Let's learn a few words from this clip I hope you learned something new 😊 We'd really appreciate it if you could share these videos and give us a follow❤
Compared to most of the world, we have one of the best public transport systems. "62.9% of Deutsche Bahn AG's long-distance trains (EC, IC, ICE) arrived at the scheduled arrival time plus max. 5:59 minutes in December 2023. This is over 10 percentage points less than in January 2023." @@elg94
Ahahahahah Yeeeeees, they probably thought they'll have more time before train cancelled-came to different way - cancelled - gone to Berlin because why not?)
He was standing behind me when we were boarding a plane going to San Francisco from L.A. We really wanted to say hello but he looked so grumpy we decided against it. 😂
The amount of non British people finding out that Hugh Laurie is British is hilarious. Don't worry, the cast and crew didn't know Hugh was British either until one day he just dropped the American accent. Best part about it all? The producer of house wanted him to be played by a American actor because "British people can't do American accents" and Hugh being Hugh sent in a video audition and got the part. He never lied about him being British as he was never asked...
Yeah one of the guys casting watched his audition and went "that's it! A proper American, that's what we're looking for" and the others in the casting team had to break the news to him lol
Yes because Antonio Thomas,( Claire )from The good doctor . Christian Bale ,Tom Hardy, Benedict Cucumberpatch, Idris Elba, Jumbo cushto (lucca) Rose Leslie (maia) from the good fight Andrew Lincoln all hopeless at American accents. Lol the list goes on and on

These are mostly myths. Everyone knew of course he was British. He had years of career as a well known actor and obviously he wouldn't talk with an accent between scene takes
It's not weird for me to hear his accent because he's British and I'm British and he was absolutely enormously famous decades before House was ever a thing. I find it weird that people find it weird that a British man has a British accent
@@duffman18Well, it's because the majority of us were exposed to him as an English speaking American, and only that. So we correlate it with that. He does an absolutely believable American accent BTW.
Therapist: British Dr House isn’t real, he can’t hurt you Bri’ish Dr. House: Edit: 1. I know Laurie is British 2. I’m from SW London 3. What have I done to offend the Brits such much?
@@vpaul4374 he was not in Monty python you may be thinking of fry and lorry or Jeeves and Worcester or a variety of other comedy shows but not Monty python
As a German I am quite suprised about that. Not that we have some weirdos and characters here too. I have seen some crazy people everywhere. But I would say, that's definitely not the typical German way of doing things...
British people love to talk sh*t about germans. We have a long history of rivalry with another. And of course football is the most important reason for this beef.
@@elg94I think this is more helpful to Americans and was probably included partially for us because here frisky's primary meaning is almost exclusively sexual.
@@harbingerofsarcasm2510 i said english wasn't my first language and it was useful to me too to get the definition, so it's not just for americans, stop being so self centered lmao please
@@elg94 what are you yapping about bro, if you don't know what it means then just google it, also no you didnt specify your first language wasn't english
To all those talking about the meaning of "frisky". It's most common meaning, even in the US, is "playful", not "horny". It can be used for other things and in those cases the meaning is determined by context as it was in this case. For instance in the US it's most often used in relation to playful kittens or puppies. Yes I know it is commonly used to mean "sexually playful" but by no means is that it's only usage.
I've never in my life heard frisky used like that though. I'm 25 and live in the US(Wi.) I've heard it used in two ways only. 1. as a synonym for handsy and 2. in past tense of a cop or body guard doing a hands on body search. Sure you can find the definition of playful but in most of the US this is not a common meaning. At least not in the Midwest today, maybe 15+ years ago though.
@@valixrae zebedee was responding to the original comment that tried to make the case that the US meaning is not what people think it is. Not correcting Laurie's usage.
Hey man, I'm originally from WI. And for us Americans, this can seem strange because of how our language culture is. But, I assure you that you can use 'Frisky' as a term for, "being difficult" I had to learn English phrases cuz my best friend is from England. He uses words that us Americans find confusing all the time. Once you are exposed to more of it, you learn to understand quite well. But you are very correct, Hugh using 'frisky' here seems strange if you are not used to it. It's funny, my buddy tells me that my speech changes around him. He says I use more UK terms when I talk to him. He says, "I've trained you well, mate!" Haha I love that crazy English bastard. He my boi! His name is Callum. "Mates call me Cal!" Is how he introduced himself to me when we met. I encourage you to make international friends! It really is great having friends from around the world!
@@zebedeesummers4413 I'm sorry but that just sounds like you live in a bubble of both time and region. You've already admitted to being only level 25 and that's not much time at all.
