Stephen Fry & Hugh Laurie - outtakes (bloopers) - HILARIOUS!

[@junbh2]

Videos like this make me impressed that Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie ever got anything done together. They can barely look at each other here without making each other laugh.

[@katebrice5050]

I know. 😂

[@gregoryschmidt1233]

1:09 The moment where you're thinking, "Someone has a line here", and then you realize it's you.

[@sarag1049]

I soo can relate to that. It's always a crack up

[@theidlewildblue]

i don't know what's funnier: james dreyfuss failing to keep it together and the other actors stop and stare at him corpsing in take 6, the d-d-d-d- nonsense or the fact that after they finally get through the d-d-d-d- bit, they all forget their lines!!

[@MomoTvT]

1:53 the silence IS golden! “Someone say something.” That was a great killer ending.

[@gerardornell4607]

Can you imagine laughing like this every day you go to work? What legends!

[@einezcrespo]

Someone say something. LOL

[@allim.5941]

Something!

[@Cuddles-rd8vg]

Stephen Fry, a legend in his lifetime! This really cracks me up every time I watch it. Its the d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d gentlemen bit that is pure comic genius and totally hilarious. Thank you so much for the upload.

[@kimberlyakin8908]

The saddest Part is he cant even do his best DDDDDDD becasue No One can Keep a straight face. He has to tone it down and that is a homage to his talent and a shame as well.

[@QuarterLifeCrises]

0:30 "America has given us nothing but tobacco, and potatoes, and that new high grade narcotic that you're so fond of." If I didn't know better I'd have thought that was a House reference lol 😂

[@SuzyS85]

"They say of the Acropolis, where the Parthenon is..."

[@tarawhittington5686]

Heading there next, cheers

[@likelyahobbit]

d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d gentlemen gentlemen I died XD

[@astoran1207]

***** That was a good one :D

[@RYN988]

The sheer brilliance of Stephen Fry is truly legendary!

[@looseSpark]

I would have laughed every time hearing Stephen Fry say "D d d d d d d d d d d d d gentlemen". Nicely improvised too. I found it amusing the way he shortened it the last time so they could get through it without cracking.

[@Amfran]

Hugh: "Ok. NOW I am ready" ...Take 9! " D-d-d-d-d-d-dgentlemen gentlemen please, now, hmmm? huh? ..Someone say something!!" ;) If it's not Laurie..it's Fry :') LOVE them!

[@frazzleface753]

Whenever I'm feeling down and out, I come here, and I invariably go away feeling much better. :D

[@Skeew1]

i love that even though it's sometimes other people who corpse, stephen still apologizes. It's like he's saying "sorry i was too funny"

[@TyCetto]

Fry is bloody brilliant! Long live Fry!

[@daswenzel]

It is so funny when you imagine that Hugh Laurie was only a local star in UK during this sketch. And a few years later he became one of the biggest TV Stars in the whole world. And he had no idea here.

[@catalinnicolau5389]

Dandy Candy Dr House may have given Hugh Laurie another status, however, please check IMDB to find more about his impressive career before 2004🙂 you might appreciate him even more

[@katebrice5050]

Exactly!!

[@slaphead6000]

He recently did the Melchett sheep-laugh - only for a SECOND - on Qi ...and it nearly stopped the show! Stephen is a comedy god - and a hell of a good chap. Apparently he has SEEN this upload. If he ever returns here - thankyou, sir, for YEARS of entertainment - from Friday/Saturday Live to the afore-mentioned Qi.

[@benodaboy]

I love watching them riff around the script.

[@samsignorelli]

Sometimes you have to wonder HOW comedians ever make it through a taping!

[@The55nomad]

Makes SNL look like comedy pre-school.

[@vardellsfolly5200]

Two fine fine actors. Beautiful people indeed.

[@Donna-cc1kt]

Amen. Such a gift and shared!

[@MrJingres]

There seems to be some confusion. Stephen says, "America has given us nothing but TOBACCO, potatos, and that new high-grade narcotic that your so fond of," and points at Hugh. The irony is of course that STEPHEN is the admitted user of COCAINE here. Maybe thats why Hugh looks at him and laughs.

[@A-small-amount-of-peas]

I'd doubt it I think was just corpsing ,sometimes the smallest thing sets you off

[@flecot]

Cocaine isn't a narcotic though. It's a stimulant. But I get the point, and so does Stephen.

[@MrJingres]

flecot Yes, I had written that tobacco wasn't a narcotic, too. Oops.

