It's so ingrained in my head I can't hear reporting about Israel without thinking of it, and had forgotten that I've never actually heard Connolly do it! 😂
10:57 Yeah, I like to think that when Rob Brydan was listening to Stephen Fry's impressions and accents, he was thinking "why did I team up with Steve Coogan for that show? Stephen would have done it so much better".
Steven isn't very good at American. He tries to get a specific accent, That's the recipe for failure. Hugh Laurie was right, America is too big to know itself. It's never hurt all of the different American accents, and they all blend together in places. So just do a general one, and that will do great.
I'm constantly amazed by the delightful Mr Fry's ability to tackle any accent and do it well. Almost no-one can get an Australian accent right but, his is spot on and his Chewbacca had me crying.
Same here. It feels so effortless and natural, rather than the stereotypical, over-the-top and slightly nasally voice that a lot of people do for an Aussie accent
Such an amazing man. Altho' I've seen him in interviews and listened to some of his commentaries, I really never saw him as an actor until V. One line made him the most consummate actor of our time. At some point, I also saw him in Bones and he was very, very good. The barbecue story is an excellent story arc.
First invention that broke the sound barrier was the bull whip, I'd say... Because that crack from a whip is actually the tip of the whip passing the speed of sound, and is a mini sonic boom... 😁
I would happily spend an evening with Stephen drinking sherry and hearing his impersonations. Would remind me of some late nights drinking with the dons at Cambridge. One time, several bottles into the night after a formal, i was suddenly snogged by a certain mathematician. I was so startled, all i would think to say was "Well, we solved that theorum" to diffuse the tension in the room. Oh those were the days.
Ah, yes...the good old days when consent was not a consideration, and being started by an assault was considered 'frigid'. I am glad you had some fond memories, too!
It's amazing to realise that, much like Ozzy Osbourne, Sir Stephen Fry was a teenage tearaway and burglar. They both turned their lives around and brought joy to millions in their own way. {:o:O:}
Not much like Ozzy. Yes he stole some credit cards and went to movies. A "tearaway" is quite an exaggeration. Then he taught in a boarding school and went to oxford. Hard imagining Ozzy doing either. Ever
For a Brit, Stephen really knows his languages. For a highschool kid anywhere on the European continent, he would be middling. But again, for a Brit, hats off!
There was a Pilot whom when final checks before landing said, “Time to dangle the Dunlops”, and was fined and reprimanded for not using correct terminology. Now they find that the ‘reference words’ help concentration.
'inconceivable' is not a wrod that should be used to describe breast reduction surgeries. It IS a word that can be used to describe vasectomies, though.
Well, yea, Pythagoras isn't written with an I so actually the grandfather's pronunciation was better. That's just a weird kink of english, it ignores its own rules :)
I love Stephen Fry....intelligent humour that no one can equal! I haven't watched QI since Stephen stepped down. Sandi Toksvig is irritating, not funny at all!
Has there ever been an actual funny funny woman on this show ever….. and is it written in stone that any host of this show must be a bilingual gay presenter?….😂😂😂 our mr Fry is a national treasure and I’m surprised he’s not been given a knighthood. “Arise sir Fry!” …… A fun fact, did you know about stephens nose? That it was broken by a person at boarding school, fry never had it straightened because he doesn’t like the idea of being made “straight”…..😂😂😂 actually it’s supposedly because it’s to remind himself and the person that he’s been far more successful and he likes to remind himself of that everytime he looks in the mirror…”haha, that rotter broke my nose but look how rich and famous I am now…..😂😂😂 All jokes aside, I’d love Fru to become prime minister, he should run as an independent and I’m pretty sure he’s get far more votes than any politician…. Ever!! Our first gay premier, now that would be something wouldn’t it. It would certainly prove that is brits are far more accepting than we’re deemed to be. If only he was also black too, we could really use one of them, it would be far better than some slapnut nobody voted for…. Just to shake things up, we know it’s rigged, that regardless of who is voted in or who is the figurehead it matters not when it comes to anything regarding change, they still have to go before the House of Lords meaning we only have a pretend democracy, freedom is a myth; we have so many rules and regulations in place to stop most working class people from ever getting above their station, “oh you are doing very well aren’t you, you’ve risen above the minimum wage so now we’ll take 50% of that to stop you from making it out of the class your born into. You need to be extremely rich at that point you don’t have to pay tax and enjoy the interest rate bonus they give themselves at our expense…. They’ll one day turn the screw to much and we’ll snap under the strain, we’re all so busy trying to keep the Baliff at bay that we cannot afford to stop working and show them that the majority of this country absolutely hate the hypocrisy l, that’s why we have so many ridiculous motions and arguments put forward about race, gender, equality, etc etc that we find it impossible to unite against them and have the civil uprising we so desperately now need. We’re tired of being branded right wing racist homophobic xenophobic bigots because we have some idea of the culture we’re having erased by our leftist councils who constantly pander to the minority at the expense of the majority’s interests.
Thank you. Please for give me, but I believe Mr. Stephen Fry might be wrong concerning the lack of 'camp' horror movies, I think maybe "Carry on Screaming" (1966) would qualify.
Billy Connolly calling Stephen simply to repeatedly say "Benjamin Netanyahu" is a fantastic story! Absolutely quintessential Billy Connolly! 😂❤😂
It's so ingrained in my head I can't hear reporting about Israel without thinking of it, and had forgotten that I've never actually heard Connolly do it! 😂

