coolnamebro - It absolutely isn’t canned. It’s filmed in front of a live studio audience. Even the on location sketches are played back to the studio audience and the laughter recorded live.

"The man was either mad or both" is different, I think. There are two meanings of mad so he's saying "the man was either crazy, very enthusiastic [mad about...] or both". Same effect really in that it subverts our expectation of another adjective after "or" but it is more of a joke.

I think the massacre jokes killed.
You could say the jokes were killer
It's such a sweet idea for a talk show because even with a bed, it's nothing sexual at all! Just an opportunity to get to know famous people in a relaxing setting :)
Paula Yates used to have show very similar, called The Big Bed I believe, and that is where she met Michael Hutchence.
I personally find the idea of being interviewed in my bed disturbing.
You entirely missed the point of the sketch didn't you?
German television has that great series translated "A night with..." where kinda random celebs or so spend a night in the city together - somehow awsome every time.
@@TomSmith-jp1es Not neccesarily, he/she just thinks it would be a good idea irl, without the implications in this particular video. No need to be an ass about it.
'At least every night.' Such subtle genius.
I actually like this concept. Sleeping with celebrities. Late night pillow talk. I would watch that.
Yes, sleeping with celebrities! What a genius idea!
I used to talk about an idea for a late night show called Pillow Talk where the celebrity and host both wear pajamas and play sleepover-type games (Truth or Dare, 20 Questions, etc.) and then at the end of the show have a serious talk segment called 3 am Conversations where you get really deep and then you end with them having their favorite breakfast. I thought it was all quite clever really lol

