EDIT.
Sorry, thought you said Goes Forth and not Back and Forth.

At least two Blackadders succeeded Captain B. from season 4. His grandson from Back and Forth, and his relative (cousin, brother?) who was a general in the British Armed Forces demanding that the U.K go to war with France.

Back And Forth was unintended, came ten years later, and like every Blackadder made since BGF it was a one-shot created for a special occasion (in this case, the Millennium celebrations). The comment about the Blackadder line ending in 1917 comes straight from show creator Richard Curtis.

I think a lot of it comes down to Goodbyeee where everyone save Melchett and Haig are stripped down to their barest. Blackadder's cowardice stems from his career of putting down colonial uprisings, George is terrified of going into battle sue to all of his childhood friends being dead, Darling has a fiance waiting for him, and Baldrick comes to terms with his ignorance and suddenly realizes just what a nightmare he's living in.

It's a testament to the shows writing that these scenes are simultaneously hilarious and heartbreaking, and the moment it shifts gears with George's one line:
"I'm scared sir."

Melchett and Haig don't get those moments of realization that affects their world view so they come off as one dimensional caricatures in comparison to the trench men.

A similarly fantastic piece of comedy about the trenches is Wipers Times, about the illicit newspaper that got started when a squad in Ypres rescued a damaged printing press, with lots of surreal cutaways to soldiers performing music hall.

The full text of all Wipers Times issues is online, and it's full of glorious gallows humour, as well as a serialised short story about the adventures of Herlock Sholmes

A subtle bit from the TV show Get Shorty is how every time Miles describes the plot of the movie he's trying to make he keeps adding on stuff from his own life. He learns his separated wife has a new boyfriend and all of a sudden he's talking about how his Irish soldier main character is being cuckolded.

There's a Get Shorty TV show?

It stars Chris O'Dowd as Miles, a gangster trying to get a movie made and Ray Romano as the DTV movie producer that Miles teams up with. It airs on Epix, the movie channel, which might be why you haven't heard of it.

Also Topher Grace is on it as a B-list actor with delusions of grandeur.

Related: the other day I got curious if anyone ever made a Big Lebowski porn parody, and of course they did, but what really struck me watching the trailer was that pretty much every single scene in Big Lebowski could be a setup for a sex scene with very little changes required. Like, even apart from the obvious joke about "the Big Lebowski", it effortlessly writes itself.

e:
"I'll suck your dick for a thousand dollars"
"this is what happens when you gently caress a stranger in the rear end"
"eighteen-year-olds, Dude"
seriously not even half of what you could do

WampaLord posted:

You know the real genius of that scene? Al Pacino's character, Roma, the best salesman, isn't there.

Why would he be? He doesn't need the talk, he's a loving master at the craft. And his method is nothing like Blake's ABC manifesto, he seduces the customer over a long period of time before even bringing up that he's selling anything at all.

Blake is wrong, and the movie proves it. Roma only loses the sale because of the manager's fuckup.

I agree Roma is the best salesman and he doesn't need the speech, but I always thought he was basically embodying the speech anyway. He goes out and does exactly what Blake says: he finds people who want to give him their money and gets them to give it to him. The method of it doesn't matter; Blake never mentions the method. His whole speech is that the bottom line is what matters.

And it's not subtle at all that Roma isn't there. It's explicitly mentioned. Twice in the first 10 minutes of the film.

Watching Blazing Saddles and there's a joke I missed because it's on screen for only about a second. Right after the Waco Kid shoots out all of Taggart's men's guns, when all the railroad workers are high fiving him, you can see his guns burning holes through their holsters.
