If you'll pardon the pun, here is even more "A Bit of Fry & Laurie" here: bit.ly/2OJKqZD
What pun?
@@oscart7827 Wasn't there one? Oh, nevermind.
@@oscart7827 That pun.
What happened to him introducing himself as Oprah Winfrey?
"Let's have a POINTLESS around of applause " 0:53 hehe only just notice that
Those rounds of applause are very prevalent on USA TV.
@@Sumtinrandom haha yes they are! they annoy the hell out of me
"I love my hideous, suffocating self-pity", gets me every time!
Let’s have a pointless round of applause
LMAO
I too suffer from low self-esteem, which is a shame, as I am otherwise quite brilliant, wonderful, and a joy to know.
🤗
Well, that's why the Imposter Syndrome was inventing and quickly gave "mansplaining" a run for its money in the race for most inane. In a nutshell (where it belongs), the imposter syndrome is being unable to accept that you are as brilliant and talented as you REALLY are.
What a shame the intro has been cut where Fry introduces himself as Oprah Winfrey, it sets up the whole premise of the sketch.
Chris M i believe he pronounced it “opera” which adds a whole lot
Thought for the Day . If you read my comment, that certainly would have been the icing on the 🍰 lol. So funny.
I think copyright or suey sue
Opera Winfrey*
@@llcdrdndgrbd Even better since apparently Oprah was SUPPOSED to be named Opera but her name was misspelled either by her parents or by the clerk on her birth certificate.
The funniest part for me is when Hugh says “No, hey, look, I’m serious” 😂
"Right, well, I think we'd better take a vomit break now but don't go away."
I "liked" this simply for how prophetic it is. Life has truly imitated satire
There has always been people like that, you know? They are making fun of the people who went on shows like Oprah and so on. So, life was already like that, just not to the amount it is now.
@@dudanunesbleff or maybe it was always like this to the same amount, we just have the means to see it more often because of the internet.
@@dimitrijekrstic7567 it's definitely at least a bit because of the internet. In the early days of blogging there were loads of teenagers oblivious to the fact that everybody that age is insecure and emotional all the time.
It wasn't until we got actual social media like Facebook and MySpace that people began to realise and it took them years.
At least now we know it's cliche, or as the kids would say "cringe" and we can make fun of people who say things like this.
I think my favourite part of this is when he says "can I answer that with a question?", then just doesn't ask a question
"I love me, I love my whining agression" - I've never seen more accurate depiction of modern "love yourself" culture .
I have watched nearly all of their sketches, but I think this one is their best sketch. Not only funny, but also awe-strikingly relevant.
I've watched just 3 or 4 clips so far and this is streets ahead of anything SNL and similar shows have been in 20 years! they should put them back on tv somewhere!
BauerPower2012 streets ahead good one
BauerPower2012 Streets ahead? Community by any chance?
British humour is the best :)
They've both been in television for decades , even now .........
Yes! Along with Alas Smith&Jones.
Hugh is just so amazingly talented. This American accent sounds nothing like his House MD American accent😊
Pretty much 85% people on social media.
And 100% of the current United States Presidents.
Is it ok if I say true?
Stephen Fry really does seem to me like the reincarnation of Oscar Wilde.
Ikr?
Tall, gay, witty, fashionable
Similar hairstyles as well
And let's not forget, Fry did play the eponymous character in "Wilde".
+Dhruv Golani lol
+Dhruv Golani True true true, guess that's why he inspires me so much!
Not Wilde, not in this clip, though you did get the initials O. W. right. Inexplicably the BBC thought it best to mutilate the sketch by cutting out Stephen's opening line in which he introduced himself as Oprah Winfrey.
Dude, I have had that exact thought for years. Wow.
Prophetic sketch.
actually not very prophetic, it was funny for the same reasons now as it was when it was made, although, perhaps the problem is somewhat worse
Hugh Laurie makes a strangely attractive woman
Michael Heffernan Not at all!
+Brian Bingham Both, both!
+Coco Chanelleke Definitely not,no!
Well as far as I'm concerned - I wouldn't welcome any such spoilt gender in my humble home ;)
P.S.: or I would at first, and then lose my temper if they treat the place as a hotel. (Edited this at least three times ;) )
More strange than attractive :-))
Her best quality is her modesty.
This show got me through my first year at University.
And then the rest.
Laughed so much, tears came out. My husband asked if I was okay, and then he got the giggles too.
Hugh Laurie's american accent has been great since day one
Imagine actual talk shows would be as brutally honest as this sketch. Humanity would be so much better for it.
"a vomit break" hahaha
2:08 Introspection. And I love that she needed to take her clothes off to do it 😂
"What seems to be the problem Luella?"
Me: Well it's not Lupus...
Sarcoidosis
@@ReeceReece32 @Reece Holtz She doesn't seem to be jaundice in any way, but sure. We'll base the diagnosis on your guess so you can go home and high five yourself for a job well done. You British are all the same, what does Cameron see in you.
It's not sarcoidosis.
'Let's take a vomit break now' XD LOL
This woman is so humble
Ah! The pointless round of applause! The reason I shrink from daytime TV. And most other TV.
But at least you get a vomit break.
I think you're both just so brave to come out with those words.
#applause#
@@MisterAppleEsq lmao!
Don't watch it then!
Did you recognize Emma Thompson's mother? (the lady that asked the question). She also appears in Peter's friends, Much ado about nothing, Nanny McPhee, etc
In Sense and Sensibility, to
I don't think its her. Her smile seems different somehow
@@newlife.vanessacalfan She's uncredited in this sketch, but It is her. Phyllida Law.
These guys are the epitome of intelligent humor.
This used to be a joke.
There have always been people like this, unless there's something I'm missing.
