i actually for work for some one like this 1hr hard work and 7hrs to myself with a half hour lunch break the catch is a 5hr round trip commute each day on public transport I can handle that
When he said "west-Berlin" and not just west in Berlin it suddenly hit me that Germany was still divided at the time of the filming of this scene... Puts things in perspective i think.
Those of us who grew up with two Berlins have to remember that it's just one now lol. But this is a great show! I think I've seen most of the episodes. Not sure.
Who would ever say "west in Berlin"? I mean, people say "South London" all the time, and the city isn't exactly divided. Also, all of Berlin (including West Berlin) was in East Germany; the division of the city was geographically (though not politically, of course) independent of the division of the country.
Find the one where Hugh plays as an interviewer who spends the night in some notable public figure's bed after interviewing them. It's hilarious. I think his character is called Steven Mosstin or something.
lol This reminds me of the Golgofrincham from The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy who liked to take baths all the time, only with sleep in its place. XD
Caius Cossades in Balmora vibes. "Before you meet the informant you'll be wanting to look around town, buy some armor, get the hang of enchantments and so on, maybe join a guild. You can sleep in my bed if you need to of course! Here's five hundred drakes..."
That guy's really got a knack for languages! I know Stephen's got German ancestry, but it's Hugh who's perfect at pronunciation. His "Ernst Schlesser" couldn't be any better: great r-sound, sharp s, and l not pronounced from the throat. And he didn't say Ernst like a Brit would pronounce the Er- in Ernest.
Me watching this at 1:00 am, when I know I have school tomorrow... I think this is definitely an obvious sign from the universe, telling me to go to bed. 😂
I'm sorry, i was a bit tired, and fell asleep during this video. Did i miss anything important, or should i just add it to my 'Watch later' list and move on. I really need to relax a little.
Do you mean the Swiss play from ABoFaL? I go along with you so far as Stephen may have a little clue what he is saying (he's the one who learnt the whole old languages canon at school). But I still think when it comes to pronunciation, Hugh can pronounce the sounds I mentioned above better and in the Swiss play, although Hugh messed up on the verb riechen, his sentence structure was by far harder than Stephen's.
Wow, most people commenting are all, 'I'd love to have that sort of boss!' Um... I wouldn't. I'd find this sort of comments from my boss extremely insulting.
Bloody sleeper agents
Oh. My. Good. I am so dense.

...oh my god, i’m a moron.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who needed this comment to get it.
Oh, now I get it hahaha
Mostly under cover work, is it?
Thank you so much.
Excellent!
You see, a long lie-down is key. As far down as possible, in fact.
One must lie low for however long it takes for the enemy to drop his guard.
Organising your schedule when you have severe depression
Wow. Way to hit me where it hurts.
or if you have narcolepsy
The importance of sleep can't be overstated.
Literally can't be overstated
This is actually an excellent strategy, be so consistently mad and relaxed that the enemy doesn’t suspect a thing.
'It was like you to say that Richard, very like you. In fact, I could have sworn it was you for a minute.' XD
I'll watch this after I take a nap.
travisbaskerfield Or you can take a nap after you watch this. You know what, I'm
gonna leave that kind of detail up to you.
@@FJB_USA_1ST I took a nap before I replied to this comment, my boss told me to do so.
Just in time for your after-nap nap
I’m going to take a nap before during and after 💤
Is your nap over yet? Did you have a good sleep?
Brings a new meaning to “a sleeper agent.”
Holy shit, you're right. That's likely the joke they were working off of.
Sounds exactly like something they'd play off of
of the off of
That's funny. Kudos to the one making it in the comments years ago
Where can i find a boss like this?
i actually for work for some one like this
1hr hard work and 7hrs to myself with a half hour lunch break
the catch is a 5hr round trip commute each day on public transport
I can handle that
I work for a Chinese firm. I get a 15 minute break every quarter of an hour.
Cristi Neagu I know right!
British government. they'll see you right
You can never be over-slept or over-considerate. - Stephen Fry, I imagine, at some point during the writing of this sketch.
Stephen Fry for Boss of the Year, anyone?
Might be a good idea, but until we're sure, we'd best sleep on it
When he said "west-Berlin" and not just west in Berlin it suddenly hit me that Germany was still divided at the time of the filming of this scene... Puts things in perspective i think.
Makes ya think.
Those of us who grew up with two Berlins have to remember that it's just one now lol. But this is a great show! I think I've seen most of the episodes. Not sure.
Your intelligence and culture startles me
@@sebastienh1100 Thanks

