Do those words actually exist ? ( although I suppose pericombobulated is related to discombobulation and can be created from the underlying root words. Note pericombobulated was not in microsoft edge dictionary and required being added to it
@@michaelrex6948 They appear to be creations of words made of "Peri" = around , combobulated ( presumably the opposite of discombobulated ) which really a main dictionary would put under the main word ( so Peptic for example )
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
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.
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
Actually, it turns out "sausage" is in Johnson's dictionary, just in the wrong place - the book got the word 'u' and 'v' mixed up, so "sausage" would have come after all the words beginning with "sav-".
He definitely made the character all his own. Whether he had input or was told how to play it, I don't know. But his expressions say as much as his dialogue.
@@DieFlabbergast I wouldn't inter-frantic.. would actually be the proper way But you do have my contrafibulariteis on the effort. Which also means pulling someone's leg
@@jasonbarnes957 so true .. very clever too ... also throw in Bob monkhouse I wasn't a Dan but after seeing a documentary he was very much overlooked for the great things he did .. I also did a tour with Bernard Manning .. another very misunderstood man. And when you actually got to know him a true gent.
Brilliant absolute genius. If there was a word to express this scene I’ve yet to hear it sheer unadulterated brilliance. ❤️❤️❤️🏴🏴👌👌👌🏴
I do believe we've heard all the words that can express about this scene and I wrote them down in this _complete and exhaustive_ dictionary over words to describe such a scene as this.
RIP Robbie, this performance was so funny yet surprisingly accurate portrayal of Dr Johnson had him returning to the Role a second time in 1993 the serious Historical film production "Dr Johnson & Boswell's Tour of The Western Isles" . The real Dr Johnson was a man before his time, progressive for his time & was quick to point out the hypocrisy of others such as certain American Founder Fathers for preaching Freedom whilst keeping Slaves & allying with the Absolute Monarchies of France & Spain. He did have a manservant Francis Barber who happened to be Black but he was Free, was a genuine friend of his and was left a fortune in his will, & his descendants are still involved with the Dr John museum.
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.
Sausage? SAUSAGE???!!! I remember watching Blackadder with my brother for the first time as a kid and both of us bursting into uncontrollable laughter when that came up. Good times.
When Dr. Samuel Johnson had completed the first real dictionary of the English language, he was visited by a delegation of respectable ladies of English society who wished to congratulate him for not including any indecent words. He then offered his most sincere contrafibularties to the ladies for taking the time to look them up. Christopher Hitchens
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. 🙁
Allow me to be the first to offer my deepest contrafibularities at the death of Robbie Coltrane. I am anaspetic, frasmotic and compunctuous at this news.
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.
Love Blackadder trolling the man who dedicated 20 years of his life to collating all the words in the English language at that time by making up words on the fly
@@mccarthy5825 this is mostly a misconception. Shakespeare is the first attestation of a large number of English words, but that's simply a reflection of the fact that he is such a well-preserved writer with a large body of work. The words he is often mistakenly said to have "invented" in newspaper articles etc. are usually simply words that the OED has (or at one point had) their first example as coming from a Shakespeare text. But those are most all pre-existing words for which no earlier written example's survive (or, as it turns out, which simply hadn't been found or noticed, being from much more obscure sources than the most famous English playwright to ever live).
My dad and I have always said that we will return interfrastically for over 40 years now! To the point where our entire extended family just accept it as a common expression, my eight year old daughter even uses it. If a comedy script has a throw away line that can last three generations it's proof positive that the writing was incredible
