Laurie wearing that silly bandage all the time would automatically increase the hilarity of any sketch where they play "themselves" quite significantly.
I'm not saying that those sketches are less funny than other sketches, it's just that simply thinking of those ears and the bit of hair sticking out at the top actually makes me actually grin very widely indeed.
Stephen pulled up the guest for saying "actually" twice in the same sentence at the start of the clip, and then deliberately did the same thing at then end! Fry and Laurie must be reunited as soon as possible.
I wish they hadn't made that 4th series with the guests, it was pretty awful compared to the previous series's. Still can't help laughing at this sketch though.
Hugh laurie has come a long way since this show reinventing himself in the excellent TV series "House" He has also grown older very gracefully and actually looks better now then he did then. superficial I know but he did look gawky when he was younger whereas now he looks a nice looking bloke. He also does a great american accent as well as being a bloody good actor. Stephen fry..well fry is also turning into a TV legend
Please can we have Fry and Laurie back on in 2009? I'd love to see them working together again. Much as I'm addicted to House, Blackadder and certainly Fry and Laurie showed this magical chemistry between them.
Actually, this is actually ver funny... especially, when fry actually coughed out his lungs.... actually... particularly... the heck! I'm German! Gimme a break! Potzblitz.
I gotta say that I really dont think the guests particularly broke the flow of Stephen and Hughs dazzling comic museings, or particularly added to them in any amazing way. They just seem to be along for the ride, like we all are. They are mostly just their mates who come on anyway, like John Bird or Imelda Staunton...
I could agree on that ... the celebrity guests didn't add much in my opinion. And I know Hugh & Stephen have commented that it wasn't their idea to add guests, so I don't think they were entirely happy about it either. Still, they managed to do some hilarious stuff anyway that season.
Indeed, series 4 contained alot of very funny sketches, but the giest stars did not add anything to the show. I did like Phylida Law (Emma Thompson's mother): she was actually quite funny (a.o. the courtroom scene and the talkshow with Luella de la Twig).
I didn't think so. But of course I'm watching a clip and haven't seen the episode in its entirety, so I'm not certain if this was a running gag in the show. The clip is also titled "coughing fit" which allowed me a preconception of what I thought the clip would be about... but... whatever.
laurie looks like the agent from matrix

I just don't think the whole 'celebrity guest' thing was a very good idea. It just seems like it broke up the dynamic and fluidity.

Indeed, series 4 contained alot of very funny sketches, but the giest stars did not add anything to the show. I did like Phylida Law (Emma Thompson's mother): she was actually quite funny (a.o. the courtroom scene and the talkshow with Luella de la Twig).
