Never been happier to hear that Mister Fry does not consider himself a School.
"i am the science"
Touché
I don't understand sir, isn't he the head master?
But Mister Laurie considers himself a House.
Bit more of a documentary series
"well I don't actually call myself a school" 😂😂
The other fella called himself House for several years, though.
@@MartinHiggins1972 🤣
For all who are saying they "predicted" the future, just know that this is *always* how it's been. If they had had public schools in the Middle Ages, there would have been parents complaining that teachers taught students that washing their hands after pooping would cut down on tummy aches.
Well no, what's happening atm is a teacher educating children how to identify a witch. Gender is a sociology term created to add imaginary context to two sexes and one genetic defect.
This is a great example of how video compression works
Brilliant. "It's very hard for you to believe that there's still some of us who can bring a child into this world without recourse to cannabis and government handouts"!🤣🤣
Is this the father of all karens🤣🤣
no, it's their son...
So the Karen's got married to eachother bought a house and ate 3 hot meals a day ?
@@joshuaizly5502 If by "bought" you mean "extorted from managers via numerous legal threats", then yes.
No, he is not the father of all Karens. He didn't have sexual intercourse.

This is literally how people behave now.
Erm, no, parents were like that then too.

If you don't read the comment section, this is a funny skit.
Holding a straight face must have been tough
I could be wrong but I think I saw the child trying not to laugh a few times.
3:25 That joke was so subtle, they forgot to add the laughter to it.
The blur makes that kid look like young Richard Hammond
Thats not Richard Hammond...no...he's much much shorter if that's at all possible.
And Mr. Casalinga a bit like James May
Yo im d e a d

@@Slamminjoe Fry resembles May even without the compression
This may very well be a real situation in an Indian school.
Nah. Indian kids are smart. They would never discuss this stuff in front of their parents.
Good God, as a teacher, this feels exactly like a typical parent conversation with teachers today.
Sad...and unfortunately glad I didn't become a teacher after all. Btw, kudos to all teachers.
"Soiled" 😂😂😂❤
I was sure that the dad was going to say that the stork brought their son to them.
"it just happens" I think the Mrs has been having some 'extracurricular" fun on the side :=)
Well it's either that or the soiled son is the coming of christ
@@therandomrat5238 I find that even scarier seeing as THIS man is his father! :=)
Well I don’t consider myself a school lol

The sheer number of people in the comments who don't realize this joke is about them is almost as funny as the sketch itself😂

Oh my goodness! I'm a little bit scandalised. I guess morality might not have gone down, it just has shifted into the open?
Absolutely priceless. Love the boy’s face throughout 😂😂😂
We’re missing the point here,

🤣
Well there's two of them.
This is absolutely genius. Love this sketch.
That kid looks so confused about this whole mad skit...
It's remarkable that he didn't break character what with all the audience laughing their heads off
We haven't got a spare. There is someone now who can fill in.
Not now he’s gone to America, written a book and gone on all the talk shows whinging how downtrodden he is.

I love the way he says “randy sex talk!” 😂
I'm sad for all the comments saying this is reality now
Always look on the bright side of life...
Huh? In what way is this reality?
This is one of the FUNNIEST things ever
We used to make fun of these kinds of people... now they're part of society. Fuck me, it wasn't so long ago.
They were always part of society. It’s just that now they have been given a voice by the Trumps and Johnsons of this world.
They were a part of society then too at least in the US. Satanic Panic etc.
they have been part of the American society for decades but when openminded people implemented sex education in American classrooms it sorta died down for a while. Again the clowns demand their rights to make ignorant clowns out of their children
No, they have always been part of society. Which is probably why they made the sketch.
There are people who have children and don’t know how children are produced?
this video cant decide what resolution it wants to be, the compression changes every 0.5 seconds
You are absolutely correct. Driving me a little nuts.
no it doesn't. It's just very low bitrate, and probably encoded with a 15-frame GOP about a million years ago, so you can see every I-frame.
@@hobbified yeah it was a joke
I believe it may have originally been filmed using a potato.
@@Mentocthemindtaker no it was filmed professionally, this is bad encoding
How do they keep a straight face
He sounds like the whackos at my local USA school board meetings.
This sketch was prescient of today's America.
It reminds me of the sketch “A bit of a chat” by Cook and Moore and both of them are absolutely hilarious in different and sophisticated ways.
The best.
Its all fun and games until you realized people like him exist today
yeah, some people cannot even define what a "woman" or a "man" is
@@defeqel6537 "an adult who lives and identifies as female though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth"
Literally the first dictionary result if you google, but I guess they don't teach googling in the type of schools you want the world to regress to :)
Genial para estos tiempos de pin parental jajajaj
hola senor, necesitas mas pixeles?
Lol
I don't even know Spanish and I'm laughing XD
hang on. so who is the boy's father then?
By God, you don't think Mrs. Smear is secretly married to another man and owns a house with him and is giving him three hot meals a day...? Oh the scandal!
What a way to find out you're adopted :v
so cute ❣️❣️❣️😂
The goofy dad !!!!
Omg I'd of loved to have had a teacher like Stephen Fry the things he knows and can teach omg 🥰
He would have taught you it’s “I’d have* loved…”
He is very cool in many ways. 👍
I'm not used to Stephen acting in a more calm manner. But it's actually good and makes you calm. And actually unless the kid was adopted I can't see another way of saying how he could just be.
wife is fat and got knocked up by the mailman did not notice she was pregnant because again she was fat and he has no idea what sex is and then while out of town she gives birth he comes back and Michael is there.

