Blackadder	comment	A tastefully vicious collection of British comedies which aired on BBC One in The '80s, all centring around various generations of the Blackadder family as embodied in its sole visible member, Edmund (Rowan Atkinson): a cynical, snide, and outright caustic British Anti-Hero (he would be a Deadpan Snarker if he could just stop sneering) who never manages to succeed at most of his schemes, but never quite loses either (except at the end of each series, where he usually either dies horribly or wins spectacularly). Each Blackadder in each generation is aided by a Bumbling Sidekick in the shape of his corresponding Baldrick (Tony Robinson), a filthy, ignorant manservant and dogsbody of considerably unhealthy habits and preoccupations. His typical foil is a classic Upper-Class Twit of far higher social station than his own, on whom he is forced to serve hand and foot.The first series, written by Rowan Atkinson and Richard Curtis, featured Blackadder as a hapless loser, Baldrick as his more cunning servant, and a series of Shakespearean in-jokes. Much of the humour was reliant on the sort of rubber-faced comic buffoonery that Atkinson would later employ in Mr. Bean. The series utilised lots of expensive location footage but was not a ratings success. Nonetheless it was recommissioned for a second series (albeit with a drastically reduced budget), which, after a change of direction, and writers, Growing the Beard (literally in the lead character's case) and became extremely well-loved. Series Two saw Ben Elton replacing Atkinson on the writing team, the Blackadder character repurposed as the Deadpan Snarker, and a greater emphasis on clever dialogue, running gags, and historical subversion. The retooled show went on to become a smash hit and beloved comedy institution, although it has resisted several attempts at revival.One of the most impressive aspects of the show was the subtle differences between the various incarnations of Blackadder: The ambitious but spineless Prince Edmund the Black Adder, the dashing but impulsive Lord Blackadder, the cool and ruthless E. Blackadder Esq. and the weary, rather less evil, but more witty and intelligent Captain Blackadder all had much in common character-wise, but were recognisably different people. For some reason, each incarnation was lower in social order than the previous one. A similar variation can be seen in the Baldricks, who always seemed to be at or around the bottom of the social order, but did get more noticeably stupid as time went on.Besides the great writing, Blackadder's success rests on the shoulders of stars Rowan Atkinson and Tony Robinson, whose comic instincts combine to produce some of the most delightfully snarky wit that has ever been seen on television. A similarly skilled supporting cast, including BRIAN BLESSED, Peter Cook (both in the first series), Miranda Richardson, Hugh Laurie, Tim McInnerny, Rik Mayall, and Stephen Fry just added to the pleasure and the outrage.The original four series of Blackadder are:

He mentions that he did enjoy being a soldier once, but that was during the African colonial wars, when most of the tribes they fought didn't have guns. When 3 million heavily armed germans showed up, it took the shine off the job.

Hot potato, orchestra scores, Puck will make amends" (the last being a quote from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream). The DVD subtitles have it as "Hot potato, off his drawers, pluck will make amends!" (Pluck being the plucking of each other's noses to apparently exorcise the evil spirits). This is accompanied by a brief game of patty-cake, spinning their arms like wheels, and then honking each others' noses; as the episode progresses, Mossop starts whining and gingerly petting his nose.

Blackadder / int_259d5879	comment	Anachronism Stew: In "General Hospital" Blackadder refers to the universities of Oxford, Cambridge and Hull. University College, Hull was not founded until 1927 and did not become the University of Hull until 1954. Then again, it was a trick statement of sorts... The name 'Kevin' would have been very unusual for an Englishman born presumably in the 1880s like Captain Darling. At the time, and until quite deep into the 20th century it was mostly confined to Ireland or Irish emigre communities. Captain Darling could have been born in Croydon to Irish parents. Blackadder and Darling refer to Queen Victoria in "General Hospital", despite the fact she would have been dead for 16 years by this point. In 1917, the current ruler was her grandson King George V.