It's like watching any interview with Henry Kissinger.
This general has more self awareness
What a brilliant show, and writing too.
The Brits ARE some inventive and funny people. And they aren't shy to bring tricky issues forward like massacering civilians.... Great.
We've got long experience of it.
When you've been through as much crap as the British have (a lot if it from our own side) you either laugh or go insane. Most of us have decided to do both, just in case.
Fry would make a great movie stalin
Way too tall.
now..uh, about those massacres..
i actually would like a talk show where it's just two people going to bed, played at around 11 in the evening just as i'm trying to sleep.
Joan Rivers has got that request... ehem... covered.
Bunk Bed on BBC Sounds is pretty much this!
Brilliant sketch! Love these guys.
I would watch a series like this. some dude interviewing different people and going to bed with them in a platonic sense.
Oh, to be the chilly vanilla in that ice cream sandwich...
Stephen Fry in silk pyjamas... delicious 💕
PrplMnkyDshWshr LOL
"I suppose I could have put some cream on it" I'm rolling right now XD
I just love hugh Laurie! Amazing as always
Terrified about the duvet question, not the massacres.
Ah, you see, what you've done there, is you've cleverly deduced the hidden humour in the sketch.
+@@samgab Hey, but why exactly is the Major terrified of Peter questioning him about the duvet?
@@gopalpoudyal6553 That's the joke. He's terrified of a question that shouldn't intimidate anyone. Yet, he has no issue with the questions that pertain to the massacre.
These guys are just great!!!
This is a take-off of an interview show hosted by Emma Freud. Superbly done.
Paula Yates did something similar.
There was a contemporary (or rather a few years earlier) very late night chat show called Pillow Talk, whereby celebrities would lie in bed with Emma Freud (the great man’s great granddaughter) and asked not very intimate or searching questions. Great premise. This was a bit of a parody.
2:57 the man needs some Vicodin
this is terrifyingly current.
Never thought one day this guy will do the House
Qi got really weird at the end...
I love that Stephen was the big spoon at the end :-D
Hugh wears sideburns well.
He wears literally anything well lol
These guys are comedy geniuses
Chilling!
I want a malted milk now.
Can u imagine getting a reply after ten years of ur comment 😂😂
The leg cramp! 😂😂😂 That'd definitely be me!
I would watch this show.
Looking through these comments.....so much love from the ladies, can you blame them?
That's great
His explanations are like my mother and grandfather.
how they remember these whole sketches is beyond me
I always saw comments like "this would be a great show" here and then I saw a trailer for a show called Sleeping with Friends or something, and it just reminded me of this video.
They were funny.. i miss that duo!
This is like an interview on the one show
The intellectual's answer to Bert and Ernie.
Funny topic approached in a funny way, looking at it from the distance...lovely British society 🎉
How can Stephen look even more adorable with a little mustache?! :D
Just gave a thumbs up to one of the top comments. Then we're all happy !!
I’d watch this regularly if it were a thing
At least every night, sometimes even more nights than that
I never thought that jeeves and wooster would sleep together
1:08 I get the distinct impression that Hugh might be searching for his lines here.
Sketch is roughly based on jalianwala massacre led by general dire. A huge fan of Hugh. From pakistan
General Dire was a huge fan of Hugh Laurie? That still not a valid excuse, though. :-P
Could someone explain this joke to me: "My father was a chemist." "Really? What's the difference?" "I don't know."
1) "My father was X." 2) "Oh, so he did Y." 3) "No, that's a Z, people usually confuse those." 4) "Really? What's the difference?" 5) "I don't know/[Witty aphorism about the difference]." It is a cliché conversation, they just shortened it up to subvert expectations. It's like in the letter sketch: "The man was either mad or both". Maybe.
Ah yes, I guess I can see that. Thanks!
"The man was either mad or both" is different, I think. There are two meanings of mad so he's saying "the man was either crazy, very enthusiastic [mad about...] or both". Same effect really in that it subverts our expectation of another adjective after "or" but it is more of a joke.
Ooooh, I didn't see it like that. That's a funnier joke than I had thought of. Not being native English speaker limits your interpretation to be honest, so thank you for your insight.
M'DUDE
One of my favourite programs along with James Brown's celebrity hot tub.
Peter Mosten/Mostin.... that was the name of Hugh's character in those Allied & Leicester adverts they did in the 80s. Or was it Bradford & Bingley? Compact and bijou Mosten.
Hugh Laurie played Mostyn in the Alliance & Leicester adverts. It might have been Peter Mostyn, but I don't actually remember him being given a full name.
Hugh and Steven doing their own take on The Odd Couple.
I could not love the top rated comments on this video more. XD
Brilliant and brutal.
Hugh's hair makes him look like a Victorian industrialist.
@GrissFan amen !(:
This isn't actually a bad idea! They should do a program like this: "A Refreshing Bath With..." :)
How is this not a podcast
N'aww they are spooning.
duvets for life
The massacre jokes killed me.
Yup, duvets!!
Im watching this at 5AM
Ironic that im watching this at 2 am
Even Alanis Morissette shuddered at this comment.
"I'll be sleeping with the Bishop of Liverpool and Gary Liniker" Well as long as Gary doesnt shit himself during that sleep
Sort of reminds me of those sketches in Morcombe and Wise in bed together.
Some of the do's and don'ts of crowd control
Do you think this us where Mitchell and Webb got their idea for out door wee from as it's very similar
Jalian Walla bagh masacare was done by a certain similar gentleman
I would so watch this if it were a real show.
Never would have thought of hugh as the little spoon
Fry's sweetness is all T_T
Lol they might've been referencing the Jallianwallah Bag massacre. I'm almost shocked at the subtle dark humour.
I'm a big fan of this show but I've never seen this sketch before. Anyone know what season it's from?
This has got the makings of a Channel 5 show, hasn't it? 😆
@MissInformati0n and i`m enjoying your comment, and the fact that 2 months after your comment, they both have 418 each.
Goodnight 💤
I expected the massacre to have been the result of them singing ‘happy birthday’ to him. 😂
I think this might actually be from Saturday Live (a British Saturday Night Live), and not actually A Bit of Fry and Laurie.
it isn't from ABOFAL
Good night, Peter.
Okay, so, the top two comments are equal once more. WE MUST KEEP THEM THIS WAY.
Just Saturday Live
