It's possible though very unlikely. Liz Truss, Theresa May and Margaret Thatcher didn't go to a posh boarding school but that's cos they're girls and they're not allowed, in the last 50 years we've only had 3 male PMs that weren't toffs packed off to Political Hogwarts- Gordon Brown, John Major and James Callaghan. And of those 3, only John Major was actually elected, Brown and Callaghan both got the jobs from the previous PM quitting and lost the next general election.
This probably would have precluded him from being considered one of 'them', but he got booted because he wouldn't keep his mouth shut about things he thought were morally/professionally wrong. I don't agree with his politics, but he seems like someone who had convictions/principles. I don't think he compromised them at all so he left.
Tennant is the son of the moderator of the Church of Scotland, so he was well connected before getting big roles

Russell T. Davies fits the same mould as Stephen Fry.
Queer as Folk is not-so-subtly his gay fantasy about a rich sociopath knobbing a 15-year-old boy. Of course you can write about horrible characters without endorsing them, but the series glamourises it. Lord knows how it hasn't been "re-evaluated" yet.

Very much more common for gays though. Rife, you might say. It's an accepted part of gay culture, let's not pretend otherwise.
We all knew that one girl at school who was fricking older dudes at 15. It happens, but as a society we have all kinds of taboos and customs and laws to stop it, because we're agreed its a Bad Thing
With gays there is none of that safeguarding. 15 year old boys are much hornier, and the older men know they will 100% be keeping it a secret, and its much easier to hide, because it doesn't ring the alarm bells like a younger girl with an older man would.

Female teacher at my school was fricking underage pupils, when it all came out it was the classic case of "phwoar, wish that was me!"
Even if there's a direct correlation, so what? Men are more violent than women. How do we "address" it? Or can we just keep the law at something like "physical assault carries a sentence of..." and then consider cases of assault when they actually happen?

>Some unknown person
this is wrong, HOWEVER most britbong tv """personalities""" are from a massive, j**-tier inside club
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_former_Footlights_members
most of this is down to the bbc used to hire almost exclusively oxbridge grads. who hired people they knew to appear on tv. take beyond the fringe, monty python.
it really started to change with alt comedy in the 80s, when manchester uni brought in a whole bunch of comedians who helped each other out, ie rik mayall, ben elton etc.
The two camps interacting with each other is really the epitome of british comedy. The Bambi episode of The Young Ones is maybe the best example of it.
David Mitchell, Coleman, Webb, Laurie, Fry, Ayoade, and more aren't aristocratcs or even fully English by ancestry. It's simply a very tight connected friends circle rather than some aristocratic boy's club where they're descended from peers.
All decent actors/comedians, but how many of them are actually writers?
I always took it as a given that Mitchell and Webb wrote That Mitchell and Webb Look, for example. Webb appeared on Richard Herring's podcast and he'd occasionally mention some sketch or another, how they didn't write that one.
one of my favourite things about m&w was thinking, what if (other guy than you would expect) wrote this one. like one about the war you would think wouldnt it be funny if rob wrote that one. or if david wrote one about smoking weed.

Genuinely wonder what David Mitchell is like in real life. He's obviously hamming it up, playing a character, whatever, so I get the impression he's actually the chiller of the duo.
From interviews and his book, Robert Webb actually comes off as a huge arsehole. Really pretentious and neurotic, the kind of bloke you wouldn't want to disagree with because it's more hassle than it's worth.
Brit here, comedy in the UK is very nepotistic. Basically all UK comedians from Fry's time came out of Oxbridge and many of those came out of Footlights which is a Masonic comedy club for highly educated comedians. Many of the Pythons were in Footlights too. In there 80's it got so bad that an entire breakaway comedy scene started to be literally the opposite of the way these snob comedians presented themselves.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_former_Footlights_members
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_comedy
This is why comedy before the 80's in the UK was very articulate, very droll and very based on carefully crafted jokes but then suddenly UK comedy was about being as edgy as possible. They did an entire episode of the Young Ones about Alternative Comedy vs Mainstream comedy and Fry was even in it.
Blackadder was a daring synthesis with footlights types along with alternate comedy with Rik and Ade.
But alternate comedy wasn't a reaction to footlights. Footlights types went straight into tv and theate work rather than the comedy love scene because lol rich. Alternate comedy was a reaction in stand up to old school club comics like Bernard Manning and Jim Davidson
Whenever I post that pic my thread gets deleted. I've started like 5 Stephen Fry threads with that pic and it's always gone in under two hours regardless of what I write in the text
I told my gay friend this and he said it was total bullshit and gays are ass-fricking 90% of the time, and he has sex with like 2 different guys a week.
I told my gay friend this and he said it was total bullshit and gays are ass-fricking 90% of the time, and he has sex with like 2 different guys a week.

