Jeeves and Wooster, in a nutshell...

- Опубликовано: 10 окт 2021
- A summary of the entire "Jeeves & Wooster" series in roughly 6 minutes.
-
P.G. Wodehouse's Jeeves (played by Stephen Fry) and Bertie Wooster (Hugh Laurie) have been lauded as one of the greatest comic double acts of all time. Set in the late 1920s-1930s, "Jeeves and Wooster" (1990-1993) follows the hilarious misadventures of Bertram Wilberforce Wooster - a young, affable English gentleman of the idle rich - and Jeeves - Bertie's omniscient and resourceful valet. Jeeves discreetly takes control of his "mentally negligible" employer's life, while Bertie Wooster finds himself pushed and reeled into countless imbroglios, fiascoes, and romantic entanglements led by his hapless friends and imperious aunts. But each disaster is drawn to its own satisfactory conclusion through a concatenation of intriguing coincidences.... or so they would seem. Until, that is, the silent force behind every "coincidence" is revealed to be none other than the brilliant and inimitable Jeeves.

This show deserved more seasons then Bingo had love interests
Probably not being a native speaker helped a bit. Just a guess, yet merely an excuse.
true, true
@John Thomas Don't be such a cunoot John. Typo's happen all the time! You awkward canoot. See, there goes another one!
Ah I like bingo.
@John Thomas Genuine question: are you new to the internet? It's just that the errors to be found are as sands on the beach, so either the internet is perfectly new to you, and you have encountered a grammatical error for the first time... or you must have a _lot_ of time on your hands.
These clips give absolutely no context for anything, and yet they say everything about this show. Well done. Well done, indeed.
"He endeavours to give satisfaction, sir."
"Will that be all, sir?"
Jolly good, I say.
Agree with my all. I will be sharing this with my 15 year old daughter to convince her to watch series with me
@@patrickhayes3099how would anyone have a hard time convincing somebody to watch this? Show was hilarious.
“Approaching the perpendicular, Sir.” 😂
Surely these two brilliant comedians were born to play Jeeves and Wooster.
Showed my roommate Jeeves & Wooster for the first time. He was in awe of Jeeves and finally understood where all the references come from.
That being said, it's amazing what a wonderful constant P. G. Wodehouse created with that character.
Final thought: Stephen Fry's eyes are absolutely perfect in every expression. A perfect contrast with Hugh Laurie's beautifully over the top performance.
Stephen Fry does excellent acting with his eyes alone
Fry and Laurie absolutely MADE this show.
We had two Madelines, two Gussies, two Aunt Agathas and Aunt Dalias, and so many others between them, but Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie were the lynchpin - the constant rock, the lighthouse in a lonely sea - that kept us going!
"A thought has just occurred to me, sir."
"This is no time for thought, Jeeves!"
😂
The best part is the delecate act Fry does, it would be so easy to look down on his idiot master but instead he projects he really wants to make him a better person.
The manner in which Fry & Laurie continually play the perfect foils for each other is quite uncanny. My impression is that they must have genuinely enjoyed each other's company outside of their respective roles.
What, Fry & Laurie? Yes, A Bit. 😉
I think they truly love each other, in a platonic sense.
It's as if PGW wrote the characters for Fry and Laurie!
Love Jeeves and Wooster. The show did the books proud and that time period is portrayed perfectly.
Hands-down the best, most entertaining J&W edit I've seen. This brilliantly and hilariously summarises this duo, their comedy, and their chemistry; the wit and charm of the show, the situational avalanches, and Jeeves' genius and devious extrication tactics which ultimately resolve everything. This is just. PERFECT. 👌Well done.
Agreed completely-and great, period-appropriate music choices, too!
They must have had the best time filming this. It's always fun watching actors who are friends in real life working together. They bounce off each other so well.
