Indeed! They are best of friends since college and Fry is Laurie's children's godfather and was his best man at his wedding. So they go back a long way :)
Those guys were just perfect together I would like to thank them for all their hard work making these sketches and for making our miserable little lives a little bit more enjoyable thanks guys and God Bless 💞✝️😘🤘💕
A Bit of Fry and Laurie is an all time comedy great show, it's one of the funniest ever on British television, hell world television, hits the spot perfectly, something for everyone, absolutely brilliant.
Hugh is one of the very best stooges, and Stephen plays his master so well.. it has an illusion of being flipped in Jeeves and Wooster, but Jeeves still manages to be the master. I knew I liked them, but watching this highlights so many ways in which they are truly great.
7:47 Stephen: They really were very funny, weren't they? Hugh: Yes. They were. *with an extremely straight face* Oh goodness I nearly died. Hugh sounded so sarcastic.
I feel like an episode of Poirot was filmed here. I have no memory or proof of this, I just can't stop thinking it! Love these two together and separately :)
11:20 They cop a bit of criticism for S4 of "A Bit of F & L" but this is arguably the best vox pop bit they did. "Don't Be Dirty!" is also an S4 classic.
Steven's vulnerability can really shine around Hugh. I never realized that before. They remind me of Kahneman & Tversky, the psychologists who got the nobel prize for telling the discipline of economics that humans are messy and game theory is sometimes shoddy as a result. Amos was the confident one, Danny the vulnerable one with all the big ideas. And they made each other laugh too!
Stephen Fry and Hugh Laury, Oliver Hardy and Stan Laurel, Bud Spencer and Terence Hill. All played gigantic together and also where best friends. Oh i forgot Nick Frost and Simon Pegg.
When talking about hitting hugh, i'm surprised they didnt show the cricket bat one, and the Formula 1 interview. Stephen cracks him on the jaw, and Fry's reaction is hilarious.
I think Hugh's accent has flattened just a bit after spending the majority of the last 8 years as American House. Not a lot, but a little. I noticed before that Jesse Spencer's Aussie accent had flattened from his years spent in the states, but Hugh's accent has too, just a little. I suspect he'll get it back.
You should, they're easily available. I have all of the "Fry and Laurie" AND "BlackAdder" episodes on Amazon Instant Video and "Jeeves and Wooster" on DVD. If you don't feel like paying for it right away, there are lots and LOTS of youtube clips from "F&L" and "Blackadder." (Or Black Adder, I can never remember which is right.)
@Dedeurklink Yeah, I suppose you can't be truly funny unless you've experienced that kind of tragedy. It's all about perspective. Emma Thompson is lovely. I think outside the UK, her comedic talents are a llittle overshadowed by her dramatic roles, but her comedy has this great abandon that is just so totally infectious
@JustAKidInTheHall Just type "Hugh Laurie piano" (on youtube) and something about Piano Masterclass will come up on search results. That is the full video. =D It's great!
@PoureTheChampagne Seeing as Laurie mentioned how early he gets up when filming for house during the drive over part of the program, I'd say that's cuz he's used to getting up and doing an American accent for a whole day.
I think Fry was playing with Diablo back in the day, as they say. We had Rowen and Martin, Bing Crosby and Bob Hope, Cheech and Chong, Key and Peele, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis but none of them attended Oxford.
2:32 "I think, like most schoolboys, my first contact with Stephen Fry/Hugh Laurie was Black Adder" Depends when those schoolboys were schoolboys, Daniel. Bellend.
Unecessarily mean. I was introduced to Monty Python and Derek and Clive, by my school friend's older brother about 15-20 years _after_ they were first on TV, and Blackadder when I was still only 12. Like MP, Blackadder is eminently quotable, so makes perfect sense to be beloved by schoolboys (and girls) who love quoting swathes of it at each other. Teenage years are a great time for first discovering comedy and music. Let him be, ffs.
Hugh Laurie seems to be able to make Stephen Fry laugh like nobody else.
When Stephen can’t stop laughing at everything. That’s true friendship right there
Fry punching Laurie never fails to crack me up. Emma is right, there's something special about watching it. Hysterical.
Their deep appreciation of one another is so evident, it's beautiful
Indeed! They are best of friends since college and Fry is Laurie's children's godfather and was his best man at his wedding. So they go back a long way :)
I could VERY easily listen to those 2 great fellows converse for HOURS!!!
Well, go ahead!
Oh me too, the pair of them are so intelligent funny and interesting
Those guys were just perfect together I would like to thank them for all their hard work making these sketches and for making our miserable little lives a little bit more enjoyable thanks guys and God Bless 💞✝️😘🤘💕
Wow! That is definitely in my Top 5 Hungarian hypnotist impressions of all time list
The vastness of their vocabulary is so magnificent.!
