brilliant.

BizarreRecords		2007-08-28 03:33:25 AM

I can't believe they just killed Balkie off like that.

That it be. That it be.

eyehate		2007-08-28 03:39:14 AM

Six Feet Under.

Javacrucian		2007-08-28 03:42:27 AM

Season 4 is generally my favorite, but I usually turn off the DVD just before the ending unless I'm in the mood for it. You can't watch that and not be moved.

You even feel sorry for Captain Darling - good writing indeed

Last One Left

"Yes it is", not "That it be". Now here is a bag of money which I'm not going to give to you.

DammitIForgotMyLogin		2007-08-28 03:46:55 AM

The same episode also brought the best explanation of how WWI started i've seen.

Slightly not safe for work due to gratuitous use of the word "bollocks"

Dusk-You-n-Me		2007-08-28 03:50:38 AM

eyehate: Six Feet Under.

This.

Maybe you should drive		2007-08-28 03:53:06 AM

BizarreRecords: I can't believe they just killed Balkie off like that.

It's an overused phrase for sure, but rarely do I literally laugh out loud. I just did.

Last One Left		2007-08-28 04:04:42 AM

Javacrucian: "Yes it is", not "That it be".

Yes, all right. Make a sentence out of the following words: 'face', 'sodding', 'your', 'shut'. ;)

Wabash		2007-08-28 04:13:17 AM

Obviously submitter never saw the death of David the Gnome. (pops)

Gwendolyn		2007-08-28 04:13:39 AM

That ostrich died for no reason.

Toshiro Mifune's Letter Opener		2007-08-28 04:30:48 AM

Even sadder and more profound than the Family Matters season finale where Urkel is sent into space and comes back a hero?

That's a bold statement, subby.

orlandogreer		2007-08-28 04:35:58 AM

At least until Blackadder Back & Forth, which is available on Youtube if you've never seen it.

SpinStopper		2007-08-28 04:37:11 AM

Brought a tear to me eye. I loved that series.

Cagey B		2007-08-28 04:41:27 AM

But is it sadder than Jurassic Bark?

meekychuppet		2007-08-28 04:42:54 AM

Series 4 was the best, the ending was very poignant.

sweetlamb		2007-08-28 05:15:53 AM

never saw the show

Wabash		2007-08-28 05:20:03 AM

Cagey B: But is it sadder than Jurassic Bark?

Nothing is sadder than Jurassic Bark, but that wasn't the end of the series.

Eddie_Dean_NY		2007-08-28 05:43:39 AM

Sadly, that beats even the last MASH.

The pure futility of WWI seems to be lost on most of the current population.

weazelbeater		2007-08-28 05:47:24 AM

Hmm. Well, this is the saddest picture you'll ever see.

ElPresidente		2007-08-28 06:01:07 AM

For once, a headline that is correct.

meekychuppet		2007-08-28 06:02:32 AM

Eddie_Dean_NY: The pure futility of WWI seems to be lost on most of the current population.

QFT. Blackadder's explanation hits home - "It was too much effort not to have a war".

goeniegoegoe		2007-08-28 06:07:58 AM

I love that show.

Lampmonster		2007-08-28 07:23:01 AM

Cagey B: But is it sadder than Jurassic Bark?

Why did I almost watch that. Would have made me sad for the whole day.

rocinante721		2007-08-28 07:31:35 AM

Sounds like someone wasn't watching TV LAND finale of M*A*S*H last night!

GoSpelunking		2007-08-28 07:33:51 AM

Was that Hugh Laurie I saw there?

Oh, man, you are going to have us buying another boxed set of DVDs.

I Am The Mole		2007-08-28 07:35:10 AM

Considering my dog just died after 13 years, Jurrasic Bark gets my vote as some seriously sad shiat.

ekdikeo4		2007-08-28 07:41:20 AM

Umm.. I don't get it. In the slightest bit.

Go Fast Turn Left		2007-08-28 07:42:47 AM

I'll see your WWI show and raise you: Comedy Central's Tough Crowd ending.

GoSpelunking		2007-08-28 07:44:50 AM

This gives me a better idea of what this is all about:

Black Addar I Intro-Outro

Okay, it's British comedy, slapstick as all get out and probably indifferent to historical facts.

ThatWomanFromMassachusetts		2007-08-28 07:45:09 AM

Wabash: Obviously submitter never saw the death of David the Gnome. (pops)

Oh. My. God. I have *never* seen that. Was that really part of the series?

Now I can't decide whether or not to forward that link to my kid, who's now an adult, because I'm afraid it might upset her. She *loved* that show as a kid ... probably still does.

Onker		2007-08-28 08:14:48 AM

Yes, that was Hugh...

peewinkle		2007-08-28 08:20:59 AM

Sadder than The Young Ones finale?

arollo		2007-08-28 08:22:36 AM

I can buy Hogans Heroes making concentration camps funny, I can buy M*A*S*H making the Korean War funny, but damn it, how do you make a World War One comedy?

shpritz		2007-08-28 08:28:27 AM

Wait... David the Gnome died?

* goes off to sob in the corner *

The Fourth Karamazov		2007-08-28 08:31:12 AM

Nevermind the bollocks.

Answered that for ya.

bugmn99		2007-08-28 08:48:37 AM

There, there Smitty. According to Jim affects each of us diifferently.

Hagbard Celine Dion		2007-08-28 09:09:35 AM

I remember watching the BlackAdder DVD set in a few sittings, and after that last episode I sat there simply agog.

/a-wibble.

Tom_Servo		2007-08-28 09:11:40 AM

Why is House in that trench w/Mr. Bean? What is going on here?

Your_Huckleberry		2007-08-28 09:30:54 AM

weazelbeater 2007-08-28 05:47:24 AM
Hmm. Well, this is the saddest picture you'll ever see.

I've never seen that before, is that how the strip ended?

calm like a bomb		2007-08-28 09:35:53 AM

GoSpelunking: Was that Hugh Laurie I saw there? Oh, man, you are going to have us buying another boxed set of DVDs.

I'd wait until Fox screws up and gets "House" canceled. He's so freaking brilliant as a complete idiot in Blackadder you'll have a hard time watching him play serious.

calm like a bomb		2007-08-28 09:37:57 AM

Tom_Servo: Why is House in that trench w/Mr. Bean? What is going on here?

Either you're making a funny or you've never heard of public television. See, there is this channel called the B-B-C in this far off, mythical place called "England".........

evilmrsock		2007-08-28 09:59:28 AM

Saddest and most profound ending to a show for my money is this:

Ghost in the Shell SAC: Second Gig

If you haven't seen the show, you probably won't be as touched - but suffice it to say that this probably one of the best examples of character development that will ever exist in a television format.

no, C&H go exploring.

jrodnewb		2007-08-28 10:06:36 AM

i don't know what that was...but the true saddest ending to a series has to be none other than Fox's Anchorwoman...

/did anyone else think that said BlackLadder or BackLadder?

dj_spanmaster		2007-08-28 10:14:00 AM

weazelbeater: Hmm. Well, this is the saddest picture you'll ever see.

Weazelbeater, be glad I'm no admod.

beve		2007-08-28 10:26:49 AM

Hugh Laurie on DVD: Blackadder The Third, Blackadder Goes Forth, A Bit Of Fry And Laurie - all genius.

The Dynamite Monkey		2007-08-28 10:28:09 AM

It was much sadder when jack tripper turned out the lights the the apartment.

Doctor Hooey		2007-08-28 10:36:43 AM

All in the Family FTW
