with the "and wore it, sir?" at 0:53 Jeeves stepped back to put some distance between him and the dreaded object. The attention to detail, the mastery of small gestures both actors NATURALLY possess is phenomenal.
"Hmm, I assume it got into you wardrobe by mistake, sir...or else that it'd been placed there by your _enemies._" Jeeves; the original Shade King extraordinaire!
This is one of the very few shows funny enough to make me laugh spontaneously. The two lines that do it in this set of clips are: "Presumably they thought you were a waiter, sir." and "It was Lord Kitchener who sprang to mind on first sighting, sir."
"Do you realize I don't get out of my pajamas until 5 in the afternoon and I just put on a sweater like this!" "Don't listen, Jeeves!" *sound of anguish*
The way Jeeves backs away upon hearing that Bertie had actually worn the jacket in Cannes is absolutely priceless. It's so rare to have such talents (Wodehouse, Fry and Laurie) intersect as we had in this series. Sigh.
i want to live in an alternate universe where Jeeves is my valet... but i'd settle for a ten minute chat with Steven Fry in this universe instead... I don't think any two people were ever as well cast in their roles as Fry and Laurie were in this... great stuff
This was so great. Love when Jeeves seamlessly hands off the cowboy hat to the doorman. Must have taken a lot of work putting this together -- thanks. By the way, if you're ever up for compiling another of these, love the one where Jeeves calls Bertie's new monogrammed shirts "novelty items."
And now watching this clip over and over again - didn't know anything could get Jeeves out of his character but he almost seems frightened of the tie with horseshoes on it :D
this is deeply rich stuff,,, the two actors are flawless and i still shriek indecorously at the bingo's tie scene...as good as any python, or mr. humphriesage and that's sayin moooooocho
Bertie: What on earth's the matter Jeeves Jeeves: I apologize sir it was inforgiveable of me, i shall be better directy. It's just Mr. Little's tie sir, it has little horseshoe's on it. Excellent
I love: The one with the white jacket, the one with the mustache, and the last one--"It has little horse shoes on it. It's sometimes difficult to just shrug these tings off, sir."
Thank you ever so much for going through the trouble of finding these parts. It saved me the trouble of having to look for them myself. Must've took a min. for you to finish. Again. Thank you.
Bahahaha yeah XD If Jeeves was Bingo's valet I'm sure he'd have "disposed" of the tie before long, as he does with Bertie's stuff :P "You can get rid of the hankerchiefs, Jeeves" "Thank you, Sir, I destroyed them this morning" owned ;)
Thanks for uploading these clips, i've recently discovered this show for the first time and love it. I love the way Stephen's face falls when he spots the tie in the last bit, it always gets me, bless 'im.
@Alibi1992 Lords and people of the upper classes in England had Valets whose job it was to dress the lord and keep constant tabs on his wardrobe. Lesser lords and aristocrats had combo butlers/valets like Jeeves is. Also it's a joke that a valet would have a greater sense of etiquette and style than his master so that when he goes out the uppers wouldn't judge him. The greatest joke here though is that his master, and likely others, aren't judging each other's dress but it's the servant class.
Would people believe if I told that the books are even funnier than the movies? From first to last phrase, each one is funny. I don't know how Wodehouse was able to make it!
It's quite remarkable how they were able to make such a splendid series out of the books, without Bertie's inner dialogues and descriptions. Anyone who hasn't read some Wodehouse is really missing out on one of the delights of the English language.
"Everyone wears things with their initials on them nowadays." "I thought the practise was restricted to those who were in danger of forgetting their names, sir."
Duh, Jeeves isn't a pansy, but it's easier to write body language than it is to act it. Viewers might not notice Jeeves raising his eyebrow by one eighteenth of an inch.
I've taken to calling Jeeves "Ultimate Fashion Police" thanks to that comment XD Seriously, I can't think of anyone else who would double-facepalm like that at the mention of someone angsting about dressing up for dinner.
what a great video thanks for the upload glo2gn! I love how jeeves never directly contradicts wooster, but rather goes about insult in a gentlemanly fashion.
Oh yes, he would be a fabulous Doctor! As would Hugh Laurie too, of course, come to think of it. Perhaps Steven Fry could then be the Master for his Doctor, hm? Fry would make quite a nefarious Master, I'm sure. ;D
yes, Jeeves' "I destroyed them" calls to mind an image of some ritualistic tie-burning... I bet that's what they really get up to at the Junior Ganymede :-)
I agree. Just read an essay about classes where it was meant that tidy and clean rooms were lower / middle class, whereas sloppy and wornout housing would be a sign of the upper class. This pleased me very much ;-)I
Oooh you're right! Fry would make a perfect Master actually, cunning and clever - and theatrical no doubt :P Hugh Laurie would make a very sweet Doctor, if he played it as he does Bertie Wooster - innocent and bumbling bless him haha

I'm sorry Jeeves, you shouldn't have heard that.

