Blackadder - How did the war start? (eng sub)

[johhboiix3]

why do i keep on looking at the subtitles when i can understand everything

[MubinFMA]

9GAG!

[brianc792310]

@IAmCaptainMarvel wtf are u talking about

[brianc792310]

What does bollocks mean?

[IAmCaptainMarvel]

@brianc792310

Oh god, it's pathetic, it's actually fucking disgraceful on so many levels I can't even begin to describe. And I'm NOT talking about the definition of "bollocks".

[iAmHort]

my favourite episode :)

[toiletmusic]

Rowan Aktinson + Hugh Laurie what more can anyone ask for ?

[1313owner]

@toiletmusic Stephen fry?

[NEOSRULER]

Black Adder.....simply the best

[rainmaker646]

It was bollocks :-D

[MiK3i]

Oh dearest Rowan Atkinson - you are an icon! You don't have to be a hipster to recognise that, so let us not judge negatively the comedy of today, but praise the fact we have a comparison, as this type of comedy without the comparison wouldn't flare your judgement, but rather maintain it, and thus people like Rowan Atkinson wouldn't get half as much credit as he does now!

[SedanChair]

0:30 a look of pure hatred

[myblackheartxx8]

@commentM0NSTER if you saw the rest of the episode you'd know that he was trying to get out of fighting by claiming he's mental, therefore to prove this shoved pencils up his nose an wore underpants on his head...it's a running joke throughout ;)

[commentM0NSTER]

why does rowan atkinson have stuff up his nose and a pair of boxers on his head?

[Lava1964]

This is brilliant. (It also helps to know that Austria is spelled "Osterreich" in German.)

[sootysooty1]

...but there was a tiny flaw in the plan.

Whats that sir?

It was bollocks... -.-

[Vidyadude]

Is that Dr.House?

[sarunas461]

@Vidyadude Indeed!

[videogamenostalgia]

R.I.P. the ostrich

[BigSammy1000]

why is there subtitles..?

[LexiRoseStudio]

@BigSammy1000 for the deaf?

[Dullahan111]

@BigSammy1000 Because non-english speakers can't understand ***** when British speak with their accent.

[Davidbonifacio5]

@BigSammy1000 im deff and it worked for me =)

[MrJizmonkey]

"It was bollocks" still cracks me up

[ritanita11]

never gets old looool

[NexusCool1]

Ao the poor old ostrich died for nothing..lol!

[PieterOpie]

If only all of us would shove sticks up our nostrils we could avert all wars everywhere.

[Bluey306]

I love how he goes, "Well, /possibly/".

[rincewind214]

I have to watch every episode!

[jgtdaw]

This is my favourite comedy of all time.:)

[walksnomore]

wish I knew the lingo maybe it would be funny

[mxgirl918]

@walksnomore they were playing with words and it helps to know a bit of history. e.g. Archie Duke shot an ostrich when he was hungry = The Archduke of Austria-Hungary got shot. Henry VIII and his 6 knives = King Henry VIII and his 6 wives

[1gadena]

The mans a bicycle love hugh laurie hahaha

[YorkJonhson]

This is brilliant, how have I not heard of it before?

[EgoEssex]

@YorkJonhson Might have had something to do with the rock you were living under or the cave you were living in? Or the fact that tons of people would rather talk about what the kardashians are up to instead of finding and sharing awesome stuff like this.

[YorkJonhson]

@EgoEssex Likely a bit of both I'm afraid.

[Daleksaresupreme1]

@YorkJonhson your American

[YorkJonhson]

@Daleksaresupreme1 Half English too, so I fit in some British humor where I can.

[Daleksaresupreme1]

@YorkJonhson good answer

[littleblueleprecorn]

absolutely hilarious :) classic

[dark1evil2]

house xD

[TheKiteLegacy]

Shame shows aren't like this anymore. No wit in them, all just a bunch of horribly confused carrots walking around doing carrot things.

[The4400FalloutFan20]

@TheKiteLegacy yeah shows started to become lame after 2004, before that it was all good

[c0nfus3ds0ul2]

@TheKiteLegacy

Mock the Week is still incredibly witty.

[DrNazus]

@TheKiteLegacy By god that comment is funny.

[TheKiteLegacy]

@DrNazus Why thank you. I made it the first time I saw Jersey Shore. God, I was so depressed after that...

