Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie perform a hilarious short comedy sketch in a police station. A man making a statement has a surname that is pretty hard to pronounce! Watch this classic moment from the ground-breaking comedy sketch show ‘A Bit of Fry and Laurie’ for free with BBC Worldwide.

    ha…. comeback? who’s bothering? yours are the lame comments that presume wrongly on a number of points regarding my exposure to American comedy. Your arguments are so weak I’m giving them undue status by referring to them as arguments. You may not be American but I’m forced to classify you along with the stupid members of that society. Which, by the way, no matter how PC you want to get, IS currently most of them.

    I’m fairly certain it’s a baseball idiom.

  • mda04pcn said:

    Pretty weak comeback.

    Even saying ‘most’ of 300 million people is just plain ridiculous.

    You are talking nonsense. Deal with it.

    @FlipPriv I haven’t seen either of those, but both of these English actors were in a very funny series called Black Adder, starring Rowan Atkinson.

    “i hate british humour”

    That’s kind of amusing… In Britain we have the stereotype for Germans having no sense of humour… What with you being from Germany and all…

  • ransomdave said:

    I agree with what you are saying, but I’m fairly confident straight of the bat is an English saying, referring to cricket… Otherwise I think you are spot on.

  • ransomdave said:

    You say that but I think Frasier is fairly clever…

    ohh, thanks!

  • ransomdave said:

    @gdh6200
    Excuse my hand writing… Well get a type writer… Well if only I could afford a type writer sir… Do you know it’s funny, but from this angle it looks like … Kings Lynn

    That is one of the best Lye & Fraury I’ve seen, it ‘as been a while , I was in cloink for most of it.

  • FlipPriv said:

    I didn’t know Hugh Laurie was British or English… When was this when they did this sketch? I barely recognize him!
    I know he was in Stuart Little and House, but not with this accent! :D

    @purpleyipXD No shit

  • gdh6200 said:

    What do they say since 2:41 till the end? I’m not english, and I can’t understand that part…

  • FeelMetalMan said:

    whole europe loves british humor

    my blanket statement is fair. I know Americans have good stuff like Arrested Development, South Park, SNL (some of the old seasons), Stewart and Colbert, Simpsons, the list goes on. But just look at most of the country.

    One thing you have to take note of, “most” does not mean the same as “all”. Do check a dictionary sometime, or go reread “the cat sat on the mat” to brush up on your basic comprehension.

    As for “sheltered life”… what? Heh.

  • mda04pcn said:

    I’m not American so i’m not saying this out of patriotic defense.

    To blanket statemete an entire country of 300 million undermines your air of superiority straight off the bat. (a nice americanism for you)

    If you had bothered to give American comedy some attention and time you would have realised in your sheltered life that Americans, as you so grossly put it, are aware of, can use and understand the fine nuances and subtleties of sketch comedy.

  • lefredvoncarstein said:

    we’d laugh at you, but you’re not funny or interesting enough.

  • lefredvoncarstein said:

    That’s great, but plenty of Americans can’t get it. They’d probably have trouble even pointing out the UK on a map, let alone understand the differences of usage between Great Britain, England, UK, British Isles, etc. They’re probably sketchy even about facets of your own history, let alone that of other countries and cultures all over the world.

    When you say “us” you’re referring to the minority of Americans who can still be considered decently educated. I know you guys still exist…
