"...I'm a busy man, and I can't be bothered to punch you at the moment, but here is my fist. Kindly run towards it as fast as you can." Timelessly epic hilarity.
Reminds me of Steve-O and Mike Tyson.
"Blackadder, you're dressed as a priest! How dangerous and stupid and perverted! It's just like school!" Best line ever!!!!!!!!
don't you mean a Rev?
@@eliotreader8220 Nope. Charlie the Incompetent was a Mick.
"Shut up with the greatest respect your majesty"
"Something will pop up"
"Not under Puritanism, it won't"
It took the audience a couple of seconds for that one to filter through
That's how you know it's authentic!
@@benjaminoechsli1941 I am pretty sure that Oliver Cromwell didn't call Himself Lord Protector of England until after Charles the First was beheaded
I got it!
Puritans are the party poopers of religion
I absolutely love Stephen Fry's Prince Charles-esque Charles I in this. "Are you ready to meet your maker?" "Well, I'm always absolutely fascinated to meet people from all walks of life... yes, particularly manufacturing industries."
Am I supposed to genuinely like Charles I here? I do. He's oddly endearing in a pompous way.
@@maryfreebed9886 Stephen Fry is doing a direct impersonation of Prince Charles at the time, now Charles III because they shared the same name - so I suppose it depends on if you find him especially pompously endearing or not :P
Admittedly it is somewhat endearing to see a character so pompous they don't realise they're in any danger
@@gabrieltsgardner9942 So we actually see a bit of Charles I, Charles II, and Charles III in this sketch?
which "Prince Charles" has had his head cut off?????
@@ruthsaralam4055 Is this like a pub quiz? The only one I know of was King Charles I. After all, a king is still a prince. (Unless Prince Charles was the name of that horse in The Godfather...)
Blackadder - The coming together of four of the best English actors of all time; Rowan Atkinson, Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie and Tony Robinson.
John Cleese is missing
@@roberth.5938 John Cleese is missing, is that all?
@@mattklein5498@Robert H. Rik Mayall should most definitely be on the list too
We all know that list would be quite long 😀
England has created the best culture for centuries
Music, Humor, Art, Poetry and much more
Also Baldric. I am not sure he was played by anyone no actor could be so convincing!
Fry's take on Charles is sidesplitting
Should be guaranteed to earn him a Knighthood! 🙄🤣🤣
@@theoztreecrasher2647 Or a beheading.
@@spudpud-T67A cutting title!
love the way he says 'fascianating, infinitely fascinating'
"What does it say? Guillty or not guilty?"
"I'll give you two guesses."
"Not guilty."
"...One more guess." 🤣
Fry playing Charles I as now King Charles III is just fuxking genius!
C'mon now it was obvious Prince Charles would become Charles 3 from the get go
Excellent scriptwriting and superbly acted out by the best of British actors.. Rowans delivery is perfect and Stephen's portrayal of King Charles is second to none... Tony.. Well. He's just baldrick.. Lol
"I'll give you two guesses" hahaha
Baldrick is adorable. Unsanitary and adorable.
Baldrick is actually everything you say. Unfortunately..... Tony Robinson is none of those. (I'm guessing he showers occasionally.) (The Millennium Tony. I don't forget.)
Cromwell wasn't born a peasant or a squire. Don't let them fool you with that. His family were rich and he was connected. Spent much of his earlier life being a politician. He couldn't have become Lord Protector without the connections
“Shut up with the greatest respect your Majesty.” That was the funniest delivery ever, was not expecting that
This is so brilliant, I class it as a 100% canon era of Blackadder. Stephen Fry is particularly fabulous in this.
Funny how Tony Robinson has turned himself from an object of affectionate ridicule into one of the smartest and most influential videographer/historians on the planet.
Smartest influential videographer on the planet is a stretch he's not even best in the field
And through his detached lefty politics has come back round to an object of affectionate ridicule again
@@callithowiseeit5806 yes, because the other parties are doing great, right?
Good ole Balders and the Time Team
@@Serotonious And that makes it better in what way?
Well, now Charles is king. Good imitation by Fry 🙂
That might be a great money-making oppo. A lottery - and the winner gets 75% of the takings plus the honour of swinging the Axe! 😜😁
"You're head is as empty as a eunich's underpants." That's one of the best blackadder quotes to use.
