"Deny everything Baldrick" is up there with "Dont tell him your name Pike" (Dads Army)
Don't forget "And remember, you know nothing", from Basil to Manuel!
That one joke in the whole show. ✊🏼💦
... and "infamy! Infamy! They've all got it in for me!"😄
The very idea of a friendly firing squad is just brilliant!
Also, Baldrick's "Deny everything" bit cracks me up every time.
I agree =] Baldrick is so goofy.
Friendly fire init!!
"Defense council is fined £50 for turning up."
Great line.
Defence fgs
"I love a fair trial!" 😂
The bloopers for this one are brilliant, they were making Stephen Fry crackup the whole time.
@Billy Reynolds yeah he keeps blaming Hugh Laurie
I will have to check those out.

I remember Stephen Fry saying he wasn't sure he could pull off his Character as an older General in his 20s but he NAILED it!
Fry was pushing 32 when they made this although I get the point.
@@normandavidtidiman9918 OK so playing 50s in his 30s :)
Wow, I totally forgot just how young Stephen Fry actually was during Blackadder, everything about his manner has always just made him _seem_ middle aged decades before he actually was.
Stephen Fry seems to be one of those screen performers who've always appeared to be the same age. And we're talking about a career span of just over 40 years now.
General Roland Bradford of the British Army was 25 years old when he died in WW1. It actually wasn't that unusual to have generals in their 20's, though they were usually appointed on their connections rather than their abilities or through promotion. Bradford on the other hand was promoted through the usual route and even won the Victoria Cross.
In my opinion, the problem with season 1 is that Blackadder is the "idiot", whereas in later seasons he is the intelligent one (which is where Rowan Atkinson shines). It's also interesting that as a general trend, Blackadder slowly slips down the class structure as seasons progress, but becomes more intelligent and down to earth which is why we can empathise with him. Season 1 isn't terrible, it's just not the same "Blackadder" in my opinion.
Spoiler.
@@remmingtonsteele2287 he has a point, all hes saying is he gets better as the series goes on, not impossible to imagine
This is a common misconception about Edmund's character in season 1. He was not an 'idiot'. He was actually quite resourceful in his ambition and cunning, but what let him down was his tendency to be sniveling and cowardly. He also had a distinct lack of confidence when forced into hazardous situations.
While the character does retain some of the same traits as seen on season 1 throughout the rest of the series, there is a mood shift, where we see that although Blackadder is still cowardly at times, he is able to use his wit and intellect to get himself out of trouble, and he oftentimes adopts a 'devil may care' attitude as a coping mechanism. This is in stark contrast to the S1 Blackadder who becomes giddy with terror, and can barely maintain his composure. These things don't necessarily make him an idiot.
Another factor to consider is his status as a prince, 2nd in line to the throne. His ambition is naturally more heightened than his familial descendants. He spends a lot of season 1 being 'drunk' on the idea of one day becoming King.
These are just my thoughts from my own observations of this great series.
The firing squad, "we aim to please". Great reaction and upload Josh 😂
"Whoopsie" is indeed a euphemism, similar to "sissy". Love this episode, one of my faves. Also I know people are down on season 1, but it does have Brian Blessed and a couple of great episodes in my opinion ( The Queen of Spain's Beard and The Witchsmeller Pursuivant).
and there's a memorable Rik Mayall bit in one of the episodes as well.
As well as Peter Cook.
@@SeeDaRipper... True
I think Series 1 gets a hard time simply because it's not series 2,3, or 4. But I think it's very good in its own right. I really enjoyed it but it has a different tone to it due to how it was filmed and the lack of a laugh track.
Brian Blessed as the King has some similarities to Stephen Fry in this series.
The only one that stank in series 1 was Rowans Blackadder.
This is one of my favourite episodes. The firing squad are such a cheerful, friendly and sentimental bunch, that you'd never want to meet but of course, 'they're just doing their job'. Such a brilliant joke. 🤣
It's a shame that Josh skipped over a lot of the firing squad sequence. Best part of the episode in my opinion.
We aim to please!
Series one is underrated. There are many funny moments. The characters are different, but that doesn't make it bad.
"I must say captain, I've got to admire your balls" :D
RIP Jeremy Hardy, definitely a great comedian to look up
'Your' *fixed*
@@SeeDaRipper... Fixed :)
That was a great line =] He is hilarious.
I got to see Jeremy Hardy do a show while I was a student nearly two decades ago. He was recording a radio show at The Platform in Morecambe and I was able to get a ticket. I knew him from Blackadder and the panel show If I Ruled The World and really liked his style of humour. He was on fire that evening and did not disappoint. A very funny man, much missed.
