The reason he has pencils up his nose is he is trying to get discharged. Putting underpants on you head, sticking pencils up your nose and uttering the words "cluck, cluck, jibber, jibber, my old mans a mushroom" was, according to Blackadder a good enough act to be rendered mad, and thus discharged. Its does not go to plan, of course. :)

The plan was to be discharged for being mad, but, of course, general Melchett knows this old trick, forcing Blackadder to drop the act. He ends up getting desperate, and calls in a favor from Field Marshal Haig, who... advises him to put underpants on his head, stick a pair of pencils up his nose, and pretend to be mad...

I'm sure you've been told time and time again, but when you think you've got the hang of the Blackadder series, watch the last scenes of the very last Blackadder - the WW1 over the top one. A friend of mine's husband was involved in the production, and her father, who'd been there as a young soldier, was furious that it was to be made fun of. So they gave him a pre-production video and he watched it alone. They came back in and he was in tears, got his blessing.

But I loved it when he called the archeologists "anally retentive" to their faces. [Note: the real first episode was S01E03, followed by 1, 2, 4]

Well, as a German I do feel the need to educate a little: we actually do have a word for fluffy. It's flauschig. So, uh... Just in case anyone was wondering. It's more along the lines of the cliche of us being so tough we don't know fluffy. Or... So... I also do have a semi random fun fact about Germans and toilet culture. Did you know, that we're the only society on the planet in which the majority NEATLY folds the toilet paper for wiping instead of crumbling it up to a ball-ish object? There's actually a scientific study about that. Don't ask me why anyone would do a study about how people wipe their arse but... hmkay... Good to know. 🤷‍♀️

Blackadder had underpants on his head and 2 pencils up his nose as it’s an old trick from the Sudan where they done that and were sent home because they were mad and Blackadder is trying to avoid going over the top of the trenches to certain death. Only problem is the General (Stephen Fry) knows the trick and says before seeing Blackadder “has he really gone mad or has he just stuck a pair of pants on his head and a couple of pencils up his nose? I had to shoot a whole platoon in the Sudan for doing that”
