"-How do you spell (drops pen) ?
-It's as it sounds."
May I just say that's ingenious?
That's what Karl Valentin already had his Mr. Wrdlbrmpft answer 100 years ago when asked how that's spelled.
No its a lighter not a pen 🤣🤣
YO,
Yea, that’s why they did it
Aww, they cut out the best part!
"NEVER MIND ABOUT THE BLASTED SKETCH, THAT REALLY HURT!"
+DarthRushy He's a child, really.
Aww didums....
Oh, man! That would have been great!
I always love that breaking character in their sketches sounds as if it's actually part of the sketch XD
@@gabe_s_videos it is apart of the sketch. Its how they try to create comedy
That's gonna be the life of Elon Musk's new baby.
😁😁😁😁😁
It's as it sounds

To me, this is Monty Python-level funny. One of the best skits to come out of any/all skit shows.
you mean very selectively funny? yes. better most times though.
I can totally see what you mean, the whole style of it
Definitely!!
Bloody luxury. We lived in hole in the ground. We was evicted from our hole
I know
It's so hard to watch House after watching this... I keep expecting House to do a tap dance and whack Wilson in the face with his cane
The Meh Yes well that would be highly amusing... but every once in a while Dr. House gets silly anyway
I know! I love House and all, but there isn't nearly enough Hugh Laurie Dressed As A Woman.
XD
To be fair, that wouldn't be too out of character for House.
The Meh THIS--is why I can never take Hugh seriously, when he Try's--to act in natural character parts. I've only watched a couple of minutes of Head, and I had to switch off, because I keep thinking of his idiot characters seen here and in Black Adder. I saw him for the very first time--on a TV add, about 25 years ago, which was very funny. I think that set the seal.
Fry and Laurie really excel in combining acutely observed comedy with a refreshing dollop of silliness! Never fail to make me laugh!
I bet it's Welsh.
It's certainly got a lot of consonants.
I thought that was a roll of quarters ! because then he'd be buying the guy's silence.
He dances like a welshman
brankocollin NFL
If your face is bot drenched with saliva, it’s not Welsh.
Most dramatic actor in America... but the minute his British accent comes on, he's the funniest actor in the world!
bit late but Hugh Laurie is british-
@@ohhello1809only took 12 years for a reply
@@mrastronomer just a little bit late
@@ohhello1809 yup but still waiting
I remember this from my teenage days and can almost recite the whole sketch from that memory. And it ends after this clip with Hugh saying "That REALLY hurt. No, really. That REALLY hurt!!"
I acted this out for my mom once, and she was practically crying from laughing so hard. Now I must forward this to her so she can see the masters at work. I can't send it to her job b/c she'll be giggling too much, so I'm sending it to her at home.
Love ya mom, Mr. Fry and Mr. Laurie.
:D
*mUm
I absolutely love these two together. This is pure genius!
"Have you gone mad?" This question is coming from the man named Derrick Nippl-e residing at 22 Dooby De Doo Doo Kingslin!
I think you'll find he lives at 22 Dooby De Doo Doo *Slap* Kingslynn.
King’s Lynn
@Monty Python the Flying Circus That's odd. I thought it was dooby de doo doo (cricket bat to the head) King's Lynn
The genius of Hugh Laurie is not only in his ability portray the attitude and accent of an American character...but, more impressively, in his brilliant comedic ability in both American and British HUMOR, which are obviously two very different brands of humor. There are some other British actors who can convincingly portray Americans, and vice verse with American actors who can portray British characters...But, you're a little more hardpressed to find any actor, anywhere who can transition from one type of HUMOR to another. Changing accents and behaviors takes practice, but comedic ability requires more natural ability, and Hugh Laurie has natural ability in two very different brands of comedy.
I agree, he's definitely a national treasure (as is Fry)! On a side note, I don't think there are many American actors who can portray British characters well. In fact, only Meryl Streep, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Gwyneth Paltrow come to mind.
And as Fry once said, there's something delightfully "hittable" about Hugh. :-P
Why do you keep typing humour with all caps
@@beastvader Paltrow can barely act American nevermind British lmao
@@NominalInterest I meant in terms of the accent. Also it's so strange seeing a comment I made over 7 years ago, wow
Hugh was so handsome, and in my opinion he's aged very well.
