Mr. Bean & House do History

I have always been impressed by those who can cover up their natural accent, and sound like someone totally different.  Most Americans who are fans of the show House would not believe that Hugh Laurie was British.  I start with this observation because everyone needs to see clips of one of his earliest works called Blackadder.  He was in the third and fourth seasons of this highly regarded British Comedies from the 1980s that starred Rowan Atkinson before he was Mr. Bean.  The comedy follows a family through four eras of British History from 1485-1917.  I find it similar to America's MASH.  It is a laugh out loud comedy that still shows the drama of history.  The following are two of my favorite clips from the fourth season dealing with the trenches of WWI.
