Blackadder Johnson's Dictionary

Happy birthday Dr. Johnson.. 18 September

I am a slow reader myself!!
These British comedies are among the best things in the world.
I do miss Robbie Coltrane, whether as Dr. Johnson or as Hagrid.

This is the episode that whilst channel hopping many decades ago introduced me to Blackadder, specifically the dream scene.

Rest in peace Robie Coltrane 😢😢😢

Prince George:
Ah, Dr. Johnson, damn cold day!

Dr. Samuel Johnson:
Indeed it is sir - but a very fine one, for I celebrated last night the encyclopedic implementation of my pre-meditated orchestration of demotic Anglo-Saxon.

Prince George:
Nope - didn't catch any of that.

Dr. Samuel Johnson:
Well, I simply observed, sir, that I'm felicitous since during the course of the penultimate solar sojourn, I terminated my uninterrupted categorisation of the vocabluary of our post-Norman tongue.

Prince George:
Well, I don't know what you're talking about, but it sounds damn saucy, you lucky thing! I know some fairly liberal-minded girls, but I've never penultimated any of them in a solar sojourn, or for that matter, been given any Norman tongue.

Blackadder:
I believe, sir, that the Doctor is trying to tell you that he is happy because he has finished his book. It has apparently taken him ten years.

Prince George:
Well, I'm a slow reader myself.

When I first saw this scene years ago I thought Edmund's fancy words were all made up by him. No chance did I think they were REAL words 😂

The Cast ...WAS meant to to be together ❤️

Robbie Coltrane (1950-2022), before he was…

- Valentine Zukovsky (Pierce Brosnan’s James Bond)
- Rubeus Hagrid (Harry Potter)
- Lord Dingwall (Disney/Pixar BRAVE)

A true classic

You're a schemer Edmond.

Everything about this scene is superb.

Hagrid, House and Mr Bean!

The Return of the Killer Dictionary... should be made into a movie.

That is Dr. House

I just realized that if the channel owner, Shirley Tung, is a mother, then she is literally the "Mother Tung", rather than English, in regards to this video. 😂

The accounts of Jesus used the common Greek. When William Tyndale was translating the Bible into English he wanted it to be understood by a ploughboy. I struggled at University, I worked at Pearl and we had a lady come in from the Plain English Campaign and I loved what she was saying about making everything as simple as we can. At another training event we had a fire alarm, before it started and the lady was saying that she hates complicated language to explain something simple. Driving can be overwhelming for some of my customers so I love breaking it down into simple chunks. One was not able to read or write, another didn’t go to Secondary School and the simple way they wanted to be taught I used on everyone. I think that is why I find this clip so hilarious…

Comedy at its best just brilliant acting

Rip Robbie

I missed the news until rewatching this. Robbie Coltrane was a cornerstone. Everything that is good and noble in this world must pass. The vile and nasty is all that lives forever. How are Piers Morgan and Jeremy Clarkson still alive while someone like Robbie Coltrane must leave us? It's difficult to deal with. This is not good news. Bring me some other news. 🙁

I was surprised when I found out this is Robbie Coltrane. Even though I had watched the show years ago, I only knew Robbie Coltrane as Hagrid. When I revisited this episode of Blackadder, I was blown away by his acting range and ability to change his voice and accents. RIP Legend and beloved actor Robbie Coltrane. You will never be forgotten.

Samuel Johnson 😂😂😂

Omg it IS Hagrid!!!

Dictionary 2: Electric Boogaloo

dr house, mr bean and hagrid enter a mansion

Simply brilliant !!!!!!!!!!’ The best comic sketch I have ever heard.

fake laugh track had me fleeing post-haste

Belated condolences to Robbie’s family and friends. RIP Robbie and thankyou for the warm memories

Rip Robbie ,a craftsman ,a scholar ,a professional, a Scotsman but above all a gentleman.

My all time favourite Blackadder episode with the wonderful Robbie Coltrane

RIP Robbie Coltrane

Such clever writing. One of the best comedy scenes ever.

I will never tire of Regency Blackaddfer, the best of the different historical eras in the series. Laurie is a delight! And oh, how we will miss Johnson/Hagrid/Robbie. RIP

RIP. LEGEND.

My favourite ever scene in Blackadder. I even got one of those words in my sermon on Sunday as a tribute to this comedy genius. My contrafibulariries to the script writers and actors for the felicitousness this scene has given me over the years

Wonderful! Just damned wonderful ! Making those episodes must have been a regular riot ! And a lot of re takes due to laughter and levity !

"sausage", "sausage". It was my favourite line said by a brilliant human being and a better actor. Black day for acting, comedy. RIP Robbie.

RIP Robbie. Great talent.

Farewell Robbie, an absolute staple of my upbringing,first loved him in Danny Champion of the world, my Dad worked with him on Cracker and confirmed my suspicion that he was a wonderful human being, a huge loss, this one will leave a scar just as Rick Mayall did and many other's will no doubt.

RIP

Genius 💗

Can I look up turnip?

This and the scene where Baldrick's contribution of dog...not a cat plus dream is comedy gold

It took him ten years to write this,

Well I am a slow reader


Best clip ever..... RIP big fella Robbie Coltrane

Came to this minute I heard - my very first introduction to him.
RIP

"Every single one, sir?". You know what's coming - and it's hilarious. Comedy genius.

love to your family robbie,you will be sadly missed,a genius 😢

I felt at the loss of Coltrane the way we're supposed to have felt when the Queen karked it. He was a great talent.

RIP Robbie Coltrane.
