I'm glad I'm not the only one who needed this comment to get it.

[@huuamai8151]

Oh, now I get it hahaha

[@Mullahgrrl]

Mostly under cover work, is it?

[@chibichocofairy]

Thank you so much.

[@martm216]

Excellent!

[@ashari3506]

You see, a long lie-down is key. As far down as possible, in fact. One must lie low for however long it takes for the enemy to drop his guard.

[@Mae_is_gae]

Organising your schedule when you have severe depression

[@asagoldsmith3328]

Wow. Way to hit me where it hurts.

[@louthinator]

or if you have narcolepsy

[@davidwuhrer6704]

The importance of sleep can't be overstated.

[@phs125]

Literally can't be overstated

[@mossy642]

This is actually an excellent strategy, be so consistently mad and relaxed that the enemy doesn’t suspect a thing.

[@jamiemcmillan6742]

'It was like you to say that Richard, very like you. In fact, I could have sworn it was you for a minute.' XD

[@travisbaskerfield]

I'll watch this after I take a nap.

[@FJB_USA_1ST]

travisbaskerfield Or you can take a nap after you watch this. You know what, I'm gonna leave that kind of detail up to you.

[@TobeyFairre7861]

@@FJB_USA_1ST I took a nap before I replied to this comment, my boss told me to do so.

[@phs125]

Just in time for your after-nap nap

[@cityzens634]

I’m going to take a nap before during and after 💤

[@poppanaattori89]

Is your nap over yet? Did you have a good sleep?

[@neireannach]

Brings a new meaning to “a sleeper agent.”

[@ahobbit1273]

Holy shit, you're right. That's likely the joke they were working off of.

[@SeanSMST]

Sounds exactly like something they'd play off of

[@TolgaYalniz]

That's funny. Kudos to the one making it in the comments years ago

[@katherine7252]

You can never be over-slept or over-considerate. - Stephen Fry, I imagine, at some point during the writing of this sketch.

[@CristiNeagu]

Where can i find a boss like this?

[@danhanley5618]

i actually for work for some one like this 1hr hard work and 7hrs to myself with a half hour lunch break the catch is a 5hr round trip commute each day on public transport I can handle that

[@travisbaskerfield]

I work for a Chinese firm. I get a 15 minute break every quarter of an hour.

[@ausomeaspie]

Cristi Neagu I know right!

[@daggern15]

British government. they'll see you right

[@DarthRushy]

Stephen Fry for Boss of the Year, anyone?

[@MrEAus]

Might be a good idea, but until we're sure, we'd best sleep on it

[@TheJamesBernie]

The agent is a 'sleeper' geddit?

[@lawrencecalablaster568]

TheJamesBernie OHHHHHHHHH I didn't ever get that until right now.

[@grendelum]

Who works “under cover”...

[@dazzlingdeb8427]

TheJamesBernie LOL! Brilliant! I didn't catch that until you said it.

[@Jegria]

When he said "west-Berlin" and not just west in Berlin it suddenly hit me that Germany was still divided at the time of the filming of this scene... Puts things in perspective i think.

[@MartinHiggins1972]

Makes ya think.

[@infernalchaos1066]

Those of us who grew up with two Berlins have to remember that it's just one now lol. But this is a great show! I think I've seen most of the episodes. Not sure.

[@sebastienh1100]

Your intelligence and culture startles me

[@Jegria]

@@sebastienh1100 Thanks

[@RFC-3514]

Who would ever say "west in Berlin"? I mean, people say "South London" all the time, and the city isn't exactly divided. Also, all of Berlin (including West Berlin) was in East Germany; the division of the city was geographically (though not politically, of course) independent of the division of the country.

[@Lisallamaa]

I don't think there's anything more lovely and pink and moist and fluffy and shiny and special than Stephen Fry

[@Feuerspray31]

That's not what came to mind when I read those adjectives.

[@SeanSMST]

Those are some very unique adjectives to describe Stephen Fry.

[@TheOverexplainer]

Listen I know you posted this like almost 9 years ago. but what does this mean?

lol i love stephen's tie!! "no time for shelves where you're going!" brilliant :)

[@phemyda94]

I wish my professors were this considerate.

[@pauljohnson2982]

This is the kind of laid back boss I've been looking for..

[@JackT13]

‘Good, because you mustn’t!’ This made me burst out laughing

[@JonSmith-cx7gr]

I find this weirdly relaxing. Must search for more sleep encouragement videos. Pretty niche though.

