Fry & Laurie - Reunited - Part 2/5

[@newtonwhatevs]

Friendships like this really make life worth living.

[@vicentefernandez9084]

As always, laughter is everything. Making Fry laugh isn't an easy feat, yet every three words, Laurie has him in tears. That's foundation for a life-long friendship.

[@david-p8e6o]

their always be Jeeves and Wooster to me such legends

[@Hilly092]

The stories of how they met, seems like they planned the confusion and stereotypes haha I love it

[@groutguy]

I love how fabulously dressed emma thompson is in this.

[@kindnessfirst9670]

I can't tell if she is dressed that way as a joke or not but she looks fantastic.

[@AnEnemy100]

Definitely taking the piss.

[@stevetobin7495]

@@kindnessfirst9670 irony no doubt.. beautiful woman though

[@NoudlePipW]

... she was taking the piss. The overly glamorous, pompous starlet haha

[@leonie563]

She's hamming it up, theatre stylee. But I kept grinning because I've seen her in her Brideshead Revisited role!

[@ToonBadger1]

Wish they'd just let them speak for 90 mins

[@Orcao]

You mean you don't like the generic narrator show, ft. the occasional bit of Fry and Laurie?

[@livb6945]

Amen

[@swenjin]

I love how Stephen's just constantly cracking up in this. It is almost like a fan talking with his favourite comedian. You can tell he really, REALLY enjoys Hugh's company.

[@LeBubblesSan]

I love that Hugh assumes the first thing in Stephen's autobiography is "How I met Hugh Laurie". Like nothing of note happened before that.

[@Bcsmith333]

It's so nice to watch Stephen Fry crack up and giggle so much!

[@13agibson]

"Britain- just what the bloody hell went wrong?" Priceless.

[@uwu-pe2nt]

past 50 and still giggling over the word "penetration"... you can tell these two have been best friends forever!

[@katrinschonherr8402]

Why should this be proof of a great friendship? Becuse they giggle together or because they both giggle about the same word(which is having a sexual context, incidentally?) I think tis kind of "analysis" ìs too simple .

[@Asparaesque]

Laughing at dumb things is easier with someone you have rapport with

[@wangchcarol]

these two together are like little kids. that's real friendship.

[@inamerica55585]

Fry and Laurie should actually teach a class on British History called Britain: Just what the bloody hell went wrong?

[@sa8vsaxman]

This comment has never been more true than it is in 2020

[@paulhank7967]

Tony blair. Followed shortly by the extreme minorities and PC.

[@sophiajetton1234]

I think that’s American history 😂💀 (I’m American)

[@strideygaming]

Greed followed by many times a double of helping of Greed

[@Khazandar]

@@sophiajetton1234 That's the point, that's *exactly* what went wrong in British history.

[@amirulhakim268]

7:53 the slap, how happy Hugh is with Stephen, his most dearest friend, at ease, comfortable, cracking at every word, butterfly in our stomach this is.

[@komshobu2]

3:40 That look,that stop/pause.. That's the look of a man remembering good old days with happiness and nostalgia. That second right there say it all, what he thinks about Fry and everything they've been together. Favourite moment from the whole documentary

[@campuscryptid3020]

I came for a spot of Fry and Laurie, but the sudden revelation of Tony Slattery was a welcomed surprise; I miss him, he should do more shows but I hope he’s doing better!

[@KatiePirkle]

A beautifully prepared conversation pit.

[@momo2cool4skool]

Hugh and Fry are simply legends.

[@janesmith9024]

They are so wonderful. Memory is interesting. I scanned my diaries from 1971 recently and read them (I went to university when these 2 did by the way). Some things I just had remembered differntly and the diary set me straight. Strange.

[@FutureAbe]

I am quite sure Stephen isnt just making up his story of how he met Hugh, but rather confusing it with a different encounter with him later on (or something). Stil very funny, considering he is known for his splendid memory :)

[@pingdings]

How lucky it is to have friends like Fry & Laurie. I envy them 😅

[@jtb1990419]

11:19 you can almost see the wheels in Hugh's brain start turning after Stephen mentioned market penetration.

