![Hugh Laurie on The Graham Norton Show [HD]](/img/1.gif)
This is Fry in his most comfortable element; the overly verbose and subtly patronizing servant.

aka Jeeves
Jeeves!
Very hard indeed for non native speakers like me to follow, despite having, I may say, a proficiency level of English.
I liked him better as Melchett.
"I sneak myself toward the suspicion that sir has cast me as the mouse in his ever-popular cat drama" - is one of the best lines ever. Truly, the Tidyman's carpet of dialogue.
That flew right over my head, what reference am I not getting?
@@joesr31 tidyman's carpet is another famous sketch from fry&laurie
I can't hear Stephen Fry speak like this w/out imagining Jeeves reciting those exact same lines!
Second only to "sir would prefer it if in the sphear of total hair cutation I was to him a virgin?"

They just walked in with a camera, this is how Fry actually talks.

@@ProperGanderSaul to get a job. Duh!
@@ProperGanderSaul Bro I am yet to see anyone who does their job properly. People go to unis to get a degree so they can get a job, and unis design courses not to teach but rather to fulfill criterias and objectives. The whole system is shoddy.
I've been reading a new book on expanding my vocabulary to this level. The book is, how shall I say, good.
I likewise in the most effusive language I can muster would say it was....ok
Indeed, I might endeavour to go one further and dub the volume in question "great".
Ah, yes a verbose and riveting discourse on the finer subtleties of the English language canon, is indeed an eminent and worthy tome to possess. Without wishing to appear sycophantic or obsequious may I proffer Sir my optimistic assessment of Sir's future abilities in mastering the advances in said sociolinguistics.
Sir, this book, of what author and title is?
@@kkrsnn5632 Edmund: A Butler's Tale, by Gertrude Perkins.
"And believe me when I tell you that it was both difficult, and impossible" 😂
I'm English, and my working vocabulary still just doubled in 4 minutes
Many of the words are made up and mean nothing - or at least don't mean what they are supposed to mean here. That's a part of the joke :)
I believe you wish to encur an encutment upon the English language.
@@WhoThisMonkey I delect on such ocurrements, they are the enjoyance of my humanhoodly activities.
Encutment.

