And that deserves a pin.😂😆😀🙌

80p in 1976 had the same purchasing power that £5.89 did in 2020.

You fucking legend

Could you explain to me... One is British and the other one is?.

@@patyso5617 both are british, in 1976 80p = £5.89 its what happens to money over time its worth much so in around 1912 £50 is = to £1,500 in the English money now

classic !

It is also the look on Ronnie C's face when Ronnie B said that ... Ron C was getting more annoyed as it went along...

Kills me every time

Mon repose OSE😆😆😆

Do you find you laugh easily? The for four candles bit is OK, it tails off after that.

100% agree it's all about the timing

The eyes on Corbett here haha

On paper this sketch isn't funny at all, it is the deliverance, timing and indeed the tight friendship that makes it funny ... every time. Seen this one at least 10 times, never fails to make me laugh.

@@mauricedorreboom5388 Best of Brit comedians can play working/ middle/ upper class alternately, and these 2 are pretty good at it.

Laurel and hardy too, like all 3 comedy pairs, not get any as good these days

I knew somebody years ago who use to do what Ronnie Corbett just did. Gawd knows why? Good catch.

Meanwhile on a distant planet, Dell falls through the bar. Yawn....

I thought the exact same thing. They're both great but I particularly loved Ronnie Barker.

Why won't he let him see?

@@dmuirhe1perhaps the greatest moment in entertainment history

It's average at best. Not classic now, let alone in a thousand years.

@@dbrowne193 I am curious dbrowne193, why do you waste your life watching and commenting on things that you obviously don't like?

@@kerry5586 Why?

@@dbrowne193if it’s not ‘a classic’ as you say, why did you watch the video

Right up there with "who's on first?"

@@1950Grendelthat was brilliant 😂

Yah an absolute classic

He was trying to keep a straight face through it its said He nearly lost it at the Saw tips stage hence why he looks down and wipes the counter

I'm crying with laughter already, and they're not even up to the saw tips bit yet

Agree. Brilliant though Barker is, Corbett des all the work here. Similar to the Laurel and Hardy 'Trail of the Lonesome Pine' thing - Stan gets all the laugh-lines, but Ollie does most of the work.

@@gingerfellah5665 Where I live they sadly are still as rude! And then they wonder why the small shops are dying.

The most original and well played out sketch ever

stitl their step ladder in me lift.

I agree, it is not Ronnie’s lines that are funny but Ronnie’s timing.

that punchline is pretty weak.....I wouldn't call it brilliant

It’s one of the most iconic, but certainly not the best in my opinion. For example, I find Monty Python’s Argument Clinic much better. That’s not to say the this isn’t great...it definitely is. But the actual jokes just can’t hold a candle (or four) to other sketches, even by the two Ronnies. That’s just my opinion though.

Reminds me of the classic who's on first...or should I say ooze on first.

@@doctorsuave Well I suppose you are right. Just love this though. Actually my favourite MP sketch is the Ministry of Silly Walks. But my all time favourite M & Ws Grieg’s Piano Concerto with Andre ‘Preview’…

It ok, overrated though.

Fanous Theofanous, well said.

I completely agree. both the Two Ronnies and Morcambe and Wise were 'one of a kind'. They can never be replaced. I'm 63 and when I get to see them again I will shake them by the hand and tell them all how much I enjoyed their comedy. Very sadly missed. R.I.P all of them.

I still remember seeing these guys for the first time. I laughed so much I tried to make them a weekly routine. I was maybe 11 or 12...then Monty Python came on and I was hooked on them as well. At one point they were back to back...that was a great hour of tele!

Fork handles?

I think that's true. ❤

Cringe 🤢

I can imagine why, if they can't even get an easy shopping list right the first time ;)

Do they call them "hardware stores" in Britain these days? If so, the invasion of Americanisms has proceeded further than I thought! We used to call them "ironmongers."

Shop*

@Debs yours is the better idea 😂

I tried this walking out with a cake with four candles. Grinning from ear to ear and intensely making eye contact with everybody. They thought I was on drugs.