[@agentadvocate]

Animations are totally secondary to their amazing voices behind it. This upload is a godsend & I hope it never gets removed. It's brought so much joy to my life finding this! Cheers!

[@CylindricalWhistle]

After watching A Bit of Fry and Laurie, and then this, I think Hugh Laurie's voice got deeper as he got older.

[@umar6278]

you should hear him in Blackadder

[@junbh2]

@@umar6278 Even when he's not doing anything as dramatic as putting on a fake accent, he changes his voice and pitch and mannerisms a lot for different characters.

[@deborahseay5123]

I just absolutely LOVE THEM ! ! ❤❤

[@maureenmckenna5220]

This happens sometimes, rarely, in life. You get two or more gifted comedians, who meet up, serendipitously, but who seem to have a comedic connection that is hilarious and obvious to the audience, and innate to them alone. This is Fry and Laurie.

[@kellynorman1757]

Not until you've made foreign secretary should you smoke a pipe. lol

[@pinoyidol2006]

Bromance of legendary proportions.

[@andyhaochizhang]

Hugh Laurie in most interviews reminds me of his psychic spoon bender character in F&L, this is the only interview in which he looks truly relaxed.

[@OrenVenezian]

What a great program with a great sound track.

[@sbenc]

Emma was and is so beautiful

[@kevinjamesparr552]

Emma is a great actress and with dignity a laugh

[@falcychead8198]

That first picture they showed of her, I know that I would have been besotted with her if I had met her. Luckily I never did. My life would have been ruined.

[@若月サクラ]

[@stevetobin7495]

Oh god yes

[@silverysnowfox]

I loved Tony Slattery in Whose Line Is it Anyway (UK). He was such a brilliant person. ;;

[@MOSMASTERING]

He disappeared from TV and I'm sure no doubt lost a lot of support from friends due to his alcohol and cocaine problems, but I'm glad he sorted all that out. He easily have a comeback, I'm sure he's still got the wit for it.

[@Nejidabest]

"we didn't penetrate, Stephen" - and Mr. Fry cracks up - love how these two could make a gay joke sound witty. lol

[@chrislittle1986]

Laurie is just a comedic genius!

[@RorryPondicus]

I admire them so much.

[@duboutdesfrettes9743]

And it's already been almost 10 years already now

[@magicarp79]

Emma doesn't seem to age, like at all. She only changes hair color.

[@Kiwionwing]

Mature yum yum

[@minaxsocietas480]

She hit the wall in the 90's, the rest is plastic surgery.

[@kathyeubanks5524]

Good genes. Her mum is beautiful.

[@johntuffin3262]

[@Badkarma333]

Good God, Emma Thompson is FABULOUS.

[@angelacooper2661]

Yes, the Almighty would be impressed with Emma's thespian prowess!

[@markuss4133]

Wow, seeing tony slattery again. :) in general thank you so much for this upload. The joy these guys have given me...

[@angrycitizen7]

The camera man really really loves Hugh Laurie's bald spot.

[@stayforthepeelpronpls4774]

lena ann this made me laugh. Also hello from 8 years in the future

[@RalphBrooker-gn9iv]

I served in the army, 1978-1990. We had what the Royal Navy called Sod’s Operas. Whatever remote corner of the world we found ourselves in, to maintain morale troops were asked to cobble together acts for the Sod’s Opera. Some of the funniest comedy I have ever seen came from that tradition. I’m just talking about the deepest laughter from the most original sources. A lost tradition of raw genius. Christmas, South Georgia, 1982: Recce Platoon Royal Hampshire Regiment, HMS Hecate’d crew inc. the RM Naval Landing Party. I love the Footlights but I also remember the emergence of the Goons from the armed forces.

