Mean comments on the internet - “The unwanted caterpillar in the lovely salad,” Thank you Mr Fry, how eloquently put xx
We literally have an old saying in Vietnamese for this "Con sâu làm rầu nồi canh"!
I want to start using that. "Dude, dont be the caterpillar."
The unwanted DEAD caterpillar
I think it comes from Wodehouse, seeing as Stephen Fry is a big fan of his. In more than one short story he described someone having "a look like a vegetarian finding a caterpillar in their salad" or something of the sort.
@@bertrandd3813 given Fry literally played Jeeves, I think you can call him a little more than a big fan lol
For people confused, this clip is from 2009. Hence the lack of Twitter users in the audience, and Stephen Fry and Billy Bailey's more youthful appearance.
To be fair, the vast majority of the population are still not on Twitter, thankfully.
Not to mention how old Twitter looks
Thanks for the confirmation. I knew it was older, but the Iran protest comment was a good clue.
And Graham himself. Haha
Also Stephen Fry was the first big celeb to use twitter.
Those were such an innocent times back When Twitter being a tool for social change was still fascinating for people, not the headlines for next days news...
It's a sad example of why "we can't have nice things"
Only the news they want us to see.
Most everything is innocent, neutral, harmless....until Humankind discovers it and ruins it.
Dark side...
"Headlines"?
"News"?
Who even use Twitter anymore...
... for anything worthwhile, I mean.
“A UA-cam film” - ah yes, 2009.
More like "Ah yes, Stephen Fry".
“Biological field notes” hahahaha Bill Bailey is hilarious
I had to watch that part twice it made me laugh so much
My god what a throwback to a completely different time...yet it was only 10 years ago.
"completely". Let's compare 2010 with 2000 now
A completely different time? Why? Intelligent conversation? This episode could be from 2021 as far as I'm concerned. Genuine question! p.s. I do not use Twitter - which as such has had zero impact on my life.
@@pretzelberger2125 No because of how much technology has changed in this decade.
Considering 1 Million followers a lot is so quaint now.
He's at over 12 Million these days.
I checked that to! haha
This was 10 years ago, dark ages of twitter. Considering how many people in the room had twitter accounts, I'd say 1 million was big for UK.
@@andreidinu7316 "dark ages of twitter", I think it's still there or even downgraded to the Paleolithic age even!
@@METALFREAK03 in terms of quality, probably. I only follow people that post regular business updates, so I don't see all the other stuff. But I understand it can get ugly pretty fast.
Now THAT is an intelligent couch (and interviewer’s chair). Well done Mr Norton.
"Is that the bald man with the long hair?"
That, sir, is called a skullet. You can thank Devin Townsend for that.
Imma steal that
😎
He had a dreadlock skullet, didn't he? That's a whole new level
That’s Bill Bailey, the only man in the universe allowed to get away with that.
I was not expecting a Devin mention in the wild like this
The world needs more people like Bill Bailey, who could take a joke at the expense of himself like a champ!
Aye, poor chap though. Low blows.
True Brit, 🥰😇🇬🇧
Nearly all British comedians are like that.
Both Stephen and Bill (and Graham!) are such legendary people, it is a real treat to have them together on a show like this!
Stephen Fry & Bill Bailey. Wow. They make a great team.
Hugh Laurie: Excuse me?
I share him with the world © Hugh Laurie
Hugh can have a new show with Dylan Moran. Wait that sounds awesome
Bill Bailey and Alan Davies
@@duke_hugo That's a brilliant idea
Hugh Laurie and Dylan Moran 😯 they would be amazing together
“WHY HAVE THEY CHANGED PRINGLES???”
Me: did they?
Have they?!?!? 😱😱😱
Just announced a change in the picture on the tube. Mildly relevant.
P&G sold it to Kellogs a few years back.
This was 2009
I love that it was called twittering instead of tweeting
I noticed that! I'd forgotten that existed.
It was called tweeting, they were just being silly.
😂 I have always referred to it as Twits Twittering.
It's either a Brit thing or Graham Norton not knowing what he's talking about. I heard "tweeting" from the first I heard about Twitter, circa 2006-2009
It was always called tweeting 😅 i was there... i know...
