George relies heavily on Blackadder in the third ( Mr. E. Blackadder ) series , even while Blackadder despises George for his immense wealth and complete inability to rectify problems in his life . While George is considered " moronic " and " idiotic " , he is helpful , loyal , and is aware he is not very intelligent , describing himself as " thick as a whale omelette " . In a 2008 retrospective , co @-@ star Stephen Fry said George 's keenness for self @-@ improvement was one of the things he felt made the character likeable . In " Duel and Duality , " the final episode of the third series , after a sexual encounter with the Duke of Wellington 's nieces , this princely incarnation of George is struck by a point @-@ blank shot from the vengeful Wellington 's pistol and killed . George briefly awakes , believing that he may have a cigarillo case on him that deflected the blow , but when he realises that he must have left the case at home , promptly falls dead again in Baldrick 's arms .
