Don't believe the hype - A Bit of Stephen Fry & Hugh Laurie - BBC comedy sketch

[smurfygoovy]

I can't help but imagine Hugh Laurie as Stewie Griffin when he was a child.

[MethodicalPancake]

I DO THIS AND I'M OK WITH IT

[Fauthal]

Hugh is Brilliant!



[joebainbridge]

i didn't realise my face was this big.... the grin is immence

[Grafight23]

Hugh Smash!!!

(the fourth wall)

[goremau]

And I hate people that narrate their own joke telling as well. ;)

[Shift4chizzle]

did anyone notice the lamp moving up near the end

[CrystalSoulslayer]

Every time I watch these clips, my mom comes in to make sure I'm not being murdered by a rabid hyena. Because that is what my laugh suddenly sounds like.

[Tilniel]

Gosh, people must hate me for this...))))))))

[kurmis94]

They don't make comedies like this anymore...

[ZetaVS]

Stephen Fry and John Cleese need to have a deadpan delivery contest. 

[schlurplekkk]

the lamp is amazing.

[koolmook]

25 people suffer from pure lunacy and need to be sectioned IMMEDIATELY! Hope could you find this anything other that hilariously brilliant?!

[chaire77]

omg! i died! :) love you guys!!!!

[Goerkjen]

One of the funniest sketches i've ever seen! I watched it a hundred times and still can't stop laughing!! I hate it when people interrupt like that to tell you why it's gonna be cool or rewind a dozen times to show you their favourite 2 secs again and again. Hugh is just hillarious!

[nicolina371]

Ooo dear!!! hahahahaha love it! :D

[razavipour]

This is the best comedy I have ever seen in my life. The idea to play with someone, and at the same time, explain it to others, is such a smart idea. I love this clip. Hugh Laurie is a brilliant comedian. He is obviously very highly intelligent. OH God,.., I love him..

[P1votG33k]

1:57 At least ONE object in the room found that funny.

[AbortedHitlerCock]

Having so sit through a tedious advert to watch a BBC clip....nice.

[ultrapersonthing]

the fourth wall will never be the same again; not after that.

[3isnotaletter]

this is amazing stoned

[DarkZeonix]

This is so hilarious lol

[cricketsong4045]

What's with the lamp suddenly going up for no apparent reason?

[woodnwheel]

@cricketsong4045 Hugh hit the table while laughing, and that jostled the lamp and caused it to go up because of the type of lamp it is (I think it's got a spring in it)

[TeatimeWithCaitlin]

It's like Hugh is stepping in for my mom.

[Fuldachiller]

i guess the real joke is that the lamp is going up for no reason at 1:58 :D

[MrCF6]

Oh dear.

[sockington1]

ADVERTS FUCK OFF

[tommos1]

they should have ended it with the traditional stephen punching hugh in the face gag.

[enterprise1954]

They did good stuff together but this was pish

[enterprise1954]

pish

[Hayleyfire929]

The fourth wall was made to be broken lol.

[andy86i]

ADVERTS ON BBC! GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK

[ashleyxms]

I think I'm in love with Hugh Laurie.

[IceCreamDoodle]

@ashleyxms It's very difficult not to be.

[KenworthW900HG]

Road-house!

[Ratoscruvy]

House!

[TheAverageFox]

Hugh's face is brilliant.

[Yukinlee]

"I beg your pardon" - 1:23.. I can hear it again and again all day long....... Oh... how i love his voice... ^^....and his cat-like-smile. as welll.. ..

[Fortevn]

I can't get rid of the thought that they went out of idea, so they made something "outside the box" to meet the deadline. Brilliant, just brilliant.

[sLaerchen]

THIS is the BEST sketch in world! I can't even concentrate on writing this comment because I have to scream with laughter:D

[TheLastOne13]

at 1:52 he had to supress his laughter. :) :)

[DCLynneHaddock]

I love the look on Stephen's face the whole way through.

