@@rmk3155 whats wrong with them loving their own comment, hm? Are you the love-police? Is it against the law, to love your own comments now?

For the first skit, I can't decide if it's funnier if A) he's not heard the phrase "Good morning" once in 27 years or B) he's been casually admitting to espionage and high treason every time someone enters his shop before noon.
I would like to thank Fry & Laurie for the character of the nonsensical shopkeeper. I have channelled that character many times when I get scam phone calls regarding car crashes I have been involved in, or court cases against me by the Tax office. They usually hang up on me when I call on Mr Dalliard, and never call back for some strange reason.
the skit w the teacher just made me feel bad lmao; thats how I feel some of my professors feel with online learning bc the material is clear and so are the questions but no one besides 2 or 3 participate.
we've been enjoying those two for around 20yrs before he was cast as Dr House and those bigwigs responsible for casting him had no idea what Hugh did in the past. How was that possible?
Im so happy that HL landed the House part. He was amazing and perfect for it. And since ive delved into his previous work and realized it's a shame that American audience had no idea that he has alwAys been terrific
I am American, and I had never heard of his role as in the House show, nor even knew anything about that series, until I started reading amazed comments by people who were stunned he'd been in anything BUT that show. I've never heard his American accent.
The brilliance of Laurie multi-tasking .I refer not only to the concurrency of the Tickling of the Ivories, but more specifically; the delivering the pitch perfection of the mouth trumpet whilst choking back giggles {or were they gaffaws?)
T R Airfix, Revell and Tamiya! The modern youngsters wouldn't have the patience to put together a scale model accurately and paint it with precision, never mind the decals!
Anna Tamparow 19 year old here. And I know quite a lot of people who are very interested in model making, I don’t have the money or the skill personally, I don’t see how people can paint so finely and detailed, and get every bit of it accurate and perfect. But some of my friends have built and painted models, I was thinking of buying some premade models.
The way Stephen Fry gets so fully into character is incredible. The words flow so freely and the delivery so instinctive, it’s as if he IS the character.
To whom it may concern. I'd like to apply for the position of video editor for online content at the BBC. I've been a video editor for more than a decade and I specialize in getting to know the material before making the cuts. Thank you for your consideration.
"Listen to me lovelet, language circumscribes beauty, confines it, limns, delineates, colours and contains. Yet what is language but a tool, a tool we use to dig up the beauty that we take as our only and absolute real?" Seeing that sketch inspired a life long love of language for me. Pure genius.
0:54 "Mr Dalliard and I were to detonate our relatives and fly to Dover" Fly to Dover?!" By all means the most reasonable part to question here. Oh, the many relatives I'd like to detonate... Seriously, what a gorgeous compilation. Thank you very much, indeed!
Great upload! I don't know why, but it is increasingly happinessinducing to see one (well two, Hugh isn't born yesterday either) super-smart mind(s) faff about very effectively in the deep well that is humour of an especially high level of goodness in style and delivery.
Laurie popped into the Red Lion once when I worked there, many years ago. I forget what he said, but we all looked at each other thinking, was that who I think it was? Anyway, love Stephen and Hugh.
If you'll pardon the pun, here is even more "A Bit of Fry & Laurie" here: bit.ly/2OJKqZD
Because they used "here" twice in the same sentence.
@@marlowe4105 and because they used "more" and "a bit".
You wouldn't read about it on television.

