Stephen Fry in New York 

Hope Stephen liked my State...Love you Mr. Fry xx

Hearing queens refereed to as ‘an Italian Burrough’ makes me laugh

@yngguy4u I love the old "New Yawk" accents. Not the Jersey Shore types mind you, but just the old school New York accents.

4:18 the girl waves but the guy's like "ey, whatsa matta whicha, we gotta look cool"

Aww, the poor short guy reached out for a handshake and got totally stiffed.

4:16 "oh, a camera, i gonna wave!" *waves* "no no no, honey don't wave to the camera, just look sullen, like me." "okay." that is what happened.

the old man at 5:13 has the strongest new york accent haha funny

@spacecarb Yeah I saw that too, but Fry did not deliberately blank him, he didn't notice or see the extended hand. He is ridiculously good natured and polite usually, there is not a bad or ignorant bone in him.

700 languages spoken in queens. Only one of them is Italian.

I wonder how many other people call him "Steve" :D

Its funny. I'm Italian, born in Brooklyn, grandparents from Queens, grew up on Long Island but I don't identify with the "NY Italian" types from Jersey Shore or Sopranos or this documentary. I know it seems to the outside world that we all look, sound and act this way,but we really don't. Most may have a bit of an accent, but the heavy "HEY OH! New YAWK thing is very 1970s.

@whatismyname5151 No, he said the predominantly Italian boro of Queens.

7:11 left hanging. Devastating

cleansed?

@mrsunguibus Fortunately, you don't have to give up your life. Someone had the good sense and foresight to document this event for posterity, as you can see here!

@narg Um... Bensonhurst? Pretty predominant there.

he was talking about the italian part of queens not calling queens itallian

7:11 Left hangin

@rfid4dna he said the Italian neighborhood IN queens

Whoops, I take that back. He calls it a "borough" in the beginning but a "neighborhood" toward the end. Never mind ;-)

@dlane0308 yes my whole family has that accent (the older generation) I'm not sure why the younger generation has less of it but we do. We still say cawfee and chawcolate but I think there are just so many posers that it became cheesy and cringe-worthy.

In all fairness, he said "borough", not "neighborhood". But, yeah, Queens isn't really predominantly any single ethnicity.

What is this from?

@mrsunguibus well, you kind of are aren't you?

@rfid4dna lol

Oh god.. cringed so hard at 7:11

Sting is one of the most boring men that’s ever existed.

Predominantly Italian neighborhood of Queens? I think not.

3:31 hit the curb..

hehe, "Englishman in New York," clever.

uh thanks god UK people don't sound like that ! Thank you god

4:15 DONT DO THAT