[@zibberebbiz]

check out the Matt Berry relaxation podcast on KZbin

[@cityzens634]

@Jesse Burns I’m watching this tucked up in bed 😊 goodnight 💤

[@probablynotmyname8521]

The most clashing tie and shirt combination the world has ever seen.

[@Jordan781]

"It's way past my bedtime." Oh my gosh, how cute are you?

[@merdufer]

de-brief XD can't believe i didn't catch that before

[@robertmelia3780]

Click thumbs up before even a word is spoken with these two gentlemen. 💜

[@MatiProbably]

4 minutes 19 second of laughing. I think I deserve a nap.

[@MrShepperson]

It this series two of 'The Night Manager' ????

[@MrJohanGuzman]

This is the prequel

[@greenfirecats303]

Haha good one

[@micahnewman]

Stephen's tie!

[@peter_holmes7033]

Micah Newman I want it

[@robertusaugustus2003]

Micah Newman looks like a beach ball

[@neptunestardust]

It’s gorgeous

[@NausicaaLeGuin]

I love Stephen's tie... so random.

[@JMoruzzi]

Watching this sketch for the first time ever - and I'm in bed! Nighty night

[@Aquascape_Dreaming]

Find the one where Hugh plays as an interviewer who spends the night in some notable public figure's bed after interviewing them. It's hilarious. I think his character is called Steven Mosstin or something.

[@BritishComedyUK69]

This is Art!

[@bernicerogers2383]

Mission to Rest Berlin.

[@imogencarney3421]

hahaha hes a "sleeper agent"

[@wx7fm]

OH MY GOODNESS!

[@holeymcsockpuppet]

The tie.

[@rayaqin]

the shelf line is phenomenal

[@huuamai8151]

The hell is this? Live-action procrastination?

[@smilerat8070]

Sleeper agents at work...

[@StamfordBridge]

Chris Fuentes Well, it’s

[@Quintusblake]

What I wouldn’t do for a boss like that

[@darkridr25]

lol This reminds me of the Golgofrincham from The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy who liked to take baths all the time, only with sleep in its place. XD

[@Plons0Nard]

It was just the captain ... 9 years is a long time, isn't t it. One is never alone with a rubber duck 🦆 Cheers 👍🏻🤝🏻🇳🇱

[@TYNEPUNK]

this is bloody genius...

[@tjfSIM]

Heh he Stephen's everyone's ideal boss here :)

[@wheedler]

This is a great title.

[@mayoite160]

now this is my *ideal boss*

[@wisteela]

I love Stephen's jacket.

[@harryparks8395]

If there's something worth doing it's worth doing tomorrow.

[@guharup]

are there any openings in the British secret service? I like the jd

[@jedvanilla0111]

Aawww, now I want debriefing.

[@dmitrykhlan]

Brilliant humor

[@chatsidefires]

He totally gets Hugh with that last line.

[@solcporter]

That job sounds good

[@Lucifronz]

One well-rested job.

[@omarma7815]

the perfect boss for an architecture student

[@noiselesspatient]

It was archaeology and anthropology, wasn't it? 🤣

[@junbh2]

The perfect boss for anyone!

[@saltech3444]

Jim Prideaux with very severe sleep apnoea.

[@oyagain]

and that tie! ^^

[@suddencucumber5994]

as a highschooler, i cannot relate to this.

[@MrBuch169169]

Caius Cossades in Balmora vibes. "Before you meet the informant you'll be wanting to look around town, buy some armor, get the hang of enchantments and so on, maybe join a guild. You can sleep in my bed if you need to of course! Here's five hundred drakes..."

[@albertmccune2734]

Right, that video's sorted! Now I'll just go and have a bit of a lie down!

[@ninezthemonster]

Hugh in that outfit looks like House lol.. HUGH LAURIE IS HOT!!

[@Vasilyevich05]

This is what kind of boss I want

[@Feuerspray31]

Dude, what a great job this would be! All expense paid sleep, naps, and lunch.

[@TheCheweeRevolutions]

Fancy a rest? I don't know why that's so funny

[@tineblondine]

Nice tie, Stephen!

[@BethanyLowe8773]

Tony Murchison love your name :-)

[@tachikomakusanagi3744]

I'm exhausted after watching that.

[@SwiftsNamesake]

I'd love to have him as my boss!