I wish my professors were this considerate.
This is the kind of laid back boss I've been looking for..
I find this weirdly relaxing. Must search for more sleep encouragement videos. Pretty niche though.
check out the Matt Berry relaxation podcast on RUclips
@Jesse Burns I’m watching this tucked up in bed 😊 goodnight 💤
The agent is a 'sleeper' geddit?
TheJamesBernie OHHHHHHHHH
I didn't ever get that until right now.
Who works “under cover”...
TheJamesBernie LOL! Brilliant! I didn't catch that until you said it.
‘Good, because you mustn’t!’
This made me burst out laughing
I don't think there's anything more lovely and pink and moist and fluffy and shiny and special than Stephen Fry
That's not what came to mind when I read those adjectives.
Those are some very unique adjectives to describe Stephen Fry.
Listen I know you posted this like almost 9 years ago. but what does this mean?
@@TheOverexplainerruclips.net/video/kzTTO6abhVo/видео.html
The most clashing tie and shirt combination the world has ever seen.
I was just admiring it and wanting it for myself…. I’ve seen worse
lol i love stephen's tie!!
"no time for shelves where you're going!" brilliant :)
"It's way past my bedtime."
Oh my gosh, how cute are you?
de-brief XD can't believe i didn't catch that before
4 minutes 19 second of laughing. I think I deserve a nap.
Click thumbs up before even a word is spoken with these two gentlemen. 💜
Stephen's tie!
Micah Newman I want it
Micah Newman looks like a beach ball
It’s gorgeous
hahaha hes a "sleeper agent"
OH MY GOODNESS!
Watching this sketch for the first time ever - and I'm in bed! Nighty night
Find the one where Hugh plays as an interviewer who spends the night in some notable public figure's bed after interviewing them. It's hilarious. I think his character is called Steven Mosstin or something.
It this series two of 'The Night Manager' ????
This is the prequel
Haha good one
I love Stephen's tie... so random.
This is Art!
Mission to Rest Berlin.
lol This reminds me of the Golgofrincham from The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy who liked to take baths all the time, only with sleep in its place. XD
It was just the captain ... 9 years is a long time, isn't t it. One is never alone with a rubber duck 🦆
Cheers 👍🏻🤝🏻🇳🇱
Heh he Stephen's everyone's ideal boss here :)
What I wouldn’t do for a boss like that
This is a great title.
The tie.
Aawww, now I want debriefing.
One well-rested job.
this is bloody genius...
the shelf line is phenomenal
Hugh in that outfit looks like House lol.. HUGH LAURIE IS HOT!!
Fancy a rest?
I don't know why that's so funny
now this is my *ideal boss*
Right, that video's sorted! Now I'll just go and have a bit of a lie down!
That job sounds good
If there's something worth doing it's worth doing tomorrow.
The hell is this? Live-action procrastination?
Sleeper agents at work...
Chris Fuentes Well, it’s
I love Stephen's jacket.
the perfect boss for an architecture student
It was archaeology and anthropology, wasn't it? 🤣
The perfect boss for anyone!
Brilliant humor
He totally gets Hugh with that last line.

I am SO qualified for this secret service
Dude, what a great job this would be! All expense paid sleep, naps, and lunch.
and that tie! ^^
as a highschooler, i cannot relate to this.
I'd love to have him as my boss!
Nice tie, Stephen!
Tony Murchison love your name :-)
I'm exhausted after watching that.
are there any openings in the British secret service? I like the jd
This is what kind of boss I want
Hugh Laurie was about to laugh @3:26 yeah?.. haha. HUGH LAURIE, AWESOME.. AWESOME! :)
A 20 minute drive that requires a stop over for a nap 😂😂. British secret service operatives sure fatigue very easily 😂
A lot can happen in 20 minutes! Episodes of Secret Agent (Danger Man) used to be over in 30!
This seems like a game show, a chat show, and a sketch about a headmaster or an escort agency all at once.
Escort agency?
Feel I need to get my head down after that little lot.
So handsome 😘
That guy's really got a knack for languages!
I know Stephen's got German ancestry, but it's Hugh who's perfect at pronunciation.
His "Ernst Schlesser" couldn't be any better: great r-sound, sharp s, and l not pronounced from the throat. And he didn't say Ernst like a Brit would pronounce the Er- in Ernest.
Stephen Fry look exactly like his Jewish Austro-Hungarian grandfather, just watch "Who Do You Think You Are?"...
This is my life...
Meanwhile Universities are like: well there are 24 hours in a day, aren't there?
Is that an exam question?
Jim Prideaux with very severe sleep apnoea.
My ears exploaded in the start...
Prague... Was 4 years ago...
this is how plan my schedules
Me watching this at 1:00 am, when I know I have school tomorrow... I think this is definitely an obvious sign from the universe, telling me to go to bed. 😂
*Is it small hearts of different colors on his tie?🧐*
What a dream job.
This life of cloak and dagger is about my speed.
Sounds like a kindly-phrased retirement, lol...
I’m watching this at 4am having to be up at 7am…….should I be sleeping?
this was shown in governments, not as a sketch, but an informative movie
Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie
As a former soldier I dreamt of orders of this kind. And Wolfgang actually sold Bratwursts.
I'm sorry, i was a bit tired, and fell asleep during this video. Did i miss anything important, or should i just add it to my 'Watch later' list and move on. I really need to relax a little.
This should be played at 0.75 speed
@tjf4375 yeh i was just gonna say how great it is to find a boss like this :)
Maybe I have a dirty mind but sometimes it sounded like Fry had a different agenda like this wolfgang guy is gonna take advantage on laurie
and apparently I've already made that comment... oh well!
I want to work for that employer.
Do you mean the Swiss play from ABoFaL?
I go along with you so far as Stephen may have a little clue what he is saying (he's the one who learnt the whole old languages canon at school).

British secret agents sure seem to require a lot of sleep!
The end was brilliant, why would audience shut up just then xD
How do I get this job?
His nose looks less crooked as he ages, for some reason it's the only thing I can focus on right now.
I don't get this sketch. Can someone enlighten me as to what is going on?
The music at the start is from a horror movie... is it Carpenter or Argento?!
Watching this actually made me feel tired...
"Wolfgang" sounds kind of menacing and exotic in English. Although really it is kind of a super-cheesy name. Just for info.
Wolvewalk :-D
Wow, most people commenting are all, 'I'd love to have that sort of boss!' Um... I wouldn't. I'd find this sort of comments from my boss extremely insulting.
Schedule for the spies suffering from ME
So this is what happens in the far future, when sloths evolve to take over the world, and have spies?
