Was thinking about the last question i posted (Blackadder vs Red dwarf) and these two seemed to be a factor in decided which was best so thought id put it to further scrutiny.

It's a close call but Blackadder gets my vote.
I think that Rowan Atkinson just has a way with words. He somehow makes everyday words laugh out funny. I guess he was a way of emphasising the right syllables in a word.
He has a great beetle-browed, rubbery face and no-one can say the name 'Bob' the way he does.
Chris Barrie is an equally fine performer, but imo Rowan just shades it.
Plus he looked damned hot in Blackadder 2. :-D

In my opinion -which seems to be a minority of one - Rimmer is the better character. Blackadder has to use all the gurning and slapstick that Rowan Atkinson is most famous for to make some weak (not many I admit) scripts funny. Rimmer has more pathos, which to me is the hallmark of great comedy.
Apart from the last episode of Blackadder, which is peerless, I put Arnold Rimmer ahead of Edmund Blackadder.

Although i prefer Red dwarf to Blackadder , Blackadder was a better character than Rimmer , but i would have thought Lister vs Edmund would have been a better comparison .Badrick vs Rimmer and Lord Percy vs Kryten or Cat vs Lord Flasheart.

Blackadder.
The path of my life is strewn with cowpats from the devil's own satanic herd.
