First! hehe, sorry, never done that before, also blackadder is awesome!
Many Finns frequently use profanity in everyday speech. While not all Finns swear, frequent swearing is a mark of youth culture. However, it is commonly considered impolite to swear excessively, in public and official occasions and particularly in front of children.
The words often have old origins, and some have Pagan roots, that after Christian influence were turned from names of deities and spirits to profanity and used as such. Nowadays few Finns know of the origins and intended original use of the words. Finnish swearwords can be used as adjectives or adverbs with proper conjugation.
The people in the neighbouring countries to Finland often consider Finnish swear words harsher than their own, and even use heavily mis-pronounced versions of them, most notably perkele. Native Finns tend to consider the harshness exaggerated, while others use it to their advantage.
There is a book made by Jari Tammi named Suuri kirosanakirja (“The great book of profanity”), which is literally a list of Finnish swear words. The book is published by WSOY, and the first edition was published in 1993.
Additionally, virtually any word can be used in place of profanity by for example preceding it with voi (an interjection meaning “oh!”, for example voi paska “oh shit!”) or adding vieköön (third person singular imperative of the verb viedä “to take”, for example hiisi vieköön “may a demon take it”).[clarification needed] These were more prominent in older Finnish, e.g. raato “dead body” or peto “predator”. There are also other similar non-offensive constructs like taivahan talikynttilät (“tallow candles of heaven”). There is also an inventory of non-offensive curse words.
…that was actually very interesting. I read the whole thing.
Nicely handled, Paws!
Blackadder ROCKS! Still my fave of all time!

forgot the “I”
Indeed it is. And congratulations on your first First! I don’t get why people hate that game. I guess they’re just pissed they weren’t first.
Ok Heather, exactly what other situation do you feel it’s acceptable to stand up and shout “I’m an unoriginal moron” in?
None. Hence why people do it on the Internet. Just chill out, everyone is allowed to be an ‘unoriginal moron’ once in their lives.
I grew up with Hugh playing roles like this so it was such a shock when he unleashed his inner beast as House.
Which of course is the best thing that has ever been on TV ever. EVER!
The first movie I ever saw him in was Stuart Little, and being the rabid House fan that I am, I can’t watch that movie without putting in some of the “House-isms” randomly in there. ^^
It’s too funny when someone finds out that he’s a Brit comedian.
And then they ask if he really plays the piano!
Humanity is overrated — oh…..time for tea!
My kids like House, so one day I slapped Blackadder dvd’s on the box for them; as part of a well rounded education. The looks on their faces were priceless as the light dawned…OMG! THAT’S HOUSE!!! LOLOLOLOL
Kids…so sure they know everything there is to know, but without any sense of history previous to their existence. Bless lol
Hooray for Blackadder75! Good job my friend!
Thick as a whale omlet.
sillyness
Blackadder is WAY better than House.
I see where you’re coming from, but they’re such completely different types of show. I really don’t think they’ve anything in common other than Hugh Laurie.
I think Hugh Laurie, whilst a great actor, should always be English and should always be funny. He’s just too good at it; may I direct your attention the roaring incident.
Indeed!
yeah, House blows. when it started it was good but each episode gets progressively worse.
Except for the occasions where it’s better than some of the boring “It’s not lupus” episodes in the middle of the series.
No one else did it, I’ll be shallow…
He’s HOT now.
Eh, he always was – he just doesn’t wear silly wigs in House
Although, I wouldn’t put it past House to suddenly walk into a scene wearing a silly wig
Apparently an upcoming episode of “House” will feature an 80s party, and House will show up in 1780s costume (hey, the invitation didn’t specify 1980s). I’m assuming it’s going to look something like this. And yes, “Blackadder” is awesome in its way.
wtf? I will have to check this show out.
a little snippet, for anyone who has not experienced the crazy fun of Blackadder
thanks, bluesfan. All the British comedies are my favorites
Blackadder the Third made me laugh my backside off. My best friend can tell you I nearly drowned because I chose the wrong moment to take a drink of water. *Serious* sporfling warning here!
It’s never smallpox…
this reminds me of anne lennox walking on broken glass
Except that that isn’t Regency period clothing, that’s damn Rococo.
