Nah, blackadder was okay. It was fresh then. The problem is all the imitators who stole that format and made it one of the foundational british sitcom jokes.

The problem with Blackadder is that it's aged badly. It was cheap when made, but now it looks awful

I've seen US reactors doing it and most jokes go over their head, as they obviously don't know UK history
>>
>>215455136
Only the first series has aged badly, the others are fine. But of course if I were to watch it with fresh eyes now as a retarded zoomer, it might not hold up.

Harry Enfield's sketch about the making of "Blackadder" is funnier then anything in the actual show.

>A show from 40 years ago has dated humour

Holy fuck stop the presses!
>>
>>215455293
Eh it was alright. Show is still funnier
>>
>>215455335
I wouldn't even say its dated, it still holds up especially when you get to know the characters. Its just general well written humour that can still be enjoyed. I mean shit like White Chicks, that's dated humour.

I just wish there was a way to get it without the laugh track

The bongs know when to stop and move on. Ricky Gervais only made two seasons of the Office and that was enough to make an impact while burgers milked their cheap unintelligent knock-off for countless uninteresting seasons.
>>
>>215454730
that demographic didn't like blackadder, it was too high brow for them, the demographic you're attempting to parody hated "alternative comedy"
>>
actually did a quiet laugh at this.

OP, what you'd write """ironically""" please turn it into a screenplay. thank you.

Season 1 isn't THAT bad. The witchsmeller episode is pretty good. Brian Blessed is fun. At least a decent amount of it is filmed on location which is nice.
It is the worst season but I think it's a bit over hated. The show is obviously way funnier when Blackadder is the smartest man in the room though. Never feels right having Baldrick be smarter than him.

Harry Enfield was always too cynical for my tastes, all he can do is make fun, his own stuff is absolute garbage, like Kevin & Perry. He couldn't dream of writing a show like Blackadder.

To be fair he's better than Sacha Baron Cohen, the last "British" comedian of note, before comedy vacated the Isles entirely.

i don't find THE Black Adder funny, but it does make me want a genuine medieval series.

fortunately Robin of Sherwood came out around the same time.

This is exactly right.

>>215455769
2 vs 3 I think is down to personal preference but its hard to argue with anything else.
The specials are a bit more varied in quality. The final one with the time machine is kinda bad, but the Cavalier and Christmas Carol ones are pretty good.
>>
>>215457059
>2 vs 3 I think is down to personal preference
Yeah they can be interchangeable.
>>
>>215457059
I tend to put them on even footing 2 and 3 are both good just in different ways

is this ACCEPTABLE subject matter for comedy?
or more importantly, would it have been a genuine consideration historically? i mean you're a woman in the middle ages, what else is do you have going on?

3rd>2nd>4th>1st

The specials are underrated and fit perfectly in the historic periods between seasons

4th has been overrated. The 3rd if peak Blackadder
>>
>>215459970
4th is peak because its blackadder at his peak of intelligence and cunning even a smidgen of bravery and honour but at his lowest in terms of personal power and influence in a complete no-win situation, its the perfect conclusion

This, the gag was fun at the time but got overplayed to death

I remember submitting a script to the beeb years ago and they explicitly requested that people don't send in anything which had 'that's about as x as a y with z' type jokes, they probably got tons of them

I mean, adding Brian Blessed to anything is just cheating.
>>
>>215460382
Yeah this.
Blackadder himself in 4 is the perfect level of sympathetic and witty asshole and the setting was a perfect stage for the progression of the characters and the series thematically.
The finale is also far more soulful than it had any right to be for a cheap ass sitcom.
I got no problem with anybody who finds season 2 or 3 funnier, but Goes Forth just has everything in perfect balance for what it is
>>
>>215460823
you also need a specific kind of actor/dynamic to pull it off for instance you can't write a john cleese/michael palin joke and have some other people doing it, it doesn't work
