A Bit of Fry and Laurie - Old Fashion Tea

[aimeefran]

I got excited when I saw Hugh in the swimming pool...

[SheepAteMyFanBoys]

Oh my god, Imelda Staunton is so small next to Hugh Laurie

[xcgirl105]

OH MY ROWLING!!!!! wtf is umbridge doing here????

[popifar]

dolores umbridge? this is just as wierd as seeing house being his real british self

[aimeefran]

@popifar Do you mean, Hugh Laurie (who happens to play House) being Hugh Laurie. :)

[TaylerIsAComedyFan]

Imelda is just 5" I read somewhere :) She's adorably tiny!

[WieDurchZauber]

UMBRIDGE!!!

[MrPabloMartinI]

"With the pace of modern life being what it it is, it's somehow hard, isn't it? to make for the simple things, like masturbation." hahahaha hilarious!!!!!! =D

[specialfaiths]

I like to think this is what Umbridge was doing before the Ministry of Magic.

[IoEstasCedonta]

That is not even close to two meters.

[dom272]

Stephen sounds like Peter Cooke at the end

[GSBConstantine]

[KetOoKa889]

-3 Stephen Fry's little smile at the end...very drole. :)

[thechaos44]

Ah, 00:30 "floating voter" I can't believe it took me THAT long to put two and two together.. blimey.

[tehredmage]

I just found the idea that Hugh was able to go to Carlyle and back in a few seconds freaking hilarious.

[mrsilovemikeyway]

hugh in that swimming outft can save me any day if i ever start drowning

[Take5Teen21]

It's Dolores umbridge, this show just gets better and better!!!!!!

[LaurawrMarmite]

I must not tell lies.

[lucasbastos10]

isn't she, the tea maker woman, Rony Weasley's mother?

lool

[BringBeckaTheHorizon]

@lucasbastos10 It's Imelda Staunton, Dolores Umbridge ;D Molly Weasley is Julie Walters :)

[feuilletoniste]

Imelda Staunton so young and pretty!



[theblackparade1039]

Mrs. Umbridge!!!

[lucasbastos10]

@theblackparade1039 i thought so!

[CapitaineJolie]

Gawd, she's tiny. Also, fabulous. I hadn't seen her in anything but "Harry Potter" until this sketch, but I think I'll have a look around YouTube for more of Imelda.

[iamoneilly]

personally, I enjoy the 4th series just as much as I enjoy 1,2 and 3.

[lordhaku]

There's something incredibly sexy about Imelda Staunton's voice. Groiningly shiversome.

[44371213]

omg umbridge! I have seen her in other things before you know. Isn't that interesting?

[al28283]

@44371213 seeing quite a famous actress in more than one thing? amazing

[44371213]

@al28283 Just my thoughts precisely.

[DeathSlayer2]

I've been watching these sketches for about 3 hours straight and this is the first one that didn't have me in stitches.

[Siegfreud]

Mrs. Mead from Little Britain.

[stewux]

I love Fry and Laurie, but I really didn't like this last series, some of it was embarrassingly bad. It's as if they completely ran out of ideas.

[zfinet3]

it was still funny, but the thing i didn't like was all of the guests. they weren't funny.

[CF1975]

There were actually a lot of good sketches in the last series, but most of the guest actors ruined a lot. Some of them were good (I personally liked Phylida Law, Emma Thompson's mother), but some were horrifying terrible.

Imelda Staunton and Hugh Laurie always seem to have good chemistry together, as we see here, but for example also in the excellent movie 'Peter's Friends'.

[artvandelay13]

yet another good funny good entertaining good clever funny good funny good sketch....

[VenusInRetrograde]

Warming not hotting.

P.S. Hugh in swimming trunks = WIN!

[Haannaahh92]

is that Proffessor Umbridge? woww

[plethora666]

No, that is someone we like to call "Imelda Staunton". We call her that because that is her name. Dolores Umbridge does not actually exist.

[Haannaahh92]

hurrhurrhurr.

don't burst my bubble alright? 'cause i actually thought she existed.

[PurushaDesa]

One should also note that she's been a - as kids say today - [flex index fingers] "totally awesome bee-yatch", long before the immaculate conception of Harry Potter.

[Haannaahh92]

I see. thanks for sharing

[PurushaDesa]

I'm a giver.

[PaintGuru24]

@plethora666 ... yeah she does...