@@lauradawson7964 amazing. I luckily got to see him during a recording of The News Quiz. Knew of him best from the radio show "I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue" on which he was always great
I’d forgotten how great this series was. Sometimes I’m not sure whether I’m laughing at you laughing or the jokes or sometimes laughing at the jokes first and then your reaction laughing at the jokes.
So cool to see an American appreciating Blackadder, big hello from Australia!
The Witchsmeller Pursuivant from Season One is *well* worth watching...One of the best episodes tbh (even if a slightly different type of humour from other seasons)
Is it a yeah or a nay, it's neigh.. funny
look at his hair
the hair proves it !!
I really like the Infanta episode with Miriam Margoyles and Jim Broadbent too.
there was a line missing which I was hoping would come up; Firing Squad leader asks Blackadder last request, Blackadder says yes, could you pause between the words , aim and fire. Certainly sir ,how long? oh I don't know says Blackadder say 30- 40 years.
Every time I see Stephen Fry in that part, I remember an old Company Commander we had, affectionally known as 'Big Wullie', who had an uncanny resemblance. 6ft 4', Walrus Moustache, red cheeks and nose, had the same voice, mannerisms and made the same noises. Baaah! He was loved by everyone he met. Legend.
The Firing Squad element was the most memorable part of the episode for me. It was all great but the standout performance for me was Steven Frost as the leader of the firing squad.
Favourite episode of series 4 😂😂 the court scene alone!
Season 1 isn't terrible, I quite like it if I'm honest. Season 2 is the best imo
The witch smeller perswevant is the only thing I can remember from series 1
Episodes 1 and 6 of season 1 are worth a go, although the characters are totally unlike what they (their descendants) became.
Series one IS different. Unique comedy at the time. Lots of famous people in it. You can't knock Blackadder, times were different then.
Also it has a very realistic feel to it.
Thanks bud I will keep that in mind.
@@lowlygrinder2977'realistic' is not a word I'd choose to describe season 1. They used more real life settings (in the form of outdoor scenes, like the countryside and the castle, and also Rowan riding a horse, a skill he has had since he was quite young), but that is where the 'realism' begins and ends, to be frank.
The conversations and dialogue in subsequent seasons seem far more realistic to me.
The Baldrick courtroom scene never gets old. And Stephen Fry's role as Gen. Melchett is probably one of da best performance in comedy tv. history for sure 💯
Plus those friendly firing squad chaps is a different level of twisted humor 🤣
Before checking out season one I recommend giving the 1999 new years special a watch when you're done with season 4, it's a great conclusion to the series & has most of the actors throughout the series come back
Blackadder goes back and forth
@@89Keith Yeah that's the one
General Sir Anthony Cecil Hogmanay Melchett is one if the great characters of British History 😁
"That pigeon couldn't carry the King, it hasn't got a tray or anything".
Brilliant
I think people are too hard on season 1. It's not actually bad at all, it's just a different kind of humour to the rest of the show and doesn't quite measure up in quality to the rest. It's the black sheep of the series, but I really feel most of the criticism it gets is in comparison to the later seasons rather than by its own merit.
I love the fact Blackadder is at the very bottom, and works up throughout
It did have Brian Blessed
Mariam Margolyes is Fantastic in season 1 as The Spanish Enfanta, which is basically a princess. Although later seasons were better, season 1 is still worth a watch as actually had a bigger budget. And it's also worth it to see Brain Blessed's performance as the King.
I will keep that in mind thanks bud.
Don't forget Jim Broadbent as her translator. And then of course they ended up as Professors Sprout and Slugworth at Hogwarts.
She was better in series 2, 👊 wicked child!!!
@@speleokeirand they were also coupled together again as Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in the Blackadder's Christmas carol special.
Series 1 is amazing.
Every time I hear the words "Meet and greet" I think of the Firing squad meeting Blackadder......
The first season of Blackadder is worth a watch, but it had different writers (if I remember correctly one of them was Rowan Atkinson himself). In season 2 Ben Elton (who is well known for satirical comedy) took over the writing and completely changed the premise and the main characters of Blackadder and Baldrick, turning it into a completely different show. Now whenever people think of Blackadder they think of the Ben Elton version and the first season is Blackadder in name only.
Should point out that ‘spunk’ 100 years ago doesn’t mean the same as it does now.
However that’s obviously used for comedic effect in this.
Spunk used to mean ‘courage’….now it means…well you know what it means 👍
It still has two meanings in the UK even today but yes it was a play on words 👍😂
It still does mean the same, it's just that it rarely gets used in that context nowadays.
Yes all day...Season 1 is a must see..I was a little sad you skipped it....It's like Red Dwarf season 1, where it all began.....And in IMO season 1 is as good as blackadder 2,3,4 but slightly more historical so you'll need to brush up on medieval English history...Great upload by the way, keep them coming.......Great channel
That's the thing with polling popular opinion, people see that something comes at the bottom of any list and assume that it must be rubbish. But when all options are great in their own right you're likely to overlook something good which you might be missing out on.
