Stephen Fry gets wired - Stephen Fry & Hugh Laurie - BBC comedy

[mxgirl918]

lol...that's the ultimate tongue twister! xD

[DarkestHeart266]

Stephen: When I was 17 I’d already tried 14 different jobs, married twice fathered many many many many children, eaten a perfectly enormous quantity of food over a long time period, been weaned off 6 types of class A dangerous drug, given up smoking, taken it up again, given it up again, taken it up again, given taking it up and taken giving it up again and again and again and again.

[Namaechan]

@DarkestHeart266 Um... You don't have to write down the whole sketch. We have a clip of Stephen Fry for that.

[DarkestHeart266]

@Namaechan i know, was proving a point to a friend :] i won $15

[Namaechan]

@DarkestHeart266 Wow. Easy money :P

[DarkestHeart266]

By the time I was 20 alcohol had never passed my lips yet I was reckless and predatory alcoholic, my life was in pieces, my marriages were shattered, my children lay in ruins. I was paying alimony along the sinuses, behind the dark interior passages of the skull and through the nose.

[DarkestHeart266]

But at 30, at 30 came the chance to redeem a bin liner of broken promises, if I didn’t take that chance what would I be, what would I become? Just another friendless acid spot on the back buttock of a weeping society. So I took it, took the chance, picked up the ball and ran, went for it, threw caution to the teeth of the gale, never look back just keep running.

[DarkestHeart266]

I did it, forget the past there’s nothing there, not even memories, just a road you never travelled unwinding backward to a place you never came from, where fruit grows on tree you never climbed, in an orchard where you lost your virginity to a boy called Timothy who died of Horlicks poisoning before you were born, no answers there-

Hugh: -Stephen Stephen Stephen Stephen…

Stephen: Yes?

Hugh: Go and have a lie down.

Stephen: Okay.

Hugh: S:

[arne8DDD]

I love Hughs face at the end xDDD

[SpiritWanderer91]

0:10 - 0:20 Stop mocking me ! >.<

[zoyataylor]

tongue twisters from mr. fry ;)

[themillenia]

@Lovinglikeyoudo101 Same here. It's so sophisticated. Not stupid and trashy

[Namaechan]

Finally read Fry's biography! Am now wondering if i'm having a crush on a man older than my father and completely romantically un-interested in my gender. It's strangely comfortable.

I should be studying, but i'm thinking of borrowing The liar, one of the few Fry books in my library... He's just so darn cute. Especially in this clip, the picture in his biography where he thinks he looks too smug, and in the "gorgeous" sketch xD Why oh why weren't i born in England?

[DarkestHeart266]

@Namaechan You are not alone. :)

[hellopolly87]

This is brilliant! Anyone know what he says at 0:22 after 'paying alimony' ?

[aconitine182]

@hellopolly87 He says - "I was paying alimony, along the sinuses, behind the dark interior passages of the skull, and through the nose"

[pullanchor]

11 people died of Horlicks poisoning before they were born.

[jamesS0289]

I want this on a ring tone sooooooo much!

[Sboy200]

I thought Stephen Fry was bi-poler now I see he's bi-winning ;D

[AdamMoysen]

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is the result of 5 Red Bulls. :)

[iOnlySignIn]

My children lay in ruins.

@futuristfood

depending on what browser you use, you can add-on an extension to block ads on lots of sites. Such as youtube, vevo, and anywhere else there are ads. It really makes a big difference. I haven't been bothered with any ads for a long time now. I use Firefox and the ad-on is ad-blocker plus. Hope it helps. ;)

[historygenius]

@TheSylversword21 Adblocker plus is like God's gift to mankind :D

[trip7744]

Yes I guess I reckon!

[trip7744]

Wow! What a talent! He's good!

[EmmyNeander]

@trip7744 D'you reckon? Haha :D Of course he is! <3

[TRoastable]

i had to wait for 30seconds because the advert didn't load!

[dweedwee]

Horlicks* poisoning, which makes it much funnier.

[EmmyNeander]

"Forget the past, there's nothing there, not even memory! It's just a road you never travelled unwinding backwards to a place you never came from where fruit grows on trees you never climbed in an orchard where you lost your virginity to a boy named Timothy who died of hornet's poisoning before you were born."

Hahahahahahaha!

[dxslove]

@EmmyNeander

Ahahahahaha

But I always thought he said 'Horlicks poisoning' lol

[EmmyNeander]

@dxslove Oh yeah, I think you're right. I've no idea what that is, but it does sound like it. :) Cheers.

