A Bit of Fry and Laurie - Victorian Gentlemen

[LaSeuleEtoile]

the quality is a bit disappointing /: otherwise, thanks for posting these clips. They make me happy :)

[Skeew1]

is it just me, or is this a lot like the robert and elizabeth sketch from their footlights revue?

[soeffingwhat]

@Skeew1 - it is a bit, but its still hilarious though!

[nikanj]

British porn never really did it for me.

[muffin8or]

I like broth but with a soupy twist.

[Halldisa]

Brrrrrrroth!

[weirdlightsaber44]

Hey, isn't this a parody of The Invalid, the book that Hugh suggested Stephen read when he said that Jane Eyre was balls? Different sketch I know but...

[katebushr0x]

@weirdlightsaber44 Thats what I thought! Tarbutt? Double balls and bollocks! haha...

[koratvinnie]

@KatiB88 It's a London/Southeast England accent.

[InTecknicolour]

Fry = Oscar Wilde

Laurie = Charles Dickens

the appearances are uncanny

[KatiB88]

what accent is hugh's last character speaking with?

[drumdust]

Ah 'Best 'o British'.



[jeevesthepunk]

i think more fights should start with "then sup on this!"

[oblivionsnightmare]

3:06 Hugh Laurie is great and all, but makes a REALLY ugly woman. Haha!

[Eriksoneandonly]

@oblivionsnightmare I dunno, I think he's kinda cute. XD

[koratvinnie]

"All! The devil fly away with your impudence!" ;D

[LeslieWilsonPerry]

Fry's Wilde audition tape, much?

[LeslieWilsonPerry]

Oh my god, it's Oscar Wilde.

[TheImmigrantsong]

This is the lost episode of Blackadder

[DeliciousBubbleTea]

Wilde has ruined this sketch for me.

[GiniBaggins]

Looks like Oscar Wilde just walked into her room :P

[katelynna10000]

@GiniBaggins THAT'S WHAT I SAID!

[Pazman1966]

The whole show was genius. You may be interested to know that on the first showing in 1991 the recipe really WAS shown on ceefax page 627 that night!

[JFMello1116]

You DARE to presume upon a sick girl with SOUP?!

[joshaf26]

Oh, my God! It's Hugh Laurie's evil twin!

[thestrtingline48]

whos the girl?

[neymason]

Fry and Laurie dressed in Victorian attire: OMG! That would be, undoubtedly, my greatest sexual fantasy :)

[xxZombieKittyxx]

BrrrOTH?

[anetchi]

is that all?

--All? The devil fly away with your impudence.

Of course, it is not all.

This stuff feeds the metaphorical soul! I wish it was on tv in the US

[katelynna10000]

there's Stephen wishing he was Oscar Wilde again. When he first walked in and I didn't see his chair was so curly I was like 'oh here we go again' (Anyone who has seen Stephen Fry IN 'Wilde' will know what I'm talking about)). Not that I can say anyhting...I'd cosplay as Wilde too!

That poor girl looks like she's gonna puke! oh and- the answer is, of course, both- then take the girl out! (Sorry- I love Fry/Laurie slash) I love this! SOOO funny! <3

[Luthinya]

@katelynna10000 So true, so true. A part of me wants to watch this as the epic Wilde-versus-Dickens battle that never was. And I bet Hugh Laurie would be richer than Bill Gates now if he had a pound for every time Stephen tried to proposition him... :)

[Hopeless03]

@katelynna10000 LOL, if Stephen looks like Wilde, then Hugh looks like Whistler. Theres the Wilde/Whistler enmity again xD

[afz902k]

I wouldn't suppose Victorian ladies end sentences in prepositions.

[Pazman1966]

@afz902k she's out of character at that point in the sketch isn't she?

[barborasmetankova]

Is it just me, or does Hugh look a bit like Arnold Schwarzeneger in the clip beggining at 3:29

[kiwihills]

hugh at 3:13 is so hot!

[backwoodsninja]

They look quite dashing in Victorian garb, do they not?

[guinivereXbloodgood]

Hugh Laurie is hot in drag.

[Wonkapoo]

"In the meantime, I'm going to have to decide which of these two to have sex with"

Am I the only one who shouted "BOTH AT ONCE!!!!"?

[I4gotmyMANTRA]

@Wonkapoo

No. No, you are not.