Stephen Fry and Bill Bailey, put these two together in absolutely anything and I will watch it.
Is that the bald guy with the long hair? LOOOOL
I'd forgotten how photos were twitpic links before. How far we've come 😂
Stephen Fry is always very captivating! Great narrator of Audio books as well!
Stephen Fry could narrate a murder and make the victim feel calmed..
Have you heard him recite the words for snow on Kate Bush's song "50 Words For Snow" ? Brilliant piece by Kate, and Fry was the perfect voice to use. ua-cam.com/video/UGtYgN0j0RE/v-deo.html
I really liked him as Oscar Wilde. Great film. Not too well known, here in 'the states', but Fry is clearly talented and quite intelligent. And funny, too. So, is the other guy on the show, Bailey. Very entertaining. Cheers.
@@waynej2608 Stephen and Bill are both extremely intelligent. I'd say Bill is genius level.
Until someone in the book has to put something into his pocket...
Fry: Online comments are unnecessarily mean
Also Fry: roasts the eff out of Bill Bailey 🤣
It's not often Fry gets to Roast Bill, it's usually the other way around on QI :P
In fairness, it was to his face and it was an affectionate roasting. As an aside, pro tip: do NOT Google "affectionate roasting"
In person it's banter.
It's just banter between friends. Very different to internet trolls.
I get that you're only joking though;)
@@JohnVella1968 ROFLYSST
I'm very surprised that in the info segment below the clip they don't include the original air date. It would really be a welcome addition I think for many people.
I remember Stephen Fry being the king of Twitter back in the day 😂
Adore Stephen Fry. He is a gift to the world.
Well, he certainly thinks so
@@ruthmeb He's confident. It's a good thing.
He has suffered with depression for most of his life, he is trying to move forward positively.
@@ruthmeb Well millions agree with him, it's a shame you can't see past that.
Man this clip was a time capsule I didn't know I needed to open. Made me think of a slightly more innocent seeming time.
Graham Norton’s laugh at 2.38 had me ROFLYSST
Yh I lt gets me all the time 🤣😂
@@Steve-sq4rj Yet Somehow Still Typing. It's a Bill Bailey reference
"How many of you Twitter?" 😆
Dying to know what year this was.
@@chrispham2731 i came across some comments saying it was 2009😂 so almost prehistoric levels of long long ago in the beforetime
When a comedian (Billy Bailey) can make a fellow comedian (Stephen Fry) laugh heartily you know Billy Bailey is funny and he so artfully turned what almost amounted to an insult into a self deprecatory joke then the man is practically invincible!
You do know they've known each other for literally decades before this interview in 2009?
@@michaelversace456 Tweet about it.
Two of the most intelligent men Graham has ever had at one time.
That comment is so laden with innuendo. You should become a writer of Catty On films.
@@grahamlive Autocorrong.
Ah, the before times. When Twitter was new and exciting, not a smouldering helllscape.
Bucket list: make Stephen Fry laugh and have him say "Very good".
Stephen’s “oh darling” 💜
if ignorance is bliss, then I'm in a constant state of ''O" from never having ventured into the Twitter-verse. and that's the way I like it.
Same! Multiple “O” if you’re not an tilting!
I was briefly a subscriber to Twitter in 2017. Stephen Fry was extolling the pleasures of swearing and reeled off the usual suspects (God help us, there are so few). I just had to reply, so I said, "Yes, Stephen but we don't all have your education".
Yes!
Title: Stephen Fry & Bill Bailey Hilariously Read The Audience Members Tweets
Video: Graham Norton hilariously reading the audience members' Tweets.
Stephen and Bill did read them. Just not out loud. 😉
Stephen Fry is so amazing.....
oh wait did he just say "there are comments, people who have decided to be unalterably mean and utterly resentful " *We all leave the chat*
btw, Stephen and Bill did not read the twits, Graham does.
Love when Graham polled the audience about being on twitter. About 5 people raised their hands. I guess most Britons know a waste of time when they see it.
Nope. This has 10 years ago, that's t'he reason.