@@fruitygarlic3601 Of course, it's just that their numbers have skyrocketed and their behaviour has been not only normalised but set as the gold standard for emulating.
@@Vesnicie It is also that with social media and reality TV they are praised and put on a pedestal for their inanity.
what exactly are you refering to, OP? please tell us how exactly your apparently astute, yet strangely vague comment relates to today.
@@Micho55 How do you get the internet under that rock where you apparently live? All you have to do is look at a huge chuck of RUclips videos, which are about people claiming to have low self-esteem yet convinced they are interesting enough top demand attention on the forum. Instagram and Twitter is also full of the same kind of behavior.
What confuses me more is how something so incredibly obvious as my comment could appear vague to anyone.
hmm, that's an absolute bugger isn't it
God I love Stephen Fry XD
@-- He would indeed lol
"Right, well i think we'd better take a vomit break now" 😂
This is about 97% of the population of Tumblr
charly88888888 I love how true to the future this is...
👌🏿
And twitter
Julz XD what future? They were parodying talk shows that were present at the time.
@@BlackCat-vf7th that may be, but being a twat is eternal
Hugh Laurie practicing his accent for house
This is way ahead of its time.this would be an actual chat show now. Let's have a pointless round of applause followed by a vomit break.
It was an actual chat show. Oprah first aired in 1986 and ran for 25 years.
i've never known about HUgh Laurie before "House MD" and... well, Stuart Little. it never aired on tv where i live (not in UK obviously). but this is such a fresh discover to see Laurie in those sketches! \o/
Definitely check out Jeeves and Wooster too
In 2021, this is a serious BBC program.
Every time I feel sorry for myself, I see this video. Puts me in my place 😐
Wow, this footage from the early years of Gina from Brooklin 99 is great
I loved these Fry & Laurie episodes!!
Bloody hell i just realized the alarming number of Louellas i know !
The link to this video in an email is going to save me many interventions.
They cut out his opening line: "Hello. I'm Opera [sic] Winfrey."
Good to know! I'd like to know where to watch the original sketch... :)
Opera threatened to sue
"Where the mascared arse?" Xzd
Absolute visionaries!!!
"I think we'd better take a vomit break now". :-))))))))))))))))))))))
if not for the series House, I wouldn't have known about Hugh's talents and success in Britain.
God, Stephen's gorgeous 💕
Oh Hugh and Steven are great.
Yes, they were.
Hey, you! I see you a lot.
Mister Apple I don't know who you're talking to, but hi :D
I meant Úna, but hi!
Sometimes we all need to be a bit like her 😂
"A Vomit Break". Brilliant!
It was ahead of its time this sketch
Love Stephen to bits, such a lovely man. Hugh makes me feel uneasy though. I’ve noticed his voice in this is the same as Dr Houses. 😂
Fry and Laurie are the funniest people ever oh my goodness
Wow! The presenter of this 2019 serious talk show looks a lot like a young Stephen Fry
They ARE distantly related, apparently !
Lol..yup..nailed it
Where the marscared arse?! 😂😂😂
Was Hugh Laurie doing an American accent without being obvious?
If yes... then in words of the dowager countess of Grantham " everytime I meet an American I am reminded of virtues of the English".
Fuck da English
This show is one more reason i wish i grew up in GB.
If you like their style you should also check out Mitchell and Webb. They are a more modern version and were also members of the footlights
Oh you will, m'dear. You will.
Hugh's character reminds me of Kristen Wiig on SNL!
Literally the best pair ever, just like Laurel & Hardy exept a modern version lol 💖
Believe it or not, this was exactly what I needed to hear today
let's have a pointless round of applause there... brilliant!
This video seems rather topical atm 😂
This is amazing :)
Twitter personified. Absolutely amazing. The comedy of Fry and Laurie has somewhat aged, but the themes are absolutely spot on to this day.
"has somewhat aged"
Has it ? I never noticed...............................
@@marvinc9994 Sarcasm is timeless.
Wish they brought this back.
I can't believe how relative this still is, in 2018.
Nothing has changed 😂
This joke has become reality in 2019.
Early Kardashian....
Luella de la Tweet ;-)
Stephen Fry was a good looking lad back in the day.
How unbearably tense!
Hugh laurie sounds like the actor Jimmy stewart
I love Hugh Laurie as a comic xD
A vomit break 😂😂😂 British comedy rules!
Hugh Laurie's character in this sketch encompasses just about every fume sniffing Twitter user on the planet today
That is priceless stuff. Absolutely hilarious.
Those last tips sounded good to me tbh.
Why is the beginning cut off? He's supposed to say "Hello, I'm Opera Winfrey..." 😂
That’s either the guy who played House, Hugh Laurie or the guy who played Stuart, Michael James MacDonald.
I needed that break.
Definitely right when he says he is sexy 😊
If you want insight into the depth of a friend's level of self-esteem.., or, lack thereof, go to their FB page and count the number of photos they have posted of themselves.
What means what?
I really miss those guys and those days perfectly written 💞✝️🤘🙏🏻💕🏴
Only modern thing "she" didn't say is that she is on a "Journey" ..lol
"Thank god it's not lupus."
This is me tbh😂
I Love them 😂
Love how Hugh shaved his legs for one sketch 0:05
I have found my spirit animal
I wish he dressed like this in at least one episode of House MD, coz he did so many funny things like this on that Show!
You cut the beginning off xD
Years ahead of it's time.
No, it wasn't. It was reality at that time.
I actually relate
A prophecy that came true.
Curls the colon!
I remember when Sue Lawley slaughtered the real Hugh Laurie on Desert Island Discs for his low self esteem. In his pre-House days. Hugh had the last laugh.
"Sue Lawley"
And where is SHE now ?
