Is there any possible way we can preserve Stephen Fry, or at least clone him eternally? The man is a treasure and I adore him.

[@MythicSuns]

One thing I really like about Fry is how ridiculously good he is at changing his accent.

"Sir please set fire to my legs if you think I'm trying to make haircutting more glamorous and romantic than it really is" Brilliant!

It seems like every other Fry and Laurie sketch is Fry being mental and Laurie being confused

[@testshietchannel]

They do one thing and they do it well 😁

[@BrunoBarcelosAlves]

"Your name, sir", the one where Fry is a police officer and Laurie is Mr. Nippl-e, seems to be the opposite.

[@bradleybarnett9545]

That's called 'being the straight man'.

[@Jonesyjr1]

Well he was on rather a lot of cocaine at the time

[@hollyb6885]

And Baldrick is a dim wit. THAT is the character he plays. They all play their characters extremely well!!

[@HSMiyamoto]

2:05 - This Laurie and Fry sketch is straight-up Python. So many lines, and so much physical comedy.

[@ChestersonJack]

I think it’s Blackadder, not Fry and Laurie! Unless, of course, you’re simply referring to the fact that the sketch has both the actors in it, and not that it is a sketch from their self-titled show.

[@HSMiyamoto]

@@ChestersonJack That's exactly what I meant.

[@nickacelvn]

@@HSMiyamoto Oh dear. It's rather important that one is not only clear and concise in one's response but also means exactly what one says. Otherwise, we shall end up here in 2025 where nobody knows whatever is going on and thus becomes run by a bunch of idiots. Oh wait, goodness gracious. Do try harder.

[@kelliewithanienotay]

Stephen Fry is a National Treasure 💕

[@Zelos311]

"Rest your weary elbows!" And "Warned you on bended legs!" Are two lines that sum up Stephen Fry quite succintly.

[@marksims3904]

"BAAAAH!" Stephen Fry is not just a treasure, he should be shrink wrapped so future generations can study him and work out his intelligence for themselves, and then pass it onto others that they may learn from the genius. Even with the comedy, the sketches and the laughter, I could listen to Stephen reading the phone book, and be absolutely mesmerised at his dulcet tones as they chime off business and personal numbers, each one a reverence of personality. And he would put his heart and soul into each one.

[@KabirChattopadhyay1991]

Naming him Darling rather than Cartwright as intended originally, an idea suggested by Fry himself, was a masterstroke.

[@thefalsekingslayer3717]

For me the all time greatest shall be the model shop skit. Its so wonderfully absurd and Laurie is the perfect straight-man as always.

Fry is always brilliant. It made me sick when the idiots at CBS cancelled The Great Indoors. That show was funny as hell. Never been done before. Great weird chatacters and Stephen Fry. Ive completely given up on television. The powers that be keep crapping out shows before they even get a chance to build up a following. Superior donuts. Rebel. Great indoors. Men at work kevin can wait but you dont kill off parents on a sitcom. The mom was cool on that show. The fam all were funny as hell.

[@Kx110x]

It’s a shame that such an intellectual and master of comedy could be so inept when it comes to global affairs , some of his opinions regarding the fate of the planet and the activities of the extinction rebellion are at best naive if not puerile . He is bless him is an embodiment of intellectual prowess, and yet has little basic common sense . Sadly he is not alone in this regard , but in the defence of free speech he must be allowed to state his opinions . As a person I have great respect for his good self , and would never wish to denigrate his contribution to the world of entertainment , but I do feel he is decidedly wrong on many matters that confront the average person. So many in the world of fame seem duty bond to inflict the rest of us with their pearls of wisdom, I for one would ask they to refrain from doing so .

[@simongaines7723]

With Blackadder an exception the only other sketch with a glint of humour was the barman skit,(which,by the way, was pure Two Ronnies),Messers Fry & Laurie are both more than capable performers but their writing was pretty poor.
