[Inbar253]

About a month after I first saw this episode years ago, we started learning in class about WW1. I didn't learn anything new from that class

[Joezzown]

HOUSE!

[SGRev1]

Wow, you guys watching Blackadder in history class are so lucky. Here in the United States of America, all we've got as visual aids in history class are textbooks and slide shows. I literally have to watch YT videos and do other research in order to get a better idea of what is going on.

:(

[SGRev1]

Blackadder forgot to mention Italy as a part of Germany and Austria-Hungary's alliance. Well, I don't know if it would matter, since Italy betrayed Germany and Austria-Hungary and joined the Allies in WWI.

[MrJizmonkey]

@SGRev1 The Italians changed sides? thats a shocker

[mxgirl918]

brilliant piece of writing. i would've laughed even without the audience's laughter.

[AlexandraRosalita]

We watched this in our History lesson. I think the teacher forgot about the bollocks :)

[Mozzarab]

Yet some idiots still blame Serbia for WWI although she had nothing to do with assassination and was herself invaded bu AU and Balkan front was of lesser significance.

[YourProfessor]

@Mozzarab Well the Black Hand did.

"It was bollocks". Lmfao British comedy it isn't what it used to be.

[EragonFiresword]

B'aaaaaaah!

[Goodiesfanful]

"How did we get from the one case of affairs to the other case of affairs?"

I'm always impressed at how Baldrick manages to say something so sophisticated there.

And I think Blackadder's view of how WWI began blows all the historians away!

those who disliked this couldn't find any ostriches to shoot when they were hungry

[TheLalala1729]

'Archiduke shot an ostrich cause he was hungry'

0:36 You can see him think ''Here I am, with my underpants on my head and two pencils up my nose, and I'm still the sanest perons in the room''

[11strelokfan1000]

[juresaiyan]
