I like Stephen Fry.

[MaltonNecromancer]

I was talking to a bunch of teenagers the other day, and it turned out that none of them had the fainest idea who Stephen Fry was, aside from a vague notion that he was on BBC 2. This will not do. I know a lot of people don't rate him (and that's cool), but he's one of my personal heroes, and having discovered a few excellent clips, I thought I would share them here.

I also share what is, for me, still his funniest clip (warning, contains very mild swearing - use of the synonym for "donkey")

[Mr Mystery]

Well. I say everyone.

Not the far right of course. They don't tend to like erudite, successful representatives of things they inexplicable hate and fear!

[Verilance]

to quote Prince Charles...

Stephen Fry is "a jolly good egg."

I have been watching QI on youtube and I really wish it was televised in Canada well worth it

[lattd]

Why isn't he a sir yet... hes a national treasure!

Are you referring to his Official Theme Song?

What's wrong with the youth of today? well I suppose it's not big brother or z-factor, but yes surely he's a national institution.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Stephen Fry is an absolute legend, one of the funniest people I have ever met. That's right boys and girls, I've met Mr Fry.

[Wolfshade]

Does that give you a fry number of 1?
Then people who have met you have a fry number of 2, people who meet them are 3 etc. with Stephen Fry himself being 0

Interesting idea....

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Yep. And if I meet someone else who has met Stephen Fry then it's Stephen Fry 1 (squared).

[Wolfshade]

Sigh, this is all becoming a fry up

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

*smacks Wolf on the nose* No! Bad Wolf, bad!

[Wolfshade]

:( I'm not sure I like being disciplined by Tizzy

[Psychosplodge]

It's like dividing by zero...

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

:( I'm not sure I like being disciplined by Tizzy

D'awwwwhhh!!! I'm sorry dude! :(
*hug*

[Wolfshade]

*hug*

That's possibly worse

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Not hug?

[Wolfshade]

Not hug?

Better

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

But yeah, Stephen was a really funny and down to earth chap. I was quite awestruck.

[SotonShades]

Always found him hillarious. And then he helped save one of my favourite pubs! Long live the Hobbit and Long live the undesputed King of QI! Just wish I had more time to read a few more of his books.

[Wolfshade]

Do you think people ever call him Steve or stevie or Ste

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I should've asked him that.

[Wolfshade]

I should've asked him that.

I don't think he'd appreciate it, he is certainly a Stephen

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Definitely! I said "Mr Fry", and he quickly corrected me to just call him Stephen.

[Wolfshade]

:)
I like that modesty, it has always struck me that he seems uncomfortable with being a "celebratory"

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I got that from him too, he's not a massively formal man.

[Wolfshade]

I love his use of language aswell. I might not agree with everything he says but in the debates on radio he seems to genuinely listen to the opponets views and responses eloquantly

[eldargal]

I love Mr Fry also, but to me he will always be Melchett. I still wish those rumours of him being the next Doctor Who were true.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Better than Matt Smith...

[Wolfshade]

It would have been interesting to see what would have happened if he had run for Mayor

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

"Stephen Fry's pretty fly for a white guy!" - and now I want to do a re-write of a joke song. :D
