The Word gay(A bit Of Fry and Laurie)

[teruterublitz]

hummussexual.

[puffydcat]

What is a screaming bender?

[BigotesMcbuff]

Ass Bandit = Robber of Donkeys

Homosexual = Sexual Man (following Homoerectus , Homosapiens, and Homapiens Sapiens, we have further evolved, via the facilities provided by the inter-net, to the Sexual Man... notice how there is no term for Sexual Wo-Man, since a wo-man is merely another type of man, with a preceeding "Wo", or "W-O", an acronym for "with out" or "without", refering of course, as we all know, to the Adam's Apple)

[italialex7]

@BigotesMcbuff i think the first part of the word homosexual "homo" comes from a greek word "omo" which is used as a part of word to give a meaning of "same" or "equal". i don't think it comes from "homo" as in human. plus the greek translation is "omofyllofilos" and if u take the 3 parts individually u get "same" "sex" "friend". anyway i might be wrong but this is what i think...

[Jafroboy]

@italialex7 You are right.

[Drarack]

lol, you can clearly see steven trying his hardest not to laugh after bringing up the word arse-bandit

[schattenjager213]

"-Have you told me before?-

-No.-

-Then how can I possibly...-"

Awesome! :D

[organfairy]

It's the same in Danish: The word "bøsse" use to be the Danish word for hunting rifle. But at some point it also became the slang for "male homosexual". And today the original meaning has almost vanished.

[KungfuCow5]

@organfairy Weird. Hunting rifles... yeah they're definitely gay. Basically, get any phallic object you can find.

[GraceMccThe1st]

There's no way to say this without sounding creepy so here we go: I could listen to Stephen Fry say "homosexual" aaallll day.

[mxgirl918]

I'll have to show this to my English teacher some time

[PickNVix]

Lol at first it reminded me of Colin and Ryan in Who's line is it anyway..

[ThePinkFloydPig]

They are too much like michael palin and graham chapman.

[PrimetimeD]

Ass bandit...LOL

[SquidFi5h]

@PrimetimeD Fry and Laurie are very, very English. Not American. So its Arse, not Ass. Just sayin

[TheChiefAtlas]

For gay people I use the "Ballsack hi5ers" phrase. Technically that's what they do.

[pancakewafflebacon]

I've learned so many new words today.. thanks Dr. Gordon Gordon

[juliefactorial]

"The garden is looking very homosexual this morning"

HAHAHA i seriously almost died.

[Taidgh17]

8 people are screaming benders

[HoukouAoi123]

I'm gay and I actualy dislike the word homossexual, gay is so much prettire o.o

[unufrii]

Please do try it with the transcribe sound option on it's hilarious!!!!!!!!

[zoyataylor]

a lovely word!! :DDD loool

[RisaClowde]

Landlord, I'll have two foaming pints of your most homosexual beer! And a packet of ass-bandits! LMAO!!!

[igorperunovic]

Landlord, I'll have two foaming pints of your most homosexual beer! :D

I almost choked laughing! :D

[DamageIncorperated86]

Hugh Laurie used to be so funny.

Now he is funny but also very serious.

What a great actor.

[nikanj]

Two pints of your most homosexual beer I used to say. And the barman would reply two Heinekens it is.

[katiespringfield]

@nikanj you are so unfunny

[stilicho2]

Thank god, I'd been watching Bill Hicks, and I'd forgotten that comedy can be British, and not annoying.

[ultrapersonthing]

I always thought "arsebandit" was a one armed bandit machine that very rarely payed out.

[malelion]

Stephen Fry could have fitted in Monty Python perfectly.

[WhitakerSJA]

Well folks, i'm off for a homsexual pint.

[iamthestig2100]

@WhitakerSJA Keep off the arse-banidt. And I know what you're like with the screaming benders.

[csmars]

@LadyStardustSoul Yes. All 4 series are out on DVD. Check amazon. They are also free-streaming if you have Amazon prime. And you can get them through netflix. Enjoy!

