Absolutely brilliant! I remember this the first time round and haven't seen it for more decades than I care to remember. Two very very funny and talented guys.
I mean, this was a generation war when many adults either served or were alive during WWII and London did not get its first Japanese restaurant until the 1970s. Animosity from WWII took a lot of time to fade.
I wonder if Japanese people would be offended by this. Regardless, this would never be allowed in the current absurdly PC climate. Great comedy seems a thing of the past when we can no longer take the mickey out of anything or anyone.
+m. mouskovitz Anyone who knows anything about geography, for one thing, and certainly anyone from either China or Japan. It would not have ruined the meter of the song to have RC sing, "Back in To-u-kyo, back in To-u-kyo..."

Comedy genius 😁😁miss them so much 🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴🇺🇦🇺🇦
Excellent presentation of Kamikaze theatre by the Two Ronnies , Geishas were wonderfully dressed.
RC was starting to lose his mustache by the end!
How long before this is banned? The state of things now.
I know.... :( Terminal political correctness has destroyed the age of fun and innocence...
English cobbler... Lol
Ha ha ha.....
チャイナが混じってるなぁ
This must have taken a lot of work , but it's awful.
It's wonderful!
Omg,absolutely the best they were simply AWEDOME, I can't stop laughing
Such a loss that we can't have this kind of comedy today, harmless and sadly missed

Gen z would still think it's offensive somehow! Wowsers!🤑
And this little bell means run like hell
It's the fire alarm!
I was just imagining them in The Mikado, Ronnie B as the emperor, and Ronnie C as Ko-Ko. I think it would have worked.
There's a clip on here, audio only, of them doing Gilbert and Sullivan, with a lot of Mikado in it.
I’d have paid to see that
"We play the mystic Orient,
Shanghai, Calcutta and Tashkent
And next week it's Stoke on Trent..."

They’d think it’s hilarious. They have no grievances or chips on their shoulders.
Wonderful, such a wonderful relief from the vanities of American politics
I keep playing this,,vwhen l first saw it there wasn't even video recorders.
It's still hilarious, one of my favourite musical pieces. Thank you for sharing!
You can see he's got a big head
'And a very big reportiore' 😁
A sketch like this could never be performed today.
Too many snowflakes claming it's offensive!
That is why we must perform it today.
This is all time favorite. X
i can almost hear the PC progressists shouting "discrimination! discrimination!"
I Love IT. Great the two ronnies
Xie xie two ronnies
Amazing!⚜💝⚜🤗👏
Weird mix of Japanese and Chinese. Kinda cringe.
Not one of their best.
Peking is in China, so why are they singing about finding Geisha there?
MaskedMan66 who cares it's just a bit of fun comedy & great genius etc etc etc

No one cares. Remember a lot of Japanese culture is based off Ming Dynasty China.
Oh dear.... that's not the point.... Pedantry will be the death of humanity...
@@tannhasuervonhohenstein3728 I care, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Certainly Chinese and Japanese would find the confusion insulting.
