This is one of my favorite Morecambe and Wise sketches which I have been trying to find for years. Having now found it I hope others enjoy it too,

The last bastion of vaudeville. The joy this couple brought to so many was unparalleled.

Oh I miss watching Morecambe and Wise soooo much. These two, the Two Ronnies, Mike Yarwood and so many more. They were true comedians. We haven’t seen their like since and unfortunately never will again. Today’s ‘comedians’ (and I use the term loosely) can’t hold a candle to them. RIP to all the late greats of comedy. We miss you 😢

@TheRenaissanceman65 OK, try this. I was *_Wise,_* or rather _wise,_ (as in _earnest_ ) to what you posted _after_ I'd posted rather less _earnestly_ in reply to you. In essence I meant that I'd understood your response and I replied playing on the word _wise._ The difference I was underlining _originally_ was that *Shakespeare,* whose use of language I truly admire, would probably _never_ have used the facetious locution that *Ernie,* who I also admire, famously did (though I suspect it was *Eric's* idea - and I admire _him_ even more). *_Pterry_* would have known what I meant as would *P. G. Wodehouse* but, as I said, it's rather elliptical.

@philaypeephilippotter6532 4 жыл бұрын

@TheRenaissanceman65 No. *Ernie* wrote many plays that are lost to history, attributed to such as *De Vere,* and many others that I know not wot of. Perhaps you could elucidate further. As I recall it *Ernie* wrote *_Macbeth,_* a truly wondrous play. Did he also write *_Loves' Labours Lost,_* a great political play according to *Barry Cryer?* *_ISIRTA_* nearly _rools_ but *_ISIHAC_* went further - but maybe only in _my_ opinion!