[DeutschensindLoser]

IF YOU ACTUALLY WATCH THE AD WE WILL GET MORE:

TURN IT OFF &b they will stop assaulting us

[JohnBorgy]

@DeutschensindLoser if you guys wish people to actually stop viewing the ads. tell people how to in a nice non-spamy way. Besides I doubt that they will ever stop. and the ads that are there help support the content that you are watching.

[DeutschensindLoser]

NEVER WATCH AN AD:

JUST TURN IT OFF

[6116merl]

I think the "Wooster" character Hugh Laurie is playing is what made him famous.

That drivel he does on "House" is so far beneath him I wish he would just give it up.

[MyMrMinty]

im soo hungry right now but i choose the whole playlist so the fridge has to wait

[zacandsabby]

This is better than House. LOOL

love hugh either wayy ahaha

[luckyd0m]

Just been listening to Stephen Fry's wonderful Autobiography, he talks veryfondly of Hugh Laurie and sketches like this make you see why. They're both wonderful, just a shame to see Hugh on the other side of the pond :(

[YKHardy]

oh dear



[inphrased]

IT'S LIKE WATCHING A MOVIE WITH MY FATHER :D

[BayzaCristi]

this video give me an erecion but lisen lisen .O my sorry the next one

[darkhawk1979]

1:23 the look on Hugh's face

[marpolejoel]

This is fantastic...I am 307000. Brilliant. Oh dear.

[tppipersa]

OMG its EXACTLY like me when i am watching a movie that i am OBSESSED with! hahahahaha LMAO

[hectorandrespv]

BBC ?!!!

[UAEDisaster]

this cracked me up looooooooooooooooooooool

[cowbuchou]

lol, this takes breaking the fourth wall to a new level!

[Hornamy]

Brilliant.It's a must.Why don't tv producers make his own comedy show.?

[MissTwiggy28]

"Oh dear" isnt too funny, but the way Hugh laughs and finds it so funny is HILARIOUS!! :L

[csm120]

What is the first question the stephen did to laurie? I cound't understand.

[mitzaae]

Oh, dear !

[dexwiggle]

i can't believe hugh laurie is house. this accent is sooo different! just goes to show his talents!!

[MuahahahaFActory]

Fry has the best deadpan ever.

[luckyd0m]

@MuahahahaFActory Deadpan?

[PinkSplash64]

@MuahahahaFActory Just as well he's prolly sitting there like lol

[bjht92]

@MuahahahaFActory I believe Rowan Atkinson would beg to differ.

[Trehlas]

@bjht92 Yeah, but that's because Rowan Atkinson has no facial expressions to speak of... its almost scary but brilliant at the same time

[EddieTheFishReturns]

Ad says "this page is not available". Much better than the "Undead Nightmare" one that prevents you from enlarging the video two-fold. Bloody menace!

[gomongio]

Brilliant! Splendid! 

[MattUnseal]

HAHAHA

[LittlPussi]

Brecht, yeah. Nice. :)

[etherealegg]

Hugh Laurie's voice reminds me of my History teacher. :)

[Rotom5000]

This is the definition of breaking the fourth wall.

[fuck123tard]

@Rotom5000 That's exactly what I thought when he first started talking to the camera.

[Rotom5000]

@fuck123tard Haha!

[KingDing4]

0:35, some weird laugh

[DarkEyedJunko]

Timing.  Perfect.

[FEDfan88]

Oh, dear ))))))))))))))) LOL

[chickenruler]

I knew a guy like this.... may he rest in peace. >:)

[ApocalypticJedi]

@chickenruler who died?

[Drroxxette]

Fry and Laurie are so hilarious and sexy that even the lamp in the background gets it up! 

[KirkDysh]

THIS IS FANTASTIC!!!

"Oh, Dear!" ahah

[njfidler]

OMG It's Dr. Gordon Wyatt!! Who is this "House" fellow that everybody keeps talking about ? ;-) ;-)

[sabrinamatis]

@njfidler in america (i dont know if people watch it in England) there is a show called House and it is a HILARIOUS medical tv drama

[merton8181]

@sabrinamatis I can't tell if you are being serious or joking!

