Actually, if you look below your comment, it still is there. Your misinterpretation of my tongue-in-cheek response to your bollocks shows you up as the idiot I suspected you to be.

Also, you're wrong about Fry and Laurie being unsurpassed. While both great actors, their writing has always been a bit shit.

havering3 if you're going to make a "clever" little comment I'd appreciate it if you took you're own petty advice and did it properly. I meant no offense. I just made a simple observation. Apparently I'm not the only one who thought you should have approached your criticism of me with a bit more tact, because your comment isn't here anymore."If you're going to be clever about comedy, do it properly."

I am such a huge Fry and Laurie fan, but this sketch I'm sad to say is not an original concept. The Two Ronnies did a sketch very similarly driven before our favourite duo, here. Some of you may know it, the Mastermind sketch from 1980 in which Ronnie Corbett chooses his specialist subject to be "Answering the question before last". Fry and Laurie are still genius though and everyone takes influence from predecessors in their field. Fry and Laurie in my opinion however are unsurpassed.
