Calling all Blackadder IV fans

Labcoatguy · July 2nd, 2008, 04:37 AM

I'm halfway through part 5 of this great series, and can't stop laughing every time Melchett (Stephen Fry) makes that MBEHHHH! noise. Does anyone remember how often, and around when in each episode, he makes that noise? I remember two off the top of my head. I plan on putting together a compilation sound clip of them for use as a ringtone, and if anyone would be willing to help out I'd greatly appreciate it. I'll post a link to the finished product as thanks for your help.

The best comedy series E-V-E-R! My other favourite sound is when Blackadder calls: Boooldrick! images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Another great Stephen Fry sound is his laugh in Episode 4 General Hospital when he meets the nurse: How do you do young lady me-he-he images/smilies/biggrin.gif

I'm actually surprised that an american would like the Blackadder series. So far none of the of the americans I've played it liked it, they said that it isn't funny. Well, I'm sorry it isn't as obvious and retarded as the pile-of-s*** Family Guy!

Hugh Laurie FTW in Blackadder. He plays the idiot so brilliantly in all of the seasons...

The last scene, in the last show, is really rather powerful - perhaps does not touch foreigners as much as Brits (Aussies, Canadians and New Zealanders excepted I think) but my goodness! I read that the actors could only do the scene once - they had choked up completely.

Blackadder is one of the best comedies ever made, British or otherwise.

A very sad but fitting ending to a quite brilliant series. You are right Cobal74, anyone from a Commonwealth countries will be quite moved by the final shot.

I am a bit of a Commonwealth expat, being a dual citizen with Canada, so I have some Commonwealth appreciation for the WWI stuff in Blackadder IV. It is definitely funny, yes, but for some reason I find it hard to listen to in an audio-only setting; the copy I have on my computer is taken from a BBC radio broadcast, so perhaps I have to watch it to fully enjoy it. That's why I'm asking about the locations of the Melchett bellow; I didn't enjoy it enough to go back and re-listen to it. So, anyone?

EDIT: Here it is, a compilation of General Melchett's bellows, combined with other times Stephen Fry has made the noise. It sounded so much better as an idea in my head...