[njfidler]

@merton8181 I'm giving the benefit of the doubt here and guessing that @sabrinamatis was joking? I was just parodying the usual "OMG it's House" comments that are oh so popular on these videos. ;-p

[fuck123tard]

@njfidler You watch Bones but you don't watch House?

You need to watch House :)

[sabrinamatis]

@fuck123tard lol i watch both and both are ... AWSUM!!!!

[fuck123tard]

@sabrinamatis

Agreed!

[FGP02]

@njfidler It's Gordon Gordon Wyatt don't forget!I' That scene makes me laugh every time "What would you do if I told you my name actually is Gordon Gordon Wyatt?"

[boo41395]

@njfidler haha I was begining to wondered why nobody had said eanything about Fry bing Gordon Gordon Wyatt on any of theses videos :)

[PollockQT]

Great set up!

I found it utterly hilarious regardless the joke wasn't funny at all, which made it brilliantly funny indeed.

[franks1no]

that dude that looks like dr house is pretty funny

[missbeatrix1]

@franks1no

It IS Dr. House! Hugh Laurie (the "dude" you're talking about) does an American accent on that show.

[IntenseJMU]

@franks1no sarcastic?

[laraska17]

@franks1no  HE IS dr House...

[CaptainLongNick]

was this planned or did he really break out of sketch ? xDD

[danshved]

Wow, I don't remember laughing this hard for quite some time now )

[ToTzIK]

i started crying...too funny

[xeractus]

I've never seen anybody make a funny unfunny sketch before! It had to be Fry and Laurie XD

[dude157]

When ever i watch a film with my girlfriend, she is just like that all the way through !

[danccooke]

I love the fact that most people certainly Americans have no idea of the comedy genius that he is/was. Black Adder III he was in the whole series as Prince Regent. Real English humour.

[doctorfaizan]

ohhh dear!  hahahah

[xrictina56]

No listen listen!!!! ROFL

[TheRandomChap]

Hugh Laurie is the shit \m/

[petardd]

I miss monty python

[LifeIsForTheLiving]

I don't often laugh along every time you hear "the audience" laughing but this is an exeption!

[rockengellygirl]

I HATE THESE COMMERCIALS!

[GGODDD]

@rockengellygirl

it called adblock plus

[RustyIShacklefurd]

2:00 The line was so good it gave the lamp in the back an erection.

[liketylickchick]

@RustyIShacklefurd Actually that's the microphone xD

[mark01318]

@RustyIShacklefurd he hits the table and lamp goes up

[SayHey2TheEarth]

@RustyIShacklefurd oh dear



[wo496]

1:24 funniest scene in this vid !!

[VulcanDax]

youtube please switch the position of the like/dislike video buttons - apparently everyone who's trying to say they like something click on the dislike - just because it's closer - otherwise who in their right mind not like this sketch???

[putte1091]

hahahaah ohh god that got me laughing :D hugh laurie is just amazing

[SamLovesFriemds]

hugh is soooo adorable ^^)<333

i know everyone thinks (and i agree) he's gotten better with age, but i still think hes pretty hot in his younger years too :P

[ZeroTolerance4BS]

Lol that was great...but honestly if i was stephen i probably would have smacked hugh with something

[JofusSunshyne]

Very funny!!

[MonSwon]

Brilliant, what a performce by hugh, he plays the berk so well you forget its not really him, so different to house. I forgot how good he used to be, fry is alright too.

[Wofumpf]

Did anyone notice how the lamp moves after Laurie laughs for last time (in the sketch, obviously)

[MissGeek2000always]

Oh dear!

[Isleofskye]

Great sketch.

Only disappointment is that it didn't end with the genuine pubch that Stephen usually gave Hugh at the end of a sketch!:)

Memo: To Hugh Laurie.....You have had your flirtation with The USA now come home to London, MY SON!!

[Stuffinathor]

the lamp is moving

[CabeludoCppaPolonia]

1:08 Stephen smiling!

