  • Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie perform a hilarious short comedy sketch in a police station. A man making a statement has a surname that is pretty hard to pronounce!
    Classic moment from the ground-breaking comedy sketch show 'A Bit of Fry and Laurie'.

      The Meh THIS--is why I can never take Hugh seriously, when he Try's--to act in natural character parts. I've only watched a couple of minutes of Head, and I had to switch off, because I keep thinking of his idiot characters seen here and in Black Adder. I saw him for the very first time--on a TV add, about 25 years ago, which was very funny. I think that set the seal.

    The genius of Hugh Laurie is not only in his ability portray the attitude and accent of an American character...but, more impressively, in his brilliant comedic ability in both American and British HUMOR, which are obviously two very different brands of humor. There are some other British actors who can convincingly portray Americans, and vice verse with American actors who can portray British characters...But, you're a little more hardpressed to find any actor, anywhere who can transition from one type of HUMOR to another. Changing accents and behaviors takes practice, but comedic ability requires more natural ability, and Hugh Laurie has natural ability in two very different brands of comedy.

    • @beastvader
      @beastvader 8 років тому +11

      I agree, he's definitely a national treasure (as is Fry)! On a side note, I don't think there are many American actors who can portray British characters well. In fact, only Meryl Streep, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Gwyneth Paltrow come to mind.
