Playing William Pitt the Younger was definitely the highlight of my father, Simon Osborne's acting carrier. When he started acting, he said that his biggest ambition was to be in an episode of Blackadder. And in 1987, his dream came true. He said that Rowan Atkinson, Hugh Laurie and Nick Robinson were really nice guys, and that they got on well with him.
so who are you then Osborne the todler , Osborne the embryo , osborne the glint in the milkman's eye no but in all seriousness your dad is awesome
My Dad says "Thank you" :)
William Osborne you're welcome
You ever seen the film 'The Madness of King George'? I would've loved if your father reprised the role of Pitt the Younger. Probably would've hurt the film because of the casting of him was more of a joke to British audiences but I wouldn't have cared.
OK, now I feel ancient, that this young boy now has a child old enough to be on the Internet! LOL (& yes, your dad was brilliant in this episode!)
A true politician: makes a grandiose statement about fighting "sloth and privilege" not even a minute after dismissing Edmund as a "lower middle class yobbo".
If Stephen Fry’s account on QI is anything to go by, jelly blocks are indeed a good target in the posh-er English schools for midnight kitchen raids.
The worst part about Pitt the Younger was his hypocrisy.
@@ArmyJames I thought it was the rape.
😅
@@ArmyJames Like any other politician you mean?
Pitt the glint in the milkman's eye...Classic.
Jolly.....................good🤔
Also a very dramatic name
And We have the amoeba Robert Jenrick standing for Tory leader with his eloquent and ineffective crumpets warming ideas!!😅
William Pitt the elder
William Pitt the Younger
William Pitt the Toddler
William Pitt the Embryo
William Pitt the 'glint in the milkman's eye'
Genius writing right there
"Don't patronise me you lower middle-class yobbo!"
I must use that insult in more everyday occurrences.
whenever dealing with banks and the civil service.
or the DMV
It's "lower middle class", not "lower, middle class".
what flavour is it?
Fulvic Blackcurrant
You could write a very thick book consisting entirely of a list of the perfect moments in Rowan Atkinson performances. My favorite moment in this very strong field is the way he says, "we'll cheat." He doesn't just utter brilliant lines. Again and again, he finds the way to milk his lines for everything they're worth, with the best possible delivery. Ingenious actor.
Mr. Bean
"We shall fight this campaign on issues not personalities." This is so brilliant.
And 3rdly of course, we'll cheat 😂
And thirdly, of course, we'll cheat.
+IJnet The true essence of politics!
What a lark! We paid for this seat and we still have to cheat!
And no matter how many socks a man buys,he never seems to have any
Of course
aged like fine wine
Blackadder III is truly one of the most brilliant television shows in TV history.
Dr. Gregory House of the 18th Century.
Just showed this to my wife. “Pitt the glint in the milkman’s eye.” An unforgettable line of ever there was one 😂
"hot crumpets burning my cheeks with shame"
" I trust you weren't too busy to remove the crumpet"
😂😂😂😂😂
I cant stop laughing at the face Rowan made when he said this😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
To this day that is my favourite laugh-out-loud line in the entire saga! 😆
The look Rowan gives immediately after "hot crumpet burning my cheeks with shame", makes that moment work so well, its credit to the director and cameraman for that.
Brilliant - and then the slight pause from Simon afterwards to let the laughter ride.
‘Don’t patronise me you lower middle-class yobbo!’
‘What flavour is it?’
what's a yobbo?
agenttheater5 basically a loud and arrogant person for example a “football yob” is someone who is loud and aggressive at a football match
"Blackcurrant"
"Bleah."
@@agenttheater5 another form of the word yob which is "boy" backwards.
Haha xD
"I'd rather have a runny nose than a runny brain!"
"Eh?"
Rowan gives the best facial expressions 1:10 i can't stop laughing 😂
+Alen Matibag Ikr XD he's like........wott ._.?
My favorite expression was when The Pinhead of Wales is dictating his saucy "love letter" and the way Rowan raises his eyebrow cracks me up!
Just imagine Blackadder and Dorothy from the golden girls facing off
Their combined glares would level entire city blocks
Well, I mean, he is the undisputed master of doing just that...
"I trust you weren't too busy to remove the crumpet...!"
“Pitt the Glint in the Milkman’s Eye” is one of the best Blackadder putdowns ever.
Some of the best lines ever in this episode.
' he's a violent, bigoted old fool"
" sounds a bit overqualified to me"
Nothing has changed in the qualification level of today's politicians!
