A Bit of Fry and Laurie - Tony of Plymouth.

[plugindave]

lol wtf is dr house doing

[Unadmiserable]

How evil is Fry. He makes a great Reaver on Fable.

[kyuubei]

I died of joy when Stephen yelled 'Guards! Seize him!'

[TheSoulMan8]

yes so that your own bathroom may be lined with venison and other fine delicacies

[Fedeleven]

I didn't see that coming 1:39 xDD

[joshaf26]

If only more town hall meetings here in the states were handled like this, CSPAN would actually be worth watching.

[SirMildred76]

@joshaf26 What's happening in Quartzite, AZ right now is pretty close to it.

[I4gotmyMANTRA]

I have to say that its pretty genius that they could come up with a name thats funny on its own. Hahahaha.

[I4gotmyMANTRA]

Amazing.

[LinusandSally]

Stephen's face at 0:50. LOL!

[abclozzaz123]

"you bleed the people so that you may stuff your own fat pockets!" LOL

[TheLastBaroness]

This was fantastic.

[viridismonasteriense]

So many Robin Hood references here. The lackadaisical way he fights, duelling from his seat, swinging from a rope, and then walking across the chair at the end. Every little detail planned. Pure brilliance. I would've loved to have been sitting next to Hugh Laurie in the audience there. Hilarious.

[drgnfrddd]

That's fantastic!!

I am one of the people!!!

Classic challenge and duel in a studio! Ha!

[ChokingHorror]

I am one of the people!

[guyfwoodward]

@ChokingHorror I believe it was "Aye, and what of the people", but it's funny either way :)

[starwarsfreak1111]

I wouldn't suck it! hahahaha

[lucke001]

What is your name sir that you must shrout yourself under a light weight travelling hat!

[janemylow]

Those guys... They sure seem to have a liking for tights lol

[levantos]

This is my favourite sketch from the show :D

[catonutt]

I like Stephen's sword better... whoa, that sounded a little dirty didn't it?

[lucke001]

check those legs o.o

[IrkThePurists]

I've double-checked with the OED: this sketch is the definition of joy. :-)

[welshdevondragon]

I WISH I'd been in the studio when this was filmed! The TIGHTS!

[person4fun]

I had a dream like this once...XD

[JuuhachigouSama]

That was hot.

[Janefox1978]

I can't decide who has a better bum in the tights...yet, i find, it doesn't really matter. lol

[GreetingsFromFinland]

Bold words indeed.

[Zorg2006]

My name, sir - and I bid you mark it well - is Tony of Plymouth.

[GreetingsFromFinland]

Tony of Plymouth!

[elkieleenen]

O'Reilly should take an example of Stephen Fry. Imagine: instead of "SHUT UP!!" he'd go "...be quiet :)"

[calimaeochango]

and what is your name sir, that you must shroud yourself under a lightweight travelling hat?

[drlisacuddy]

Man, the music at the end is so much better than what they put on the DVD...what a shame...

[Laurie76K]

LOVE those yellow tights!!!

[phemyda94]

and the sleeves!

[Laurie76K]

Yes, I know! It's a true fashion statement!!!LOL

[HotlipsPierce]

This must have so cathartic for them.

[Halfdannn]

stephen should wear the shirt when he is fighting, all the time. He just rocks in it.

[Youngandwilde]

hell yeah! XVIII's century garments suits both Stephen and Hugh!XD

[Halfdannn]

totally agree, it should be a law!

[Youngandwilde]

imagine the legions of fans swooning and fainting! lulz ahoy!

[lordoftherings666]

And what is your name sir, that you should shroud yourself under a lightweight travelling hat. Classic

[KdogPrime]

@lordoftherings666 My name, sir, and I bid you mark it well, is Tony of Plymouth! AHahahahahahaha!

[ty249]

GENIUS!

[sophiebrownie]

"bold words indeed" XD

[heliogabalus227]

That was so awesome

[HMCgirl]

For some reason, out of everything in this sketch that's great, my FAVORITE part is when Stephen says, "Be quiet." It's so dry!

[littlecupcake3009]

oh my those are very tight tights lol

[susannah193]

To see them in tights is funny but the sketch itself is even funnier!!! You really gotta love them. Just hilarious!! :)

[Dagarvs]

AHHHH this is one of my favs!! thanks so much!!

[MRain65]

The punchline here is awesome.

[cynedalsa]

Oh... my... God!!!

Hugh Laurie in tights... grrrrreat!

thanx for uploading!

[SakaNaomi]

I am in utter love with Stephen's shirt. His sleeves, at least. They make me want to hug his arms.

[eaglestriker147]

Weird that the music was replaced and the dialouge was drowned out in the DVD version...

[NaviLight]

It was replaced because of copy right issues. Wikipedia says "There is a copyright-related music edit on the Series 1 DVD during the final sketch of Episode 6 ("Tony of Plymouth (Sword Fight)"). In the broadcast version, the music was from the soundtrack of "The Sea Hawk" but instead a new piece of music has been used, unfortunately drowning out most of the dialogue in the process."

[ahopelessdreamer]

Im going to assume they learnt fencing or sword fighting in cambridge university so that could be it. Its so weird seeing Hugh in tights after just watching House

[blackcat355]

i like stephen's sleeves...

[solitaryscientist]

I would SELL MY SOUL to have been sitting next to Hugh Laurie in the studio audience during that sketch. Unfortunately, I was about a year old when this was filmed, and may not have appreciated some of the more subtle nuances of the comedy. . .

[oywiththenames]

LOL same here

[wickedfeylady]

I am even more in love with Hugh now...

[Opullal]

"And what is your name sir that you must shroud yourself in a light weight travelling hat?" Classic!

[Thraxwhirl]

Lol! Yes, that was my favourite line from this sketch too.

I also loved "This worm will not means-tested by a bully." LMFAO!

[RequiemForADream412]

Mmm, Hugh Laurie in tights. That just made my day. ^_^

[JunkyardQueen]

Oh man, I want a bathroom lined with venison too.

[adi87tya]

[communistrabbit]

[CrazyHobbitGirl]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaah that .... was.... AWESOME!

[Gaslight61375]

Great punchline! And soundtrack, too. From "The Sea Hawk" with Errol Flynn, I think....

[LilLauren82]

A member of parliament.

[dreamer20k]

[dreamer20k]

[SantaTownJail]

Loved it, loved it, loved it. These two are so funny together.....

[mradamkirton]

Life was oh so sweet back then...memories!Cheers Ardenti.Got any Groovy Fellas?

[Ardenti]

[houseisim]

[jdpenfold]

Oh shit, this is one of the few F&L sketches I've never seen before and it keeps crashing two thirds of the way through! Daaaaaaaaaaamn!

[gaffsie]

I love everything about this sketch, from Stephen's yellow tights to Hugh's closening line.

[homegirrl]

Stephen in tights..*drools*

[ennuipie]

Hugh Laurie... in tights... [brain dies]

[RobbieCook]

I have tears in my eyes from laughing so hard, and it isn't even the first time I've seen this.