Sadly, there are parents like this. They run Texas.
@einz holy bitch, shit bless americca!!! :D
No, they run California, New York or Great Britain to name just a few.
Once their woman has nuts and no uterus, no amount of sexual intercourse can make this person pregnant. You definitely spent last decade somewhere in parallel dimension that you are not aware of it. J. K. Rowling somehow challenged that stupidity and that was hell of a pogrom against her afterwards.
Those in Texas at least know how woman looks like and which toilet is appropriate for her

didnt house have a case with asexual reproduction?
@@lendonsookdeo8072 No, It was not a case of Parthenogenesis, I think House MD lied so to save the marriage of the couple.

That's fucked up besides that he was not mad about it and handle it well
I get the feeling that this sketch has been cut short
If you mean it has been cut short by Stephen and Hugh you're right, they wrote it this way I believe (at least it is how it was shown in the ABOFAL episode).
@@bennylloyd-willner9667 I wasn't sure whether by the uploader or whether it was this way in the original episode, but either way it does come across as if it was cut short
@@Steve_P_B it's often how they end sketches in ABOFAL. It has a wtf? effect on the viewer and I think it is intentional. It's like the ending of the haircut sketch" when Stephen is "performing an encutment on a gentleman's hair" with Hugh as customer. I like when comedians don't follow "the general rules of sketch writing" 😊
@@bennylloyd-willner9667 unfortunately there's not any places to watch the whole episodes in Australia so I generally have to rely on CZcams clips like this
Where's the subtitle?
They enunciate so clearly, who needs it?
@@jjakiefte2165 ik, but they say they have subtitle.. i expect them to have subtitle.. they're clear enough to understand the jokes based on some pointers, but if there's subtitle as promised like the title said.. I get what I expected and can understand all words clearly.
Like if a grocery stores says their bread has chocolate flavor, but it turns out it just plain bread. Someone ask about it and then you came and say "They are still bread and makes your stomach full anyway, who needs it?" Then you heroically save the day...
Not everyone has normal hearing too, all I found is Auto-generated CC from Google, and it's sometimes inaccurate
@@rizqiimani I understand. would you like a new video or something of equal value?
Está en la transcripción 🤗
I think your expectation is reasonable. If you look in the description, you will find a screenplay of this sketch. It's not subtitles (and the uploader should definitely change the title of the video so as to not mislead viewers), but you might find it even more interesting!

You definitely meant to say covid believers, didn't you?
Where did the COVID go now?
what episode of heartstopper is this?🤔
This is exactly like talking to anti-science religious zealots.
I agree, but also conversely political zealots and atheists zealots alike
@@lemuelseale1640 There are atheist zealots? Do they go on crusades, perhaps? Or murder the gays?
@@DatBeanNat you really dont want to try and make that argument. Consider why it is that, universally speaking, all communist countries are largely atheist by technicality, replacing the ideology of religion with a worship of the state. China isnt exactly gay friendly, pol pots’ regime was certainly a crusade against anyone religious or scholarly, the USSR allowed eastern orthodoxy largely due to its state ties and its pro-state propagandism. The biggest atheist zealots were mao, pol pot, stalin, everyone in the kim dynasty, castro up until the 90s… see the correlation here between atheist zealotism and intolerance?
@@lemuelseale1640 Hahaha what? Russia uses the Orthodox church as a weapon and China only targets groups for ethnic purposes for genocide. But sure buddy. You keep blaming people who don't believe in your Sky Daddy for the world's ills.
@@DatBeanNat you clearly dont know your history. And also very clearly you have never been to either russia or china.

