Love this sketch. I still quote it all the time. From ‘Don’t be durteh’ to ‘I’m sure you must know the rules b’now’ and especially ‘It is it is it is!’ Brilliant.
That is excellent acting.🌞 Since the actor's Public Accent is consistent, and very different from "this/these one/s", my first guess is he's attempting to be very proper and very silly in an understated way (via accent alone; thus, neither physical humor nor any sort of literally verbal humor.)
Tony: "...masticate" Bradleh: "D'ooo, Toneh, Ah thort you were a gonna thur" Later... Tony: "...the second participant then gives the first participant ten quid and goes home" That's bloody clever writing - hiding a "sin" (paying money for a 'service') in plain sight.
I love this sketch, the Don't be Dirty Daily Double features in my life so much. "Your categories are...Rimming! Genital Torture....and David Vine!" The hard G at the end of Rimming kills me :p
I found a clip of Jim Bowen doing stand-up. It was a little bit durteh. Accent is quite different, though: not the same heavy r's. ----"Heavy r's"? That's durteh!
That is a much-debated question, but the most widely accepted answer seems to be that it is a Lancashire accent. See the replies to Gabriel Schleifer's comment below.
@@atosov thank you man I have read the comments, mostly Lancashire...but I love it. I would like to fake a weird british accent but not the normal British one cauz these days everyone is doing it. I loved the video.he says "no" for "now". That was the good part. Have a nice day Mr.Tosov.
No, but there used to be an "s" in "raze," or rather "rase"---a spelling attested in quotations in the *OED* from as late as 1918. So if Tony were playing this game 100 years ago, he would have a legitimate challenge. To which you might say, with John, "Aw, piss!"
@@garylumley7610 I'd say it is more a generic east Lancashire accent rather than Lancastrian. Sometimes he also slips across the border into a Yorkshire accent as well.
@@greenaum it can also mean specifically "from Lancaster." If you are talking about accents, "Lancastrian" would more commonly refer to the city than the county.
c-c-c-careful now Tony

Don't Be Dirty (A Bit of Fry and Laurie). 18.4.24. excellent.
That accent is incredible. He's all over the shop. Yorkshire, Devon, Northern Ireland, I think he even stumbled through Wales for a bit.
Sounds Blackburn /Accrington to my ear.
Blackburn would be my guess, too.
It's pure east Lancashire. The Rs are distinctive.
Wherever he is from, it ain't on a map.
Unless it's Burnley, in which case that very much is on a map.
That is excellent acting.🌞

