I convinced myself that he was then going to say to the audience both in the studio and at home, that if they match the offer, he WON'T masturbate in front of them.
@BelfastAtheist I got it ;) Judging by the delayed smattering of laughter, a few of them got it in retrospect. But I reckon he did look a tad disappointed that his best joke fell on deaf ears!
@k6l11h58 : ik hou erg van Fry en Laurie en ook van M&T en je hebt wat die vergelijking betreft helemaal gelijk: eigenlijk heel vreemd dat ik daar zelf nooit aan heb gedacht.
@queenastilon : een Nederlands (muzikaal) cabaretduo. Zij hebben hier in Nl een eigen programma: een parodie op tv-spelletjes in het algemeen waarin zij spelletjes doen met en muzikale odes brengen aan de Bekende Nederlanders die te gast zijn. Beide heren hebben ook in het Kopspijkerscabaret gezeten en zijn zowel als duo als solo actief. Er zijn aardig wat filmpjes op YT terug te vinden (Mike en Thomas show, Ajuinen en Look, Mike en Thomas Kerstrevue).
I think Bob Holness was a presenter for "Blockbuster" and a number of other programmes in the 90s, for BBC obviously. I think he's been an actor too. Somehow, I feel like I've heard them mention him somewhere else before...
If you've seen their sketch called Dominic Appleguard the Narrated he's in that. (if you haven't seen that one look it up it's very silly and very funny) :)
Totally agree with others that live in hope of a new 'A Bit Of Fry & Laurie'. Watching this clip made me nostalgic for their special brand of humour & also nostalgic for the time when 'Comic Relief' was a humorous occasion. I miss you, Fry & Laurie xx :o)
I'd say this was from 1990 as the theme for the 2nd series of ABOF&L is being played in the background.
There was a sketch from the 3rd series where Hugh used the word 'masturbate.' My brother told me never to use it and also never to ask my dad what it meant (lol)!
Boy, Stephen is a real Bob Holness fan, isn't he? In the sexual sense LMAO!
Does anyone know if the the introduction Fry and laurie held for a tribute concert for Mandela somewhere in the late '80's is still aviable? They introduced a performance by Tracy Chapman.
I saw it once but cannot find it now on various search terms. Maybe somebodody knows if I can still find it on Youtube??
Word of advice. NEVER drink while watching this. My computer screen, my iPod speakers, my desk, even my arkwork are all covered in Innocent Smoothie. 'Twas funny though xD
"If you thing I should not comply with this offer, could you please signify your decision by wearing an article of clothing..."
The bit that made me burst out laughing was Stephen's conjecture that, in honoring such a request, he might very well do half a million pounds' worth of damage! ROTFLMFAO!!!
Stephen Fry seems to have a fascination for this Bob Holness. In ABOFAL there is a sketch called 'This is Dominic Applegard'. Fry plays Dominic, who also has an obsession for Bob Holness.
Poor mr Holness: he has to live of the image of Stephen Fry, 'trashing wildly around the studio'(brilliant expression), while holding a framed photograph of him. Very funny.
I was quite expecting the guy who yelled "yes please"..to instantly strip naked ;)
