Haha, Rowan Atkinson

He also played the fop in the Jeeves and Wooster series with Stephen Fry as Jeeves.

You want to see a role reversal? See Steven Fry as Jeeves, then watch Black Adder Goes Forth and see him as General Melchet.

"You're right. Oxford is a complete dump!!"

Yes! Melchett is hilarious!

"Darling, make note of the word "gobbledygook". I want to use it in sentences more often".

Classic.

"He did!! He shot my Speckled Jim!!"

Great. Now it's late and I'm gonna have to watch that before I go to bed, or else I'm not going to sleep.

"We didn't receive any messages and Captain Blackadder definitely did not shoot the delicious plump breasted pigeon, sir."

"You want to be cremated, Baldrick or buried at sea?"

I love his stuff!

But I rarely get to see it. I saw some on my local PBS station a while back. The Mr Bean Christmas episode was awesome. He ends up directing the Salvation Army band and makes them swing it a little. And stealing the top part of the town Christmas tree...genius.

And then they played Blackadder. "Poverty and deprivation stalk our land like two gigantic stalking things."

Then they played another Blackadder. The one with a time machine, where he punched Shakespeare in the nost in the name of everyone who would ever have to do a term paper on Shakespeares work.

Wow. Just wow.

That would be Blackadder Back & Forth, the movie with HL&SF in really short Centurion skirts.

Rowan Atkinson does my head in. He can go from genius like Blackadder - surely one of the funniest TV series' of all time - to utter, utter cack like Mr. Bean.

His quality control circuit needs to be replaced.

(Apols to all Mr. Bean fans.. I can't bear it. Sorry!)

What don't you know Shakespeare?
Oh, you mean the inventor of the ballpen?

Seeing this thread inspired me to rent the Mr. Bean collection this weekend, that is how i am spending my rainy day.

Wow. Just wow.

And for forcing us to watch endless hours of Kenneth Branagh.

I still think the first series of Blackadder was the best.

"I am NOT a eunich!!"
"Well, you sure sound like one."

The first was ok, IMO. That's a good episode, though.

"See that? The Duke of Edinburgh. He's as scottish as the queen of England's teats...uh, sorry, your majesty."

I like Blackadder the third best.

"A man may fight for many things, his country, his friends, his principles, 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 sack of French porn."

No, I don't have that one memorized. I had to search for it.

 

[Vorago]

The third season is indeed the best one

 

[Steph Dawe]

"Ah, Blackadder. Notice anything unusual?"

"Yes sir, it's 11:30 in the morning and you're moving about. Is the bed on fire?"

 

[Eric Cameron]

The third season is indeed the best one

"Our play is entitled; The Murder of the Foul Price Romero, and his enormously bosomed wife."

"The violence of the muder and the enormity of the bosom are totally justified artistically."

[NewWaveBasser]

Too many people say I look like Mr. Bean...

...not Beckham, unfortunately... but I do have obsessive-compulsive disorder like he does. Oh, well...
