@alexday5892 Spoonerisms, Ronnie Barker had me in stitches with them🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

😂

+Tidgy he's never going to be at the standard of the two ronnies but i saw a comedian recently on TV called jimeoin. your opinion might be different but i thought the guy was a breath of fresh air compared to all the other recent comics.

***** YES! Jimeoin is great I also love him, but there still isn't that intelligence to create it, these two need the acting skills as well as lots more than just skills to stand there and speak. But yes, he is definitely a cut above the rest of the comedians now as you say, along with a few others like Peter Kay and Lee Evans etc.

+Tidgy Very true. Genius and their timing is unbelievable!!

+Tidgy So swearing automatically makes it bad comedy? Swear words just like any words have meanings that can change with the times, surely there where words in your day that are said openly that would have been frowned apon a few years previous. No such thing as a "Swear word" in my opinion. Language evolves, thats something you just have to deal with. Don't get me wrong, innocent simple humor like this is funny but no more funny that a comedy act that uses swearing as a punchline. Fuck for example is used in comedy because to say the work fuck you have to smile (try it). So when a comedian says it, he smiles, as does the audience. We are social animals at the end of the day. K's are funny, to put it simply. Of course comedy is highly subjective, but isnt it interesting that i can enjoy modern humor and old, and yet you perceive new to be bad. I think every generation is guilty of it, we trust what we grew up with but at some point you have to look to the future just as i have learned to look to the past. Humor is everywhere, dont let a few "Bad words" spoil it for you.

+Justin Proctor Swearing is no more than a demonstration of a lack of imagination, lack of character and a lack of command of the English language. A talented comedian can make people laugh without using a single swear word which is a dying art. Swearing is an attempt to gain a person's attention by something other than talent and an indication of a lack of confidence in one's self to get a point across.

and this was in the xmas sketchbook 05 cant understand why funny scene but old hat surely

Ok be quiet, boomer. They're funny, but time has moved on from this seaside postcard humour.

@@TheMusicalElitist MOVED ON EH ? WE ALL KNOW WHERE TO. BUT YOU'RE TOO THICK TO IDENTIFY IT. IT RHYMES WITH RAPP

Chemistry like this is usually measured in megatons.

nowit can be measured

Let's not forget Viscount Ronnie von Barker. No disrespect to Monsieur Corbett, but the aforementioned Ron del Barker was the genius behind their genius, and quite modestly so.

You mean Ronnie Barker he was the genius not Corbett that's a fact not an opinion!!

@@michaellennon5040 I’m not saying you are wrong but it’s still just your opinion….. And that is a fact!

@@michaellennon5040 Every double act needs the straight man but Ronnie Corbett was funny and talented in his own right. I never did like his monologues though..

@@michaellennon5040 . .😊😊..

Yup! Same here!! XD I forgot that part until just now XD

yep; priceless!

That's Barbara New. She was brilliant as Mabel in You Rang M'Lord and as Mrs Vera Plumtree in Oh Dr Beeching

It showed how well they knew their British audience, how well we understand comedy in Britain. Brilliant comedy writing, classic British comedy, classic Two Ronnies.

@@petermallia558 Absolutely. Brilliant writing, brilliant wordplay, and comic timing that comes from years of working together. Effortless genius that few can manage now.

""SAY NO MORE ""

Absolutely!! Brits are naturally in on this humour. Priceless!! That being said, foreigners beware: one will not run into a Barker/Cleese/Gervais on any street corner. OH NO YOU WON'T!!

They didn't treat there audience they treated them as intelligent members of the community and that's why it's so smart

Awesome! Try this, the most famous sketch kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nc-PabaS1ry1g6s.html

Try to catch "and now the state of the party"!

This particular sketch was made in 1980, but I know what you’re talking about.

@Gerry S.S But the Crossword sketch was 1980. I’ve seen the 1973 episodes including the hospital one (where RC bursts like a balloon during a blood pressure measurement).

fork handles & the phantom raspberry blower of old London Town are a must see my friend

Yes they sure were. Loved 'em as a young bloke and still do now :)

One of the funniest sketches you will ever see... I love Ronnie Corbett he's a genius... So tell me friend when last did you play it?

Porridge was my favourite

two across.

@@justinmanser7525 All the good looking birds wouldn't be the same without them. . . . . Their life would be so much more difficult without wings. :)

Nick Jay absolutely brilliant Nick! It had me in genuine tears of laughter... no one comes anywhere close when it's the two Ronnie's!

I totally agree Ryan.

Too clever for today's audience. The Ronnies' humour relied on linguistic nuances, so different now...

@@paulcaswell2813 OH for sure Paul and unbelievably, I notice now there are now 307 thumbs down. I can only assume they must all be Sun Readers! lol.

@@NickJay Sun readers who cannot complete the Sun crossword!

It's still funny.

Barker was the genius & he wrote many of the sketches; Corbett was a pompous, irritating TIT.

Both were brilliant

Not forgetting Ronnie Barker!

No no. I think you might mean fork handles .

@@pintificate loool

i forgot about those! I'll have to find some now

How can they be reunited? They are dead. Don't get me wrong I like them but I just want to know why people think the dead get together after they are dead dead imean dead. Gone.

@StealthyMonk That depends on your definition of death

Were they buried in the same casket? That's a bit strange!

@Lonard Little you are right.

Absolutely not !

I think this one is better - but they are both brilliant..... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r5ZzaJyhrsXdoIU.html

Don’t forget the mastermind sketch. Very clever

@@Nina5144 ...you obviously didn't click on the link above^^.

The funniest one for me will always be 'four candles', that's just hilarious!

Oh shit, he's been dead 4 ye ars, damn that goes fast.

Some sketches.

Genial 'Arry Grit

the smut was implied here

I think you mean he can never hold FOUR CANDLES to these two!

spot on, they are iconic, love RB the most but have come to love RC too, my favourite ever is Porridge, Norman Stanley Fletcher,

or maybe never to be able hold four candles..

Rick Ross never gets old

We were lucky. Nothing like it now.

@@itsjudystube Agreed, at least we have KZfaq!

@@Fifury161 true but you can't really sit down with your Saturday night tea and the rest of your family and watch and laugh together (while the wife tut's at every joke). We used to laugh at Dad laughing as much as the program.

Yes, good times.

Brilliant!! 😂😄

Umm, it was 'canned' laughter.

Alex Wiggs . They were two of the very best.

@@julesburton4649 They were the best

Same

about time your education started

He was a comedic genius.

Or the one where they ended with, "One of us has had a sex change." Ronnie C: "So it's good from me;" Ronnie B:"And it's good night from her." 🤣

Probably only one - they were consummate professionals. There's an excellent video of deleted scenes somewhere on KZfaq and it shows them to be very well-rehearsed indeed. I could be wrong!

@@JamesChurchCabaret I think you're probably quite right about reahersals. I'll have to look for that outtakes one too.

@@Molderon They didn't write all their own material. Eric Sykes wrote quite a bit for them, along with other writers.

He was a Greek philosopher, wasn't he?

I don't get it.

+ExplorerDS6789 That's probably for the best

Bollocks to you

The priest wrote CUNT... and asked for an Eraser to rectify... Flies away....

OH, rubber as in eraser. Must be a British term, because when I hear 'rubber', I think of prophylactic. Thank you.