[Craplatte]

By the time i was 20, alcohol had never passed my lips but yet i was a reckless and predatory alcoholic!

[Archronos1]

Very articulate, i've reevaluated my opinion on Stephen Fry.

[lnfreeman]

guess he was having a little manic episode there

[chocchipfox]

haha luv hugh's facial expression at the end

[paulthecoolest]

this must be mania side of stephen fry

[naganokumas]

Please don't tell me it was the same Timothy as mine.

[Sem5626]

i just wanna leeevee

[bedofrazorsqwerty]

What a crooked nose.

[LadyMackeral]

@bedofrazorsqwerty He wouldn't be Stephen Fry without his crooked nose, it adds to his charm (:

[tuliratsu]

@LadyMackeral Amen to that! :) Stephen and his nose are a legend, wouldn't even imagine him with a straight nose. Just as I wouldn't imagine him straight.

[LadyMackeral]

@tuliratsu Totally <3

[Craplatte]

@tuliratsu I believe the crooked nose is where Stephen's genius comes from...

[Shindai]

"Where you lost your virginity to a boy called Timothy, who died of Horlicks poisoning before you were born." God that line cracked me up!

[rocksoliddude1]

@Shindai where fruit grew on trees you never climbed

[BaneLupine]

I have a word perfect transcribe for this if anyone wants it?

[fritspas]

Whatch what hugh does in this!

[standuporshutup]

i was hoping Hugh would punch him, for payback:]

[qwiglydee]

is there a transcript?

[PhillyGirl1]

I want to learn this monolgue. all of it.

[pandakoi]

horlicks poisoning??!

[ELuhn]

@pandakoi some hors are poisonous, though not all. Consult a specialist or a very good guidebook before licking any.

[toReasonWhy]

rofl "my children lay in ruins"

[MrGBH]

Having watched far too much Mythbusters in my time, the only thing I can think is "Is it really possible to die from Horlicks poisoning?"

[Drroxxette]

This sketch is quite possibly one of the single greatest things I've ever witnessed.

Doing this monologue for an audition. May the power of Fry and ALL that is Laurie aid me in my quest. 

[MeonProductions]

I am now sure, that this man doesn't have to breathe at all. :D

How did he manage to get all that stuff out without stumbling over the words? and at that speed notheless xD

[NedsAmazingShed]

this is brilliant.

[SofJae]

@Centuria13 I thought he said Timothy...?

[SaiyukiGS]

Best soliloquy I've ever listened to.

[xenos82]

I love this.

[chrisplus23]

JIMMITHY. what a guy.

[IAmNotHarriet]

The thing that amazes me is how he says "againandagainandagainandagain­". That is the very definition of skill.

[Centuria13]

"A boy called Jimmithy" oh, Stephen, you're priceless! And Hugh face at the end!

[kobalt77]

I have totally forgotten how good this show was !

[yatter1]

House - shit, we want our Hugh back again.

[EarthbenderToph396]

hugh's face at the end is priceless!!

[thanx4life]

not only masters at comedy, also masters of script reading... holly shit that scared me. Awesome job!

[SamDLite]

ROFLMFAO! Gosh I wish these two would go back into comedy together. This is CLASSIC BoFL!

[JulietBeyondGoth]

Best alarm clock sound. Ever

[hazelnut650]

@JulietBeyondGoth I know! :D

[altilye]

I can listen to this like to a mantra. Thanks for uploading it again!

[BOSOX9004]

againandagainandagainandagain

[BakuraSR45]

This is Wilson on "SPEED" again lol

[XxMovieAddictxX]

to this day I still make that face Hugh makes at the end when someone is too wired!! lol

[Lamporre]

No wonder they got him to play Oscar Wilde. He's a lot like Wilde, if you look into their lives.

[PluginBaby249]

@Lamporre and he really looks like wilde!!

[Lamporre]

@PluginBaby249

Personally Stephen Fry and Oscar Wilde are proof that reincarnation is possible.

[worotan]

@Lamporre except Wilde wrote plays and lived at the avant-garde of his culture, and Stephen Fry presents and acts, and lives in a safe societal cocoon. Love Fry to bits, but really, just because he looks a bit like him, and lives in a slightly louche manner; he is presented as Wilde-like, but really, it's Wilde-lite.There's a difference in writing devastating social satires, and presenting pleasant, mildly humorous light fiction and BBC commissions. Overpraising his work like this ruins it.

