Blue Line too. It is a a shame they made only 2 seasons. I even have it on DVD.
He's a genius.
Lord Blackadder looks like tony stark when he was living on the time where Shakespeare was still alive
Would make a better Tony stark.
Rowan looks great in that ruffled collar & long, full hair. Very handsome.
I agree:)
I adore british humour, since I saw Marty Feldman for the first time 50 years ago. There is nothing more funny and sophisticated in the world.
Hank Bannister Yes, Marty Feldman was a genius. I didn’t discover his early work until a few years ago, & only thanks to CZcams
Igor, help me with these bags.
@@harry-tuttle FRAU BLUCHER!!!
I can remember Marty Feldman but it was too long ago. A slightly more modern comedy would be "Dad's Army". It was set in WWII and consisted of a dysfunctional platoon of the Home Guard. These were men deemed too old to go to war so were set to guard Britain from German attack.
It's hilarious! Great script writing and fantastic acting.
"Down boy! Down!!!" 😂😂😂😂 I just love Rik Mayall
Rowan Atkinson's delivery is magnificent
There are so many brilliant deliveries here. As much as I didn't like first season that much, rest of them are 100% pure gold.
Miranda Richardson as Queen Elizabeth puts season 2 on another tier for me. S3 is my favourite for Hugh Laurie but 2 is close second for her performance.
Miranda is fantastic not just as Queenie but as The Shadow in 3 and the nurse in 4.
Queenie is the absolute best
I feel like Rowan wasn't expecting that slap at 19:14 lol. Almost see a smirk for a brief second.
'The purest green' means so much more these days.
The Bishop of Bath and Wells is played by Ronald Lacey, who also played the SS guy in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Talk about range...great actor.
“Hello, it was...lovely working with you” 😂😂😂
How can folk not find this a quality piece of comedy sketches that made it to the tv.
Absolutely quality
I thought for a moment Blackadder would actually return with a new series.... Ah well, the misery of lockdown must have made me delirious.
Pincer88 -
Can you seriously imagine mr Bean dressed up as Blackadder? LOL
@@edwardwarrington1809 Try it in reverse. So much biting commentary from a rather light minded teddy bear lover.
Oh come on isn't it fun watching the old series. No need to wish for anything new.
He's old now so the likeliness for him to return to perform as Blackadder again would be rather low.
a senile descendant of black adder in the whitehouse, with his faithful baldrick and fool keeping him on the hotseat and at least semi coherent, as the usa burns and britain brings back absolute monarchy.
everyone gets a turniping..
a descendant of melchet on the throne of england..
a hapsburg king in the imperial franco-prussian throne..
revolutions english style. you know how it is
it could work
Of course they save the best for last
All hail Lord Flashheart!
That’s exactly what I was waiting for!
He stole the show, even with the comedy greats he shared the screen with
*HOORAY!*
If you look close you see Atkinson trying not to laugh. Hard.
ca. at 24:35
Woof woof 😆😏😉
Well , they portrayed the church perfectly 🤭🤭
Among other things.
Plus Hugh Laurie's German accent is killing me😆😆 and I AM german!
very similarto rusian one LOL)))) but yeah amazing!
Za qveen haz desidid.
Comedic green!
The church sketch and the sea captain sketches are ace.
Word play at its best.
Word play is a humour complexity that people struggle to get.
@@mikethomas6051 Then let the struggling folk go watch American sitcoms.
Make a sentence out of the following words : Face. Sodding. Your. Shut. 😂😂😂
I have this quote on repeat in my inner monologue whilst at work most days. Helluva gamble since my inner monologue is as reliable as Baldrick is at coming up with an actual cunning plan
Back in 1989-1990 while in nursing school this series kept me from going insane! And made me a better comic.
The Lord Flashart episode from series two is probably one of the greatest scenes in comedy of all time - full stop. I'm not sure how much of it was actually scripted because a lot of it seems improvised.
I agree 💯 with you!
And I suspect 50 % of that scene was ad-libbed.
From the Flashman books
@@rishisaaptacha His admiration for the costue department was contained in a single sentence: "I looked so good I was a walking penis."
mayal would have stole the show so they only used him sporadically, wise choice
Hurray!
The Best British Humour Ever!!
Why you British people dont even try to do anymore something funny like Black Adder, The New Statesman, Red Dwarf? And all this show i mentioned were invented in the eighties.
@@sinisa5567 yep the 80s saw some of the best ever TV comedies that still stand
Best period of Black Adder! And have to say, Atkinson is so hot in this ❤
Sisko MaSu I agree. It shocked me to find him so attractive after seeing him in the first. Still find him hot. The outfit sets him off wonderfully, plus the goatee, beard and mannerisms/voice. A perfectly composed character. He absolutely sells it.
I love this series, but the fourth is the absolute best imo
stephen noonan agreed
Saw some pictures of his wife and daughter, they were both gorgeous. If he met his wife while he played this character, no doubt she found him hot as well.
This is my favourite Black Adder series, so many demeaning quips.
Wish we could do so great comedy in germany.
Black Adder, Fawlty Towers, Yes minister etc.
It's German humour, it's no laughing matter.
@@Elderrion if it's any consolation, y'all make the best Nazi films . . .
"That all depends whether you want the slop bucket over your head or not."
My response to anyone volunteering to sing as well.
My favorite Blackadder. He was exceptionally cute.
“She’s got a tongue like an electric eel & she likes the taste of a mans tonsils WOOF !
💪 R.I.P. Rik
spelt with a silent P 😏(the young ones)😉
Jane "bury me know Y shapes coffin" Harrington 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jane Bury me in a Y shaped coffin Harrington !
This show is just pure genius!