It's not a list where it comes at the bottom of a list of 100 series, it's on a shortlist of 4 very good series.
If you forget about judging its value when ranked with the other 3 series it's a fine series in its own right.
One of my favourite episodes, but season 3 is still the best. Definitely do 1, it is very different but worth watching nonetheless. Plus it has BRIAN BLESSED.
2 or 4 are the best by a mile although I still like 3.
When Stephen Fry did the program"who do you think you are" he saw a picture of his uncle from the early 1900s and I kid you not they were identical.
Oh wow that is awesome.
Have you seen the stand-alone Christmas Special episode yet? For me, the best Blackadder episode ever made, watch it every Xmas.
It brings joy to my heart to learn that you’re a Blackadder fan. One of the funniest shows ever made!
They made a couple specials, too.
They did a version of A Christmas Carol. All I'll say is it was made between seasons 3 and 4, so you've seen enough of the regular show to fully appreciate it.
And then they did a special when the millennium came. Serves as a satisfying finale.
Plus the very short 'Cavalier Years' episode/special, where Stephen Fry does a hilarious (now king) Prince Charles impression.
In 1922, after the Irish Civil War, IRA ideologue Erskine Childers was sentenced to death by firing squad, and he did shake hands with every member of that firing squad.
He insisted his son not be bitter on his behalf but instead shake hands with those who signed his death sentence.
Irish Civil War?
I loved Blackadder season 1 and think you should definitely check it out man.
I just realized all four seasons have an episode where Blackadder is going to be executed and has to get out of it, and yes I count the episode in the second season where he'll be executed for messing up as an executor.
Season 3 is one of my favourites, especially when they finally got rid of a dead 'servant'... Finish Royale 😁
really enjoying your reactions dude :) have you watched any Jeeves and Wooster? Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie as a useless lord and his butler, set in the 1920's...they're quite fun
Thanks bud I appreciate that. I have not checked that show out yet I will add it to my list.
The funniest of the driest ,Dry English humour when the Firing Squad turns up for a meet and greet with Blackadder..........
READYAIMFIIIRE!!!
“Flanders Pigeon Murderer!”
That word actually means courage and determination.
What word is he referring to? I missed it.
@@charleshowie2074 Spunk.
@@charleshowie2074 Spunk. @1:23
I couldn't hear what Josh was saying, but if he was talking about the word 'spunk' then yes the word means fortitude of character and strength.
It's one of those old-timey words which used to be used more commonly, especially in the context of the era this series was set in.
@@CoffeeConnected I'm British, I just literally missed what the word was at the time.
My god i forgot how much that epsiode cracks me up.
I once had the good fortune to be dealing with a customer in a call centre who also enjoyed balck adder and set me up for the my speckled jim line which got me some funny looks but was a great call
I think that cricket bat is the same one Vyv missed both Rick’s legs with.
Stephen Fry is the man in this season...as you continue to watch you'll see why
'THE FLANDERS PIGEON MURDERER!' 😁😁
I love your laughter!
Deny everything, Baldrick!
is your name Baldrick?, no sir - pmsl
In my opinion you should have watched season 1 at the start. It's very funny but has more slapstick and visual comedy. By leaving it til after the other seasons it will be seen in an even less favourable light when compared to the later seasons. Do check it out.
Yea would make sense watch a show in order...
This was my favourite episode from series 4
Great episode.... The Flanders Pigeon Murderer lol I will now sentenced the Deceased... Wow
"Spunk" ...... Bravery, bravado, courage......
Season 1 is not all bad, there are some funny episodes. I would particularly recommend episode 4: "The Queen of Spain's Beard".
It's about Blackadder trying to deal with the prospect of an arranged marriage. Please check it out! :)
Ah yes the READYAIMFIRE!!!🤯 Episode
Season One episode 5 was the first time I saw Black Adder. I was instantly hooked.
Season 1 is fun.
The issue with season one is that Blackadder is the dumbest person in the room. Always. The quality of the surrounding cast is there but the main character isn't. I like it but it's criticism is more than justified.
What I do really enjoy is that the further the Blackadders slip from power, the smarter they get. Hence the more witty they become the more they are trapped by their social station and forces around them. The Prince is an idiot, the Lord is a bumbling everyman, the princes butler is a scheming thief and cynic and the army captain is a world weary philosopher desperate to escape.
I love thT progression through the ages.