"it's much easier to hit....... than to be hit" - Stephen Fry
Hugh Laurie: *fascinated*.
A Bit of Fry and Laurie is an all time comedy great show, it's one of the funniest ever on British television, hell world television, hits the spot perfectly, something for everyone, absolutely brilliant.
Fry you don't ever look smug. You look so kind and warm.
I LOVE how they NEVER let a sexual innuendo go by without riding on it for a while :D
All comedians have a inner teenagers xD
Everybody loves a ride
Hugh is one of the very best stooges, and Stephen plays his master so well.. it has an illusion of being flipped in Jeeves and Wooster, but Jeeves still manages to be the master.
I knew I liked them, but watching this highlights so many ways in which they are truly great.
Stephen and hugh are my all time favourite comedians thanks for all the humour 😀
It does really seem like Stephen truly loves Hugh.
Yeah deffo; it is utterly brotherly!
It's a bit extra😁
It's astounding how much
Hugh's accent has Americanised
Oh, I am still laughing at Hugh Laurie as the football coach teaching the little kids how to fake a fall -- HIL-arious!! (Minute 4:42)
7:47
Stephen: They really were very funny, weren't they?
Hugh: Yes. They were. *with an extremely straight face*
Oh goodness I nearly died. Hugh sounded so sarcastic.
stephen's singing bit turned out so awesome :D
I love that Fry and Laurie, The Fast Show and The Mighty Boosh all lived in the same house after each other.
I agree with Stephen. Hugh Laurie can take a slapstick hit so well. Sells it perfectly every time.
Gives me pure joy, to watch these guys!!!
Wonderfully funny and so smart.
“I tell my outreach classes, please stop hitting me” 😂
Emma + Hugh + Stephen
Three of my favourite people to Watch and laugh with ❤
the best of the best love them both a grey day always made happy with a re-run
Their friendship is older than me😂😂
I absolutely Love House MD but wonder what might have been if Laurie had stayed in comedy.
I feel like an episode of Poirot was filmed here. I have no memory or proof of this, I just can't stop thinking it!
Love these two together and separately :)
Three Act Tragedy. I thought the same thing as soon as I saw it.
Location was Eltham Palace.
Thank you for posting this show, I was really sad when I couldn't watch it on the telly!
I can totally imagine the Mighty Boosh laying eggs for some reason...
Anyway thank you so much for uploading this! It's very touching. :)
11:20 They cop a bit of criticism for S4 of "A Bit of F & L" but this is arguably the best vox pop bit they did. "Don't Be Dirty!" is also an S4 classic.
Good ol' Stephen playing on his iPhone. You can't stop the man and his gadgets!
I can't believe I haven't seen any of these shows... Because they look really, really funny.
Have you watched them now?
"Why Crete? Could have been Basingstoke." Basingstoke is a major punchline in a Gilbert and Sullivan musical from over a century ago!
10:57 exactlty the definition of me. "You look so sad? You ok?" *was literally thinking about cake and dessert coming later* lol makes me laugh
I live about 10 mins away from there old house,, I wish I knew at the time! lol
Haha, I almost feel like Stephen Moffat modelled the eleventh Doctor entirely off the sketch.
Steven's vulnerability can really shine around Hugh. I never realized that before.
They remind me of Kahneman & Tversky, the psychologists who got the nobel prize for telling the discipline of economics that humans are messy and game theory is sometimes shoddy as a result.

who thinks fry looks great as a teenager ?
Stephen Fry and Hugh Laury, Oliver Hardy and Stan Laurel, Bud Spencer and Terence Hill. All played gigantic together and also where best friends. Oh i forgot Nick Frost and Simon Pegg.
Thank you!

@JustAKidInTheHall No prob. Hope you enjoy, it's brilliant =D
Fantastic to know that that’s the flat The Might Boosh has been shot in. Had to be 😂
8:16 yes.. "painting" that's what that hand gesture is.
You should, they're easily available. I have all of the "Fry and Laurie" AND "BlackAdder" episodes on Amazon Instant Video and "Jeeves and Wooster" on DVD. If you don't feel like paying for it right away, there are lots and LOTS of youtube clips from "F&L" and "Blackadder." (Or Black Adder, I can never remember which is right.)
The first one is named "The Black Adder", and the three after that are "Blackadder 2", "Blackadder the Third" and "Blackadder goes forth".