Loved the books when I first read them in the late 1960s as a schoolboy. Would sit in bed at night reading these stories and chuckle away to myself. They were introduced to me by my father who first read them when he was at school in the 1930s. He loved them as well. Fry and Laurie captured Jeeves and Wooster perfectly. My children and I watched the series when it first appeared and this was how I passed on the antics of Bertie, Gussie and the members of the Drones not to mention Bertie's man Jeeves on to the next generation.
I first read the books in the 90s. You know something is great when it holds up across multiple generations.
Just love this great books and TV series could watch it all day ❤️
"The bally ballyness of it all is just so bally bally!" Jeeves and Wooster are the best! 👍👍👏👏👏👏
The finest version of the Jeeves books ever made, albeit with storyline adjustments to fit the one hour slot. The attention to detail and character representation were superb.
Impeccable editing! Stephan Fry and Hugh Laurie not only do justice to Wodehouse's work, they elevate it like no other screen adaptation
Can't believe that this chap became Dr House. Surely not. 😂😂
Explaining Jeeves and Wooster to someone who's never heard of it last week:
A dumb English playboy from the '20s has a smart butler who's always mopping up after him - literally and figuratively. Mostly figuratively 😅
Jeeves is a valet, not a butler.
@@edronc2007 I know. Not 100% sure this person could've made the distinction though. I speak in oversimplification. It generally takes a lot out of me to use whole words in speech.
Far from being dumb, Bertie Wooster is often quite voluble.
@@edronc2007according to the books, Jeeves could buttle with the best of them!
@@shaz2761 'Jeeves, of course, is a gentleman's gentlemen, not a butler, but if the call comes, he can buttle with the best of them.' - "Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves"
What an absolutely perfect overview of the show. I had a huge grin on my face the entire time and I was staggered to see that this video was almost 7 minutes long! I could have sworn it was only around 2, and I mean that as a compliment. I adore this show, and I’m tempted to show people this video as an explanation of why. Great work!
"The last one used to steal his socks."
This has me oscillating between wanting to rewatch all 4 seasons or just rewatch this over and over again and call it a day.
I love this fan edit of Jeeves & Wooster. The EDITING is so good!
You can’t beat Fry and Laurie. The best in whatever they team up to do. Love them!
Superb manner of condensing the entire thing into six minutes of fun. Good song choice as well. I love the bit where Bertie insists that Jeeves get those two telegrams out immediately; his logic is something one wouldn't want to unravel. :D
This was a spiffing wheeze lol
My last name is literally Jeeves and this will never stop being absolutely hilarious to me xD
thank you, jeeves!

Drinking game:
Take a shot every time you hear "jeeves"
One of the funniest shows I have ever seen. It was brilliant. A real pip.
And here I was thinking that I had seen everything that Fry & Laurie had done together.
Can't wait to start watching this
It's a fun ride!! I grew up watching this show as a kid and didn't understand half the jokes, but I have very fond memories hahaha.
I feel like this has helped shape (or misshape) America's view of Britain just like Friends has shaped the world's view of America. To me this seems like the most British thing ever though it's set in a different time period.
Wodehouse said this world possibly only existed for a few years
Absolutely spiffing.
This is my favorite show, and yet I couldn’t find a way to stream it from an official source, so instead I have to watch it on RUclips in a bad quality.
This clip is brilliant, like a piece of sugar to J&W fans!
Dude. I'm coming back to this video after having watched all episodes of the show but one to comment on how absolutely perfect it is in every way. This might be one of my all-time favorite RUclips videos. 🤣 The way that you used “Sing, Sing, Sing” in the background was BRILLIANT, especially considering that I had always thought it would be a good backing track for one of the scenes when reading the books. The timing of these clips’ compilation was just expertly done. I'm very much geeking out over here. 🤓😁😆
Same! I keep coming back to this. It's edited so well
@@Rainime Right?! 🤣🤩
Absolutely marvelous! And I do think ‘sing sing sing’ is a perfect accompaniment to their constant hijinks :D (and it’s one of my favorite period jazz pieces too!)
