STEPHEN FRY'S BEST IMPRESSIONS On QI!

[@hamburgerhelperflick]

Anything "Best of Stephen Fry" is always a treat

[@TheMDJ2000]

As an Australian I would say that Stephen’s Australian accent is almost perfect.

[@Robert399]

It's better than mine (and I'm also Australian)

[@anthonybody7319]

I agree it’s pretty spot on

[@andreajoybelle]

Agree

[@xanas93]

Honestly, makes me question my own Aussie accent haha spot on

[@bowiejnr]

Best I've heard

[@sharonlock6452]

Camp horror ." Ooh you gave me a start . " hilarious

[@realPenrodPooch]

Indeed!

[@joelake7986]

The world needs camp horror.

[@baoboumusic]

I would so watch that.

[@brianriff8550]

Gotta love Stephen Fry poking fun at his own demographic, hehe XD

[@caitthecat]

They didn't include Jimmy saying "Someone stabbed me in the back."

[@marycanary86]

"halloo and velcome to zeh baftas" is just iconic

[@ZeHoSmusician]

"Stooop it!" :)

[@puppetsock]

"I know you think you're doing a voice, but that is how you talk."

[@berniethekiwidragon4382]

I've lost mein handy...

[@klemensk8776]

As a german I am very sad, that I can't do such a great german accent

[@U2QuoZepplin]

"Drink Canada Dry .".... That's such a good one.

[@winey2139]

Stephen Fry is a treasure.

[@tricursor2481]

He's one of the major people that make me wish American televisions aired British tv stations when I was growing up. There's so much to watch with him in it that I just know I would have loved growing up with, and impossible to find the time to "catch up" today. This is going to sound silly with how some people idolize and "stan" for celebrities, but he just seems like the type of person that would be so easy to get along with in real life.

[@Crossword131]

Pure truth.

[@johnmc3862]

And a good actor.

[@theplasmawolf]

Saw the thumbnail, immediately thought of the bit where he says "Mein Handy", and it's the first bit. Happy how that works out so well.

[@falconpowerful2362]

He does one of the best Aussie impressions. I'm always impressed by it :-) .

[@vik3071]

Struggling with my mental health today but this video made me giggle. Thank you to whoever made it x

[@vivienneoneill5400]

It does help a lot when you are down.❤❤❤❤

[@Ghosthuntert1]

Stephen Fry NEEDS to write a book about his life and include his movie experiences, his time on television and where he learned all his hilarious acents. When he does an accent, his entire body also gets in on the act.. I beleive that book would be amazing.

[@michaelhawkins7389]

he has a book about his life , its been out for years

[@patrickhankin2938]

Several books, in fact.

[@AdenNak]

He has written three.

[@AdenNak]

AND YOU CAN GET THEM AS AUDIOBOOKS!

[@AubreyRB1]

Just one more reason the incomparable Stephen Fry is my Hero ❤️

[@paolagrando5079]

Any time that I hear or read "jojoba" or "Netanyahu" in my head I hear Steven Fry's voice imitating Billy Connolly.

[@kurt5079]

"Makes you proud to be British" XD

[@LPJack02]

Stephen’s Vincent Price voice had me die laughing!!!🤣🤣🤣

[@Jakeshapedworld]

His Australian is so good

[@ZestySea]

Yeah - I loved it!

[@ykkrasaoz9748]

It's better than my own voice

[@rumpelstiltskin6150]

It's quite good during the moments where it slightly slips away.

[@EnzymeGuy]

Better than any American ever, and better than most Brits I have heard.

[@frankmachin5438]

He does the best Australian accent I’ve ever heard…

[@saratim4659]

Would love to have him as my grandfather, will have a lot of stories to tell me.

[@rikuddou]

You should watch his documentaries where he travel USA and Mexico. Absolute fun and informative at same time.

[@saiken811]

@@rikuddou what's it called? Thanks.

[@him050]

Stephen’s camp horror is pretty much me whenever my partner jumps out on me and makes me jump. I’m not that camp, but when I’m given a “start” I’m as camp as a row of pink tents.

[@Nilguiri]

haha, ooh, isn't he bold! I hope your partner is a bona omi and all butch!

[@dickJohnsonpeter]

What's a partner? Do you mean girlfriend/fiancé/wife? Or did you mean friend? I've never introduced anyone as my "partner" and really don't know how someone has one of those instead of what they are. It sounds like a cowboy thing maybe?

[@merrymermaid]

@@dickJohnsonpeter idk where you’re from but here in the UK ‘partner’ is an incredibly common synonym for boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife. it just means your other half :)

[@dickJohnsonpeter]

@@merrymermaid Here in America people say it too but it was very rare until recently and I don't understand at all the reason someone would call their girlfriend/boyfriend, fiance, or wife/husband a "partner". It was never like that and now people do it and, sorry but I don't understand it. I've watched tons of British television and never heard that until recently. Actually I remember only gay people said that here but recently people who aren't gay are saying it for some reason.

[@merrymermaid]

@@dickJohnsonpeter it’s been a thing for as long as i can remember here and i’m 19. from what i’ve observed, mainly people over the age of 25 use it, i’ve never seen or heard a teenager use it. i think it’s because an adult prefers not to say ‘boyfriend’ or ‘girlfriend’ simply because the person they are dating is not a ‘boy’ or ‘girl’, they’re a man or woman! it also caters to any non-binary or gender fluid people, which i think is great :)

[@StarWarrior91]

I’m an American just discovering this show. It’s a riot

[@jesmarina]

Such a great, funny and talented guy Stephen! A true beacon!

