I'd love to see those two in an interview together, I reckon they'd come up with some real comical shit. Funny and intelligent men, those two - love 'em.
@dddttt555 Churchill may well have said it at some point, but it's taken from Wilde's play "Lady Windemere's Fan" (which was written long before Churchill was saying anything of note). Ironically, though, it's supposed to be a satire of what really pretentious people say, not a motto for life, but it's always quoted as something inspirational.
It's a fucking tragedy that Stephen Fry does so little comedy acting these days. QI is brilliant, but the Fry from A bit of Fry and Laurie and Jeeves and Wooster is greatly missed.
I love this part when everyone is making fun of Andy, Stephen fry comes along, offers him comfort and advice. Then Andy threatens to punch him! Ungrateful twat.
@jeezuschryst Yes, because it's a huge stretch of logic to assume that since Stephen Fry plays himself that Ricky Gervais must also. And since I'm obviously ignorant concerning most British colloquialisms, it seemed like a probable source of my confusion. I wouldn't expect you to know every single bit of American slang... Jeez, and they say Americans are arrogant.
@clearlogicify comedic talent? possibly... but intellect? Ricky is not stupid believe me, he may not a Degree in English like Stephen but when it comes to General Knowledge I'd say they were equal, If you've ever listened to Ricky's podcasts and radio shows from yesteryear you would see this, he really is much MUCH smarter than he sounds.
@Dungarth I was a massive fan of the old xfm shows and remember Ricky saying some very silly things when trying to trip Karl up (not the basic errors in grammar, but errors in logic). It wasn't that often, but did happen. A few times Steve would point them out. I also remember how obvious it was that Ricky had clearly been brushing up on certain subjects to be talked about on the show.
I think Ricky is very smart, but there is a pretty big intellect gap between them. Love them both though.
@Dungarth Oh and I have taken Ricky's working class background vs Stephen's classic education into consideration. Some of the old clips from a bit of fry and laurie, show and incredible dept to Steven's mental processes/powers (completely separate to his charm, delivery and how amazing articulate he is). He simply operates on a different level.
I feel sorry for Ricky as much of his persona is taken seriously, and people think he is a nasty person. Extras is a brilliant show, and deserved every award it recieved.
God for someone so benevolent wonderful and magnificent as Stephen Fry he can't half make your skin crawl when he feels like it...thank god he only does it when acting and playing parts that require it. I guess it's testament to just how good an actor he is then. =D
@cofcfemmes Thanks! My whole goal of putting this video up was to get people interested in the show, so I think it's great that you didn't know what it was at first.
Stephen Fry is the only case where a heterosexual man can call another man Adorable. Because dammit he's so adorable I just want to hug the shit out of him.
@liam4391 I don't think many people are under any illusions about Stephen's sexuality, but that was not what Mr Sword was referring to, he was referring to his own sexuality. Despite being heterosexual himself he could still say Stephen Fry was adorable.
I think it is perfectly reasonable to say that somebody (man, woman or child) is adorable, it is not reasonable to conclude that means you must want to fuck them.
I love that thing Stephen does when he says something slightly mean and then grins. It's adorable how his voice changes. Does anyone know what I mean? I'm not a creep, I swear. (or do I?)
A bona fide national treasure...and one who's not far off it. I had thought of writing 'A bona fide national treasure...and Stephen Fry' but a lot of people online don't understand what are commonly referred to as 'jokes'.
@BOomeek Just want to say, you were very kind in your reply. At the time, I didn't know the show was called "Extras", I thought SF was just one of the "extras" in the show.
I have to admit that I laughed, do I need to search for the sad/forlorn smiley?
:D (goodness knows if that brings one up!)
:D (evidently not.)
Smile.