[@HerrMikael]

Jd Ingres Thanks, I was wondering about that and thought it was some English inside joke that foreigners cant get

[@QueenMegaera]

I thought it was a House reference (vicodine)

[@nathanlarsen7461]

D-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d gentlemen, gentlemen........................... someone say something! That nearly killed me with laughter. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@jackbotman]

We will have to opt out I'm afraid. Predicting the brexit is tight

[@HerHandsMyHands]

Every time I watch this I laugh until I cry. Priceless.

[@leathomas8399]

2021...years later and my stomach hurts again..

[@Thejanjan39]

Hugh Laurie is so cute there, even with that silly beard. And of course he and Fry are hilarious when they're cracking up.

[@EmmyNeander]

"OK, NOW I'm ready!" The wigs make it even better :)

[@Plons0Nard]

Stephen is on (to) something 😊

[@sleazyslytherin6836]

Lol revisiting all the hugh laurie/ fry vids xp whenever I mess up, i do the exact same thing Hugh did in the last few takes "Ok! NOW, I'm ready"

[@HipnikDragomir]

Wow, an actual studio audience.

[@wizardsuth]

For a second I thought all those d-d-d-d-d-d's were going to turn into _Flight of the Bumblebee_

[@sethorren]

Boy did they OPT out of THAT one!

[@slaphead6000]

When I'm done here, I shall be watching (in the Orient) the final episode of "House". Thanks for eight great years Hugh!

[@angel07p]

i think that one of the most entertaining parts of being an actor is all the fun you have while shooting

[@Donna-cc1kt]

And oh the work!

[@slaphead6000]

@RaZarati I thank Mr Fry for tweeting the link to this. I am ALSO a major fan. And of his friend Mr Laurie, for that matter.

[@ShikataGaNai100]

Absolutely EPIC Fry & Laurie. Made my day.

[@hhgoldengirl]

watched this several times - only once is not enough - brilliant - huge thanks

[@lisadiane55]

"Jazz cigarettes" - what a great term. I could imagine it as a lubricant for Laurie's multi-dimensional creative talents.

[@sasamuraki]

thanks for uploading - been looking for these kinda bloopers - so hilarious..

[@slaphead6000]

AHAH! THAT explains it. It SEEMED to me that Stephen was being POINTED when he said it - and Hugh's reaction to it seemed a bit GUILTY! Oh for the day we can all smoke jazz cigarettes without fear...

[@Nautilus1972]

0.24 Fry unwittingly announcing that he is high on cocaine. Twice.

[@John-yf7iy]

He went on to fill entire dreary memoirs detailing when and where he got high on cocaine...

[@griffinmatter]

Funny stuff, but I don't see how they can keep going on and on like that and not get tired of it or even get it right. :)

[@A-small-amount-of-peas]

It's called corpsing and if you haven't experienced it then it's hard to describe

[@eleanorcleary8391]

+Reb Brown Ricky Gervais on Extras is a prime example of corpsing. Funniest thing i have ever watched. 10/10 would highly recommend if feeling down.

[@A-small-amount-of-peas]

Eleanor Cleary I have and Ricky is probably the worst corpser of them all

[@filipnassen9076]

Just image working with Stephen Fry. That would be wonderful 😊

[@Donna-cc1kt]

And as I’m not brilliant, terribly sad. Lol

[@Donna-cc1kt]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. To not take life too terribly seriously, ahhhh!

[@jburtson]

I'm reading all the comments in Stephen Fry's voice. Everything seems terribly more sophisticated.

[@HarryHandelbar]

"d-d-d-d-d-d-d-gentlemen!" - i think i may have ruptured my spleen laughing

[@ramonaneith-banik5022]

I think it must be just me, but hugh Laurie looks like Van Helfin in that custom. Both lovely to look at. And Stephen Fry will all ways be WOW good looking.

[@CaitieLou]

The way Stephen Fry said gentlemen sounds exactly like my lawnmower as it powers off.

[@Monidhoni]

For a moment I actually thought Stephen fry was the guy as dumbledore.

[@michaellyden2580]

Remember Stephen, your line is "Harry pocketed it." Ready? And... *ACTION!* 1:18

[@agnesdeque]

@GalaSmile Thank you very very much for the answer !

[@pamelamiller1768]

Much too much fun.

[@ADyingFaith]

@slaphead6000 I can hear an echo of Peter and John in that DAMN of yours.

[@oldmediafanatic_24]

🤣 This is gold!

[@stewdune]

Did they ever complete that sketch, or give up and all go home to bed

[@davidw.2791]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnXcXnabgMyDl5o

[@sunside7]

My goodness, I think I cracked my ribs laughing at this!

[@nemonucliosis]

Oh the laugh tracks.

[@Surtak]

@slaphead6000 That is to say, the "Britain" show does show up, but not this one. Or are they the same? I'm rambling now.

