The difference between Stephen's relationship with Hugh Laurie and the rest is clearly seen in this video. Your friends are going to show up at an awards ceremony and heap praises on you. Only your best friend is going to pretend to think really hard to come up with ONE of your talents... God, how I love them.
On one side I agree. On another I dont. I dont know if I would talk about a good friend like that on tv, no matter who I am. And Jo is in the video like she always seems to be, so that tells nothing :D Though I totally agree that only a good friend would do that, but not all good friends would. Some want to and choose otherwise.
I’ve adored Stephen Fry for the last few years just so much. He’s helped me with my depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and coming to terms with my homosexuality by just speaking and being open about it.
I wonder how many people will have to tell him he's a fantastic human being until he himself believes it. Daniel is such an endearing fangirl when it comes to Stephen, love it. And then there's Hugh.. being Hugh :').
I have had at least 5 different dreams (that I can remember, so nevermind what I might've forgotten) where I'm over in the UK hanging out in a house with Stephen and Hugh, and I couldn't be more thankful for that. I mean, I'm an American, and wish to god already I could at least visit England, perhaps even live there, but then ALSO getting to be in the company of those two... just bliss.
Its not even about awards and number of television credits, its about extraordinary quality of character, immense warm heartedness and earth-shattering loveliness. Stephen, you are immeasurable and unutterably wonderful in every way that can be observed and felt. A testament to the beauty of humanity. Thank you. x
Revering real people is somewhat of a fools errand, but Stephen, for me, comes near to being an idol. He shows us that people can be good in so many ways while still being people.
Stephen & Hugh helped me through some dark times in the 90's with their "A Bit of Fry & Laurie" series. I know this is late, but I just want to put something out there. Love them both. Very much.
I am from the United States and have fallen in LOVE with your National Treasures such as Graham Norton and Stephen Fry. What is not to love and admire. Talent, kindness, humor and all with a humble acceptance of praise. Thank you for sharing!
I think Stephen Fry will be one of the only "celebrities" (I use the term loosely because he's so much more than that) I'll cry over if he passes before I do.
Nobody could have represented Oscar Wilde better than him in a movie. He has the charisma, flamboyant, the looks, the elegance, the softness, the voice and pronunciaton needed. He is 100% brittish 🇬🇧, I adore him.
he is a brilliant man, witty, talented,erudite, etc. but he did time in prison for credit card theft and snorted a lot of cocaine. which is an offence.
I loved Stephen Fry for so many things. And even more so when he opened his heart to the world in his documentary on mental illness. Sir Stephen Fry surely.
Stephen is such a lovely man, just as much then as he is now....his embarrassment,like a young child, his jokes about himself, and his selflessness when standing up for " the weaker ones" to whom nobody takes notice of. I wish I knew you personally, you dear man
@@moremerry57 no it wasn't. Only a fully indoctrinated PC-er would think that. Most clear-thinking people acknowledged the yelling and screaming, and they would also have concluded that it was incredibly rude of the screaming people to make those noises!
An absolutely fucking undeniable treasure! He’s the kind of man whose lap you want to sit on as he narrates for you the history of Britain and I do mean the complete history without a single detail missed, because you just want to hear him talk for hours. Someone bubble wrap him.
He really is a very special man. If he could just be appointed to run the world for a few years it would be a truly wonderful place! I'd put money on it!
Oddly enough, I first discovered Stephen in a short scene in the John Travolta movie, A Civil Action back in the late 80s. Something about how he did that one scene intrigued me. He was the reason why I got into British TV and movies entirely.
Just remember, if things in your life are bad, and you don't know if you're gonna get out of a rut (like Stephen Fry was like at one point in his life), just remember... 0:46 is the fuckin KING saying hello to him.
Stephen has many unique qualities and is greatly loved for his wholesome humanity - a “star” in every sense - we are so fortunate to have his talent to entertain and educate us. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Person in audience: Wow. I really love this guy. He's about to make a speech. Maybe I should shout loudly and continuously so that it is harder for me or anyone else you hear it.
On QI, I love the enthusiasm and wonderment Stephen has for the natural world and how humanity has evolved socially to where we are today. The world is amazing, don’t believe rubbish in fictional deities and stories, it’s all around us here and now. That’s what Stephen preaches and I’m a true believer in that too.
Michael Hartman. A comment worthy of the man himself and no fish and cheering in the back stalls. 14 year old girls and those overcome with emotion go on in that non-stop stiff upper lip way.. It's really too bad of them....
Stephen Fry: The only person alive who would verbally use "OMFG!" and not sound stupid doing so. Beautiful!
darkridr25 Stephen Fry: never stupid, but usually silly.
@@starry_lis That's a brilliant way to describe him!

