    Default Blackadder - Comedy Genius

    Hey...

    I'm a huge Blackadder fan,more seasons 2,3 & 4 since in season one they had different writers, Baldrick was SMARTER than Blackadder and I just dont really like S1. However I do own all seasons on video and think they are great. I think they just get better and better as they go on.

    The Black Adder - Pretty mediocre
    Blackadder II - Very funny
    Blackadder the third - Hilarious
    Blackadder goes forth - Genius

    So any other BA fans out there?

    (Sorry if theres a similar topic, im still pretty new around these parts.)

    Yes Blackadder is possibly the best comedy.

    My favourite is the one with the fifteen minuters.

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    I completely agree. What annoid me was the BBC releasing a DVD set with all the extra programmes soon after I had bought the standard edition. Grrrr.

    Isn't the new set about 50 quid, though? The old one was substantially cheaper.

    The Royal Flying Corps episode in Series Four truly is a classic.

    Funny what sticks with you. To this day I can't see a squirrel without thinking how much I hate them with their long tails and their stupid twitchy noses. Or the wind making a sound that sounds like phwooooar...crikeeeeey...

    That is true. I can't look at a turnip nowadays without thinking of Baldrick and mistress Ploppy.
