Oct 8, 2009 - "Language is a complimentary, moist, lemon-scented cleansing square." Hah.

Oct 14, 2009 - why does the audience laughter have to be so bloody loud?

Goynga Says:

Oct 18, 2009 - he surely is ))

sanmal88 Says:

Oct 18, 2009 - I think u ment to say "pretentious". *smiles in a certain way*

flowder8 Says:

Oct 21, 2009 - i was thinking the same thing, but then i realized that if i was in the audience and watching these two geniuses at work i would be just as loud!

blindingtorment Says:

Oct 23, 2009 - Funny thing...the audience laughter in Fry and Laurie (which is real) has often been used as "laugh tracks" for other shows.

R055b0red Says:

Oct 23, 2009 - yeah i know its real but whats the point in recording it?

blindingtorment Says:

Oct 24, 2009 - There has to be a point? It's taped in front of an audience, and they are laughing...just like if it was Conan O'Brien or something.

Nov 10, 2009 - For me its not about the laugh, its just that as I'm a spanish speaker I find it a little bit difficult to follow... It'd be great if some one could subtitle it...

mauerbluemchen0 Says:

Nov 10, 2009 - Yes, but he attributed it to stage fright at the time, didn't he?

gloomyoutlook Says:

Nov 11, 2009 - Some varieties of comedy interact with audience reactions

EnglishRepublicNow Says:

Nov 12, 2009 - Watching this didn't even raise a smile on my lips. The dubbed hooting was funnier.

Nov 12, 2009 - hahaha please tell me you realise what you've done there, if not you are just the sort of person stephen fry was mocking

meaning1 Says:

Nov 13, 2009 - No, did you not see the blatant ill- use of words? It is so sad that people marked my comment down; by doing so, they have undermined their own ability to interpret the humour. Somebody else was saying that they concur with what is being said - and the sketch is evidently mocking the inept use of words that are used in the incorrect context. "Compartmentalize", for instance, used incorrectly as a joke. In my message, I wrote in a verbose manner to make my point. It really is very simple!

meaning1 Says:

Nov 13, 2009 - Jesus, the world really is "dumbing down". Those who marked my comment negatively are a reflection of the world's idiocy.

Nov 13, 2009 - The awkward pause at 2:37 always cracks me up.
