That ending of Black Adder goes fourth gets me every time. For those last few moments all the comedy and giggles get dropped. It's gut wrenching.
Me too. I grew up in Jersey, in the UK. The island was occupied by the Germans during WW2 for over five years. I am certain if it hadn't been for men like these, I would never have even been born. 😒
Gives you shivers the end of the series.
Brilliant writing
I think you played it in the best way you could lads. Probably most people when they knew you were doing this series wanted to see your reaction to that final moving scene. It's often cited as the most iconic scene to end any programme in British tv history, not just the comedy genre. Most of us, especially over here know that episode backwards. You weren't able to upload the episode but your reaction to that devastating scene is what people are interested in, and now you've provided that.
Hi Guys, just in case no-one has told you, yes, that was Flanders fields the main area of France that the British Army fought in. The Poppies grew naturally & inspired the poem & the Red Poppies for Remembrance Day.
Flanders in Belgium 🇧🇪 Is where most of the fighting happened during The First World War not in French 🇫🇷 Flanders.
You two would like a song called Green Fields of France. It's the story of a soldier who died in 1915, there are Irish versions which use 1916 in reference to the Easter rising rebellion
@@Chris_GY1 You are quite right, my mistake. Thanks, for the correction.
The Patreon is so worth it! I´m currently going through Peep show, which I have never seen, so watching for the 1st time with you guys! Also I´m doing doing Father Ted again, that I watched on youtube last year, but now happy to catch the full reactions!
There was a lot of complaints in the UK regarding Blackadder Goes Forth. People were saying it is disrespectful to the soldiers who perished and those that fought because they reckoned it shouldn't be portrayed in a comedy. The writers were aware of this and they made sure that the end scene was taken seriously and brought all the laughter to an abrupt halt. The fields turning red was to show the blood of the dead soldiers that had fallen and was portrayed by the field of poppies. Poppies are worn by many in the UK on November 11th every year.
Poppies were the only thing that would grow in the devastated battlefields, hence the field of poppies at the end. Poppies are also used as a symbol of remembrance, on remembrance day in the UK. We do 2 minutes silence at the 11th hour, on the 11th day of 11th month every year ❤
Such a great ending and the fact that it is on a comedy show makes it even more impactful, the juxtaposition of Bizarre stupid comedy and throw in some absolute sombre reality is much more meaningful.
No worries. You are some solid guys sharing some laughs with us. Thank you and keep doing what you want to do. Thank you!
One of the greatest shows ever to be put on TV. Your efforts are appreciated, boys. I hope you have given series 1 a chance because it does have its moments. 👍🍻🍻
Yes that field was a battle site and the poppy is now a mark of respect for those that fought a died in all wars.
Just upload it without the video and just have a timestamp, people have to sync it themselves, problem solved.
There are a few pretty easy workarounds that they could use if they wanted.
Series 1 is like a test run. Some things worked, some didn't. You do get a couple of famous actors in it and it is good to see the building blocks being assembled. Black Adders Christmas Carol and the Cavalier Years short are must watches. Back and Forth is the weakest of them all. When Goodbyeee was originally broadcast the laughter track was present over the final scenes, which drew a lot of complaints. When it was rebroadcast they wisely cut it out.
Yeah the YT copyright has definitely got a lot more intense, I myself have had some problem trying to get stuff uploaded, it’s such a shame because they will let it pass on patron, so it just goes to show the double standards of YT. The ending of BA goes forth should be seen by everyone it’s so moving
I don't know if anyone has mentioned it in other videos, but you may want to check out Tony Robinson's one man show called "Tony Robinson's Cunning Night Out". He goes over many fun historical facts as well as the ending to Blackadder Goes Forth and the issues they had filming it. It's a really fun watch and shows just how smart TR really is. There's a reason he hosted multiple history (and history themed) shows.
Thanks boys. Think most people understand with You-tube reaction vids like yours you get gaps and eps out of sequence. Don't sweat it too much you two are great fun and would be welcome in Cardiff for a pint any time. BTW yep pretty sure it was a battlefield. But now am thinking i should look it up...
I'll get the 2nd one in!
