A Bit of Fry and Laurie - Halloween

[gomagash]

I said, "This is England, not America!" when children came trick or treating this year.

[DreamsMelody]

I don't care where I am as long as Hugh Laurie is right there beside me ;)

[fleuve0styx]

A far cry from Dr. House. XD Brits for the win! XD

[homer076]

I'm from Spain, but... This is England, not America! :P

[AnonymousComrade]

these guys were great in blackadder, i can't believe i never heard of this show until today

[GiantessGirl]

I agree with you. This IS England and NOT America.

[SnapeSoul]

This has so much overt, natural, and subtle humor that most people can't appreciate the sexy manners in which they all connect. This is SO goddamn underrated! :D :O WOWWWW, gahh! xP ;P This is just....a "deep shag that really satisfies." ;)

[KTcattProductions]

i love this! XD 

[adraim69]

The deep shag that really satisfies.... priceless.

[60sto80s2]

do you like football?

ye

do you fancy arsnal this year

nah , ifancy my sister though

lol best line ever

poor kids

XD

[stewux]

The way Hugh grabs the kid at 2.09, haha absolute quality!

[SevenSons7]

THIS IS ENGLAND NOT AMERICA!!! hahahahahahaha!!!

[mhirtes12]

Let's hope F&L got to experience ANOTHER Yank Halloween tradition later that night, called "TP'ing". :)

[obsidanse]

Yes we KNOW kids In Britain do it too! That's the point of the sketch you great nana!

We don't want it.

When it's a tradition in almost every house in the land, then it works. All the homes have decorations outside. The kids go round with an adult shaperone normally. Everyone gets involved.

Here though, it's essentially begging.

If you see a house in the uk with Halloween decoration outside, by all means, give them a knock. Everywhere else... BUGGER OFF!

[merbelle]

It's not anti-American. It's poking fun at England for being so heavy-handed about something that could be light-hearted. At the same time, appeasing natives about not wanting to participate in an American tradition. (Which, of course, we got from Irish immigrants.) So everyone gets giggled at, just a bit. That's all.

[artvandelay13]

I love the little pseudo-dirty phrases they throw in like "shag pile bounce".... they make me giggle, though I'm not really sure why...

[Bardlettt]

or, "the deep shag that's really satisfying?"

[MattAttack1221]

aaciseric sucks

[a2m2a2z]

I love when Fry said "This is not America!!"

[buggaboo16]

"this is england not america whata re you talking about" lolz!!! i love hugh laurie!!!

[chrishowarth]

I love the subtle Anti-American theme throughout the whole sketch!

[geico1212]

haha the deep shag that really satisfies.. he looks like a vampire in the blonde hair

[flamered24]

Hallowe'en : All Hallows Evening- the night before all Saints Day.

The Celtic New Year is that time of year and you wear odd clothes to prevent the fairies playing tricks or planting curses on you. Brought to America by Irish Immigrants who would have practiced a tradition of wearing masks and costumes. In the 20th Century the costumes became those of superheroes and political figures and a holiday predominantly for children.

[mizzCici14]

Hugh with blond hair....wow lol. I laughed so hard when he snatched up that kid. Stephen's facial expressions make me crack up too.

I love these two

[artistictalent]

hahah when i was starting to watch this i was thinking But Halloween Is American Tradition Only...

Hahah i am glad i wasnt wrong!!

[MadMoparNut]

Halloween is a good deal older than America is...

[artistictalent]

Yeah, i know that true Hallow's Eve is MUCH older. I am just talking about the whole going house to house with a plastic pumpkin. The commercialized Halloween.

[MadMoparNut]

My apologies. I was assuming things again... lol

[Haannaahh92]

Yeah it may be an american tradition but kids all over Britain do it too :P

[chrishowarth]

Unfortunately British kids copy Americans : (

[InsaneFandom]

'The deep shag, that really satisfies'

XD

ahhh brilliant

[queenastilon]

I also love the Americanisms they emphasise

"... out back..." and "I'll GO fetch them" Hilarious.

