🎹🪗Fry & Laurie’s Funny Piano Masterclass😂🤣

[@replevideo6096]

I think you missed the joke about "play it like you made love last night". Then Hugh plays very fast and ends prematurely. To me that was the funniest joke in the sketch.

[@roughyed58]

You missed Harry and Paul in the backing band.

[@jonathancole833]

And Charlie Higson I believe.

[@davidfenn4444]

Sexual innuendo is part of British humour. Anything to do with bodily parts make us laugh. Kenneth Williams videos are worth a try, he's very funny.

[@jamesscottvideos]

Who noticed Harry and Paul playing the rock n roll?

[@jonathancole833]

I did.

[@dannydorko7075]

You should watch Hugh's song 'Mystery'

[@MarkMcLT]

Definitely. Also I'm in Love with Steffi Graf.

Hiya. It's great that you pronounce the t in Britain now👍🤗

Sounded like Bonzo Dog Doo-dah band.

I used to love Saturday night live when I was about 12. Not much on KZbin though. Stephen Fry did a brilliant sketch with Moatloaf. Here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHnIfJxqnaxpmNE

[@pjmoseley243]

I could never take to Steven Fry.

[@andrewjones575]

His work varies a lot - sometimes he's funny & entertaining, other times he's not at all.

[@simonsaunders8147]

I can recognise the British terms for the musical things mentioned but I hadn't got a clue about the American words for what I knew. I do wonder how many modern pop singers can actually hold a higher pitched breve well. I watched some Montserrat Caballé footage earlier and she could hold a note for what seemed like forever. I guess that's what a great soprano could do.

[@andrewjones575]

What's Fry & Laurie's best sketch?

[@MarkMcLT]

My favorite is 'On Language'

[@gary.h.turner]

Fun fact: there are 128 hemidemisemiquavers to the breve! 🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵

[@katedidcock8849]

I don't remember that show but I suspect that I was down The Nags Head or on a pub crawl back in those days 🤣 The yuppie years ?

[@davidbowen60]

Aren’t you doing videos on Fridays only pod cast ?

Who was standing with Harry & Paul?

are you fans of Mary hopkins yet? lol just 2min 30 seconds. Goodbye song title.

Saturday Live was a live comedy and music show, I’ve never seen SNL but I think that’s more sketch based? Saturday live was more stand up comedy.

[@andrewjones575]

Yes, they're not related - they simply have similar names.

[@jonathancole833]

I think that Saturday Live was touted as the UK's answer to SNL.

[@juliepeters3716]

Saturday Live was a UK version of USA's Saturday night live. It appealed to young adults and teens, student types. I was a young teen at the time and I used to watch, I really enjoyed it. Couldn't watch it now though. I've grown out of sexual innuendo!

[@CoffeeConnected]

I suppose sexual innuendo at the time in the UK was edgy. Now it's been so overdone over the years the effect isn't the same.

[@jonathancole833]

The compere was Ben Elton, probably the foremost 'woke' comedian of his time.

[@simonsaunders8147]

Didn't like him as a stand-up comedian but he does have some brilliant writing credits to his name. I've not heard of him described as 'woke' probably because that word wasn't around back then. I just thought he was an almost offensive radical left-wing comedian. Keep politics out of comedy and you can then appeal to everyone.

[@jonathancole833]

@@simonsaunders8147 I think he was 'woke' by the standards of the time.

[@katiek6393]

If you don't like/get this humor, not sure why you keep reacting to it? I mean it's fine, to each their own. But by the title I would think maybe you enjoy it. Then I look in the corner while I'm laughing and see your blank/grimacing faces. I mean its my own fault too for clicking on this after watching another one of your reactions to Fry/Laurie. Maybe it just brings back me trying to show this to some family (we're Americans) and getting the same kind of befuddled reaction.

[@paulmuaddib3470]

It was just not that funny

[@martinappleby764]

Not there best.