I typically support gay rights, etc, but this picture always makes me want to burn the world down. It's just so vile in every aspect, especially the face he's making. I can't even really quantify my rage and disgust.
I'd love to kick Stephen Fry in his ancient cancer-ridden testes. Just take a few steps run up then catch him with the full force of my steel capped toe under his groin, send that heaving bipolar flesh golem of a homosexual pederast staggering backwards through the air.
As he lies on the floor, coughing and wheezing and chocking on his own claret and anti-depressants pill-laced vomit, his scrotum a mangled mess of blood and pulp barely attached to the rest of his groin, I stand over him and laugh wickedly. He looks up at me in fear and pain, his eyes searching, begging me for mercy. He finds none. I raise my boot then stomp down, squashing his balls like overripe, rotting plums and finally ending his pathetic lineage (not that he ever would have successfully passed on his genes, but let's be on the safe side)
This attitude is just the straight guy version of roasties getting butthurt over Leonardo Dicaprio only fricking women in their early 20s. And this lad is like 34 years old by the way. If you really support gay rights then you must admit that what Stephen Fry is doing here is actually based.
no reddit, nobody is jealous of you fricking men. what kind of moronic thought process is that? at least with the incel cope the women are jealous of their competition, no straight man wants to frick stephen fry and is mad they have to compete with some other man. also nobody supports gay rights
I love how you can just tell he's the one drilling into that poor boys anus every night. At least he probably has his own credit card with a huge budget on it. Probably just stays at home and shops and plays video games all day waiting for daddy to get home so he can drill him
He made a documentary where he spoke to different people about homosexuality, don't remember the exact context, but he was talking to an african pastor or priest or something who criticized homosexuals for having buttsex, and Fry stated that a lot of gays don't, including himself

