Probably the best of all the series of Blackadder written by Richard Curtis & Ben Elton. Blackadder Goes Forth was a brilliant mix of clever lines, cheesy jokes and a bit of silliness (remember the court case for the lovely, plump, speckily pigeon called Speckled Jim), all wrapped around a brilliant storyline about Edmund trying to avoid going ‘over the top’ during World War 1.
Here is a selection of some classic moments from the series. Click the play buttons to start watching the videos. Below them you will also find a list of Blackadder Goes Forth quotes.
Funny Quotes
- Blackadder: “We’re in the stickiest situation since Sticky the Stick Insect got stuck on a sticky bun”
- George: “I’m the last of the tiddly-winking leapfroggers from the golden summer of 1914″
- Baldrick: “And they’ve overthrown Nicholas the Second, who used to be bizarre”
- Melchett: “If you come back with the information, Captain Darling will pump you thoroughly in the debriefing room”
- Darling: “You’d better find the real spy or Ill make it very hard for you”
- Flasheart: “Woof!”
Blackadder Goes Forth really was a great series, you can watch clips on YouTube but if you want to enjoy it fully again you can buy the DVD from Amazon for around £5, money well spent on what is a classic BBC production. As George said “This is, as they say, it?”, they don’t make series like this any more!

I love blackadder! This is one of the funniest british comedy shows ever. I loved watching these videos. I cried when I watched the very last episode tho. It was so sad after such a funny run of this comedy show. Leave it to the brits to end comedies on such a solemn note.
