I wish people would stop calling Martin small, adorable, 'like a kitten', etc etc. I don't see any of that. He's a very classy man. A man with style. And he carries himself with such dignity and cool, all while he makes you crack up when you least expect it! That is truly admirable! Also I think he's really hot!

[@MissMiserize]

LOL, those guys should see fargo! And yes, very hot. Love him. :)

[@Shadywolf09]

I agree with you; there's nothing cute or adorable or whatever. Just because he's short and walks "funny" doesn't mean he's forever in this box labelled "cute" He's classy, kind, sharp, sassy, a right arsehole with a temper but knows when to cover it up and crack a joke, yet has no trouble telling someone to fuck off, which I admire. People say, "Martin's walk is so cute," is stupid. So he's small, big deal. He's got a "dodgy leg" as he says from childhood. He knows a hell of a lot about fashion, hence the cravat. There's more to a person than the dreadful word, cute.

[@MissMiserize]

Blais Wait, people think the walk is cute? He lok like he came back from the military.

[@nonaau4791]

He is all the things you said, AND adorable. cuteness and coolness/dignity aren't mutually exclusive! It's the same for benedict too. You can be cute and a badass; like most of the cast of sherlock, yes i've seen the meme.

[@KarrieDreammind5]

+Nona Au If they're mutually exclusive, like you say, how can he be both?

[@WeCaredALot]

LOL the sass is strong in this interview

[@soppyh8058]

THIS MANS SASS WILL RULE THE WORLD

[@bananalubeidi100]

I know you wrote this comment ages ago but I just want to say, your profile picture matches perfectly with your comment. And yes, it will.

[@soppyh8058]

Banan Alubeidi My profile picture is my own spirit animal

[@astro_penguin_]

@@soppyh8058 honestly, he's mine too

[@fuddnugget5998]

Martin is very witty and cheeky in this interview, very refreshing to watch; not that he isn't normally witty, I feel like he controlled this interview rather than be seated as the interviewee. Very entertaining, and what an admirable personality.

[@jessicat96]

*ross mocking martin* him: "you know what i'd love to see you in? -a top hat" martin: "you know what i'd love to see YOU in? A f*king box" WIn.

[@SoapySoul]

you don't go out, what do you do? I stay in.. THIS IS GOLD

[@katiejewel8319]

The sass... the sass is so majestic.

[@Cosmiclight475]

He's got such a quick wit

[@stephy0804]

holy crap I nearly jumped out of my chair when Martin said "The hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy" in that voice

[@rohitb2607]

Martin Freeman is a very endearing person to watch. Great as Bilbo, Watson, also in a dark setting like Fargo, his screen presence gives out a relaxing feeling.

[@zoejoy2927]

He is honestly the funniest person I've ever seen

[@viatoretvenus]

12:38 Now we need a Bob the Builder movie with Martin Freeman as the titular character.

[@between_forest__and_sea6658]

viatoretvenus Please make this happen.

[@andimoz]

Martin, I can't handle your sass XD

[@ashleywass4]

On almost every talk show I have seen him on the host and him are passing back and forth insults and thats the whole show. The only reason it works is that both people have the same humor otherwise it would just be rude and innapropriate. He isn't cocky and rude, it's just his type of humor.

[@majagustafsson]

(about the action figure) "it got cheekboones" ... it falls of the ledge. a premonition of Sherlock or WAT???

[@Danielevans2]

OMD his acting at 8:24 is incredible!!

[@musicalacting]

They look genuinely mad at each other XD

[@1kimiandy]

jonathan: "do you go out? do you have fun?" martin: "i have fun but i dont go out." jon: "what do you do?" martin: "i stay in" sass-master right there.

[@Liz-eb1lv]

Literally found this video by the search "Martin Freeman being sassy". Was not disappointed.

[@HaiThereItsVinisha]

i love him, i love him so much. so freakin funny

[@allyndeimos]

this is great. they make fun of each other and insult each other and it's all okay. why can't EVERYONE be like this? gotta love the brits.

[@pia91]

the sass is extra-strong in this one :D and rightfully so, that was at the time when Jonathan was pretty full of himself!