[rebeccawesome]

Favorite sketch.

[LeoDeGrand]

Although I had seen hugh in shows like Blackadder before I even knew abut House, Whenever I see him in these clips I like to imagine House saying these lines to his diagnosis team and them carrying him off in a white jacket XD

[UselessRambling]

Omg! It's like me and my brother watching a movie that I haven't seen and he has.

[lennic95]

Oh dear!

[AngelOmega777]

I laughed so hard I LOVE these two.

[karladark1]

1:24 look at him!!!!!  XD

[o0charade0o]

Still, all I see is Dr. House. Then I get confused. I've been watching too much House.

[InsertLettersHere]

Hehe same!

I still can't believe it's the same person xD He's just THAT good :D

[ALifeInObscurity]

Oh Dear!

xD

[revilo314]

Meta...

[atanasova]

notice how the lamp is moving :D just hilarious :D

[Marto9209]

hahahaha omg hillarious! xD

[blopcup]

whatever humour it is.. these two are sooo brilliant....

[danthebard]

this isn't strictly British humor, in fact Ive seen more american sketch groups make jokes like this

[PsychedelicSodaCan]

I didn't know there was a true line between 'british humour' and 'other humour'

[m0rfans]

@danthebard Yes, _after_ they'd watched this. :-)

[pocketsurfer07]

The US The Office is a remake of Ricky Gervias The Office that ran on BBC

[TheBlackOrchid]

rofl, yes i know, it was sarcasm because people were saying this is american humor.

[pocketsurfer07]

Ah i see,, guess im the batty one then for thinking someone would not know that :)

[isumu]

@TheBlackOrchid

Uh... dude... america got the office from Great Britian... just like with a couple other shows... they're parodying their own show.

[TheBlackOrchid]

read both my comments retard then look up sarcasm in a dictionary.

[isumu]

Well sorry, man... I didn't see the sarcasm thing before I responded... and before that, it's hard to hear sarcasm through text.

[TheBlackOrchid]

saying the office is an american show should be a give away, but i keep forgetting people on the internet are idiots.

[Edenabcd]

The Office was a brilliant British TV show starring Ricky Gervais among others.

America makes TV much more glamerous that reality; British sitcoms are much more relatable with different humour.

The Office from the States was a poor parody from the British version; the parody of Red Dwarf was also very, very, poor.

[TheBlackOrchid]

US office is not a parody of UK office, they have identical scripts for the first season. i own both on dvd and enjoy both. it was just a remake with the permission of bbc

[EnigmaDrath]

2:00 -> .... That lamp moving in the background sorta freaked me out.

[ADyingFaith]

I was expecting Stephen to punch Hugh at the end.

[mark01318]

@ADyingFaith me 2 i was waiting for it and it didnt happen

[Kilrathi333]

.... Oh' dear... :)

[Karibiklady]

Loved it! =D

[lcorinth]

The best bit is when Dr. House tells Stephen Fry that he's got lupus. Because you know that he's wrong!!!

[acegfdb]

His name actually is Hugh Laurie.

[lcorinth]

Oh, no shit? Yeah, I got that. You maybe noticed he also doesn't say anything about lupus.

[bbBumble28]

ahh the lamp moved!!!!

[frschone]

notice the lamp on the background moves on 1.59 haha :P

[Ap0cralypse]

Perfect parody of every time someone shows you a "funny" video on youtube =P.

[WhatIf2009]

@Ap0cralypse But... This is a funny video too...

[ELuhn]

@Ap0cralypse I love Stephen's expression @ 1:22. LOL and XD.

[IcEye89]

@Ap0cralypse The fact that you are right, makes it very hard to send this video to someone.

[animeforever1]

No doubt it: British humour is the best.

[WonciQ]

It was fantastic!! So fanny!!

[bluesaway1]

I haven't laughed that hard in.....I don't know how long. Absolutely brilliant!!!

[salinmt]

That was SOOO FUNNY!!!