Brilliant Rik Mayall as Lord Flashheart!
“By a thousand to one chance my willy got in the way”💀💀💀
7:42
For those that didn’t recognize him (or just didn’t know), that’s Hugh Laurie (Dr.House) 👍🏻
Laurie is one of my favorite, multi-talented stars. In addition to his brilliance (dramatic, comedic, literary and musical), he was wonderful portraying nitwits. And a flawless American accent. Gush, gush.
Bertie Wooster.
Those who don’t recognise are dumb as as dodo
Brilliant comedy, shame we don't have anything like it now.
Mr.Atkinson did some of his finest acting in this series.
Devil's dumplings!
Loved Black adder. Such a classic comedy and an amazing cast, and don't know why they stopped making these shows really. This is all their best acting ever!
Most tend to choose Goes Forth as their favorite, but Blackadder II has always been my favorite. I feel like they perfected the character in II.
My favorite is more the third one. Though the ending of the fourth is probably my favorite
@@Darkstar1484 - Three is a very close second for me, love it!
She my favourite aswell
Tom Baker , Absolutely Brilliant :-)
Aha! You have a WOMAN's comment section! I'll wager this comment section has never felt the lick of the cat or had seventeen shipwrecked mariners TOSSING in it!
I love this line! "I thought so and i bet your Mother made you wear shorts right up to your final year!"
Was literally in the middle of packing a bowl of banana kush when the guy said "hold in my hands, a nugget of green?!?"😂😂 I'm dead...
@FichDich InDemArsch Yup. Your username also does not say at all what you want it to😂 maybe you should learn German before you try to be funny lol.
@FichDich InDemArsch My family is from Germany hun, lived there for 2 years myself. Also the guy who mistranslated fuck you in the ass and spends Christmas trolling youtube comments reaaaaally shouldn't call people an edgelord😜. This conversation is over tho, as talking to sad trolls in youtube comments is not how I'm gonna spend christmas lol
Tom Baker was hilarious as the mad captain red beard rum
You have a WOMANS COMMENT!
@Sir Soy Gato the Second im making fun of the lunatic captain
justinin trump OHHHH You have a WOMAN’S REPLY M’LORD!
I’ll wager these dainty letters never weighed anchor in a storm.
@@Jozztime Better a lapdog to the slip of a girl than your comment 🤣 You do have some spunk in ya, Laddie!
The Doctor really let himself go
Blackadder rocks! Rowan Atkin and friends are truly inspired comics. Poor Percy is such a lovable dimwit! Baldric and Nursery are my faves.🤣
Lady Whiteadder: Oh, come on! "Luck." Sounds almost exactly like f..
I love how the Bishop massages Blackadder’s shoulders.
Ronald Lacey as the baby eating Bishop of Bath and Wells ,also played Toht the gestapo man in Raiders of the Lost Ark,died in 1989 ,not long after been in Blackadder
Also the Sholto Brothers in Jeremy Brett's 'The Sign Of Four'.
I must say Rowan looks much better with facial hair than usual IMHO.
2:58 my god what is it with Ronald Lacey and red hot pokers?! First Raiders now this!
Back in the 80's, this show started my life-long crush on Tony Robinson. I love Baldrick. I recently saw Tony in two episodes of Doctor In Charge from the early 70's. So damn cute!
I met him once and he was really nice.
Ohh! You have a woman's crush, milord! I wager that crush was never shattered by seeing your cabin boy swept away by a wave in front of your very eyes.
Whoever it was’ idea to leave the bit in where Ricks moustache falls off a bit is a genius
Possibly the most insane comedy ever written,
Who knew green would become the new gold one day
A right rum do... Seeing dear Tom Baker as Captain Rum after only knowing his work as The Fourth Doctor. 😁
Love the bit of series 3 with Sam Johnson and the dictionary. Also the Scarlet Pimpernel, and best line :"Flander's Pigeon Murdereer" by Stephen Fry.
Marcel Moreau - General Sir Anthony Cecil Hogmanay Melchett. Best ever name on tv :)
That is my favorite episode, when Blackadder shot Speckled Jim, and had to face the trial and firing squad.
3:53 this is how they blackmailed at that time. Didn't need a camera to take explicit photos. Just a canvas and a paint brush was enough.
Blackadder one of Britain's Best comedies!
I was not born when this was around and i thank the internet for letting me witness it decades later, all love for u rowan and crew!
Sixteen shipwrecked mariners tossing in it 🤣
Every season was special. We had probably every episode on the VCR tapes.
Mr bean, dr house, cruellas butler and hagrid are just perfect combination 😂
Hagrid is here??
@@bidoofismyking8962 He plays the Doctor who took 10 years to create the British Dictionary.
OHHH!!!! YOU HAVE A WOMAN'S COMPILATION OF CLIPS M'LORD!!!
"oh Edmond ..could it be true ???" ..I love these dramatic moments with Lord Percywald Blakeney ..this one.. and "the famous Blue stone of Galveston" bit
"you appear to be wearing a pair of devil's dumplings" "either that or me earrings have fallen down" classic...
The pure look of terror on their faces as she ate that Turnip
It's a rare occurrence in life when 2 completely different genres of entertainment are able to simultaneously share the same situation:
3:33
The church:
"Wake up depraved bish! Your time is up!"
And
Late 90s WcW:
"Wake up bish! Your time is up!"
Is it just me that watches each series depending on what mood I’m in.
I love Black Adder, I wish more people my age did
Now hang on hang on... that captain around 15:05...
He might have a sailor's face, body, arms, and... well...
...but I'll wager he has a doctor's voice
"Where haven't I been? Woof!" Cracks me up!
Rowan is so great in this.
"Its more of a splat" Oh God it IS radium!
