ABOFAL Lecture about Romeo&Juliet
A sketch from "A bit of Fry and Laurie", where Hugh Laurie plays a teacher who is being inspected (or so it seems) by someone of authority (Stephen Fry) and ends up delivering the whole "interaction" with the audience by himself.
One of my favorites :):)

A very nice sketch from "A bit of Fry and Laurie". You might not think it particulary funny as ABOFAL sketches go, but on the other hand - you might.. If you've ever had the misfortune of talking to real-life real estate agents... :):)

This one's killing me! Every time I watch it - especially after reading current news.. Does anything change in politics at all?
Well, here we are for Election 2024.
Wouldn’t it be amusing to see the Left wing equivalent of this?
Featuring a young Corbyn?
Hugh Laurie went to Eton so he probably spent a lot of his time alongside people like this!
God! It’s Rees-Mogg.
Nice revenge ending lol.
Just one of my favourite sketches of all time. Perfect. So good. Important to rewatch every few months.
The number of times I've seen, and laughed at, this sketch, I've never noticed the line "...and the endless variations in J Major." Brilliant!
Wow another unexpectedly dark ending!
Estate agents- if you try to talk to them, you vomit.
We don't have "Real" Estate over here. Basically, here in England where English was invented, our Estate Agents are also free to even sell fake estate too, like a cardboard home, and if you don't use a surveyor to find out, it's your fault, innit?
If you haven't seen the clip of a young JRM being interviewed in the back of a chauffeured car you must. The little shit even wears a monicle.
Who's JRM?
@@letolethe3344 Jacob Rees Mogg, the arrogant little shit of a conservative MP who also works for the fake news channel GB News
Honestly, this caracature is more reasonable than Rishi Sunak and Kier Starmer combined. (Not a high bar).
"Human bigotry and libertarian nonsense." killing me lol
She has an absolutely incredible "natural disaster charity video" voice. Perfectly cast!
That trendy liberal education!
That took a dark turn!
So, the UK was a good decade, if not two, ahead of US in culture wars & right wing lunacy. One of the values of history is seeing how seemingly new social pathologies always turn out to have deep precedents & the far right has always been full of it in pretty much the same way they are now.
This is remarkably similar to the BBC Radio show "Saturday Night Fry" which also featured Stephen's fantastically dry humor.
If only Sunak was half as coherent and on point with his replys to any questions as to why he does f all in the face of several crisis situations he helped cause.
Fry is so good in this it makes me really angry. Imagine being stuck with a twat like that
The BBC will never air a comedy sketch like this today.
I am always amazed when people ask my daxy questions, 'What's your name?' being the most common.The second most popular thing is 'Have you got your ball?', when he clearly has it in his mouth. Bizarrely, at the recent local election, a person on their way out stopped and said to him, 'You're not going to vote for that nasty Tory are you?', to which I said that if he does, I'm walking home alone.
And nowadays Tories don't disappoint and sing exactly the same tune... how wonderful! 😂
Truly prophetic...and here we are in 2023.
And 2024.........😂😢
Nothing has changed.
I Wonder how they think of it these days….
Ouch!😄
Completely indistinguishable from today’s unreconstructed tosh! Plus ça change.
NatCon Conference 2023
J Major was a superb sneak of a pun.
Nothing has changed since LOL.
Everything he said is bang on. Its correct that Libertarianism is nonsense. We need hard line Conservativism. Anti-drugs. Anti-sex work.
I agree. All conservatives should be denied any kind of drugs for any reason, including anesthetic for operations, and all conservatives should be denied any kind of sexual activity whatsoever involving another human being.
1:15 - "reading human bigotry and libertarian nonsense" - must have been the same course Tucker Carlson, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, and the majority of other past and present Fox News actors ... sorry anchors studied.
donald trump must have watched this, and taken notes, bigly.
It should be a big C, since it's supposed to be about the party - If only the tories were actually like that 😂
The song is Jupiter from Gustav Holst's The Planets
This is one of my favorites. So funny! 😂
So, conservatives actually like drag performances.
Yes, have you not seen Ann Widdecombe?
1:39 Good lord! the resemblance to ben shapiro's voice caught me off guard.
It took me 10+ years to realize that Clover speaks in a man's voice at the end, yet Stephen's character calls him a "she" earlier (in the "smack fairy" sentence). Not sure what to make of that ^_^
Sex vs. Gender.^^
I'd vote for him.
We have in our small town an approx. 0.5 cm thick info newspaper containing actually only Blahblah. The distributor stuffs about 5 cm of leaflet material. The mailbox is so full of it that business mail no longer fits in or gets lost in it. In bad weather, all the crap falls into the garden and spreads over a large area. My 15x15 cm "no advertising - no free newspapers!" sign on the mailbox is just as useless as 2,735 emails and 327 phone calls to the distributor. The last time I threatened to come by and dump my entire 60x60x150 cm paper garbage can on the boss's desk. It all fails because the delivery people can't or won't read. Nobody in our house reads the crap. Everything goes straight into the paper garbage can. The newspaper contains reports about environmental protection, saving paper, a clean environment, and so on. I have decided to suppress the topic. But the idea with the rifle makes me think again.
Why only 5 comments 🤔
Never seen this before, brilliant! So many quotable remarks in there....
And now it's liberal and an absolute mess. Wish we could get back to those standards that were being spoofed. Don't know the good times until you're society is garbage
Its YOUR SOCIETY. YOUR as in the possesive of YOU. Is it too much to ask to get basic English grammar correct, you utter potato?
This is why this man transformed into a misanthropic, sarcastic bastard
In some of these sketches, I feel that Fry and Laurie are sometimes improvising and trying to trip each other.
Haha it is hard to tell isn't it?!
I have to call my estate agent tomorrow... just trying to gather enough strength.
I vow to thee, my country... Such a beautiful hymn
You should see the song played in "The Day Today" parody and Penny Mordaunt's PM campaign video as well 😆
Who knew that they got Alan Davis as the conductor. Seriously that wig Steven wears cracks me up.
Haha it's fantastic how he can play "susan" and the conductor - while appearing to be 2 totally different characters. Same for Hugh Lawrie!