I think I just died. This is real comedy. Light-hearted, clever comedy that doesn't alienate or offend anyone.
So many questions, I wasn't expecting the Spanish Inquisition!
Im spanish, but i dont understand your comment....🙃
@@Alfa-ku4pu It's a reference to a Monty Python sketch: someone asks a lot of questions, the other person replies "I wasn't expecting the Spanish Inquisition", and then a bunch of Inquisition priests shows up.
@@silvasilvasilva NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!!!!!!!!
One could imagine how Cleese and Palin would have done this in a Monty Python sketch.
@Monty Python the Flying Circus But Cleese and Palin performed the Fish Licence Sketch, Parrot Sketch, the Cheese Shop Sketch and the Pet Conversion Sketch.
Oh gosh, this is right up my lane, I love "A bit of Fry and Laurie" so freaking much.
This sketch is so very British. Not that I'm british but I would assume I'm right in this case, anybody who rejects can fight me.
This comment is so Azerbaijani.
I am dying laughing at this thread!
I would say that this couple is so very British :)
This is sketch is so clearly aztec, the way they hit each other before the endong is very normal in the aztec culture
One of the best sketches ever...the timing, how it evolves from tension to farce and how Fry schools Laurie into real comedy using a cricket bat!
Oh my god, I just inhaled a chunk of dinner when Stephen hit Hugh with the cricket bat! Freakin' hilarious!
Your address is 22 ...tapity tapity tap...punch...kings lin
Lols
Great comedy😄
King's Lynn its in Norfolk. I have no idea why they chose Lynn as i live there and it's bloody awful
Sketch 22.
I love Stephen Fry hitting Hugh Laurie i find it very calming.
Same punch as the Duke of Wellington and the Prince of Wales 😂
Nice but I could not help thinking about Blackadder, that scene in S03E06, Fry and Atkinson beating up Laurie to make a point, priceless.
TEEEEEEEEEEAAAAA!!!!
“WHY I HARDLY TOUCHED THE MAN!”
British sketches are always so brilliant!
Ok... Hugh Laurie is officially my favourite actor
As an American: Fry and Laurie is infinitely better than ALL American television.
+ Atkinson
Ayy a decent american
The adress part killed me so bad😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
These two have to be extremly high on the list of best comedy duo's ever :D
It's wild to see such young men, with Stephen Fry playing on "Bones" as Booth's Psychiatrist! How fun!
That was one of the funniest bits l have ever seen. Worthy of Monty Python.
Such a classic piece of comedy! Always makes me laugh to see these two perform on screen time and time again XD
Both absolutely brilliant actors
What a great actor he is. Finished watching 'The Night Manager ' last night. Great acting there too
Ah you Brits have the best humor. I watched this right after something depressing hoping that it would cheer me up and was laughing in moments.
According to the first time he says his name, I'd spell it "Derek Pimperton".
+littlegelland I had approximately the same thought!!
+J.A. Brown Stephen Fry is amazing as Professor House. Can't believe he is actually Nigerian. Just goes to show.
Jon Smith
I see what you did there.
Hugh Laurie is amazing. I never knew it was him who played the dad in Stuart Little. He's such an incredible actor and his American accent in House sounds so real!
AAWWWWWEE!!!! Little Baby Laurie is SO CUTE!!! :)
from some angle it looks like the best comedy i've ever seen
LOL! I love BBC. Hugh Laurie is so talented.
Can't believe these gentlemen predicted Elon's offspring
One of my favourite sketches.
They're on whole different lvl of comedy !!
They cut out the ending! Hugh Laurie says "that was too hard"
Then Stephen says something I can't remember and Hugh says "forget the bloody sketch that was too hard!"
Stephen "Oh did it? *turns to camera* he's just a child really"
I was laughing so hard I couldn't breath and there were tears coming out of my eyes this is so funny!
l can easily visualize them loosening it + laughing uncontrollably whenever l watch these 2 wonderful guys.
already seen it thousands of times but i'm still laughing as loud as the first one hahaha definitely my fav
Hey you alive?
