Hugh LAurie -Stephen Fry Piano MAsterclass

[OmegaRFox]

5:47 is that Punt and Dennis?

[jdobo]

Does anyone know in what show did they show this clip to Stephen Fry, just recently, I think?

[blueberryicedtea]

If you're not loose in the knee, you might as well not be here.

[KillJoy521]

Is it just me or... is Stephen dressed exactly like the Doctor?

[Fanhouse07]

@KillJoy521 That's more like, The Doctor is dressed like Stephen XD

[gabumonfanclubx]

Love the innuendos

[Joshfan27]

My favorite part of the sketch is Stephen singing(:

[MrOlivertucker]

PLAY IT BITCH XD

[punkboy06]

At 1:18 thats how House got his limp :P

[wolby2010]

hello , good evening gd evenin gd evenin gd evenin

[MrShnoxdog]

WHO SAYS STEPHEN CAN'T SING?!?!

[stevolution666]

harry and paul there too

[MissBJinx]

Oh, what would I give to recieve my piano masterclass lessons from Fry and Laurie..

And to dance with such understated style :D

[GrandiaKnight]

Fry to play the next doctor who! Thumbs up if you agree!

[DeepSnowBand]

@GrandiaKnight Great idea. Either Hugh or Stephen would be great in the role! I don't like Matt Smith all that much.

[xColbert]

i am the only one who would choose laurie over fry???

[TVMoviesChannel]

Hugh's extremely frothy laughing always gets me XDDD These 2 guys are brilliant!

[DaBigCheeseLuigi]

Anyone else read Stephen's autobiography, when he talks about how terrified he was of doing this? And how he went to see a hypnotist to calm his nerves?

[schizo123]

@DaBigCheeseLuigi

funny how poeple often remember things quite differently - in the book he says that it's hugh laurie delivering the cue sentence "hit it bitch", but actually he says it himself and it's "play it bitch". he even remembers telling him not to alter the line so the hypnosis would work. clearly, he has been trying to block out his memory of that night ;)

[Xmaza69]

two girls one cup theme anyone?...

[liesymaeys]

@Xmaza69 you might've seen that a bit too much if you recognize the soundtrack xd

[Xmaza69]

@liesymaeys yeah, but tbh any amount of times is too much!!

[Egide0]

House before he became evil

[GrimSqueaker03]

Oh, this was the part Stephen had gone to a hypnotist to be able to do, otherwise he'd have been paralyzed with fear. It turned out amazing!

[darkcecee]

You can see Stephen Fry hating his part ;) priceless

[CF1975]

This whole video has me in tears with laughter everytime I see it, especially Hugh's 'frothy' attitude towards the keyboard (2:48).

[colotron]

Was that The Proclaimers playing in the back? hahahah!

[OlegKRoX]

I can see Mr. Fry's fear when he's doing it. A very embarrassed childish facial expression... as if he was only 9. But it turned out so good that I occasionally lift my mood with it.

[CaptMARNEY]

1:17 God, Hugh falls over like a boss.

[sped0011]

"I said play it, bitch."

[r7fronz]

ben elton looks like a twat



[mjmegaplay]

Oh man, will you have a look at Hugh Laurie? He's so damn young... not even a wrinkle. Damn. He looks better now than then.

[CannedSalmonMousse]

In his second autobiography, he said he was hypnotised so that when he said the line 'Play it, bitch,' he would be able to sing and dance, because he wouldn't have done it otherwise

[weirdlightsaber44]

@CannedSalmonMousse He doesn't look entirely there now you mention it...

[amahon22]

how can he be "dressed as mat smith" this is in the 1980's...

[amahon22]

how can he be "dressed as matt smith" this was in the 80's.....

[livstar93]

@amahon22 its a joke.... cuz on doctor who, matt smith dresses in almost the exact same outfit....

[007MrYang]

20 people are not loose of the knee

[Thereisonlythemoment]

Watching this you would never guess Stephen has an aversion to singing and dancing, absolutely ended myself laughing, especially loved it when Hugh put his hands between Stephens legs lol

[sk8rocgirl]

OMG MATT SMITH REGENERATES INTO STEPHEN FRY!

[ThePag09]

@sk8rocgirl I was thinking EXACTLY the same thing! :D

[sk8rocgirl]

@ThePag09 cool :) i hope his next regenerations is laurie!

[mortensjoegren]

@sk8rocgirl Actually that would be extremely cool, Stephen Fry as the Doctor.

[picklesooz]

thats fucking hilarious on so many levels



[oodsong]

Why is Stephen dressed like the Eleventh Doctor?

[kittykitty1987]

@oodsong because bowties are cool.

[kryl0b]

@oodsong is he dressed as the 11th doctor..... or is the 11th doctor dressed like him?