[JimmySteller]

@worotan

Yes, but they also both had issues with their homosexuality growing up and were from a respectable high class background.

[Irishgakk]

Fucking brillant

[KTcattProductions]

were i lost my virginety to a boy named Timothy! :D i love that

[Oiyuki]

Toooo much coffee for Stephen

[Superplex1001]

My name is timothy :D

[2504marcus]

very very clever, who else but steven could have done this.

[thul]

His character in House (gregory house) is great. No need to compare his older work with his new.. :)

[Supraman352]

@thul They're probably just jealous it's an American show with Hugh Laurie. I agree with you!

[Fizzisist]

Horlicks poisoning!

[sincemarchoflastyear]

I have written down this whole speech and am learning it off by heart.

Stephen Fry- you God.

"By the time I was 20 alcohol had never passed my lips yet I was a reckless and predatory alcoholic. My life was in pieces, my marriages were shattered, my children lay in ruins."

[zolboo23]

@Pointedancer9  I can not love the ending cuz Hugh just stopped Stephen's awesomeness with such trivial sentence with no emotion.

[Namaechan]

@zolboo23 That's kind of the point xD

[neymason]

Stephen Fry is God!!!!!

[BelfastAtheist]

'..where you lost your virginity to a boy called timothy who died of horlick poisining before you were born!' Haha, Stephen Fry is one of the best individuals ever born.

[zolboo23]

It seems like Fry writes and performs the majority of the sketch. For this reason, I think Fry is 100 times better than Laurie in "A bit of Fry and Laurie". I do not know about their other works, though.

[madeinengland90]

@zolboo23 There's a video somewhere on youtube where Stephen says that this is the biggest misconception about Fry & Laurie - Stephen makes a lovely speech about Hugh :)

[zolboo23]

@madeinengland90 Dude! I appreciate it a lot ! Le me check that out

[PsychoHellKat]

I love the way Stephens just like ".....ok" and Hugh pulls that face. :D

[TheAverageFox]

Hugh's face at the end make me choke on some brioche.

[aimeeblack76]

amazing speaking speed!

[Shindai]

"Where you lost your virginity to a boy called Timothy who died of Horlicks poisoning before you were born" LMFAO I love that man :D:D

[Sorina03]

I gotta learn that.

[crazybyjohncusack93]

damn' fast^^

funny enough to cry laughing tears^^

[ZarabethS179]

Amazed he remembered it all! And brilliant facial acting by hugh at the end!

[lennic95]

I was scared when Hugh peeked out of the corner!

[I4gotmyMANTRA]

When I was seventeen I'd already tried fourteen different jobs, married twice, fathered many, many, many, many children, eaten aperfectly enormous quantities of food over a long time period, been weened off six types of class-A dangerous drug, given up smoking, taken it up again, given it up again, taken it up again, given taking it up and taken giving it up again and again and again and a again.

[I4gotmyMANTRA]

By the time I was twenty alchohol had never passed my lips and yet I was a ---- ----- alchoholic, my life was in peices, by marraiges shattered, my children lay in ruins, I was paying alimony behind the sinuses along the dark interior passages that scour through the nose.

[I4gotmyMANTRA]

But at thirty, at thirty came the chance to redeem a bidenliner of broken promises. If I didn' take that chance what would I be, what would I become? Just another friendless acid spot on the back-buttock of a weeping society.

[I4gotmyMANTRA]

So I took it! Took the chance, picked up the ball and ran, went for it, threw caution to the teeth of the gale, never looked back just keep runing- I did it! Forget the past! there's nothing there! Not even memories just a road you never traveled on winding backwards to a place you never came from, where fruit grows on trees you never climbed in an orchard where you lost your virginity to a boy named Timothy, who died of hornets poisoning before you were born...

[I4gotmyMANTRA]

Hugh's face at the end gets better every time I watch this. bahahahahahaha!

[darkhanzhumatov]

haha

[FleeingShadow]

lol the face Hugh makes at the end :P

[happeningfish77]

"my children lay in ruins" always gets me giggling

[charlottemilie]

duh. House is nothing compared to what he's done over the years

[linkinpark9sc]

@charlottemilie Agreed entirely :D

[RasMajnouni]

@charlottemilie "House" is akin to good art as a condom is to procreation.

[StojanceM]

@charlottemilie yeah but he sure is fun :D

[cpen22]

@charlottemilie House is as phenomenal a drama as his comedy is hilarious.