You know those Gandy and Tom Hiddleston edits? Should have versions where the husband is edited to look even younger and doe-like and Fry gets even more fat, red, and haggard. Maybe give his right hand long claw like nails from lack of hygene
>His maternal grandparents, Martin and Rosa Neumann,[13] were Hungarian israelites who emigrated from Šurany (now in Slovakia) to the UK in 1927. '
yep, checks out.
He is so disgusting, an obscene, twisted person with every obvious straightforward sign of malignance, but there is something about English people, they can't - physically can't see past their affection for this kind of tele-man, public figure. Nothing changed with Jimmy Saville because every English person is just like 'yeah, well I guess we did know but... who are we to say, eh, let him have his thing'. Absolute moral/spiritual English flaccidness
I think it's hilarious that he decided to give Vile Bodies a happy ending. Evelyn Waugh got so fed up with the characters as he was writing them he decided to just send them into the fricking Somme but Fry decided they were actually all fine and saved them.
>theres no way it wouldnt have come out already if he was
Just like there was no way Jimmy could've raped kids and fricked corpses for 30 years without anyone noticing. You'll note outside of him, who was dead at the time, the only other people yewtree got where either also dead or has beens at the time.
>what is that? >it's a copy of the quran - it says I can beat your ass, and I can rape the women and children of the unbelievers. The quran also says that all gays should be executed. But it's beautiful poetry made me keep it.
He has talent, he can do some stuff very well (hosting, voiceover work, being a general non-acting lead man) but he's one of those guys who thinks he can do everything. I got his book about the Greek myths for Christmas once and that was totally unreadable.
he did a hilarious documentary when he found out his parents/ ancestors were holocaust victims. he says he now doesn’t think it’s okay to persecute all religious people, just christians. not even joking
he was brilliant in this and some bong sketch show, he is very well spoken and a rarity nowadays, use of the english language we don't see anymore except in theater, which apparently is still a big thing in bongland
He's spent his entire career being the other guy in a room of funnier comedians.
Sometimes he pretends to be clever, and people believe it because he has a posh voice.
why are brits the absolute worst at detecting pedophiles? they only
seem to get outed once they are 100 fricking years old
I swear you see some old homosexual in a feathered cap and pink spandex constantly putting kids on his lap and the typical british response is "OH WOT AN ECCENTRIC CRAZY LAD HE IS"
Remember when Stephen Fry did that stage play and some critique basically said you cannot act you just play yourself and he got all upset and disappeared to France for a few weeks
He's anti SJW and anti political correctness so I quite like him, so long as the 16 year old kid he is buggering consents then there is no issue with it. He looks like he enjoys getting rammed up the butt rather than giving it anyway.
The guys from Monty Python weren't really edgy but they also didn't cuck out. Also weirdly Rowan Atkinson. Maybe there is something about the older generation British comedians who really don't care about political correctness.
I don't understand British TV. Some unknown person appears in a show that runs for like 14 episodes and becomes a multimillionaire household name.
His biggest role is Blackadder and he wasn't even a main character. How did he do it?
a lot of british actors start from theater then crossover to media then return to theater
He and Laurie also had their own show, A Bit of Fry and Laurie that is very good. There's also the series Jeeves and Wooster, again with Laurie,, which is fantastic.
Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie in Jeeves and Wooster remains the best casting I have seen in 50 years of watching kino

Jeeves is implied to be a bit older in the books, but it doesn't really matter, and they both do a great job.
>Aunt calling to aunt like mastodon calling to mastodon

The main guy like that for me is Richard E Grant. What the frick is he a thing for? A feature film exist that's literally his biography, of all people
He's like a tamer version of Philip Seymour Hoffman, in the sense that he'll show up all over the place in domestic UK films and mostly not be THE lead but a big kino enhancer nonetheless. Also, he was one of the leads of one of the biggest UK cult comedy movies ever made.
I love Jack & Sarah with Richard e Grant

Or maybe not, but I think so

Queer as Folk is not-so-subtly his gay fantasy about a rich sociopath knobbing a 15-year-old boy. Of course you can write about horrible characters without endorsing them, but the series glamourises it. Lord knows how it hasn't been "re-evaluated" yet.
yes, Davies is a homosexual and a nonce, but he's a talented writer so he's been let off Lord knows how many times
We aren't ready for the whole 'homosexuals are fricking underage boys' convo. For years that was the goto argument by bigots, mainly because its true. We shall maintain a polite fiction around this matter, lest the horses because unsettled.
God knows if milfs were cruising around trying to frick 14 year old boys, they would succeed.
>Boy arse is absolutely scrumptious, you utterly doltish bigot.
I've been friends with several gays and it's the same story every time
they got involved with older men when they were in high school
There are heterosexual nonces and female nonces.
Maybe we should just make "fricking underage boys" a crime, anon.
Very much more common for gays though. Rife, you might say. It's an accepted part of gay culture, let's not pretend otherwise.
We all knew that one girl at school who was fricking older dudes at 15. It happens, but as a society we have all kinds of taboos and customs and laws to stop it, because we're agreed its a Bad Thing
With gays there is none of that safeguarding. 15 year old boys are much hornier, and the older men know they will 100% be keeping it a secret, and its much easier to hide, because it doesn't ring the alarm bells like a younger girl with an older man would.
Female teacher at my school was fricking underage pupils, when it all came out it was the classic case of "phwoar, wish that was me!"
Even if there's a direct correlation, so what? Men are more violent than women. How do we "address" it? Or can we just keep the law at something like "physical assault carries a sentence of..." and then consider cases of assault when they actually happen?
>if there's a direct correlation
There is, and there is a code of silence about it, because we don't want to upset the straights. Nothing can be dealt with until its faced, and squealing about bigotry every time someone points out the truth about underage boys gets us nowhere
The truth is most people don't really care that much what happens to boys, especially young gay boys.
People wont say it out loud, but they have more or less accepted that it's part of "their culture".
They would some how call you 'homophobic' if you bought it up.
you can tell just looking at eccleston filmography is that his career is that way because he's not a trust fund gay
it can happen though, I know James McAvoy was working class, he became a huge star.