This was just the beginning of twitter 10/11 years ago ⏳
It was years ago. But to be fair, most people I know (I'm in the UK) don't bother with Twitter even now, so perhaps you're correct:)
The internet is a lovely salad green in a mass of dead caterpillars.
Is it just me or Bill looks a bit like Shakespeare ?
Reincarnation
btw, Stephen and Bill did not read the twits, Graham does.
Does it strike anyone else how different they all look compared to now when it wasn’t that long ago?
It was at least 10 years ago.
You haven’t aged in 10 years ?! I want your secret...
How does Bill Bailey look any different? I swear that man has looked the same for the last 30 years.
@@phoenix9921 Bill has gotten very grey over the past 2-3 years, you can definitely tell a difference. His general "benefit" is that he always looked older than he was due to the bald-egg-thing.
@Alien Dewd
Not to me it isn't!
"How many of you Twitter?" 😆
Dying to know what year this was.
Think it was 2009
Never had Twitter and don’t want it.
@@leslieollerhead1114 it's nothing special. I have barely used it and I've had Twitter since 2010. It's also become a vile place.
@@leslieollerhead1114 me neither... xD
Tell us about it, its full of TERFs.
Love Stephen Fry. What a beautiful soul 🙏🏼♥️
I am literally ROFLYSST right now... 🤣⌨
I love Stephan Fry. wicked smart and not only is he a funny lovely actor.
but I love his activism as well
Stephen should've been Prime Minister of the Whole World.
There was me thinking, 'oh how Twitter has changed'... 'Having an anti-men day today'.
Nope, it's always been a cesspool.
When Twitter was used to make statements that meant something...
So nothings changed
why have they changed pringles???
"Today I have an anti-men day"?
*nothing
fixed.
There should be a new acronym for Twitter shorthand, wis (for "weeing in seat"). Pronounced, of course, "wizz".
Graham’s laughter always makes my day 🥰😂
Underdog 100 is me trying to sleep. Too many thoughts flapping about. 😂😂😂
"Who here Tweets?"...out of an audience of 500 people 3 people put there hands up....that was hysterical...
The good old days!
I still don't. Rebel without a clue, me! :)
Most people don't, tweeters are the vocal minority
I just followed @underdog100 can verify the rest of her twitter is more of the same, love it! glad i followed her LOL
No activity since Jul 2011...
I feel like that Twitter was always more of an american thing. In Europe it never got that big. It doesnt even seem that interesting tbh.
I'm from America and I agree. Social Media is all overrated and useless.
It's big in the UK. Are you from Croatia?
@@grahamlive yes I am... twitter is not that huge here.
@@loringjohnson7797 well it can be very useful... I am glad that I can keep up with my relatives from Australia...it is easier over Facebook to stay in touch.
Sometimes it can help to solve cases for missing persons. Everything has good and bad sides. So it is not completely useless...but maybe sometimes people could use the good sides more.
How could anybody dislike Stephen Fry, or Bill Bailey for that matter?
Bill Bailey is one of my favorite people of all time!!!!
Bill Bailey at the end, Rolling on the floor yet still typing.. umm yeah its called having a phone. :L I'm ROLFYST RN :D
Remember this is a decade ago. "Smart" phones were pretty new and hardly anyone in UK had them yet (let alone use them for mudane things like twitter).
Absolutely incredible insight into how much things have changed in last 12 years. Quite sad really
I would never have thought to see Stephen Fry wearing those socks.
"biological field notes!" Love that line.
The orange lady's tweets are what the tweets of today's time is although some more aggresive, petty and just for clout1
Can we appreciate the fact that they all had every chance to be boomer-y yet they genuinely weren't, and rather than mock progress seemed to be overall positive about it? I rather liked that.
Graham has always been this weird mix of dismissive boomer and insane zoomer.
The best thing humans could do is stop using social media and go back to normal.
Oh the irony.
@@JulieWallis1963 Thanks for this, dear-I canNOT stop laughing!!
♥️😂🤣😂♥️
Before Musk destroyed it.
Could do a whole show of Fry and Bailey. Just saying
Bill Bailey is such a lovely person
You can really date a clip when a comedian is making a joke about internet acronyms.