[TheHumanThatMoos]

Hugh: "the lid is locked."

Stephen: "what?"

Hugh: "The lid is locked."

Stephen: "...."

Hugh: "Shit." lol

[D3ltra]

Ruddy hell its harry and paul!!

[ThePag09]

@D3ltra No.

[odysse14]

hugh..hugh..i said we don't want any stiffness lmao :D

[Fortevn]

I think in one of "A bit of Fry and Laurie" Stephen played piano quite well. The one when Hugh as a drunkard trying to sing "Stranger in the night".

[depplaurie]

Stephen Fry is hopeless at singing and yet those 2 could make a brilliant concert

[tango616]

the lid is locked..............shit.

[TheAverageFox]

I'm always so worried for Stephen when he has to do anything musical. I hate to think he hated it too much.

[lotsabots]

Absolutely hilarious.

[MrBen51309]

I like it how they say the song's in the key of A but it's actually in the key of C.

[Mohaukseven]

@MrBen51309 There's a 'c/see' joke in their somewhere, isn't there. As in 'What key is it in?' 'A'. 'I said, what key is it in?' 'A!' 'I said, what-' 'I mean, it's in the key of A, see?' 'No, not C. Not C at all!' 'You don't see?' 'A. See?' etc etc. Missed a trick there, boys!

[hollowheadthe6]

Matt Smiths 'Doctor' outfit must be based on Stephens clothes in this =D

[eimead]

Is the backing guitarist on the left Paul Whitehouse? at 5:47 there's a short close up, I'm 90% sure it's him. anyone know?

[cuchulainn187]

@eimead Whitehouse AND Harry Enfield (with glasses)

[eimead]

@cuchulainn187 yeah... fuck, a golden age of likeable, intelligent comedy... what did we do to deserve james cordin?

[cuchulainn187]

@eimead Honestly? I think the slow but constant Americanisation of UK TV has seen the standards of the British viewer drop. They don't want to think about a joke anymore it needs to be as loud & as obvious as possible...British comedy is the finest in the world and this is coming from an Irishman.

[toophou]

Anyone know the song Hugh played at the beginning?

[shylohuzumaki]

"Put them between the legs and rub warmer." -sticks in Fry's legs- "You're own legs!"

[toppaz79]

In his book doesn't he say that his cue to sing is Hugh saying 'Hit it Bitch' ?...... If I remember rightly he even says he has a conversation with Hugh emphasising the need to use those exact words incase the hypnosis doesn't kick in..... Confusing!

[GravyWader]

moab is my wash pot did NOT mention the thrusting :S

[RoxasGF]

LOL I love these two ^^

You can't beat a good of British comedy!

[gertiebeetle89]

Hugh Laurie's shirt is truly hideous :)

[okee9]

Is that Paul Whitehouse at 5:46 with the orangish guitar

[ChiltonTurbo]

@okee9 Thats what I was thinking and the other guy on the left, looks like Harry Enfield. Can anyone clarify?

[fillip27]

@ChiltonTurbo tis indeed

[LoveSmerch]

Well, Hugh. I don't care if you're rather tired ;)

"I said we don't need any stiffness" :D

If I ever meet Stephen Fry, I will say "Play it bitch!", just to see if the hypnotist did his job right.

[mrpossibilities]

Stephen Fry actually looks like Andre Previn

[goldfishpaste]

17 people were too aroused by Stephen Fry to hit the like button

[Karepear]

Indeed it did, indeed it did. And indeed he does say - 'play it bitch' - it is Stephen that gives Hugh the cue rather than High cueing Stephen as it appears in the book. Well, it was over 20 years ago, so either there's a misremembering OR there was another time he had to sing on SNL. I think the former, dear Mostyn!

[Etokichan]

I said play it, bitch! Hahaha!

[kiaandketa]

god stephen fry sounds like my music teacher lol i LOVE his dancing, he should teach a class lol

[HarryIsTheGamingGeek]

Why did the guy not capitalize the "y" in the description. Just, fail.

[MrRenesmee75]

I wish we had this kind of television series in France. Fry and Laurie are brilliant.

[squishy3000]

Look at Stephen's legs go! Holy moses!

[Karepear]

I think this might have been the sketch that required Stephen Fry attend a hypnotist beforehand, such was his fear of singing on stage, as detailed in his latest autobiography, The Fry Chronicles...

[044orange044]

@Karepear It might... but didn't that story involve Hugh saying "bitch" as the keyword?

[mrsladida]

I am in love with both of them ;pp -3

[thrumymind]

hitch, hitch, hitch!

[oreosboy]

tap 5 rapidly to hear the windows error sound... or tap 4 to see hugh (not house) have a seisure :P

[joshaf26]

"Where is the lid? Where is the lid? Where is the, where is the, where is the lid?"