You learn something new every day.
most of this is down to the bbc used to hire almost exclusively oxbridge grads. who hired people they knew to appear on tv. take beyond the fringe, monty python.
it really started to change with alt comedy in the 80s, when manchester uni brought in a whole bunch of comedians who helped each other out, ie rik mayall, ben elton etc.
The two camps interacting with each other is really the epitome of british comedy. The Bambi episode of The Young Ones is maybe the best example of it.
Yeah, it's a good old boys club that's 99% white. But you won't hear a peep from the BBC or anyone about it.
Isn't "his biggest role" host of QI?
Harry Potter audiobooks
Yes, but JFs don't know what that is.
>unknown person
>His biggest role is Blackadder
just stop, you've no idea what you're talking about
He has a tv host personality which they need, plus he is smart seemingly
Nepotism. Literally half of the people in the BBC comedy scene were in the same comedy club at Cambridge.
Extremely based. Aristocratic traditions is why British humor is the best.
David Mitchell, Coleman, Webb, Laurie, Fry, Ayoade, and more aren't aristocratcs or even fully English by ancestry. It's simply a very tight connected friends circle rather than some aristocratic boy's club where they're descended from peers.
All decent actors/comedians, but how many of them are actually writers?
I always took it as a given that Mitchell and Webb wrote That Mitchell and Webb Look, for example. Webb appeared on Richard Herring's podcast and he'd occasionally mention some sketch or another, how they didn't write that one.
Where did Peter Baynham go?
one of my favourite things about m&w was thinking, what if (other guy than you would expect) wrote this one. like one about the war you would think wouldnt it be funny if rob wrote that one. or if david wrote one about smoking weed.
Genuinely wonder what David Mitchell is like in real life. He's obviously hamming it up, playing a character, whatever, so I get the impression he's actually the chiller of the duo.
From interviews and his book, Robert Webb actually comes off as a huge arsehole. Really pretentious and neurotic, the kind of bloke you wouldn't want to disagree with because it's more hassle than it's worth.
Brit here, comedy in the UK is very nepotistic. Basically all UK comedians from Fry's time came out of Oxbridge and many of those came out of Footlights which is a Masonic comedy club for highly educated comedians. Many of the Pythons were in Footlights too. In there 80's it got so bad that an entire breakaway comedy scene started to be literally the opposite of the way these snob comedians presented themselves.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_former_Footlights_members
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_comedy
This is why comedy before the 80's in the UK was very articulate, very droll and very based on carefully crafted jokes but then suddenly UK comedy was about being as edgy as possible. They did an entire episode of the Young Ones about Alternative Comedy vs Mainstream comedy and Fry was even in it.
Where does Rowan Atkinson and Black Adder fall into?
Rowan Atkinson is technically an alternative comedian even though he went to Oxbridge, he's more of a wildcard.
Blackadder was a daring synthesis with footlights types along with alternate comedy with Rik and Ade.
But alternate comedy wasn't a reaction to footlights. Footlights types went straight into tv and theate work rather than the comedy love scene because lol rich. Alternate comedy was a reaction in stand up to old school club comics like Bernard Manning and Jim Davidson
It wasn't a reaction to Footlights, it was a reaction to comedy being kind of stuck up and snobby.
Nah man, it was a reaction to working man clubs mother in law jokes and my mate chalky who's black hahaha
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_former_Footlights_members
that's unexpected
For me, it's steve coogan
how about you post the pic of him with sweaty ass twink
Whenever I post that pic my thread gets deleted. I've started like 5 Stephen Fry threads with that pic and it's always gone in under two hours regardless of what I write in the text
which one?
I read the kids face in this picture as.. "Oh frick, did I actually marry an old man, I hope my mates at school don't see this picture".
