The greatest thing that's ever been on television is Rik Mayall reading George's Marvellous Medicine on Jackanory.

MTV was a big deal when I first arrived in the US, and we’d gather to watch in the graduate dorm lounge. I remember the premiere of U2’s New Years Day video well.
But this with Rik Mayall has got to be one of my favorite videos. 👇🏼

When Flashheart (or his descendant) appears for a more substantial amount of time in an episode of Blackadder Goes Forth - listen to the British studio audience going uncharacteristically fucking crackers! Applauding, whooping, cheering! Rik Mayall works some insane magic in this role.

Okay, this isn't a film, but the first thing I thought of was: Rik Mayall as Lord Flashheart in Blackadder 2. He's in it for 102 seconds (yes, I counted), immediately becomes the main character, brings his own comedy rules and once he's gone the episode ends. Because what else could it do?
Fav film performance with under ten minutes on camera?