3:07 "A thought has just occurred to me, sir." "This is no time for thought, Jeeves."
Why is this edit absolutely cracking me up? XD XD
Absolutely, completely, wonderfully FANTASTIC!!! I've been a lover of Wodehouse for about 30 years (and have read over 50 of his books...some multiple times) and, of course, love the show with Hugh & Laurie...this perfectly gives a taste of the characters, situations and flavor of the show... Well done!!
_Hugh & Stephen,_ or _Fry & Laurie,_ but otherwise, yes - I agree wholeheartedly!
Absolutely adored this series and the books. A glimpse into a bygone age 😊
A fabulous series, best of all, you see the two characters become increasingly close as they rub off on one another. Bertie becoming a better, albeit only slightly, man... And Reggie becoming more accepting, albeit only slightly, of his employer's flaws... It all works marvelously, and could only be portrayed by these two men.
WONDERFUL. The show was so just so 'bally bally good' but the books are sublime start with a short story set especially 'Very Good Jeeves which has 'Jeeves and The Yuletide Spirit' and 'Jeeves and The Impending Doom' among others and then just read on. Your life will be enriched.
One of the funniest books I have ever read. Had me literally cackling on a crowded peak hour bus. The humour doesn't come out in these clips, unfortunately. Wodehouse's wit is a slow but intense stream, not high speed.
How do all of these women fall for Bertie when Jeeves exists
Actually, Bertie was my first crush.
In the books Jeeves is never described but Wodehouse, in one of his other stories, observed that a proper butler had to be of a certain... "stature" to have the proper dignitas for the profession. A "stature" that might not be appealing to a young woman;).
With the exception of the Series 4 fake fiancee scam (which I don't recall in the books), l cannot think of a single woman that Bertie gets involved with who is not in his social class. Most of these young ladies wouldn't think for a second of courting with a servant. Jeeves shows no interest in them, either.
Moreover, except perhaps Honoria Glossup, they are all happy to give up Bertie when someone else comes along.
My question is how they fall for Barmy, Tuppy, Gussie, Bingo, Corky, or Catsmeat when Bertie exists.
$$$$$
I say ! This is perfection !
such a classic series! books and films!
A beautifully edited video of one of my favorite shows. Thank you!
After seeing House you keep forgetting that Hugh Laurie started out as a comedic actor.
as if House isn't comedic
@@NoNameAtAll2 House is a different kind of comedy: ruclips.net/video/LcQsD0HU0SY/видео.htmlsi=KtqVVxCIC34yDApS
as if we're as bad as you at remembering Hugh Laurie's comic performances in Blackadder and A Bit of Fry & Laurie.
@@rosiefay7283Had only seen Blackadder The Fourth before seeing House, and even then it had been so long in between that I didn't make the connection.
Not if you're British, you don't. We've been watching him in comedy since the 80s.
this is genuinely a thing of beauty. its an incredible edit. oh my god. amazing honestly . the effort, the skill, its perfect. Woo
Loved the music too.
If Jeeves and Wooster had a trailer
I say Jeeves, are you the trope codifier of hyper-competent sidekick? -Well Sir, I dare say there are numerous examples in history and myth before my time, Enki for example. And I venture to say that one is either competent or not, to go into the superlatives seems to be gauche. Either way, are you sure a gentleman should spend time on that website? They say it can ruin one's life, Sir. -Oh, I don't think so. I have only spend... What time is it? -Eight, Sir. -Now, that isn't bad, only two hours. -Two days later, Sir. -Oh. Well then. I'm going to the club, Jeeves, Gussie says he has the most astounding thing to show. i hope it is not Newts again. And get rid of that machine, we will get another one if we need one. -Very well, Sir.
Maybe the joke got a bit away from me :-)
Such a brilliant edit!
a brilliant rendition of PG Wodehouse’s brilliant stories
This, this edit is a piece of art, and I'm not joking or overstating when I say it: art.
