I honestly don't know what is funnier, reading Wodehouse or watching these two geniuses bring the pages to life, in a manner that no one else could possibly even come close to. Either way I'm laughing out loud every few minutes. Woodhouse, especially as expressed through the mouths of Fry and Laurie, is an absolute genius of vocabulary. And every single supporting actor, every one of them, hits it out of the park. The casting director gets a tip of the hat.

I've always decided that the reason Uncle George was so interested in Rhoda was she reminded him of Maudie. Being her niece, there was likely some family and personality resemblances. And if they lived together they might've even had some of the same mannerisms, etc. So he was really just interested in Maudie all along, and missed her, and the way she made him feel when he was in love with her when he was young. It's very sweet when you think about it that way

Note to American speakers: When Bingo asks Freddie Widgeon if he wouldn't like to stand guard in Harold's room, Freddie says, "No fear." The English are very crafty with their language. "No fear" means "No way" or "Not likely." Bertie says this several times in the series.

We say "no fear" in America, too. -_-

"Observe, gentlemen, the distended saddle on this specimen." Brilliant. I love this episode; my favourite, I think. "You look positively animated, Jeeves!" "I'm sorry, Sir." Just wonderful. Thank you for posting this; after a day of egos and nonsense at work, it is welcome relief.

Lots of complimentary comments, but as far as I can see, none for P G Wodehouse, the absolute genius behind Jeeves and Wooster, and several others including Lord Emsworth.
@urmorph5 жыл бұрын
Even before I read your comment, I attempted to remedy this. I truly believe that Wodehouse was one of the supreme masters of the English language. Perhaps he is not as highly regarded in certain circles because too many of his characters are alive at the end of his stories. (He never even killed off the Empress of Blandings.)

As much as I love Jeeves in both book and Fry form, it's just now occurred to me that his thinly-veiled sarcasm would be enough these days to accuse him of being mildly passive aggressive.

At 18:47: Lord Ickenham is of course "Uncle Fred", one of Wodehouse's most sublime characters. (Frederick Cornwallis Twistleton, Earl of Ickenham, Pongo Twistleton's uncle.) I can't hear him referred to without smiling.