@@CobralalalalaSAAAMMEEEE!!!))))
Stephen's accents are hilarious. I think the camp German one is my favourite.
'Camp' horror should be a genre
The German I met didn't find it so funny
I‘m from Germany, and I think it’s extremely funny 😄
'Var ist mein handy??'
Stephen is such a gem! The UK should be proud! I'm not english but I'm so happy Stephen is still with us. A great intellectual of our time.
Stephen’s one of those rare people who is incredibly good at all kinds of accents and impressions but uses them sparingly!
10:57 Yeah, I like to think that when Rob Brydan was listening to Stephen Fry's impressions and accents, he was thinking "why did I team up with Steve Coogan for that show? Stephen would have done it so much better".
@@klaxoncowCoogan is better at the faux competitive element

Nonsense. His Australian accent is ridiculous
11:00 I think about the line "It's time to push some service down the aisles and some scenery past the window" every time I fly.
I love hearing Stephen doing accents and impersonations
I love hearing Stephen in general :)
Then you're in luck. He does so in this very video!
Honestly, Fry is a damn icon of accents. Man has a mellifluous and marvelous voice.
Australian accent is spot on!!
Too right, mate! Few people do Aussie accents as well as Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie...and Australians.
@@daniellamcgee4251 As an Australian I think Stephen has a better accent than me.
@@FreshlyBakedLePain 😅 I believe you!
His Scouse accent is pretty spot on as well
can confirm
I'm constantly amazed by the delightful Mr Fry's ability to tackle any accent and do it well. Almost no-one can get an Australian accent right but, his is spot on and his Chewbacca had me crying.
Omfg. As an Aussie that impression was the most refreshing thing I've ever heard.
Same here. It feels so effortless and natural, rather than the stereotypical, over-the-top and slightly nasally voice that a lot of people do for an Aussie accent
Stephen Fry is a rare comedic genius. I can’t stop laughing. Endless talent & so charming!
I could watch and listen to Stephen for hours… and indeed I have 🤩👍
The Churchill impression about the guardsmen is just excellent, I feel like I’m a fly on the wall in Sir Winston’s bedroom.
His Aussie is flawless. That’s really impressive. Not forced. Five stars.
Oooooohhh the brilliance of Mr Dalliiard. ❤ Stephen Fry.
Mr Dalliard.. brilliant 😂
WE'VE BEEN ACTIVATED!
i'm glad Sandi was the one substituting him, no one else would have been up to the task!
The program is fantastic with Sandi, however Stephen is in a league of his own
They both are
Recognising another person of culture, I salute you good sir
Gods how I love Stephen Fry! He's the salt of the earth!
Thats the best foreigner doing an Aussie accent I've heard
Let's be honest. His Vincent Price and his Brian Blessed were on point... Blessed be he, you might say...
Vocabulary, manners, wittiness and good old charm, that's what all British people should be full of like Fry
Such an amazing man. Altho' I've seen him in interviews and listened to some of his commentaries, I really never saw him as an actor until V. One line made him the most consummate actor of our time. At some point, I also saw him in Bones and he was very, very good. The barbecue story is an excellent story arc.
Stephen Fry is an extraordinary man. I would love to meet him, buy him some whiskeys, then I’d shut up and just listen.
First invention that broke the sound barrier was the bull whip, I'd say...
Because that crack from a whip is actually the tip of the whip passing the speed of sound, and is a mini sonic boom... 😁
If I remember the episode correctly, that's exactly the answer they give.
Oh, wow that Aussie accent is spot on.
I never realised that he was such a master of accents. Superb.
Stephen's Vincent Price voice had me wheezing.
The video doesn’t allow subtitles because Stephen’s voice is so fine it travels through your mind
An all time best human.
Jesus his Belfast is spot on 🤣
I love his Aussie accent
Stephen is possibly the only non-Aussie I’ve ever heard nail our accent.
I would happily spend an evening with Stephen drinking sherry and hearing his impersonations. Would remind me of some late nights drinking with the dons at Cambridge.

