Best part is when Hugh Laurie is making faces at him behind the scene... Fry's reaction is priceless

Hugh Laurie in Black Adder 3 was great! I think this is from A Bit of Fry And Laurie...

When did 'shorty' morph into 'shawty' ?


It didn't Ellen and crew just didn't know.

She needs to connect a little more with the hood unlike Martha Stewart making mashed potatoes with Snoop Dogg.

If you define ba-donk-a-dunk you must say "Ba-don-a-dunk?? You know? Junk in the trunk!!".

Other than Ellen's sexual orientation, why does this need to be on the gay channel? The subject is not gay related. If the interview was by Oprah, would it be placed in the black channel?

Do you really think Ellen would mind being put in - amongst others - the gay channel? Course she wouldn't, it would be no different than tagging her with femme


That, plus the awesome Simpsons gag when they're in Hollywood, and they say, "look, there's Ellen and Anne Hesche"

You see them sitting on a porch swing, cheerfully calling out, "we're lesbians!"

How is this Britsh? Cause Hugh Laurie is? He's playing an American in an American tv show.

It's a known fact to persons who know how to speak english well and emulate USA's accent, which is very easy yes, that US citizens try to deepen their voice tone as much as possible by crackling the syllabs with the throat instead of actually talking. Even USA women do this. Although Hollywood stars (which are the face of USA for a big part of the world) don't do this for they've had speech coaches for sure. Except Owen Wilson, so check his voice as an example.

In every language there's always a lame way of turning a perfectly normal accent into a ridiculous sound. Crackling is US' thing. So when Hugh Laurie speaks with the british accent, his voice seems to change in tone and "shape".

About Laurie and O'brien not clicking, I think that's what happens when a comedian who is an inteligent person out of character (Laurie) meets an intelligent person that yerns to be out of character (O'brien) whenever before someone with whom he identifies himself with and admires.

>> ^thain:
I'm American, and I've never heard of Flossing. I've at least heard all the slang terms Hugh used, even though I couldn't define them.
She very obviously wanted him to miss the last one, though. Otherwise she would have actually pronounced it like a real word. When she misunderstood "chuffed," he repeated it with a stronger emphasis on the "CH." She kept saying "show-dy" (except faster than that phonetization implies), which might be how rappers pronounce it, but is nothing like the actual word.


this is serious business

Jamie Bamber (Apollo, Battlestar Galactica) is remarkably British too. Obviously American accents are easy, because whenever an American feigns a British accent, it sounds absurd.

James Marsters excepted of course.

JAMES MARSTERS ISN'T BRITISH?!


Nope, the gentleman who portrays Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, aka William The Bloody, was born, grew up, and still lives in CALLY-FORN-EE-AH.

Giles (Anthony Michael Head) -who is very British- was his voice coach, from what I understand. Even members of the crew didn't know he was a Northern Cali boy.
