It was nothing. He hadn't thrown it yet!

Ah, Quality....reminds me of Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance.

@@StephenS-2024 that book should have been called “western philosophy and the art of bad parenting”

@@anathamon ha! That's good.

that WAS INDEED NOTHING when compared to the line "it's because i'm dumb, isn't it sir"

😁😁

Sounds like a marching song, Left my wife in New Orleans, To die for Fry and eat fried beans, Left, Left, Left Right Left

I didn't see an episode of House until years after I had been a fan of Laurie's comedy career. Imagine how hilarious it is to see one of your favorite comedians playing Dr. House.

Never even occurred to me that obviously in some places people will have only seen Hugh Laurie as House. Absolute quality

@@makkapakka2098 that was me until very recently, he was only House and Stuart Little's dad

@@jordlopez I haven't seen that movie since I was a wee lad, was he really in that? He was also Major -- de Coverley in the Hulu Catch-22 miniseries, which I quite liked. (It didn't follow the book too closely, which is alright since doing a one-to-one adaptation of that kind of book is practically impossible. Heller didn't mind things being changed in adaptation. In fact, he thoroughly enjoyed the 1970 movie adaptation, making him one of the seven people who did.)

@@RabbiHerschel yeah, I distinctly remember rewatching Stuart Little a few years back and being like: "House is his dad? Really?" And there was no way I could misremember such an anomaly lol

This is why i don’t smoke.

Sorry to tell you but that won't do anything to stop anything bigger than a pellet gun

@@Voodoo_Robot you won't be surviving any german snipers like that sonny

@@Eralen00 Really? What am I going to do with the bullet proof vest I made out of cigarette cases then?

Yep

Nope laurie is funnier

Clint Eastwood's American accent was pretty good...

How about Daniel Day Luis?

How about Laurie?

It's because he's blind you see...

I never understood this observation. As House, he makes a drawn out meal out of every Amurican weurd. For excellent American accents done by Brits, Band of Brothers is the gold standard.

Absolutely… “Wooster and Jeeves” is perfect. But maybe not better than Black Adder. That was a true Dream Team of Brit comedy.

@@TampaDave The only Dream team of British comedy is Monty Python.

Yes, but this was his grandfather on his parents’ side.

@@General_Nothing all grandfathers are on the parents' side.

We’ll surely he wasn’t talking about his real grandfather here, it was likely made up for the skit!

Nnnnueman...

He has amazing sight and hearing, he just can't use it 😂

I don't think it's that funny- it's actually my own situation...

@@loge10 Congrats, I wish I had perfect sight and hearing.

"logically"

For their time? They are exactly of their time. There was a lot of this style around then. They are out there for today, probably. Comedy is much more of the everyday now

@@sophitsa79 yeah I guess it’s how ya look at it or how I worded that haha. It just hits my funny bone different than comedians of my day and it pleases me :)

Actually that would be 5.41 minutes or thereabouts

Wow really? I thought it was common knowledge that dumb had a medical meaning as well. Surprising. But I guess knowledge is often seen as a negative these days.

did you not see Jeeves and Wooster?

_Jeeves and Wooster_ is unequivocally Fry & Laurie's greatest work. _Blackadder_ is a riot as well.

''Well when you put it that way... yes''.

Idk, honestly that's the one joke that's almost something you could ordinarily say; it specifies that it's neither of your grandfather-in-laws.

@@hashbrown777 :) I guess that's what I mean about analizing their jokes.

''And I'd be alive today''.

You can see Fry almost trip over one of his lines. It's scripted, but that doesn't diminish it at all.

The show's name: A Bit of Fry and Laurie. That's all I know

Check the video's description

But done by a adult comic genius.

One of the best British comedy duos of all time

Not just funny, but a talented comedy writer as well. He and Fry co-wrote these skits. Laurie's comedic timing in House is flawless, and his acceptance speeches at awards shows are hilarious.

a some point Hugh Laurie decided to stop playing comedy and started acting in serious roles. The first of those role I saw him was as the grumpy husband of a hysterical Emelda Staunon in Sense and Sensibility with Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson.

@@kamion53 Thus ruining a brilliant comedic career,

@@kamion53 Mr Palmer wasn't him deciding to stop doing comedy and doing serious roles - a) it's not a serious role (apart from the one line where he offers assistance to the Dashwoods, everything he does is deeply ironic; it's a comic part), b) that was filmed around the same time as the last series of ABOFAL, and he continued to do primarily comic roles for years after that, and c) he was invited to do it personally by Emma Thompson, his long-term friend (and former girlfriend) as basically a cameo.

I think it was about a decade earlier

Sounds like what we Yanks refer to as a "laughtrack"....cue Dr Evil air quotes

Yeah, it had to be. Saying "pardon the pun" when neither of them has made one is bit of a running gag for them.

@@dars5229 Pardon?

They’re Britons.

Does it?

Are you sure you are on the right video?

@@Michael-dj6pd it's a joke, don't worry about it.

@@jeronimo196 That whole show is a joke.

This is definitely a more weird, meta one.

@@Dilmahkana funny.

Are you per chance german?

@@Michael-dj6pd Ich bin Amerikaner.

@@StephenS-2024 That explains the lack of comedic understanding.

And look where that got them... dead.

That's a dumber reason to die

That inane fake laughter was real laughter from an actual studio audience.

It's alright , your from modern times, subtlety is not your strong point.

I don't see how that is cringe AF but to each their own..
