For those who haven't seen the entire episode, the end credits roll over a shot of Hugh Laurie having fallen asleep in the chair, ending with Stephen Fry coming in with a chainsaw.
As a resident of Lincolnshire for most of my life, sadly, I may be the only one to get the possible joke as Hull is in fact VERY close to Linconshire :)
+modestMouseism For your seemingly advanced knowledge on the subject i would like to inquire if there are other known instances of such character being portrayed in a sketch for i have utterly enjoyed the use of english language demonstrated by said character in this sketch and would love to deepen my appreciation on the matter by beholding further examples of such speech.
abarenbou The Mister Dalliard sketches are quite like this in their similitude. Mister Fry portrays the kind of verbal frotting that likens him to a Nabokov character in my most humbleness of opinionings.
He is highly intellectual, and I'm not being facetious. I dread even the possibility of speaking to him, because the extent of my knowledge would disappoint him indefinitely
His use of language is obviously so comedic, at the edge of being some kind of linguistic kitsch. However, it is oh so deliciously exquisite. It wouldn't be practical in the slightest to speak like this, but everybody can incorporate a little bit of word extravagance into their everyday lingo. I love it ;)
I have a sneaking suspicion that all these shops are just fronts for some dubious illegal operation. They never expect people to actually come in, and do their best to get rid of the customer as quickly as possible.
@McJaews very astute, but there is also the fact that laughing is incurred from knowing that whatever happened or was said was in fact funny, and by eithesocial or even instinctual cues will laugh in reaction. Many a times myself, I've found myself saying whilst laughing gleefully, "What the hell?" in a manner of garnering elightenment to better enjoy the hilarities, or if it be an anecdote or action of some bizarre action, in general perplexity at said event.
"Not to mild neither". Am I uttermost mistaken or is this what in the trade is called a double negative which to those unknowing means two negations in one of the constructs we in a quite formal way most often call sentences. If my 'fore mentioned mistakeness is not carried on to this very point of my humble analysis of this mere snippet of the sketch seen above, then this would mean the mentioned meteorological condition was one of a superfluity of mildness.
There is a humor that is for laughing out loud at, and there is one that you quietly appreciate in your own mind. Both can be ultimately hilarious, in their own way :)
Actually @jls081188 is right. I used to watch the video of this series at a friends house all the time a few years back, and they did cut off the end. Where this clip ends, the credits start rolling with Hugh glancing back the whole time, and when the credits come to an end, Stephen bursts in and he does in fact have a chainsaw :) Classic sketch, classic comedy
@meandmoreme his limp isnt real.... he puts it on to play house. and this was in the 80's. way way way before the people who dreamed up the show had probably left high school!
He does come back with a chainsaw. Hugh is sleeping in the chair, the credits are rolling and Stephan comes back with a chainsaw. Why it was cut off is beyond me. You'll have to ask Kolkava.
What's with all the haircut sketches? Monty Python, Fry & Laurie, Mr.Bean... can anyone else think of any other comedy groups that did haircut sketches?
The line "very pleasant, thank you; thank you sir!" reminds me of a conversation i had with a chatbot.... "do you mind if i tell other people: human said i wont" "no i don't" "do you mind if i tell other people human said i will not? not? do you mind if i tell other people human said human dont."
@Fortevn Laughing at something that you do not understand does not make you an idiot. At most times, when people laugh at what they don't understand, they do however seem like idiots, but are perhaps merely nervous in an uncomfortable situation, and seek to resolve it through a display of uplifted emotion and search of the approval of others in their actions.
I would be immeasurably pleased, sirs and madams, if daily conversation unfolded in the method and styling as we perceive it within this fascinating internet video.
But it would undoubtedly handicap the good sirs and madams' ability to communicate simple orally expressed messages, like this particular message. A conversation unfolding likewise would ultimately result in the estrangement of the kind, commonly known as "humans" P.S. I am indeed quite sorry to inform you, that I do in fact find myself struggling with communication, after deciding to speak like a "gentleman" for I am but a mere foreigner, from the foreign and mysterious lands of Eastern Europe. (Seriously, dude, this took like 10 minutes to write... I am on board with spelling correctly, but man this is fucking hard hahahah)
TheYorkMan If such scissoring in its shrewdness and follie somehow survives the society's gangrenous purge of its implicit complicity which pricks and tickles our gentle fancy for the tabooish enjoyment of orgasmic felicity: the trembling and squirming of effervescent brain juices, the moans and sighs of all the surreptitious, long-waited syllables...I'm afraid I've failed to see why the fuck not.
It would appear as though you have obstructed the in its so farness so eloquent and most articulate of on-screen word exchangements a young herring such as my own eveningly seated self may in his ongoingly current and contaporary presence eye-sightedly preceive and have its deepest meaning-cavities thought-penetrated, if you grant a pardoning to this inconveniently fruitful or indeed gooseberrious expressage.

