Baldric.

One of my favourites is in BA IV when George comes in with a copy of 'King
and Country'. BA describes it as 'the greatest work of fiction since vows
of fidelity were included in the French marriage ceremony'

I think that's supposed to be "thingy", as in, "I find it particularly ironic,
as I have a thingy shaped just like a turnip. I used to hide it in vegetable
carts to frighten small children."

My favourite is:
Blackadder : There was, however, one minor flaw in the plan.
Baldrick : What was that?
Blackadder : It was bollocks.

Yes! Thoroughly absorbant (reading), that "King and Country". :-)

Flash was talking to Baldrick, and he actually said:
"Thank's bridesmaid, like the beard: gives me somthing to HANG ON TO";
which (IMHO) is slightly easier on the ear :-)
ho hum
I like:
Flash: "Nursie - I like it firm and fruity. Am I pleased to see you or did I
just put a CANOE in my pocket"
or:
Flash: "I've got a plan, and it's as HOT as my PANTS"
or even:
Baldrick: "We haven't recieved any messages, and Captain Blackadder certainly
did not shoot this delicious, plump-breasted bird"

Thanks for the correction. I haven't watched these ones for awhile, so I
mis-quote easily!

How does that one go in the last episode of BA 4 when Baldrick is
lamenting the loss of his pals?
Baldrick: There's only Colin(?) my hamster left now.
BA: I'm afraid not Baldrick.
Baldrick: Colin too? Has he bought it too Sir?
BA: Well, not exactly Baldrick, he's being put to some use as a dishcloth.
Baldrick: Oh why Sir? Why does he have to go like this?
BA: Yes, on the other hand if he hadn'tve gone like this he wouldn'tve
been able to have a stick inserted in his bottom and used to wash our
dishes.
I know this is probably totally misquoted but you get the picture...

Rule one of posting BA quotes to this newsgroup is to be accurate. As
someone else said: there are people out there with scripts, y'know.

"Disease and deprivation" -- the aliteration is important.
- what's the related "twists and turns like a twisty-turny thing" quote?
Melchet to BA in series 2:
"You twist and turn like a twisty-turney thing: you're a wily pigeon
Blackadder, and you can call me Susan if it isn't so."

Well, I do like the Quote in BA 4 (Private Plane). BA to George:
"Treat your kite like you treat your woman!"
"Sir -- do you mean take her home at the weekend to meet your mother?"
"No, I mean get inside her five times a day and take her to heaven and
back!"

Regarding that great rollicking novel, _Dictionary_, Edmund has this to say:
"It's the most pointless book since 'How to Learn French' was translated into
French."

"That is so often the way: too late, one thinks of what one should have said.
Sir Thomas Moore, for instance, burned alive for refusing to recant his
Catholicism, must have been kicking himself, as the flames licked higher, that
it never occurred to him to say, 'I recant my Catholicism.' " -E. Blackadder
Steven Michael Llanusa
BA gets the bishop in a compromising position with a prostitute and
presents the bishop with an oil painting of the transgression. He tells
the bishop "and we've got the preliminary sketches, too!"
