I didn't realize TED Talks had devolved into prop comedy already.

Funny flight briefings are ten a penny on YouTube but this one is probably worth a couple of minutes of your time.

The captain is Phil Shaw, a former Royal Navy pilot, who commanded 360 (RN/RAF) Squadron, an electronic warfare unit.
He was also a display pilot with the Royal Navy Historic Flight.

*explanatory note - the hairy chap with the Russian dolls is explaining the mascot he has brought - all the panellists bring mascots.

I cracked the hell up. I think Elspode might enjoy this one, xoB is the right age cohort, though he might like a different cup of tea... who else.. .who else.. Griff, footfootfoot, possibly. The rest of you will probably only laugh at "Hitler".

Another funny AMV. I thought I might be the only one who likes AMVs and knows about Tom Leher, but, clearly, that's not the case.

That, Sir, besmirches the sacred memory of Tom Lehrer.
Oh, the humanity, think of the Children, the shame, oh the shame.

The great Tom Leher must live on in the minds, and videos, of our children. They have a sense of humor too, god knows there's plenty of material there.

I was torn between putting this in here, or in documentaries - because it is a documentary-ish about a comedy partnership.

I'm in the middle of watching it now, but I paused to post :P

So, if you like Stephen Fry and you like Hugh Laurie, this is fun. To Brits they are known mainly as comedy partners - for Merkins not familiar with pre-House Hugh Laurie, my find this illuminating.

This is not uproarious, though there are some LoL moments - it's a gentle but endearing look at two very talented men, they're place within British comedy and a friendship of 30 years.

This was made a few years ago when Laurie was still Dr House.

It was shown across several nights I think and of course it had ad breaks, so there's a bit of recapping every so often:



I like when they are sitting talking together, they have such a clear bond. The clips of various comedy sketches are funny, and the way comedy was in the process of changing is groovy to watch.
