It's just classic, clever comedy. Not only is it a clever satire of self-righteous folk music, it's very physical as well. Hugh sells it so well! He manages to convey confusion, sheepishness and guilt all in one skit. He even looks relieved when he gets the last "vodka and lime" bit out.

This wouldn't have been nearly as funny without his facial expressions. Sign of a good comedic actor. Or rather, a good actor, for that matter.

Mel Brooks said that good comedy needs good acting. Even if a joke is lousy, if you commit with the acting it can make it funny.

The multi-talented Hugh Laurie is greatness . I am Canadian by the way, and I have followed his career since his " Blackadder" and "Blackadder goes Forth" days. I enjoy "House" and " A bit of Fry and Laurie", but I think my favorite Hugh Laurie program was another series he did with Stephen Fry, in the early 90's it was called "Wooster and Jeeves"

Pretty sure it was called "And Jeeves Wooster"

He is so timeless and brilliant - multifaceted talent.

Love his mock-serious delivery!

I love his comedic songs because of their ironic (but undoubtedly deliberate) depth. This song for example. The idea is that we have no clear solution to the challenges before us.

For me it's about people not always seeing how complex problems can be, they will often give glib advice, but if you really look into root causes of problems you will often see they have multiple reasons for which there often isn't an easy solution to.
