That's a plan so cunning you could stick a tail on it and call it a weasel.

Baldrick, you wouldn't recognize a cunning plan if it painted itself purple, danced naked on top of a harpsichord and sang: 'Cunning plans are here again'.

[–]croatianpride 0 points1 point ago

It is indeed one of the greatest British comedies ever. With you, the question may be more about whether you enjoy British comedy or not. Black Adder is British comedy, and it is British comedy at its finest.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I definitely have had limited exposure to British comedies - or any British-produced show in general - with all of my past viewing being from late night broadcasts on PBS. Blackadder did have some parts that I found funny (for example, one of the episodes was about rewriting the dictionary after throwing it into a fire), however a lot of it seemed to require knowledge about the subject that I didn't have and I'm not particularly interested in to begin with (especially a lot of history related subjects). Other British productions just have this feeling of staleness to me for some reason.

Rowan Atkinson is famous for so much more, take a look at his stand up, and watch some Blackadder (This cap is from the second season). If you have Netflix, the whole series is on there. You will not be disappointed : )

[–]BenCelotil 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

This cap is from the Third Season.

FTFY.

First Season - Prince. Second Season - Lord. Third Season - Butler. Forth Season - Soldier (Captain I think).

I like the irony that in every life Black Adder aspired to be of the station before - Prince to King (his father), Lord to Prince, Butler to Lord, and the Captain to Butler (or pretty much anyone not in a war trench).

And Baldric became gradually stupider.

This isn't Mr. Bean, this is Blackadder, it's at least a decade older than Mr. Bean. Rowan Atkinson starred in that as well.
