I get worried whenever laurie says good morning.

I knew a guy like this once. He was a barber.

I love it when Fry plays the silly, impossibly eloquent guy, it's golden

I love his use of language, he says the strangest of sentences, but makes them sound fabulous.

"You'll humor a dying man" always kills me

"He's upstairs in the Cellar"

I could listen to Stephen Fry talk like this all day.

"You really should talk to father he's upstairs in the cellar." I love how easily they just pass right over that beautifully absurd comment.

Watched Fry & Laurie hundreds of times, yet I always notice something new each time. Just realised at the very start, he's polishing his hands :D

Fry's lines remind me of those "written by a bot" stories.

I love how "your earth pounds" is glossed over

Stephen Fry can recite a sentence half a mile long in one breath but he nearly suffocates from laughter due to the Acropolis where the Parthenon is. What a strange world we live in.

"There is a sweet shop not two miles way from here..." Considering the way these sketches go, I'm willing to bet that means the distance is something like ten miles. Not two miles, in other words.

-And if two broad-shouldered long-fingered young men such as ourselves can come independently to the conclusion that the morning they are currently experiencing is one of a goodness, then one of a goodness it most assuredly is.

This is batshit insane in the best possible way

LOL. The man who speaks in written English.

This is, so far, the Stephen-Fry-est Stephen Fry I've ever heard. Absolutely peak. He demonstrates an incredible command of the English language, excellent skill in speaking any of these sentences, and a beautiful comedic presentation through it all. Now, I'm going to spend the rest of my life wondering if this is the best of Stephen Fry, or if the UKposts Algorithm will serve up something even more quintessential.

"You'll humour a dying man...." XD The frank delivery of Fry's most random and hilarious lines is awesome.

Stephen Fry: Quite brilliant in his insane delivery. How on earth does he remember all that dialogue without a stumble?

You know it's going to be a good sketch when Stephen's character refers to Hugh's character as "Sir."

"Your Earth Pounds." I still use that.

"...which Sir would be so kind as to cast over with sir's eyes which I cannot help but noticing are of a lovely blue which would go very well with the wallpaper in one of my godniece's back rooms" ahahahahaaa :D

Humor requires intelligence. These two are high on that.

Stephen Fry in the Mr Dalliard sketches is hilarious.

Leaving? but we're engaged! HAHAHA!!!

I was high the first time I saw this sketch. No lie I laughed so hard I was violently sick. These guys are pure class and they were ahead of their time.

ok stephen fry is an absolute genius

"Sir, I am chastened and bowed. Ever the man of affairs, sir has reminded us all, - all - of our duty." "I did sir; sir, I did." Just superb.

Teacher: "describe the subject in your own words, using at least 500 words or more"

I tense up every time hugh says good morning now.

They do verbose inanity so well. Love it!! I can't believe I had forgotten how much I loved 'A Bit of Fry and Laurie' when I was younger. The fact that I haven't seen it on TV since its original airing may have something to do with it. I feel my memory has cheated me!... Oh well.... At least the continual repeats of 'Black Adder' reminds me of why I have such nostalgic affection for them both.

One of the funniest sketches ever, I nearly spat my gin out.

Laurie: Good morning Fry: MR. DALLIARD, OH MR. DALLIARD DO COME QUICK.

Should've married him just to drive the relatives insane.

The thing about Fry & Laurie is, that there was never someone like them and there still hasn't been someone like them. It's just so uniqe and fresh :D

how is it possible that the more I watch this, the harder I laugh? these two are pure genius.

0:49 "Did you?" This line is HILARIOUS!!

What I always remember most about this show is the sense of comic misdirection taken to the absolute extreme, and this is a classic example

"He's upstairs, in the cellar." heheheh

youtube captions is like 'im not doing that'

He's upstairs in the cellar hahahhaa

One of my favorite sketches of theirs : ) Thank you England!!! You've provided me most of my favorite things!

Now I understand why Fry is the one narrating for the film "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". An absolutely perfect match.

Fry is the original becomes increasingly verbose meme.

Stephen Fry is just plain amazing.

This must be how the TOEFL listening sounds like to foreign students.

Seems like a weird nightmare Bertie Wooster would have in the middle of a crazy caper (though nothing could be crazier than every aspect of the dream itself). Seriously, the most bizarre thing I've ever seen.