Dr. House: "He clearly has a case of _tippety tap tap_ "
Thanks so much for sharing this, LOL my eyes are full of tears
These two were sooo brilliant!!
O God, I just died laughing!!!!
British humor was, is, and will be the best!! \m/
So much funnier than anything I have seen in a long time
I cannot think of a funnier sketch than this. I searched for years to fund it
I love this! It's so goofy and quick. Before you know it, you are hitting the replay button.
If I ever get the chance to get Hugh Laurie's autograph, and he says "Who shall I make it out to", I am going to do THIS bit!! BRILLIANT!!
My niece enjoys re-enacting this sketch and repeatedly hitting me with an imaginary cricket bat.
Absolutely brilliant!
Dr. House hit the griddy lmaoo
Featuring, Hugh "I really like cricket bats" Laurie
this is shockingly good
It lacks the best part, when Laurie breaks character and complains about being hit too hard. Fry tries to work it into the sketch but Laurie's not having any.
Oh gosh this is just brilliant!!
These guys are absolute legends!!!!!!!!!
Hugh laurie IS British. Its not an accent; actually for the role of house he just has an incredible American accent
makes me proud to be British watching this. I rarely laugh at anything these days but this sure did make me :-)
So simple, but so perfect.
2:53 He's gonna need an MRI after that. Sure hope it doesn't turn into Lupus or anything.
Nippl-e...has he met Wall-E?
They cut out the best bit. When Hugh says, "That was too hard" and Stephen says "It is a difficult address to spell sir" and he says, "Sod the sketch that was too hard, that really hurt" to which Stephen replies "Diddums"
Yer that’s the best part ! m.ruclips.net/video/1LopIroSjsU/видео.html 🏏🤕
^ thank you! :) I'm American and I love these two, Hugh is my hero
i love this type of comedy
Who's still watching this in 2015, except me? XD
+Alex Curtis 2029 for me.
+Elise M 1945 for me
Well, no. But in 2016
And in 2017. Brilliant!
2018 for me! I'm from the future +Happy Helene. I'm your son! dun dun duuun
Never mind the freaking sketch! That was too hard!
Both of these dudes are great!
Best comedy skit ever
When you finally notice this is dr house
Dr. House is god, even back in the day. HUGH LAURIE !
Laurie! Laurie!
OMG I LOVEEEEE HOUSE
This is definitely Dr. House in conceptual infancy
I love this sketch !
I've seen a lot but this .. This is the best
If he loses his chalk, he can't say his name. Now that's a disability.
😁😁😁😁
I always heard of this sketch from my family but I always thought it was a monty python sketch
***** No... although it's very Monty Python-ish :)
***** I know! It's brilliant (yay British words), I couldn't come up with something better if I tried!
Victoria Odegaard ya british words are the best thing ever, especially swears, they turn swearing into an artform
bloody brilliant.
I love this skit, gets me every time. Makes me want to pull this with one of my professor when they ask me to pronounce my name.
Why do a lot of these "BBCWorldwide" Bit of Fry and Laurie uploads cut to beginning or end off the sketches?
if I had a pound.... *brexit joke detected*
69 Submariner Clearly not since we are still stuck waiting for a good deal.
Great sketch!
this never gets old
You cut out the best part of the sketch
Aw, diddums.
TheJeCaSa do one
pre Doctor House fun
As a King’s Lynn resident, I can confirm that Mr Nippl-e is a local resident
😭
they're both great:)
Can't read my own handwriting...
fetus Hugh Laurie
love the visual comedy
It never gets old...
Anybody know where the sketch 'My Dear Boy' or as it is also called 'Nigel Carter' is? It used to be on youtube but has completely disappeared : ((
I want it back too! It's my second favourite Fry and Laurie sketch and I want to show it to my friend so badly... curse you BBC Worldwide!
this and Blackadder are the reasons why British comedy will always be superior to that of the US.
Exactly
i'm sure they really care
I wish I'd binge watched this on Netflix before it was taken off. I really wanted to finish watching the show. It's just so funny it cracks me up.
It's on Hulu now. :) So is Blackadder. ^_^
Buying this on DVD was one of the best purchases I've made
It's sketches like this which make me think I grew up in the wrong generation.