Stephen Fry's delivery is faithful to every comma in the text.
Great Scott! I've just commented on the same subject.
2:10 -- "I'm sorry, Jeeves; you shouldn't have heard that." "I shall be better directly, Sir." LOL!!!
I love the bit at 1:27 when the elevator man puts Bertie's terrible hat on. He was one of the best characters in the series, come to think of it.
That guy legit stole the scene, lol!
Love the nod. "G'day folks!"
He had the same degree of discretion as Jeeves; not an easy bar to clear.
i want to live in an alternate universe where Jeeves is my valet... but i'd settle for a ten minute chat with Steven Fry in this universe instead... I don't think any two people were ever as well cast in their roles as Fry and Laurie were in this... great stuff
I love the sinister music when Jeeves notices Bingo’s tie with little horseshoes on it.
Jeeves is so sassy. And I love how he always goes about things in his calm and innocent way, and never changes his tone.
Jeeves' reaction to Bingo's tie is remarkable :D
And the orchestra 😂
Hahahaha, Jeeves quietly gives the hat to Mister Elevator Man.
And not his first time did this!
Elevator Man was my favorite recurring character.
This "stiff upper lip" humour from Jeeves is hilarious!!
This was so great. Love when Jeeves seamlessly hands off the cowboy hat to the doorman. Must have taken a lot of work putting this together -- thanks. By the way, if you're ever up for compiling another of these, love the one where Jeeves calls Bertie's new monogrammed shirts "novelty items."

I don't know whether I'd love or hate to see Jeeves' reaction to my dad's Wallace and Gromit tie...
"Gentlemen do not wear straw hats in the Metropolitan, Sir."
Marvellous collection!
He's right those. Dreadful style
*in the metropolis
@@omp199 Opps, yes.
@@BintyMcFrazzles It is good to see that you are still here after 15 years. :)
@@omp199 I can't believe I've had the same RUclips account for this long! I received a notification. Strange, after 15 years!
I love it when jeeves says when he disagrees wit wooster "very good sir".
"I assumed it had gotten into ur by mistake sir. Or else placed there by your enimies."
Jeeves. I love you. I love you SOOOOO MUCH.
OMG ITS HOUSE!!!!
Just kidding, hate it when people dismiss 95% of Hughs career in Britain.
"I shall be better directly, sir."
I know... I love the psycho music that plays when he notices it... the horseshoes of DOOOOOM!!!!
i say, rather! he always looks v dapper. theres some excellent tailoring for this series
Jeeves isn't a butler, he's a valet. Valet's look after the gentlemen, butlers look after the whole family.
Dear God,
Forget my last letter about the time machine. I'd much prefer a Jeeves instead.
Many thanks,
-A Gentlemenless Gentleman.
A tie with little horseshoes on it. My God.
Bertie: What on earth's the matter Jeeves
Jeeves: I apologize sir it was inforgiveable of me, i shall be better directy. It's just Mr. Little's tie sir, it has little horseshoe's on it.
Excellent
I love: The one with the white jacket, the one with the mustache, and the last one--"It has little horse shoes on it. It's sometimes difficult to just shrug these tings off, sir."

Elegant, great humour and personality and a metropolitan man. Awesome.
Style is temporary, class is permanent.
I need Jeeves in my life.
LOL! He had a nervous breakdown just because the guy stays in his pyjamas.
Bahahaha yeah XD
If Jeeves was Bingo's valet I'm sure he'd have "disposed" of the tie before long, as he does with Bertie's stuff :P
"You can get rid of the hankerchiefs, Jeeves"
"Thank you, Sir, I destroyed them this morning" owned ;)
I love how Jeeves passes off Bertie's hat to the elevator man at 1:25!
4 minutes of Jeeves and Wooster sartorially disagreeing. Fantastic.
The ol' soup strainer
Jeeves is just the greatest.
Thanks for uploading these clips, i've recently discovered this show for the first time and love it.

