http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8ko2nCk_hE&fea ... - Tyrghast, on 05/16/2009, -0/+165Old Hugh Laurie looks better than young Hugh Laurie
- joeboy70, on 05/15/2009, -3/+167excellent. one of the most underrated sketch shows imo
- KyloOb, on 05/16/2009, -2/+158I think being English helped that a lot.
- KrazyGamerHead, on 05/16/2009, -7/+117There's something about British humor that just makes it better than most any other humor out there.
<3 A Bit of Fry and Laurie and Monty Python's Flying Circus - bonk2k, on 05/16/2009, -0/+79Every time I learn of a fantastic British comedy show that I've never heard about, my life gets that much better.
- DephexTwin, on 05/16/2009, -7/+83He doesn't eliminate his accent, he takes on an American accent.
- khaosx2030, on 05/16/2009, -1/+77no idea*
- khaosx2030, on 05/16/2009, -11/+85I had know idea this sketch show existed. I'll definitely be looking it up.
- funklor, on 05/16/2009, -4/+70Wow. I never put it together that George (Blackadder) was House.
- black27696, on 05/16/2009, -0/+56You'd be surprised. I will say it's always weird to hear him speak in his native voice because it's one of the best American accents ever as far as I'm concerned.
- inactive, on 05/16/2009, -0/+51They ought to. And stop calling me Shirley.
- Lonewolfx77, on 05/16/2009, -0/+50This is quite possibly one of my favorite sketches of all time. This show was simply fantastic.
- Evari, on 05/16/2009, -0/+50Oh come on everyone knows that hes English by now, surely?
- twiztidsinz, on 05/16/2009, -0/+48Why?
I'm not disagreeing with you... I just fail to see how a change of accent would make the show any better. - FireandFlame, on 05/16/2009, -0/+45that made my day, thank you sir.
- BugBBQ, on 05/16/2009, -3/+44Don't try that in Canada... or they'll taser you for the postal code.
- pukiman, on 05/16/2009, -1/+40I no what you mean.
- inactive, on 05/16/2009, -0/+38"Doesn't do it too badly"?
I didn't know that he was British the first time I saw House, and was stunned to find out otherwise. - fishbeef33, on 05/16/2009, -1/+38Wrong. It's NEVER lupus.
- purseonality, on 05/16/2009, -0/+36I agree. I wouldn't have given him a second look when he was younger but he could bend me over a banister anytime now.
- kildurin, on 05/16/2009, -0/+35I love him as the prince in Black Adder. In fact, I just love Black Adder
- twiztidsinz, on 05/16/2009, -2/+36@mickstephenson: Simon Cowell, exactly why House should NOT be British or have an English accent.
- remma, on 05/16/2009, -3/+37no ikea*
- stubear, on 05/16/2009, -6/+39I first saw Hugh Laurie as Dr. House then later on a late night talk show. I had no idea he was british until then and it's uncanny how well he eliminates his accent in this role.
- im2emo4myshrt, on 05/16/2009, -2/+33If Hugh Laurie isn't the second coming of Christ, I don't know who is.
- snurfle, on 05/16/2009, -1/+32Nokia
- mickstephenson, on 05/16/2009, -2/+30@twiztidsinz: Simon Cowell, Gordon Ramsey and Anne Robinson have promoted the image of mean, no nonsense, straight talking Brits. He probably just thinks house should stick with that format, it's a popular image in the US it seems.
- abadonn, on 05/16/2009, -0/+27My personal favorite:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwbB6B0cQs4 - number11, on 05/16/2009, -0/+27yeah they did make a good double act, Hopefully Hugh will come home or make an appearance on QI sometime in the future
- saucy05, on 05/16/2009, -0/+27I find Blackadder more accessible and funny than Monty Python.
Blackadder: "Baldrick, what are you doing out there?"
Baldrick: "I'm carving something on a bullet, sir."
Blackadder: "What are you craving?
Baldrick: "I'm carving 'Baldrick', sir."
Blackadder: "Why?"
Baldrick: "You know how they say that somewhere there's a bullet with your name on it?"
Blackadder: "Yes?"
Baldrick: " Well I thought that if I owned the bullet with my name on it, I'll never get hit by it. Cause I'll never shoot myself..."
Blackadder: "Oh, shame!"
. - brianpeiris, on 05/16/2009, -0/+26I think Hugh was on QI in the first season, only once probably. I want to see Stephen on House!
- dolemite01, on 05/16/2009, -1/+27This is just as funny when I learned that Stuart Little's dad was house.
- Stewdean, on 05/16/2009, -6/+29Then it may come as a surprise to find that Simon Pegg in the new Star Trek movie is not in fact Scottish. There are these dangerous people who can change their voice to sound like they're from somewhere else! Isn't that amazing.
Hugh Laurie is about as British as they come. Just remember you speak our language with a dialect you yanks. - Ndrd, on 05/16/2009, -0/+23Shame that version doesn't have the extra 20 seconds at the end. That's my favourite part:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diSr3n4fvsw - fairy88, on 05/16/2009, -0/+22He was on the piot episode I think, they should a have a Black Adder reunion QI, now that would be awesome
- Ryan_KW, on 05/16/2009, -1/+23It's spelled L-U-P-U-S.
- Stewdean, on 05/16/2009, -0/+21Here's Simon Pegg not speaking English (see post above)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysg_FoWOue8 - PabloIV, on 05/16/2009, -0/+20Got a meeting with my accountant in about an hour. Thanks for making me laugh.
- toxicpiano, on 05/16/2009, -0/+19http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEhDRG-jEwE&fea ...
- guinpen, on 05/16/2009, -0/+18Yeah, it would fit, but if he were just another sarcastic british guy, he wouldn't be set apart nearly as much
- noizeuk, on 05/16/2009, -3/+21We need more of this British intellectual humour. Love watching QI and pretty much anything with Stephen Fry in it.
- amirman, on 05/16/2009, -0/+17these guys are awesome together on jeeves and wooster. i think there's a bunch of episodes of it on youtube.
- Hollowpoint, on 05/16/2009, -13/+29And in doing so eliminates his accent...
- Plonkely, on 05/16/2009, -0/+16It's not "A British accent." Britain is the UK as a whole, which consists of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. Since he is English, he has an English accent, and a rather posh one at that!
- black27696, on 05/16/2009, -3/+19Actually I had no idea.
- sameer768, on 05/16/2009, -0/+16*passage
- MaddieCakes, on 05/16/2009, -0/+15And they accidentally the whole Coca-Cola bottle, too. The WHOLE thing!
- ZeroCubed, on 05/16/2009, -0/+15Actually, that's his natural accent. He has a very good American accent.
- thebigredcat, on 05/16/2009, -0/+15and also Jeeves and Wooster
