A Bit of Fry and Laurie - Deaf and Blind

[@jakobbauz]

"And I'd be alive today." The sheer genius of their comedy still baffles me.

[@smoog]

@nightmare_cinema19 Its a play on the way people end stories of how their parents or grandparents miraculously survived something dreadful with, "If not for that, I wouldn't be alive today!"

[@tiatrips]

The slow realization the audience, and me, admittedly, had when what Fry said was great.

[@rozamunduszek4787]

"You mean you can see and hear perfectly?" "yes, because I'm blind and deaf"

[@philipmonihan8222]

One miraculously compensates for the other.

Well you see a blind person is someones who cant see but can hear, and a deaf person is one which cant hear is able to see. So You See such one can hear and see

Laurie always knows how to fall.

The way that Stephen Fry composes himself everytime he’s about to laugh

[@curiouscatlabincgetsadvenu3755]

They talk absolute nonsense for over five minutes and I'm mesmerized of how they can avoid screwing the script up beyond recognition! They're from another universe! :D

[@caykroyd10]

I absolutely love this sketch

[@christophersanders3252]

I do too.

[@o07t28]

The two Christophers unite to enjoy a Fry and Laurie sketch

[@AtumAten]

The first part makes me think of those essays we all wrote right before class.

[@abcd-ek3jl]

He is in a quantum superposition of deaf, blind and dumb states.

Depending on the observer I suppose?

Bizarre comparison to That Mitchell and Webb look

His Battle-blouse

[@travcollier]

The funniest part of that joke is that it isn't actually a joke. They were called blouses.

[@Constitution1789]

Well done.

Are cigarette cases references to Oscar Wilde and his preferred gifts to "rent boys"? Discuss.

[@Sarah-ev1gj]

Stephen Fry is the reincarnated spirit of Oscar Wilde.

[@briananthony4044]

@@dariel7001 Rent boy included men in their 20s. Pedophile refers to the love of boys/girls who are pre pubescent. For young teens it is called Hebephiles. For older teens it is called Ephebophiles

I didn't get the 'no pun intended' joke

[@sly4u247]

the joke is that he said no pun intended but there was no pun in the sentence.

I guess I'm dumb haha

@@marlenedietrich2468 No you're not. It's perfectly fine, some good jokes slip by all of us!

It's also a recurring joke on the show

Dr. House with a British accent! kekw

[@inshadowz]

Hugh Laurie with an American accent is acceptable only in light of his excellent on-point portrayal of the character :D

[@shantanutomar]

If you performed this sketch today, you'd be cancelled before you said "B" of Blind.

[@michaeligoe3935]

That's the saddest part of modern "civilisation".

[@MerkhVision]

That’s utter nonsense and not true at all lmfao

[@paulwiehe8354]

No you wouldnt. You are just whining because people dont laugh when you insult them.

[@C0n0li0]

Lmao not a single part of this sketch would be considered bad. Literally the tamest humor out there.

[@jonathanlee6660]

They kinda predicted cancel culture. The part where the soldier comes up and scolds him for making a joke out of war. Kinda what we have now. Ohh that sensitive topic is a joke to you? And shit like that