That’s the best comment I’ve seen all day. Thanks.
Any real G would know
Thank you. My sole purpose in checking the comments was to see if anyone noted that this was NOT Regency Era. Beau Brummel is rolling in his grave.
BlackAdder is epic Win! So is Jeeves and Wooster and Fry and Laurie and his many other things that I have known him from.
My friend and I first learned of House as we walked by a grocery check out and saw the cover of TV Guide: “hugh Laurie: Americans Sexist Man”
We were like WTF???????????????
Since then I have subverted many a House fan by exposing them to his previous career.
I think he is Equally good at all roles– and applaud him his range. But House gets a bit old– same plot over and over. But I really enjoyed the few episodes I watched for the acting.
I recently caught part of a movie called Stuart Little? It was about a mouse and didn’t even reconize the man! I love him no matter what he does-he is just too sexy to not love…..
I think I also saw him as a villain in a Home Alone movie?
And he’s some guy in the Borrowers too.
No, that was Daniel Stern.
I just saw him on an old Friends rerun too…
And I think he was in the live action version of 101 Dalmations…
First appearance on TV was probably narrowly losing in the 1980 Oxford – Cambridge Boat Race.
meh, this show wasn’t as good as ‘house m.d.- 1914-1917′
Word. Black Adder Goes Forth is (IMHO) by far the funniest of the Black Adder series.
Booooo. I prefer Blackadder II
Blackadder II FTW.
“It’s NEVER the black plague!”
Um, except for that episode in season two…
I was shocked and amazed to see him as the father on both the Stewart Little talking mouse movies.
Ugh, not reading previous comments FAIL
i think hugh laurie was funny in blackadder goes forth, but better in the blackadder ii episode “chains”, where he is the german count “greasy shorty spot spot”. sorry to have onconwenienced you, good byeeeeeeeeeee!
Hugh! I love him equally in every single one of his roles (with the exception of Stuart Little, because that movie was a disgrace to the amazing book). House, A Bit of Fry & Laurie, Blackadder, Jeeves & Wooster… I can’t get enough of the man. He exposed me to British comedy.
THANK YOU!!!!! I tried to watch that movie with my little niece and ended up leaving the room before I did something drastic to the DVD player. The book is so amazing and charming, and the movie has nothing to do with it! Well, almost nothing–there is, in fact, a mouse named Stuart Little in both the book and the movie. And that’s about it.
Because one expects charm and wit in a book about an orphaned mouse who happens to be able to talk. Did we mention he was adopted by some random family in random New York (Is this right? I haven’t watched it since I was 10 some years.) in some random tiny house? Oh yeah, he also makes friends with a bird who happens to talk and a cat who can talk as well, but not to the people. NEVER THE PEOPLE!
Rawr I meant movie not book.
My favourite Blackadder moment:
“You shot my speckled Jim!”
I love Blackadder…
They don’t make sitcoms like Blackadder anymore. Now they are all modern day settings where boring characters do boring things and expect you to find it interesting. Most of the newer comedies these days aren’t worth watching.
I love Hugh Laurie in Black Adder, though I prefer Black Adder II myself; Miranda Richardson as Queen Elizabeth is the best!
For you Hugh Laurie/Black Adder fans, you should check out Jeeves and Wooster. It stars Hugh Laurie as a dim-witted young playboy and Stephen Frye as his cynical butler whose always bailing him out of getting married off by his rich aunt. It’s another period sitcom, taking place in the 1930’s (maybe 20’s?). Hilarious!!!
Early stories in the 20s, later in the 30s. (when PG Wodehouse wrote the books).
I always find it amusing to see all the house-references when it comes to Hugh Laurie when I can’t seem to think about him as anyone but the dimwitted Prince Regent or the equally dimwitted (yet good-hearted and to women somehow enormously attractive) Bertram Wilberforce Wooster. The former of BlackAdder (or as Prince George the Prince Regent calls him: Bladders) III and the latter of Jeeves and Wooster. Also, whenever I hear/say his name I can’t seem to stop myself from thinking Huge Lorry… my point being that I don’t seem to be able to take him seriously… at all…
Please accept my apologies.