i always read it as "YOU TOLD ME THERE WOULDN'T BE ANYONE TAKING PICTURES"
imagine the sex, absolutely vile
They'd be into frotting and thighing like the gay 19th century poets were, rather than bum fun
most gays don't
have anal sex according to Fry
I told my gay friend this and he said it was total bullshit and gays are ass-fricking 90% of the time, and he has sex with like 2 different guys a week.
I have a hard time believing you have friends
I knew a gay guy who would have sex with a different guy every two days.
He's dead now, turned out it was bad meth.
Kek.
?t=275
He just said most anal sex is happening between straights, which is probably true due to there being way more straights than gays
that is true and also degenerate, but it doesn't make sodomy excusable
>When did you first have homosexuality intercourse?
>I've never had it
>In your life?
>never, most gays don't
Our little Ugandan friend has caught the pervert homosexual in a clear and bold on-camera lie. To contemplate that Stephen Fry has never fricked a mans ass before, kek.
>YOU'RE LYIN TO ME STAYVUN
You'd think if that were true he'd marry a fellow intellectual around his age, not a hot young twink he has nothing in common with
gays still want arm candy it seems.
I'd bet he doesn't even frick or have a relationship with this lad. He just offers to pay for school or something in return for going to shit with him.
but does stephen fry seem like the kind of person to want a designer handbag?
I always pegged him as the asexual type that probably engages in human sacrifice
>I always pegged him
Yeah I'm sure you'd love that.
If there was every a homosexual I believe that said he doesn't engage in buttsex it would be Fry. He just seems more trust worthy than the other gays.
I believe that Yukio Mishima never did sodomy, even though he had strange relationships with young men
Mishima's wife insisted that he was not gay, and that's entirely believable
Mishima was almost certainly not gay, just fascinated by the male form and willing to consider the possibility that he was homosexual.
Mishima romanticised everything to do with samurai and masculinity, and I'm willing to bet he was just curious about why the samurai would have strange relationships with young men
I got buttfricked within an hour of opening a grindr account.
I have a friend who's bi and aside from Fry he is the only person I've heard of that said "I like guys but buttholes are gross"
I think the fact that there was a "bottom menu" advert for pride month is proof it's pretty rare though
I typically support gay rights, etc, but this picture always makes me want to burn the world down. It's just so vile in every aspect, especially the face he's making. I can't even really quantify my rage and disgust.
lol, they are two consenting adults
it's no different from johnny deep or harvey weinstein dating girls 1/3 their age
I'd love to kick Stephen Fry in his ancient cancer-ridden testes. Just take a few steps run up then catch him with the full force of my steel capped toe under his groin, send that heaving bipolar flesh golem of a homosexual pederast staggering backwards through the air.
As he lies on the floor, coughing and wheezing and chocking on his own claret and anti-depressants pill-laced vomit, his scrotum a mangled mess of blood and pulp barely attached to the rest of his groin, I stand over him and laugh wickedly. He looks up at me in fear and pain, his eyes searching, begging me for mercy. He finds none. I raise my boot then stomp down, squashing his balls like overripe, rotting plums and finally ending his pathetic lineage (not that he ever would have successfully passed on his genes, but let's be on the safe side)
This attitude is just the straight guy version of roasties getting butthurt over Leonardo Dicaprio only fricking women in their early 20s. And this lad is like 34 years old by the way. If you really support gay rights then you must admit that what Stephen Fry is doing here is actually based.
no reddit, nobody is jealous of you fricking men. what kind of moronic thought process is that? at least with the incel cope the women are jealous of their competition, no straight man wants to frick stephen fry and is mad they have to compete with some other man. also nobody supports gay rights
