I feel so blessed to have grown up in the 70's & 80's when despite only having 3 channels, tv was great, now it's hundreds of channels of absolute rubbish with very little family tv, R.I.P. Bobby, you brought joy & laughter to millions, thank you.
They used to visit Oldham Rugby club on a Thursday, when it was Disco night. They would get up and do a song. One night it was announced that our local lads were going to be on TV. I met him years later in a flower shop in Oldham. He was blocking the main door. He turned and opening the door for me, he started the conversation with, "Hello Mrs. Woman, was I in your way?" He chatted to me on and off and was exactly the same as on TV. He was often seen around Shaw in Oldham. Great bloke. Glad to know he is safe with Jesus. Love you Bobby. R.I.P.
@@peteb8556 Doesn't mean we live there. Bobby was "an IRA supporter", was he? Bad day for you, pal, seeing as we know more than some nasty little toad spreading vicious rumours on the Internet. Let's all see your proof. Leave your BS out of it and show us your proof. Oh, you don't have any?
A real pleasure to have met you both at burnley mechanics & bobbys statue unveiling at lytham st annes. Thanks for the memories bobby. Rest in peace sir.
A comedy duo is comprised of two comedians. Bobby was the gag man and Tommy the effortless straight man. Sheer genius. Thank you both for years of laughter. RIP Bobby.
This brings back so many happy memories of watching Cannon and Ball and not just thier performance but memories of watching with family some of whom are no longer here. It was a family and show and that's what every family did back then sit down enjoy these shows together. Such a shame those days are gone.
Sadly, they fell out in the 80's, & didn't speak unless onstage, for several years! "They admitted that, during their hey-day of huge popularity in the 1980s, they were barely on speaking terms and would avoid each other completely when not on stage or rehearsing. These tensions-which lasted for 3 years - were later resolved and the two became very close once again." - Wiki
Omg I forgot how brilliant cannon n ball were🤗👍brings back such good memories fun n laughter👍 great act great duo don't make em like tht sadly anymore 🤕 God bless thm both,keep em rocking bobby up their🙏👍🥰 big big miss 🤕
This is pure entertainment and with 2 great comedy duo laughter all the way.Bring back thier shows to cheer us up while we are in lockdown it will do wonders
Comedy like this unfortunately is a thing long gone now we live in a state of fear of upsetting someone Slowly loosing our greatest comedians to a future that will be afraid to say anything or laugh God bless and rip xx
This was a gem . They really were superb with their unique style .... we all on this earth for a short time .. to make an impact and give pleasure to so many is wonderful ...
As an Irish person I was lucky to see Cannon and Ball at the height of their fame in Blackpool during the eighties,it was outstanding,I still remember Tommy singing ‘he ain’t heavy he’s my brother’ while holding Bobby in his arms,it now brings tears to my eyes,...Legends.
Ahh how bloody good were those two, shame old rock on has gone, thanks matey for making me laugh all those years ago and even right up to now in Not Going Out Rip matey
I was lucky enough to have seen them in concert. Fantastic then, fantastic now. My thoughts are with Tommy and Bobbys Family. RIP Bobby , youre the best 👍👍👍🙏
Fantastic to see this again after so long ! Reminds me of when my family used to sat down and watch TV together, laughing ! Love the perfect timing of these two, such genuine humour ! RIP Bobby, thanks for the wonderful memories !
Bobby, suddenly gone. Good wholesome entertainment. All you see on TV now are reality/fly-on-the-wall shows. As others have said, so many TV channels now and absolute sh*** on most of them. God Bless you Bobby. R. I. P. 🙏
We were so lucky with the number of talented performers we were able to watch growing up, shame variety is dead and we no longer have the singers, comedians/ double acts or variety acts today.
A Sparkling Performance From The Duo. Who Worked Extremely hard to reach their Zenith. I was Lucky to meet and work with them just as they were reaching Super stardom in late 1979. Sometimes you only realise The True Value of a Moment When it Becomes a Memory.
Unfortunately now Bobby has left us best of British comedy is now in heaven. Can't see the standard of comedy coming back. Rest in peace Bobby thanks for leaving lots of people with so many laughing moments.
I feel so blessed to have grown up in the 70's & 80's when despite only having 3 channels, tv was great, now it's hundreds of channels of absolute rubbish with very little family tv, R.I.P. Bobby, you brought joy & laughter to millions, thank you.
Bobby ballroom rapper.
I agree ,such a talented man so brilliant in not going out with that twickle in his eye
@Shahid Khan Everybody is entitled to their opinion.
I agree, I stopped watching TV 30 years ago. I literally can't remember the last time I saw a whole night of TV, I just don't watch it.
Mcantyre couldn't lace their boots
When the world was such a better place to live.
That’s what you call PROFESSIONALISM
Proper entertainment, absolutely wipe the floor with today's efforts!! RIP Bobby.
Couldn't agree more
@@paulgreen4859 th-cam.com/video/EMbzCZxov3A/w-d-xo.html
So tremendous - makes me cry laughing and tear up with sadness watching these two. Wonderful bygone times.
Got to me at the end, great entertainers thanks for the memories lads RIP Bobby ❤
I’ve got their autographs in the loft. Used to enjoy seeing them in Gr Yarmouth on holiday in the 80’s. Nothing like them anymore.
Rest in peace bobby we will never see the likes of them again no swear words no filth just plain comedy the best
I think the best days of the UK are behind us, sadly.
And the worst has just begun.....bobby escaped it sadly.Rip legend
IN A NUTSHELL M8
Agreed by a fair few
Nah....the best days are ahead.....change is coming;)
After darkness there is always is light
The golden era of comedy. It's genuinely funny, no unnecessary expletives. Wonderful
RIP lovely Bobby Ball, cruelly taken too soon with Coronavirus. Thanks for the decades of laughter.
i am so sick of that damn rotten virus....and p.c.ness...i didnt know he died frm that.....these guys were great....
@@miked4377 It took lovely Jethro and so many others too. The worst couple of years I can remember ever.
RIP Bobby Ball, another child hood memory gone.
this is a lost art .... itll never be repeated ... forever missed b.ball
this is so old school, you forget how much entertainment has changed
and not for the better.
@@8-bitsteve500 you took the words right out of my mouth! I'd buy a ticket in Heaven though to see Large and Ball!
@David Mander bit too clever for you that one then? Large and Ball are in Heaven? Cannon and Little not so much. Doh!
It's sad that we only appreciate these great entertainers when they're gone. Thank you Bobby & Tommy for the laughter
They were massively appreciated in the 70s and 80s .
Unlike you I appreciated them all the time

