Blackadder, Blackadder

edited July 2008 in Social Entropy++
This thread is about Edmund Blackadder. He is an incredibly cunning Englishman saddled with two idiots. The series follows four different blackadders throughout four periods in English history; first, the Medieval ages, followed by the Rennaisance, then the late 1700's, and, finally, WWI.

Blackadder is played by Rowan Atkinson, and he is shown here flanked by his two moronic co-stars, Baldrick and Percival. They are both bumbling idiots.

This show is great. There are a bunch of episodes on Google Video. Does anyone else love this show as much as me?

    actually the blackadder = smart, baldrick = stupid paradigm was only created after the first series (where blackadder was stupid and baldrick was smart) so there

    It's implied, they all go over the top in the great push they've been trying to avoid. It fades into flowers.

    Also, I remember Blackadder just being selfish in Blackadder the First and Baldrick constantly coming up with cunningly stupid plans

    so the guy who played baldrick did that show about shitty jobs from the past. that was pretty cool. I also saw some of his stand up and he talked about himself and his past a lot.

    it wasn't gradual at all

    in the first he was stupid

    in the second he was smart

    they changed it specifically because the first season was not especially funny