The barber shop is clearly at the other end of the model airplane store and the barber just heard, 'Mr. Dalliard, we have been activated!'
For those who haven't seen the entire episode, the end credits roll over a shot of Hugh Laurie having fallen asleep in the chair, ending with Stephen Fry coming in with a chainsaw.
From which episode is this from?
@@SperryACHI th-cam.com/video/CwrbiSJVWBY/w-d-xo.html
S1, e1. Its the last sketch
I feared as much.
That's brilliant.
Talk about encutment!
"Maybe favor me with an explanation as to the whyness" is so perfectly and absurdly prolix it takes me back to law school
0:28, that towel drop and pick up improv even had Laurie almost burst out... brilliant Fry!
good eye! I've seen this episode several times over the years and I never noticed that!
Very good eye! 🙌
I saw that too, it was brilliant!
I do love Hugh and Stephen's wordy sketches, they're just fantastic.
I was resisting cracking up so as to not miss anything, but I finally lost it at "whyness". XD
As a resident of Lincolnshire for most of my life, sadly, I may be the only one to get the possible joke as Hull is in fact VERY close to Linconshire :)
To quote Jimmy Carr: "I know you think you're doing a voice, Stephen, but this is how you talk."
Laurie chuckles when Fry drops the towel but rescues it with his foot !!
"Jeeves on crack", Stephen Fry used to call this character.

modestMouseism where did he say that? I 'd love to see an interview with him about this show.
abarenbou The Mister Dalliard sketches are quite like this in their similitude. Mister Fry portrays the kind of verbal frotting that likens him to a Nabokov character in my most humbleness of opinionings.
"If sir would care to resume the seatedness of his posture"😂
I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this-never get tired.
I imagined that Stephen might have cut each strand of hair individually, and then charged Hugh by the strand.
A haircut = Traveling to distant lands in a journey from one might never return from.
So true.
I use that “both difficult ... and impossible” line all the time.
They did not specify whether the hair inquestion is on top of Hugh's head.
I seem to recall that the amount of hair to be cut that Hugh specified was indeed, and I quote, "all of them."
EndlessVacuum
I hope Fry uses a different set of razors and scissors for the manscaping.
germanvisitor2 stephen did specify 'sirs crisp and twinkling headdage'
YES! it could be his hair but some he bought from another person!
I deeply enjoyed the funniness of this video.
This is so amazing. Stephen is brilliant.
How on earth did Stephen Fry remember all those lines?
I think it's partly, if not largely, improvised. Besides, it's not too different from how the great man usually talks.
Well he wrote it himself. That helps
He is highly intellectual, and I'm not being facetious. I dread even the possibility of speaking to him, because the extent of my knowledge would disappoint him indefinitely
Mior Akif ok bud
Nigel Hawthorne aka sir Humphrey has some notes on that.
The best one yet!!!!
They didn't show him returning with a chain saw. One might almost see Jeeves in the works.
This character has more than a grain of truth to him. I sometimes have to edit documents written in this style.
His use of language is obviously so comedic, at the edge of being some kind of linguistic kitsch. However, it is oh so deliciously exquisite. It wouldn't be practical in the slightest to speak like this, but everybody can incorporate a little bit of word extravagance into their everyday lingo. I love it ;)
MrCorvusC Allow me to offer you my most sincere contrafibularities for that
@@sfex9 I am anespeptic, phrasmotic, even compunctious to have caused you such pericombobulation.
I learnt more vocabulary in this 5 minute video than 12 years of schooling.
I have a sneaking suspicion that all these shops are just fronts for some dubious illegal operation. They never expect people to actually come in, and do their best to get rid of the customer as quickly as possible.
"it's going to be a chainsaw" get out of my head, hugh. XD
Steve Fry's exaggerated nominalizations are hillarious
I totally forget where, but I read once someone describing Stephen's performance as "Jeeves on crack". They're 100% right!!
Jeeves after a massive head injury.
AND crack.
This is lovely
for the purposes of securing an encutment
i love how Stephen Fry talks!
where's Mr. Dalliard
fry makes so many of those devilish turns of phrase, like "it was not only difficult but impossible," he's like yogi berra except on purpose.
I didn't even know 'encutment' was a word.
+Abe Grimm It's a perfectly cromulent word...
Let me, then, simply offer my most sincere contrafibularities.
Only if they are offered interfrastically.
if yr serious, i doubt it is. neologism, id majin like 'adviselment'
D4K44R1 Enough of these pericombobulations
Stephen Fry you sexy beast !
@McJaews very astute, but there is also the fact that laughing is incurred from knowing that whatever happened or was said was in fact funny, and by eithesocial or even instinctual cues will laugh in reaction.

