Stephen Fry delivers a brilliant, rapid-fire monologue about the flexibility and elasticity of the English language, using increasingly absurd phrases and wordplay while Hugh Laurie struggles to keep up with the conversation. Fry discusses how language is "a complementary moist lemon-scented cleansing square" and demonstrates linguistic creativity with nonsensical yet grammatically structured phrases. The sketch is a masterclass in verbal dexterity and comedic timing.
