[jiranma]

Hugh right at the end of the video looked really like Rufus Wainwright weirdly enough...

[rbzvncnt]

The wine reminds me of something produced in Blackadder 2... Château Baldrick 1589

[scottwlk88]

anyone think think 2.50 to about 3.30 is similar to alan partridge's meeting with tony hayers?

[PinkStelitsa]

I AM greek and I think fry's accent is briliant but hugh was really good too! I did not know there are greek restaurants in Britain....;-)

[MrNeskio]

Fry's pronunciation was remarkably good and easily understandable. I was quite surprised that he pulled that off. Well done!

[livstar93]

im from lincolnshire, didnt really like them slagging it off. it aint all abd! also, i completely adore greek food. <3 my family has spent over 20 years in cyprus, added up over the years

[chemical93girl]

hugh is sooo good xD

[maedrosGR]

i'll have the same, the παρακαλω defenitly! lol

[HKOverlord117]

A British kebab? Go for a Turkish one!

[vymmas]

Just brilliant.

[REVAN025]

I am greek and hearing Fry takling greek fluently was a delight !!!

[sapphires997]

ok seriously, how can one order "fileto souvlaki"?????????????? :P (unless i heard it wrong!)

HILARIOUS!!!! both of them!

[dreamcaughter14]

Oh!Um..the same!The parakalo xD

Χαχα πλάκα έχει xD

[ConnorFGuitar]

"An honest British kebab" :D love it

[PhoenixCrystalHatter]

This is funny, but if I actually met someone with a personality like Hugh's character, I'd HATE them, lol! Luckily, I can usually avoid people like that....

[VagDiBenis]

he is saying ntolmades, not ntomates stop confusing it!

ntomates=tomatoes

ntolmades=stuffed vine leaves

[hbanana7]

i want some Greek food~

[KetOoKa889]

Dolmades are jus copies of Turkish Dolma.  -_-

[volglizolic]

@KetOoKa889

turkies and greeks espesialy the ones that live near aegean have many commons......

Dolmades are common as well

both from greece and turky

anyway dolmades are delicious

[LuRawen]

2.58 --> I wonder if Hugh has these moments in real life. :D

[xmissemmax]

"but I think we gave that one back" haha!

[mrsladida]

oh and...definitely the 'parakalo'.

[mrsladida]

HAHAHAHAHA, I love how polite he sounds when stephen's speaking greek! He's actually quite fluent! xDD

[cabthegreat87]

what does gonoymeen mean?

[jashmish]

I'm going out for an honest british kebab LOVE IT! :D

[lennic95]

LOL British Kebab!

[NaxNax96]

Unbelievably funny. Especially if you're Greek =P

Fry's Greek is unusually good for a foreigner, but having watched all House episodes and witnessed Laurie speaking all sorts of languages, I can't help but wonder how this play would have turned out to be had Fry and Laurie swapped roles... hmmm.

[koratvinnie]

@NaxNax96

Fry would have picked up Greek (and Latin) during his days at public school. And by 'public school' I mean private school – which is what they're known as in England.

[Thanasaros21]

@koratvinnie Oh, I simply assumed that he had rehearsed a few lines for the sketch. I mean, foreigners learning modern Greek would be a bit unusual wouldn't it? And Ancient Greek has a very different structure, not to mention a pronunciation no two people can agree upon >.>

Whatever the case may be, Fry certainly gave me a pleasant surprise :D

[koratvinnie]

@Thanasaros21 In his recent autobiography – The Fry Chronicles – he mentions that he taught Greek, Latin, Biology and other subjects before going to university and then again during holidays when he was studying at Cambridge.

[NaxNax96]

@koratvinnie By the way, I'm sorry for replying as Thanasaros21, my friend last used Chrome and forgot to log out >.>

[Libbathegreat]

"I'll have the same, the, er, parakalw, definitely"

I wish the restaurants around here had waiters that just came directly up to you and spoke Greek. I've never had that luck. I'm always a bit nervous to try my Greek without being prompted :)

[MpafralisLowBap]

Ελληνας και ο Fry...

[iliannamatthews]

[fampie2008]

Gonoymeen - I'll use that and confuse my friends

[bumfluffer80]

oh listen to that "bazoukas" music Gordon! lolol

[MpafralisLowBap]

Bazoukas?! I think it's called bouzouki..... Well, I adore House (oops, Hugh Laurie..), it was just a tiny mistake...

[TheNishido]

@MpafralisLowBap I believe it was intentional... or did you not understand the sketch? :)

[xxlurkingkittyxx]

I love stephen fry speaking Greek, he speaks it so delicately. I live in Greece and so when I saw this I like :OOOO

[macolleague]

Aghh...Stephen looks particularly shiny, fluffy and lovely in this sketch...("ape-crazy on all fours....")

[shokoladniybegemot]

OMG Fry speaking Greek!!! :D

[nefelycherry]

lol.. i love retsina...

and i love hugh laurie!!

btw stuffed vine leaves are not called ntomata in greece..! ntomata is just a tomato!

[tanmaynd2001]

Yes, you are right. I suppose ntomata is just one of the many things not used to refer to stuffed vine leaves in Greece. But why did you choose to single out ntomata here?

[nefelycherry]

lol.. i just wanted to point out that this was a mistake...because stuffed vine leaves is not called like that in Greece..

but ok it doesnt really matter!!

the video is really funny eitherway ..!

[tanmaynd2001]

But they never called it ntomata here, they always said dolmades.

[odovel]

Ntolmades he said

But they have a brit accent kinda thick maybe for your ears ....maybe you thought they where americans ! lol

[Serperoth]

@tanmaynd2001 Ntomata=Tomato. Dolmas/Dolmades=Stuffed vine leaves. Hope that clarifies the situation:) *Greek actually*

[xxlurkingkittyxx]

Lol, and how is it called? Dolmades are stuffed vine leaves.

[nefelycherry]

i know...! but i kept hearing ntomates during the vid

[xxlurkingkittyxx]

Lol! Reasonable, they sound similar. :)

[Dashysul]

@nefelycherry He says ntolmades and not ntomates actually, which in fact means stuffed vine leaves :P

[xxlurkingkittyxx]

Ntomata means tomatoe - what does that have to do with dolmades? Lol

[jimbob1969]

@tanmaynd2001 you're beginning to sound like the guys in the video :)

[odovel]

if you wanted to make a clever remark you would have noticed that the waitor sais Oxtapodi and not Xtapodi

Oxtapodi is way to formal to use in a restaurant everyone says and writes xtapodi even in fancy restaurants...so I take it he's not greek or probably Cypriot as they are soooooo many of them in London

ever been in London nefely?? :D

[xxlurkingkittyxx]

Cypriots speak like that. :)

[Greeceindirestraits]

@nefelycherry

I think he says Dolmades which actually are stuffed vine leaves.

[rockostas]

@nefelycherry they are not saying ntomates. They are saying ntolmades(ντολμάδες) and that is indeed vine leaves.

[sameinjury]

'Stuffing vine leaves with a bunch of perverts'!
