For angearia, who wanted "Buffy wondering what the hell is up with that icon you're using". Watch out for the sneaky slash.

Probably The Most Unexpected Double Entendre In The World
Early season 5-ish.

The movie quote game around the Scoobies' table at the Bronze seized abruptly when Spike sat down unbidden with a large glass of Carlsberg. He downed the beer in one long gulp and sighed: "Worth waiting for." His expectant grin faded when he saw everyone's clueless faces. "Come on! 1958? Desert march? Sir John Mills, Sylvia Sims...?"

"...Who?"

"Bloody yanks. Ice Cold In Alex! The greatest war movie ever made!"

Buffy frowned. "What kind of a title is that?"

"Well," Spike sneered, "ask Xander, he doesn't mind a cold one in -"

Xander blushed bright red and quickly changed the subject.

LMAO!!

I still can't see Hugh Laurie without seeing him as Prince George in Blackadder.

Me too! Watching House always makes me long to re-watch some Blackadder.

Thanks!

Man, Blackadder was a great series, wasn't it?

It was brilliant, and after providing some of the funniest TV ever, it ended with a very powerful anti-war image.

It's a pity that those Americans who only know HL from House and movies don't appreciate the true extent of his comedic genius, as demonstrated best in Blackadder and A Bit of Fry and Laurie.

I actually wrote meta on the similarities between Blackadder s4 and Angel s5 once (http://beer-good-foamy.livejournal.com/16524.html). :-)