Not a day goes by that I didn't wish I had a Jeeves of my own.
they must have thought you were a waiter, sir.
gosh, i love these two!
Very smooth! I do so love Jeeves.
the quaver in his voice is lovely
Would people believe if I told that the books are even funnier than the movies? From first to last phrase, each one is funny. I don't know how Wodehouse was able to make it!

Would have been good to include the part when Jeeves finds the monogrammed handkerchiefs!
"Everyone wears things with their initials on them nowadays."
"I thought the practise was restricted to those who were in danger of forgetting their names, sir."
it wasnt until recently that I remembered Jeeves was a savage
Duh, Jeeves isn't a pansy, but it's easier to write body language than it is to act it. Viewers might not notice Jeeves raising his eyebrow by one eighteenth of an inch.
Best bit was still him handing the western hat to the doorman without Bertie noticing, who then happily modelled it for a mo
I've taken to calling Jeeves "Ultimate Fashion Police" thanks to that comment XD
Seriously, I can't think of anyone else who would double-facepalm like that at the mention of someone angsting about dressing up for dinner.
Thanks for posting. A good series of clips, it deserves higher res.
Where is the monogrammed handkerchief ?
...and the black guy puts the cowboy hat on, smiles, nods and goes on to be a famous Zydeco accordionist.
Love that scene when Jeeves cries!
Great Video!
that expression is quite possibly the best thing i've ever seen
I can't help but wonder how Jeeves would react to today's fashions.
The problem with the world is that there are ten people in it who dislike this video.
Presumably they thought you were a waiter sir. Now look here Jeeves!
It's just Mr Little's tie Sir..... It has horse shoes on it O_o
DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUR!!
Hahaha I love Jeeves :P
I shall be better directly Sir....lol! Love it
Jeeves is beautiful.
I happen to love Bertie's fashionable Alpine with the feather the most from the books
Alpine Joe? That series is being rebroadcast on Radio 4 Extra at the moment. You can still find it on BBC iPlayer.
with the horsehoes on tie thing, im not sure if jeeves is grief-stricken due to the terrible fashion choice or considered it to be a bad omen
Someone commented about them as Doctor Who. No, not the Doctor…but am I the only one who could see "The Valet" as another time lord?
"...or else a tradesman left it".
It's sometimes difficult just to shrug these things off, sir.
Lol!!
what a great video thanks for the upload glo2gn!
I love how jeeves never directly contradicts wooster, but rather goes about insult in a gentlemanly fashion.
Oh how I
Poor jeeves :D
In Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit (i think thats the one) Bertie grows a moustache, much to the disapproval of Jeeves.
I named my pet cockateil Jeeves.
Awesome delivery.
Jeeves -> Fashion Police
I can't get enough of jeeves!-3
Oh yes, he would be a fabulous Doctor! As would Hugh Laurie too, of course, come to think of it. Perhaps Steven Fry could then be the Master for his Doctor, hm? Fry would make quite a nefarious Master, I'm sure. ;D
The original fashion police

Jeeves gives the elevator guy the western hat xDDDDDDD
"placed there by your enemies"
lol
And the bit before that almost looks like "Stephen" if you tilt your head and squint.
I have to confess same here. And it suited Bertie ("Beau Brummel of the year")
That's such a hilariously creepy mustache! Reminds me of Gavan O'Herlihy in some of his roles.
An in-depth, thorough examination on why people ship these two.
I love how he gets more bold in his disapproval in later eps.
O MY! It's just so much englishness that I can not handle it!
Just got done watching the entire series, and I just love those little moments when Jeeves shows signs of disappointment ... :P
If you don't like Laurie here you don't know British comedy.
"And wore it, sir?" :D
1:15 my favorite 😂
At 2:50 there is real tea in the cup, these days it would be empty. I feel like that's a backwards step lol.
Oooh you're right! Fry would make a perfect Master actually, cunning and clever - and theatrical no doubt :P
Hugh Laurie would make a very sweet Doctor, if he played it as he does Bertie Wooster - innocent and bumbling bless him haha
"Very _striking,_ sir."
haha they are very good hats now-a-days (relatively speaking). but for the period this show was set, I'd have to agree with jeeves.
The best clip is the last one love it.
the4000class - my favorite too.
Marvellous wardrobe Wooster has. Oh well, chin chin.
thank you so much for posting this.... love it
