Hugh Laurie at the 2006 Emmys

Hugh Laurie's mock-french translation at the 2006 emmys.

[@fredule49]

As a real French who studied English at college I have to say that this translation is amazing even a French would translate this as well as Hugh Laurie ! And his accent is definitely breathtaking!!!

[@mrbombastic8097]

Seriously

[@UnshavenStatue]

PRESque IMMMMMpossible

[@sambrinkley9120]

Haha "Poof! Cinq."

[@candice_ecidnac]

I love how he says, "Yes, Dame" (as in Dame Helen Mirren) rather than any other title or endearment (ma'am, et al). It was respectful and hilarious, especially after her admonishment to "read it properly this time". I adore Hugh Laurie.

[@ToRaTaE]

HUGHLAURIOUS!

[@RobinHood3000]

You can even tell after the "Poof! Cinque" that she's having a hard time keeping a straight face. Great awards intro, better than most by far.

[@denise3511]

Hugh Laurie is comedic genius and I love him in this clip but it’s Helen Mirren’s facial expressions that kill me. This was great

[@korkiwi]

Even if he wasn't truly speaking french, I would have believed every word coming from him. He is the master at masking his real voice with other accents.

[@katherynemero4118]

Holy cow. I came because it was Hugh Laurie presenting an award. I didn't expect to see the outstanding Andre Braugher win. It's the greatest bonus!!!

[@happeningfish77]

I keep giggling that he says "Monsieur Laurie et moi-meme..."

[@nigelnyoni8265]

I only realised why that's funny when I read your comment

[@gt007CR]

Dr. House gave the award to his future psychiatrist. Nice! :D

[@silentxinsanityy]

He is my favorite actor for a reason... this being one of the many. Hugh Laurie

[@honey87west]

This is hilarious and deserved bigger laughs than the audience gave.

[@joanie3452]

Jealous Americans.

[@helendqueen]

i've watched this a number of times. can't get enough

[@NemutaiKun]

Laurie has so much talent. Excellent video!

[@charmedadri]

XD I love Hugh Laurie. That was actually hilarious. I LOOOOVE his show House. XD AND I think he's gorgeous. GO HUGH!

[@IceyLonePhoenix]

Accept for "Pouf! Cinq" it was all quite accurate :) I love how he speaks french too ;)

[@jenns555]

they're both amazing.

[@edgefire125]

Oh my God, I love them both so much!

[@Nonalhomophobie]

Hugh Laurie is a sort of God. He's brilliant as an actor, as a doctor and as a francophon British person.

[@ehriikah]

This just made Hugh Laurie THAT much more amazing :D

[@greendaymeg]

[@estel74]

[@BloodyMinerva]

[@agnescosta]

i love hugh laurie! the guy can do anything! he's just brilliant!

[@thriller]

I agree with you. I love his comic delivery, I seen all his speeches and all the shows his presented or gotten awarded, and his comedic timing is fabulous. So natural which is why is funny and he does not need to swear a million times... Like some other comics out there.

[@darkcrescent15]

oh, I love House, he is just so talented!!!!!

[@CrystalZelda]

Il est parfait!! Superbe!

[@Drydeneps]

Love it!

[@becknorth]

[@Datamazone]

this is awsome !!!

[@Noutchka]

j'adore son accent, c'est vraiment trop mignon. Ce mec est génial.

[@queencies]

he's just soooo funny !!

[@siouxsi808]

@Orinturify : Do you speak French? Because it's really funny as he didn't know the french word for winnowing he just said it but with a French accent. And then he translated a whole phrase ("literally hundreds... to meager list of just five") into just "poof, cinq". Otherwise, his French is superb. I simply adore Hugh Laurie!

[@billyspdx]

it's quite astonished, his french is nearly perfect !

[@sketchmavrick]

hes definitly a diffrent breed of actor

[@y2xg]

don't know if anyone mentioned this, but it's definitely the golden globes. I love Hugh!

[@ZIEX21]

Enoorme, il gère trop!!!

[@MariannaKopsida]

[@jehabib]

[@PerMortensen]

"Puff, cinq." Genious!

[@nova_ripley]

lol these two are very funny together :D

[@flicka16]

what a great french accent, i'm impressed actually!!!!!!!

[@kinneas]

The chunnel is the nickname for the Channel Tunnel that connects England and France.

[@cherriblizz]

OMG I love Hugh! So hot speaking french.

[@babarox1998]

As his American accent, his french accent is very, very good....with good pronounciation at the right moment. French is not an easy language for anglo-saxons...

[@_Hugues_]

La vache ! Hugh Laurie parle français ? J'ai été étonné sur le coup mais aussi très content de voir ça. Dans le fond, maintenant, ça ne m'étonne plus vraiment car il est britannique, et les britanniques (même si le Royaume-Uni et la France se sont souvent querellé) parlent plus souvent français que les américains, GRACE à la Manche. BRAVO Hugh Laurie !!! T'es top et Dr House est trop bien ! Continue comme ça !

[@Dayna1401]

LMAO hes so freakin funny!!

[@smiffy1071]

When it was being constructed, the Chanel tunnel was nicknamed the Chunnel.

[@AiHina4ever]

I loved how Helen was speaking French after this at this year's awards XD

[@__shiimy]

He's very well at french !! Believe me I'm french and it was perfect ! 1 word maybe 2 were not very good but it was so great ^^!!

[@sjoes]

THE Dame!

[@DianeMac123]

LOL, Hugh Laurie, Dr. House.....I LOVE that guy !!!!

[@Simonebr]

There's an episode of House that Hugh has to say some words in br portuguese. It was so cool, I don't know why do we get so exited when these things happen haha

[@tiaccisaw]

He's good! The "r" is too rough, but it makes it even funnier.

[@quiet1234]

[@eleonorewalter7651]

Hot damn!
