Blackadder
|
|
I love, love BlackAdder, my favourite is the second series ^_^
|
Blackadder's probably my favourite TV show ever. It's just fantastic. The fourth series, especially. Anyone who isn't moved by the last episode has a heart of stone, I swear.
|
I adore Blackadder, especially season 4 and 2. So many of my favourite comedian actors in the same series.
|
The ending of the last series makes me cry sometimes if I'm in a particularly weepy mood
Series 2 with the Queen and Nursie though - soo funny |
|
The Christmas one is funny, I've not seen the Millenium one though
|
I like Season 2 the best, they seem to have more fun with that one or so it seems to me. Plus Rowan Atkinson looks quite handsome in the Elizabethan garb.
I think all Americans who swoon over House should be made to watch this series and see how long it takes them to figure out who Lord Percy is.. |
Lol yeah it makes me laugh so hard when I hear about Hugh Laurie being some sort of sex-symbol in America XD

I can remember being really amused at the casting of Hugh Laurie when I first heard about House. He has such a reputation here for playing daft upper-class blokes, so a grumpy American guy was quite a departure. He does it very well, but it's really funny comparing it to his stuff in Blackadder and Jeeves and Wooster. |

I heard Stephen Fry talking with Michael Parkinson's show about just how different the American accent is to Laurie's usual accent. (18/5 -07)
Fry: ][...] And we had luch together, which greatly annoyed him in some ways, because he [Laurie], for very good reasons, playing an American in his series House, keeps his american accent all day. Be rather stupid to dive in and out of it and so, of course he finds it very embarrasing when an English person comes because he goes "hi, great to see you, Steve. How you doin'" you know and you "Hugh, snap out of it man. What are you...". on the other hand, if he lopes forward going "hello, what ho? hello, hello" the Americans' going "what is Hugh Laurie doing?", so he's kind of trapped between two accents. A clip of the Interview can be found here. It's hillarious! Did they visit the future in the Millennium special? I thought that was in the Christmas special. Maybe it's in both? |
I've never watched it, but I only know of it because one of my boyfriend's black schnauzers is named Adder. It sounds like a good show, though. |
Blackadder is love. x3
I like the third one best, thinking about it. "Baldrick, have you any idea what irony is?" "Yeah. It's like goldy and bronzy, only it's made of iron." Ohh, I'm going to have to go and watch it, now. <3 |
Blackadder is love! I grew up watching it. You really have to feel sorry for Edmund in.. Blackadder the third I think.
Baldrick is love too! 'I have a cunning plan' And the prince/whatever he is really needs to grow up. I haven't watched it in forever but now that I've read this I have the random urge to go and watch it o.0 That and Mr Bean. My favourite episode has to be the last episode of the World War II themed one. I remember watching it at school in my very last history lesson xD |

Oh, that's funny... I love Stephen Fry <33 He ought to be made King or something. |
I love Blackadder! :D It's been so long since I've seen it though. I live in the states, so I don't get a whole lot of opportunities to see shows like that, but when I was young my mom introduced me to a lot of British comedy and other older shows since they were on a few cable channels more frequently. She used to quote Monty Python to me long before I understood what it was from. XD
|
xD Blackadder amuses me so much. I have all of it on an external drive and have been meaning to rewatch it for a while now.

It's like they apply to everything. <3 @ Fiarra - I rewatched it all at the weekend. xD Not exactly properly, but I had it next to me on the portable DVD player whilst on the computer and I would pick up occasional lines and laugh heartily. xD |
xD I grew up listening to Blackadder goes Forth on tape in the car since I was a tot. Most of the jokes went straight over my head (listening to it now I'm GOBSMACKED at how naive I was.)
Then I met a couple of friends at school who were nutters about it as well, and one of them COLLECTS DVDs, so we used to slouch around all day and watch Edmund, or Monty Python, amongst much else. x3 And we both had copies of the scripts we would read. xDD See the little goblin, see his little feet, and his little nosey-wose, isn't the goblin sweet? YES! Luck, wahey, geddit? Sounds almost exactly like f--- (the end of the most immoral episode ; D) And I got to see Back and Forth at the Millenium Dome with my Daddy, which was spectacular (we got it on DVD after as well.) And the Christmas Carol was on at Christmas. ^ ^~ OHOHOH. There was a newspaper article about how they were planning a fifth series! I'm still waiting quietly to hear more... >__> And, my little claim to fame, I was at a Goodwood Festival of Speed one year and I passed Rowan Atkinson by inches, INCHES, and didn't realise. My Dad laughed so hard at me. Dx I was so sad I hadn't realised I was standing next to him. AnybodylikeJohnnyEnglish? ;3 |
omgomgomgomgomg
xDD I had Goes Forth on tape too! xDDD Aaaand I've collected all the DVDs (including the xmas special), aaand I saw Back and Forth at the dome! Meh, I don't want another series really. >.< I think they should leave it as a legend. They don't want to do a disappointing series and ruin it. Anyway, the end of Goes Forth was a beautiful ending. Lol, you could've asked for his autograph. xD Yeah, Johnny English was a fun movie. ^^ |
