General Sir Anthony Cecil Hogmanay Melchett, VC, KCB, DSO (born 1870) is a loud-mouthed, childish, unintelligent, incompetent British Army General serving in the First World War. He commands Captain Blackadder's (Rowan Atkinson) unit in the TV series "Blackadder Goes Forth." His aide is Captain Darling (Tim McInnerny). Melchett was played by Stephen Fry.

And a video clip of Melchett on pooh-pooh:

(in fact the whole series is free to watch right on YT DailyMotion, last I checked)
