      You notice that Jeeves rarely ever throws those ugly clothes away. More often he gives them to someone else. It's probably a class divide thing where Jeeves was raised to keep it, save it, or give it away and that even if it's not useful to you, it's useful to someone else whereas Bertie is probably from the wear it once and throw it out disposable income.
      At the very least, Jeeves probably thinks that as long as it's not collecting cobwebs in Bertie's wardrobe, it's not his problem.

      He certainly does or at least did. It may have helped him that he was a bit younger back then.
      But he does carry the look remarcable well. The challenge would be when he would be speaking as he has a rather deep voice. Otherwise I can see him using that as a way to act like a lady on a British daytime tv light drama.

    • @frasierfreak92
      @frasierfreak92 Před 5 měsíci +7

      That’s what a Valet is. Jeeves is not a Butler! A Butler only serves food and drinks to his master, and lights his cigars or cigarettes. A Valet is a “Gentleman’s Gentleman” and does everything from ironing his clothes to running a bath or even shaving him. A Butler would generally be a Servant in a larger household and have several footmen working under him, but not be particularly skilled in much other than serving drinks and food. Jeeves is his employer’s only staff and does everything! He can Buttle, and has filled in for Butlers in the past, but that’s far easier than his normal job!

    I'm sorry I love Hugh Laurie but he needs to stick to his natural American accent from House MD. His so-called "English" accent is terrible! We don't sound like that at all!

      I can only hope that this is some sort of poorly played out sarcasm.
      Hugh Laurie is very very English!
      He PUTS ON an american accent for his House character.
      He's very good at it because he's a remarkable actor.

    Trust Stephen Fry to f++k around with one of the greatest comic characters in English literature. If you truly love and have read the works of PG Wodehouse, particularly the Jeeves and Wooster stories you'd know that it would be impossible for Jeeves to have dressed up as a woman. This is just a bit of Fry narcissism and self indulgence. Wodehouse would be spinning in his grave if he'd known this kind of ludicrous liberty was being taken with perhaps his greatest creation.

      I love the books a lot too, the Jeeves stories are already absolutely ridiculous, throwing a bit of drag into one episode of the show is just one of many funny extra little additions. If you enjoy the books more then stick to reading them, but Fry and Laurie's adaptation of them is a joy to many!

      Strange, you would forego mention of Laurie's disguising himself as a maid in the same episode, almost as if you were more disgusted by an element of Fry's personal character than critical of his duo's artistic choice in freshly presenting a satirical classic. Fry and Laurie are not slaves to the regurgitation of past ideals, unlike some.

      @@pretsal4955I beg to differ but pantomime has always been popular here in the UK along with the tradition men dressing up as women in the UK. Jeeves and Wooster were not dressing in drag for entertainment but to pull off one of their hair-brained schemes.
