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

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.

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

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

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!!

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

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

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

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 😂

Someone say something. LOL

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.

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.

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!

The sheer brilliance of Stephen Fry is truly legendary!

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"

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. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Fry is bloody brilliant! Long live Fry!

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.

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

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

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

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.

Two fine fine actors. Beautiful people indeed.

I love watching them riff around the script.

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

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

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

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

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

Absolutely EPIC Fry & Laurie. Made my day.

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

Wow, an actual studio audience.

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

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

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

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"

Stephen is on (to) something 😊

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

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...

Boy did they OPT out of THAT one!

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

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

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

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

@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.

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

Makes SNL look like comedy pre-school.

🤣 This is gold!

love this

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.

Lovely! Thank you!!!

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

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

@GalaSmile Thank you very very much for the answer !

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

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.

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

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. :)

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

Hilarious is putting it lightly

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

Much too much fun.

I'm laughing so much it hurts

Oh the laugh tracks.

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

Priceless....

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

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.

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

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

Does anyone know where you can get the whole show?

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

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

thats Sir Anthony Stradlin of Downton Abbey in this sketch

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

I love it

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

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

Brilliant!! . . .

@Templetonq "The Nearly Complete And Utter History Of Everything" - I think...

@zerotamlin - I think you're right.

Wonder if that high grade narcotic was vicodin...

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

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

Or General Melchett's sheep laugh!

Any idea which episode?

Does anyone know how I can watch this movie?

where is this from? i've never seen it before

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

Yes. Sir Anthony

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

@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.

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

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

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

@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!

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

Can domeone tell me whats funny in outtake #3?

I wish I could find that tweet. Do you have it in your favourites or something?

Well - "high grade narcotic" WOULD be a more appropriate description for THAT than humble weed...

@Templetonq A Bit of Fry And Laurie
