h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I am interestred to know readers favourite blackadder similes

mine is

"This is the stickiest situation since sticky the stick insect got stuck on a sticky bun"

Alan

One of the best

However I like This could be the greatest day for art since the Mona Lisa told Leonardo Da Vinci she was in a slightly odd mood

Apologies if its not word perfect

Mine would be:
It's the worst plan since Abraham Lincoln said, 'Oh I'm sick of kicking around the house tonight. Let's take in a show.'
And:
I thought you were the least convincing female impressionist since Tarzan went through Jane's handbag and ate her lipstick.

HOW ABOUT:

YOU DRESS LIKE A MAD PARROT AND TALK LIKE A PLATE OF BEANS
NEGOTIATING ITS WAY THROUGH A COWS DIGESTIVE SYSTEM!

You ride a horse rather less well than another horse would.

You look like a bird who's swallowed a plate. (and of course the next lines: I think it makes me look rather sexy! To another plate swallowing bird perhaps, who hadn't had it in months. LOVE, love LOVE that scene.)

Then ,the quintessential simile, and practically motto of the Adders Black creed:
as cunning as a fox who's just been appointed Professor of cunning at Oxford University.

And, as a follow up to that legendary one, from Blackadder BAck And Forth -

As cunning as a fox that used to be professor of cunning at Oxford University, but has moved on, and is now working for the UN at the High Commission of Internation Cunning Planning.

But it doesn't have quite the same ring does it?

what about

'He's madder than Mad Jack McMad, the winner of last year's Mr. Madman competion!'

Always goes down well with my year 5 class!!

How about (to Baldrick): "Your head is as empty as a hermit's addressbook."

The worst entertainer since St Paul the Evangelist toured Palestine with his trampolining act

Another good one:

BOB: ...I want to see how a war is fought, so badly.

BA: Well, Bob, you've come to the right place here then. A war hasn't been fought this badly since Olaf the Hairy, High Chief of all the Vikings, accidentally ordered 80,000 battle helmets with the horns on the inside.

or . . .

BA: Baldrick, your head is as empty as a eunuch's underpants

or . . .

BA: you are as thick as clotted cream that's been left out by some clot, until the clots are so clotted together you couldn't unclot them with an electric de-clotter

Priceless!
