    Racist humour? Where was that?

    The only sort of abuse i saw in Blackadder was animal abuse. After all, i'm sure Baldrick counts as an animal, right?

    Tough question. All four series are very quotable, and I have watched every episode at least three times over the years. I like the medieval setting best, but dislike the stupidity that the first series contained. I did love Edmund's little wife though. I am very fond of the extra sarcastic Blackadder in the final two series, but didn't like the WWI setting. Series 2 had the best balance between witty humour, setting, and supporting characters. Queenie was brilliant, once you got over the shock of seeing one of our more famous monarchs as a giggling moron. Series 3 is very close, but the idiot prince regent is more irritiating than funny.

    The only series, Ive watched all episodes of is Blackadder goes Forth, so I voted that one. Although I liked the other Blackadders too like the Napoleonic-era, which I think is 3.

    I like Blackadder the Third the best simply because of one episode.

    "I the acting returning officer."
    "Mr A Blackadder, who jumped in at the last minute to help when the previous acting returning offcer accidentally brutally stabbed himself in the stomach whilst shaving."

    Pure brilliance!

    And the sheep as well.
    "Edmund, do you have a woman in there?"
    "No, mother"
    "A man then?"
    "No, no"
    "It isn't a sheep is it?"
    Maa-maa.

    Series 4 was very good, although the ending was a bit sad

    Wink Re: The best Blackadder

    it´s hard to pick.........the first season lags behind the others....all 3 others are comic briliance through and through...one of my favourites of all times....

    i voted for goes forth because of the amazing ending for what is a comedic show.....but the third is amazing just because of the elections episoded

    i´ve also watched all of the stand alone shows....of those...the christmas carol is the best.....

    I liked the first one best, where Blackadder was an absurd whiney git and Baldrick was a savant. Appealed more to the socialist, under-dog loving side of me. Thereafter, Blackadder becomes a "Flashman" style anti-hero and the humour at Baldrick's (and everyone else's) expense seems a little cruel. Also, as I remember it, the first season had a more absurdist edge to it.
