One of my absolutely favorite Fry/Laurie sketches for three reasons: the actual rant; two, the placid, limpid, incomprehending gaze affected by Laurie; and the fact that Fry somehow manages in it to look an awful lot like Tom Stoppard, which just adds more hilarity to the whole thing.

Anyway, my keyboard is now covered in fruit juice.
Thanks.
