  • I don't get it. Henry et uh?

  • @DoctorRainbow8321 He misheard it as "Henry et (ate) her"

  • your standing in my children right now!!great

  • I don't get the Henrietta joke :-/

  • @piaaguilos

    Henry ate here

    in many dialects ate is pronounced "et"

  • harry is as harry does

  • "Do you want me to try Sydney?"

    "STAY AWAKE PETER, HE'LL BE IN AUSTRALIA BY NOW."

    Brilliant. As is the whole sketch.

  • "You're standing in my children right now."

    "I . . . think I may have misheard that, John."

  • Oh that marjorie.

  • "Henrietta"

    "Did he?, I'm sorry to hear that." :)

  • Absolutely unique talents.

  • What? You've GOT to be kidding.

  • There are six million people out there.

    Really? What do they want?

  • What ? Drove through High Wykham?

  • Thats precisely what it means.. One I dont really get is where he says "I drove through.. the other day"

  • High Wycombe...a town of little consequence. Part of the humour of this series of sketches is that the characters are too big for their surroundings.

  • I love their linguistics! We have quite some humour like that in Germany, too. Quite some humour like that, too... what a phrase... sorry. :-) "sorry, I... do not... speak english." *coughs*

  • What other uk stuff like this do you enjoy?

  • Henrietta

    - Did he? I'm sorry to hear that?

  • it's understood as Henry-ate-her, i believe. Of course, explaining the joke totally blows it, it's better when you just hear it and get it, but anyway.... this is just what i think it means...

  • who had asked to explain it XD!! it's blantly obvious

  • Non-sence, satyre, linguistic twists... All concepts. And I can name more, cat, dog, car, black-jack, winnie...

  • dont you just love it......every last cliche in the book brilliantly delivered by the two of the best in the business.....great stuff

  • absolutely my fav chars of these two, so glad this is posted!! thanks!

  • the way they come up with is it because most of it is adlibbed

  • 'Hurts like hell on a jet seat Peter...'

    'Your wrong Peter...oh so wrong...your standing in my children right now...'

    Brilliant! Gotta love the early boardroom antics. Hadn't even got the catchphrase 'damn it!' yet. Funny how, in the early ones, they recogniseably get more pissed as the sketch goes on. In later episodes their drinking hardly seems to have any effect at all! Barring the obvious of course...

  • hugh looks so cute one the first clip..

    "sorry,i..do not..speak english.." haha

    adorable!

  • "I've never been Nancy, John"

  • "Henrietta." - "Did he, did he? I'm sorry to hear that." ROFL xDxDxD

    How do they come up with something like this?

  • I love that line! Cracks me up everytime!

  • Yeah, it's my favourite line in this sketch too. Genius.

  • "There are 6 million people out there..."

    "Really? What do they want?"

    Classic.

  • -"What's she arrrfffterrr?

    -"How did you manage to keep nancy for so long?" "I've never been nancy, John." "Your wife, Peter."

    Sooooo good!

  • yay damn!!!which seires is this from?

  • series one, i wrote it on the summary lol

  • HAHA "I've never been nancy, John ..."

  • "Shall I try Sydney?"

    "STAY AWAKE PETER HE'LL BE IN AUSTRALIA BY NOW!"

  • The Board Room And The Bedroom Are Just Two Sides Of The Same Agenda!!! love it

  • I always laugh at

    "Call O'Neil, get him to postpone the meeting."

    "What should I tell him?"

    "Tell him any damn thing you like, just buy me some time!"

  • Yes. God, that sketch is relentlessly funny. Loads of laugh-out-loud moments. When was the last time a British TV comedy was as good as this? Depressing, actually.

  • Was Hugh Laurie suppose to fall?

  • I asked that myself, too! If you find it out, tell me so!

  • It didn't look like it, he himself looked very odd at that moment.

  • 'Marjorie? Jeeeesus Peter, Marjorie's just a kid!'

  • Damn good

  • Excellent. At last someone has posted what is arguably F&L's best creation. Many thanks. The 2nd school I went to was about 3 miles from Uttoxeter. Cool, eh? Not really, it's a shithole.

  • this is billiant..i really miss the fry & laurie duo...too bad they're both so busy with different projects