[sheepnote]

@plethora666 YOU LIE!

[andiar]

i hope stephen fry doesn't end up as peter cook to hugh laurie's dudley moore. he deserves better.

[SirRobin126]

They look so young.

[UmbridgeinTraining]

Imelda Staunton is really silly!

[schweitzer006325]

Imelda Staunton and Hugh Laurie! Ah, good times...the last time I saw them act together was as Mr and Mrs Palmer in Sense and Sensibility.

[seabury]

Imelda Staunton win!

[m0eb1us00]

Expect the Control & Tony edisodes, this was by far the funniest ABOFAL sketches I've seen this far! Hilarious all the way through!

[callpolice999]

love stephen's hairstyle right at the end. makes him look like a schoolboy.

[twilightxmidna]

is tht her that plays Umbrifge in Harry Potter 5? canny mind her name

[zodiacflames]

yes, it's Imelda Staunton

[artvandelay13]

lol 0:20

[JuuhachigouSama]

Oh man, that blonde at the end... HAWT.

[gowin15]

the blonde hugh is soooooooo sexy :P

[rdgloveshouse]

Imagine how short Imelda would look standing next to David Walliams!

[xxaoife]

holy christ on a crutch, it's Umbridge! :D

[ChrisvonLuckner]

I loved watching "ABOFAL" every friday night on BBC Prime in the 90s... miss it a lot, it's classic.

[thatdrattedcat]

Has anyone seen Peter's Friends? They play a married couple there... as well as in the darling Sense and Sensibility

[gradgurl2007]

Notice, it's like a reverse of their roles in "Sense and Sensbility!" He's the dumb one and she's sarcastic!

[XxNoEl4EvErxX]

hugh laurie swimming...WHY IS THAT SO ATTRACTIVE ???!!!X

[ShadowOdyssey]

Because Hugh Laurie is always attractive. 8D

Him...and his long, pretty legs. 8DDDD

[neddymuldoon]

oh, well...maybe because he's HALF-NAKED and WET?!

[homeric85]

LOL! I loved this. "Hot, but warm, not cold, hot, fresh, warm, not hotting tea". LMAO!

[hilsongirl]

These two have awesome chemistry.

[KremlinH]

Holy Shit that's Umbridge!

[chibicurmudgeon]

Good fresh hot fresh good hot...I lol'd.

[DontTouchMyTea]

She's so small next to Laurie, and yet he's the short one in the "A Bit Of Fry And Laurie" duo.

Hugh has to be the tallest short guy on earth.

[I4gotmyMANTRA]

@DontTouchMyTea I know.  always sort of wondered why Laurie seemed tall on House and sort of normal/short-ish of ABOFAL. And then I realized Stephen is just SUPER tall. :)

[lennic95]

@DontTouchMyTea Well no he can't be...Stephen is taller than Hugh :)

[Marchof31Days]

@DontTouchMyTea He's about 6"1 I think.

[negooog]

@Marchof31Days more than 6,2 but less than 6.3

[Marchof31Days]

@negooog 6 2 and a half? :P

[towneslives]

@DontTouchMyTea

Hugh's about 6 foot 3 but Stephen's 6'5". She's perfectly tiny.

[BiscuitBandGeek]

I love Imelda Staunton! She's just amazing! this is an awesome clip... love it.

[procrastinating2007]

is that umbridge from the th harry potter movie?... god im a geek

[geetarlover]

You'd be more of a geek if you knew that she's been in other movies.

[faustitasia]

What was the one she was in a few years back, that she was Oscar-nominated for? The one about the... oh, it'll come to me. Vera Drake. That's it.

[bemoreunique]

Hugh looks like a giant standing next to her

[LizetM]

Haha, House and Umbridge, my two fav. fandoms collied. XD

Hugh in the pool = YUMMY! XD

[geetarlover]

Totally yummy. =P

[curlsue24]

Imelda should be a guest star on House.

[LizetM]

Haha! Yes, I totally agree! And she should be someone who like totally can shut House up ... IDK, she's just a great actress. :D

[CissieColpitts]

Hugh in the swimming pool... yummy !

[LEAKB9]

lol

[nakulkr]

Isn't that Imelda Staunton!

[TSRule]

Yup!

[KAT65]

They worked with her in the movie Peter's Friends. She played Hugh's wife.

[shows82]

also in sense and sensibility;)

[wickedfeylady]

Lucky her!