Blackadder / int_2e8441c9	type	The Bad Guy Wins
Blackadder / int_2e8441c9	comment	The Bad Guy Wins: The first series starts with the bad guy, Henry Tudor having effectively won already. Although he loses the Battle of Bosworth Field in the first episode, he eventually ends up claiming the throne 13 years later after Percy accidentally poisons the royal family to death, then for the real kicker he rewrites the history books to erase Richard IV's reign altogether. Blackadder II ends with Prince Ludwig killing everyone in The Stinger. Blackadder the Third ends with the most ruthless and evil of Blackadders usurping the identity of Prince Regent. Blackadder Goes Forth ends with all the main cast members falling victim to the madness of modern war, the real villain of this instalment. And to Melchett's questionable strategies. In contrast to the second and the third series, the ending isn't Played for Laughs. Blackadder Back and Forth had the modern incarnation of Blackadder manipulate history via time travel to become King of the United Kingdom and making Baldrick his (puppet) Prime Minister. Blackadder: The Cavalier Years ends with Blackadder defecting to the Roundheads and ratting out both Baldrick and that baby that in real-life grew up to be Charles II. Blackadder's Christmas Carol may very well combine the most extreme example along with a subversion: It ends with the uncharacteristically kind-hearted Ebenezer Blackadder realizing that, if he adopts the evil and selfish ways of his ancestors, his descendants will one day RULE THE UNIVERSE. The subversion comes however when he loses the chance of a lifetime to become rich and powerful precisely because of becoming THAT callous. So its a win for the Blackadder family in one of the ultimate examples of this trope but a loss for Ebenezer himself.

Blackadder / int_3c51db1c	type	Zany Scheme
Blackadder / int_3c51db1c	comment	Zany Scheme: Blackadder tends to have one for every occasion. Baldrick also cooks all sorts of these up... problem is, with his intelligence, most of them border on the ridiculous (such as in series 3's "Nob and Nobility", where he suggests to Edmund that they wait until their heads have been cut off by French revolutionaries before they make an escape, in the manner of a headless chicken). His series 1 plans were perfectly feasible and at times even brilliant. That said though, Edmund does take him up on one plan in series 4. Percy also had his share of these in the first two series. Sometimes the situation is shown as being so desperate that Blackadder is forced to resort to one of Baldrick's plans due to the lack of any other alternative (for example, trying to rewrite in only two nights the dictionary which took Samuel Johnson ten years to write). Blackadder's main objective over the course of each series always relates very much to the time in which he lives. In the first series (medieval times) he wants to take over the throne. In the second (Elizabethan) he is trying to at best wed Queen Elizabeth (which at the time would have made him king) or at least earn her favour. In the third (the Industrial Revolution) he wants to make more money and in the fourth (World War I) he just wants to get out of the trenches.

Blackadder / int_46b5a2f2	comment	Historical Character's Fictional Relative: The first Blackadder himself is a fictional son of the mostly-fictional King Richard IV, who in real life may have or may not have been killed in the Tower as a boy by his uncle Richard III (or someone else) and at the very least was never King. It follows that all other Blackadders are descended from him, though each descendant's lot degrades over time: from prince to lord to butler (to prince) to soldier. Edmund's "friend", Percy is a fictional member of the House of Percy, an English noble family that had great power during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. In the first series, Percy is identified as the Duke of Northumberland and in the second series, he's Lord Percy Percy, the heir to this title. In what is possibly a deliberate error, although the Percy family were Earls of Northumberland for a long time, the title of Duke of Northumberland didn't exist until the 1550's and no one with the last name of Percy held it until 1766.

Blackadder / int_4781adbb	comment	Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Blackadder, to a very slight extent. He's still not remotely a nice person, but he can bring himself to feel sympathy for Darling and wish the others good luck in the final episode. Despite being a soldier, he is the only Blackadder in the four seasons not to commit murder — unless you count Speckled Jim. Though it is mentioned that he has done in the past, at Mboto Gorge. According to Darling, they "massacred the peace-loving pygmies of the Upper Volta and stole all their fruit." He also seems genuinely horrified when he learns he's sent an innocent woman to the firing squad in "General Hospital"; hard to imagine his heartless Regency ancestor being so shaken. He is genuinely complimentary regarding George's painting ability too (though planning to use it for his own ends). Sincere compliments from a Blackadder are as rare as something very rare indeed. It's worth noting that this Blackadder, in contrast with his forebears, is uninterested in scheming his way to power or wealth. He's merely trying to save himself. Too bad Failure Is the Only Option. Flashheart may also count. Although he's a lecherous egomaniac, he still agrees to come and help George rescue some "noble brother flyers" (granted he didn't know it was Blackadder and Baldrick) and even he is disgusted when he learns Darling was just going to leave them to rot.