"It's on top of the piano, Hugh, that's why you're not able to touch any of the keys."

[annaChii]

"YOUR legs, i said we don't want any stiffness"

when I stop laughing... I'll have a real comment

[klanganke]

whats with stephens legs????

[chrisfass]

Stephen Fry appears to be dressed as Matt Smith

[Kaladelia]

@chrisfass oh dear god your right!!!!! mebbe matt smith is trying to imitate him... :)

[luckyold317]

@chrisfass No, Matt Smith is simply dressed as the True Doctor.

[movieluvr69]

@chrisfass no matt smith dresses like stephen fry.....because stephen fry makes bow ties cool.

[Funnygirl335]

@chrisfass or Matt smith appears to dressed as Stephen Fry :P x

[reVSilverspine]

@chrisfass bow ties are cool.

[missgracegallagher]

Stephen had to get a hypnotherapist to get through this, such is his fear of performing musically. He talks about it in his first autobiography. The hypnotherapist made it so that when he heard the word 'Bitch' he would be filled with confidence so that he'd be able to perfrom. 

[grl008]

@missgracegallagher seriously?

[crzymetal666]

This is funny as hell!! Hugh Laurie is so damn funny

[Emzo99]

I said we don't want stiffness! :L Genius

[LuckyKittyable]

HUGH LAURIE IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! HE MAY HAVE BEEN A NERD BUT HE IS ABSOLUTELY AN AWSM NERD!!!! XD LUV U HUGH LAURIE!!!!

[thephish801]

The lid is locked...SHIT!

[igottowatch]

Stephen is.. Dancing.. AND singing?!! Oh Mr. Fry, we all know how much you hate it, but your sooo good at it!! =)

[LeftyHandedGuns]

OK, that's it, "Play it, bitch!" is going to be written on my tombstone many years from now.

That's the only logical option.

[ElianaDaizee]

scary laugh.................

[Ebbs1204]

Woahhhh, Stephen and Hugh look so young here!

[pinkyellowblackred]

OMG

is that a very young mark lamarr at the begging

[Jez32uk]

@pinkyellowblackred no its some prick in a sparkly suit who ruined musical theatre

[JankeyL]

omg hilarious

[ImANerdYoureAnAss]

His legs look fake XD I said play it bitch! Best thing he's EVER said!

[blackjelka]

JESUS, PURE GENIUS!!!

[AshTheGaffer01]

Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse as backing singers? Epic!

[kafata1]

I want you to play for me now exactly as you made love last night

*plays fast and short* xD

[kafata1]

I hate how so many people don't know this side if Hugh =)

[lurveBillKaulitzfan]

hahahahah :D

[blahfox]

Apparently Stephen had to see a hypnotist to help him overcome his fear of singing in public for this sketch, otherwise they would have had to cut it.

I'm so glad he decided to have the therapy. This is pure comedy gold!

[JulietBeyondGoth]

"I said 'play it', bitch!" xD And damn, Stephen's dance gave me nightmares for next two moths, but eh, whatever.

[olddeuteronomy]

@JulietBeyondGoth Apparently, he really, really hates dancing XD

[5dee4]

I just love every thing about him!

[Luarrangel]

Hugh should leave House.It's ridiculous now!!!

[bigegosorry13]

"We don't want any stiffness"

HAHAHAHAHA

[thomasimon]

Is that Greg Poops at 5:48?

[kinggimped]

Ben Elton needs to calm the fuck down.

[malarbusto]

@kinggimped Slight correction: needed to. Never did though.

[iownagreyhound]

o christ it was painul watching him smash that guitar

but not painful enough to keep me from mass amounts of laughing :)

these two never fail to slay me

[FutureHyperion]

Omg, my piano teacher was exactly like that!!! It's why I no longer play piano in an institute. I play better on my own without someone harassing me all the time while I play.

[TwilightPanther]

That was so funny not only did I cry I was in physical pain.

[Squeeonline]

Crystal swing copied the "dance" at 5:20. The Hucklebuck. How awful!

[VeramailsMJ]

jajajajjaja play it bitch

[theclinger]

Fry telling Laurie how to play the piano = :D

[WaterBottle962]

Hahaha, Fry suck at the piano playing ^^

[mdincaa3]

I said play it, BITCH.

[SiriusPunk]

'I said play it BITCH'

xD stephen fry - what a legend.

xx

[BartBassist]

Stephen Fry is terrified of singing in public, and had to go through hypnosis to do this sketch. The only public singing performance he has ever given, apparently. It appears in his autobiography, Moab is my Washpot.

[bemoreunique]

@BartBassist Yes, I remember this. Pretty incredible that it worked so well. Great autobio, btw, for people who are interested in knowing more about this magnificent man....

