A Bit of Fry and Laurie - Jewellry

[maxinebendix]

"Kind enough never to be Peter Sissons"



[mackeymkay]

Would it be of the most terrible and abhorrent incorrectness of me (that is to say the being being in the possession of mine own earnest self) to venture the making of a statement pertaining to the chance encounter between a very fine Stephen Merchant and a Stephen Fry of quite equally splendid a delicacy, whereupon the former made process to utter a quotation of yon sketch, of the morning of goodness, met only by Mr. Fry's "Fuck off you nerd." Or is that a mere anecdote, a dote of anectedness?

[kev9089798767]

It's amazing what these men can do with the phrase "Good morning".

[SuperBobster10]

@makerofjam We do, they have a different name, but we still have them.

[makerofjam]

@SuperBobster10 its not the same :(

[SuperBobster10]

@makerofjam Soft chewy fruity sweet that comes in wrapper. Same flavours. Sounds the same to me!

[Jonstern1983]

They (Fry and Laurie) were at their best when they were working together. There are just some actors who bring out the best in each-other.

[mariveregati]

Stephen Fry can reel off the most complicated, but grammatically perfect, lines that not the best of writers in the world can come up with even after several years of contemplation. How he does that will continue to puzzle those writers for several more years.

[whitbywailer]

Possibly the funniest sketch I have seen in my 44 earth years.

[xArrowxProductionsx]

SO MANY WEIRD, YET IN FULL POSSESSION OF THAT WHICH WE CALL "AWESOMENESS," ADVERBS AND ADJECTIVES!!!

[lucke001]

2:02 JEEEEEEVEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS

[MissTwiggy28]

@MrTonyInchpractice OMG thats what I thought- a remainder of Jeeves definately, or a character somewhat inspired by him

[DelusionalDreamers]

I want to start using the phrase "In absolute sureness of this regard" xD

[matchbox555]

my god this is so crap

[lonesomeflower]

@matchbox555 why are you watching all these abofal videos just to make pointless negative comments?

[Threeblacks]

"Your earth pounds" Hahaha.

[janemylow]

Oh god that's annoying

[MrTonyInchpractice]

i reckon that stephen's character from this sketch; from the shoe-shop sketch; from the barber sketch; from the model airplane sketch... is all that remains of Jeeves... after a mental breakdown... Jeeves' mind has been shattered by some ludicrous event involving Madeline, Bertie and the theft of an eighteenth century cow creamer (which is a euphemism in this case)... Bertie had to let Jeeves go... and a fragmented, fractured-witted Jeeves has to find alternative employment...

[janemylow]

@MrTonyInchpractice nice

[WickedMuse]

opal fruits! So much awesome it is cockingly brilliant of them to share with us mere mortals their eloquence and mastery of the lol.

[floppetylove]

Jeeves evil twin brother? Well, thats my theory anyways :)

[MrsLazarou]

218 poundingtons :)

[troubadorra]

WHUT.

This is similar to the haircut sketch C:

[macolleague]

Only Stephen could execute such beautifully enunciated, and impeccably articulated drivel. Wonderful.

[drgnfrddd]

Right, I'm leaving now.

[STUDY577]

leaving but we are engaged!)))) men are such bastards)) hilarious)

[mr0buch]

The never-popular 'Catchphrase'

lol!

[darksnow07]

Hahaha I can't help but wish I spoke as eloquently hilarious as Stephen! XD

[DontTouchMyTea]

Stephen's character to me seems like Jeeves's insane twin brother.

[iliannamatthews]

he is really good at this kind of character...

[lucke001]

Hahaha i thought the same thing at 2:01 when he's wearing jeeves bolar hat !

[artvandelay13]

If sirs and mesdames would be so kind as to be, in the fullest and most magnificently pungent sense of the word, in possession of allowment of myself to state, as it were, my, as it were, feelings pertaining to and relevant towards this and no other sketch, it would please me gloriously to deliver unto sirs' and mesdames' awarenesses the most undoubted, the least doubted, hilarity and awesomeness of said sketch. Good, if you will, day.

[I4gotmyMANTRA]

@artvandelay13 Thanks very much?

:D

[sunside87]

@artvandelay13 If I may have your kind permission to state that there is no doubt of the brilliance of the statement pertaining to the one that you have made! I feel I must, if may allow it, congratulate you on your eloquence! :)

Translation: That was great! :)

[BillyBobsEel]

that ending killed me...not literaly

[macolleague]

"One of a goodness it most assuredly is!" Oh Mr. Fry...!!

[anetchi]

hahahah!! this delights me to the core : ) I love english comedy soooo so much. This should be on tv in america! expose us to some actual talent!

[Irishlad224]

@anetchi if you own an account on Netflix (if, in the span of the said 2 years since this comment and have not yet seen all of this show), it is currently on instant play

[Bypassone]

I really wouldn't mind knowing if this is all recorded in one take.....

[rockchick80s]

Abslutely P*** myself at this - "Is Sir in absolute possession of Sureness in this Regard ? Bloody Hillarious.

[BML8384]

My Favourite, Hands-Down, Fry & Laurie sketch! A True British Comedy Classic!

[billybobjoeericidle]

how can stephen talk that fast without choking? I know I couldn't.

[lawro04]

'right i'm leaving' 'but darling we're engaged!' 'men are such bastards!' lol!!!!

[kalibos]

upstairs in the cellar XD

[themysteryperson]

Dang, i accidentally rated it badly. Great vid, these are frikkin hillarious.

[wickedfeylady]

Stephen is hilarious in this sketch and Hugh is extremely handsome.