Before I even knew what this sketch was about, the way he pronounced ‘don’t be dirty’ as ‘daunt beh durr-teh’ just cracked me up 🤣
God damnit! It's over a year since I saw this, and I still can't read the word dirty without hearing it in that accent.
I'm sorry, Lydia, but maybe your mind is a bit durteh.
The prizes were his and his alone. Nobody could take them, they were his. Shame he had to go and be deiurtaeh and lose them all.
Interesting spelling...I (being from the north west of England) would propose Durrrtehhh
Great, had previously never taken in the whole thing in it's full length before. Ooo was that too 'durte'?
C-c-c-careful, Tony!
Which accent is it??
@@carnivorecommando9617 might be northern, I guess
@@FilthyGoose Very camp Lancashire.
@Percival Poxcock - aye, I'd not got to grips wi' t' full extent on it me'sel but now I 'ave... eee I'm not quite feelin' mesel.
Tony: "...masticate"
Bradleh: "D'ooo, Toneh, Ah thort you were a gonna thur"
Later...
Tony: "...the second participant then gives the first participant ten quid and goes home"
That's bloody clever writing - hiding a "sin" (paying money for a 'service') in plain sight.
How is paying for "service" (wink wink *honk honk* 😛😝😜🤪😉) a sin?
Could listen to Stephen fry speak this way on a loop
You have to repay to us your travel expenses is one of my all time fave F&L lines
Each time I‘m watching Stephen Fry‘s reboot of Jeopardy, I can hear him saying „Don‘t be dirtah!“ 😝
Jeopardah has a 'daily double'!
I love this sketch, the Don't be Dirty Daily Double features in my life so much.
"Your categories are...Rimming! Genital Torture....and David Vine!"
The hard G at the end of Rimming kills me :p
Keep coming back to watch this, it makes me laugh every time. Genius.
Priceless. Best sketch show ever
take your time very quickly.
Quicklee.
How did not become an actual show? It beats the **** out of the present reality TV/talent show rubbish.
Does this remind anyone of Maurice Moss (Richard Ayoade) from the IT crowd?
Especially on countdown
@@CatNostril that's a lovely Tnettenba
My first thought watching this! Wonder if this was the inspiration for Moss?
haha certainly! also, i think everyone should thank the cambridge footlights for givings us ayoade, fry and laurie :)))
If comedians ever do a Fry and Laurie sketch tribute show they should definitely cast Richard for this sketch
I like how Tony has been knocked out in the semi final round three times despite being so clean.
Brilliant! I always think of Pattie Coldwell when I watch this!
First time i watched this i almosed choked to death. Great to see the whole video
I like how Hugh's character tried his best to win and not be durteh, but then lost and let swear words slip😂
“Opportyuniteh” 2:00
Dorrrn't bi dirrrteh 🤣😂🤣😂
If linsey hoyle had a gameshow
I love that the host is called Bradley. Definite premonition there.
You can imagine Granada Television making this type of game show for real, to fill their void of an overnight service Night Time from 1988.
Don’t... be duuuurteh
"You're playing with fire, man". :D
''OOOOOOOOH Tony Tony! ye said on the game!''
Shite arse damn
This is basically his whole purpose on QI
1:36=Sorry Tony, but there's no i in arse I think you'll find. 😂
This could actually make for a great late night game show.
"Plos an opportuna-tah"
😂
I must rush you as you take your time…
The fellatio description should be entered in the Oxford (and all others) Dictionary 😁
Daily double? That's dirty!
It's now presented by Ted Cunterblast
Vernon Kaye and Paddy McGuinness both studied this as a training video and have stuck to this method all their careers.
“Ooh Tony I thought you were a gonner then”
Your time starts..Then😄😄
your time starts 5 seconds ago
How have I JUST seen the full sketch of this??
Take your time, but take your time very quickly
Its Vernon Kay before Vernon Kay became famous.🤣
Hellorrrr and welcome to dorn't be dirteh
Ooh Tony I thought you were a gonna there, you're playing with fire man
Trying to get around the RUclips algorithm like
Tooshy, tooshy, tish! 😂😂
Is Stephen Fry impersonating Jim Bowen? It's strangely convincing 😂😂😂
Why is Britain so good at satire
the presenters even now are like this, especially the way they go on about the prizes they either keep or don't keep lol
Oh no Tony you said on the Game
Hugh: „Stephen, do you think you can do an accent for this one?“
Stephen: „I can do all of them, Hugh“
Hugh: “Stephen you need to do a cockney accent “
Stephen:”got this in t bag “
Don't be dairtah
This looks like the pilote of QI with Lou Reed
Mr Fry's accent reminds me of Lindsay Hoyle who is from Chorley.
Id love to see this on BBC along with Monkey Tennis and youth hostelling with Chris Eubank!!!
Did he just say empty-headed instead of empty-handed? 😅
Oh Ptouneigh.
Opportunitahhhh
Ah fil lak a' durr-teh Bai.
he also said "deployed".
lololol this is probably the only time I actually favorited a sex-related joke
Helloh and welcome guy Dohn’t Be Dyurteh
Why is the state of Oregon the outline of don't be durteh
It just seems that way because Oregon is shaped like a slightly mangled sheet of paper.
OOO Err, they've come a long way, 'aven't they?
Oh piss
Tone-ehh, you have 30 Earth seconds to explain Genital torture and David Vine
what's the accent Stephen is mimicking?
Lancashire, possibly Chorley
@@FrankyBabesSounds more like Blackburn to me.
Doant bidurtah
What part of england is the host supposed to be from?
Lancashire
East Lancashire
Doesn't masticate mean chew? Good God, I hope I never receive fellatio from Tony.
That has always bothered me too. Clearly, they chose the word just because it sounds like "masturbate," which is DURTEH.
He was referring to the bubblegum.
Be now
fry is imitating Jim bowen who hosted bullseye...look up clips..its a marvelous impression.
I found a clip of Jim Bowen doing stand-up. It was a little bit durteh. Accent is quite different, though: not the same heavy r's. ----"Heavy r's"? That's durteh!
It's not. Jim Bowen was never that camp or broad
Exactly what I thought, the phrases and pattern of speech are so similar to Jim Bowen's it's uncanny.
Which accent is spoken by fry?
That is a much-debated question, but the most widely accepted answer seems to be that it is a Lancashire accent. See the replies to Gabriel Schleifer's comment below.

It sounds Northern. Maybe near the border?
Fuck, these guys were good.
Sir Lindsay Hoyle
I will he-yuh the honourable gentleman
Ted Tonks hosting a game show.
😂
Is Stephen's accent in this sketch based on any particularly one or was he trying to imitate a certain person's way of speaking?
I certainly noticed it was rhotic
It's supposed to be a Lancastrian accent, I think
@@markwrenn8569East Lancashire, specifically. Blackburn, maybe.
Hayley from Corrie
THEN
*DÖRTEH*
So basically Stephen’s accent is what Southerners think Northerners sound like.
Actually, I DO have northern relatives, and they really sound like this !!!
I'm from East Lancashire and this is pretty much what we sound like 😅 It's exaggerated of course, but not wildly inaccurate at all.

£10?!?!?
Early 90's I guess
Raze is not an anagram of arse, there's no z in arse.
No, but there used to be an "s" in "raze," or rather "rase"---a spelling attested in quotations in the *OED* from as late as 1918. So if Tony were playing this game 100 years ago, he would have a legitimate challenge.

dan taylor also we use rase everywhere else in the world with s
Only in USA is it raze
@@Raky2427 I cannot say I've ever ever seen the word rase in the UK. Ever
@@dantaylor7344 There's raze and raise, but no rase, indeed, ^oo^
@@bernardthedisappointedowl6938 Good man.
Lindsay Hoyle could present this.
...the most DAFT accent ever...
Oh my god that Scottish nan accent Stephen does XD
Lancastrian. Not even close to Scottish.
@@garylumley7610 I'd say it is more a generic east Lancashire accent rather than Lancastrian. Sometimes he also slips across the border into a Yorkshire accent as well.
Good grief, get your accent brain washed-out; Scottish, indeed! It's Lancashire...ish.
@@zarabada6125 "Lancastrian" means "from Lancashire".
@@greenaum it can also mean specifically "from Lancaster."
If you are talking about accents, "Lancastrian" would more commonly refer to the city than the county.
Compare the quality of this sketch with the absolute drivel that passes for comedy in 2023
Oh get over yourself. There's still great comedy being produced and I grew up with this show in my formative years
Not gonna lie, byt I honestly thought rimming was a new word, for the act that it refers too🫣