[08jansmc]

@BartBassist I've bought this book recently and have just passed that part yesterday, hence why I'm here watching it yet again now. I have a whole new level of respect for Stephen Fry, piled upon the already monstrous amount of fondness and respect that I had in the first place.

[svuandbonesfanatic]

"the lid is locked"

"shit"

"not to worry, uh use your initiative, improvise, look around you. What do you see?"

"a locked piano"

[00patrik]

hahaha...the truth of dr. house

[BassClar]

That sketch gets better every time I watch it!

[jacksawild]

Fry and Laurie at their pure best. I don't think Stephen's voice is monotonous, just unpracticed. National fucking treasure. Laurie is awesome too, I just hope he gets out of House before it gets too ridiculous. It was good when they were going for the Sherlock Holmes thing, now it's all about psychotherapy. Gotta get paid, I s'pose.

[nahatsu2]

OMG.... 'nother one I had not seen . . . this is just priceless!!

I will laugh forever more . . .

(((smiles)))

[machangula]

Fry can sure dance!

[baibaii]

Who the hell dislikes this?:O

[kinkajoes]

@baibaii how many times I wonder that ...

[drgregsgurl]

1:19 Stephen just loves to make Hugh fall over, doesn't he?

[brokenxstitches]

LOL omg this is so funny

[Weetikveelwelkenaam]

Truly the lord of dance! :D

[happeningfish77]

"play it, bitch!"

it's the hungarian hypnotist!

[SmileyFace6796]

haven't seen this in ages and i had forgotten how it ended..... LOL look at stephen go... that is probably the only time he sang aswell .... LOL

[monson2008]

A BIT TOO RACY FOR ME.

[I4gotmyMANTRA]

@monson2008

What show have you been watching? : )

[tintinmustdie]

I said play it Bitch!!!

[SamDLite]

Just LOVE Stephen's pelvic thrust....so.....disturbingly, lecherously, semi-erotic LOL

[LeftyHandedGuns]

@SamDLite Only "semi"? ;)

[soaresnezinha]

Hugh is so sexy and talented.England should be proud of him! Fry is also great and i hope to see these 2 working together again!!

[ScrantonicityRadio]

What key is that in? A. I said what key is that in? A! These guys are comic geniuses.

[I4gotmyMANTRA]

@ScrantonicityRadio

It kind of reminds me of a gag Stephen did in his Dracula monologue. "'What blood type are you?', He said. 'A.' 'I said what blood type are you?' 'O,' I said, 'B.'

[kumquatium]

Stephen Fry, singing! Oh my. He never sings and in fact can't. I think this must be the time when he went to a hypnotist. This is so fantastic.

[kumquatium]

Stepehn Fry, singing! Oh my. He never sings and in fact can't. I think this must be the time when he went to a hypnotist. This is so fantastic.

[kumquatium]

*Stephen

[I4gotmyMANTRA]

Hugh Laurie: Stephen Fry's Bitch

X)

[I4gotmyMANTRA]

1:18

Amazing prat-fall. :)

[minglejingle]

brilliant!

[Legomygrego16]

wow hes young there

[neomp5]

he appears to be backed up by 3 clones of jj abrams.

[InqHand]

This is the only time that Stephen Fry sang isn't it? He talks about it in his autobiography, apparently he used hypnosis to get over his inability to sing but it only worked for that song (with the "Play it, bitch!")

[maniakbill]

Yeah i think so, made me laugh when he talked about having to explain to the hypnotist that the cue phrase was "Play it bitch"

Shame he could only ever do it that time though.

[I4gotmyMANTRA]

@maniakbill

that. is. amazing. X)

[marginallymental]

Wow. Several things come to mind. 1. Piano masterclasses can be almost this bad. And 2. Hugh Laurie definitely grew into his looks, didn't he?

[XYZandTime]

Izzat Costello?

[ZarabethS179]

That shirt unto itself is comedy genius.

[vesperlovett]

hahahaha! omg! loved it so much :')

[MercuryMay94]

Hahaha xD Fry and Laurie ROCKS!

[LittleRose547]

LOL! Loved the ending to Stephen's song! Haha

[floppetylove]

his legs appear to be...remote controlled XD

[katelynna10000]

Stephen picked up that microphone I I screamed "OH MY GODS STEPHEN'S GONNA SING' really loudly...any my upstairs neighbors probably think I'm more than a little crazy. I never knew he could move like that! O.o

I love Hugh....he's so cute, playing his classical music and Steven's all 'PLAY IT

BITCH'

I also read 'play like you made love last night' out of context..and took it very wrongly (I'm a fryxlaurie slash fan- 'specially Jeeves and Wooster!)