"Being one of the shrewdest sirs who has ever swum into my purview" -- I'm stealing this
“May I take it that sir is keen to exploit the financial and social advantages inherent in having a Haircut?”
I once wrote a horror story in which the antagonist spoke like Fry's character in this bit. It always sticks with me, it's fantastic.
I would love to read it if you feel comfortable to share it. Just a thought!
I would love to read it!
“Sir, please set fire to my legs…” brings tears of laughter to my eyes every time
I know everybody's appreciating the language, and it's certainly worth it. But what really had me going is Fry putting CAPE after CAPE after CAPE around Hugh's neck.
The most impressive part is when he loses the third cape for a second, calmly grabs it, decides to tie it to not lose it again, while focused on that Almost misspeaks "place in my professional p..care" but corrects himself in time and continues as if he was going steady all along !! His composure is beyond belief !
Oh my goodness I never noticed it, and I've seen this sketch so many times before holy cow XDD
Whereas the haircut purveyor considered survival of the service to be a rare event, I am certain that the multitude of capes were applied in order to capture the bountiful profusion of blood.
I have no recollection of having made the above post, nor do I find myself likely to have been being in possession of the ability of such locution at that time.
@@chrisbanbury hahahahahaha this post is golden!!!
Ok but are we not going to talk about how smoothly he picked up his towel when it dropped at 0:14??
"Sir would prefer it if in the sphere of total haircutation, I was, to him, a virgin?"
Stephen Fry turns speaking English into an art. It is as hilarious as it is beautiful.
Respect to Fry for perfectly memorising all of those lines. Must have been an absolute mare.
That's just how he always talks.
You should see him in "Jeeves and Wooster"!
As an English teacher, I feast upon this banquet of this utterly glib and eloquent sketch! 👏
O how I wish to learn this kind of English ! ♥️💓
@@rodger3352 My students look somewhat confounded with a hint of flummoxing emerging towards my effusion of Ciceronian ebullition. 💪
(Sometimes I try to make them enthusiastic to use these exuberant compositions).
It isn't 'glib'. Using "feast upon a banquet" as a metaphor for surplus is cliché.
You're in the wrong job.
@@vapourmile 'Glib' is also 'well-spoken'. I merely wanted to express my admiration of these two marvelous actors, acting way over the top with their marvelous 'stage English'.
😂👍👏
0:17 Hugh trying hard not to laugh🤣
0:15 hell of a kick save.
Cracked Hugh up
Cracked Hugh up
Did he just smirk??
@@metalhammer5 Looks like it
You can see why they were picked for Jeeves & Wooster. You really get that Jeeves & Wooster vibe in this clip!
They originally turned down the roles as they didn't want to ruin Wodehouse's stories but later changed their minds! Very happy they did change their minds!
i can't remember who said it, but someone (i think it was hugh but i can't remember rn) said that stephen in the video was 'jeeves on crack'
Both of them by their own admission have been influenced by P. G. Wodehouse, and the script in this skit was certainly Wodehouse and I think Wodehouse+
I think it was the effortlessly smooth way that he flipped his cloth back into his hand at around the 0:20 mark.
A truly Jeevesian move.
@@BBCComedyGreats From what I read in an interview, they refused to portray Jeeves and Wooster on tv because they didn't want to ruin it. But they were afraid that someone else might do an even worse job. So they took it up.
Fry and Laurie were made for each other. Their performances in the series Jeeves and Wooster are just incredible. It is interesting to note that Fry and Laurie, Rowan Atkinson, Eric Idle, John Cleese, Michael Palin, Terry Jones, and Graham Chapman all emerged from the same time and place. It must have been something in the water.
""Cometh the hour, cometh the man"". Though it must be remembered that Emma Thompson, Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders are luminaries of similar stature and also their cohorts. And Ben Elton.
@@Belzedarand Sandi Tosvig. I was there too, but missed all the fun.
Are you saying they were all on the same swim team?
@@jeffreyjeziorski1480 Perhaps it was something in the gin. Whatever it was, it is kind of amazing that all that comedic talent emerged from the same time and place.
@throckmortensnivel2850 yes. The gin.
This is Fry at his very best, he has such a way with words. They both do.
"Rained like a bitch". I did not see that coming 😂
Stephen’s pronunciation of Lincolnshire is like honey.
Perfect writing, perfect performance and perfect partnership!!!
fry is so good at these bits
I wish I worked at a barbers shop so I could put all of the covers onto one person.
In the evolution of the barber-profession, we must wonder if Egyptian mummies were not the suffocated victims of overzealous apprentices. He did say he started in Cairo.
I wonder how many u could put on the customer, before they get weirded out
Looooooooooooool
@@prospero4183I would start to be a bit confused if they put on two
Well may it be ascertained without a hintness of the hyperbolic that Mr Fry is indeed excelling himself in this chucklesome spoof.
Leaving this for whoever gets recommended this five years from now
It's only been 3 days, but thanks.
It's been a week. I'll be back in 5 years to say hi.
well, almost
Stephen Fry sounds like an Oblivion NPC.
😂😂😂😂
2:51 Hugh was about to break character
‘Being one of the shrewdest Sirs who’s ever swum into my purview’ - I mean nobody, NOBODY else writes like this. 0:58
I take immense delight upon attending said barber's most expansive and sesquipedalian vocabulary
Comedic genius! The use of word play to take us on a roller coaster ride of emotions, laughter and confusion until the very end!
These hold up so well. Comic geniuses. Thank you for sharing this.
you can't just leave out the ending like that!
Without doubt one of my favourite Fry and Laurie sketches
The thumbnail made me realise how much Stephen Fry and Drew Barrymore look alike
"wait one cotton picking minute here!" had me dead lmao
ADORE this duo! There's just something about Hugh's face 😆😆
Ok I keep watching this every couple of weeks. I love this skit!
I'm dying here ;-) Stephen Fry is an utter genius!!!!
One of the best skits of all time.
"Will that be all sir?"
THANK YOU JEEVES
"I endeavour to give satisfaction, sir."
I haven't thought of Fry & Laurie in a long time... I think it would be great to see their stuff again.
Ahh yes, the classic sketch "Bitchmother, Come light my bottom!" by Sir William (Now Lord) Rees-Mogg. Such an incredible borderline Shakespearean quality.
“Not a problem, sir” - that delivery😂👌🏻
This sketch reminds me of an episode occurred to a friend of mine in a barber's shop down here (in Italy): "How do you want your hair cut, sir?, asked the barber. "In silence", my friend replied.
Got these two were, still are, brilliant 😂 Would love to see them back together for Jeves n Wooster special or something 😁
If ’A Bit of Fry and Laurie’ was the only thing to watch I don’t think I’d tire.
This is one of my favourite things ever
"...sir, please set fire to my legs if you think..." 😄
oh, that 'good bye' is simply perfect :D
He was brilliant 👏both Fry and Laurie and Jeeves and Wooster I used to watch that on a Sunday night when I was younger and Fry has obviously got one hell of a vocabulary in BlackAdder come along now Darling LT.DARLING 😅❤💯🇮🇪👍
"I once cut all the hairs on a gentleman's head in Cairo shortly after the war, when the world was in uproar, and to a young man everything seemed possible."
I want a barber like this
Laurie can make me laugh just with the way he moves his head and holds his face, what a genius
Sadly cut before the original script ended. The rest of it contains such marvelousness as: "If sir will resume the seatedness of his posture."
It's just Stephen being Stephen....thank goodness.
I just watch the first episode of A Bit of Fry and Laurie, it’s hilarious
Fry is every student whenever they are tasked to make an essay with a minimum words requirement.
I just came back from a visit to the UK. I've had quite a few interactions like this..
😂👍👏
I don't think you have any idea how you're going to end this.
Love this channel
I can’t even begin to tell you all, how utterly mirthsome this display of comedic brilliance is. I too once had to cut the hair of someone against his will, and let me tell you. Will was not impressed in the slightest!!!
I love how at 2:50 Hugh tries his best to not blast out laughing
I think not. He's more professional than that.
@@RealityCheck6T9 Can't you see the smirk, though? Also at 0:17 he let out a slight laugh, and you can clearly see it's a sincere one. Although they are professionals (or maybe because of that), there were tons of short moments in the show when they were enjoying themselves and laughing about each other.
Utterly brilliant.
Set fire to my legs! 😂👏🙌

