Comedy aside, their acting is SO. GOOD. Just their body language and mannerisms, especially Hugh Laurie, they completely become the characters so that it seems totally natural even when they're women. The mousiness of the guy who "did pot, once" or the poorly concealed embarrassment of the wine merchant - if I didn't know their faces and met them on the street like this I would be completely fooled.
@@elenapanova4809 It's not popular belief, women generally speak in a significantly higher pitched voice than men do - just statistics and science and biology.

@@elenapanova4809 Wow, you say something wrong and in a confident way as if it's a fact and accuse someone of mansplaining when he corrects you. I guess it's quite a handy tool in debates. I'll use something like that next time.
@Teamgeist wow this was a blast from the past! i just got your notification! i dont even remember watching or making this comment. Its been a while since i was into this show
If anyone's wondering what the hell Stephen is saying at 3:05, he's quoting the Count of Monte-Cristo: "Un papier plié en quatre tomba de la poitrine d'Edouard. Villefort, foudroyé, se laissa aller sur ses genoux ; l'enfant s'échappa de ses bras inertes et roula du côté de sa mère."
Thank you, I appreciate that my comment inspired you to pause your quest to police the maintaing of high commenting standards on RUclips to write a long comment on how little you care about mine. Well done on informing us that you yourself are unable to provide any interesting additional information!
Anouk de Vries - "A paper folded in four fell from Edouard's chest. Villefort, thunderstruck, let himself go on his knees; the child escaped from his inert arms and rolled to his mother's."
The wine merchant joke (2:27) is especially hilarious given that there was actually a scientific study conducted on enology undergrads (ie people studying wine science) and many had trouble distinguishing red and white wine
I'm not surprised. Wine experts go on about it tasting of new mown hay, macadamia nuts, shoe polish or Leprechaun's bath water, but never seem to notice that it tastes of fermented grape juice.
@@hallonsylt6729 Supposedly they taste different. Of course any pair of wines will taste different, but reds are supposed to have different shared qualities than whites overall. And yet nonetheless even the experts struggle to tell.
1:48 "Well, you see, it's a sensitive area isn't it, it's a very sensitive area... so that's why I very rarely rub it" Haha, I love that one... I will try to use that if I ever get the chance :D
Love all of this especially young people only being attracted to church by leather and bondage films, but they’re generally Young Conservatives ! Never owned a piano but had a photograph of one on my wall, but then the neighbours complained ! The kinkiness about loving polythene over your face is so funny too !!!
That first sketch, with Laurie in those light blue denim jacket and T-shirt, was the beginning of his transition to the pain medication addict we now know as Gregory House
I was very shocked when my son told me his boyfriend was homosexual... How excellent.The way he pronounces homosexual! And Hugh's policeman reminds me of the pair of stupid policemen in The Young Ones.
At 4:35: "These are turkey legs... you'd be surprised how versatile they are!" - this short pause felt like eternity when I watched this skit for the first time, because I thought "no, you're not going to say next what I think you're going to say next, ARE YOU?!" - and then of course he did. But at least I saw it coming earlier than the studio audience...
The French bit translates to: "A paper folded in fourths fell from her right breast, Villefort, you'll need on- to go on your knees, the baby got out of her sling and rolled next to her mother."
"Oh, these? Bernard Mathews Golden Turkey Drummers, their very versatile..... i have one in right now." Never have i laughed so hard while being utterly disgusted.
Very funny stuff.. But why do most of the posters on here seem to think that there's a test to quote in writing one of the interview bits they've just heard?.. Just wondering, btw.. Like I say, its very funny.. to listen to and see.. as performed by the comics themselves!!
He wanted to become one, in Hong Kong, when he was 16. Dropped the plan and went to Cambridge University, where he met Stephen Fry. Thank you guardian Angles, good job!
When I think British., there are three people that pop in mind right away. The Queen, Prince Charles and Stephen Fry... if not, then it'll be Rowan Atkinson.
Развлечения
the reason why I love stephen fry so much is because of how dirty his jokes can be while having such a distinguished smart voice
Fry and Laurie are the funniest humans in existence
''This is one of them hidden camera things, is it? ... No? Oh, well I was gonna say, it's not very well hidden is it?''
that one got me

They said in their reunion special that these Vox Pops were mostly improv. They came up with these off the top of their heads!!
"I was very shocked when my son told me his boyfriend was homosexual."
Ahahhaa genius.
“Hommoh-secksuwall!”
The perfect conservative comment that one is! 😅
I like how they manage to do completely convincing women without even changing their voices
Because they found out that, contrary to popular belief, women normally DO NOT speak in high-piched, convoluted voices