You need help!
It's clearly B
I think it's number B. You can tell it's a regular occurrence from the complete disinterest expressed by Mr Dalliard.
Well, he is located in britain, so... its A i would say...
FR
I love the phrase “detonate our relatives” so much.
Haha yeah
I use it as often as I can.
I've got a few relatives I'd like to detonate.
I quite like “friendly milk Will countermand my trousers” and “national service, who is she?”
@@susannamarker2582 don't we all

Bring these two magnificent fellows back again. There humour is needed nowadays more than ever.
I love Hugh's expressions. He has something of a rubber face.
It's like if confusion has a face
GREAT COMPLIMENT!
Btw.
Of course.
Samuel Barber He is the best actor/comedian since Stanley Laurel for variety, versatility and adaptability!
It takes a special kind of incompetence to cut off most of the sketches before the punchline. Congratulations, editor.
Oh man, why they do that is like a Satan thing, or ppl liking coins to get coronavirus
It's...fine? I dont know what you're talking about. Are you referring to the ads?
@@PointsofData The first sketch has a sentence cut off at the end. Not sure about the rest.

2:57 A MODEL AIRPLANE OF WATER always kills me
"A model aeroplane of water"
I love Laurie's constant 4th-wall-breaking looks into the camera.
As if he is looking for support...
Ohhh man I miss this show XD "Mr Dalliard! I've gone peculiar now!" Priceless XD
the skit w the teacher just made me feel bad lmao; thats how I feel some of my professors feel with online learning bc the material is clear and so are the questions but no one besides 2 or 3 participate.
yess it reminded me of zoom classes when no one participates and it’s awkward
As a new teacher that skit hit different
Higher English class (compulsory for university entry) was JUST like that! The teachers must have been driven crazy by the apathy. Lol
We really were blessed with these guys fantastic writing and performances and timing is everything
The first sketch is one of the greatest ever!
I've seen these skits hundreds of time and they're still hilarious.
These two bring me to tears of laughter---how they thought up these skits is remarkable, and better than anything on Saturday Night Live.
0:40 "It is now 27 summers since comrade Milenski stood slightly to the left of you are now and..."
Surely he stood to the far left?
😂
Good one, I saw Jimmy Carr on QI too 😁 (he went, for Fry pleasingly, the other way tho...)
You don't need a question mark after an affirmative sentence.
@@susannamarker2582 Surely you can end such a sentence with a question mark?
@@Calmputer A question, yes. Apart from that, no. What you wrote isn't a question.
Love Hugh's world-weariness and 4th wall asides.
8:08 this skit is the origin story for how Dr. House came to hate humanity.

13:50~ love the baby footprints on the blackboard 😃👍😄
I don't know how Laurie managed to keep a straight face during these sketches.
I'd love to see a blooper reel! 😁
Or Fry for that matter!

Don't listen to him @BC J he had his hand on his head!
To whom it may concern?! Ohhh Mr Dalliard we have been activated! Let us to Minsk where we shall meet with Comrade Victor and his small goat Gerald!
Simon Lawrence it seems I accidentally activated you
'I'd like to have this man put down please'..... Lool!
Ah, the bar sketch is just what The Two Ronnies did so well! Lovely bit of word-play.
Still good after all these years. Loved these under-rated guys!
that confuse expression😂 never bored of it
I love whenever Stephen plays the shopkeep.
"Listen to me lovelet, language circumscribes beauty, confines it, limns, delineates, colours and contains. Yet what is language but a tool, a tool we use to dig up the beauty that we take as our only and absolute real?"