Blackadder / int_479f9ad0	type	Characterization Marches On
Blackadder / int_479f9ad0	comment	To those familiar with the later series, The Black Adder can seem rather odd. This includes the different characterisations, the larger ensemble of characters, differences in the writing (Ben Elton replaced Rowan Atkinson as a writer from Blackadder II onwards), as well as the significantly larger budget which allowed large sets, crowd scenes and location shooting. The later seasons would focus more on dialogue and characterisation. Other, minor differences include each episode having a Cold Open, the usage of supernatural elements, and the characters frequently speaking in a pseudo-Shakespearian manner instead of the modern English used elsewhere. Also, this one had more of an ensemble cast. It's a bit of a shock to fans of later series to see that Tony Robinson is not actually mentioned in the opening credits but Baldrick was more of a supporting character here and it was only really from Blackadder II onwards that he was promoted to the second lead. Ironically, in the original pilot things were much closer to the later seasons. Edmund was a witty Deadpan Snarker and Baldrick (not portrayed by Tony Robinson) was a Bumbling Sidekick. Percy... is Percy.

Blackadder / int_4e3d253b	comment	Downer Ending: The entire cast sans Melchett (the least sympathetic character in the series) are massacred, and theyâ€™re all so broken before they go over the top. Blackadder completely fails in his goal of escaping the trenches, Darling is sent to the front lines by Melchett under the insane belief that he wants to be with everyone else for the big push, and George has his optimism broken when he realises that all his friends are dead. The worst part is that the series ends in 1917 — thereâ€™s still another year of the war to go. Whatâ€™s remarkable is that the same basic ending was played for laughs in series one and two. invokedReality Subtext is to blame for the Mood Whiplash. To put it into perspective, it aired 10 days before Remembrance Sunday with no complaints whatsoever. (Well, almost none — one woman wrote to the Radio Times to ask why a comedy would want to show people the terrible things that happened, reminding her of her own husband. Another woman wrote in to Points of View thanking them for such a beautiful tribute. Ben Elton's uncle, who was a refugee from Nazi Germany and deeply supportive of the British Armed Forces, also gave his nephew an earful, but changed his mind and apologized after he saw the second half of the episode, something he hadn't done when it first aired). Though the original ending planned, as seen here, wasn't nearly as dramatic or moving — general consensus is that it was a good thing they changed it.

Blackadder / int_55cd4012	comment	Whatâ€™s remarkable is that the same basic ending was played for laughs in series one and two. invokedReality Subtext is to blame for the Mood Whiplash. To put it into perspective, it aired 10 days before Remembrance Sunday with no complaints whatsoever. (Well, almost none — one woman wrote to the Radio Times to ask why a comedy would want to show people the terrible things that happened, reminding her of her own husband. Another woman wrote in to Points of View thanking them for such a beautiful tribute. Ben Elton's uncle, who was a refugee from Nazi Germany and deeply supportive of the British Armed Forces, also gave his nephew an earful, but changed his mind and apologized after he saw the second half of the episode, something he hadn't done when it first aired). Though the original ending planned, as seen here, wasn't nearly as dramatic or moving — general consensus is that it was a good thing they changed it.

Blackadder / int_67d90683	comment	Fictional Political Party: Going hand-in-hand with the Election Day Episode trope (above), the episode "Dish and Dishonesty" uses these, too, in its parody of British election conventions. After the constituent of rotten borough Dunny-on-the-Wold (consisting of nothing more than a tiny plot of land, many farm animals and only one voter) suddenly died, Prince Regent and Blackadder decide to run Baldrick as their own candidate and tip Parliament in their favour. Baldrick runs on behalf of the "Adder Party", a name which becomes much more appropriate when it turns out that Blackadder was both the borough's Returning Officer and lone voter after both died in freak "accidents". Other fictitious parties on the ballot included "Keep Royalty White, Rat Catching and Safe Sewage Residents' Party" and the "Standing at the Back Dressed Stupidly and Looking Stupid Party" (whose party line stands for "the compulsory serving of asparagus at breakfast, free corsets for the under-fives (girls, obviously) and the abolition of slavery" — though the last one was just put in as a joke). The last two are a Shout-Out to two real minor perennial candidates at British elections at the time the show was broadcast — Bill Boaks, who usually stood as something like "Democratic Monarchist Road Safety White Resident", and Screaming Lord Sutch of the Official Monster Raving Loony Party (which, in their heyday of the 70s and 80s, proposed ludicrous policies. By the 2010s, a couple of them had actually been proposed and enacted by the government — invokedmuch like the reference to the abolition of slavery was implied to be).

In the latter case, the full number of men under Captain Blackadder's command is revealed in the final episode, although even then it is rather small. These were mainly caused by the show lacking the budget to do the organisations justice so a suspension of disbelief is required. This is particularly evident in Back & Forth where they finally had the money to show Queenie's throne room and court in its entirety. The opening credits of "Goes Forth" at least shows Captain Blackadder at the head of a large platoon of soldiers as they're parading, and other soldiers in the trench are often referred to in conversation. It's almost a dead cert that, by the time they go over the top, the daily attrition of trench warfare had reduced his command to those unlucky few.

