I saw the 1 to 1 joke coming a mile away and it still killed me!
"God its a barren, featureless desert out there isnt it?"
I died
Eem people don't seem to realize that this is exactly how the aristocracy behaved with their lower in command and that the whole war was theatre of death, theatre being the operative word and death being the obvious one.
"God! It's a barren featureless desert out there, isn't it!"…
I've seen these clips more times than I can count – and I've only just noticed that General Melchett has been awarded the VC and bar. Even the wardrobe department were comedians.
By Jove, Jeeves and Wooster wearing khaki to fight in the First World War trenches!
I will never forget the day my daughter came home from school and told me they watched Blackadder Goes Forth as part of their history classes 🙂

Ironically the military leadership on all sides had very little regards for the average soldier. They were almost to the man ALL from highly privileged and inbred backgrounds with zero military experience.Their arrogance knew no bounds.
During the battle of Sebastopol the officers had their servants had a silver service breakfast set up overlooking the battlefield so they AND their wives could watch the morning attack on the enemy.
The best Blackadder series by far – a true classic!
His resignation and suicide…😂😂😂😂
3:49 😂🤣
BLACK ADDER. Great …😂

I would pay for an app that could take laugh tracks out of older shows. I just couldn't get past 1:24.
I guess Zelensky must have consulted Melchett when he put together his summer 'counter-offensive'.
Sadly , pretty close to reality
An AMAZING comedy BUT, spoiled by FALSE / dreadful 'CANNED' laughter! The BEEB were good at ruining everything, like this and that's why I cannot watch this programme, anymore!!! sad!
Officers were more likely to be killed or seriously injured than NCOs and other ranks. But let's keep that lie going, eh.
Would be funny if it weren't so accurate.
Even in WW2, the allies often chose the stupidest option, based on the idea that this would "Catch Gerry by Surprise."
THE BRITISH AS THICK AS 2 SHORT PLANKS HAVE BAND THE WORD NIGER BECUSE ITS A GERMAN WORD FOR BLACK.ALSO YOU CAN NOT HATE BOILS, SORES, FLIES ,PLAGUE OR DISEASES AS ITS CLASSED AS RELIGIOUS HATE AS WE ARE IN BRITIAN. RATHER
I love Stephen Fry's enunciation. The way he moves his lips makes me think of the stereotypical WW1 British General with a fancy for Safari hunting. He's such a treat.
Liked the goal by Bell.
Its funny because its true, and that is sad.
Genius, pure genius
Alternative comedy is only amusing for adolescents. It won't stand the test of time.
General Melchett" We are going to give the Frenchies a damn good licking"
Captain Darling "Sir its the Germans we will be licking"
General Melchett "Don't be so disgusting Darling"