[@GetPhunkyWithIt]

I enjoyed the audience's pause after "Do you wanna touch helmets" they were like can we laugh at that or not.

[@girl18296]

I can never get enough of British comedy!!! :D Martin freeman!!

[@lenaromeoetjuliette]

Martin Freeman is so funny!!! even when he is swearing!

[@jaskbanner]

I was in tears from laughing so hard. Martin was the perfect foil to Jonathan. Loved it!

[@minningjh]

They are joking in their banter people! Martin is always sarcastic and he's got a great sense of humor. I love his acting and I think he is just an all around funny guy.

[@poppy22ish]

Haha is brilliant to see someone be equally cheeky to Jonathan

[@katieF180]

God I love british humor. Martin is absolutely brilliant.

[@antonlaaksonen6877]

I can't even, he's so funny I love him so much

[@WeCaredALot]

LOL at Martin's facial expression from 5:20 - 5:24

[@Zoe-co1ph]

Sarcasm at its greatest

[@nathaliemelissa96]

Now I want a live-action adaption of Bob the Builder with Martin Freeman!!! xD

[@KillerQueenKim]

I'm laughing so hard right now.

[@mariebdo2703]

You know what I'd like to see you in? A f***** box! Hilarious Martin :)

[@annapunkchan]

Mr. Freeman is very very snarky at times so I think, aside from the politics of the show, they're feeding off of each other's personalities. I actually love watching Freeman interviews because of his sense of humor :)

[@Saph3939]

I don't think I have ever laughed so much in the entire span of my existence!! Martin Freeman is always in the best interviews!!! Oh and Martin needs to start wearing a top hat and monocle!!

[@RedirectMyDay]

I remember when this was on telly. Fucking 8 years ago. I REMEMBER.

[@tenshique]

Ladies and gentlemen. May I present you, Martin Freeman. The queen of sass

[@StephAteYourEars]

It's hilarious, I've just watched loads of interviews with Benedict and been blown away by his polite manners and now I stumble upon Martin being so... sassy. I've only just jumped on the Sherlock bandwagon a few months ago, and I know everybody probably feels like this, but both Martin and Benedict are such lovely people, seem utterly fantastic people to hang out with (I'm just imagining Ben muttering "don't be rude" occasionally when Martin's being sarcastic, they seem great fun).

[@rcharron515]

HE'S SOOOOOOOO CUTE !!!!!!!!!

[@MsCrane13]

Fourteen minutes of Martin Freeman and the world is all right.

[@aprilthrusday]

I love the cattiness of those two. they're so sassy.

[@MsPotatobag]

I LOVE HIM

[@KatMEW93Productions]

I love his sass. He's so brilliant! Clearly a man who doesn't take shit from anyone xxx

[@hudsonments2280]

He's so sassy it's amazing!!

[@Fix___on]

OH MY GOD I LOVE HIM SO MUCH

[@heather23renae]

Since I'm from the US I was familiar with him and had seen several of his movies but had never seen any interviews. So even though I've loved him for years, I never knew how absolutely hilarious and charming he is until this moment. DEAD.

[@pennandteller7]

God I love martin

[@Spirassassininja]

I love Martin's dry humor, I really do, but you can tell that just underneath the surface, every insult is being tallied on the list titled, "How Many Times I Will Cut You."

[@jomoody798]

and years later, Benedict is imitating Mr Ross

[@geekgroupie42]

i didn't realise he was Arthur Dent! i'm watching that again!

[@Intriguue]

Bob the builder... i think i just died laughing

[@zzginigzz]

you dont have to tell us.... oh dont i!? lmao

[@livb6945]

Savage Freeman ❤️

[@emilyxlife]

"You look a bit like someone and it confuses me sometimes." "Okay, who do I look like?" "Bob the builder." :D

[@blissbite]

Holy shizz, I saw Hitchhiker's Guide years ago, and I never knew that was Martin Freeman! If only I could go back in time...

[@x10Rose]

Martin has like, the sassiest, bitchiest attitude and it's ADORABLE! Love him!!!

[@chokoladni]

martin freeman is absolutely adorable!

[@ooerme]

yes, box means coffin in that sense.

[@drumtracksdirect]

We still used tape back in the olden days of 2005!