@@peteb8556 You little Liar. You've been told about gobbing off on the Internet.

They really were a polished act, so sad we will never see them together again.
A trick : you can watch series at Flixzone. Been using them for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.
@Ahmed Ryan Definitely, I've been watching on flixzone for years myself :D

Laugh me a laugh grin me a grin, RIP Bobby.
A real pleasure to have met you both at burnley mechanics & bobbys statue unveiling at lytham st annes. Thanks for the memories bobby. Rest in peace sir.
Wonderful, innocent humour, not an expletive or “ F” word anywhere
Someone once said that the key to immortality is to first live a life worth remembering.... I think Bobby ball achieved this. Gone but not forgotten.
Amen to that
Hours of rehearsal to get things that smooth very talented both of them

legends.bring back so many good memories, better then shit that's on TV now.
Well said mick
@@Mazza147 Thanks, R. I. P Bobby...
I agree, no swearing or racism to get a laugh. Just good old fashioned comic.

It was a family and show and that's what every family did back then sit down enjoy these shows together. Such a shame those days are gone.
Absolutely hit the nail on the head. X
TOMMY really was such a great straight man helping Bobby to show off his comedy Gift
Tommy is a great singer too 😀👍
R.I.P. to Bobby Ball and also to a brilliant double act. Their talent astounds.
Just wonderful these guys can wipe the floor with today's comedian's RIP Bobby
Today’s comedians just think their funny, RIP Bobby 😥 sadly missed but never forgotten.
Nobody can hold a candle to them
@@paulanthonylawrence9893 Not all of them, some ARE funny, you just don't like them.
That was really friendship, between two brilliant people who gave so much happiness to each other and the world.
Sadly, they fell out in the 80's, & didn't speak unless onstage, for several years!

In their absolute prime. Quick one liners and also the odd gag to make u think quick. Funny stuff.

We were so lucky with the number of talented performers we were able to watch growing up, shame variety is dead and we no longer have the singers, comedians/ double acts or variety acts today.
RIP Bobby thanks for always putting a smile on my face
