English gallows humour

This link shows a video clip of a very popular comedy series in Britain from 1989.
It is the very last episode of the forth and final series following the life and times of the fictitious Blackadder.
You might want to let it stream a bit before trying to watch it, to prevent break up in the transmission.

This particular episode has been voted one of British television's greatest moments, the last few minutes being very moving.

This second link gives a resume of the programme.

I thought it might appeal to you fellows. Some lines reference very English quirks which may not make sense but then I may be misjudging the Americans. If so, please don't take offence.

If you haven't seen it before, I hope you enjoy it. Many a tear has been shed at the end in this country.
