Ronnie Barker was a writing genus you should check out his sitcoms Porridge a British slang word for being in prison where he plays a career criminal teaching his younger cell mate how to survive in prison and constantly outsmarting the guards or open all hours where he plays a grocery shop keeper who's obsessed with money and the statuesque district nurse who lives across the street. His use of the character's speech impediment to completely change the meaning of a line of dialogue is comedy gold.
Going straight was the follow up to porridge
Open All Hours was a fantastic series 🤣
Both Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett were comedy geniuses. RIP both of them
The Two Ronnies was a show with some of the cleverest script writing of all time. We always looked forward to their shows and were never disappointed.
Ronnie Barker was a comedy genius, such a wordsmith. The fact that the complimented and bounced off each other, pure genius, doubt we will see it again, certainly not in my lifetime.
Yes the were the ultimate masters of spoonerisms.
I think Benny Hill too
Those "Jetson" covers are sound baffles. They were actually quite good - duck your head inside and they cut out a lot of the external noise, and stopped your voice travelling too far. Not seen them for a while...
Superman didn't like them.
@@ajivins1 I guess they are a bit public... 🤣
There’s alot of references non-Brits might not understand
1:34 Sainsbury's is a UK food store chain
2:10 A Bloomer is a type of bread (Ron C: Bloomers, 2 large. Ron B hears: Bloomers (women's underpants) too large
2:20 Ronnie Corbett refers to 20p bread rolls, whereas Ronnie Barker hears it as her "rolling around" for 20p
2:29 Hovis is a UK brand of bread
3:12 Tinned Pilchards (fish) are preserved in olive or sunflower oil
3:55 Fairy Liquid is a UK dish soap
4:14 flavours of crisps/chips
4:25 OXO is a UK brand of stock cubes
4:34 'butchers' is cockney rhyming slang, meaning to have a look or browse
AND Coxes Pippins are an apple 🍎
Not all of this was necessary as they laughed at most of the right spots but some of it might need explaining I suppose.
I honestly think Daniel gets uk humour more so than Spencer, it is what it is
@@chatteyj To be perfectly honest, I don't think for one second that Spencer actually "GOT" most of the funniest parts. Sadly, he's too dense and the fake laugh he blurts out after he hears Daniel laughing makes me cringe.
Ronnie Barker probably one of the greatest comedy writers and timers ever
Agreed
Nope...not by far.
@@Chookwoman I’m sure we’re all dying to hear who you prefer, but before you tell us, try to remember that opinion isn’t a universal truth. It’s perfectly ok for you to think someone is better without someone else being “wrong”, although, I have to remember, children have difficulty with imagining that a different point of view exists and plenty of parents allow their children unfettered access to the internet. So who is it Pauline? Mr Tumble?
After Four Candles, this is probably my favourite Two Ronnies sketch :D
I did notice you looked a little confused at the pilchards joke. A pilchard is a fish that's usually kept in a tin of oil, similar to sardines. And in case you didn't know, "having a quick butcher's" is Cockney rhyming slang. Butchers > butchers hook > look. This sketch is just full of subtle innuendo and I love it :P
Also recommend Swedish Made Simple, The Plumstead Ladies' Male Voice Choir and Your Nuts Milord.
And the two tea ladies playing everything on their 'orchestral' tea trolley!
Name dropper?
@@slayerrocks2 Gonna be honest, can't believe I forgot about that one
@@RS14988 they did one that would be useless for an American reaction where they reeled off a load of TV programmes, in a Shakespearean play.
"Coronation's treat" etc.
Not seen that for years.
Not to forget the Squash match!
So lovely (if not rather surreal) to watch you two laughing at what I was brought up on. Nice one lads. All we need now is Barbara Dickson to start singing!
They always had Barbara Dickson!! Oh that takes me back!
My Gran and Great Aunt worked with Barbara Dickson before she was famous.
@@Fiona-fi ...With Elaine Paige popping up every now and then.
They specialise in clever word play. Especially when the sketch is written by Ronnie Barker (the taller one) under his code name Gerald Whiley.
It was written by David Renwick
I don’t belieeeeeeeeve it!
😉
One of the running sketches in their shows was The Phantom Raspberry Blower of Old London Town - marvellous!
