What's your favourite episode?
Mines the first one where Baldrick becomes a politician for the Adder party.
They're all hilarious but I think I like the one with Samuel Johnston who wrote the first dictionary, I love it when Blackadder makes up words to make him think that he's forgotten them haha!
Let's dooooooooo it!
I have to agree. This episode is my all-time favorite!
shareDefinitely 'Dish and Dishonesty' because it has one of my favorite bits in it When Blackadder is filling out the 'MP' application for Baldrick and he asks him what his first name is and Baldrick says, 'Sod off!' The explanation is hysterical!
shareFavourite is the dictionary episode, because it's so hilarious...closely followed by "Goodbyeee" because it's so sad.
I love the entire series with a passion, though...except for maybe the first season.

I've always been fond of "Ink and Incapability" and "Nob and Nobility" over the years, but recently my opinion has shifted to "Duel and Duality". That one IMO holds up best over subsequent viewings, Stephen Fry is hysterical, and I love the twist ending. Just my opinion though.
Although I'm not crazy about the episode entire, "Sense and Senility" gets an honorable mention for the "Macbeth" joke, which is undoubtedly the funniest gag in the history of TV.

I liked all of them, but I loved Baldric in 'Duel and Duality', where he tells the Prince, that "All portrates look alike these days because they are painted to a romatic ideal, rather than as a true depiction of the ideosyncratic facial qualities of the person in question." :-)

Ummm..Cannot think of one at the moment, but give me a minute and I'll be back with an awnser before you can say 'Antiedistablishmanteriism...'
shareReally they are all phenomenally brilliant, but I think Amy and Amiability is my favourite by a small margin.
shareMy favourite episode is probably the one where Blackadder becomes a politican. That one just beats the episode with Stephen Fry.
shareI can't be sure which is best because my PBS station has never, ever shown Nob & Nobility (I guess they're just anti-French), but I would say:
Dish is the best because of the application scene and the election night special,
Ink is the best because of the gobbledygook scene and Blackadder's dream sequence,
Nob is the best because of the frog squishing sound and the symptoms of the suicide pill,
Sense is the best because of the MacBeth scene and how the prince didn't know plays weren't real,
Amy is the best because of the squirrel sound effect and Blackadder's highwayman scene,
and Duel is the best because of McAdder and the suprise ending.
"When the going gets tough, the tough hide under the table."
I'm unsure about the best episode, but I sure think that it did present the best series' finale ever.
share"Ink and Incapability". Hands down. That part where Blackadder asks Baldrick if he has rewritten C and Baldrick replies "Yes. C: big blue wobbly thing that mermaids live in" cracks me up every time.

Amy and Amiability, definitely. Closely followed by the election (Pitt The Younger) episode. Every episode of series 3 is genius, though.
shareLOL, we are of the same opinion except in the reverse! Dish and Dishonesty (the Pitt the Younger ep) is my fave, but Amy is a close second. (LOL @ Baldrick as the horse!) Totally agree that all the eps of this series are genius. I recently re-watched during an illness and had to turn it off because the constant laughter kept bringing on coughing fits!
Edit: A fellow Van fan!
"Duel and Duality" was the best one I thought. It was a perfect ending to a great third run, it was extremely funny.
I also like the first one "Dish and Dishonesty", where Blackadder goes into politics. It was just so smart, witty, satirical and hilarious. Great episode.
Of course all of the episodes are great, as is the show itself, even the less funny first one.
Nob and Nobility :D
shareThis by far the best series. For years my favourite episode was Ink and Incapability but now it's Dual and Duality. I love Stephen Fry as The Duke of Wellington when he thinks Prince George is the servant and complains about him taking ages to make the tea, 'Where've you been? India? Ceylon? CHINA?' then he kicks Hugh Laurie in the back and sends him flying with the tea tray. A killer every time.