@@starwarsfreak1111 A bit more "A Bit of Fry & Laurie"
@@chickenwheel45 You don't need to add the first "bit". More of a bit of a... is pun enough!

Is this the proto version of the Increasingly Verbose meme?
This had me rolling.
What isn't shown is the barber staying up 3 days doing cocaine beforehand
manbalex you’ve obviously never done cocaine
Cunningflop we know Stephen Fry has tho
@Yung Smegma manbalex obviously hasn't according to Cunningflop
I read this comment with Archer's voice
😂
Cuttage🤣😂🤣 my new favorite word

Genius comedy
My professor grading the essay I write using ChatGPT be like
Fry and Laurie are geniuses
Wonderful. 🌹
Utterly brilliant! B-)
I wonder if this inspired the "Suit you sir" skits on the Fast Show.
set fire to my legs 😂😂😂
My compliment goes to Hugh Laurie, because it is near impossible to not die of laughter, forget keeping a straight face, while acting to Stephen Fry's line delivery.
God I wish people talked like this. The worlds would be ever so much more fun and engaging
Or just entirely roundabout, pretentious and annoying...
S hayman the world would be full of useless talking and words
"Sir please set fire to my legs if..." hahaha why.
"Har cutation"! Perfect.....
Fry and a Walking Thesaurus, genius.
A bit of dictionary and thesaurus
LMAO!!! That hurt!
I had the subs turned on for this!
This is how I spoke to my line manager, as I joined the ranks of the “2022 Great Resignation” statistic.
He actually called me the very next morning…the dimwit 😅😂

Is somewhere available the text of this profoundly exquisite exchange of elevated thoughts?
2:52 lorrie smiles
Funnily enough, I find this today, mere hours after getting a haircut...
I would so love to have drunk myself silly pissed with these guys when they did.
"Believe me when I tell you, it was both difficult and impossible"
I wish my barber can talk like this
Plot twist: This was Stephen Fry's audition video for Jeeves in 'Jeeves and Wooster' :D
LOL, that would be hilarious! XD
Lol, thank you.
the way he pronounces " haircut" hahahaha
This reminds me of a Yiddish doctor I once had. He also had a nurse that was like Lurch from the Addams family. Neither could be trusted with a needle.