[rhcp1lovethemgreat]

I definetly need a shag from Hugh Laurie!

[lucke001]

THIS IS ENGLAND NOT AMERICAAA !

brilliant!

[fregelover]

Can anyone understand what Fry says at 0:23?

He finishes the following sentence:

"I call him my partner in crime, but we don't actually commit crimes together ____."

The last thing he says in that sentence is obscured by laughter. What is he saying? It's driving me insane!

[philippuryear]

"I call him my partner in crime, but we don't actually commit crimes together of any kind."

[Slashx24]

I thought he said "anymore"

[salvadoranmate]

While they wait for the children to come at 0:53 what on Earth does Fry ask Laurie?.. I've gone over it a 1000 times and can't make it out..

[lolahughes]

It's "Nice carpet, Hugh. Tidyman's?" Hope this helps =)

[queenastilon]

It was a joke running through that week's edition: they said they were being sponsored by Tydemans Carpets, so they had to keep bringing that up.

[Psychochaos3]

I tried to do that, but unfortunately I actually live in America.

Long story short, let's just say thank god for tidyman's. The deep shag that really satisfies.

[654paloma456]

hahah love this "THIS IS ENGLAND NOT AMERICA" i love hugh laurie he is efin hot

[TheMajorWorks1324]

he has fat lips and fuzzy black hair. He also has white palms on his hands and eyes like cue balls. lol

[Lakrits16]

'Did you fancy Arsenal this year?'

'No way, I quite fancy my sister, though.'

It's so funny when Stephen says 'a bit of Fry and Laurie'. I love how he makes the airquotes. And the whole thing with Hugh being his partner in crime is very funny. :)

'This is England, not America! What are you talking about?!'

[CarlaBloo]

LMAO ! Much love to Stephen & Hugh ! Gotta get me that shag lol

[shmivv]

In Australia we have pretty much the same attitude towards Halloween. :D

[WearingSunglasses]

"This is not Americaaaaa!"

LOL love the way they pick - or should I say hurl the boys out of the way.

"The shag that really satisfies..." xD

[carmen510]

"THIS IS NOT AMERICA!!!" XDDDD

[daryl1q1]

'Do you fancy arsenal this year?'

'no way, I quite fancy my sister though'

Impossible to describe how funny that bit of dialogue is...

[cerati96]

What's the meaning of "fancing" someone?

[daryl1q1]

@cerati96 'fancing' means finding someone sexually attractive.

[cerati96]

How can you find a football team and your own sister sexually attractive???

[daryl1q1]

@cerati96 The word 'Fancy' has a double meaning in this line.

'Do you fancy Arsenal this year?' means 'do you think Arsenal will do well this year?'

Whereas in the 'fancy my sister' line, 'fancy' means finding someone hot, attractive etc.

Hope this helps

[cerati96]

I understand but how can you find your sister hot??? he's a fucking psycho!!!

[daryl1q1]

@cerati96 that's where the humour comes in. It's funny. The lighter side of incest. Look at Hugh's reaction. What's not to like?

[BurnedByTheFurnace3]

@cerati96 quite easy actually

[CasinoRoyaleFan]

0_0 I wanna trick or treat at their house...i can see it now...

*ding dong*

Me: trick or...holy crap you're hugh laurie and stephan fry!

Them: umm yup

Me: *snuggles*

Them: awe crap...

[UlaLuv]

he'd probably be a bit angry about you not knowing his name, though.

[queenastilon]

Hugh Laurie's name IS Hugh Laurie... what are you talking about??

I'd like a deep, satisfying shag from him AND Stephen Fry, actually.

[nitro4143]

Stephen Fry is Gay

[InsaneFandom]

his actuall first name is james, maybe thats what they meant?

:/

-shrug-

[hughlover15]

I love the part where hugh laurie picks the kid up, I repeat it so many times.

[arenabrains]

"The deep shag that really satisfies"

LOL

[samsooni7]

i would surely like to get one of that!hahaha

[TezMann]

cheers.. been looking for this for ages. love it!
