Melhor comédia britânica

[Khorazyn]

Concordo... considero que o BlackAdder is the finest comedy England has ever produced. BlackAdder's witticism is as sharp as a very sharp thing that has just been sharpened.

Com diálogos tão eloquentes quanto estes:


"Edmund:
It's green.

Percy:
Yes, my lord!

Edmund:
Percy, the colour of gold, is gold. Whatever you have discovered if it has a name would be called green.

Percy: [on discovering the secret of alchemy]
Oh Edmund can it be true, that I hold in my mortal hands a nugget of purest GREEN??"

"Edmund:
Right, Baldrick, let's try again, shall we? This is called adding. If I have two beans, & then I add two more beans, what do I have?

Baldrick:
Some beans.

Edmund:
Yes...& no. Let's try again, shall we? I have two beans, then I add two more beans. What does that make?

Baldrick:
A very small casserole.

Edmund:
Baldrick, the ape creatures of the Indus have mastered this. Now try again. One, two, three, four. So how many are there?

Baldrick:
Three.

Edmund:
What?

Baldrick:
And that one.

Edmund:
Three...& that one. So if I add that one to the three, what will I have?

Baldrick:
Some beans.

Edmund:
Yes. To you, Baldrick, the Renaissance was something that just happened to other people, wasn't it?"

Tenho dito.
