No, no! Ask your friends to advertise!

This calls for a cunning plan.

Perhaps the voter will stab himself cruelly in the stomach while shaving, and we shall be able to take up residence in the rotten borough.

it could be worse. You could be "described by almost everyone else as a fat, flatulent git" So you have something to be thankfull for.

And at least I'm not from Guildford after all.

I did in fact live in Guildford for several years. There are worse places (Worthing, for example).

It may be that the result of this quiz will be found only when we have 42 votes.

In the meantime, I shall have my turnip as God intended!

I lived in Guildford too for a bit, on and off.

And I shall go and sit on Mr A. Two spikes would be an extravagance.

You do realise that this is the kind of question that can bring Western civilisation to a grinding halt?

Oh wait, that wouldn't be your cunning plan, would it?

Yes it is, not 'that it be'.

(I contemplated creating another LJ just so I could vote for both.)

Down's nice.

Hitch-hiker!

Mostly because I can't stand Mr. Atkinson's expressions...

I require clarifications... do you mean funnier is a sort of subtler way or funnier in a sort of side-splitting way?

I'm going to leave definitions to the individual voter.

Mr A. and I had a discussion about this kind of thing last night. We agreed that Blackadder was more consistent, whereas Hitchhiker's had more flashes of genius. So he chose Blackadder while I picked Hitchhiker's.

From: [identity profile] altariel.livejournal.com
And Mr. Atkinson's expressions are a large part of the joke!

I think you're right:) Blackadder also seemed relatively more side-splitting to me than Hitchhiker which is more of a bring a smile to your face kind of flash of genius. Definitely genius!
Blackadder sort of works at a more spontaneous level. Hitchhiker works spontaneously in parts and in a sort of grow upon you way in parts. I quite like it that way though:)

I voted Blackadder... I need quickie funnies right now. So very subjective. I shall probably feel diferently tomorrow.

From: [identity profile] altariel.livejournal.com
I'm realizing it's ages since I've watched any 'Blackadder'. I had large chunks of it memorized by the time I left university... I wonder if I can still recite it after *cough* years...

Therefore I never made it past the third episode of Black Adder......:p

Hm, well, I seem to have started rereading Hitch-hiker's first... Oh well, there's only five books...

Ooh! goody:)

Oh well, > there's only five books...
I once reread the first four at one go ... during a 28 hour train journey. Along with a rather insipid issue of MAD.

You could now start reciting Vogon poetry then?
