@@team3383 I agree completely, Team33. But let me explain. What I meant by saying that David Fry was usually the 'straight' man what's that he was the serious side of the comedy team, while Laurie was often the punch bag. In the sexual sense I've always known that Fry is homosexual and atheist, two traits I do not like in any person. But I do admire his skills and some of his perceptions. Laurie of course is thought of as a more wide-ranging talent. For example, how many people know the story of how Hugh Laurie got the role for Dr. House in the TV series (a series created and written by a fellow Canadian)? He was so busy he wound up doing a verbal audition from a telephone booth somewhere and they hired him on the spot. Not many Americans or other fans realize this is a Brit with Brit accent but he done the role of House perfectly. I was astounded by the quality of his performance in that series. A giant talent, yet a modest man. And it does take a lot of courage to play a character who's an idiot, like George in the Blck Adder series...- which I loved - which of course highlighted the incredible abilities of another Brit, Rowen Atkinson.

I actually think he worked better with Rowan Atkinson on the black adder series. A bit of Fry and Laura always struck me as cringe and arrogant. I love Steven Fry on QI and in his parts in BA and just about any movie he is in but if it is his own sketch comedy it just doesn't play right. You need a believable straight man when you have what is supposed to be a dummy and Rowan just blows that out of the water. Now Laura playing serious roles was actually greatness.

@@DarthPoyner I read somewhere that nostalgia plays a part in how you feel about certain shows. I was 13/14 when I became a fan of Fry & Laurie, and I will admit becoming a wee bit obsessed with the show recently after reading 'Soupy Twists' by Jem Roberts. Some of the wordplay may have led it to strike you as cringe and arrogant, which is understandable. But Fry & Laurie were anything but, and for someone who adores the show that's surprising to hear from a Blackadder fan. Regarding Laurie's serious rolls, I've tried watching I really have, but when do I just want to go back to Blackadder and Fry & Laurie. Maybe nostalgia playing a part right enough eh.

True story. Was in Seattle (city in Washington State, USA) dealing with an American over a counter. Somehow the show House came up, and the USA citizen told me that the first time she saw Hugh Laurie outside of the show was on some televised awards show. She found him amusing because he spoke all the way through the awards show with a British accent. It wasn't until much later she found out he was British, and that was his natural speaking voice.

Hugh Laurie is one of those actors and comedians who, when he stands on his own, is absolutely brilliant. But he has obviously not let this dominate his performances nor his ego. When bouncing off others he is often even more funny than when on his own, and he knows to pair his own skills with those of others and get something out of it that is often simply pure genius. His pairings with Stephen Fry and Rowan Atkinson are a lasting testament to this. If I had my way these three blokes would be the faces depicted on the various denominations of the pound bill.

Stephen Fry is the perfect mix of everything English....an utterly brilliant mind but you'll never see him showing off...other than in a comedic way when he displays his amazing mind.

I grew up watching this (on reruns) but I still think of him as House while watching this now. That's how perfect he was for that role. Thank god Dennis Leary didn't get the part.