Very Wittgenstein-esque.
'It's b-a-s-t-a-r-d, otherwise good'😂 great teaching 😂
MR DALLIARD WE'VE BEEN ACTIVATED
Good morning
And Mr. Dalliard has a Gun trained on You through the curtains and at a word from Me ... Pure. Comic. Gold!
Starting from 4:39 You can see Hugh Laurie channeling his inner Gregory House throughout the skit
😂😂😂
I thought the same thing. 😂
At 25:55 I think Hugh almost lost his ability to trumpet and nearly laughed at SF;s messy attempt at the cocktail.
Luckily his snort fell right on beat.
Here because I watched house M.d and now admiring Hugh's other work
Starts with my favourite Fry & Laurie sketch of all time.
"...we're always reading about on television..." 😂😂😂
They were so good! Miss this clever and quick comedy style.
The bar skit. I can't stop laughing
Very reminiscent of the "The Two Ronnies" I thought.
0:54 "Mr Dalliard and I were to detonate our relatives and fly to Dover" Fly to Dover?!"
By all means the most reasonable part to question here. Oh, the many relatives I'd like to detonate...
Seriously, what a gorgeous compilation. Thank you very much, indeed!
6:00 rare footage of Hugh Laurie portraying a young Mr. Gregory House
Another beautiful compilation! Thank you so much ❤
the veterinarian one is a little comforting😅 Its nice to know that sometimes even British people have no idea what the hell other brits are saying😅
Oh, he understands it, he just can't believe what his hearing
This is just the origin story of Dr House.
We do try to accomode our customers, but not being a hotel we found it almost impossible.
“Hah! You’ve chosen wisely little one, Yoda has taught you well.”
The bartender's serving Ribena. That's my kind of bar.
That sketch at the vet had me dead. What an absolute king. Hilarious
Young Hugh Laurie reminds me of Marty mcfly sometimes, especially in that second scetch
Sometimes I watch this and think I’m in a British fever dream.
😂 oh I love them both, brilliant 👏😂
These two are probably the most genius actors ever been on Tv
Cutting all the bits too early. This is infuriating.

@@holliswilliams8426 You have chosen video poorly then...
Brillant. Stephen is so prefect. I was a fan long ago. Hugh is the perfect foil.
The floundering lecturer is terrific. I have lectured to classes absolutely refusing to get involved and know the feeling.
„We nourish but don‘t cause gas“ 🤣😂
"i'm going out for an honest British kebab."
Aww...isn't Clover a patient little dachshund? 😍
That sketch in the Greek restaurant is so influenced by Fawlty Towers! In a good way, I hasten to add.
British comedy is the best
Hugh Laurie's "monologue" skit (ignored teacher) was fascinating. He's so great
3:38 causally gives him a bag of coke.
bag of glue
@@chef2853 do you always have to ruin my jokes, chef?
@@happydeadland if possible that would be my preference
This show was amazing, need to do another marathon. Only watched it once.
"Clover can expect a visit from the smack fairy"
Classic BBC, Fry & Laurie are comic geniuses 😅😂
" I'd be better off as a fruit!" 😂😂😂🤣🤣
To watch Hugh in this after watching house for years is sooooo bizarre 😦😱🤣
I'm watching House now.😧😂🤣🤣
I could never get used to him as House. Especially the accent .
lighthousecollector he's phenomenal as house
He was also great in Blackadder
I have had an entire school education like the one shown lol
This is my favorite skit of theirs. Priceless!
Oh my god, I love hugh Laurie. ❤️
Buona giornata! Che coppia formidabile... Bravi a tutti!
Love these two 😂
Stephen Fry is so 🥰
the teacher bit hit too close as both an adult and a former student XD
"We do try to accommodate all our customers, but not being a hotel, we find it almost impossible" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
When Hugh does the teacher bit, all I could think of was Lindybeige haha
Well, the first half
Thought Hugh Laurie was gonna pop a Vicodin during his wait at the Vet
Cheese and Tommy toe toasties xD
"Mr. Dalliard! Command the earth to swallow me up!"
Dalliard is inspired.
It's Dr. House! He was young once!
Laurie popped into the Red Lion once when I worked there, many years ago. I forget what he said, but we all looked at each other thinking, was that who I think it was? Anyway, love Stephen and Hugh.
The first sketch really makes me think it was written by someone who dictated their horrible dreams
Maybe Steven wrote it after a 'manic' episode of his bipolar?
"Curver ?" "Yes" "And what can I do for you today ?" "I would like to have this man put down please." Epic :)))
The 1st clip reminds me of the dead parrot sketch from MPFC!!!
Because both take place in a shop?
I just lost it when the dog started talking
Holy carp. "The smack fairy"... 🤣
Mr. Dalliard is everyone's Mr. Dalliard
"Cansy wansy" made me lol hard
