No U, eh? I thought fellow Europeans were taught how to spell English the English way. A shame.
Anyway, it is pretty much. But again I have to stress "English humour" rather than "British humour", because I'm afraid there just aren't any Welsh or Scottish actors in the programme. Sorry.
I like the way blackadder is swearing all the time. Where normal people use one or two words he instantaneously spits out half a book.
But I wonder if the brits really think that germans are like in this sketch. Of course it is exaggerated for comedic effect but still a bit weird though.
Nah, of course not. Or at least the English don't anyway (although one Scotsman is mentioned at the beginning). This is one of the few times in Blackadder where we DO actually see the Germans. All the characters are caricatures, Blackadder is a cynical bastard, George is amazingly naive, Baldrick's an idiot, Melchett is insane, Darling is practically a manservant and Flashheart is a personification of the stereotypical WW1 English RAF pilot.
Somewhat different after `Blackadder goes fo(u)rth´ of course! Since I am a north-german guy, I have a closer relation to the british as other germans - AND as a historian my knowledge about the past is also not typical `german´! I could say `brits are those, who had that same inheritated despise for the french´ OR `they are that kingdom with many german regents´ - OK: I see You mostly as genuine funny lads, who won´t ever understand US because you already did, haha!!!
Ich hasse nichts mehr, als wenn im Sport jemand unverdient gewinnt. Wenn dieser Sieger dann auch noch ein schlechter Sieger ist, dann schäme ich mich meistens für ihn. Ich habe mich also schon desöfteren für die Bundesnationalmannschaft schämen müssen - viel zu oft...
The best way to get a good feel for german is to listen constantly to it - thats why I listen to soo much english as I can! Btw. I am very relieved, that I have not to learn german myself - it is a chaotic and artificially developed `tongue´, that allows a lot of freedom in grammar, but it needs an incredibile amount of accuracy to sound right (only a few germans speak good german, I dont even know if I do). Deine Rechtschreibung ist sehr gut, Dein Satzbau is englisch:)
@11Kralle You are correct about the French, us Brits dont like them much....or the yanks, and we are Germanic ourselves as we are Anglo Saxons, our Queen is part German so I guess we are all ralated, its a shame about the 2 wars we had and the football. LOL
Just think about the hundreds of wars, we´ve been together;)
About football: I would say the mere fact that it is `genuine´ british should be a comfort for whatsover! Personally, I like the european martial arts most, which were the traditional the stronghold of germany...
@11Kralle Actually this dosen't really show how we think of germans, the character is really mocking how germans are portrayed in some of the really bad war films, so really we're mocking ourselves, Its somthing we english do alot.
Typical, haha! I think the blackadder-show gives a good picture of the pre-fascist-german (the hun...), which was given by the newspapers back than. Knowing about the SS, Stalingrad a.s.o. makes it somewhat predictable, but I find that special `german´ touch really nice! It is quite entertaining and I would like to see a german tv-pendant to this - we even got enough funny people for such a show, but they stand no chance against the mainstream. So, Blackadder is my top-comedy!!
I would like to state that this comment, unlike pretty much every other comment on YouTube, is not merely a badly-spelled, grammatically-wretched quotation from the clip in question.
I would also like to state that Richard Curtis and Ben Elton are comedy Gods and Rik Mayall was born to be Flashheart!
Extraordinary seein Mayall and Edmonson in the same scene yet neither of them in their usual roles as sad bachelors or deranged students, though even here one of them shoots the other! XD
"Actually they're right, this is a doddle, woop, woop, a little wobble there, I'll get the hang of it don't worry. Alright Baldrick, how many rounds have we got? Er...500 sir, cheese and tomatoe for you, rat for me. Tally, Bally ho! watch this sir, ah no Baldrick.
Baldrick will you stop a*ssing about and get back in the cockpit. Hey sir, look I can see a pretty red plane from up. [german chatter] no, watch out it's stood right on our tail. Yes this developing into a very boring situation."
@calculus400 ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT GENTLY DOWN THE STREAM! BELTS OFF, TROUSERS DOWN! ISN'T LIFE A SCREAM? THRUST!!!!!