Who doesn't know he's British? That's like saying that loads of people didn't know that queen Elizabeth was British, and thought she was from sub-saharan Africa instead
When i first moved to Berlin in rhe early nineties, i was waiting to cross the street on the way to the Kudam and everyone was waiting for the light change. I looked and there were no cars. I crossed and heard the gemans mumbling and grumbling "vas ist los"??? I waited after that!
I spelled "was" incorrectly as well as kudam I'm pretty sure! I enjoyed living in Berlin very much. It was just after the wall fell and there was a lot of optimism. I was married at the Rathaus Schõneburg!!!!?? Rathaus...perfect word for city hall!
I was going left and right on a street light waiting for it to go green and an old lady shouted from the 3rd floor of a random buidling "strassseee" i droped my bike lol
@@AnnaLee33 yeah but you can do it in diffrent ways i will give you an exmaple of the *polite maybe fake but still polite germans yes the austrians - when you throw away a cigar on the street a policewoman will come up to you and say - You droped something sir, with a soft manner of speaking. When a kid falls in front of his german mother and crys, the mother looks at him and without any emotion says- ok you have fallen, now get up. Just the examples i have witness. It is not pleasent
Yeah, I use to love watching "House". I can see myself bingeing on it if I had it on DVD. But also, I had seen him do other stuff as well. There was a movie that he was in that was done similar to a play. But I never got to see the whole thing. He was using his British voice in that, & everyone else was British too so.... it was obvious that he was British to me but he does do a really great job in "House" of acting like he's really an American. It's really cool to hear him talking in his "normal" British voice. And people getting mad at him for being out of time & having to get on the train is just wrong. I'm sure I'd be frustrated as well but when you have a train to catch the train isn't going to wait for you. He should of designated one person to get everyone's address & text or e-mail him the addresses. Then he could just mail them all autographed pictures of himself. It would have been doable. But it was probably time to go so he had to get on the train right then or miss it.
Okay, you need to watch A Bit of Fry and Laurie (Steven Fry and Hugh Laurie sketch show), Jeeves and Wooster (comedy set in the "roaring 20's") and seasons 2, 3 and 4 of Blackadder immediately.
Writer, actor, comedian, musician. He's not only all of that, he's terribly good in all of that. Stephen Fry and him worked together a lot in "A bit of Fry and Laurie" and "Blackadder". BBC, long time ago. That was next level comedy.
Robin Williams(RIP)was on a German talk show.A lady asked:Mr. Williams,why,do you think,there's not much comedy,in Germany? he replied:because you(Germans)killed all the funny people
You can tell he doesn’t know German trains at all by the fact that he actually HURRIED to get to the station on time…😂 because German trains do not conform to the “national stereotype” in the slightest, they are more frequently half an hour late than they are actually on time💀
My Father-in-law bought a villa in Spain and soon after Germans bought up 6 Villas, all in a 3x2 retangle. They built walls on the outer perimeter, inbetween each Villa, to make a walled compound with a huge courtyard in the middle! A very strange thing to do in such a warm and friendly place!
I live in Ontario Canada near Buffalo US. There is a huge amount of private lake front communities with all American owned cottages inside. From the road you would never know as they are surrounded by woods but I've driven into them to do plumbing work & it was pretty surprising the first time I drove in one. Point is, this isn't really a German thing but all nationalities of humans do introverted shit. We're all human
I loved watching House growing up and then my Grandma asked years later, “Have you ever watched HOUSE???”. She went ON AND ON about Hugh Laurie and how she had bought his CD. I can still see in my mind the album cover to this day… This randomly popped up and warmed my heart… makes me think of her 😂❤
I‘m German, I know my countrymen pretty good, I’m also aware of most stereotypes. Hugh Laurie is also one of my favorite actors (since Jeeves). But this story doesn’t make any sense. Us Germans might occasionally burn books, but we don’t rip apart photographs (except maybe German females after being cheated on during a serious long term relationship).
@@Gerzsilah not just that. People always forget that Jewish people were not the only victims of the Holocaust. They even claim that only 6 million people were murdered during the Holocaust, which is so wrong that it borders on Holocaust denial. It was actually around double that, 12 million. Germany also genocided gay people, disabled people, slavic people, romani people, and so on. Not just Jewish people. And the book burning was the same too. They burned and banned books based on many reasons, the same reasons they genocided those people who wrote them. It's like what's happening in Florida right now, with burning and banning of books about gay topics or trans topics. The nazis quite literally did the same thing, burning and banning books about gay or trans topics. History is repeating itself.