You couldn't criticise it at the time, because it was new, and nothing to base it on. The character changed 180 from then on. Wise of Blackadder to move forward chronologically. They had more cash to spend on later episodes, the comedy always was the same. The whelm of supporting characters meant this could have only been done in the UK. A US version would have been like tripe as The Office told us.
Spoiler.
The word 'spunk' does not mean what you thought it meant. It means feisty, having lots of get up and go.
It was a double entendre.
I like season 1 even with a simpering Blackadder and a somewhat intelligent Baldrick, also it provides an interesting contrast as he goes from dumb prince to down to earth working man across several generations of status sliding in each season.
READYAIMFIRE!
Look for blackadder with baldwick in the ‘time machine’ about the middle of the half our comedy rowan Atkinson &balwick meet Robin Hood played by rick mail-brilliant
Missed the bit with the case of the bloody knife.
When George said about giving the Germans a taste of our british spunk, it used to mean courage/spirit before becoming the term we associate today
For the heathens, if it wasn't for season 1 there wouldn't of been any more to follow, so obviously it did something right. Admittedly Blackadder wasn't his usual sarcastic self, but the writing was there. And let's not forget it was one of Peter Cooks final performances, starring alongside Brian Blessed, Jim Broadbent and Miriam Margolyes.
This is a misconception. Season 1 did not do well, so they altered the script to be more like the pilot, in a last ditch effort to stay on the air.
@@remmingtonsteele2287 It's not the point, as the first season had finished. They greenlit a second series on the proviso that the script was reworked.
09:26 I had thought that colloquialism meant "inclined to father illegitimate children." As in "Whoops! I got her pregnant."
One thing you can say about Baldrick, he can't be accused of disobeying orders.
Small fact some people might not know, but they would only ever load 1 gun in a firing squad, so they wouldn't actually know who killed a fellow soldier.
Great, this whole serie is hilarious, I wreely enjoyed this 🤣
If you want to complete your Blackadder experience, then watch series 1, the Christmas special, and the millennium special.
But, for me, series 2, 3, and 4 are the core. They're the ones to definitely watch.
Those who dismiss season 1 are not true Blackadder fans, poo to them with knobs on.
"we aim to please"
Baldricks escape kit is the best thing ever
Brilliant idea to have a wooden duck to hide under in the pond,if cornered
Season 1 was written by Richard Curtis and Rowan Atkinson. The other seasons were written by Richard Curtis and Ben Elton. That accounts for the change in tone. In addition, season 1 was an epic with lots of sets, outdoor sequences and casts of extras. It absolutely bled money. To do the other series, they had to cut way back on expenses so smaller, more reusable sets and a tighter cast of characters were used and the writing was tighter as well.
As others have noted, Baldrick is smart in 1 and dumb in the others while Blackadder is the opposite. But I'm not so sure he gets smarter as the series progress. I think that in some ways, he fixes the fatal flaw of his previous character only to introduce a new flaw. So in season 2 he is smarter, but broke. In 3 he has money but is directly subordinate to George. In 4 he is the boss of George and has some independence and just wants to be left alone, but has bad luck.
This episode deals with the harsh reality of the way the ordinary rank and file in the British Army were delt with during ww1. Over 300 British troops were executed on orders from the British high command.
Amazing series. 👏
Love these. Look forward to Private Plane!
Leaving Season 1 for last makes sense. Once you love Blackadder, it will be that much more fun for being so weird.
You MUST watch series one!
Hiya Josh, what's your favorite British Comedy? you must watch Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em, there was only 24 episodes made (this was in 1970s) so the cast are wearing flaired trousers, I wont spoil it for you but its well worth a watch, this is Choppy in Whitehaven, Cumbria, England
They don’t write them like this anymore
It is without doubt, the best episode of the series.
"Got to admire your balls"
Stephen frost is great. I’ve only ever seen him in Who’s Line. He should have been in much more stuff.
Season 1 has no relevance to series 2 onwards. It’s a completely different show the blackadder / baldrick characters are very different.
Ignore all the disparaging comments about Series 1. It is very different from the others because Rowan Atkinson was the co-writer rather than Ben Elton. Still my 2nd fave of the 4.
Those that asked you to skip season one obviously never got into Blackadder until season 2!🙄
I liked season 1.. If only to see the difference between when Rowan Atkinson writes for himself, as opposed to people writing for him.
the head of the firing squad is my neigbour
Spunk used to mean bravery or heroism
I knew a geezer in Peckham called Charlie Spunk about 40 years ago. Nice bloke was Charlie...
Why can't I see anything? Is it a copyright issue?
The next episode is the best one of all, probably.
You should do Season 1
Series 1 of blackadder was different but very funny
My favourite episode!
season 1 was good
"No!"
Stephen Fry is great in this one
Dougle or Baldrick?
Series 1 is better than series 3 for me. series 4 & 2 are the best