[@grom8cs]

Pretty sure I've read somewhere either in Stephen's auto biographies or an annecdote surrounding them that they constantly mix up how they first met as a sort of gag between the two of them. I've just remembered this while listening in the beginning. I wish I could remember where i'd read/heard it. Eitherway it's hilarious to see how it changes each time Stephen talks or writes about it xD

[@buggld]

Their stories differ so much that it's quite interesting.

[@KaeraNeko]

Up until now, I've loved them both, but I never knew they used to work together.

[@RHCPfan458]

I went from a David Mitchell appearance on QI, to a rant he did on The Big Fat Quiz of the Year, to That Mitchell and Webb Look, to A Bit of Fry and Laurie and back to this. How wonderful.

[@Mayna00]

Oh my DAYS! Stephen, Hugh and Tony! AND EMMA! God bless The Footlights Revue

[@Sophss-q6h]

11:19 gets idea 11:21 implements idea. I love his comedic timing XD

[@jtb1990419]

Yep! You can almost see the wheels turning!

[@awake1251]

as soon as Stephen said "penetration", I had a feeling Hugh would have a funny go with it

[@evaddungu2238]

Haha and he did

[@jpringle1979]

Well Stephen is gay isn't he? So.... I'm sure he'd enjoy it.

[@beakfordclakington1337]

'''he wore tweed... and smoked a pipe can you believe?'' BAAAAH

[@AmMartha]

i'm so happy that I've found this ! Ta 4 uploading!

[@Yuuram11]

Fry & Laurie is the old Mitchell & Webb

[@charlottelindsey5662]

Um yeah, at least

[@zoeredadams]

I only discovered That Mitchell and Webb Look recently: boy, am I glad I did. I have a load of Lit. essays to hand in, but they can wait for Sir Digby Chicken Caesar...

[@JesseRay89]

dun da da dun dun da da da dunna dunna dunna dunna duuun!

[@kurumtelefon7148]

I love the historical sketches of Mitchell and Webb.

[@CRYSTALBOY]

I remember watching this in 2010. It freaked the shit out of me.

[@BloodyBastian]

i noticed that too! he has such a lovely laugh.

[@leonie563]

Just would be a joy to have another series of Jeeves & Wooster series as older men. Picturing Jeeves as a Mr Chips at a boys school and Bertie looking like King Charles at Chatsworth! Married with dogs and kids at boarding and all kind of capers

[@Missteree87]

hugh laurie cant even help but be funny!

[@fearghasmor]

10:14 I love it when more successful programmes have used jokes from writers earlier less well known lines :D It's a nice reminder of humanity

[@jennie8908]

I would take that class in a flash! That would be amazing!

[@Nibbelpippel]

For them reunite may seem stupid and hilarious at the same time, but for me its pretty epic...

[@BelatedCommiseration]

Err God...I really just want to see the two of them hanging out and reminiscing about this stuff themselves rather than having crappy out takes, dodgy animation and some breathless awe inspired narration for what just simply amounts to two blokes babbling on to each other.

[@jkjkjkish]

i love stephen's laugh at 14:34

[@isbourne]

Clearly the people who have written this show find themselves quite humourous. This is like watching a bad cover band open for superstars and then continually insert their own material between snippets of classic rock.

[@tomlittle9103]

Yeah I can't help but shake the feeling this production just got bungled by incompetence. It's nice having all this extra footage and some more time with Fry and Laurie but there's just not enough discussion and entirely too much narration and the editors absolutely butchering any kind of flow to it. An all around awkward production

[@idc5309]

My god Emma Thompson is and was angelically beautiful

[@LisaSimpsonRules]

2010 has come up and gone. A weird thing has happened to both of them and the uk.

[@angeltears8370]

Thank you!

[@jaryd12345]

I don't know why but the comment "I think the verbs are at the back" cracked me up

[@MintyCanRead]

"Hang onto your hats! Plenty more chattering and chortling on its way!" It's like she knew my hat was so excited that it was about to fly right off my head.

[@vimaladhithan007]

"I think the verbs are in the back" 😆

[@SamNYC2000]

"Britain: what the hell went wrong?" was only off by 10-12 years.

