Jeeves & Wooster 'Puttin' on the Ritz

Wait... is this actually Hugh Laurie playing/singing 🤔

But it's not 5/4 time. A rare faux-pas by Jeeves there.

I wish they'd written a full song for "Putting on the Regency"

Hugh Laurie looks like a skinny Herman Munster 😅

"With due expediency...putting on the regency!" 🎶 Oh my goodness, this show is GOLDEN. 🤣

It started with the original, then went to the 40’s rewrite. Then, they added regency.

I love how Irving Berlin completely foxes Bertie

Fry and Laurie were Jeeves and Wooster before they were Jeeves and Wooster.

It's as if Wodehouse had Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry specifically in mind when he wrote these stories; they're so perfect for the roles.

"Very true."

Oh, Sie sind also Pariser. Es ist mit so einem spanischen Akzent

Per primo, questa canzone l' ha cantata e ballata Clark Gable! In a movie°•

Have any grey poupon? Put some on a Ritz!

I think Jeeves is wrong about the 5s. I think it's 3-4-3-4-2

I thought the guy playing the piano was a young Dr House!

I never saw Hugh prior to House. Zero humor in that character, but most early work I've seen was comedy. Was his pre-House work mostly comedy?

He is so awesome

Whenever I hear this song I'm reminded of the Young Frankenstein movie, in which Gene Wilder and Peter Boyle perform the song on stage as Frederick Frankenstein and the Monster.

Rizz House

alll wrong. jeeves was the uncle bertie never had. bertie rarely speeaks of his father and never of his mother. jeeves is at least 15 years older than bertie.

Hugh Laurie is a very capable pianist. Before they made Jeeves and Wooster, Fry and Laurie had a very funny sketch show, and did stand up together. I reccommend Hugh playing a song called "Mystery".

I typed “Dr house putting on the ritz” 🤣

It's not in 5/4 tho....

It's syncopated, but it's not 5/4. Still a brilliant clip though!

I see this clip and think 'yawn.' Then I play it. It NEVER fails to spark a smile😁😁😁

Fantastic team.

Would have liked to watch all of it.

I have loved Masterpiece Theater back in the 1990's. I believe that Wooster was trying to do an 1982 hit song from Taco.😆

Fry also can play a piano but won't because he's not very good and can't sing.

the best comedians are also musicians or musical background. it just goes hand in hand. if you dont have it in you, you are not gonna make it. it just doesnt work

How many time had this serie?

Sorry Charmi sweetheart tell me could play cheaps in she's like so well dressed but we have changed your mind is know I am not playing but yes

It's amazing how fit they both are for their roles. It's as if Wodehouse had them particularly in mind. Fry is Jeeves and Laurie is Wooster. 😄

I discovered Jeeves and Wooster in the summer of 1966 while spending a week with my friend and her family at the beach. I bought several paperbacks at a local drugstore. Awesome.

Soneone tell my why, in British show, is the setting NYC?

Hugh i will always love you and your amazing talent

David McCallum (Ducky Mallard on "NCIS") is also a brilliant musician!

Помню по «Культуре» в далеком детстве крутили этот сериал, и заставка вместе с этим эпизодом осталась в памяти.

Just think Hugh Laurie is A Dr. Strange of another dimension

l ichaat thé false stories lf being who had a past of volontaire sex in the street from 2000 to 2005 transformés ho did thé vidéo (draws ..) as if a sex worker ...thereality and thé street showed that ni volontaire sex workers but the director of thé Inception (thé movie if Sonia gabroune her geeat mother is a made that was put out thé métro Goldwing Meyer at thé first half ofthe xxcentury ...thé sex working IS for Sonia gabroune (libido as she was a so libidinal cloni of thé libidinal girl Sonia gabroune gabrani that was killed because of thé sale reasons ...)

This show is so good, Laurie and Fry are brilliant together.

What Dr house doing here

It's in 4/4

This really brilliantly demonstrates the genius of Irving Berlin.

The irony in this scene is that Stephen Fry is absolutely the least musically capable person in the world. He's got less rhythm than Carlton from The Fresh Prince...

why did it take nearly 58 seconds to get into the actual video? the first part was a huge waste of time.

It’s just so frightfully British, innit?

❤

He ciukd be wiltin',
Puttin' on the Hiltin?

I so need to get this series on DVD! I remember enjoying this pair immensely when the show was on PBS, well before US companies snapped up Laurie for "House." Buuut, I can see myself binge-watching instead of working on my creative projects. And even I can imagine Fry as Jeeves giving me a gentle reminder to not have "quite so much screen time." He'd be right, too. 😅

Just brilliant, in every possible way 👏👏