[gussy1d5]

subtitles help a lot if you are american...

[Heiryuu]

@gussy1d5 huh it made prefect sense to me without reading the subtitles

[gussy1d5]

@Heiryuu well.... English is not my first language, so i guess you obviously have a better understanding of British words than me, like for example, i didn't know what bloke was.

[Heiryuu]

@gussy1d5 gotta point there

[IAmCaptainMarvel]

@gussy1d5

If you're gonna bitch about not being able to understand what a bloke is, then why are you watching clips of Blackadder? You should take that as a strong sign how uncultured you are.

[gussy1d5]

@IAmCaptainMarvel you are fucking racist pig who thinks that everybody should speak english only and see people with a foreign accent as ignorant, well bitch in my opinion, if you dont speak and understand portuguese than you are fucking uncultured

[IAmCaptainMarvel]

@gussy1d5

Racist? I didn't say anything racist in the slightest, you're grasping at straws. And I didn't say you were uncultured because of where you're from, I call you uncultured because you choose to only learn a bastardised format of English.

But before you decide to play the victim again, you were the one who smugly and insultingly said "subtitles help a lot if you are american" first, you hypocrite. Even though you clearly AREN'T American if English isn't your first language

[c0nfus3ds0ul2]

@gussy1d5

That's British slang. You're excused for not knowing that.

Personally, I made it a point to learn as much British slang phrases and jokes only the British would understand as possible.

It has helped me understand a lot of english humour.

[meisjess99]

the man without a hat somehow remind me of luke in percy jackson

[maclinomac]

Yah mr.bean

[faydp]

Awch. :)) 

[Trashcansam123]

The Germans were aggressive yes, but can you blame then? They got the bad end of the deal with litterally no colonies, while France and Britian hogged all the rest.

[frntfrnt]

Hugh Laurie was a fail before House everyone know that

[IAmCaptainMarvel]

God damn, are people really so uncultured that they only know Hugh Laurie from House? Arguably Laurie's WEAKEST work?

I bet people are surprised to see Rowan Atkinson in this too, since he's known as Mr. Bean. Again, something we all think is his weakest work compared to Blackadder.

[TheCutwood]

@IAmCaptainMarvel

It's the yank way of thinking, mate. English actor plays American character on American television, therefore there's 0% chance he's done any previous work in his lifetime.

So when they do seem him in something else, they have to prattle on about it and point it out.

I mean fuck, I saw Gillian Anderson on a trailer for Great Expectations the other day, UK production. But I'm not so dense and uncultured enough to realise she was in X-Files beforehand.

[Actimus123]

@IAmCaptainMarvel "Arguably" as in "you'd have to argue a lot to make sense of that statement". 

[IAmCaptainMarvel]

@Actimus123

I know exactly that I typed, and I'm glad your American-English classes are coming along so well since you felt the need to state the obvious. I know people are going to disagree with me on whether House is Laurie's best work or not, which is exactly why I put "arguably", you tosser.

[Actimus123]

@IAmCaptainMarvel You mad bro?

[IAmCaptainMarvel]

@Actimus123

lol memes frum 2009 r so random XD

[bakugancollecterZ]

I used to shoot ostriches.....then I took an arrow to the knee...

[pirateloverdg]

Archie Duke shot an ostrich because he was hungry

[peacefularab]

@pirateloverdg the first time i read this phrase was fro my history book...

[artistafrustrado1]

wow House sounds so freaking different with the english accent xD

[TomasProduction]

House... is that, you?

[TheJudyRed]

@TomasProduction LOL i was asking myself the same Q.!?!!

i think the answer is YES !! XD

[Eienyoshi]

I love the ostrich bit (since it is a Bilingual Bonus - Osterreich is Austria in German).

[mgrace82]

i think history lessons would be more entertaining if told with a pair of underpants on the head and 2 pencils up the nose. ^____^

[Hatoflegends]

he's completely right, it was BOLLOCKS

[DarknessBlood1]

Which Episode is this?

[ditsie]

@DarknessBlood1 why would you want to see only one episode, they're all brilliant

[DarknessBlood1]

@ditsie I didn't say that i only wanted to see just one episode.

[JhericFury]

@DarknessBlood1 It's the last one, "over the top", i think

[anilesemil20075]

9Gag brought me here

[spyware60]

Just Dr. House with Mr. Bean

[tatoola]

@spyware60 This isn't the americanized Dr House, he still was the british Hugh Laurie at the time.