[@thefinewino]

wow. all my memories of Tony Slattery are from his Whose Line days, he's so much older! of course he would be but holy crap.

[@debbietampasheher3682]

Ty for sharing!

[@DontTouchMyCroissant]

I love that people mention Mitchell and Webb in the same breath as Fry and Laurie. Wonder if they'll ever become as famous.

[@destiny035]

That boatride around 4:15 is the same place Tom Baker played the Doctor at, he was on such a boat too. That can be seen in the story the five doctors.and Shada :)

[@dharmaseed]

He got addicted to cocaine back in the nineties. He also spent next to a year in seclusion in a warehouse on the bank of the hames due to bipolar disorder. There is a link on here where Stephen and Tony talk about bipolar disorder and self-medication.

[@charlottelindsey5662]

Ok. What's your point?

[@johnking5174]

7:24 - Sadly Studio 8 at the BBC Television Centre where Fry and Laurie filmed their wonderful show, is no more. Studios 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 are all now bull dozed down and have been converted into luxury apartments. Studios 1, 2 and 3 however remain, a little nugget from the television centre which made the wonderful Fry and Laurie shows.

[@sarafrankestein9403]

This reminds me soo much of my mate... But we rarely get together anymore

[@ShabbaDabb]

Yo this was WAY better than part 1 I guess cause they're together

[@Mayna00]

Also, the whole conversation at 11:21 feels like they're gonna beak out saying DAMN DAMN AND DOUBLE DAMN!

[@stevetobin7495]

I was expecting a damn it john!!!

[@allyndeimos]

08:26 on to the commercials.... pffffft love these two.

[@trippyseedsindeedz]

thanks, forgot to record it

[@JallenMeodia]

Am I finally going to hear Fry sing? What a place to cut the video.

[@TonyRLK]

Thanks a lot! :)

[@vardellsfolly5200]

With that pipe, Stephen reminds me of good'ol Graham..

[@allamericandiner]

oohhhh i do wish rowan atkinson is also there - at least a small interview~

[@katguid2005]

I love his pants in the cellar tapes

[@luchilenium]

I find it interesting that Stephen has retained his childish view of the world, while Hugh, who was once fun-loving and bubbly has changed the most to become a cynical sarcastic old man. Not that I like him any less, it's just interesting how people change.

[@dontmakelemonade]

Wow, my uni life, what a load of crap in comparison.

[@hugojames85]

Don't beat yourself up, Ed: these people weren't at "university" in the sense that we understand it - they were at an ultra-super-powered leisure club for a miniscule minority of pre-selected and astonishingly privileged poshos.

They are priceless!!! Ottomans full of vapid excuses.....

in 2024 to be precise!

[@Areyourealythatdumb]

can't wait to see who becomes the next, fry and laurie - i feel it should be mitcheall and web but who knows.

[@SamHeaton264]

Unerringly accurate as well actually.

[@handsomebrick]

Since the show is about Stephen and Hugh, maybe they should have said Blackadder.

[@redwoods7370]

Both global treasures.

[@mario54671]

Whoaaa....Tony Slattery, looks so different from when he was on Whose Line. :P

[@DragonBallAxel]

Dear God, I can barely remember last week. The fuck are these people doing remembering decades ago ? Making me look bad. No easy feat. Remarkable.

[@Supremerob20]

10:18 Yes! a line later used in Blackadder ;-)

[@18yardsout96]

So does anyone else think when Tony Slattery says "I know all of them. They're all my children." at 4:47 that he's paraphrasing Goodbye Mr. Chips?

[@gamagenin]

I agree, as Stephen Fry is already in it. ;p

[@jcee6886]

'A whole Ottoman full of vapid excuses". Permission to use that when the opportunity arises.....

[@Echiya]

I pray that when I get to the afterlife the Creator will tell me I am a twin soul of Emma Thompson and now I can count Fry and Laurie, Alan Rickman and a host of other kick ass British lights for humanity as my good pals. just wow

[@handsomebrick]

So the Footlights is like a superior British version of the Harvard Lampoon, neat.
