A Bit of Fry and Laurie Street Interviews

[@Mezzy..]

the reason why I love stephen fry so much is because of how dirty his jokes can be while having such a distinguished smart voice

[@klee_.fangirl]

Fry and Laurie are the funniest humans in existence

[@artywolve]

Comedy aside, their acting is SO. GOOD. Just their body language and mannerisms, especially Hugh Laurie, they completely become the characters so that it seems totally natural even when they're women. The mousiness of the guy who "did pot, once" or the poorly concealed embarrassment of the wine merchant - if I didn't know their faces and met them on the street like this I would be completely fooled.

[@andrewjohnson6716]

They said in their reunion special that these Vox Pops were mostly improv. They came up with these off the top of their heads!!

[@GreenDay1695]

''This is one of them hidden camera things, is it? ... No? Oh, well I was gonna say, it's not very well hidden is it?'' that one got me

[@Spiderswebable]

"I was very shocked when my son told me his boyfriend was homosexual." Ahahhaa genius.

[@theocean1973]

“Hommoh-secksuwall!”

[@BadWebDiver]

The perfect conservative comment that one is! 😅

[@lexagon9295]

If anyone's wondering what the hell Stephen is saying at 3:05, he's quoting the Count of Monte-Cristo: "Un papier plié en quatre tomba de la poitrine d'Edouard. Villefort, foudroyé, se laissa aller sur ses genoux ; l'enfant s'échappa de ses bras inertes et roula du côté de sa mère."

[@lexagon9295]

Thank you, I appreciate that my comment inspired you to pause your quest to police the maintaing of high commenting standards on KZbin to write a long comment on how little you care about mine. Well done on informing us that you yourself are unable to provide any interesting additional information!

[@billbogg3857]

It is remarkable that anyone would quote from the book and even more that someone else would recognise it.

[@anoukdevries8144]

Thank you for info, but could you translate what was said to English, that's what I'm most curious about.

[@emmabroughton2039]

Anouk de Vries - "A paper folded in four fell from Edouard's chest. Villefort, thunderstruck, let himself go on his knees; the child escaped from his inert arms and rolled to his mother's."

[@scarfhs1]

Yes, I thought that was it.

[@TheCheweeRevolutions]

I like how they manage to do completely convincing women without even changing their voices

[@elenapanova4809]

Because they found out that, contrary to popular belief, women normally DO NOT speak in high-piched, convoluted voices

[@mdkooter]

@@elenapanova4809 It's not popular belief, women generally speak in a significantly higher pitched voice than men do - just statistics and science and biology. This is mostly genetics (Gender/hormones) and partially culture (women have started to start speaking in lower pitched voices to project more authority due to feminist concepts and egalitarianism).

[@elenapanova4809]

@@mdkooter no, really?! Why thanks for the mansplaining, I've never heard a woman speak, what with being a woman myself...

[@rockon304]

@@elenapanova4809 Wow, you say something wrong and in a confident way as if it's a fact and accuse someone of mansplaining when he corrects you. I guess it's quite a handy tool in debates. I'll use something like that next time.

[@casey6556]

The wine merchant joke (2:27) is especially hilarious given that there was actually a scientific study conducted on enology undergrads (ie people studying wine science) and many had trouble distinguishing red and white wine

[@zacmumblethunder7466]

I'm not surprised. Wine experts go on about it tasting of new mown hay, macadamia nuts, shoe polish or Leprechaun's bath water, but never seem to notice that it tastes of fermented grape juice.

[@hallonsylt6729]

Well how could you ever tell wheather it's red or white if you are blindfolded?.. 🙃😎

[@casey6556]

@@hallonsylt6729 Supposedly they taste different. Of course any pair of wines will taste different, but reds are supposed to have different shared qualities than whites overall. And yet nonetheless even the experts struggle to tell.

[@Serpillard]

Doesn't make sense, I'm no wine expert but even I can tell the difference. Then again, I'm French, so maybe that's why.

[@SAMTYLER1974]

There's just something about Hugh dressed as a woman that will always be so damn hilarious ... always

[@ModernMoonBean]

I COMPLETELY agree. And when I see Fry, I think, “I want to know her.” Usually, anyway.

[@angelinasheppard3702]

"Well. I'm a Capricorn. And my boyfriend is.. an alcoholic."

Hugh Laurie does humour so well. "Walked into a shop the other. 14 stitches," so funny xD

[@sals4659]

I don't get it

[@MyKoira]

He walked into it, meaning that he bumped into it, and got a cut that needed to be stitched

[@eclaire_x88x]

It's missing the best one: "20 pounds! So I said 'I'll toss you for it'. So he said 'what will you do for 50?'"

[@myralatham189]

This was done so long ago but still hilariously true. I wish Laurie and Fry would do sketches like this again.

[@Omni315]

"that home secretary, he's a twit isn't he?" Some jokes never age

[@battybatramone]

[@christinescarff4920]

Love all of this especially young people only being attracted to church by leather and bondage films, but they’re generally Young Conservatives !

At 4:35: "These are turkey legs... you'd be surprised how versatile they are!" - this short pause felt like eternity when I watched this skit for the first time, because I thought "no, you're not going to say next what I think you're going to say next, ARE YOU?!" - and then of course he did.
