Worst Acting in a Comedy Episode

[SteK]

Has to be the woman, I hesitate to use the term 'actress' or 'actor' as it now, who played Lord Farrow's wife in the 'Head' episode of Blackadder II. She's rubbish! It's a shame cos it's a great scene where he's 'bagged-up' getting where in the room she is wrong and turning, and then about to receive a BJ and 'Time's up!' 'No it isn't!!'....

Same goes for the kid who played Pitt the Younger in Blackadder The Third, he was not quite as bad but had this horrible adenoidal tone.

Been on a Blackadder bingewatch.....

Then you'll have seen the lad in The Black Adder, the sort of servant character, curly hair, big lad. Shite.

You'll need to go a long way to beat Noel Fielding's brother in TMB.  Arguably the worst human being ever.

The bloke who says "Watch it!" near the end of The Comic Strip's 'Private Enterprise'.

I know who you mean, but he's only in the first series I think, which I still don't like....

Never seen The Mighty Bush believe it or not!

The bloke playing Mark's personal trainer in this episode of Peep Show is absolutely appalling.

He is! And he's a fellow Boltonian.

Psychoville is probably one of the best-cast shows I've seen ... except for the actor playing Robert (the dwarf), who would've seemed a bit hammy in a school play, and completely arses up most of the jokes that should've landed perfectly. As a result, that whole subplot is nearly unwatchable for me, but Daisy Haggard just about saves it.

It's hard to find a good dwarf these days.

[SteK]

The guy who plays the Scotsman quibbling over 29p on his bill on Fawlty Towers was rubbish too.

Gervais and Kay have cornered the dwarf market.

He seems ideal for this role. Could it depend on one's attitude to gyms? I would never set foot in one and this character is the Face of Gyms to me. Blandly handsome is always irritating as well. Anyway I've seen a lot worse.

Little guy with the turban in the Mighty Boosh is inept.

[Lisa Jesusandmarychain]

Little guy with the turban in the Mighty Boosh is Noel Fielding's brother

I know you probably knew that,  but it does explain how he got the gig.

[Jim Bob]

The little fella with the funny lips who wears a turban in The Mighty Boosh.  I think he's actually Noel Fielding's Brother in real life.

[Pearly-Dewdrops Drops]

Noel Fielding's brother on Great British Bake Off.

I am Noel Fielding's brother.

I'm Noel Fielding's brother and so's my wife...

Britney Spears was pretty shit in How I Met Your Mother

I have something rolling around in the back of my subconscious but I can't think what it is... mebbe a bit-player in an old OFAH episode or summit.

I dunno about bit player, Glebe. I think Cassandra was in all of them from 1989 onwards.

Similar thread not that long ago here https://www.cookdandbombd.co.uk/forums/index.php/topic,72902.0.html .

No one nominates Leslie Ash in Men Behaving Badly so it's probably just me.

Looks like I agree with me from the old thread!

[Lisa Jesusandmarychain]

Polly Booth in " Fawlty Towers ", but only when she says " Oh, you dago dodo! ", and when she's telling off Basil after threatening her with never waitressing in Torquay again.

Convincing English accent, mind.

Hammy actor rather than crap actor, though.

Nah I just think she's crap, if someone's in a comedy and they fail to be funny then they haven't acted well

Daniel Simonsen in house of fools. I like how bad he is though.