[@axaganyu]

I am SO qualified for this secret service

[@FiscaalAftrekbaar]

Meanwhile Universities are like: well there are 24 hours in a day, aren't there?

[@frankshailes3205]

Is that an exam question?

[@sploofmcsterra4786]

This is my life...

[@walterzamalis4846]

This seems like a game show, a chat show, and a sketch about a headmaster or an escort agency all at once.

[@MegaSpideyman]

Escort agency?

[@runningforest2421]

*Is it small hearts of different colors on his tie?🧐*

[@Aquascape_Dreaming]

A 20 minute drive that requires a stop over for a nap 😂😂. British secret service operatives sure fatigue very easily 😂

[@frankshailes3205]

A lot can happen in 20 minutes! Episodes of Secret Agent (Danger Man) used to be over in 30!

[@martm216]

Feel I need to get my head down after that little lot.

[@cityzens634]

This should be played at 0.75 speed

[@rebeccabrewer2221]

So handsome 😘

[@marlenedietrich2468]

this is how plan my schedules

[@reneeyun]

Hugh Laurie was about to laugh @3:26 yeah?.. haha. HUGH LAURIE, AWESOME.. AWESOME! :)

[@Kirisutekarl]

Prague... Was 4 years ago...

[@aagg6124]

this was shown in governments, not as a sketch, but an informative movie

[@thepoofication]

My ears exploaded in the start...

[@tineblondine]

Do you mean the Swiss play from ABoFaL? I go along with you so far as Stephen may have a little clue what he is saying (he's the one who learnt the whole old languages canon at school). But I still think when it comes to pronunciation, Hugh can pronounce the sounds I mentioned above better and in the Swiss play, although Hugh messed up on the verb riechen, his sentence structure was by far harder than Stephen's.

[@steveelliott77]

This life of cloak and dagger is about my speed.

[@EmmaRiddle543]

I’m watching this at 4am having to be up at 7am…….should I be sleeping?

[@user-bv9yt1sp9w]

What a dream job.

[@tineblondine]

That guy's really got a knack for languages! I know Stephen's got German ancestry, but it's Hugh who's perfect at pronunciation. His "Ernst Schlesser" couldn't be any better: great r-sound, sharp s, and l not pronounced from the throat. And he didn't say Ernst like a Brit would pronounce the Er- in Ernest.

[@FrankieParadiso4evah]

Stephen Fry look exactly like his Jewish Austro-Hungarian grandfather, just watch "Who Do You Think You Are?"...

[@NausicaaLeGuin]

and apparently I've already made that comment... oh well!

[@samvidas9599]

Sounds like a kindly-phrased retirement, lol...

[@volodyanarchist]

I'm sorry, i was a bit tired, and fell asleep during this video. Did i miss anything important, or should i just add it to my 'Watch later' list and move on. I really need to relax a little.

[@chucks1255]

Maybe I have a dirty mind but sometimes it sounded like Fry had a different agenda like this wolfgang guy is gonna take advantage on laurie

[@rmisionero]

I want to work for that employer.

[@yellowjackboots2624]

The music at the start is from a horror movie... is it Carpenter or Argento?!

[@cmasseylynch]

Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie

[@pineapplepenumbra]

So this is what happens in the far future, when sloths evolve to take over the world, and have spies?

[@TYNEPUNK]

@tjf4375 yeh i was just gonna say how great it is to find a boss like this :)

[@darren.mcauliffe]

How do I get this job?

[@RalphBrooker-gn9iv]

As a former soldier I dreamt of orders of this kind. And Wolfgang actually sold Bratwursts.

[@Artimidorus]

Watching this actually made me feel tired...

[@abesapien9930]

I don't get this sketch. Can someone enlighten me as to what is going on?

His nose looks less crooked as he ages, for some reason it's the only thing I can focus on right now.

Schedule for the spies suffering from ME

[@wj2429]

This sounds like the job for me.

[@nathangamble125]

It's 1:20. I need to go to bed.

[@spudskie3907]

British secret agents sure seem to require a lot of sleep!

[@bfkc111]

"Wolfgang" sounds kind of menacing and exotic in English. Although really it is kind of a super-cheesy name. Just for info.

[@B33t_R007]

Wolvewalk :-D

[@vibraphonics]

Is this a parody of something?

[@notdaveschannel9843]

+Tim James Maybe the perception that MI6 are amateurish posh boys. Hope it's not true!

[@EvevanKaat]

Sleeper agents?
