"Baldrick, why do dislike the first, original series of The Black Adder?"
"I dunno. I suppose it's because the Baldrick character is smart and Black Adder character is stupid."
"Why does that bother you so much?"
"Well I suppose that it's more funny to see a stupid guy being made to look stupid who isn't in charge of anything."
"Go on."
"In the first series the Prince looks stupid, but he's in charge of things so they go wrong. In the other series, Blackadder looks smart because he has all these cunning plans, and so things go wrong."
"Brilliant. A brilliant analysis considering that your body contains absolutely no brain tissue!"