I love how you can just tell he's the one drilling into that poor boys anus every night. At least he probably has his own credit card with a huge budget on it. Probably just stays at home and shops and plays video games all day waiting for daddy to get home so he can drill him
Fry has stated on TV once that he doesn't do anal sex
Why? Is he gay?
He made a documentary where he spoke to different people about homosexuality, don't remember the exact context, but he was talking to an african pastor or priest or something who criticized homosexuals for having buttsex, and Fry stated that a lot of gays don't, including himself
Does he just like a suconalarjerry instead?
Imagine all the stuff you can do with two dicks, four hands and two mouths
>Imagine
no thanks
frotting?
Frotting is honestly the best. It takes all the 'politics' out of the bed, and no one has to spend time on the toilet afterwards.
>a lot of gays don't
Wait so am I gay? I don’t ever want to have a dick in my ass or put mine in one but I wouldn’t mind trying once giving head to a hung (black) guy but again the thought of sex with a guy is a major turn off
I forgot to mention at the end of my post but I am transgender (mtf) btw
i love how he's still considered a fricking sweetheart to people even though we all know he porks that poor kids butthole everynight
That guy on the left played the cripple in the Inbetweeners
>this is the 30yo twink I've been telling you about
what does elliot spencer have at breakfast every morning
a fry up
does he get the eggs from a
step hen
lol good one mate. nice one.
lol. that solid i mean i think it could polish but its solid
>GOOOOOOOOOOOD EVENING GOOD EVENING GOOD EVENING GOOD EVENING GOOD EVENING
You know those Gandy and Tom Hiddleston edits? Should have versions where the husband is edited to look even younger and doe-like and Fry gets even more fat, red, and haggard. Maybe give his right hand long claw like nails from lack of hygene
Truly a match made in heaven
Sweet Jesus.
It's not a sweaty ass twink, it's his wife
>Actual talent or just a nonce?
Are the two mutually exclusive?
I miss him hosting QI, that's about it.
He's actually a decent author.
a pedo that got away with murder, no wonder why this board likes him
>His maternal grandparents, Martin and Rosa Neumann,[13] were Hungarian israelites who emigrated from Šurany (now in Slovakia) to the UK in 1927. '
yep, checks out.
It's spooky how him and Myriam Margolyes have the same creepy aura around them.
Them and all other israelites.
Jeeves and Wooster was decent
Yeah it’s decent Brit background kino
He isn't funny without a script, unlike literally every other person in Blackadder.
He invented adult comedy, show some respect
"No"
That title belongs to Peter Cook.
>gay british atheist
Who cares
and a israelite
Probably based on his own induction into bri'ish schooling.
Yes
I like his narration for Hitchhiker's Guide
But he's a pedo hom-ack!
Good writer, funny guy and decent actor. I like him a lot.
>Good writer
I've read his trilogy of books about the mythology of ancient Greece. They were succinct and humorous
he writes pop shit for midwits
He is so disgusting, an obscene, twisted person with every obvious straightforward sign of malignance, but there is something about English people, they can't - physically can't see past their affection for this kind of tele-man, public figure. Nothing changed with Jimmy Saville because every English person is just like 'yeah, well I guess we did know but... who are we to say, eh, let him have his thing'. Absolute moral/spiritual English flaccidness
They're the people of Oscar Wilde, are you really so surprised?
talented nonce
he sold his soul for success and will pay the price eventually
high IQ nonce
Baal's favorite minion
One of the tribe
all homosexuals are pedophiles, nonces as the brits say
therefore, all homosexuals deserve the rope
>Actual talent
You should see him work a bussy, poetry in motion tbh
He stuck up for Saville
I really liked this overlooked show. Fry was great in it.
was he or was he just his 'fiddle-twiddle, indubitably,' self and you love that because you're the dumb person who's idea of a smart person that is
Not about dumb or smart. It's just an entertaining show.
i too saw that /misc/ screencap my fellow intellectual