LOL what flavor engagment ring

[adi87tya]

haha...such great use of words..."here is a morning, mother of my bosom, I averred, as fine and crisp and gutty, as any since the days that Compton and Edrich opened for England, and the sun never went down on the British without asking permission first..."

stephen fry is a legend!!

[Numboss]

I love these shop sketches - jewelers, barber, model, shoe etc - Fry's absurdity knows no bounds. I don't know how he rapidly puts all those words together with such perfect diction. Hilarious stuff.

[rhcp1lovethemgreat]

It costs 40.000 of your earth pounds!

[SilentOrchestra91]

lol tutu your exactly right xD

[tutudragon15]

lol. its weird to hear a british person saying "freaking". i always assume amercians only speka that

[rocksoliddude1]

he says frigging not freaking. frigging is a pretend uk swear word it's spoken instead of " fucking "

[nicemutant]

....quietly... with a chamois leather!!

[zerosis]

"I'm getting engaged next week--"

"Would you like an opal fruit?"

Fantastic non sequitur xD

[CPGallagher89]

What a blast from the past as well Opal fruits!

[KILLERSTROP]

This is a sketch that before Youtube I hadn't seen since it was on telly back in the eighties.

I still remember a lot of the lines, its my all time favourite comedy sketch.

Dont compare it to Monty Python AAAARGH. They deserve full credit for their own brand of insane dialogue.

[daryl1q1]

stephen is polishing the back of his hand at the start...

[Moomintroll123]

This is so funny, I very nearly spat out my coffee.

"Leaving? But we're engaged!"

Absolutely fantastic

[DrToze]

The issue of the quite niceness of this ring has been raised in prime ministers question time. Awesome!!

[Vuurvogel2]

... "He's upstairs in the cellar."

... "The Youngest of my mothers."

Great stuff!

[girl43]

Wow .. the end was .. unexpected :D

"Men are bastards"

[miss2tone]

Is Sir In absolute sureness in this regard.

BRILLIANT

[KILLERSTROP]

Don't you mean,

Is Sir in absolute possession of sureness in this regard?

Or are you more mistaken than a man who believes that Hilaire Beloc is still alive?

[miss2tone]

Utter genius, I have every one of their series on tape. They just make me so utterly happy when I watch them. Both of them are SO clever. Thanks for outting these on You Tube

[daryl1q1]

'The thing is, I'm getting engaged next week...'

'Would you like an Opal Fruit?'

One of the greatest non sequiturs in the history of comedy

[WearingSunglasses]

I couldn't help but LOL-ness at the hilariosity of the sketchington of the program. If you get what I'm on about...ness ;)

[Drego642]

I must agree in regard to the hilariousity of said sketch and, all it's dictive and linguistic eccentricities aside, must also put forth a comment pointing out it's similarity to another sketch, of the comedic nature, given to us by the great Monty Python.

[WearingSunglasses]

I didn't catch any on that, due to the fact that my brain is not working, other than the fact that Monty Python (damn, I love that show) has a similar sketch which is also funny... right?

[Drego642]

Precisely :)

It ends up with Chapman, Cleese, Idle, Jones and Palin marrying each other.

[WearingSunglasses]

O_o

Wow, I must see that...

[PheatherP]

Yes, I noticed that too. It was set in a registry office. "I want you to marry me,"

[planktonmullet]

One of me favourite F&L scenes ever!

[phemyda94]

upstairs in the cellar :-)

[cottonwhiskersuk]

I wonder, was Stephen in most earnest necessity of a cue-card whilst delivering those orations of magnitudinous proportions?

[adi87tya]

I would not be as wrong as a hedgehog attired with underwear if I assumed that Stephen was assuredly in delicate possession of a cue card whilst delivering these orations of magnitudinous proportions...

[zerosis]

"And if two broad shouldered, long fingered yong men such as ourselves can come independently to the conclusion that the morning that they are currently experiencing is one of a goodness, then one of a goodness it most assuredly is"

[ADyingFaith]

I love these shopkeeper sketches, i cant decide which is better out of Mr Dalliard or the haircut sketch.

[Slapbass13]

What flavour sir?

[ejeevika]

they'll humor a dying man)))))

[Tclack]

Does anyone see the resemblance between Fry's face and Drew Barrymore's?

[TaintedxxxLust]

*raises hand*

If you look at those small clips between the sketches, you'll see that where Stephen poses as a woman the resemblance is even more uncanny.

[adi87tya]

yeah I wonder if there's some connection there...because both of them have Hungarian ancestry in them apparently

[sdibello88]

omg you're right! wow

[sisterofzeuswolf]

yay! jeeves' hat!

[CuriousChia]

See this is where Jeeves ended up when he just snapped one day after one too many of Bertie's hairbrained schemes.

[Mandalorian31]

Fry's character reminds me of a human version of HK-47 gone bonkers.

[JohnnySaints]

One of the best sketches of all time. I'm off to get some opal fruits to celebrate. Baaah!

[Jpc118]

Oh my God "Opal Fruits" ! Now they're called "Starburst"... Bah Humbug.

[maxslain]

I agree wholeheartedly.

[KAT65]

Men are such bastards.  :)

[AllyWheels]

a thick earlet indeed. lol

[pbraddazz]

One of my favourite Fry and Laurie sketches of all time. Awesome usage of the English language.

[romanshoes]

Ah, the Insane Shopkeeper. My favorite Fry character.

[vymmas]

Sublime! One of my favourite sketches ever.

[oywiththenames]

nice 'stache LOL