@Debs Crokaert and 3 tins of peas .....

@@KevinBower-gy5be dont forget the ‘ose

@@jeffreyyates2121 oh, you mean oes

This type of comedy was seen on the Carol Burnett show. Corbett here really made me think of Tim Conway. This is my first time seeing Corbett.

@@margaretd.2490 I came across Tim Conway by accident a few years ago. The dentist sketch hits the spot every time. Another true classic.

Well deserved indeed! This is probably the best sketch of any country in any language!

Sad that this won. Rest must be dross.

No, Os!

Got any Ps

Why didn't you bleedin tell me that when i was up there?

Heaven is a man-made construct created to help people cope with the death of people they can't believe won't ever exist again.

Elliott Mol that makes no logical sense

You have the wrong concept of Heaven.............nothing to do with this Earth!!!

The internet everyone...you can’t talk about your beliefs religious/political or even who you believe the best James Bond is without someone criticising or insulting you.

Me too. Love it.

WeLikeSportz *its (no apostrophe) because otherwise you're saying 'English comedy at IT IS best' which makes no sense

Ronnie Corbett was Scottish

You might as well just say British comedy.

I think that's the curse of a comic more so than than now. These guys were a national treasure. And was hard to cast them into serious roles because they were seen as so hilarious.

I'm a particular fan of his he grumbles all the way to the box that had the letters in them and back about needing to fetch it again.

They were great comedy actors. Unlike Morecambe and Wise/ Mike and Bernie Winters/ Hope and Keen etc, they both had good careers outside of the duo - Barker with 'Open all hours' and 'Porridge', Corbett with 'Sorry' and 'No, that's me over here' etc. I don't know if Corbett wrote much, but certainly Barker wrote a lot for other people, often under the pseudonym of Gerald Wiley.

No way were/are they underrated.......I don’t understand how you can say that!

Robin Williams was a legendary comedian, but he performed a lot of serious film roles

Ah, a fellow 70's child. Cornflakes with sugar on to start the day with full-fat milk. Big old jam sandwich and a packet of Tudor for any time between breakfast and tea (not dinner) and a meat and two veg tea (probably with chips fried in lard). Out all day during the summer until it got dark and everyone asking for a ride on each other's bikes. No one trying to nick yours, just on a bit too long for your liking. No mobiles. No internet. I remember it well with a mix of sadness at the loss of the innocence and happiness that my own children have had a very different, but equally as happy upbringing. Be well.

Ahh, great days indeed

But remember in those days due to lack of technology crimes went unsolved for years. No DNA technology, o cameras (cc TV) etc. you had all characters out loose with no fear of getting caught. England had a fair share of them as did the US. One had to be careful.

You’re allowed to go and play in the park and own a black and white television these days actually, it’s not illegal or anything.

You are not allowed any electric plugs in uk bathrooms

There's a Wetherspoons pub in Chester called The Four Candles. Lots of Two Ronnies memorabilia in there.

@Daniel Crutcher ikr, I'm younger and I'd rather lived when this stuff was going on :(

@ bet you're fun at parties

Rebecca Young I am educated ,you should try it .It will serve you well

Mate I feel for you. Used to do the same with my old man. Be well.

I know. Great stuff. Outstanding comedy sketch. Brilliant writing. Ronnie Barker was excellent. I remember men who were just like him. No social grace and yet they were often very kind. Completely harmless with good humour. His clothes were just so appropriate. Love his old shrunken jumper with it's holes in the elbows🤣.

If you loved this, wait until you hear the one about the chicken crossing the road.

And the dust coat, attention to detail, plus comedy brilliance, ah! Pure heaven. Jofus

585 now. Why ?

He thinks he says "Sore tips"

Oh Jesus so funny

Jolly nice shop, eh what.

indeed lol old shops were like that lol

You could say that it was a, Wall Mart. XD

Never carry any tips for me saws, though.

No amazon back in those days ;)

Gee Terence, they are the Woke generation the future is bright your country is in safe hands.

They still sell tins of peas?...

There's one in South Molton in Devon which is very similar, I miss how hardware shops used to be