[spyware60]

@tatoola I know he got brainwashed

[tatoola]

@spyware60 I guess so!

[rimskykorsakov08]

i'm offensive and i find this an ostrich

[MrBlueSky1978]

The question that needs to be answered is why Archie Duke wanted to shoot the ostrich in the first place lol

[bakugancollecterZ]

@MrBlueSky1978 Because he was hungry...

[Rabbits6130]

@deathscyte9 WANKER.

[wank0r]

Wow Hugh has a good British accent, so talented

[SirMrJames]

@wank0r his real accent.

[creopictures]

@SirMrJames & @ktfromnz

That was probably a joke on wank0r's part. I mean, who doesn't know at this point, that Hugh Laurie is British? Everyone has been going on about his amazing American accent for years on end.

[ktfromnz]

@wank0r That is probably because he is British... :)

[Knight1992Azure]

@wank0r That's because he is English! He was born in Oxford lol!

[EmmatheMinx]

@wank0r Proves what a great actor he is, that he's convinced people he has an american accent! He's definately english :)

[TrailersThatRock]

i really need to know why rowan atkinson has sticks in his nose

[LeSage013]

@TrailersThatRock If I'm not mistaken, he was trying escape the war and get expelled from the military, and the only way to do that is to be deemed as mentally "unfit" a.k.a. batshit insane. lol.

[boss180888]

@TrailersThatRock he's pretending to be crazy to get a leave from the trenches.

[Morbidsenorita]

Is that House???

[TheSemyazza]

@Morbidsenorita Yes it is Hugh Laurie, you can read it in the description :)

[MidjettKiDx]

@Morbidsenorita That's Hugh Laurie. So yes that is house. I still can't believe more people don't know his past before House. I agree House if a brilliant show but look up Blackadder and Fry and Laurie. Hugh Laurie was also in a number of films including Stewart Little, 101 dalmations and the borrowers.

[ibella77]

@MidjettKiDx agreed, it's the same with Rowan, they all know him because of Mr. Bean, that's just sad.

[The4400FalloutFan20]

@ibella77 its not sad, rown atkinson had a huge role in mr bean for years, its complete normal to remember him from mr bean then, its just like with criminal minds, people know thomas gibson for criminal mind instead of dharma and greg, you get the point right

[ibella77]

@The4400FalloutFan20 i do, but this was big way before he got a roll in Mr. Bean

[EgoEssex]

@The4400FalloutFan20 Mr. bean wasn't half as awesome as the other stuff he did though...that's why it's sad... Also..everytime i walk by a tv with criminal minds on i say HEY THATS THE DHARMA AND GREG GUY

[Psychorror]

@MidjettKiDx Same can be said for how very few people know Rowan Atkinson from anything other than Mr.Bean.

He was Zazu from the Lion King, for example.

This too, of course.

[blagger56]

@MidjettKiDx don't forget Jeeves & Wooster...

[postedonmyiphone]

Won't someone think of the ostrich!! :'(

[Pipinha1998]

ahah! dr.house and mr.bean together!!

i like to see

[TushTushTush]

A tiny flaw ... :D :D :D ... Indeed

[Missquietlikeafish]

Damn! thise pencils are so distracting!

[FuckWorkdays]

The guy without glasses is Hugh Laurie, aka Dr House. Your mind has been blown.

[WalterLiddy]

@FuckWorkdays You were the only one who didn't know that.

[FuckWorkdays]

@WalterLiddy until now

[ImaginaryNightshade]

@FuckWorkdays You'd be surprised how many people knew Hugh Laurie before House MD...

[telshiar]

can anyone tell me a more hilarious show than blackadder goes forth???? oh and snowkiller i wish i would of thought of giving that answer when i was at school

[Guitarvirtuoso666]

00:37 :D

[TalonMercenary]

Awwwww poor Baldrick haha

[snowkiller12]

my teacher asked me the same question on my history examn, and I gave Blackadders awnser..somehow I still failed that test

[ovejocke]

Baldric looks like Himmler

[Naruava]

"It was bollocks" Best qoute to describe the reason for wars :)

[YUR800]

I fucking love this

[airHaakon]

They should make a present time blackadder season!

[Jontehmannen]

That one to left, it's goddamn Dr. House!

