I used to watch a lot of Danger Mouse back when it aired on Nickelodeon. To this day when I do a fake British accent, unless I'm imitating someone in particular I sound a bit like Sir David Jason.

Yeah, I do tend to repeat "Penfold, hush" and "crumbs chief" to myself.

Funny, that.

I ended up with Ted Kelsey, personally.

My favorite Greenback line is from "The Four Tasks of Danger Mouse". He was holding Penfold hostage in exchange for DM retrieving the components of an ancient alchemical formula to create a monster with which he could conquer the world: "I have always wanted to try the recipe, but the ingreeeeedients are so hard to come by."

The writing on that show was top tier and holds up well today.
