The day I forgot my legs - A bit of Fry and Laurie

[craigybus1]

I cannot believe he mentioned Saxmundham!

[hoorahforsnakes]

one fresh june morning in early may.. love it!

[VladBlok28]

oh i remember that day

[AverageJ0emusic]

I've got a feeling this is all about tripping on acid, watch it again with this in mind..

[TheWelderJDF]

I love how he makes fun of his own pronunciation of things



[EndlessDreams73]

I love this show, it's so random;)

[soundslave]

Nice product placement there :D

[SpiritWanderer91]

yes well... you can't... if you dont have your legs :p

[blinkdeath48]

"I forgot my legs" I know what you mean

[Ninzip]

I like the fact that numerous youtube-users judge Stephen Fry a genius for eating cornflakes with a knife and fork.

[zoyataylor]

@Ninzip lol

i watched this vid many times, but never noticed that he uses fork and knife :D lol

[HulloKat]

Corn flakes simply aren't the same unless eaten with a knife and fork, I should say.

[SpiritOfWolf91]

So it's really true, that you British are holding the fork wrong way around? Lol...

[weirdcitykid]

@SpiritOfWolf91

That's the posh way:)

[LOLjkSTFUffs]

@SpiritOfWolf91 And in accordance to this method of classification, it would also be apparent that you Germans like to make sweeping statements on a nation based upon the actions of one man in a comedy sketch.

[SpiritOfWolf91]

@LOLjkSTFUffs I wouldn't have posted this comment, if I had seen this kind of eating for the first time. We once had a british author at school who presented his book and the most striking differences between British and German. He also talked about british people in restaurants who try to eat peas with the fork hold upside down. It was quite fun watching his effords though I didn't really believe him. It seemed too complicated. I'm ready to be taught otherwise :-)

[LOLjkSTFUffs]

@SpiritOfWolf91 Bottom line is; posh twats hold their fork that way up, and the rest of us hold it the other way.

[SpiritOfWolf91]

@LOLjkSTFUffs Thanks, and again I've learned something! Would have been quite difficult to imagine all of you eating everything that way. The "normal" way is much more practical. Is it also untrue that turning the fork while eating is "forbidden"? I'm pretty curious about different moralities in foreign countries you see...

[LOLjkSTFUffs]

@SpiritOfWolf91 Well the word "forbidden" means not permitted. And I don't think anyone's ever done any jail-time for turning their fork, but it could well have been socially frowned upon in years gone by. Nowadays, nobody really cares about that kind of stuff except maybe the queen :O

[SpiritOfWolf91]

@LOLjkSTFUffs That's why I put "forbidden" in quotes. I meant "socially not accepted", which in Germany can be eating from your neighbour's plate. In really posh restaurants you can be thrown out for doing so. Without being arrested ;-) No more questions :-P

[TravelerKM]

One of the cleverest sketches of the whole series.

[Vortex289]

Haha, I was actually eating cornflakes with a fork. I didn't realize it until the next day.

[deconomou1]

yes, i do notice that if i close my eyes a bit i can't see so well.

[lilithrozz]

one fresh jun morning in early may

[TeaAndABiscuit]

"I stooped, I recall, to pick a buttercup. Why people leave buttocks lying around I've no idea." Simply genius XD

[Skeew1]

simply genius. every sentence is pure gold

[gaaraman312]

"And three years later, almost to the decade" i couldn't stop laughing!!! LOL

[ZolotayaKoshka]

Ahhh

[simpsonsguy22]

there were quite a lot of tuesdays back then. lol

[joshaf26]

The "buttercup" joke is one of my favorite bits of wordplay.

[MuffinGoneBad]

That leaves the question - can you eat cornflakes with a knife and a fork?

I tried this, and I say: Well... you can... with a lot of practise and parents who don't mind a messed up kitchen.

[bittersweetlaurelin]

this is wonderful - I do so love stephen fry - he's a genius, he is!

[callumbolt]

This is just excellent.

[suicidedelinquent]

i just love the fact that hes eating cornflakes with a knife and fork. he is a genius

[Numendil]

@suicidedelinquent oh my, I didn't even notice that. And I've seen this sketch a lot...

[luchilenium]

@suicidedelinquent That's my favourite bit, too.

[Aitamen]

@suicidedelinquent off the back of the fork, no less~