[ForlanElCapo]

@Jontehmannen haha of course it is man! its hugh laurie...

[airHaakon]

@Jontehmannen Yes he masters the american accent remarkably!

[lickstickly]

Rowan Atkinson pronounces 'Bollocks' better than anyone

[gdgditsuki]

Dr. House was a soldier...

[aspiringdrummer17]

@gdgditsuki No, George Colthurst became a doctor...

[RathboneLLJK]

@QRF11B I only suggested you go - I think there might be something wrong with you. I still do.

[RathboneLLJK]

@QRF11B No it isn't - it's still pretty nice in comparison to most of the world. In regards to standard of living. I'm pretty lucky to be born and live here. I think you're just being a bit nasty to rile people up. Having a gander at your channel I think you might just be insane though so it's okay. I would suggest going to see a psychiatrist though.

[Timmeh7]

Amazing to think what the, at the time relative unknowns Rowan Atkinson, Hugh Laurie, Stephen Fry and Tony Robinson have since gone on to do. If the 4 of them got together today to create a series, it'd be considered a powerhouse of an all-star cast.

[TheHasman100]

i love blackadder!!!!!!!

[TheHHAddict]

So the poor old ostrich died for nothing then! 

[Joshricho1]

I am still amazed to see such vile, weird creatures who write the most vitriolic and hateful things about any given clip. It is youtube, how many millions of clips are there? Go and watch something else so that those of us who actually enjoy the clip can talk about it and enjoy it.

[jakobitis89]

@Joshricho1 Go away. You're being sensible and reasonable, you have no place on Youtube, or the internet for that matter. Only hateful trolls and bigots allowed.

(I should state that this is a joke just in case.)

[TheHHAddict]

I heard it was called a guy called Archie Duke shot an Ostrich cause he was hungry?

Don't you mean, It was because the Archduke of AustrioHungary?

Nope, there was definately an Ostrich involved..

Well, maybe.

:') So worth watching!

[Grymligast]

@QRF11B Wow. That's quite a chip you have on your shoulder. Your moaning is as high pitched as the Modern Warfare kids yet as imaginative as the developers that churn it out.

[Grymligast]

@QRF11B Run a long little boy. And it's "Good riddance", please don't leave school until you can grasp this, as we wouldn't want the likes of you bringing down the gene pool a few notches would we!

[RedBeretXXX]

YES THE POOR OLD AUST RIGDE DIED FOR NOTHING

[Glexs30]

is that mr. bean and dr. house? :O

[KianaKannibal]

@Glexs30 Yes :)



[KianaKannibal]

@Glexs30  Yes :)

[MrJayel27]

@Glexs30 Yes,and Baldrick is played by Tony Robinson,who now presents Time Team.Rik Mayall is in this too as Lord Flashheart

[Glexs30]

@MrJayel27 ohmy haha forgive me... i don't think i know them.. hahaa <- kid :)))

[MrJayel27]

@Glexs30 Oh right,just seen youre from the states,..so possibly not.Though you may know Stephen Fry?Hes in it aswell,plays the General bloke with Captain Darling as his right-hand man

[Glexs30]

@MrJayel27 oh yes haha he's the big guy in v for vendetta hahaha! thanks for the info sir :> :D

[Fred50099]

Thanks!

[kaiserliam]

Haha very funny and poignant since the war was fairly pointless, the underpants on Blackadder's head topped it off xD

[mechmechanic788]

ahhh... hugh laurie. :)

[ScythePuppet]

What season/series is this? 4 or 5?

[MrBonzaiTree]

@ScythePuppet Series 4, there was only 4 seriesssess..es

[ScythePuppet]

@MrBonzaiTree Thank you, my good man.

[Blado1988]

is the subtitles for the retarded ignorance of the north american race

[RandomID222]

@Blado1988 ... hard of hearing.

[Blado1988]

@RandomID222 yes, it was meant for the deaf smart arse

[ginnyisdacoolest]

I remember my teacher showing this clip to us in history. 'Bollocks' and all :)

[zboghicea]

@ginnyisdacoolest  what an awesome history teacher you had!

[dm9910]

"it was bollocks" - one of my all time favourite moments in comedy :)

[ukanian]

This is one of two excellent descriptions of how the first (and lets face it that more or less meant the second) world wars started. The other is in The West Wing.