0:03 "You know what they call a mobile phone?" That's a line you'd never hear today!

Not many people can do a credible Aussie accent but Stephen Fry is one..
Nothing beats General Lord Melchett.
The single most saddest celebrity death which impacted me was Rik Mayall, next I believe will be Stephen Fry.
2:18 We Aussies can't understand one another's accents, so we can't expect anyone else to.
This is still a bewildering array of impressions.
Stephen does all the voices❤😂❤
Stephen's impression of a Scotsman with an 'English' accent sounds rather like Victor Meldrew - quite apt given where Richard Wilson hails from!
I dont believe it! 👴
There was a Pilot whom when final checks before landing said, “Time to dangle the Dunlops”, and was fined and reprimanded for not using correct terminology. Now they find that the ‘reference words’ help concentration.
Why are 90% of QI repeats on Dave featuring Sandi - a bit more of Fry
would be appreciated !
No-one since Peter Ustinov was so entertaining and informative.
I like the Han Solo impression as well
'inconceivable' is not a wrod that should be used to describe breast reduction surgeries. It IS a word that can be used to describe vasectomies, though.
QI has not been the same since Fry left.
It's still great but I see where you're coming from
It's great despite the bigot that is the current host.
It’s now a woke mess. Went right down hill after Fry.
Great video, but it’s missing his incredible Jeremy Clarkson one: “three minutes in and you’re nursing a semi”
Steven fry, very talented man🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I miss Stephen as host. Sandy is fine, but she lacks his warmth and willingness to go on a tangent.
He still blows me away with his Australian accent. Seriously, he should be reading the ABC nightly news.
Legend❤
He’s a charm.
The Welsh one is so funny
Golden.
Sandi's done a fantastic job, but this is why i miss Stephen. Disappointed he hasn't returned as a panelist
9:50 just like Jacob Rees Mogg 😂
Well, yea, Pythagoras isn't written with an I so actually the grandfather's pronunciation was better. That's just a weird kink of english, it ignores its own rules :)
Glaswegian drunk in a Soho doorway
I wish Stephen did more voice acting
no u
Someone suggested the word popsicles should be pronounced as If it was an ancient Greek Person, and I for one am on. Meet - Popsicles.
I wonder if Stephen Fry could do a Christopher Walken😂
7:29 Aisling Bea is such a beautiful woman.
4:00 Stop Lou King!
His best one by far was “ Butros butros Garli”
Camp horror, just brilliant, and "broken" Scotsman
Makes one wish there had been a "Carry On..." film with a horror theme. Stephen's sample was pure Kenneth Williams!
@@jeraldbaxter3532 Carry on Screaming perhaps? Frying tonight!!!
@@terranceparsons5185 😅
His Irish was spot on. Sounded exactly like someone you'd find in a bar here.
Drink Canada Dry !!!
Got to love re-uploads of videos. Ah channels that just care about money and will happily use and reuse content they didn't even constuct.
Makes you proud to be British. Lol.
Its frightfully witty isn't it?
A stauner is Glaswegian
LAUGH IT UP FUZZBALL😂
I miss QI 😢
You know I'm wondering if the breast reduction surgeries in the German Army had anything to do with steroids now... just a thought.
I swear I just watched this compilation on another channel like a week ago. Low effort content.
It's a 4 year old video from the official QI channel and this parasite channel here isn't the first who stole it but it seems they don't care.
Jimmy Carr ftw
I love Stephen Fry....intelligent humour that no one can equal! I haven't watched QI since Stephen stepped down. Sandi Toksvig is irritating, not funny at all!
Benjamin NetanYAHOOO
what is so funny about "handy"?

Funny guy but not a good impressionist - except for the camp German. Maybe he has more experience with that accent than the others.
Flat-out rip-off. 👎
A waste of oxygen.
