[GeorgeW88]

One of the most moving pieces of comedy I've ever seen. Only the British can merge something tragic like WW1 with humour. This officially makes the British the funniest the funniest people on earth for me.

Rowan Atkinson can make words funny, only by pronouncing them in his own way.

[mzbs123]

@GeorgeW88 and he does just that in top gear. he just names cars, in his own voice. worth watching



[IAmCaptainMarvel]

@GeorgeW88

And thank you, in return, for spelling "humour" with a U. Much gratitude.

[GeorgeW88]

@IAmCaptainMarvel

There's no English like British English

There's no comedy like British comedy

[IAmCaptainMarvel]

@GeorgeW88

Wow, nobody who's not from the UK has ever actually said that to me before. Thanks. So many fellow Europeans nowadays use the alternate forms of it, it's good to see some people still remember who the original English are. I'm serious, thanks.

[GeorgeW88]

@IAmCaptainMarvel

I've learned British English at school and I hung out a lot with British people. Nothing beats British slang imo. But my uni forces me to write American English. I have to admit that American spelling often makes more sense to me. It's more like Dutch I reckon. But if I have to choose to speak like Rowan Atkinson and David Mitchell, or like George Bush, the choice isn't hard :)

[IAmCaptainMarvel]

@GeorgeW88

I've been told this by other Europeans as well, specifically a German person who I once spoke to told me this. He said he chose to write in our form, but universities chose the American form. But our form is consistent with England's history.

For example, spelling "armour" with a U, has been around since the Norman invasion of England (in Ænglisc it's a completely different looking word altogether).

In the end it's just consistency vs deliberate alterations.

[IAmCaptainMarvel]

@GeorgeW88

It's strange, the West Germanic languages seem similar, yet different. It's all based on evolution though, isn't it? English spans from the Ingvaeonic branch, Dutch the Istavaeonic branch, and German Erminonic branch. As a result, some sentences can be easily understood amongst the three. (Afrikaans is even easier for me to understand).

I mean, let's test.

Nederlands - Hallo, mijn naam is George

Deutsch - Hallo, mein Name ist George

English - Hello, my name is George

[GeorgeW88]

@IAmCaptainMarvel

True! Both my English and German are very good (or 'rather excellent' as R. Atkinson would say), but it's fairly easy for the Dutch to learn them. I've been told numerous times how much Dutch is a mix between English and German. An Irish friend of mine called it 'the most made up language ever'.

I'm not a language expert, but I think it's a mix between evolution and geographical factors.

[GeorgeW88]

@IAmCaptainMarvel

Afrikaans for instance is based on 17/18th century Dutch, but I have more trouble with understanding it than with German.

Dutch is based on the Holland-dialect and German (Hochdeutsch) is from Niedersachsen in the NW of Germany, close to NL. And it's funny to see that German follows Dutch in its evolution. Many German words are similar to old-Dutch words that we don't use anymore. And the Genitiv has disappeared from Dutch long ago and the Germans will follow.

my favourite way a line is spoken by rowan: 'so everytime I have drank your coffee since I have in fact been drinking hot mud.'

[lizziemaia]

[LawlersX204]

[BillJonesuk]

[lizzielonglegs]

Watching this for my homework.

Uhhh, life as an A Level English Lit student is sooo hard..

[xBabzzx]

@lizzielonglegs same, only i'm in year 9, and i have to write an essay on it :/ x

[lizzielonglegs]

@xBabzzx Haha, I was being sarcastic! Blackadder's an amazing series, and you have an awesome teacher if they're letting you write essays on it. (If you want to be really nerdy, compare it to Journey's End and say it potrays class struggles within WW1 through the characters' relationships with General Melchett).

Helping young child with homework= good deed done for the day.

[xBabzzx]

@lizzielonglegs haha! thankyou :) very helpful :P

[emilylolcoates]

@xBabzzx i had to do that today -__________- what was yours on? Mine was something like was it inaccurate or accurate or something!:)

[xBabzzx]

@emilylolcoates i had to do it on something about how they use comedy and tragedy together :L xx it was soo boring.. apart from actually watching it :P x

[nerfapocalypse98]

"George at current the British empire covers a quarter of the globe whereas the German empire consists of a small sausage factory outside Tanganyika so we can hardly be absolved of blame on the imperialistic front"

"Yes quite right sir, (mad as a bicycle)" love that part.
