Fry and Laurie - At the Theatre with Peter Mostyn

[kotsia5742]

i wonder if this pushed Hugh to work as DR HOUSE.

[QueenOfTheAubergines]

It reminds me of a dream I had where I was being taken apart on an operating table in my middle school library xD

But anyway, I love these two, they're brilliant

[hlapidu2]

1:05 Hugh and Stephen give me the impression that it really was unexpected. I wonder...

[CaptMARNEY]

I've never felt sick while laughing my ass off at the same time before! What a new experience!

[chocchipfox]

wow they would never show that sketch on tv nowadays

[Spazzbert]

Are the bits he's pulling out from a cow?

[blaster2012]

@Spazzbert i think the're from a sheep.

[kehyzisa]

Only these two can make something that's normally rather macabre and turn it into something humorous, and, oddly enough, a tad cute (if you cock your head to the side a bit) :D

"kidneys are nature`s own dialisis machines"

just fantastic!!!

[TheAverageFox]

That bloody spatter on Hugh's lip is driving me crazy.

[TheBubu983]

Its driving me crazy too

[unijade]

Am I the only one who was wincing throughout the whole sketch? I almost felt knots at the pit of my stomach!!

[JuuhachigouSama]

omg, that bit of "blood" on Hugh's lip was driving me crazy!

[t3n0r2009]

i find it pretty funny how Hugh Laurie did a lot of medical schetches before he became House... it's like he was waiting for this his entire life...

[svenpornstar]

no its not, lol, he js did them coz they wer funny

[orphedeliaXimmortal]

true because his dad was a doctor too! that makes sense lol!

[unijade]

His dad wasn't a doctor. He was an athlete, wasn't he? An Olympics medalist? Guess perfection ran in the family ;)

[mindegymianev]

Well, yes, his dad won a gold medal in rowing, as a matter of fact, but studied medicine and was indeed a doctor.

[unijade]

Then I guess over-achievement runs in the family! Admirable...intimidating! =|

[Pyro25892]

@unijade I think he was both

[MendelsonShape]

That's interesting. He called himself Peter Mostyn. Hugh played a character called Mostyn for the Alliance and Leicester ads.

Nerdy of me to remember that.

[shirleywilson]

Very nerdy, but kinda cool, if that isn't an oxymoron.

[MendelsonShape]

"Military intelligence" - THAT is an oxymoron.

[smkemper]

Thank you to share those 1986 videos. I bought the Bit of Fry & Laurie DVD box set after I saw the sketches here (didn't know about Hugh career before) and it's a pleasure to see sketches they did before.

[HotlipsPierce]

I could see House and Wilson doing this to a group of medical students...but they'll never do it as well as Hugh and Stephen.

[darrylglass5102]

Holy shite...Hugh must look back on this and laugh.

[orworseexpelled]

It seems to me that Jeeves is operating on Wooster...especially the way he says, "Sir..." but it is really funny. :P

[BelatedCommiseration]

Ha...House goes under the knife...but Hugh will always be Bertie Wooster to me, despite the fact that he always has been a very good actor, and I hope he actually gets more roles than just mad maverick doctors as his career goes on.

[pandajenbway]

"It must be important to have a sense of humor in your line of work..." Oh, young Hugh. If only you knew how funny that line would be....