wibbly/10
The acting and writing is garbage, but I like it
Masterpiece.
>its a livin
>scrumptious boy arse
kek i didn't realise it was ass pics he sent? fricking hell
Damn impressive, he must have been a good man
The greatest man who ever lived
Always been a Rowan Atkinson Man myself
I think it's hilarious that he decided to give Vile Bodies a happy ending. Evelyn Waugh got so fed up with the characters as he was writing them he decided to just send them into the fricking Somme but Fry decided they were actually all fine and saved them.
damn, this thread makes me wish Hitler won
or that Putin actually sinks the UK under a radioactive tsunami
theres no way it wouldnt have come out already if he was, its been too long since yewtree and metoo
>theres no way it wouldnt have come out already if he was
Just like there was no way Jimmy could've raped kids and fricked corpses for 30 years without anyone noticing. You'll note outside of him, who was dead at the time, the only other people yewtree got where either also dead or has beens at the time.
The uber pseud lord
An example of what a stupid person thinks a smart person is like.
>what is that?
>it's a copy of the quran - it says I can beat your ass, and I can rape the women and children of the unbelievers. The quran also says that all gays should be executed. But it's beautiful poetry made me keep it.
what did the Frygay mean?
He has talent for sure, and the noncery is debatable
Mods and jannies though, they have no talents, and they are nonces without question.
He has talent, he can do some stuff very well (hosting, voiceover work, being a general non-acting lead man) but he's one of those guys who thinks he can do everything. I got his book about the Greek myths for Christmas once and that was totally unreadable.
>talent
>brit-tish
Choose 1
he did a hilarious documentary when he found out his parents/ ancestors were holocaust victims. he says he now doesn’t think it’s okay to persecute all religious people, just christians. not even joking
his twink is over 18
he was brilliant in this and some bong sketch show, he is very well spoken and a rarity nowadays, use of the english language we don't see anymore except in theater, which apparently is still a big thing in bongland
His sketch show Fry and Laurie was good
Otherwise …meh
He's spent his entire career being the other guy in a room of funnier comedians.
Sometimes he pretends to be clever, and people believe it because he has a posh voice.
Contemplate the amount of sex crimes this man has committed against children.
Boggles the mind.
This thread is for Doctorate holders only. No Plebeians allowed
Is it all terminally unemployed or just doctorate holders only?
Laurie is pretty clearly the talent of the two and Fry just lives off his perceived poshness without the actual posh.
why are brits the absolute worst at detecting pedophiles? they only
seem to get outed once they are 100 fricking years old
I swear you see some old homosexual in a feathered cap and pink spandex constantly putting kids on his lap and the typical british response is "OH WOT AN ECCENTRIC CRAZY LAD HE IS"
>paedophilia is now when an adult man has sex with another, younger adult man
something something Brass Eye.
Is there such a thing as a talented nonce?
Remember when Stephen Fry did that stage play and some critique basically said you cannot act you just play yourself and he got all upset and disappeared to France for a few weeks

'Acropolis were the Parthenon is' is God-tier when it comes to stuff that will always make you laugh
>Too many wieners spoil the broth
what did he mean by this?
He's anti SJW and anti political correctness so I quite like him, so long as the 16 year old kid he is buggering consents then there is no issue with it. He looks like he enjoys getting rammed up the butt rather than giving it anyway.
Are him and Ricky Gervais the only "edgy" comedians who didn't cuck out?
The guys from Monty Python weren't really edgy but they also didn't cuck out. Also weirdly Rowan Atkinson. Maybe there is something about the older generation British comedians who really don't care about political correctness.
He is 100% a nonce
Evey British celebrity looks inbred and is probably a pedo.

Everyone in the UK hates this creepy, "cue card intelligent" twat.