@dexterquotidian his grandpa was Hungarian so he says that's his favorite accent :)
mind = blown
Stephen's laugh at around 2:00 had me in tears. Either it's hilarious, or I'm too easily amused.
1:20. Oh my god l'm crying. If l died now l wouldn't even care. 😂😅😂😅
The Mighty Boosh live in Fry & Laurie's old house?! :D I'm so happy right now!
Exactly! I find it so satisfying to find out about this connection between two of my favorite comedy duos
Weren't they also in a show called 'Jeeves and Wooster'?
Yes
They _were_ Jeeves and Wooster!
That's what good friends are for. : )
9:20 That noise tho
wow...they created a magical flat!
I love Stephen and Hugh but why the hell is an ad for Tron on the top of the suggestion list?
When S sings some of the words sound a bit German, the hypnotist's programming no doubt. And did you see Enfield and chums in the band?
Mind you he's also very good at playing a drunk dr Gregory House, xxx
Is it wrong for me to absolutely adore this!?
What a bizarre comment - why on earth would it be _wrong?_
9:22 Stephen Fry short of words? Ive never seen that before!
They're fucking best mates!
Now I nevr knew that hugh laurie could play the piano, xxxx
He frequently plays piano in his shows, including House
He plays it in most episodes of _Jeeves and Wooster._
@Dedeurklink Yeah, I suppose you can't be truly funny unless you've experienced that kind of tragedy. It's all about perspective.
Emma Thompson is lovely. I think outside the UK, her comedic talents are a llittle overshadowed by her dramatic roles, but her comedy has this great abandon that is just so totally infectious
I think Laurie was gonna say it was like an ouroboros, the symbol of the snake devouring itself that represents infinity
well, no, I was referring to his reaction being what it was, not the whether or nots of why it wasn't shown.
i wanna live in that beautiful comedy house
You lot in jeans. And HEROIN.
Another one of those repeats is it?
no, it means the 12th Doctor hasn't chosen his personal wardrobe yet.
Make it happen, BBC. The timeline requires it.
god Emma is just ravishing!!
@JustAKidInTheHall Just type "Hugh Laurie piano" (on youtube) and something about Piano Masterclass will come up on search results. That is the full video. =D It's great!
In that first sketch Fry is wearing the 11th doctor's outfit! O.O ZOMG
I'd love to see them do some sketch comedy again, but I guess those days are gone..
Correction: the 11th doctor is wearing Stephen Fry's outfit.
@PoureTheChampagne Seeing as Laurie mentioned how early he gets up when filming for house during the drive over part of the program, I'd say that's cuz he's used to getting up and doing an American accent for a whole day.
YOU WANT ME TO FART THE HIT PARADE?!?
thank you, i am a hungarian, and couldn't understand it....
2:04 hes like DYING LOOL
Stephen's hair flicking made me laugh so hard 9:53
IRK? What was with the finger fluttering?
13:50 Darling, I want you to pass the marmalade! You want me to fart the hit parade? LMAO
Where's part 4?
+TayJohnson1122 And part 2!!!
+Miel Mani BBC Copyright claims. the assholes
+HoganFan69 Copyright claims on even numbers?
+Václav Fejt Well, the BBC always claims to have an even-handed approach : P
oh the despair, my life is ruined.
that was absolutely NOT intentional.
yes it was..
1:10
Is he... Matt Smith?
I think Fry was playing with Diablo back in the day, as they say. We had Rowen and Martin, Bing Crosby and Bob Hope, Cheech and Chong, Key and Peele, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis but none of them attended Oxford.
Thomas Pedersen Yes, Stephen was a coke head for 15 years. They went to Cambridge.
@@joebrokenstrang3711 Slattery also a famous patient of Dr Charles.
"Mrs Popey, we may be stupid but we're not clever"
Does anyone know where I can find the full video of the clip at 1:11?
whats the sketch with stephen fry singing?
Well in the Formula 1 interview, he actually DID hit Hugh by accident, that's why!
i want to meet these two demigods of comedy. LIFE, arrange this for me.
2:32 "I think, like most schoolboys, my first contact with Stephen Fry/Hugh Laurie was Black Adder"
Depends when those schoolboys were schoolboys, Daniel. Bellend.

aww they didnt put in the F1clip
PAAAAASS THE mAAARmalade
11:20- Fry and Laurie dressed as women makes me happy 😃
04:44 One of those kids is Reggie Yates
"he's Hungarian rather pleasingly..." oh thx Steve, kind of u to say that :-)
Stephen is the "more commonly optimistic"? That's interesting, considering Stephen's bipolar diagnosis and hospitalization history.
aww they didnt put in the F1clip, oh wait they did