I love Bill Bailey's Kentucky Waterfall.
No views 25 secs ago ...im early
I love these three guys. All of them have a unique humor and instant wit. Hold up a matchstick, all three they will find their own humor from it.
I love this show as well as his two guests today. All three are masters of their craft.
Chat shows are so much better in the UK than here in the US. Just hysterical!😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Agreed!!!!
From what I've seen American hosts make it about them too much, and not the guests.
@@michaelcolbourn6719 agreed!!
Appreciate that you said IN the UK, because James Corden has tried to make his show a mix of Graham Norton's and Jimmy Fallon's...and it's just far too much me me me James Corden, like Fallon.
Because US chat show hosts always have to rush their guests so that they can go to commercial breaks every two minutes. Totally ruins the flow of any potentially good conversation.
My biggest wish is to somehow see Graham Norton, Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen together on a chat show..... Either here on Grahams or @Andy's
"A good wee."
It sounds intentional. õ.Ô
It’s so weird to see Stephen and Bill as equals and not teacher and chaotic student. I don’t like it roflyst
Graham Norton >>>>>>>> Fallon, Kimmel, Conan, and Meyers
u been drinking
Chill with conan hes the only good one.
Nothing beats Conan's remotes.
Fry is coming back for the next episode! :D
"A UA-cam film"
Bill Bailey is hilarious. xD
The placid reading partly serve because input exemplarily trip by a mindless woolen. satisfying, encouraging barometer
Hey Bill, here in the States, we call it the, “Skullit” or “The Ben Franklin”. 😂
was this removed at some point and re-added? i could swear i've seen this one before, and i've only been watching these clips over the last few months
I have also seen it before 🙂
@@doublelightangel well at least not i'm crazy lol
Fry is the new Ustinov. Brilliant.
Oh hey, they mentioned Mark Watson, he's a super underrated comedian.
He tells it like a pear cider that's been made with 100% pear(s).
Is it from 2009??
I thought he was going to say WOS for wee on seat.
AGW
"Stephen Fry & Bill Bailey Hilariously Read The Audience Members Tweets" - click bait or what? a) They didn't read them; Norton did and b) none of it was hilarious.
0:27 Are Brits generally more aware of the wider world? Here in the US no one knows about the 2009 protests in Iran.
Yes.
Poor James was completely taken off guard. Bless him
He did have a wobble, when he decided that nobody else could have a valid opinion.
Somehow I'd missed this until now, but better late than never! You've made my night, and I thank you!
The title doesn't match the content.
We rebuke you stephen fry by the blood of Jesus Christ we cast you out ..you will be accountable for your words against Living God ...Heaven and there's Dammed to hell Stephen fry you will remember your family
You have my sympathy Cindy - you must be a very troubled individual.
I think atheism would make you much happier......... !
@@andymccabe6712 please be 🤐
Fun fact: the Pringles chips changed after the company tried to make a "light" version. How they solved the light chip conundrum was to rebrand original Pringles as light, and make a new super unhealthy version. Solved the problem with zero cost, and allowed the brand to evolve and bring out new flavors without the health-conscious mob condemning the company.
Incredible. Marketing people are truly evil geniuses
If they ever resurrect Jim Henson's Storyteller series they should really get Stephen... I could listen to that man talk for hours! 🙂
Underdog100 is the definition of twitter back then 😂
I'd never leave any of these guys a negative comment.
I text CAB which is short for chuckled a bit... Way more honest than LOL
Yes, everyone. Twitter used to be this fun!
Since Elon Musk took over Twitter, it has become a salad of unwanted caterpillars.
Stephen Fry. Legend.
Over a million followers? When did this air? Stephen has over 12. 5 million followers now
2009 apparently :)
@@livvifrazer4313 thx
Absolutely hilarious 😅🤣😂😅🤣
Wow, Bethan Denroe (wee woman) is absolutely beautiful, seriously stunning!
I totally agree with you, I think she's just gorgeous.
You are killing me here! XD Bear hugs, Kata
Can y'all PLEASE put the air dates in the title or AT LEAST in the description? Jesus. It's maddening.