'Your'
@@rebjorn79 Obviously you enjoy grammar and proper punctuation. Did you not also study spelling?
Agreed! 🤣
@@Moondog-wc4vm I see you haven't learnt what puns are.
Eunuch
“Your brain is like the four headed man eating haddock fish beast of Aberdeen” lmao
Stephen Fry was hilarious in that! :)
"I cant be bothered to hit you. Here is my fist, kindly run towards it as fast as you can." HAHAHA!!!!
"Here's my fist. Kindly run towards it as fast as you can"
Hillarious!
This was so much fun. The Charles impression was pure genius. I still class Blackadder as one of my top five favorite Britcoms ever.
Blackadder, red dwarf, and the mighty boosh are me top 3
Ah! You have a woman's britcom, milord!
Timeless comedy, absolutely brilliant. Pure comedy genius.
Tony's Hair would have gone down well in an 80s Rock band
"You very small total bastard!" Brilliant.
This is a perfect idea of a actual season but if anything else a 45 minute special. With the time we can explore more on Edmund and Baldrick.
In all the years since I've watched Blackadder, I've not seen this. Brilliant from all of them, as always. Thank you for posting this!
Stephen Fry sounds like Charles III - hilarious!
Blackadder uses such elaborate methods of insulting Baldrick.
Hahaha the Prince Charles, now King Charles impression is so good.
One measley civil war in the entire history of England and i'm on the wrong bloody side
Rowen looks so handsome in (17 costume.I am a reenactor & love the clothes,hair styles & even wigs.Make almost anyone attractive.
Have you seen Blackadder II set in the time of Queen Elizabeth l ? Rowan is gorgeous in his tall black leather boots!
@@txcatlady My personal favourite Blackadder
Sold on DVD as the Cavalier Years. Best line was regarding the purple cup *LOL*
Blackadder's insults are legendary but this moment 7:47 is pure masterpiece , without saying a word he became a GOD . I just can't get enough of Blackadder .
"He's got so many warts on his face, it's only when sneezes you find out which one his nose is." 🤣😂😅
"he spells your doom sir!". "Spells my doom, wonderful! Particularly exciting because so many people these days can't even spell at all! particularly in the inner cities - my areas of interest" LOL wtf
The kitchen set seen here at 0:38 was a redressed version of the kitchen set used in Blackadder the Third, which had just ended the year before this special in 1987.
Great to see Warren Clark.He was the oik industrialist in 3
Greatest comedy of all time without a doubt. BRITISH humour is at its best.
Monty Python!!
@@windyhead7960 You're just a VERY NAUGHTY BOY! 😲🙄
CBE Rowan Atkinson.
Sir Anthony Robinson.
2 extraordinary gentlemen, who will always be the biggest comedic faces of The Great Britain.
_(and archaeology)_
5:01 Aberdeen??
Isn't that where We-jock Poo-pong Mcplop cleans the public toilets?🤣🤣🤣
Now we have King Charles III!! lol
Well done Stephen - makes it even funnier that he impersonates Charles!
Charles 1 of course talking like current King Charles.
The long hair, moustache and beard really suit Rowan.
Have you seen him in Season 2 Blackadder, with his tall black leather boots ? Wow.....❤
I was in love with him when I was a teen watching Blacladder😂
" Tell me,have you come far?" Hahaha brilliant acting.
6:45 "there's a tavern in the town, IN THE GROUND...."
The idea of having Charles I talk like Prince, now King Charles is purely genius
I can't believe I missed this! I love Blackadder and always wondered where the line "here is my fist, kindly run towards it as fast as you can," came from.
Imagine having Baldwrick as your father making you listen to him.
This is one of my favourite black adder sketches so funny love it :)
best blackadder series 2 and 4
Brilliant show, we watched it so often during english class (english as a 2nd language) and it was both fun and helpful
I've seen this about 15 times throughout the years. Quite often the best 15 minutes of television one could ever hope for.
Fry playing Charles I as Prince Charles.....genius.
It's affected me permanently! If someone's boring me and it's appropriate to do so I sometimes say "fascinating! absolutely fascinating....please...carry on" provoking at best a baffled humourous response, at worst some mild psychosis.
Overall - some very memorable quotes from these 15 minutes of bandwidth gold.