It's a fascinating phenomena that so many Germans in this comment section can't admit the possibility that some of them might not be paragons of acceptable behaviour 😂 It's genuinely psychologically interesting levels of denial.
@@Rosskles Burning books is not exactly acceptable behavior. But like gang rapes ripping up pictures or spitting to show contempt some unacceptable behavior is just not typical German. So there's no denial involved, gassing Jews, starting world wars, genocides - I could accept as typical German.
I was born and raised in the USA but have a German name due to heritage. I moved to Germany 30+ years ago and have NEVER heard of German fans behaving like that. Where did this happen? Maybe the 'Germans' weren't all German? Not saying some countries raise friendlier, gentler and more polite people.😅
@chesh1rek1tten oh,it does sound like the Germans to me. Perfectly nice people until you piss them off,then God help you. Spent 50+years travelling there,love the place and people. But don't get on their wrong side.
I lived there for 3 years as an American serviceman. This is exactly how they are. Friend.y until irked or annoyed (with a low threshold for annoyance) and they come after you like gang busters.
People can be like that anywhere in the world, really. it's people who feel entitled and can't handle disappointment. They're universal. @@Optimismus53
This is not exactly how we are... what did happen to annoy them? I see many Videos here where Americans seem like the dumbest and most ignorant people on the planet, easily offended by everything and everyone. We would not get butthurt over an international celebrity needing to leave *on time* especially with the Deutsche Bahn, as we all know how bad it is and we all like to be on time and we only have very few encounters with famous people so that is special to us.
Lord Monty (The Young Ones), Prince George (Blackadder The Third), Lieutenant The Honourable George Colthurst St. Barleigh (Blackadder Goes Forth), Bertie Wooster (Jeeves and Wooster), A Bit Of Fry And Laurie, Greg House, Richard Onslow (The Night Manager), Captain Ryan Clark (Avenue 5)...Hugh Laurie is truly brilliant in every role.
everyone and their mom in the comments tryina analyse this clip. it isn't that deep. eirher he dramatisised the story bc why not, or the germans were having a shit day and took it out on him. both very normal human behaviour.
Who is analysing this clip? I can't see anybody analysing it. Just people laughing at the funny story because it is a funny story that is funny. Do you see? I see. I have eyes. And ears. And mouth. And nose. Head and shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes. Do you understand now?
@@Rosskles He is displaying the typical educated Englishman's sense of humour. Exaggeration for effect and contrast between what is expected by the listener and what is said by the speaker. It's a comedian's stock in trade. It may have a basis in truth but he exaggerated to make it funny. One must have a sense of humour to understand this. I refer you to another British comedy, Fawlty Towers, which might enlighten you to the context. Have you ever heard the phrase "tongue in cheek?" 😏
@@Cold_Minds Depends on. In the east, north and south, they're relatively nice. But most are too shy to attack someone for something small. I don't like the stupid mindset of western Germans, totally brainwashed and angry all the time.
I live close to Germany go there quite often yes they are very serious but you can say what you want they have manners in public and raise their kids well not the screaming kids you see in any other country. If i go on holliday i always look for a hotel with allot of Germans bcs of that.
My experience with living in Germany is completely opposite of yours 🤣 Like what? They raise their kids freely and let them do anything and what manners? They tend to make a lot of noise when clearing out their noses in public
Funny how plp in the comments are convinced that there are only bad plp in Germany and the rest of the world does not have bad plp in their own ranks. That is racist ;)

@@noamzacks3315 I know they people were killed in camps, I didn't know they killed comedians.
I Just Adore Hugh Laurie... Funny .. Really Funny .. Its all in the delivery... ❤❤❤
I love this man
If they are tearing up your photo they only want your autograph for the resell. I wouldnt tear up your photo Hugh.
You can tell he doesn’t know German trains at all by the fact that he actually HURRIED to get to the station on time…😂
because German trains do not conform to the “national stereotype” in the slightest, they are more frequently half an hour late than they are actually on time💀
My Father-in-law bought a villa in Spain and soon after Germans bought up 6 Villas, all in a 3x2 retangle. They built walls on the outer perimeter, inbetween each Villa, to make a walled compound with a huge courtyard in the middle!
A very strange thing to do in such a warm and friendly place!
I live in Ontario Canada near Buffalo US. There is a huge amount of private lake front communities with all American owned cottages inside. From the road you would never know as they are surrounded by woods but I've driven into them to do plumbing work & it was pretty surprising the first time I drove in one.
