None, and I mean none, of these guys hold a candle to Lord Flashheart of ‘Blackadder’ series II and IV, to whit;
‘Is that a canoe in my pants or am just I glad to see ya?’ ‘She’s got a tongue like an electric eel and she likes the taste of a MAN’S tonsils!’ ‘Chocks away, flaps up, last one back’s a homo!’.
No other series lampooned pivotal aspects of British culture (militarism, homophobia, class, sexual repression) so well.
