Have you ever watched the Blackadder the Third episode Dish and Dishonesty? There is a very similar line in there....

Dish and Dishonesty wrote:
Blackadder: Your highness, Sir Talbot Buxomly, MP.

Prince George: Ah, Buxomly- roaringly splendid to have you here- how are yu sir?

Talbot: Heartily well, your Highness. I dined hugely off a servant before coming to town.

Prince George: (nervous, a little freaked) Um, you eat your servants?

Talbot: No, sir. I eat off them. Why should I spend good money on tables when I have men standing idel?

Blackadder the Third was written in 1987.

I've seen all of the Blackadder episodes. It's a pretty good show I think.

Lord Flasheart twiked the Adder's beard
For now he always shall be single
To fall in love with boys is sad
Especially boy's without a winkle

Sorry, Sorry, I love that episode, Blackadder 2 is my favourite.