[ThePaintedOddity82]

Then how could I possibly?

[KimberlyRenae27]

Is that house?

[TobyEllisSongwriter]

@KimberlyRenae27 yes, that is Hugh Laurie, who plays house. In the UK for years and years he was a comic actor, but to the rest of the world with House, a serious actor (although he did appear in an episode of Friends and on films like stuart little etc). Ergo the man is genius!

[ShizoukaMukai]

@TobyEllisSongwriter He also played Dr Cockroach on Monsters vs Aliens. He's one of my favorite actors. Personally, I would love to see Steven Fry show up on an episode of House.

[Iced1992]

@ShizoukaMukai He couldn't save Bones, though. What an eerily aggravating show that is.

[pixiegarza]

Would you care to have a go on the ass bandit?

[Drillogicaldrummer]

Lol, love it!

[ERR0R9O9]

Nope.avi

[1shot1kills2d]

5 people are HOMOSEXUAL

[Skagnita]

Agh! Gasp!

Does anybody know which skit came first? This one, or the Kids in the Hall skit found on Youtube as "Why Did They Have to Take the Word Gay?"

[Skagnita]

@Skagnita (sorry that I can not link to it)

[stevolution666]

@Skagnita sure it was this

[ec0shop]

@Skagnita This was aired in 1989, vs. Kids' skit in 1991.

[kgoodwriter92]

I love that I have English in my heritage.

[zoyataylor]

loool

[Mooandi]

'Arse-Bandits' Hahahahaha. x

[MrTrenchcoatguy]

My my, aren't they homosexual this fine screaming bendy morning.

[darbone]

kids in the hall redid this skit

[secretworldleader]

Teehee! Arse-bandit!

[manozobe]

Puffet (sounds like poofey) used to be a foot rest, but it sounds like a gay word too. So it's not really used anymore either

[manozobe]

You can't use the word "fag" for cigarette in Ameirca/Canada either without them thinking it's something 'homosexual' . How dare the gay words be taken

[wesamjonas]

Ok, im not from england, nor any english speaking country, but... what IS arse bandit?

[HangulMaster]

@wesamjonas There is nothing in the world called an Arse Bandit besides gay people. They are joking about them taking the words. Listen to the last part. "A pack of Arse Bandits" They really mean Fags, but they're just being silly.

[Thisismyusername1010]

@HangulMaster AND THERE'S ANOTHER ONE!

I take it you certainly aren't American. :) Teehee...

[allblue88]

This was very very gay! love it!

[AboutHreinzi]

Wow, i thought they were Penn and teller at first

[ebiljebus]

@AboutHreinzi And then Teller started talking, and you realized you were wrong.

[debluemonkey]

@ebiljebus AND THERE'S ANOTHER ONE!

[ChrisGJ700]

This was so funny I nearly fell of my arse bandit, would you believe!

[manowar8899]

the garden is looking very homosexual this morning :D:D:D

[Magic4Real312]

Youtube captions don't understand british accents >.<

[357Snowball]

Completely and utterly fair enough :) I just wish in a completely weird, protective, granny like way (I'm 13) that EVERYONE KNEW :D

[357Snowball]

@pahjx Duh. I think I am being an awful stereotype of the English, but it annoys me SO MUCH that some Americans think he's american. You can't have him!! He's OURS!!!!!! Now how ridiculous is it that I think that way????

[libville]

@357Snowball Well, Hugh spent nearly his entire career in the UK and then came over and put on a perfect American accent. Since nobody had ever heard of him, they assumed he was some American stage actor getting a big break in TV. Trust me anyone who watches at talk show or an awards show knows he's YOURS! He always uses his Brit accent for that. I love the Blackadder "Antidisestablishmentarianism" clip.

[Craplatte]

@libville You mean "antidistinctliminti", don't you??