[@lisadiane55]

It appeared to be Blackadder, with Rowan in the same role and time period as Fry plays here, addressing a group of men around a table. I could be mistaken.

[@neen222]

I think it's definitely from the film The Nearly Complete and Utter History of Everything not to be confused with the tv series The Complete and Utter History of Britain

[@arayia6girmay]

I'm laughing so much it hurts

[@johnhughes2681]

Gggggggggggggreat fusion of the contemporary with the historical. Love how they keep losing it

[@dontmakelemonade]

Hilarious is putting it lightly

[@Rixar13]

Priceless....

[@CI2A1Gx]

d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d- lol! ah stephen fry is BRILLIANT!!

[@IcePickJoe]

@singinginachurch Don´t think so, thought I had seen all of that. It´s also not from blackadder :( But where is it from? Have never seen it before! Please! Someone! I need to see that!

[@mesquitegirl2013]

love this

[@Surtak]

@slaphead6000 What is this show? I've never seen it and my life will not be complete until I do!

[@slaphead6000]

You are! It's "The Nearly Complete and Utter History of Everything "

[@dharmaseed]

Or General Melchett's sheep laugh!

[@lisadiane55]

Is this "ddddddddddd-gentlemen" a wink or nod or related to the "ddddddddddddd-gentlemen" uttered by Rowan Atkinson? Or is it purely coincidential, a common form of address in the UK?

[@tiaancloete5133]

Wonder if that high grade narcotic was vicodin...

[@OmgRockOut]

'd-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-gentlemen' is my text alert XD

[@slaphead6000]

@FastMonkeyBluePants DAMN! I can't believe I DID that! You're right of course - and I've followed him from C4's "Saturday Live" to "House" - I ought to know how to spell his NAME! I've corrected my cock-up. THANK you for the help.

[@rtl4x4]

they say of the Acropolis, where the Parthenon is ...

[@amylove999]

thats Sir Anthony Stradlin of Downton Abbey in this sketch

[@slaphead6000]

@Surtak "The Nearly Complete And Utter History Of Everything" - but you probably know that now - sorry for the delay in answering!

[@IspettoreCatiponda1]

74 people don't like Luxembourg nor pickled herring

[@MRJAMMYDODGER101]

That high grade narcotic Hugh is so fond of is cannabis, he is well known to be a cannabis smoker.

[@Babsan11]

Lovely! Thank you!!!

[@chocchipfox]

"D-d-d-d-d-d-d gentlemen!" -pause- "...someone say something."

[@lisadiane55]

I don't see my reply to you posted, so this may be a duplicate: Being a Hugh Laurie fan, I was watching various KZbin clips, when I stumbed upon the scene of Rowan uttering the same line, the same way. I don't know which episode it was. Sorry I can't help.

[@Surtak]

@slaphead6000 Ok, now how do I find it? It doesn't appear to be on the tube. Any idea where to get it?

[@toddscdavidson]

Does anyone know where you can get the whole show?

[@Drekster2001]

I KNOW you're right :) It's him ...

[@slaphead6000]

@zerotamlin - I think you're right.

[@heresjoje]

hahaha v good!!!!! xx ty for posting

[@slaphead6000]

It's "The Nearly Complete and Utter History of Everything "

[@generalpublic3744]

Anyone got a better use for Luxembourg other than storage I want to hear it. 😉

[@hughc023]

Brilliant!! . . .

[@ADyingFaith]

@Mayna00 Damn, double damn and an extra pint of damn for the weekend!

[@Ed17cellotape]

Yes. Sir Anthony

[@tuberobotto]

Now that's halarious! Disrespectful but halarious! : p

[@Surtak]

@slaphead6000 I did not actually, thank you very much!

[@rogergomez1]

i miss rik mayall.....

[@slashingraven]

Do you know which show? Blackadder, or something else?

[@synthonaplinth5980]

Who is the guy sitting to Fry's right with the blonde wig?

[@slaphead6000]

I'm pretty sure it's James Dreyfus.

[@synthonaplinth5980]

slaphead6000 I don't know what was more hilarious, the fact that he was pretty much convulsed with laughter after Stephen's silly noise, or Stephen's exaggerated tilt to look under his wig on the next take.

[@JaneXemylixa]

Mark Gatiss, the screenwriter of Doctor Who and the author of Sherlock. I was excited to find him here :)

[@synthonaplinth5980]

Oh, so it's not James Dreyfus?

[@slaphead6000]

synth on a plinth NO! It is NOT Mark Gatiss. The sketch starred Fry and Laurie, with Robert Bathurst (far left) Patrick Barlow (right, standing) and JAMES DREYFUS. FACT!

[@Mayna00]

@ADyingFaith Damn it four times around the car park and back in for another DAMNIT! xD