[volglizolic]

@charlottemilie house are very good series

[marquoth]

@rapha1996 No shit, Sherlock

[rapha1996]

...

[daviesisRight]

haha house is based on sherlock homes lol that was awsome and u didn't even mean it

[s4vageh]

if he/she wasnt completely sure, then asking is perfectly normal, so why do you have to stomp someone in to the ground for it?

[ELuhn]

Does anyone know, was this before or after his doc on manic depression?

[jomayc0ck]

@ELuhn Well before. This was filmed in the early 90s and his documentary on manic depression was in 2006. (Both are available on DVD :D)

[notsocomicaltv]

hes had it all his life

[p3rs0nan0ngrata]

@notsocomicaltv

Pardon my pedantry, but I hardly think he came out of the womb feeling despondently bored by the emergence of a new world.

[notsocomicaltv]

haha certainly not. thank you for correcting me, its true i was not working to an apropriate degree of accuracy. wonderful wording i must add

[xxlurkingkittyxx]

@notsocomicaltv Wonderful wording?

Stilted and pompous is how I'd describe it.

[notsocomicaltv]

@xxlurkingkittyxx well then you are a very rude and frankly judging person.

[xxlurkingkittyxx]

@notsocomicaltv Sorry. :P

[notsocomicaltv]

@xxlurkingkittyxx dont be xD

[xxlurkingkittyxx]

@notsocomicaltv It was still very nicely worded!

[bbBumble28]

Hugh looks so repulsed. haha

[mahler71]

A boy who died of Horlicks poisoning!! Lol!

[awkwardbarry]

@xxlurkingkittyxx Officially missed the point.

[orlandob4ever]

I love Hugh's face at the end, very funny video

[AndrAia25]

What the F** is with the "progressive" commercials. Commercials get off the F***ing Interent.

[sfmike20]

Capitalism in action.

[luvinbuzzin]

@AndrAia25

blank them out :) the're here to stay

[zoerickard]

WOW! A-Mazing!

[yellowmarzzia]

hilarious!!!!!!!!

[ThatsNotASpoon]

His face at the end... PRICELESS

[drgnfrddd]

Oh... Okay.

[JamesFarrkoff]

@smarty2103: I think it's "Given up smoking, taken it up again, given it up again, taken it up again, given taking it up and taken giving it up again and again and again and again."

[gernumblies]

There is no-one quite like these two.

Legends.

[HisForeverr]

@gernumblies Well I think morcambe and Wise and Laurel and Hardy are up there too :) ♥

[paul45862]

I was standing right here...Oh sorry wrong sketch.

[smarty2103]

I'm pretty sure this is the funniest thing I have ever seen! Taken it up, giving it up, giving and taking, taking and giving again again again and again.

GENIUS.

[anthonythirteen]

This sketch is soo...Oh Christ, I've left the iron on...

[bobthebuilder118118]

CLASSIC ;D

[eshana1anam]

horlicks poisoning!!!!!!!!!!!...hahahaa­a

[Lunarwill]

Perhaps the only bit of truth is that Mr. Fry did lose his virginity to a boy named Timothy.

[SnorckackSearcher]

According to his autobiography, the boy was called Oliver, but I guess he probably changed the name anyway.

[piejesus1991]

considering he 'died of Horlicks poisoning before he was born', it probably isn't 100% autobiographical just saying.

[SnorckackSearcher]

piejesus1991- lol, I know that, I was referring to Lunarwill's comment- forgot to mention it in the post.

[piejesus1991]

ah, my bad

[thehobbitsam]

"before you were born" was the quote

[Christopher224]

He could of done it to the lady,which ended up to little Timmy......I need to lie down...

[88Tikko]

4 God sake!!! i hate them)))i just can't help with laughing!

[MrAnon78]

Dont watch this stuff then...

[xFrogLoverx]

HAHA, oh dear, I love Hugh's grimace at the end, haha xD

[Oshenie]

This vaguely reminds me of the trainspotters "choose life" speech . . . but much much funnier naturally.

[xFrogLoverx]

I thought the same thing...

[marshmallowpie42]

funny sketch♥

[drgnfrddd]

Totally Stephen Fry, sadly enough.

[monkeyaround92]

"ste- ste- ste- stephen stephen stephen."

"yesss?"

"go and have a lie down."

"ok."

*grimace*

LOL

[CuteBadger]

What the fuck is up with these shitty ads???

[McSnookerman]

haha i love it when he says again and again and againg