Even Blackadder can't mock or belittle his fellow soldiers anymore, he offers them a solemn farwell, and all the characters are killed in the trenches.

We occasionally get glimpses of a past where he DID appear to be just as evil as his ancestors, being involved with the ugliest parts of British colonialism and all, but being involved in a war that isnâ€™t just a Curb-Stomp Battle on either end seems to have given him a Heel Realisation as to the futility of horror of war in general, to the point where heâ€™s merely a bit of a dick (something itâ€™s hard to blame him for under the circumstances, only George and Baldrick donâ€™t deserve it and worse, and heâ€™s noticeably more friendly, albeit still snarky and insulting, with them — more friendly not being a high bar for an 'Adder), but by no means actually EVIL. In fact, when he eventually realised this truly is the end for him and all his Vitriolic Best Buds as well, he even drops the â€˜bit of a dickâ€™ part.

Of course, Blackadder isn't actually bold; his plan is to sail to France and hide out, then return and claim to have sailed around the Cape. Unfortunately, the ship captain he picked for his expedition isn't capable of navigating even as far as France — they wind up in Australia, returning with a boomerang for the Queen.

In the Christmas special he robs an innocent old woman of the gifts that the Prince gave her.

The book Blackadder: The Whole Damn Dynesty also mentions an ancestor who helped build Stonehenge and another who insulted Boudica.

However, two major differences from real history are that Elizabeth I and the soon-to-be-George IV both got killed and replaced by Prince Ludwig and Mr. Blackadder respectively. Blackadder: The Cavalier Years for the most part follows the lead of the second and third series in putting a humorous spin on the English Civil War and the execution of Charles I, but ends by implying that the baby that in real-life became Charles II after the Restoration will end up being killed thanks to Blackadder's treachery, presumably meaning that Blackadder must have found a peasant baby to replace him. Averted by Blackadder Goes Forth which, with only two exceptions — Manfred von Richthofen and Field Marshall Haig — deals entirely with fictional characters and events within the larger setting of World War I. The sole difference between the events of the show and real-world history would be that von Richthofen got shot and apparently killed by Flashheart in 1917, rather than getting killed when his plane was shot down in 1918. Blackadder Back & Forth gives us two alternate histories; one after Blackadder's first trip through time, in which the French conquered the UK in the 19th century, and one after Blackadder knows that he can change the present, in which the Blackadder dynasty has been in power for centuries, and abolishes Parliament in the previous year.

Given that Chaplin gets his own back at the end of the episode (by agreeing to free distribution of his films among the British Army on the proviso that Blackadder is the projectionist), this may be more an affectionate homage than anything else — every other character loves Charlie Chaplin. It's also a running joke throughout all the series that Blackadder hates any character considered by modern day to be a genius; Shakespeare, Walter Raleigh, Samuel Johnson, etc.

Near the end of the episode he is forced to project Chaplin movies for the other soldiers. This was something of an In-Joke as Rowan Atkinson is a big Charlie Chaplin fan.

The Opening Narration of the first episode states that King Henry VII Tudor, who historically won at Bosworth Field, rewrote the history books to ruin Richard III's reputation and erase Richard IV's entire reign after gaining the throne sometime after the finale.

Then, when this is foiled by Melchett's overheard remark that he hopes Blackadder hasn't just decided to feign madness by putting underpants on his head and stuck pencils up his nose, Blackadder realises that he can call in a favour from General Haig, whose life he saved during the Boer War. This Hope Spot lasts until he actually calls Haig, and Haig agrees to save his life; he duly advises Blackadder to put underpants on his head and stick pencils up his nose. "They'll think you're mad and send you home. There, favour returned." In the last moments, just before being sent over the top, all the guns go quiet, and George, Baldrick and Darling all assume that the war must have ended:

Actually Truth in Television, albeit earlier in the 15th century than when this episode is set (it's specifically stated as 1487). As a result of the Western Schism, there really were two Popes (one in Rome, the other in Avignon) from 1378 to 1409, following which a third Pope was elected; the situation was resolved in 1417 when two of the Popes abdicated, the other was excommunicated and a new, single Pope was elected. In "The Black Seal" Philip of Burgundy locks Prince Edmund in a jail cell with a bunch of snails, and Edmund is absolutely terrified for some reason. There are actually a number of medieval manuscripts that have knights battling snails illustrated in them. It's something of a mystery because no scholar is sure about what it means, whether symbolic, or a joke ("look at the silly knight battling something as harmless as a snail"), or perhaps just a medieval meme with no central origin.

