A bit of Fry and Laurie - it's the name of TV series Hugh Laurie (of recent House MD fame) and Stephen Fry did in UK in, I think, 70s-80s.

It has a lot of masterfuly done sketches - both guys were (and are) true, top-class actors and it shows even when they are essentialy fooling around!

That speech reminds me of Sarah Palin's interview with Katie Couric. XD

[weirdloopyloo]

"the young and hip-trendy", is a phrase I feel should from now on be used in national newspapers in place of "hoodies"...no reason I just think it's funnier

that look of intense distaste on hugh's face when the sketch starts. smiling through a grimace, perfect

@VinewoodSniper Except Sarah Palin was comedy and this is real. Oh wait...

@adi87tya Nope, over here they're also regarded as moneyhungry toffs who will bang on about traditions and values to whip up an army of affluent middle-class supporters so that they can manipulate the British political system into giving them and their elite friends what they want - an entirely privatised society in which the businessman can abuse anything and anyone he wants with all the freedom he could ever ask for in order to line his own pockets with the people's money.

@Guzzen1 i think you missed the point of the sketch hahaha

[koratvinnie]

@listerone No. Their talent made their "weath" possible.

[upstatelugh]

Some things never change huh? LMFAO and I encourage you all to point at Tories, laugh very loudly at them everywhere you see them, ridicule them, alienate them from the rest of decent and forward thinking society. They are vermin.

Messrs Fry and Laurie have caught their characteristics and pathetic throwback politics superbly in this sketch. Well played lads ;-) ...

[listerone]

Two obscenely rich "progressives"...or,as the Brits would say "proud members of "Militant Tendency".....who simply won't acknowledge who made their weath possible in the first place....Margaret Thatcher.

@adi87tya lol conservatives are a lot alike everywhere, all tradition worshiping culture fanatics, "we dun like change.. change is baad" programmed idiots, whether they are in the U.S UK or in Saudi Arabia it wouldn't surprise me one bit how much they have incommon, we should just ship them all together to the right hemisphere of the earth and get over with.