[goldfishpaste]

@592653589 ONE? Oh dear, I think I'd prefer SEVERAL...

[Gessador]

Could somebody help me with the word they say on 0:35?

"People'd think you mean..."

Thanks in advance.

[kaseysospacey]

@Gessador Poofy, it's a slang term for gays.

[xretrovertigox]

The Kids In The Hall actually do a rip-off of this sketch. I love both versions.

[Dannywills666]

2 pints of your most homosexual beer and a packet of arse bandits and keep the change

[victortanev]

The garden is looking very homosexual this morning.

[iamthestig2100]

@victortanev Just taking the arse-bandit to the menders.

[MelisandeSharizai]

"Landlord, I'll have two foaming pints of your most homosexual beer."

"Oh! And a packet of arsebandits as well!"

"And keep the change."

BAHAHA!!

[superskh]

Saw this a while ago, and soooooo glad I found it again.

Gotta love British comedy :D

[03ngower]

As someone currently trying to write sketches myself, I find it simultaneously inspiring and disheartening to see how easily these two manage to write. Such a simple idea, a stroke of brilliance, but would never have occurred to me. I suppose you just have to defer to the masters of the art!

[longcatislooong]

@03ngower Don't lose hope. Those 2 minutes you saw was the result of a lifetime of blood, sweat and tears that you didn't see.

[HarrisnFordStar]

lovely decent couple of words xD

[BrizyComics]

I had a tenth grade English teacher who said this EXACT same thing! I swear to God. Well about the "gay" word anyway.

[F0xyTh3F0x]

0:19 A LOVELY WORD!!!

[BadNews88]

ROFLMAO!

These guys ROCK!

Saw their telly programmes in the 1990's when I spent holidays here (Away from Cleveland)..

A *DVD compilation* under my Christmas Tree fer me, Santa, if you please..

Thanx fer this clip, m8..

[saikyoryu]

I'm still waiting for Stephen Fry to make a guest appearance on "House". Hugh Laurie probably wouldn't even be able to get through a scene without cracking up!

[armegeddis]

@saikyoryu House would have to admit to being Bisexual in that episode, just because it has Stephen Fry in it. :D

[MarkPwnzJ00]

look at that one thumbs down. faggot.

[WARPALORPA]

@MarkPwnzJ00 I bet it was you and you instructing us to look at yourself, because you are just that needy. Faggot is a harsh word(and it used to be such a lovely word too). You shouldn't be so hard on yourself, unless you like it like that.

[RailroadSpike1]

@MarkPwnzJ00 Faggot! Faggots and peas with gravy makes a lovely dinner. Actually now that you mention it I might pop down the butchers and get some. Thanks for the advice, I was having a hell of a time deciding on tea.

[LithiumJasper]

This makes me smile even more knowing they're not really making fun of changing language, but the decreptitude of those who can't accept that language changes.

[RiparianRhapsody]

@LithiumJasper i think it's more them complaining about how normal words have been changed into ghastly insults. fag used to mean cigarette, in some places it still does. puffy refers to clouds. disliking language changes like this is not decrepitude, how would you like being gay and being called a screaming bender, or a fag? they're terrible insults to gay peoples, and should rightly be shunned.

[kingbane2]

@RiparianRhapsody then what the real problem is, is the intention when someone says a word not the actual word. because if you simply shun a word you give far too much power to 1 word, not to mention that at anytime people could simply stigmatize any other word. you dont like gay? stigmatize it, dont like homosexual stigmatize it, dont like blue? stigmatize it. and so on. people can't be walking on eggshells everytime they want to say something. it's ridiculous.

[Pahjx]

If you look closely at the guy on the right, you would notice he is the same guy who plays Dr. House in House.

[Beedy10]

@Pahjx Was that a series comment or not?

[Pahjx]

@Beedy10 That was a "series" comment.

