Blackadder S1 Ep3 "The Archbishop" REACTION!

Comments

Edmund describing heaven and hell is what Swedenborgianism is about.

Grady Parsons

He did voice Boss Nass.

It pisses me off so much that they just assume everyone hates it for absolutely no reason.

Grady Parsons

Season one is easier to watch if haven't see the others, I am enjoying it again because I haven't seen Blackadder for a long time

bobsonian

That's because you're an adult, unlike the people moaning about it.

LyingSecret

Exactly, that's what I'm doing. He's getting through S1 quickly and - whilst it's not my cup of tea - I appreciate that lots of other people are enjoying it.

I really don't understand why people hate on S1 of Blackadder so much. Sure, it's quite different in tone to the other seasons but it still has some hilarious moment, and ultimately establishes Blackadder as an underdog wanting to raise his status while being surrounded by idiots. Plus it's only 6 short episodes. It's not like people can't just wait until you get to S2 if they hate it so much.

Family dinners must have been fun!

Julian

Ironically the people sending messages (and personal ones at that, entitled much?) are highly likely to be from people who have watched the first series and decided they didn't like it, yet they wouldn't allow others to make that same decision for themselves. Hypocrites!

David Lyons

Not at all. It was tight arse yid, Michael Grade who wanted to axe 'Blackadder' altogether and only agreed to give the go ahead for a second series if the budget was halved and there was no expensive location filming at all. Grade made a habit of moaning about budgets and then knocking the productions for looking cheap - yet he (Shylock) held the purse strings! He did exactly the same with 'Doctor Who' the arsehole.

Well done telling the idiots messaging you "Bollocks!". Obviously, they don't like you reacting to things they dislike - well hard shit. I don't like 'Plebs' but I don't cry about it. They've got three more episodes to sit out.... Will they make it? 🤣

Rob Walters

In my house as a child Brian was known as uncle Brian. As he used to date my dad's auntie 🤪

I love that one of the relics Jesus would have made as a carpenter, is of himself on the cross which hadn't happened yet :D

LyingSecret

No one is making people watch these, just come back when he starts series 2 if you hate it that much, right?

LyingSecret

I like the fact you like Series 1, it'll make you appreciate 2, 3 and 4 all the more (hopefully.. it should do)

I-Love-My-Brick

It's been twenty years or more since I last gave Series 1 a proper watch, and one thing I'm appreciating more this time round is the obvious Monty Python influence: it was there in the last episode with the Jumping Jews of Jerusalem, and in this one the scene where they all end up disguised as nuns - complete with falsetto voices and hands over their beards - could come straight out of Holy Grail. Part of Blackadder evolving into a different show from Series 2 onward is that Python influence getting less overt; like any piece of art, it's far better for being able to nod to its inspirations without feeling the need to imitate them. But to the credit of Curtis and Atkinson, during this period when they *were* imitating Python, they managed it pretty well!

Ian Richards

Only three to go 🥳

What kind of a nutcase is private messaging a content creator directly?... Also, I'm just about to start a Patreon for my marketing students soon... Is there a way I can stop muppets direct messaging me lol... That would drive me crazy!

BigChanChan

It wasn't necessarily anything to do with budget... They purposely scaled it down to be more intimate... One of the main issues they discussed after S1, was that the TV executives and some on the team for the show, felt S1 was far too expansive and covered too much open space and set changes, which affected the amount of actors needed and also character interaction and development... A lower spend was a nice bonus for them due to that change.

BigChanChan

Please continue with season 1! Its decent. I think you will agree that when you start watching season 2, the contrast and change in the BlackAdder character is nothing short of remarkable!

Andrew Powell

I always wanted Brian Blessed for Prime Minister! On the subject of series 1 I’m glad you are watching it, I’d forgotten how good it was. It stands on its own with its own merits. The other series are a different character altogether for black adder and a separate chapter altogether. When I was at school and series 1 came out we were so flipping excited!! Loved it.

MarkC

Good for you bro, nothing at all wrong with season 1

ezza

The sets in series one are impressive and much better than the low budget sets in the subsequent series.

Colin R

I know one reason why the phantom menace isn't any good and it's one simple question. Who's the main character?

Joe Thornhill

Duuno who is STILL messaging you wanting you to skip - but frankly, they can get tae fuck. Who do they think they are? It's not like they have long to wait till you get round to their precious later series. Anyway - some really great stuff in this one, definitely one of the stronger episodes of S1.

Phil Robinson

i don't know why people say to skip it there is some comedy gold in some of these episodes.never skip anything :) that is my advice

Markos

I dont know why some are so anti BA1, yeah season 2,3,4 are better but this is good too and very unique

Mike Doel

Those knights must have really gotten lost in the Holy Land since that armour is at least two hundred years out of date for the shows period! I adore Blackadder so it's not a criticism. But it does play fast and loose with the timeline.

ALW

Unfortunately it was unsuccessful, someone on the team fell ill and they had to turn back, he’s still the oldest man to climb Everest though! He’s swears like a trooper also! https://youtu.be/FxSlzCEmFhI?si=4kqgrUvOJ_-lv1X5

Andi Main

Stick to your guns and keep watching the rest of the series. Like most say, the other series' are far better but still worth persisting. Don't get why people send private messages when you've already said you're sticking with it!

Mackem

Wasn't he successful at climbing Everest without oxygen at one point?

Jay

Sending private messages telling KB to skip a show he's already reacting to, is next level muppet behaviour.

Jay

Brian Blessed in all of his roles plays pretty much the same character. Very little acting involved once you realize what he’s like off screen.

Adam Druett

Tell the people telling you to skip this to do one

Erica

He was prince volan in Flash Gordon! He’s also a very accomplished explorer, and tried to climb Everest x2 only to get sent back down due to other team members getting dangerously ill! This QI episode should give you an idea! https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b018z813/qi-series-i-15-ice
