While sitting in my dingy little office exploring the Internet there's nothing nicer than a cup of coffee and a salmon sandwich to keep me going.
I'd love to share with you a brilliant game of American slang vs
English slang. I do really love Hugh Laurie, he is so fantastic and talented.
Ha ha! Brilliant!! I LOVE Hugh Laurie!! Him and Ellen together are classic. For the record ... I understood all the British slang and not one single one American one!! :)
I love both Hugh and Ellen, although I didn't understand any of the American slang words! Someone just mentioned "Jeeves & Wooster"...I just bought the boxed set! Yes, we talk totally different, or at least our slang words are! One thing we do have in common is we all know what a cuppa is!
I absolutely adore House! I love when there is a marathon on television, I'll watch it for hours. I didn't know Hugh Laurie was British when the show first started. I saw him speaking with his British accent in something else and assumed he was putting it on. He's American accent is brilliant, but I think he's great either way!
I LOVE this clip. I have a total "he could be my dad" crush on Hugh Laurie. He is so talented. He used to be on this British comedy from the 80's called Black Adder. His character in that show was so wild it took me like 6 months into watching House MD to realize he was the same guy on Black Adder.
I'm always baffled by the discrepancies between British and American English. But those discrepancies sure make for a lot of humor. Thanks for sharing that, Betty. It was just hilarious!!!
Being an English Ba-donka-donk shawty I just wanted to say how funny this was. Amazing to hear Hugh's actual accent again as we've become so used to hearing his American accent.

ReplyDeleteOh us Brits are so hilarious xx
ReplyDeleteHugh Laurie is so cool. I don't really like the show House anymore, but he'll always be a favorite of mine. I love revisiting Jeeves and Wooster.
ReplyDeleteI love Hugh Laurie! Thanks, Betty. That was so cool and funny. I really enjoyed it. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteNICE! Thanks for the afternoon Laugh Betty haha :D the only one I knew was Ba-Donka-Donk lol

Yes, we talk totally different, or at least our slang words are!

"England and America are two countries separated by a common language."
ReplyDeleteThat was cute! He's quite clever. As is she!
ReplyDeleteI much prefer his real accent!
ReplyDeleteI knew 'chuffed'! I was so surprised by the amount of different words they used versus us, when we supposedly both speak 'english'.
ReplyDeleteFor instance, never says pants unless you mean 'panties'. That would be 'trousers' ;)
p.s. Never heard Hugh Laurie do his British accent!
I absolutely adore House! I love when there is a marathon on television, I'll watch it for hours. I didn't know Hugh Laurie was British when the show first started.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the clip. It was fun to watch!

Two of the most talented, and most loved performers! Ellen is always good, although I don't like her latest hairstyle.
ReplyDeleteSecretia
HILARIOUS !
ReplyDeleteThat was great. I cannot believe all this time watching House, that I never knew he was putting on an American accent for the show! Ugh!
ReplyDeleteBeing an English Ba-donka-donk shawty I just wanted to say how funny this was. Amazing to hear Hugh's actual accent again as we've become so used to hearing his American accent.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to start off my Friday. Thank you I love a good laugh!
ReplyDeleteHilarious, I absolutely love watching him on House because I absolutely can't stand his oh so mighty attitude..(chuckle)..
ReplyDeleteHmm is he considered a 'chin wag' .. ?..

It just boggles my mind to hear Hugh speak with that accent, and then see him on his show with out the accent. How difficult must that be?
ReplyDeleteCute clip!