[lulululuqtqt]

@Pahjx  NO WAY!!! =0

[Mctagster]

@Pahjx No shit Sherlock! XD

[SeanFLRead]

Gay had use to be a lovely word. I say that all the time, but people seen to feel to put me in a straight jacket when I bring it up... so I still continue to bring it up!

[spickinpower]

the garden is looking very homosexual today :D

[xxpurpleCHROMExx]

Landlord, I'll have two foaming pints of your most homosexual beer.

[TornLoveNotes]

"...and keep the change."

[GhastlyOnesRule]

"Back in a moment darling , I'm just taking the arse-bandit to the mender's"

:D

[PsychoHellKat]

"The gardens looking very homosexual today"

gosh that line made me laugh :D

[circusfreak92]

haha No, Fry and Laurie is way before. Kids in The Hall Started a year before Fry and Laurie ended.

But both are epic!

[joeheadjoe1]

@circusfreak92 Just to Clarify: While Fry and Laurie did indeed perform this sketch 3 or 4 years before Kids in the Hall's thematically similar version, both shows began their regular series runs in 1989 and finished together in 1995 according to IMDB and a few other sources.

[drtmuir]

"And there's another one!"

[Spencerfarrington]

stephen fry IS homosexual

[90Bine]

@Spencerfarrington and?

[Idnarmadur]

Now that people tend to use the word "gay" in the sense "stupid, shitty" (*combat mode*), this sketch acquires a new meaning.

[SlashAndLanguages]

They're great!! <33

[noun12345]

My, Stephen Fry looks very homosexual in this clip... in both ways...

[Kayleigh55555]

I've seen this over 15 times now, and it's still FUNNY AS HELL :D Stephen Fry an Hugh Laurie are the best!

[BLE1969]

Love it!

[fampie2008]

The garden's looking very homosexual this morning!

lol, so funny!

[mr0buch]

I say, this video was extremely homosexual!

[eshana1anam]

there are almost on the point of cracking up in this video! splendid couple!

[Roundapanda]

This sketch is still relevant today! Why, just this morning, I skipped up to my teacher and said "Splendid morning sir, your tie is looking very homosexual, I have my arse bandit to hand in" I was given a detention! Ridiculous!

[ADyingFaith]

Ha ha i wud have loved to have seen ur teachers reaction.

[Lilliz91]

@Roundapanda HAHAHAHAH

[BlackKat71]

@Roundapanda I think you win. Homosexually.

[RefusetoListen]

@Roundapanda What a homosexual comment, you arse bandit! :)

[Fortevn]

@Roundapanda Did you really?

[theRealPlaidRabbit]

Now and again in this clip, Stephen is just at a certain angle, and he reminds one strongly of a young Dick van Dyke.

[Kayleigh55555]

he does!

[RacyReggie]

The garden's looking very homosexual this morning

[ImhotepsAshes]

Oh, it's one of the great words!

[fedokosmokrator]

My computer is looking very homosexual today.

[HHollyMMarie]

[whitejmw]

They were and are BRILLIANT!!!!!!

[redmr2na]

Is it just me or does anyone else see a young Paul Mcartney in Stephen Fry in this scene?

[HHollyMMarie]

i do

[kaseydupree]

it's the hair

lmfao

[insaneforstuff254]

it is true!

[ml74116]

So true. His eyes and hair are very Paul Mcartney-like here.

[Granspejuis]

I see a young Gregory House

[Watabird]

No you see a young Hugh Laurie. *nodnod* :3

[HHollyMMarie]

[xojeckiaxo]

[cj18494]

[cydoniansheriff]

[DinAndNayru]

WOW. I just laughed my ass off so hard XD

GREAT X3 -L

[justiaonesecret02]

"oh! and a packet of ass-bandits as well!"

[marta0788]

"the garden's looking very homosexual as well" xDDD so great, indeed

[pendrellgirl]

At 1:43, it looks like Stephen's trying not to laugh. I really don't blame him, though; this is hilarious.
