Most people focus on Fry's amazing delivery, but also imagine that you're sat opposite this performance and your only task is to stay engaged and be ready to hit your timing and delivery perfectly into this stream of chaos, without the opportunity to establish and maintain your own rhythm and pacing. Greatest double act bar none.

chaos?
@YlyrraРік тому
@@ivok9846 Yeah. Not just apparent chaos to the viewer, but Stephen Fry is bound to be ad-libbing some of it, he can't help himself going off script. I'm sure the important beats are rehearsed but he's also bound to be throwing a few curve-balls at Laurie if only for the fun of it.

@@Ylyrra i think you a) didn't get most of it b) presume it's mostly improv because of a) now, why do you think it's ad-lib? have you devoted much thought to language and didn't found anything he said remindful of basics of linguistics?
@YlyrraРік тому
@@ivok9846 Interesting presumption about my intelligence and level of understanding. Or alternatively my reasoning could simply have been because of exactly the reasons I gave. Stephen Fry is notorious for ad-libbing, and also notorious for having fun with co-performers by keeping them on their toes if he thinks they'll rise to the occasion. He and many of the other of the mid-80s British comedians grew up on the improv circuit as much as on rehearsed skits. I find it UNLIKELY that he wasn't doing that at least some of the time with his longest collaborator and friend, just based on their personalities and how they've always interacted when interviewed together. But obviously I'm just too thick to "get it" must be the only explanation.

People falling over is funny, it's not a joke though and it's definitely not comedy. I think you're just hung up on the idea that it's a series of words followed by a punchline. Think physical comedy, character comedy, observational comedy, the fact that warped copies of things can be hilarious just by existing. Despite this being so heavily about words it's not really in the same realm as jokes, it's mannerisms and timing, notes on class, education and flirting, expectations being subverted. Fry does some brilliant physical comedy and turns on such a torrent of vocal tics so specific they almost demand you think you recognise them, and those unexpected lowbrow/highbrow switches keep giving it the rhythm of a joke that rolls along.

The comment about how Fry "turns on such a torrent of vocal tics so specific they almost demand you think you recognise them" is particularly insightful: I instinctively feel on first listen that I must've been born in the wrong era and 'ought' to recognise them as parodies of a whole string of intellectual figures who probably used to hold court on late-night 1970s arts programmes - yet in fact I think it's just Stephen relishing the chance to create archetypes of these sorts of tics without it needing to reference anyone specifically.
