Black Adder.  Genius.  It doesn’t always travel with international audiences who see it as some perverse/eccentric English thing, or worse, think it is played straight and not for laughs, like some bad period drama.   But everyone likes slapstick and violence.  I saw this clip used on a communications skills workshop.  The point was being made about how forcibly to make the point in communications.  How direct can you be.  Sometimes you have to adopt radical techniques to get your message across.  They showed this clip.  Enjoy.