The field at the end was just stock BBC film, but given it has popped in it, it could well be a WWI battlefield.
What you said about everyone getting wounded, reminds me of a book I read at school about WW1, which said when the men came back from war, they had to redefine beauty.
they only got a few seconds of footage at the end scene and cast refused to do another take because they found it too emotional so they came up with the idea of slowing what they had shot down so it was complete chance they came up with the amazing end scene
I understand guys, you just can't get it up. I've heard that it can become a problem with men of a certain age.
😂😂😂😂
You can normally get away with just the ending for the final episode of Blackadder. Lots of reactors have done the "over the top clip" (90% of the time with no context)
It is what it is, can only try your best guys ❤
Listen to a song called "1916" by Motorhead. It's completely outside their usual style, and it will break your heart.
Do yourselves a huge favour, boys, not necessarily for this channel but for yourselves and watch "Oh! What a Lovely War" from 1969. There is no shooting, battles or graphic deaths, performed comically around real songs, incidents and quotes of the day and is heart breaking.
Such a shame you couldn't show it. THE greatest ending to any show ever surely.
You don't need an olive branch lass, more than welcome. Come over guys 😊😊
when this show first aired lots of people complained about it being disrespectful to those who died . Then the first world war vertrians satrted saying that no its great the humor is spot on to what it was like in the trenches. And after that ending it was raved about. at the end of the nighties there was a poll for the greatest moments in tv history. The ending came second ...to the moon landings! thats how well regarded this season is.
That style of warfare sadly probably isn't too much different from today..broken bloody bodies etc..😢
Sorry to hear you guys couldnt get it up for so long. 😂
I can still remember now when 19 yrs old where i was when it was shown here in the UK , It poignancy hit me like a brick TBH .
Brings it home. Men actually did this. And you can't laugh it off.
Ben Elton wanted to finish with a truth. Wars are often not avoidable because one side invades another country and that country has a choice of becoming slaves to a dictatorship or fight back which becomes a war, hence wars are fought because a small elite ruler has a perverted vision of ultimate power and wealth. As long as we have a system where a small elite control the lives of billions wars will continue. My dad was a sergeant in the Lancashire Fusiliers during WW1 [i am 75] he was gassed but survived clearly or i would not be here.
You also missed out on end episode series 3😢😢
Ignor season 1 they changed so much for season 2 etc whatch each seson through then do specials when you want. The ending was what Americans call a water cooler moment, the whole of the UK had to pause and take it in, the ending is shoking but beatiful, amazing that a comody did what they did.
Tried 10 times but just "can't get it up.
(These days there's a pill to help with that.)
I think you should react to the specials and then series one. The specials are like the Blackadder you've come to know and love. Series one isn't that bad but it's different.
the last scene a shot in a studio and filmed on a budget as regards to bangs and whizzes the result when watched back was terrible borderline unuseable and amaterish,,, so someone had the bright idea of slowing it down with slowed down music and then fade to the poppys,,,,, and its a classic bit of tv now almost if not the perfect ending
Just go with the specials guys.
First world war fort like lions lead by donkeys 2nd world war had a bit more caution.
I hope you do watch S1 and the specials. I know S1 gets a lot of bad rep but I still love it. It would be interesting seeing your reaction to it after you’ve watched all the other series before it.
Didn't you miss some of season three out ,considering in the earlier series you couldn't get the concept of the period,just know your history boys season one was ok but by far the weakest.this last episode had pathos always strangely compelling in a classic comedy sketch for such a serious subject.
In future how bout we watch your reaction to the tv without us seeing or hearing the screen. You do your best lads and we love your input and enjoy your reaction to classic British comedy.
I definitely was like "what the hell lads" ngl, sorry 😅
Cut it in pieces other youtubers have😅
Skip series 1 my friends do specials love from essex uk
And now on this day of Saint George just time for a Quick Kate Bush CBE ....ENGLAND MY LIONHEART...Bless her
Series 2 Hugh Laurie lived Blackadder died
Series 3 Blackadder lived Hugh Laurie died
Series 4 they both died.
If you reacted more and relied less on the video, youd be fine
Please don't do series 1 it's shite.
