    I got the black adder spoonerism but not the rest of the joke. Is it worth asking? I haven’t seen the show.

      I don’t think it’s a specific reference, but Black Adder follows a series of fictional incompetent royal family members throughout history all played by Rowan Atkinson. Some of my new favorite work from him.