Has to be one of the best sketches I've EVER seen! "Hilarity ensues" indeed :D

That’s what YOU said , I barely spoke at all. 😆

XD This progressed so obviously but it still had me laughing at the randomness of it all. Plus all the weird little one-liners thrown in all the time.

What is the moral of this story? Do not tell ''good morning'' to Stephen Fry.

I love the gayness at the end, it bringeth light unto my earthbound heart

That is.. Brilliant.. Love the way Fry can play with the english language.. :D

Stephen looks and sounds amazing

That end made me in tears 😂😂😂😂

"yes we've had sexual intercourse yes... not in a biblical sense" 🤣🤣 oh dear lord when he said "just tell me the freaking price" I completely lost it!

"'Here is a morning, O mother of my bosom,' I overred, 'as fine and crisp and gutty as any since the days that Compton and Edrich opened for England; and the sun never went down on the British without asking permission first.'"

Brilliant, just brilliant!

"40,000 of your earth pounds." Is he an alien, too? XD

"I don't have an opal fruit On Me !" xD

"Since sir has been kind enough never to be Peter Sissens..." ;D

That ending!

This gives me such an Alice in wonderland Vibe

It's insane how many great lines are in this video

'He's upstairs in the cellar' Genius XD

"Upstairs in the cellar". 😀😂 I'd say "Downstairs in the Attic."

This is brilliant

I really believe he knows what basic idea he wants to get across at the beginning of the sketch and then he makes most of the dialogue up along the way.

Love watching these clips. Not sure how i got here, but love them. So very sad that these times will never come back with nowadays “humor”

He's just upstairs in the cellar. * hippity hop *

This is so duxking funny.

pommy comedy is the best timeless..

Seeing the setup, I kept waiting for Fry to call to Mr. Dalliard.

"I'm getting engaged next week" ROFL

Hugh Laurie's rather attractive here. :) "You really should speak to father, he's upstairs in the cellar." Haha, genius.

I half expected him to, after receiving the 218 pounds to say something like: "The ring will be a thousand pounds. I gave you the price for 218 pounds, the price of the ring is a thousand pounds".

genius.

I certainy wish I could enunciate my english in such a manner as Fry.

Sir is as dogged in his pursuit of detail as Roy Walker, presenter of the never popular Catchphrase, is dogged in his pursuit of a thick earlet. Heh heh heh briiiiiliiiant!!!

“ Father is upstairs in the cellar”

So good.

Those skits are great to test your level of fluency in English language. At low level of understanding Shakespeare's tongue you fell like it's all gibberish. Few levels higher and you understand it is, in fact, gibberish.

@saytheremeg ...and when he says "you should talk to father-- he's upstairs in the cellar" :)

I'm Swedish so I don't know if it's an actual expression but "the sun never went down on the British without asking for permission" is a hell of a great quote.

Wait. Hilaire Belloc is dead?

I think you must be right. He's clever enough to do exactly that.

Well, this was... someting. :D

@livvyxo Oh, alright. Thanks for clearing that up for me. I appreciate that.

some one could tell me please what saing in the second 2:02 i can hear than say( i went belong) what is that mean if some one could tell me, i barely start learn english and is difficult for me the listening

I would be equally at fault if I were to let it go for less than 90.

Ok, I can't help seeing Hugh Laurie trying to have a conversation with General Melchett.

Long winded for no reason 😂😂😂 so beautifully bizarre

Real comedy

Hugh is too cute

His father is upstairs - in the cellar? :D

I just discovered that Opal Fruit is what they call Starburst in England

One really needs to watch this a few times to really catch everything they've actually said... 'Youngest of my mothers"??? xDDD Even the public didn't realize that! xDDD

"Do you mind if you stand up sir . I think , perhaps your sitting down idea was ahead of it's time " The comic sketch portraying these two genius gentlemen, sure did take me through certain hilarious insights of their well crafted sapid jocund having nourished and nurtured with umpteen moments of jovial interaction which indeed was supported with the very judicious and prudent stuffings of sheer humourous spells which rather led to the promising smiles and gradually took some steep turns through the valley named 'Laughter' and steadily manged itself to accelerate on the path of bright eyed and bushy tailed tarmac addressed as " Laughed to Death" and wished to carry on seamlessy with spontaneous jerks of utmost hilarity ......................................

This is just the barber scene again

There is a sweetshop but two miles from here, I shall get you some Opal Fruits