"
0:31
“I’d rather have a runny nose than a runny brain!” 🔥
Tim McInerney was asked to play the prince, but did not want to be labelled as an actor that played "silly arse" roles such as Lord Percy. Tim was perfect as Captain Darling. The scene where the driver arrived to take him to the front for the final push was very powerful and sad.
I love the "poo to you with knobs on"
I love how eagerly he says, "We'll cheat!"
"Poo to you with knobs on!"
- William Pitt the Younger
the kid was very good. Surprised he didn't continue in theater
That kid (now probably in his mid 50s)is an amazing actor!!
approx 20 in 1987... he'd be a little older than 50 my friend.
Two sets of triple whammies, brilliantly delivered by Rowan Atkinson:
'Pitt the toddler? Pitt the embryo? Pitt the glint in the milkman's eye?'
'Issues not personalities...only fresh thing on the menu...we'll cheat!'
Pitt the Glint in the Milkman’s Eye..
Just brilliant 😂
Another pearl in the long string of classic, intelligent & superb sit-coms from an age when *quality* mattered. Sadly no more, made extinct by the puerile pastiche served up nowadays. The race to the bottom is too far gone now and we'll not see its like again. Sad, so sad but we can enjoy snippets of this on YT. Thank you for sharing this with us.
That facial expression at 1:10 was golden 🤣🤣
1:08 is the best. Rowan Atkinson is the absolute master of physical comedy.
Rowan's face at 1:09.. Brilliant :o)
It's the exact same look Dorothy Zbornak has to dumbassery in Golden Girls xD
This was even funnier to me when I finally learned about the real William Pitt.
Yeah,apparently he was one of the best prime ministers Great Britain has ever had.
the old adage Anna, fact is truer than fiction. ... there was one monarch who was declared king, he was 3 year old. mind you, he had a 10 year old guiding him through.
Disappointing how little he is mentioned in today’s culture
Jason Garner He was prominently featured in the movie Amazing Grace (2006) played by Bendytrick Cucumberstack, or however it is in vogue to misspell his name. xD The movie is about the cause to abolish the British Empire slave trade.
@@davidw.2791 thanks. I'll give it a look
Gotta love Black Adder. Especially this one.
I love black adder.
1:04 Rowan's face is priceless XD
"Young snotty here"
absolute classic comedy
1:09 Blackadder's like, "What's he looking at?"
How did you get that so wrong?
"and thirdly of course...we'll cheat" 😂😂😂
My fave line in blackadder series 3 ep 1 when blackadder said to the pm "pitt the glint in the mils man eye"
*glint in the milkman's eye.
Now this is intelligent, intellectual, un-glibious comedy.
And yet still lively and goofy and fun
One thing I find humorous in Blackadder.... the silly things that the posh schools did to the pupils.
Use them as a toast rack.
"The greatest victory since the flower arranging team beaten Harrow by 12 sore bottoms to one" .
Atkinsons best ever character
Agreed. Vastly superior to Mr Bean in the opinion of most Brits.
"I bet you can't wait to get back and get that bat in your hand and give those balls a good walloping"
I never understand a word these Britishs are talking about, but it's fun to listen to them throw words around.
Same here, lol. I'm American.
‘Hot crumpet burning my cheeks with shame’
BLACKADDER IS LEGEND :)
Pitt the Younger sounds exactly like Dominic Raab when his dander’s up 😂😂😂
The GREATEST BBC comedy EVER (along with Red Dwarf)!
👍🏻
What a pity the BBC don't repeat this series on TV. They repeat everything else!
Great casting of Pitt The Younger! Perfect for the role.
Gorgeous writing
1:09 That look. 😂
Prince George is hilarious
One of the three greatest TV comedy series (along with Fawlty Towers and Monty Python)
I'd make that four with Only Fools and Horses.
Plus "Are You Being Served" and "You Rang M'lord"
The writers and all the cast, absolutely 🎯
0:50 Boris Johnson
One of my fave episodes.Brilliant thru and thru.Dunny on the Sold it doesn't get any better!!
you can see pitt the younger trying not to laugh
This is precisely how I see Jacob Reese Mogg.
At age 10
I knew I liked Jacob !
I imagine Boris Johnson was like Pitt.
I think that's a bit rough on Pitt the Younger. He's a Whig, not a fascistic Tory.
10 people's cheeks are burning with shame.
Holy cow, that last line really sticks with me based on what's happening in the US right now.
I know, eh? Personality won out over policies in 2020.
I distinctly remember Trump saying, in his concession speech, "Pooh to you with knobs on."
Man could certainly hold a few crumpets.
Yes, massive and unchecked cheating was exactly how the results of the voting were overturned, and the loser was installed in the place of the overwhelming winner.
