Mathew BayntonGUEST
Like, when I was young, We were watching sitcoms together.
Mathew BayntonGUEST
What did you watch? Well, Blackadder and anything that was on.
Mathew BayntonGUEST
Yeah.
Mathew BayntonGUEST
But I guess the generation that had horrible histories, the contemporary adult sitcoms at the time, by and large, were adult in a way that sitcoms generally weren't so adult when when we were young like I think for better or worse I don't know there's this there was like there's a lot more explicit sexual content and swearing and um and so i don't think families necessarily had sort of other comedy that that you could watch together um maybe that's part of it because as i say for me like we were watching I'm trying to think what the things were when I was young, young.

Hugh McStayHOST
I know you're a Blackadder fan, aren't you, Dan? Yeah.
Hugh McStayHOST
Do you remember the episode where, in season three, where the Prince Regent hires a couple of actors to teach him how to be a better orator? That's what John Astin reminded me of in this.
Hugh McStayHOST
There was a lot of roaring.
GreggGUEST
But I don't know why it'd be on the Catholic side.
RobertoHOST
Is this Mr. Bean doing a Blackadder thing? It definitely looks that way.
RobertoHOST
Oh
GreggGUEST
my God, we got Blackadder in this episode.
GreggGUEST
Yeah, the Cardinal's like, well, nope, not getting any of that.
GreggGUEST
But just, yeah, the flamboyant lean.
Elis JamesHOST
You
John RobinsHOST

John RobinsHOST
Yeah.
John RobinsHOST
Blackadder goes the third.
John RobinsHOST
Yeah, and with quite similar makeup.
John RobinsHOST
So are you appearing
Winston PetersGUEST
That's hand down.
Winston PetersGUEST
And next, as Blackadder would say, the next one's going to be Pip the Amoeba.
Winston PetersGUEST
A Pip the Amoeba sort of thing is going to be the next prime minister.
Winston PetersGUEST
Do you hope the same for me? You reckon I can
Sam SlaughterGUEST
There's only so much you can resist, isn't it?
Robin BonnHOST
I mean, there's a game show in the UK and it's got Stephen Fry on it, who many Americans will know from Blackadder and all sorts of good things.
Robin BonnHOST
He used to host it.
Robin BonnHOST
But anyway, so QI stands for quite interesting.
Ian MorrisHOST
And the guy goes, what's duck surprise? He goes, well, that's duck without orange or cherries,
Scott BichenoHOST
isn't it? I think I adopted that surprise from Blackadder.
Scott BichenoHOST
where, you know, I think it was in Blackadder 2, he's going to serve up turnip surprise, and the surprise is, it's just some turnip.
Scott BichenoHOST
And he goes, so another word for turnip surprise is a turnip, in that Rowan Atkinson way.