And mate, 12 years later it still is
Makes me wish they'd done a Civil War series it would have been superb.
I love British humor. I love #BlackAdder. In all his ages. #RowanAdkinson is a comic genuis!!!
Another Comic Relief bit had Rowan as The Doctor. He was the best one ever 😀
The curse of fatal death czcams.com/video/Do-wDPoC6GM/video.html
Ritchie Blackmore is sooooo good in this.
I wish they'd release a dvd with the Christmas special, the Millienium special and this one collected together.
Hello you from 12 years ago. The Black Adder dvd box set includes all three on one disc
@@daemonartursson7159 Not the two I've seen.
@@wombat10002000 fascinating how you still replied a decade on.
@@ROBOHOLIC1 I get a notification every time someone replies to my comments, so I was notified as soon as Daemon Artursson replied to my original comment a month ago,
Gee, i wish this setting for Blackadder was made into a full blown series from the start of the civil war right up to this episode, but hey, atleast we go this phenomenal comic relief instead! 😊
Reading The Fry Chronicles makes this sketch so much more enjoyable.
There's so many fantastic lines and deliveries in this. "......one more guess."
I laughed so hard I almost got a nose bleed when he came out balancing the pumpkin on his head.
Oh! You have a woman's nose bleed, milord! I wager that nose bleed never dripped into the ocean, triggering an attack by a pack of killer spindly fish.
Well, neither has yours!@@Robkinggozer
@@SamuelBlack84 That's where you're wrong!
@@Robkinggozer Oh my god!
@@SamuelBlack84 Ohh! You have a woman's god, milord!
I watched the whole DVD with all black adder series, best laugh I had in years
'mind sir, or i shall take off my belt and by thunder me trousers will fall down!'
Ah, yes! The inventor of the Ravelling Nancy!
Fry sounds like King Charles III,👍
This Prince Charles impersonation is funnier now he's called King Charles.
@ChildOfTheWilderness first shown as part of Comic Relief's Red Nose Day telethon on February 5, 1988
"Shut up with greatest respect, Your Majesty" XD
One legged hunting tortoises hahaha
@mrsotter19 I found him incredibly attractive in the second season [the Elizabethan era] The hair and beard really suited him.
i would say with total,conviction that this role made atkinson the man he is today, a comic genius,
ROWAN ATKINSON IS THE BEST
Oliver Cromwell is Dim from A Clockwork Orange !
I love Stephen Fry. This is comedy at it's best.
fascinating, absolutely fascinating
Stephen fry steals the whole show 💓💓💓💓😂😂💓💓
"No it's not; it's a large pumpkin with a pathetic moustache drawn on!"
Brilliant specials from Blackadder. 👍
I need the whole series done by Christmas and I mean right NOW! 😍
“Cromwell’s an ugly Devil. He’s got so many warts on his face that it’s only when he sneezes that you find out which one’s really his nose.”
🤣
I so adore Black Adder. And yes, I must agree Rowan Atkinson does better with the facial hair, otherwise not so much. But God is he and Black Adder funny.
Watching this off the back of reading Act of Oblivion and watching series 5 of The Crown. Something of an antidote to all the seriousness 🤣
Blackadder is one of my favorite 🤩 sitcoms and I can’t believe I missed this one of special thanks for sharing this masterpiece of a sketch with us 👍❤️😆
baldrick: ok so its not 100% convincing
blackadder: its not 1% convincing
hahahahaha love blackadder :D
That was completely awesome. Nuff said.
Exquisite writing.
Baldrick: “I just caught me a little windfall.”
Blackadder: “Baldrick, I told you before. If you’re going to do that, go into the garden.”
🤣
Sir Tony Robbins and Sir Rowan Atkinson!
King Charles sounds a lot like the current iteration, Charles III
No watery cholera effluvia, Dr Watson! 😱🙄😂
I love me some Blackadder ! ❤❤
I love this show and i've never seen this before!
I was today years old when I learned the narrator at the very beginning was Harry Enfield! ❤❤
Even funnier now we have King Charles! 😆
Just brilliant
I love this show
Brilliant!
His similies are the best in the world x
Edmund is such a bastard haha Love this show!
Brilliant 😂
Lol "the earl he had a thousand sovereigns hey nonny no! He gave them to the man with an axe oh!" love it!!!
