Blackadder/Heartwarming

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • No, really, Blackadder does have a heart! From the Blackadder II episode Chains:

Queen: Did you miss me, Edmund?
Blackadder: Madame, life without you was like a broken pencil.
Queen: [confused] Explain...?
Blackadder: Pointless.

  • In "Back and Forth," when Blackadder becomes king of England, he makes Baldrick prime minister, despite the fact that Baldrick is an idiot who annoys the crap out of him. It's almost an Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other moment.
    • Plus the indication that Blackadder chose to be a good leader, and not a tyrant, as one would half expect from him.
  • Classic moment from Blackadder Goes Forth

Captain Darling: Don't take that tone with me, Lieutenant, or I'll have you on charge for insubordination!
Lieutenant George: Well I'd rather be on a charge for insubordination than on a charge for deserting a friend!

  • Captain Edmund Blackadder's last words are particularly touching, in their own small way, especially in the heartfelt tone he delivers them in.

Blackadder: Good Luck, Everyone. *Blows whistle to signal going over the top*