"What makes me really mad is this new drug, Ecstasy. MAKES ME MAD!!"
*BLINK*
1:42
Hugh Laurie does humour so well. "Walked into a shop the other. 14 stitches," so funny xD
I don't get it
He walked into it, meaning that he bumped into it, and got a cut that needed to be stitched
Omg that one makes me die laughing everytime 🤣🤣 and Stephen's one "theres a little man in the village who runs up my skirts" 🤣🤣
@@sals4659 and it looks like you never will.
But look out, it might get you......
@Teamgeist wow this was a blast from the past! i just got your notification! i dont even remember watching or making this comment. Its been a while since i was into this show
There's just something about Hugh dressed as a woman that will always be so damn hilarious ... always
I COMPLETELY agree. And when I see Fry, I think, “I want to know her.” Usually, anyway.
That cling film bit has me in fits every time.
I don't understand it.
@@Desmaad.....
It’s the best! 🤣

It is remarkable that anyone would quote from the book and even more that someone else would recognise it.
Thank you for info, but could you translate what was said to English, that's what I'm most curious about.
Anouk de Vries - "A paper folded in four fell from Edouard's chest. Villefort, thunderstruck, let himself go on his knees; the child escaped from his inert arms and rolled to his mother's."
Yes, I thought that was it.

Well how could you ever tell wheather it's red or white if you are blindfolded?.. 🙃😎
@@hallonsylt6729 Supposedly they taste different. Of course any pair of wines will taste different, but reds are supposed to have different shared qualities than whites overall. And yet nonetheless even the experts struggle to tell.
Doesn't make sense, I'm no wine expert but even I can tell the difference.
Then again, I'm French, so maybe that's why.
"Well. I'm a Capricorn. And my boyfriend is.. an alcoholic."

How versatile they are!
Not the turkey legs but F&L, well, ok, both
"that home secretary, he's a twit isn't he?"
Some jokes never age
It does when the Home Secretary's a woman.
This was done so long ago but still hilariously true. I wish Laurie and Fry would do sketches like this again.
"House prices these days..." to this day one of the funniest lines ever!
Hugh's humor timing is so perfect
It's missing the best one:
"20 pounds! So I said 'I'll toss you for it'. So he said 'what will you do for 50?'"
some very exciting chardonays coming out of New Zealand
"See that? TThat's a miracle right there. Another inch and it would have been right there." LMFAO
see that? it's a miracle that. another inch and it would have been over there
The pitbull skit LMAO. Some things will never change.
TWO FABULOUS ACTORS AND COMEDIANS! THEY WORK VERY WELL TOGETHER. ALL THEIR PERFORMANCES ARE TRULY GREAT.
6:44 It kills me every time. The way he says "welsh" and his face is so priceless.
I always use the ‘can’t seem to find a flush’ gag each time we see one of those booths 😂
"Mostly young conservatives, but it's a start.." brilliant.
Me to, I can listen to Hugh's accent all day. I never can get enough.
Which one? Lol he does about 7 here!
5:12 brilliant physical acting.
Love all of this especially young people only being attracted to church by leather and bondage films, but they’re generally Young Conservatives !

