I was wondering what comedy my fellow red devils enjoy and what beats all others.
My choice is Blackadder and I mean all four series not to mention the specials including 'A Christmas Carol' and the English Civil war one.
My favourite series are the First Medieval series and Blackadder goes Forth which is a brilliant series because it epitomises to a tee the ineptitude of the generals of the army.
Although of course Atkinson gets credit for the brilliantly cynical views especially in Blackadder goes Forth ..'For us, the Great war is finito, a war which would be a damn sight simpler if we stayed in England and shot fifty thousand of our own men a week' but I think Tim McInnery in his part as Captain Darling is excellent although he has a part in all four main series. He also plays Lord Percy in the first two series and a French aristocrat in the third series. I like Brian Blessed as King Richard though there are many actors and actresses that should take credit but are not as well recognised.
Some lines that are quite funny are the folllowing-
'Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation'
'The path of my life is strewn with cowpats from the devil's own satanic herd'
'If we lose, I'll be chopped into pieces. My arm'll end up in Essex, my torso in Norfolk and my genitalia stuck up a tree somewhere in Rutland'
'A man may fight for many things:his country, his principles, his friends, the glistening tear on the cheek of a golden child. But personally, I'd mud-wrestle my own mother for a ton of cash, an amusing clock and a stack of french porn'
Of Course Baldrick and Elizabeth I are very good but I like the actor who played the dead Richard III in the first episode. Brilliant:D
What about you??
