I used to have a stuffed pony almost exactly like that O.o I don't think I turned into a psychopath, however, I could be wrong. I love how cute Stephen looks when he says "sweet" the second time ^^
Oh my God same. I actually had to skip the rest of the video when it became clear he wasn't going to take it out. I mean yea it wasn't actually stuck in him but if he like tripped or something gahhhh
Oh come on. He was warning us all of common household dangers that occur in the home. You can't expect him to bother himself with so trifling and insignificant a matter.
@Evi1M4chine Well, I can't help thinking that British people need more personal space than the Americans do. So I think it's indeed the friendship thing here.
Sometimes I'll see a particularly funny sketch from "A Bit of Fry & Laurie" and wonder what certain comedians, like Harry Enfield, were driving at in making disparaging remarks about the comedy successes of Oxbridge types. He is proof that there is and was plenty of room at the table for funny people. And to be honest, when I was F&L its lack of reliance on topical comedy, stock characters and catch phrases means that 30 years on, it stands up much better than a lot of what Harry has done in the last decade.
@@samkessel5411 Yes, but you support the poster's point by referring to a sketch that depends on the audience having seen Margaret Thatcher - topical comedy that inevitably dates.
@@abbreviatedalex2418 Well, to speak openly I am quite glad that Mr Fry (and the apron-taylor too) didn't have such "vain" objections - otherwise we may have missed a very funny sketch ;-)
The sad thing there there are segments on American morning news that are pretty much this sketch. They try to scare people then shill their merchandise.
I must not have an American POV. I can imagine Americans doing that, but I can't see how that would be funny, especially in this context. (I am, by the way, not American. Nor am I English)
They're sooo young! And handsome.
LivB Agreed
And hilarious. 😂
Stephen and Hugh will always be the ultimate couple. Don't care what anyone says.
No honey, they're called fry and laurie
@@phs125 laurel and hardy
I'm gonna say they tie with Key & Peele, both great duos
@@zarinaromanets7290 Not even close.
@@jlex1049 They shouldn't be compared. English comedy is completely different to American comedy.
I just love how Steven keeps the knife in

"Your kitchen... could be... a MINEfield. In which case, be espescially careful."
Also if it's mine you shouldn't just walk in. Personal property and so on.
That probably just means that the mushrooms belong to the guy who drew the map.
DrZaius3141 What I'd like to know is, if we should happen to tread on a mine, Capt, what do we do? 😉
Wow 8 years ago...
:) I think I remember the UA-cam layout then.. *:')*
@@MrEAus Well, the normal procedure is to leap 200 feet into the air and scatter yourself over a large area.
I want to yell at Stephen "Take that knife out of your belly!" the whole time!
Hahaha

Look how close they stand next to each other. That's true friendship. =)

Or simply the cramped design of the studio set.

That's interesting, if you think about it, really funny people are always really intelligent people, too.
Kind of like using the term oxbridge.

As well as 99% of domestic violence, scary stuff

Better food than disinfectant ;-/
"...baby can easily siphon off some petrol from the family hatchback, and even douse teddy in petrol..."
Perfect! I also love how the fireproofing of the wool fabric worked, and they had so much trouble actually lighting it on fire!
@@SalahEddineH It's 'cause they poured water, not petrol.
@Dangerz Own That line was perfect! :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Is this the study that caused Britain to ban so many knives?
Nah I think it's just the ridiculously high rates of stabbings in the UK
The way Stephen looks at Hugh...
Gavin! Frank! Gavin! Frank! GAVIN! oh,yes indeed... ahahaha XD
I love Hugh Laurie to death. I love him so much more in this program than House.f
Omg 10 years ago...
Hello.. :') how was the UA-cam layout then? Memories..
Bertram Wilburforce Wooster is my Fav character of all time.
Most household accidents happen in the home
Hugh 28 and Fry 30 at time of filming.
I would love to them do reunion episode ♥️
Your kitchen could be a *minefield*... in which case, be especially careful.
Oh god, they warned us about the bronies.

the ending is perfect
Damn it, Modern Britain, they weren't being serious!
hahaha "you've seen it before!"
Haha, bevore starting the sketch I wonders: Since when is Fry SO paunchy.....? Now I know ;-)
@@abbreviatedalex2418 Well, to speak openly I am quite glad that Mr Fry (and the apron-taylor too) didn't have such "vain" objections - otherwise we may have missed a very funny sketch ;-)
Hee...Stephen looks pregnant.
"You called me Sweet."

Thus..their baby must be 33 y.o. now 🤧
Stephen fry has a beautiful face
Brilliant
I wouldn't be surprised if this inspired Jim Carrey to create Fire Marshall Bill.
poor teddy...
4:20 is about right for how long this video should be , blaze it vVv
Fast forward and this is just Twitter of today.
A coworker cut her stomach with a boxcutter. While opening a box.
Yeah, that happens sometimes.
Ah, she missed then. Her box is lower down.
This is… a better version of reality TV.
People like these characters are exact reason why Kinder Surprise is banned in US.
The sad thing there there are segments on American morning news that are pretty much this sketch. They try to scare people then shill their merchandise.
So wonderfully weird
Back when you could just walk into a shop and buy a knife.
You can't now ?? .. wtf ?
Please enlighten us
Is this some sort of British thing I'm too much of an American colonial to understand?
@@thetman0068 their cities are full of stabbists and other kind of criminals as a result of open door policy
So, how do you buy knives in Britain? Do you need a license for them now?
Look at that! It's an inferno!!! LOL I could watch this all day...
Why didn't it burn
No petrol but water. And an EU approved Teddy.
@megamarsvin i dont think u understand my comment.
@tommos1 Is that a stew lee reference? :)
You just slipped and accidentally choked on his carrot?
And that's when I knew it was time to call a divorce attorney.
early days of health and safety
Am I the only one who thinks fry looks like paul mccartney here?
Yes
.....it could happen!! ;)
Ah the danger of the household kitchen knife. This must be where Sadiq Khan got his knife ban from.
Gavin
I found Gavin.
4:20 seconds
Stephen looks pregnant
only watched it cause its 4:20 long

An American POV, it would have been funnier with fake blood gushing down his apron.
