Blackadder has so much quotable stuff. My second favourite one just turned up on late night TV.
This on whilst not voiced as its too long as a one liner makes me chuckle when I come across any mad planning
Melchett: You look surprised, Blackadder.
Edmund: I certainly am, sir. I didn't realise we had any battle plans.
Melchett: Well, of course we have! How else do you think the battles are directed?
Edmund: Our battles are directed, sir?
Melchett: Well, of course they are, Blackadder -- directed according to the Grand Plan.
Edmund: Would that be the plan to continue with total slaughter until every- one's dead except Field Marshal Haig, Lady Haig and their tortoise, Alan?
Melchett: Great Scott! (stands) Even you know it! Guard! Guard! Bolt all the doors; hammer large pieces of crooked wood against all the windows! This security leak is far worse than we'd imagined!
All the scripts are here
Now a game of guess my most favourite quote :-)

Baldrick: I have a cunning plan sir...
Blackadder: Would the plan be as cunning as a fox, who has just been made Professor of Cunning at Oxford University?
(that's one of mine, anyway)
Close :-) I do like the "plan so cunning you could shave with it"
"purest green" is also very good.
and not forgetting the wise woman sketch "no just a wild stab in the dark, which is what you will be getting if you are not careful"
all veyr good but not my favourite :-)
OK, what about
"This is a crisis. A large crisis. In fact, if you got a moment, it's a twelve-storey crisis with a magnificent entrance hall, carpeting throughout, 24-hour portage, and an enormous sign on the roof, saying 'This Is a Large Crisis'. A large crisis requires a large plan. Get me two pencils and a pair of underpants."