[DorkifiedAndLovely]

!!!!!!! "In the meantime, I'm going to have to decide which of these two to have sex with!

HAHA!

[RivaJane]

I have just discovered what my own personal heaven would be:

These two guys, dressed as Victorian gentlemen, competing for my affections! ahhh...

[SirRobin126]

That would be wonderful!

[fampie2008]

with their "delicious" broth/dish or saucer of soup?

[cordeliashoes]

What a video! I think Stephen Fry in particular was really brilliant in this ("Elizabeth, I cannot recommend that you endanger your delicate constitution with coarse peasant brrroths!") :D

[18violet]

my favorite characters are the short ones like the old lady or man.....lol

[dfarmbrough]

I bet that one day, people will ask what Ceefax is under this :-)

[pifras]

cee-fax?

[dfarmbrough]

No, just 'Ceefax'. No hyphen.... It means 'see facts'

[pifras]

i know, i said it for pahthetic lols. thanks anyway

[dfarmbrough]

Sorry!

[kateDAbomb]

oh - my -god !

[YKW2]

"Then sup on this!"

:D

[Timmertube75]

Yes - BBC period dramas are this painful to watch. Like treading water in custard.

[Mullahgrrl]

That actually sounds like a lot of fun.

[davesake]

Oh my god i love custard! Give me a pool of custard in which to tread!!!! But please, keep the period dramas away from me.

[08jansmc]

If you want to see a mockery of Period Dramas, type "stephen fry and emma thompson" into the search bar of youtube, and click on the first link with stephen and emma in period clothes - I swear, it is one of the funniest videos i have ever, ever seen!

[soeffingwhat]

It shows that some of the best Comedy doesn't have to be from what is said, but from the way its said. Just Fry's pronunciation of 'Soup' is very Funny.

[JuuhachigouSama]

My god, that woman at the end is AMAZING! ;)

[bindiyay]

Hugh at 3:07 lol - they both look so cute in women's clothes even if they still sound like Jeeves and Wooster!

[metalqueen2000]

And this is why you don't let men in the kitchen to cook. Just make it a threesome.

[Goethefemme]

Sounds like Monty Python without Cleese and Idle.

[zboghicea]

yeah, thanks for spoiling that for me,lad

[cascadingshadows]

(Lady, not lad ^_^) It was just funny to me, you needn't get so sensitive about it. I meant no harm.

[Richardpd16378]

Great Stuff!!!!!!!!!!

When I first saw this I laughed like a drain, but didn't get another chance to see it until now!

[bakerstreetbookworm]

Dish OR saucer! :)

Hugh looks quite girlish at 3:18!

[phemyda94]

haha "i too knew that i would come"

[cottonwhiskersuk]

So, in the final segment why does Hugh have a smudge on his left cheek?

[Evilizabeth]

I'm guessing that since his shirt appears to be rumpled and grass-stained that the fellow he's portraying has been indulging in a friendly rugby match or the like.

[TheGreatRichter]

I think I might just try this wooing technique on my next unfortunate victim that I invite to dinner.I just need to decide whether to serve them soup reconstituted from boiled horses rectum or broth made from fried bull's penis.tough choice ??

[independenteagle]

lmao

[pirateslady4ever]

lmfao

[plasticwind]

"BROTH??!?!"

[chumpchkin]

She has to pick ONE to have sex with? How ever will she choose?

[wickedfeylady]

that's what threesomes are for, hello! LOL Stephen is channeling Wilde again it seems, while Hugh is engaged in some sort of Charles Dickens cosplay. But yeah, I'd hit that.

[slytherinsheirx]

@chumpchkin Or they could er... well. Make do.

[FemaleWeaponX]

yea, I's throw up, too. still, nice attempt.

[KAT65]

SEe the footlights revue extra on the season 2 DVD. Fry and Emma Thompson play the couple and they are hilarious.

[prfctday]

lol I wonder what was really on Cefax page 627 that night :-D

[Pazman1966]

@prfctday these recipes were on that ceefax page that night, believe it or not

[Dagarvs]

this is incredible. ohhhh gads. FRY is so damn funny.. amazing, amazing.

[poldova]

i love their hair,

[imstained4]

wow ok then

[ossiacadenza]

Great word play reconstituted from a stock of boiled horses rectum!! and portrays both gentlemens futile attempts to woo the lady(with not much success)over which is best soup or broth!!.Brilliant!.