It's the glare Martin gives him afterwards that makes it so much funnier. Cus Martin's like 'oh that's it, giggle, but you know I'm not joking'

[@SmoshRhianna]

Jonathan: You know what I'd love to see you in? A top hat. Martin: You know what I'd love to see you in? A f*cking box. xD

[@noukinav018]

LOL He's sassy,smart,cocky and witty XD Very talented actor indeed. Oh, I can't believe Ross made a Bob the Builder reference!

[@vletterstomyself3253]

Allright, thank you for clearing up. I know sometimes the British sense of humour goes right over my head, so I just had to ask ;) Also, that was an incredibly nice answer for someone being wrong in the KZbin comments section. Not something you see everyday! thanks =)

[@Jto11Ms]

Martin Freeman's sarcasm is amazing.

[@EterPuralis]

I loved him in his hitchhiker outfit! :D

[@SatchaKastnit]

The last three minutes of the video is pretty much just insults. It's highly amusing.

[@ValkyrieDaisy95]

LOL love 1:09 - Ricky Gervais mode xD Martin is sooooo sassy on this. Weirdly he does look like Bob the Builder. Or as Gareth Keenan said on The Office, he looks like a Fisher-Price Man xDD! Still a gorgeous guy though. He's got such an impish look to him, and quite an impish personality. An amazing guy.

[@Theakakage]

1:32 he is a legend

[@anastasiaminakova9360]

I`ve already liked this video, but i want to do it once more. Very cool))

[@specialpatrolgroup92]

He's so talented to play dual roles...

[@Kathrynharrop90]

Martin knows how to give it right back :)

[@bellalee27]

oh my god, HE DOES

[@MakenzieMergard]

Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart for being the only person in the UK who taped it :D

[@JoeKaye959]

I love Martin

[@smileyface14982]

Dear god, his sass

[@LumostheHope]

I am laughing and cringing at the same time 😂

[@honeyminty]

OH! Thank you so much. :)

[@SuperBabybug]

This was PHENOMENAL!!

[@kangaroo9816]

I don't really follow celebrities or care about them beyond their roles/songs/etc., but damn, I *adore* Freeman's interviews. I think he should try his hand at stand-up comedy, he'd be brilliant.

[@astro_penguin_]

same

[@thequeenofrock902]

THIS IS THE GREATEST!

[@kbea121]

Sass levels are through the roof!

[@bladervinay]

Martin, MY HERO! Lol

[@BlackLasher]

Do they really just flat out hate each other?

[@szinga]

oh my god, that was delightful.

[@annasolf1207]

Awwwww he's sooo cute Martin is also a wounderful actor

[@jeh0790118]

OH GOD HE DOES LOOK LIKE BOB THR BUILDER!!!!!

[@Oakshield2]

This is golden, very funny stuff.

[@MakenzieMergard]

Thank you, Tumblr, for sending me here

[@annabelcantor22]

He is surprisingly fashionable. like... whoa.

[@KatNoggin]

Lol! He RULED him. It's so nice to see someone best Ross.

[@coffeenurse]

That was marvellous xD

[@XuanlinTham]

oh goddd martin i love you you sassy cupcake mmmmf

[@PaulhusBrittany]

I gotta admit that Martin Freeman is the funniest Comedic actor i've come across.

[@TheSAJOWI]

Him and Jonathan Ross play off of each other really well.

[@artrealla]

Martin's brilliant. Absolutly brilliant. X3

[@yaoichick]

Martin Freeman has to be like the most perfect man in the universe. This video actually makes me very sad because now I want to watch Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, but I can't find my dvd.

[@imakomori9469]

Omg MARTIN I love you

[@marlajane41]

the last half had me in stitches. they really played off each other well! Most of the time, people just laugh awkwardly cuz they can't think of anything clever to say back to Martin. That was just great though!

[@TheMintyMelon]

Thanks for your reply..!. I'm going to check out his other shows as your interesting comment has whet my appetite. It's a sad fact, that as a member of the viewing public I'm FASCINATED by these displays of NASTINESS. Even tho I feel for Freeman here....It's the inner Jackal in me no doubt .. Cheers !
