Someone quoted this from Dad's Army in a meeting I was in yesterday and although I'm sure I've heard it before, for some reason it had me chuckling for ages. Anyone got any other brilliant sitcom one-liners?

    Captain Blackadder: "Don't forget your stick Lieutenant"
    Lieutenant George: "Rather, sir. Wouldn't want to face a machine gun without this".

    I thought he had a cunning plan or am I remembering it wrong.
    Another line from blackadder - the one where hugh laurie was a prince - "I may be as thick as a whale ommlette".

    Another from Slackbladder (the Third this time) - there are just so many. I happened to use this one the other day, hence why it sprung to mind.

    or rather "Your Kock up..........my ar5e"
  • not the greatest line in british sit-com but the best example of timing:

    Gareth Cheeseman (under-rated Steve Coogan character) is a BAD salesman who somehow manages to land a massive computer contract at a conference. As the MD walks off,camera focuses on GC who says "great......time for a w4nk".
    Cut to a maid walking in on the Cheesemeister in his room, trousers down, caught in flagrante (no bicycle thankfully).

    Utter class

    Talking of cheese...

    Parody of a Python sketch from the Young Ones,

    Alexis Sayle (as John Cleese doing a Silly Walk): 'Scuse me, is this a cheese shop?
    Rik Mayall (as Michael Palin): No sir.
    Sayle: (to camera) Well that's that sketch knackered then innit?!

  • Captain Blackadder: Baldrick, what are you doing out there?
    Private Baldrick: I'm carving something on a bullet, sir.
    Captain Blackadder: What are you craving?
    Private Baldrick: I'm carving "Baldrick", sir.
    Captain Blackadder: Why?
    Private Baldrick: It's part of a cunning plan, sir.
    Captain Blackadder: Of course it is.
    Private Baldrick: You know how they say that somewhere there's a bullet with your name on it?
    Captain Blackadder: Yes?

    top tip - print them all out, and use them to look as though you're studying an important report - great way to waste an afternoon at your desk just don't break out in fits of laughterwhile you're doing it

    Not unless you were at the Beacon Roads CC committee meeting last night too?

    I wonder just how many people quoted those exact words in meetings yesterday?
