Favourite Blackadder insult? Page 4
Quote: Alfred J Kipper @ January 7 2013, 7:22 AM GMTGood, I'm not the only one who thought the endless stream of Elton penned funny lines were mostly tiresome drivel.
Most of those lines were built on by the actors during "rehearsal", they started off quite simple and got built up and up into the unwealdly monsters they became. I think the ridiculous complexity of them is part of the joke though.
I quite like the simple ones.

General Melchett: Something's the matter. Something sinister and something grotesque. And what's worse is that it's going on right here under my very nose.
Captain Blackadder: [protesting] Sir, your moustache is lovely...
Queenie: "Lord Melchett has very bad news..."
Edmund: "Lord Melchett is bad news."
Baldrick: So, you're asking where the big papery thing tied up with string belonging to the baity fellow in the black coat who just left is?
Blackadder: Yes, Baldrick. I am. And if you don't answer, then the booted bony thing with five toes at the end of my leg will soon connect sharply with the soft, dangly collection of objects in your trousers. Now for the last time, Baldrick, where is Dr. Johnson's manuscript?

You are about as much use to me as a hole in the head. an affliction with which you must be familiar. never having had a brain.
Blackadder: Yes. To you, Baldrick, the Renaissance was just something that happened to other people, wasn't it?
Some classics ones brought up in here.
I loved the more simpler ones like:
The eyes are open, the mouth moves, but Mr. Brain has long since departed, hasn't he, Percy.