imagine the future king telling you uour great man
Stephen Fry is a freaking Icon
Even after Stephen's Charles II in Blackadder where he did it in Prince Charles' voice... genius!
Yeah, ironic innit?
right on... I look forward to King Radcliffe's reign.
QEII for ever
He's not just a National Treasure. He is the world's treasure to humanity.
I wonder how many people will have to tell him he's a fantastic human being until he himself believes it. Daniel is such an endearing fangirl when it comes to Stephen, love it. And then there's Hugh.. being Hugh :').
Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie are literally my favorite people. There is very little I wouldn't give up to meet either of them
I have had at least 5 different dreams (that I can remember, so nevermind what I might've forgotten) where I'm over in the UK hanging out in a house with Stephen and Hugh, and I couldn't be more thankful for that.

I am not worthy, I am not worthy
Never has anyone ever been more deserving of special recognition in all their lives.
Stephen Fry makes people interested in learning. He is a very kind man.
I just wish the part of the audience that considered it appropriate to tell and whistle through his speech had given him the respect he deserved.
There must have been two Americans in the Audience...^^
Stephen Fry deserves EVERY award he ever gets. . but more importantly. . . he deserves to be well. . . and to find LOVE . .
My go to answer whenever someone asks that question: 'Who would you most want to have at your dinner table'.
Stephen Fry is a man I'd love to meet, not to talk to, but to listen to
So satisfying to see someone you love get the recognition they deserve.
Beautiful man. The nation is lucky to have him. Well deserved award and standing ovation. He has one of the kindest faces on television.
Stephen Fry: delightful grace, deep warmth, profound humanity - and sharp wit. An exceptional being.
Its not even about awards and number of television credits, its about extraordinary quality of character, immense warm heartedness and earth-shattering loveliness.
Stephen, you are immeasurable and unutterably wonderful in every way that can be observed and felt. A testament to the beauty of humanity. Thank you. x
One of the very few people who is not just a national treasure but a global treasure.
Revering real people is somewhat of a fools errand, but Stephen, for me, comes near to being an idol. He shows us that people can be good in so many ways while still being people.
This man is the most adorable person i have ever laid my eyes on.
i LOVE Stephen Fry Reading Harry Potter
What a lovely, pleasant, kind, charming, hugely intelligent wonderful man.
'Fry TV', that would be wonderful, the whole day/night Stephen Fry on the box. QI 'the parthenon', the funniest tv moment in years.
Know Very Little, you know, “they say about the Acropolis, where the Parthenon is.....” 😂
Stephen & Hugh helped me through some dark times in the 90's with their "A Bit of Fry & Laurie" series. I know this is late, but I just want to put something out there. Love them both. Very much.
That Stephen Fry exists in this world gives me hope and lifts my spirits. I love him.
Extremely well deserved. I had no idea he had received this award.

One wept whilst watching this. He deserves a knighthood.
Gaurang Prabhudesai
Oh yes definitely without a doubt
Also one for Hugh
Maybe awarded at the same time. Ooh they can go as Jeeves and Wooster.
Manic depression Stephen fry
Susan Struthers, God bless him for bringing it out into the open. He’s helped so many.
He isn't already a Knight of the Realm?
he is a brilliant man, witty, talented,erudite, etc. but he did time in prison for credit card theft and snorted a lot of cocaine. which is an offence.
He's actually an international treasure. I adore and admire him from across the pond.
And I from the underbelly of the world 🇳🇿
I loved Stephen Fry for so many things. And even more so when he opened his heart to the world in his documentary on mental illness. Sir Stephen Fry surely.
He would have to be willing to accept a knighthood wouldn't he???
He is unique and one of the best
Stephen is such a lovely man, just as much then as he is now....his embarrassment,like a young child, his jokes about himself, and his selflessness when standing up for " the weaker ones" to whom nobody takes notice of. I wish I knew you personally, you dear man
not just a National Treasure - an International one ♥
(could have done without the distracting screaming and yelling in the background)
Julia Connell, that was remarkably rude.
I agree, it was distracting and unfortunately made it difficult to hear his heartfelt acceptance speech.
Those people were morons
@@moremerry57 no it wasn't. Only a fully indoctrinated PC-er would think that. Most clear-thinking people acknowledged the yelling and screaming, and they would also have concluded that it was incredibly rude of the screaming people to make those noises!
@@moremerry57 ... And the steed upon which thou didst arrive...

