A Bit Of Fry And Laurie Friday: Her Lesbotic Tendencies Are A Matter Of Public Record

Oh man, it was between this sketch and the super-great “Homosexual” one, but this one had the edge for giving us the phrase “voracious lesbite.”

Phrases for the ages:

“I wonder, Ms. Talliot, whether or not you were aware that the American novelist Gertrude Stein was a self-confessed lesbian.”

“During the course of your duties as a woman”

“openly lesbicious”

“houses in which it is statistically probably that acts of lesboid love have been committed”

“a monstrous bull-dyke of your standing”

“Is it not a fact, Miss Toilet, that the words ‘parish council’ are an infamous anagram of the words ‘lispian crouch’?”

    Why did Stephen Fry marry that handsome twentysomething and not Hugh Laurie. Why.

    “I absolutely adore your lordship.” It has the ring of truth!

      He did it solely to prove to the people around me that age discrepancies are nothing to worry about.

      Right? It was for my benefit? Right? *crickets*

        It WAS. Because they aren’t! As long as everyone is of legal age and not dating their dad, anyway. 😉 You’re good!

    In Fry and Laurie Reunited, he says that he's always been relieved that he never had feelings for Hugh Laurie because it would have ruined everything. (Rabid fangirl alert: I was raised on Jeeves and Wooster.)

    Jeeves and Wooster are the absolute best and rabid fangirling is the correct life choice. I'm almost constantly rereading one or another of books. So satisfying! Wodehouse just hit the mark perfectly with that series. And Fry and Laurie did a wonderful job bringing them to life!
