Black Adder

Just a great character. :-)

:hi:

I'm too lazy to start a copycat thread.

We`ll go no more a-Roving by The Plaid Adder, Democratic Underground, Spetember 1

I think Rowan Atkinson is so funny and kind of sexy, too.

black adder, black adder,
he's very bad indeed!

(Arrrgh! Earworm!)
Thanks for nothing!
:bounce:

Although the episodes from the Middle Ages aren't quite as funny as the rest of the series.

I'll cut your head off! :D

The funniest part of that...she also played the evil stepmother who controlled the horseman in Sleepy Hollow. :evilgrin:

The sound of hoofbeats cross the glade,
Good folk, lock up your son and daughter,
Beware the deadly flashing blade,
Unless, you want to end up shorter,

Black Adder!
Black Adder!
He rides a pitch-black steed,
Black Adder!
Black Adder!
He's very bad indeed,

Black, his gloves of finest mole,
Black, his codpiece made of metal,
His horse is blacker than his vole,
His pot is blacker than his kettle,

Black Adder!
Black Adder!
With many a cunning plan,
Black Adder!
Black Adder!
You horrid little man!

Lord Flashheart tweaked the Adder's beard.
From now he always shall be single.
To fall in love with boys is weird,
Especially boys without a dingle.

Black Adder, Black Adder, his taste is rather odd.
Black Adder, Black Adder, the randy little sod.

Lord Flashheart, Lord Flashheart, I wish you were the star.
Lord Flashheart, Lord Flashheart, you're sexier by far.

You know, that episode where Edmund (or was it Baldrick?) ran for office, and cheated his ass off...I used to think that was really funny...then Florida happened...now it just makes me cry. :P

The beauty of Seasons 3 & 4 is that there are so many great insults with "George" in them that apply so very well to our own George. For a while, after 2000, I was using these:

"Prince George, described by his party news sheet as 'a great moral and spiritual leader of our age,' but described by almost everyone else as 'a fat, flatulent git'..."

and

"I want to say a word about the disgraceful circumstances under which this election is being run. We _paid_ for this seat, and I think it's a damned liberty we should have to stand for it as well."

This one is even better for the most recent campaign:

"I smeared my opponent, bribed the press to be on my side, and threatened to torture the electorate if we lost. I fail to see what more any self-respecting candidate could have done."

C ya,

The Plaid Adder

one so cunning, you could stick a tail on it and call it a weasel.

I loved Black Adder so much, it was such a creative and funny show.