I would love to meet him. I wish him a great recovery and hope that he will live for decades to come!
He really is a very special man. If he could just be appointed to run the world for a few years it would be a truly wonderful place! I'd put money on it!
He is a national treasure
Can't be much longer now, surely. Arise Sir Stephen.
He’s a treasure to the world. May he live forever!!!
One someone as special as Stephen Fry would receive personal praise from Prince Charles
A prince among men.
well deserved standing ovation.
Oddly enough, I first discovered Stephen in a short scene in the John Travolta movie, A Civil Action back in the late 80s. Something about how he did that one scene intrigued me. He was the reason why I got into British TV and movies entirely.
Stephen is the best! He deserved this award sooo much!! And all the praise admiration in the clips from his friends are adorable. 🥰😍
Just remember, if things in your life are bad, and you don't know if you're gonna get out of a rut (like Stephen Fry was like at one point in his life), just remember...

Stephen Fry is an amazing Person.
Stephen has many unique qualities and is greatly loved for his wholesome humanity - a “star” in every sense - we are so fortunate to have his talent to entertain and educate us. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Going to watch this again, as I've been in tears since 1:45 - at least. I'd say GOD BLESS him, but only IRONICALLY. 💙💜💚love love love him = truth
I’ve just discovered A Bit of Fry and Laurie and even I am so happy he received the award. Such a brilliant actor!
He is absolutely one of my favorites. He is a brave human being and a very brilliant one.
Stephen Fry is the real deal. 🙂
Totally cried. His humility is so inspiring! I ADORE, Mr. Fry!
None more deserving, truly a national treasure.
(sorry for being a tad late)
Beautiful speech by a massive talent. And so humble.
I LOVE THIS MAN
see how stephen says just "bless you" and not "GOD Bless you" .. i loved it
Adore him! Sending lots of love from America ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Amazing Genius! Stephen Fry! This award could only go to him!
A very educated man! Loved him in Blackadder !
You gotta love him.
this made me cry. slightly awkward im at my desk in the middle of the office. so worth it though! I LOVE STEPHEN FRY!

I miss Stephen Fry on QI.
To accept the award by beginning with O M F G, it's just so Fryish ;)
And to receive the award from the fellow legend, Bamber Gascoigne...
We need to preserve his DNA, we really do.
Sir Stephen
I remember seeing this on TV when it was shown and thinking "He's going to drop that award!!!!" during his speech!
The 47 people who disliked this should have their internet and computers removed
Its 51 now and yes they should. How can you dislike Stephen fry
he's so lovely!
Should be Sir Steven Fry.❤
How the fuck is not Sir Stephen yet??
Sir Stephen or Stir fry?
5:05 holy shit, that thumb!
keep strong Stephen
So deserving! Congratulations Stephen!
So true. He is amazing
The funniest man on the earth!
Fry-day once a week.
Michael Hartman. A comment worthy of the man himself and no fish and cheering in the back stalls. 14 year old girls and those overcome with emotion go on in that non-stop stiff upper lip way.. It's really too bad of them....
@Michael Hartman I wrote congratulating you on your pun hope you get at least this one
Fry OBE . my captain
My hero... (And Christopher Hitchens)
O. M. F. G.
Almost brought a tear to my eye there. Naaaaw.
Spot the best friend there
I love him😍😍😍
I want fry tv it would be amazing
Thanks for posting this
Stephen fits in the same niche for me as Robin Williams, he is simply a genius at his craft
I listen to the Harry Potter books almost every night
A modern day “Peter Sellers”
when can we call him Sir Stephen?
He was offered a knighthood and declined it, so... never.
He has the better title, National Treasure.
@stan Rogers I'm intrigued to know how you know that but I suspected as such
Oh please please please make Fry TV real !!! 5:33
Will we still have 240p in 2020? Really though he's the best person, and deserves HD at least :p
The background Music, in the Filmed Excerpt, starts with The Bonzos, and Ends with Led Zeppelin...
Mr. Fry is a fan of both Bands, I believe...
I sometimes think we really did miss out on Stephen not actually appearing in Harry Potter.
It will be a sad day when he eventually leaves this world.
Bless.
OMFG!!!!
his comments about television remind me of his thoughts of Hestia ( goddess of the hearth).
The world would be a lesser place if he hadn't been born. He should be knighted immediately!
