>I'll probably get slammed for this, but I never found Benny Hill all that funny. When I was a teenager I thought he was mildly amusing, but beyond that, just too crass at a low level. By contrast, Black Adder is more sophisticated at being crass :)

I didn't find him very funny, either. Maybe I just wasn't British enough.