Point is, this isn't really a German thing but all nationalities of humans do introverted shit. We're all human
I loved watching House growing up and then my Grandma asked years later, “Have you ever watched HOUSE???”. She went ON AND ON about Hugh Laurie and how she had bought his CD. I can still see in my mind the album cover to this day… This randomly popped up and warmed my heart… makes me think of her 😂❤
CD? He makes music?
@@fakename6658 Yep! It’s lovely 🥰
I believe you, thousands wouldn’t
I‘m German, I know my countrymen pretty good, I’m also aware of most stereotypes. Hugh Laurie is also one of my favorite actors (since Jeeves). But this story doesn’t make any sense. Us Germans might occasionally burn books, but we don’t rip apart photographs (except maybe German females after being cheated on during a serious long term relationship).
As a German I can confirm.
Jewish books
@@Gerzsilah not just that. People always forget that Jewish people were not the only victims of the Holocaust. They even claim that only 6 million people were murdered during the Holocaust, which is so wrong that it borders on Holocaust denial. It was actually around double that, 12 million. Germany also genocided gay people, disabled people, slavic people, romani people, and so on. Not just Jewish people.
And the book burning was the same too. They burned and banned books based on many reasons, the same reasons they genocided those people who wrote them.
It's like what's happening in Florida right now, with burning and banning of books about gay topics or trans topics. The nazis quite literally did the same thing, burning and banning books about gay or trans topics.
History is repeating itself.
It's a fascinating phenomena that so many Germans in this comment section can't admit the possibility that some of them might not be paragons of acceptable behaviour 😂
It's genuinely psychologically interesting levels of denial.
@@Rosskles Burning books is not exactly acceptable behavior. But like gang rapes ripping up pictures or spitting to show contempt some unacceptable behavior is just not typical German. So there's no denial involved, gassing Jews, starting world wars, genocides - I could accept as typical German.
20:00 that guy hiccuping actually killed me watching it live
The voice difference made me go back to a house video and be like... how tf this the same person? 🤣🤣🤣
"If things don't go their way I had to get on a train" yeah, that sounds like Germany alright 😂
I only knew hugh laurie on black adder and such only found out he was house because someone told me
The definition for frisky is appreciated, thank you very much
Love Hugh Laurie ❤❤❤
I was born and raised in the USA but have a German name due to heritage. I moved to Germany 30+ years ago and have NEVER heard of German fans behaving like that. Where did this happen? Maybe the 'Germans' weren't all German? Not saying some countries raise friendlier, gentler and more polite people.😅
Yeah, I'm really confused, too.
Doesn't sound German.
@chesh1rek1tten oh,it does sound like the Germans to me. Perfectly nice people until you piss them off,then God help you. Spent 50+years travelling there,love the place and people. But don't get on their wrong side.
@@stevebradbury7757 You just described people in general
As a German: We too have vandals, rapists, murderers and just generally speaking we do also have a fair share of assholes.
Nah, i am german and unfortunately we have quite a lot of self-important idiots who would definitely behave in the way he describes.
Guten Tag!
Just binging Dr. House on Netflix RIGHT NOW! 😎
Okay, that woke me up , his voice 😮😅
He's sexy as a Brit but sexier as House ❤
... for a moment I thought he said he had to get on a train if they didn't get what they wanted. And historically, that don't end well in Germany.
Okay, so, I'm german and I have to admit ... that's a good one 😄
Although it's a bit macabre... 😅
When he said that he was going on a train in Germany I thought it was gonna be a different punchline
"If things don't go their way I had to get on a train"
Damn still?
I lived there for 3 years as an American serviceman. This is exactly how they are. Friend.y until irked or annoyed (with a low threshold for annoyance) and they come after you like gang busters.
Im very sorry about that. that behavior of many of my compatriots is now absolutely underground.
Und ich kenne eine Frau, die ist noch dicker
People can be like that anywhere in the world, really. it's people who feel entitled and can't handle disappointment. They're universal. @@Optimismus53
100%%%%%
This is not exactly how we are... what did happen to annoy them? I see many Videos here where Americans seem like the dumbest and most ignorant people on the planet, easily offended by everything and everyone. We would not get butthurt over an international celebrity needing to leave *on time* especially with the Deutsche Bahn, as we all know how bad it is and we all like to be on time and we only have very few encounters with famous people so that is special to us.
How did people never know he was british? My god
people think a guy best known for playing an American character is American?!?!! what... 🤯🤯🤯
@@Glorg783What are you talking about? He’s best known for playing Bertie Wooster.