“Poo to you, with knobs on.”
Make a note of that, Darling. I like it! I want to use it more often in conversation.
I love that 1-second cutaway to Edmund's reaction, like "wait, seriously?"
1:43 is how I started loving Simon 😂😂😂😂😂😂❤️
As an Australian, this is particularly funny as Aus was colonised by writ of George III and William Pitt the younger.
1:09 is just brilliant
1:42 notice Him trying not to laugh
.... we'll cheat.", now there is the ultimate cunning plan...
When I played Age of Empires 3 as the British civilization, my explorer's name was Baldrick Cunningplan. Get it? Like how "Cunningham" is a real name.
Pooh, to you with nobs on! xD
Pitt the toddler? Pitt the embryo? Pitt the glint in the milkman's eye??!
We shall fight this election on issues, not personalities 🤣🤣🤣
The toast-rack gag fell on deaf ears, I fear.
tom kent Wth is a toast rack?
Phil Graham We don't use toast racks in the USA. After we make toast we just put it on a plate.
@@philgraham8213
Or to keep them warm!
@@szqsk8 - putting toast on a plate rather than a toast rack is a sure guarantee that your fresh hot toast will end up soggy within a minute or so.
@@fionatanzer5270 It also goes cold really quickly.
I love this episode, especially the "election coverage". Which is the next scene I think. OMG
But before you say anything about the issue of slavery mentioned, and the attitudes shown therein. I am as much against it as any other African-American. The fact is it happened...No one could have ever been strong enough, smart enough, or even dare put their sheer resources behind its abolition and won anyway. Then replace it with something better, rendering the institution of slavery as absolutely superfluous. Not while so few in power would've lost a lot of money over it's maintenance. Think about it. Slavery doesn't exit now, however, there are always wheels that need to be broken and substituted by something better and more beneficial for all people.
A Normal English Election
The writing and acting in Blackadder Series 2 to 4 was sublime.
Mr. Bean and Dr. House xD
The way I see it is Johnny English and Officer Steady
Funny how everyone treats Blackadder like some stupid guy when he clearly has more wit than everyone else in the show
When the BBC did.comedy!
OH MY THE BEST THING IVE EVER SEEN OH M Y IM LAUGHING
Politics hasn't changed in 200 years!!
Uncles before 0:03 and after 2:00 seeing the kids.
Dr House and Mr Bean ::))
"...hot crumpet, burning my cheeks with shame!"
12 people faced the hot crumpet of shame...
Pitt the toddler Pitt the embryo lol brilliant
0:23 Mr Pitt is the Prime Minister!
It could have been worse. Like...
- Mr. Johnson is the Prime Minister!
Where can I buy a jacket like the PM's? Damn!
Ah, the Lord Privy toast rack.
"And now I call upon the leader of the opposition ... to test me on my Latin vocab"
I don't understand a word they are saying, but I laugh with the people😂
The anachronistic jokes make me extra giddy for some reason. :-D
high days of savage English comedy...
1:30 Did Rowan just guide him through the scene? Wonder if that was intended.
+GunaBr0ckcl1mb1ng You'll probably find that they rehearsed that scene so many times that Rowan got so use to Pitt the Younger walking away that he did a hand gesture to indicate him walking away, he probably didn't even realise he did it.
+David Ryan Rowan was and always is a stickler for rehearsal. The amount of time spent on every line and movement was extraordinary for a sitcom. He wanted to get 100% perfection, and so I guess that throughout the course of the week these three would have rehearsed this very short scene many times.
+John King That's pretty much par for the course for Rowan, indeed. He's a perfectionist and will hone every detail of a performance down to the letter.
That is right. I have seen behind the scenes of some Blackadder episodes, and my God he breaks down each line of the script and works over it for ages to make sure every line, not just his, works perfect. What an actor, what a performer and what a kind man, as he cares not just about his funny lines, but his other cast members too.
John King
And it shows. I can't recall a single thing he's been bad in. He was awesome at the Olympics in London.
Corbyn could take some lessons from this.
Biden certainly did, particularly that last part.
@@garrick3727Yes, that he did. Or more precisely others who were more intelligent than him, and just as vile, did it for him.
Brilliant, I love it!
how are there ten people that DON'T like this?
Two of them will be Americans who are pissed off there aren't any subtitles.
The remaining eight will be Conservative MPs. 😂
Hot crumpet burning my cheeks with shame 😭😭
Just Picture Boris Johnson as William Pitt the Younger
prithee, my dear; you do "the younger a disservice".
