Hugh Laurie before he was House

Comments (7)

Er, that's a mediocre sketch from the frequently great Fry and Laurie show. Not even in the top 50% of the songs...

"Mindles H. Dreck"

Oh man, Megan. Now I know what to get you for Christmas. I know every "Bit of Fry and Laurie".

There is also Jeeves & Wooster, where Laurie is the perfect embodiment of Bertie, and the Blackadder series, where he plays a wonderfully befuddled Prince Regent.

Without playing this - America, America, America...The States...

By the way, Stephen Fry, who punches him out at the end of this segment, has a blog.

My favorite bit:

"Mindles H. Dreck"

No video embed - duh.

This is my favorite skit. 2nd - this.

I already have the Jeeves and Wooster, but am exploring the rest of his oeuvre . . .

"Mindles H. Dreck"

As long as we're on British humour, try this:

Darth Vader in the Canteen.

Mindles -

I knew that Hugh Laurie had been in Jeeves and Wooster but had entirely forgotten that he was in Blackadder. Thanks!

His appearance on SNL this season was very, very funny.