Lovely. I've dithered over whether the series or Plum's source material were better (there are some brilliant TV additions), but in the end, like other great adaptations, each complements the other.
Never heard of this show before, but I think I'm going to be binge watching reruns for a spell... 🙃
I say, absolutely exceptional planning and editing has gone into this!
That type of relationship goes back to the army. A gentleman and his gentle man. Jeeves and Wooster. Baggins and Gamgee. Holmes and Watson. English literature is immersed in it.
Don Quixote
Not English literature
Whimsey and Bunter
Some years ago, on a YT thread, a chap was absolutely adamant that Hugh Laurie was totally American. He was completely convinced and, for evidence, he pointed to Laurie's accent in House MD. He was, I think, somewhat taken aback when numerous folk swiftly pointed out the error of his assertion citing, IIRC, such things as Blackadder. Happily, whilst bemused and a little gobsmacked, he accepted and conceded the point with grace.
Perhaps this would have been an even better argument? 🙂
This is wonderful! What a fantastic series -- and don't they both look dapper as hell!
this is a very well made edit i love it so much and how theyre so on beat and so in character and ohhhh the vibes are so immaculate
Wonderful editing sir. I hope it convinced several people to watch this gem.
4:56 . I’ve watched this moment an unhealthy amount of times.
Well, well, well,... this was such a marvelous mix. Love the series.
"record scratch" 🤣🤣🤣
Thee series was my introduction to not only J & W, but Wodehouse. As well as Fry and Laurie. Hilarious 🤣 And what a shock when a few years later I find out that Laurie played Dr. House, " Waitwaitwait... Bertie is House?!?" 😲🤯😂
omg this is so good! thank you for making it!
is that the door bell jeeves? - it certainty gave that impression, sir...
This is the most beautiful video I have ever laid my eyes upon.
This is a marvel. How have I only just found it! Kudos to you on a stellar edit :D
Hugh Laurie's performance as Bertie isn't that different from his portrayal of George IV in Black Adder 3.
You've most certainly endeavoured to offer satisfaction with this video.
Brilliant compillation - Bertie and Jeeves in a nutshell😂❤
The original series, for all its brilliance, could have used an editor like this.
I've always found Jeeves and Wooster to be the high brow version of the American duo Archie and Jughead.
Fabulous!
This is brilliant, so well done.
As a Geeves, this is where a lot of jokes came from, as well as ask Jeeves search engine
"Do you know everything?" "I really don't know, Sir." Doesn't say much about Bertie but a lot about Jeeves.
This is absolutely brilliant :D
Perfect compilation. Thank you!
I love this so much! It's so well done.
This was brilliant!! I definitely need to do another binge through soon! :D Great work!
House brought me here to rekindle some memories of Bertie Wooster
Absolutely criminal that it cannot be found on TV anywhere.
This is really well created
Damn these guys are SOOOO YOUNG here ! I only know them from eh, half a century later… 😮
So glad these program exist that commemorate Stephen Fry at the apex of his masculine beauty.
this was a delight
I've seen every episode many, many times and enjoyed it just as much each time.
Yes, this is the entire show condensed into a 6 minute short.
I didn't notice the cow creamer.
@@raymondm.9954The infamous cow-creamer is at 5:47
I love this show❤❤❤ absolutely my favorite! Thank you, it was great! Pip-pip!
Beautifully done!
This is PERFECTION
When Bertie says "giddy biscuit!" lmaoooooo
The best trailer ever!
This should be on a streaming service somewhere. I wish I didn’t have to rely on my dvds to be able to watch this.
Brilliantly done! Loved Jeeves and Wooster ever since I watched it as a little kid with mom on dvd
Brilliantly done! Bravo!
When the serial gets long deserved Oscar there is one coming for you for making this.
Sheer and undiluted genius!
This was perfect omg
Fabulous. Currently watching all the shows again.