@@rfichokeofdestiny who
@@Glorg783 Look it up.
@@rfichokeofdestiny i looked it up, house is way more popular... tf u on
That was a nice gesture. That way he wouldnt need to feel the pressure to sign more autographs.
Lord Monty (The Young Ones), Prince George (Blackadder The Third), Lieutenant The Honourable George Colthurst St. Barleigh (Blackadder Goes Forth), Bertie Wooster (Jeeves and Wooster), A Bit Of Fry And Laurie, Greg House, Richard Onslow (The Night Manager), Captain Ryan Clark (Avenue 5)...Hugh Laurie is truly brilliant in every role.
As a German this sure does surprise me to hear
It shouldn't, you people go nuts when things don't go your way. I've been living with you for many years now
Sounds totally like us, we are nice and charming as lomg as everything remains within der Deutschen-Norm
When I was doing my internship at Fox he was in the gym with me. Nice chap.
He's telling the truth. We have known them for a thousand years. I am from Poland.
everyone and their mom in the comments tryina analyse this clip. it isn't that deep. eirher he dramatisised the story bc why not, or the germans were having a shit day and took it out on him. both very normal human behaviour.
nah, i rather base my whole opinion of Germans on this comedy show clip
Who is analysing this clip? I can't see anybody analysing it. Just people laughing at the funny story because it is a funny story that is funny. Do you see? I see. I have eyes. And ears. And mouth. And nose. Head and shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes.
Do you understand now?
@rezzor_ you have changed my mind I agree.
@@duffman18 Go through the comments. Quite a few germans trying to say he's lying.
Germans are good robots
He is so lovely whatever he says or tell a story is so funny 😄🤍✨️
That accent I was immediately transported to blackadder 2 'chains' 😂
They will have been German journalists
as a German that must be a rare case lol
Hugh Laurie Would Play an Amazing Doctor Who 💯
Houseee.... 😁😁😁❤ ... it's somehow weird to not hear him as house.
What is it with being on a train in Germany that never ends well? 😂😂😂
Deportation *cough cough* or how do you think, they got all the people into the concentration camps, the Autobahn?
In defence of the general german public (recent imigrants only partially included) that is unusual for our citizens...
Holly molly father of sarcasm appear !!!😂
First movie I remember seeing him in is The Borrowers, crazy that it was in 1997
He's just making jokes. 😊
He telling ab anecdote of a true story.
@@Rosskles He is displaying the typical educated Englishman's sense of humour. Exaggeration for effect and contrast between what is expected by the listener and what is said by the speaker. It's a comedian's stock in trade. It may have a basis in truth but he exaggerated to make it funny. One must have a sense of humour to understand this. I refer you to another British comedy, Fawlty Towers, which might enlighten you to the context. Have you ever heard the phrase "tongue in cheek?" 😏
He must be kidding.
Such things are considered extremely rude in Germany.
I know, I live here.
He wouldn't lie about such a terrible incident.
Probably immigrants the way he made the accent
People are extremely rude somehow here in Germany
@@Cold_Minds Depends on.
In the east, north and south, they're relatively nice.
But most are too shy to attack someone for something small.
I don't like the stupid mindset of western Germans, totally brainwashed and angry all the time.
@@Schacal6666 It was an englishman doing a generic german accent.
Lol.. Tearing up aand throwing back.. Sounds like a good Monty Python skit
did you just define a word for me? How very dare you 😂
I’m sure it was just a couple of “faule Äpfel!”
I live close to Germany go there quite often yes they are very serious but you can say what you want they have manners in public and raise their kids well not the screaming kids you see in any other country. If i go on holliday i always look for a hotel with allot of Germans bcs of that.
You sound like a Moany bastard
My experience with living in Germany is completely opposite of yours 🤣 Like what? They raise their kids freely and let them do anything and what manners? They tend to make a lot of noise when clearing out their noses in public
How else can you clean your nose?
HI THERE HUGH LAURIE❤🎉NICE TO 👍 ❤SEE YOU ❤🎉
'And if things didn't go their way, I had to get on a train...' 😱
Funny how plp in the comments are convinced that there are only bad plp in Germany and the rest of the world does not have bad plp in their own ranks. That is racist ;)
i'm so sorry and ashamend he had that experience with idiots
You don't understand. They were telling him not to miss his train, and encouraged him to move on. ;)
@@AnnaLee33I don't think so ;)
you ever see the black adder?
he was so great in those😊
Dang, after rick in twd and tom holland I wasnt expecting house to also be british
