I can remember stopping at the border on the A68. There was a litter bin in the car park that said, “Please don’t drop litter in Scotland”. Some wag had scrawled underneath, “Drop it in England instead.”

Jokes about knobs and boobs will always be funny, unless you believe in the “modern audience” shit. I refer you to Jimmy Carr:
I thought it was Ben Elton who always defended knob-gags?
Yes and he wrote Blackadder. Nuff said.

Blackadder (except season one) is the best television in the history of television

Amazing they continued after 1 because it was abysmal. 2nd series was epic, third brilliant and the end of 4 goes down as the best and most heartbreaking finale ever. Game of Thrones take note.
Watched it so many times I can quote pretty much the whole thing. The cameos were the highlights. Steven Fry’s duke of wellington and of course the utterly brilliant lord flash heart. “Tell the king I’m not dead, I just ran out of juice. And before all the girls t start killing themselves as there’s no point living anymore, I’m talking petrol. Wouldn’t want them on my mind when I’d rather have them on my fact. Woof woof!”
“God it’s like Crufts in here”
Classic, might have that line slightly wrong but then I try not to google stuff to look clever.

I only caught a few episodes of Blackadder here and there. Might make it my mission to catch the lot over the holidays, seems productive!
Worth it, just swerve the first series.

Finally watched the first series of Blackadder. It was very weird.
I can tolerate the first series. It’s odd but has it’s occasional moments. Second series was always my favourite overall. Third has Prince George which was genius. Fourth as mentioned above has such a poignant ending for a comedy series.