Blackadder / int_e9e35e8f	comment	Exact Words: Baldrick's introduction scene has him carving his name on a bullet, reasoning that the common idiom 'a bullet with your name on it' means that he will be safe so long as he is the one with said bullet. Happens often after Blackadder issues orders to George and Baldrick intended to cover up his latest scheme or mistake, but fails to account for their stupidity: After learning about a possible escape from the trenches for a talented artist, Blackadder plans to use George's surprising artistic talent to his advantage by claiming George's work as his own. He orders Baldrick and George to only speak with his express permission, which results in some awkward silences when the General arrives and tries to strike up a conversation. Later in "Captain Cook", Blackadder and his men are sent into No Man's Land to draw enemy troop dispositions. When George remarks that it's too dark to see, Blackadder realizes that they can just make anything up and get themselves out of danger. He encourages George to "use [his] imagination"...which results in a picture that's light on arms factories but has plenty of elephants. In "Corporal Punishment", Blackadder orders that if asked any questions, they "Did not receive any messages, and definitely did not shoot this delicious, plump-breasted pigeon." Unfortunately, when General Melchett arrives and asks Baldrick for the time, he then repeats Blackadder's ordered phrase exactly, letting the dead pigeon out of the bag. Later, at the court martial for this offence, Baldrick is called as a witness. Blackadder's only instruction to him is to 'Deny everything.' Hilarity Ensues.

Edmund recalls that the one time Sir Talbot did manage to attend the House of Commons "He passed water in The Great Hall and passed out in the Speaker's chair." note It would have been better if he'd done it the other way round. Sleeping in Parliament, even in debates, was not uncommon right up until it was televised in the 1980s (and for a short time afterwards. The Speaker's chair, meanwhile is equipped with a chamber pot and curtains to accommodate exactly the need in which Sir Talbot found himself. Admittedly it's intended for the use of the Speaker, without whose presence Parliament can't sit but still.

Baldrick doesn't like long books, y'see.) And Samuel Johnson agrees that Blackadder's book is a masterpiece, pronouncing it the only book superior to his dictionary.

He does this by dressing up and acting Camp Gay. Later, his father sees him like this and greets him with "Morning, Doncaster!". Even the peasant whose wife he tries to marry tells his wife that Edmund isn't the Prince, he's the Earl of Doncaster. A bit of a meta-joke, as Brian Blessed is from Doncaster. At the start of the first episode, St. Ralph the Liar is mentioned as one of the greatest liars in history who are still outdone by Henry VII. Later in the same episode, it turns out that the battle takes place on Ralph the Liar's Day. Before the battle, Edmund murmurs that if Richard's side loses, his private parts will wind up in a tree "somewhere in Rutland". As part of Richard's speech, he tells his troops "consign their parts most private to a Rutland tree!"

Blackadder / int_fe64d5a1	comment	Evil Is Petty: Edmund's evilness is always small and petty as it is directed at the small and petty such as Baldrick, whom he beats and insults, Percy and whoever else is insignificant enough that he can get away with, while he himself reacts with Disproportionate Retribution whenever he is on the receiving end of any insult and all of this while never stopping to try making the most out of a short-term profit which explains his Con Man ways despite being an aristocrat.

Blackadder / int_fea27091	comment	Buffy Speak: Blackadder: "Disease and depravation stalk our land like... two giant... stalking things." Also: "We're about as similar as two completely dis-similar things in a pod." In "Ink And Incapability", Baldrick describes the dictionary as "the big papery thing tied up with string" and Dr. Johnson as "the batey fellow in the black coat who just left". Blackadder follows up with saying that "the booted bony thing with five toes on the end of my leg will soon connect sharply with the soft dangly collection of objects in your trousers!"

Blackadder / int_ff7f34c5	comment	Pet the Dog: In the final episode Blackadder treats Darling very gently after Melchett sends him to the Front, respectfully addressing him as 'Captain Darling' when he shows up at the trench (somewhat reminiscent of King Richard and Edmund in the finale of the original series), and a few moments later asking him how he felt about going over the top. Pretty moving stuff considering they have spent the last five episodes hating each other. It is possible that Blackadder's main reason for hating Darling was that Darling had succeeded in what Blackadder had been trying to do for the entire war; get the hell out of the trenches. When it became clear that both he and Darling were not getting out of it, he didn't have any reason to hate Darling any more (although there's not much chance of Blackadder liking him any more because of it).
