If you are going to succeed with your customers, you have to be absolutely sure that your communication is crystal clear. Are you really on the same wave length as your customer or is that a dangerous and frustrating assumption?

As great as the two Ronnie were let’s be honest,they are basically a one sketch wonder! you ask 100 people on the street to name as many two Ronnie sketches as possible and I’d wager that at least 90 of them could only name this one sketch! It’s the same story with monty python,most people only know them for the “dead parrot sketch”.

Ronnie Barker in an interview stated he was never satisfied with how the sketch ended. And shortly after it had aired, he encountered a woman with large breasts, and from a spark of inspiration, came up with an alternate ending he regrets never doing. Where instead a woman with large bosoms walks on set to deal with him and after reading his list replies "Right, what size knockers do you want?".

@rexharrison6827 Жыл бұрын

@@Autumn_Darkness I don't mind swearing if it has context, but swearing for swearing's sake doesn't equal comedy. My daughter used to love "Inbetweeners". so I dutifully watched it a couple of times and found it to be utterly unfunny to my sense of humour. The F-Bomb seemed to be the actual punchline more often than not. Whereas I cherished "The Young Ones" as a classic piece of surreal comedy, where "Bastard!" was both funny and in context. So, yeah, I think the generation gap does play a part in one's appreciation!

Barker certainly had it quite easy, in terms of effort expended, compared to Corbett, in this skit. Nor did they have to affect much, in the way of speech, either, using basically almost their normal voices. This is a testament to how minimalism can still create an hilarious performance. Probably the fact that this skit was so matter-of-factly, everyday, in its composition, that people were so easily able to relate to it, went far in it's being so classic.

Barker wanted to conclude with Corbett clearly hacked off with the customer so calls upstairs to a busty assistant to come down and deal with the customer to whom she says after a briefing from Corbett "okay, what sort of knockers do you want?" ...the BBC would not allow it go out as it was pre watershed time so we ended up with the poor ending.

@Qwobble 5 жыл бұрын

This isn't quite true. They didn't come up with the knockers ending until after the BBC airing of the sketch. In their touring version, Barker's list says "Knockers", which is when Corbett goes to fetch the Busty assistant. It's more easily got across than the "bollocks/billhooks" joke, which is still good for the sketch.

@markgc1316 4 жыл бұрын

That makes more sense, and would have finished the sketch off better. Because their forte was language and their sketches were very wordy, the humour was most often the original premise of the gag and the subsequent exchanges between the two Rons. As a result, many sketches didn't even have an obvious punchline, and often fizzled out a bit (or ended with some corny d'dum tish, or trombone-slide moment) (See The Two Ronnies: Round of Drinks)
