Wait a second... They are in Control's room!

[jeebateeba56]

Don't suck your thumb boy!

[rags015]

I cannot understand it..if this is poetry, then every lavatory wall in England is an anthology, what about the Oxford book of English verse? hmmm...Well, I suppose it's the toilet paper..Ha..Ha..Ha...

[STUDY577]

@rags015 lavatory paper=)

[MrFaramarzi]

i dont pretend to know much about poetry, im an english teacher not a homosexual

[PETRptAwyURsword]

There's nothing better than the way Stephen Fry says "Bowie".

[artswebshow]

These clips are awesome. major Tom

[IJustWatchEm71]

The "unhappy bubbles of anal wind" part is the best!

[fieldofhatsify]

fry wasn't making fun of gay people with that joke, though. he was making fun of the staunch status-quo based teacher's perspective of art and poetry and how he thinks they attribute to homosexuality. it's satirical towards close-minded people in positions of authotrity's perspective towards that particular sexual orientation.

[xxsangrealxx]

@fieldofhatsify Besides...Stephen Fry himself is homosexual :P

[fieldofhatsify]

@xxsangrealxx 'tis true. weird dude...was celibate until shortly after fry and laurie, right?

[xxsangrealxx]

@fieldofhatsify Yep. Been with the same guy until today.

[I4gotmyMANTRA]

What are you talking about you diseases boy?!?

Inked Ravens of Despair Claw Holes In The Arse Of The World's Mind

Scrotal threats unhorse a question of flowers. I asked for answers

and got a headful of heroin in return. When time fell wanking to the floor, they kicked his teeth in. My body disgusts, damp grease wafts sweat balls from sweat balls and thigh fungus. A girl strips in my mind, squeezes my last pumping drop of hope and rolls me over to sleep alone.

[vsey]

Fireball the dead cities of the mind and watch the skin peel and warp.

There are unhappy bubbles of anal wind popping and winking in the mortal bath. Assailed by doubts and wracked by fear, tossed in a wrecked mucus foam of steamed loathing. Snot trails of lust perforate the bowels of my intent. Put on your red shoes, Major Tom, funk to

flunky...

[theRealPlaidRabbit]

"Is that clever?"

"I don't know."

xD

[katzkor]

Oh, so long as we're all unhappy bubbles of anal wind popping and winking in the mortal bath, then it's perfectly alright?

[rainsiren]

"put on your red shoes, major tom"

[manicottimonster]

That actually is from "Derek" Bowie. :D

[capgemo]

Don't suck your thumb boy! xD

[slimdaddie]

lol i thought stephen was gay? love the gay joke!

[the333redwaster]

he is

[New087]

Gay people cant make gay jokes? :L

[GeminiAmbience]

Um, he is.

You don't think gay people don't make our own gay jokes?

Wake up. LOL

[merdufer]

i've been reading stephen's book on poetry "an ode less travelled". it's awesome.

[PrettyWittyNell]

Yes, I've read all of it. It was a great book!

[LitanyCrash]

So. Fucking. Funny. XDDD I love everything about Stephen Fry!!!!

[captross07]

The funny thing about this:

He says, "I'm an English Teacher, not a homosexual."

In real life, stephen fry is gay.

[mig11280]

i know. For some reason that made me gigle :D

[toReasonWhy]

"snot trails of nothing perforate the bowels of my intent" rofl

[SniffPeters]

"Is that clever?"

[misszooniverse]

'Explores?! Oh, it explores, does it?!'

'I suppose I am one of the "unhappy bubbles of anal wind, popping and winking in the mortal bath", am I? Oh, your silence tells me everything, I AM, I AM an unhappy bubble of anal wind!'

I laughed so much I was almost sick when I first saw this sketch...

[executus]

They're both brilliant, but in this sketch, Stephen fry is just so awesome. The hints of hysterical bewilderment in his speech is just so damn funny.

[lilibet316]

'what are you talking about you diseased boy' lol! Fry and Laurie are too funny :) x

[adi87tya]

I'm an English teacher, not a homosexual...lol, ironic coming from Fry. Love it when he makes fun of gay people like himself!

[whateverfloats]

Ha. Brilliant.

[c1212]

Unhappy bubble of anal wind. Too much!

[blackcat355]

Mr. Drip is the same name of the teacher Hugh has in the sketch where Fry gives information

[pandajenbway]

"I came to school to learn, and all I got was junk!"

YOU SAID IT, HUGH!!!

[Vertigo688]

"Inked ravens of despair claw holes in the arse of the world's mind". This is why I love British comedy.

[RequiemForADream412]

One second he calls him Derek Bowie and the next he's referring to his songs in his poem, too. =P

"Well, as long as we're all unhappy bubbles of anal wind..." Haha.

[LitanyCrash]

It's almost like he's saying 'Derek Bailey', who was a free-form improvisation guitarist XD

[PJHoutman]

Hm.

[drattigan91]

Sounds like you might be reading a bit too much into it but then again this is Fry and Laurie so it might have been an intentional reference.

[terrycream]

fry doth rule

[toured87]

NoTreally NoTreally No

[qpmomma]

"I'm an English teacher, not a homosexual." Really? Could have fooled me. ;-)

[darkblue1987]

oh and i forgot to mention (after looking back at this sketch) how awesome Stephen was. He and Hugh are both quite good at changing their voices...compare this voice of Stephen's to the one in the "some information please?" sketch. Fantastic!

[darkblue1987]

^ There are good and bad teachers everywhere in the world. Anyway, great sketch. I can relate to Hugh's character!

[darkblue1987]

That's probably the best sketch I've seen! It's funny but serious at the same time. I love poetry, and David Bowie, and Hugh and Stephen! Wonderful!

[Rosebud04]

I love how Stephen Fry says Heroin.

[Rosebud04]

I wonder if British teachers are really like this.

[KungfuCow5]

@Rosebud04 They are not. It is fiction.

[LittleNerd]

Hahaha classic. That's cheered me up! Ahhh how I love Mr Fry :) Fantastic Fry & Laurie.

[TSRule]

Bow-IE, Bow-IE!

[non2002]

I am unable to watch more than 40 secs of this video??? Help!!!

[mardy69]

Comic genius, the pair of em.

Ta!

[Hot4House]

I laugh sooo much every time i watch this. I see poetry in a whole new light now.

[Whistlechops]

Fry does unhinged characters as good as Cleese in Monty Python.My theory is they really are unhinged in life.Funny.

[hughlaurious]

You're 15 years old, Terry!

[sgp1]

this is excellentual.... this should be shown at christams... along with the 'pass the marmalade' sketch.... better than the Queens anal speech

[HMCgirl]

Best Quote: I can't pretend to be a judge of poetry, I'm an English teacher, not a homosexual.

Bwahah!!