[@hanshellman4867]

Brilliant Stephen!

[@Malky24]

"Mae West's vibrator" deserved more

[@vangroover1903]

It probably got enough attention in its prime.

[@m.charron]

Stephen was a gem on this show. Would be nice if he came back to it.

[@michaelhawkins7389]

that will never happen he was getting tired of it due to the fact the produces made him do 3 episodes in 24 hours due to budget cuts, . and wanted to move on he had started on the show since 2003 and left the show in 2016

[@johnmc3862]

He was too good for it!

[@josh2Sides2]

Could of been a guest but I guess he's not all that interested in appearing.

[@shmookins]

I wish I could forget everything about QI so I can watch it all for the first time again.

[@dazediss6629]

There’s never been a better person who ever lived.

[@psychosoma5049]

I agree 💯

[@MichaelBOverthinking]

RIP Sean Locke

[@gezatherton1071]

“Wo ist mein Handy!” 😂

[@Varrik159]

I'm most impressed by his Maggie Smith!

[@chloe1-2-3-4-5]

4:38 is fantastic

[@mosesappleby4357]

His Australian was spot on.

[@UpSideDownDog52]

Stephen’s impression of a spooking horse is spot on.

[@nickphipp1949]

Camp horror: 'Ooh, stop it, you'll give me the willies!'

[@HouseSanity]

I pissed my laugh when stephan said " he's loooookin at me"

[@beijingpete]

"Carry on Screaming" is a camp horror film!

[@fredsmith-kingofthelunatic7810]

Stephen still one of the very few people who can do a bogan Aussie accent and pull it off.

[@waynemarvin5661]

What's a bogan Aussie?

[@angemaidment5640]

He sounds a little like Graham Kennedy.

[@becroberts4326]

Bahahaha so true

[@fransb8543]

He even adds the authentic acid reflux mid-sentence

[@animaltvi9515]

​@Wayne Marvin an uncouth or unsophiscated person.

[@Hysteria98]

This ends on the absolute best note of them all. Jimmy carr's comment is one of the best lines in all 200+ episodes, he always has the best quips. Perfect end to this

[@legendarycheekymonkey]

He's a master of anything involved with words. It's a disgrace he's not in more movies. Sorry, all the movies.

[@PbFoot]

i love sandi, but QI just isnt the same without stephen.

[@Tibbyrevolution]

Isn't worse or better though, just different

[@FLITT]

She's the only person who could have replaced him though imo.

[@franalbertgarcia8601]

I agree with both the OP and the replies. I absolutely love Sandi, she's brilliant, funny, she has great chemistry with Alan and some guests like Phil Jupitus, Susan Calman, Bill Bailey... But I also miss Stephen on Qi, he is unique

[@no_peace]

I don't like it as much now...i wish they had changed it more to make it more of her show.... Stephen and Alan were QI to me

[@vivienneoneill5400]

I love them both ,they are both great.❤❤❤❤

[@josh2Sides2]

One of the many reasons i was inspired to go into voice was because of one, Mr Stephen Fry. He just has a way with words, it was great watching him read extracts from his novel on Troy.

[@zaynepearce7128]

best Australian accent i can remember.

[@VestigialHead]

I am amazed no one has made a camp horror.

[@TheGreatFG2010]

I love Stephen Fry.

[@timwodzynski7234]

Stephen is a legend 👍🤣👌

[@blondie1169]

What a great talent

[@saiken811]

Please Stephen, you need to write, direct and act in a camp horror! Please!

[@SceneArtisan]

4:39 = LOL,. Brilliant anecdote (funny impression too)!

[@notalentman1846]

Irish accent is best I’ve ever heard.

[@christophermccutcheon2143]

As a Northern Irishman, the Belfast accent was pretty much perfect

[@petermcgill1315]

Best Australian accent... EVER!!!

[@gromcom]

I think the Diana Mosley impression is my favourite

[@anthonyapostolaros6717]

Stephen's Hungarian uncle's pronunciation of the name Pythagoras, which so confused Stephen, is exactly the way the old philosopher would have pronounced it himself -- peet-hah-GORE-ahce. If Pythagoras had heard Stephen say pie-THAG-or-is, he wouldn't have had any idea what that meant.

[@khymaaren]

It is also blatantly recognizable as pronounced in Hungarian. It basically starts with "pee" instead of "pie" and the rest is more or less the same. I didn't get why he wouldn't understand it.

[@Harcix]

In Latvia we pronounce it also like that

[@john.premose]

No, it would have been Pu-t-ha-gor-as. The u is pronounced somewhere between u and e

[@khymaaren]

@@john.premose Oddly enough, we have a letter that is a close approximate to how that would sound in Hungarian: "ü". Still, we pronounce it exactly how Stephen's grandad did.

[@joshuaspencer1578]

Bill Bailey with street 😂😂

[@CJ-111]

Stephen Fry was the perfect host of QI. He was smart, interesting and on those rare occasions, he completely stole the show. Everyone else sat back and enjoyed his input

[@mvmallinson]

Just brilliant !!

[@jadeitegray3531]

As an Australian he does such a good accent not many can

[@DeanMoxley87]

Shout out to Linda Smith 3:52

[@danielloeb2044]

I'm pretty sure the first invention to break the sound barrier is the whip.

That was the answer, they cut it out🙂

[@returnoftheredeye]

He's a pretty good all-rounder at impressions and accents. No Steve Coogan, but decent.

[@hexxon77]

Great. Fry was the best. BTW. Actually Stephen's grandad pronounced Πυθαγόρας name properly: "Pitagoras". That is English speakers say it wrong.