grahamlive best one by far!!
I was very shocked when my son told me his boyfriend was homosexual... How excellent.The way he pronounces homosexual!
And Hugh's policeman reminds me of the pair of stupid policemen in The Young Ones.
Hugh Laurie is a superb actor! I see glimpses of Sean Lock (RIP) in him..
And a great musician too.
fantastic, what a hilarious duo they are ! thank you fry & laurie !!
Hugh Laurie is pure genius
This Still cracks me up. like the one with Fry wearing a T- shirt that says "FAT SLAGS"
God can't stand the daily mail 🤣
Wow! Thanks for compiling these!
“Leather and bondage”. 🤣🤣🤣
1:49 introducing Stephen Fry as 80s dad
I love the Stephen french accent at 3:05, so cute! and i love these guys and the street interviews
Hugh Laurie is too cute XD
"I'm a Capricorn...and my boyfriend, is an alcoholic".
Laughing. I laughed. At. That.
I love the first character Hugh does in this vid, just amazing!
0:08 OMG !! Surprisingly enough, Stephen actually wears that look well. It looks oddly normal on him.
Steve Anon I sounds like a Bristol or West country vague mixup
he's not dressed as a girl
@@sidarthur8706and? are there only the looks of women, ie men can't have a specific look?😊
nor can I bend down to take it from my husband! LOL! @7:39
The one with the elbow, caught me so off guard I litarly roofl'ed.
I find myself slightly aroused by Hugh Laurie in a policeman's uniform.
4:29 the best vox pop moment ever!
At 4:35: "These are turkey legs... you'd be surprised how versatile they are!" - this short pause felt like eternity when I watched this skit for the first time, because I thought "no, you're not going to say next what I think you're going to say next, ARE YOU?!" - and then of course he did.
But at least I saw it coming earlier than the studio audience...
I didn't get that one
If John Cleese was in that show with those two, it would break the internet
Great stuff and a very pronounced Python influence.
Fry trying to do slang that doesn't sound posh af is cute
"I can't seem to find the flush or a handle"
Just lost it @ 6:54 lmfao
:D hz made my dayy!
So ahead of its time!
The French bit translates to:
"A paper folded in fourths fell from her right breast, Villefort, you'll need on- to go on your knees, the baby got out of her sling and rolled next to her mother."
Cling film got me
"Oh, these? Bernard Mathews Golden Turkey Drummers, their very versatile..... i have one in right now."
Never have i laughed so hard while being utterly disgusted.
They dont just act, they become people
Does anyone else love how Stephen Fry’s character approaches Laurie at 00:56?
Scientists are still investigating the meaning of this but Fry and Laurie can't recall.
Indeed - and won't you please forget the corresponding faces - priceless!!
"I'm a Capricorn and my boyfriend is an alcoholic "... lolz.
Awww, I was hoping to see “oh Christ, I’ve left the iron on.”
Well im Capricorn and alcoholic in one...If some lady wants take a shot call me 911 😂😂
Love Hugh Laurie in drag just soo funny. Home counties horsey women lol
"i've got one in at the moment"
00:14 that's a good look for him.
Timeless.
universally accepted that he isn't Welsh
"I can get into Ronnie Scott's at half price..."
Love the scene with the Pitbull. Their owners really are that ridiculous.
Oh, Christ, I've left the iron on!
Most of these were filmed in Ealing.
If I could have just ONE wish come true, it would be that people who own a pitbull terrier would not call it TYSON.
Very funny stuff.. But why do most of the posters on here seem to think that there's a test to quote in writing one of the interview bits they've just heard?.. Just wondering, btw.. Like I say, its very funny.. to listen to and see.. as performed by the comics themselves!!

4:28 Brilliant
oh christ ive left the iron on
Can totally imagine Laurie being a copper if he hadn't gone into comedy
He wanted to become one, in Hong Kong, when he was 16. Dropped the plan and went to Cambridge University, where he met Stephen Fry. Thank you guardian Angles, good job!
@@saskiakneulman7275 Yes, a good meeting indeed!
Can someone explain the ‘picture of a piano on the bedroom wall’ joke, please? I don’t get it🤔
He did not have a piano so he had a picture of one but the neighbours still complained about the noise from a non existant piano
@@mcfcguvnors Ohhhhh! Thank you!🤦🏽♀️🤓
0:57 Friy appears in the back.
With exactly the right expression on his face, just like those people who wander in on a box pop hoping to have a go themselves.
6:54 😂
Miss this kind of comedy, Brilliant from these two a time when you didn't have to check to see if you've "offended “ any knob bollocks
Cling film! 🤣
Love Hughe Laurie as the Tory Daily Mail reading OAP woman.. too good
hugh laurie looking like angelos epithemiou at 1:08
“Can’t seem to find a flush...”
Hugh at 4:00 looks like so much like Graham Coxon
Are Laurie Street interviews easier than Jane Street interviews?
It's Hugh Grant at 1.05!
God, they're genious!!!! :)
Come along Fry; if you're going to impersonate Phil Harding, you need a sweat stained hat with a feather in it.

Python?
@@waynemarvin5661 If not, then not Prince Charles…. I think…but then again…but never Ricky Gervais.
whats the joke about the drummers at 4:35?
The Honeybee
Tampon.
Look at Laurie at 1:07 and tell me he doesn't look like the spitting image of Ted Allen from Chopped.
What does he say in the photo-booth?
'"I can't seem to find a flush, or a handle...(in here?"')
Thank you, dear. I always seem to hear ''clush''.
