I stumbled on this gif the other day and am pretty sure it’s Hugh Laurie. I’m just not 100%. I also can’t place what show/movie it’s from either. Anybody know?
Well, I’d say it’s him, but I can’t place it.
From ‘A Bit of Fry and Laurie’, a sketch show he did ages ago. Here’s a bigger clip.
Wonderful! Thank you very much Mr. K!
Since I got beaten to it, I’ll just add that that’s one of the best, and most overlooked, sketch comedy shows of all time.
While we’re all here. How about Hugh Laurie as Annie Lenox’s counterpart in the video for Walking On Broken Glass. Ever notice that?
Word. If you have a region-free DVD player, you can order at least the first two seasons from amazon.co.uk. My PBS affiliate showed in the in the early 90s.
My favorite sketch is probably the Michael Jackson interview, featuring Stephen Fry on a treadmill doing some body popping. Brilliant!
Also: “Welcome to the harsh realities of the marketplace, Mr. Casalingua!”
The DVDs are available in the US. I have them downstairs.
My favourite is Stephen as the reluctant barber.

One of my favorite sketches is from Episode #2: A conversation about language.
I also love the Dinner with Digby sketch.
I didn’t care much for season 4 of F&L, but seasons 2 and 3 were really good.
Funny stuff.
God I love that series
Oh and for anyone who thought Laurie was always good at US accents: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6riY-103vbc
Well, that’s a different accent, one that a lot of Americans have a real problem with, as well.
The accent doesn’t sound bad. He kind of looks like Johnny Knoxville in that clip.
Good stuff! Thanks. They’re great together in the Jeeves and Wooster series, too (my all-time favorite scene: Jeeves explains the syncopation of “Puttin’ on the Ritz” to his befuddled master).
Here you go. I’m fond of the Minnie the Moocher bit. “Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho, sir.”