My god Stephen Fry is an unbelievable guy so talented 👏funny.
I cannot fathom the nature of people projecting their mouse clicks on the dislike button of the internet video I just witnessed.
The ways of some people are unfathomable; forgive them for, when it comes to the whyness, they know not what they are doing.
I love the ending
Young Hugh Laurie was pretty damn good looking. (Also, his mannerisms fit House to a tee.)
Everytime Laurie says good morning I have an urge to call Mr. Dalliard.
WE'VE BEEN ACTIVATED!!!
@@dars5229
Let's detonate our relatives and fly to Dover!
Is this a homage to Monty Python? In which they couldn't think of a way to end the sketch with the crazy barber, hence the lumberjack song.
I'm going to head to England now XD
I started to get Humphrey flashbacks.
@IcEye89 Sir I am chastened and bowed, ever the man of affairs sir has reminded us all, all, of our duty...
it's a freakin classic
I didn’t laugh out loud at any point of this. Yet I find it incredibly humorous and entertaining. Go figure.
There is a humor that is for laughing out loud at, and there is one that you quietly appreciate in your own mind. Both can be ultimately hilarious, in their own way :)
@@Quicksilver_Cookie Very insightful comment
Then I take it sir, that you were not within the boundaries of Lincolnshire, where I understand, it rained like a bitch.
channeling every pretentious English major during sophomore year
And quite a few of us natural born aspies : )
his hair totally changed from the beginning when he was standing to when he sat in the chair haha..

genius....pure genius
@meandmoreme his limp isnt real.... he puts it on to play house. and this was in the 80's. way way way before the people who dreamed up the show had probably left high school!
He did return with a chainsaw, after the credits
''Very pleasant,thank you' Thank you sir'
I have no idea what is going on and it's hilarious.
He does come back with a chainsaw. Hugh is sleeping in the chair, the credits are rolling and Stephan comes back with a chainsaw. Why it was cut off is beyond me. You'll have to ask Kolkava.
Fry is amazing. At inkings and with tunglet.
Jeeves on Coke would probably be more, if not 100% accurate XD
I like British humor!
I opened this video hoping to learn some phrases that can be used in a barbershop (trying to improve my English)
Clearly that didn't work out well 😂😂😂
"can I have a haircut"
the hairdresser reminds me of Data in Star Trek
Dr House had some weird friends back in the day...
That's why he doesn't shave.
It actually would have been very funny if it was a chainsaw. xD
far from being a problem,sir! hahaha
how old are these eps , early 80s ?
Late 80s/early 90s.
@fragman08 No, it's Stephen. Look it up on IMDB.
Thanks!!!
cool haircut i must admit!
What is the point of leaving off the end of the sketch?
Wow! Hugh laurie was hairy!
Encutment. Lmao
Sammok Kabasi cuttation!!
Well that'll just be showing off ^^
new series petition?
my English is really bad. can somebody explain what they are talking about...
:D My English is pretty good and I don't have the slightest idea either.
And so is theirs.
globetrekkerboon not really, no. It's only funny if your English comprehension is very good. They're just talking about a haircut.
Most British humor is... talking about mundane things in a nonsensical manner. This here is a fine example.
"End," not "Win," I think.
Am I the only person weirded out about the Fry unbuttoning Laurie's jacket at the beginning? Is that just a British thing?
looks like a barber or valet thing to me
Extra points for "encutment".
If I sat down and had a barber behave as such I would freak the fuck out
If Sir will fail to slash my Throatlet for being so old!!!! :-D
When someone asks me ""Do you speak English"" I will not answer ""I do"" enymore.
What's with all the haircut sketches? Monty Python, Fry & Laurie, Mr.Bean... can anyone else think of any other comedy groups that did haircut sketches?
chaplin
If ever a superior alien race communicates with us, we should send Fry to meet them as a representative of the human race.
woah! his limp is gone!
Hahahaha!!!!!
The line "very pleasant, thank you; thank you sir!" reminds me of a conversation i had with a chatbot....
"do you mind if i tell other people: human said i wont"
"no i don't"
"do you mind if i tell other people human said i will not? not? do you mind if i tell other people human said human dont."
Better than snl skits
@jls081188 No they didn't. The idea was that Stephen never came back.
If you're referring to the credits scene, yes they did. He came back.
For some reason I assumed he was going to bring a small goat or something to bit his hair off.....
Oh well.
Kim Jong-FUN Laurie fell asleep. Fry brought in a chain saw. Laurie ran.
Upload was cut off. It didn't run long enough.
If sir would care to resume the seatingness of his posture :D

This video has the wrong name. It should be "Bitchmother Come Light My Bottom". xD

Tch, people trying to be funny by chucking big old era words here and there. How clever.
Yeah, well, and what exactly has been _your_ contribution, apart from being agonizingly negative?
Difficult *and* impossible?...
As to the whyness. omg. dead.
@meandmoreme /facepalm this was BEFORE he was House.
lol... let's send him AND a cd with music by Bach. Then they will have no choice but to worship us as gods :P
@phoenixrisinghigh yea i know just foolin around