@@FreedomPuppy At the time it was a parody, but in retrospect everything these people were afraid of has come to pass.
@@robertmartin6800 Although many places, especially in the USA, definitely overdo it with bringing up sexuality to children who are not even close to puberty, the majority of what is taught is indeed true and important to be shown to post-pubescent people who could be struggling with sexuality and gender roles that very traditional societies do not accept which can be very harmful to people's psychosocial states.
@@urmumwota4185 Our children are less mentally healthy than at any other point in our history, I don't see any basis for the notion that _not_ enforcing traditional gender roles, or exposing them to sexually explicit content when they're still children, are boons to children's mental health, it seems more likely that the opposite is the case. That may be what they self report, but that's certainly not what the data are telling us. The children being exposed to such content, and who have nontraditional gender and sexual roles enforced upon them are far and away the least mentally healthy.
ok.
Check out Thevissen video with viewable visuals. This copy is atrocious.
The empty t-shirt puzzlingly amuse because snail notably tumble underneath a glossy flavor. second-hand, ancient hubcap
nation or nazi..... aren't we all?
Ummm...no? I'm neither a nation nor a Nazi.
this should be shown at American school board meetings when parents want to ban books and any language pertaining to transgender biology, etc. Do you think they would get the irony? Is it ironic? I'm never sure. In any case this is absolutely brilliant display of denial of simple facts
No, they wouldn't find the humor in this, as these parents tend to be humorless bullies. Like their hero Donny T, their range of humor is limited to punching down, and their self-righteous narcissism doesn't allow self-reflection or empathy. Sad state of affairs in the U.S.
Transgender biology... like married bachelors? The flight characteristics of submarines? The eating habits of small rocks?
Pseudoscience today is certainly more prolific than ever but it just doesn't feel like it's trying very hard.😄
Why? Are you trying to give them ideas??
I think it's better for them to teach transgender psychology and how they come to be rather than explaining their biology since there's nothing awry going on in their biology and most of the issue happens inside their psyche. Unless of course you're talking about hermaphrodites.
"Transgender biology" is a contradiction. Transgenderism is based on gender theory. It specifically relies on explaining away biological reality.
Americans please watch this video.
Yes they should learn it's the female that gets pregnant.
What is this supposed to mean?
@@Mutantcy1992 Many American school parents complain about science and health topics taught to students. Seeing this video compares with how odd the complaints are.
@@HonestlyAnnaFun okay, and you're American or what?
Why? It's basically what's taught in schools nowadays.
Conservative much?
Well considering that conservative births outmatch liberal births, it's safe to assume that conservatives know about sex, they just feel that schools have no business teaching sex education.
@@mecurian485 sure, and conservatives also outmatch everyone in teen pregnancies, STDs and sexual abuse because of a lack of said sexual education.
@@amoral_minority Not true, but I'm glad you agree with my initial point.
@@mecurian485 conservatives do have higher teen pregnancies
@@newjerseyyouth4853 Nope conservatives do not have a higher teen pregnancy rate. Conservatives have higher numbers of teen mothers giving birth because they don't kill their babies. They also have a higher rate of couples marrying early. We call these families.
Liberal states have a much higher teen pregnancy rate. They just kill their children before they are brought to term. We call that abortion, or simply murder.
So sex education does nothing to curtail teenage pregnancy, it just teaches brainwashed girls how to deal with their "problem".

I doubt they would-see it, or get the point if they did.
@Drwatsconca what the left wing is doing is dangerous.
you do not discuss any sex related issues with kids 3-4-5-6-7 year old. I believe telling kids of 5 years old what they have between their legs at that age is called grooming.
I happen to have seen some of the material and that is extremelly concerning. I'm glad that many states have taken action to prevent this nonsense.
Up until one is 12 years of age, reproduction etc should not enter the curriculum. It is for the parents then to decide what they want to do, that's their child after all.
Yeah, self awareness and understanding metaphore and sarcasm really aren't their strong suits. Hence why they are how they are.
@@michaelturyn4558 u r of course joking or you don't have kids. NO ONE can talk to my kids of 5-9 years of age about sexual orientation.