Classic now
I was just thinking about that sketch when I saw this. It is absolutely hilarious!
meh that got old quick
No spike Milligan did the raspberries. He gets credited at the end of it
@@sliverwolf1992 Cheers Silver Wolf I didn't know that
Two Ronnie's round of drinks is another funny clever sketch guys. 🤣
Yeah that one's a cracker! 😂
I remember going with my then wife on a sunday night to the BBC studios in west London. it was great watching the recording of the show. real laughter from us in the Audience. Some of the best bits were just to keeps us laughing whilst one of then went and changed. Many great bits were never filmed or broadcast.
When you watch that episode on your television set, do you hear yourself laughing?
They finished a lot of their shows with a song on a theme.They’d dress up in all sorts of get ups and were very funny too.
Every show in every series contained absolute belters.
From Ronnie Barker's public service broadcasts, to Ronnie Corbett's meandering joke and the musical finale which often contained choreography as well as comic songs.
They were brilliant. I miss them. :(
Haven't seen those 'helmut' 'phone booths for decades (certainly not since the advent of the mobile 'phone) but do remember using them back in the day and they did provide excellent sound insulation in crowded places...this is a great sketch and reaction by the way !
If I remember correctly they were common in airports and hotel lobbies, they looked so futuristic at the time but now they scream 1970's/80's.
The two Ronnie's were indeed awesome, such clever words play, I think you would love their Mispronounciation sketch it is an epic word play sketch.
This sketch is indeed brilliant but it was written by David Renwick who also wrote the Mastermind sketch and created "One Foot In The Grave" amongst others.
One Foot in the Grave is another sitcom that certainly worth a look.
One of their most memorable lines for me is when they're dressed up as two Scottish women and they're singing about Scotsmen and they come out with the hilarious line of "....where all the jocks are strapping....". The obvious double entendre in that one very small line is just so funny, isn't it? 👍🤣👍🏴🇬🇧
This sketch would probably work with mobile phones too in the right setting. Something for comedians to consider for future sketches.
Comedic geniuses!
The Two Ronnies were must see telly when I was growing up they and Morecombe and Wise would attract 11-15 million plus viewers for their shows especially the Christmas Specials!!...Also you must look for Tommy Cooper! Basically the greatest British Comedian of all time! (In my opinion!)👍👍 well done chaps!👍
Just like that!
The 'Hats' routine!
I wouldn't say that that Tommy Cooper is the greatest British comedian of all time, I'd pick Lee Evans. However in my family there was an inhouse joke that Tommy Cooper (due to the uncanny resemblance) was my Grandfathers 'funny side' as my grandad looked JUST like him but hardly ever laughed and was very stern and strict, never told jokes at all and was always serious and had an anger problem. We'd say Tommy is his lighter funny side and we got saddled with the dark side.
Ronnie Barkers sit coms Porridge and Open all hours ,still stands the test of time ,you 2 would love them ,he was as you say a comic genius
I'm not sure that you'd be able to react to it, but if you can, totally watch porridge. Ronnie Barker is excellent, in fact genius in it
My whole family loved watching them when I was young. Ronnie Barker was a very talented man
If you want to see Spencer confused as hell, try The Two Ronnies London Tube stations, where the two of them name nearly every London tube station in a long play on words, e.g. "He was Epping mad" (Instead of F***ing mad), and his old lady is an Aldwych (old witch), Turnham Green (yes he puked everywhere). Even seasoned Brits outside London struggled getting all the jokes. Would love to see what you guys make of it. The Two Ronnies also did a silent slapstick film called By The Sea, which might cause you to wet yourself laughing.
This along with Mastermind and Four Candles are my favourite Two Ronnies sketches.
Haha really glad you checked out this sketch its probably one of my favourite Two Ronnies sketches, please check out the squash sketch its a lesser known but equally funny Two Ronnies sketch.
You should try to see some Morecambe and Wise especially the one sketch with Andre Previn
They were known for the very clever wordplay. "Cerebral" is the word you used, and it's spot on. The great thing is that though it's very cerebral, everyone can understand the joke. And that's genius.
You have to do the 'Mispronunciation Sketch' next. A brilliant example of Ronnie Barker's wonderfully clever mind.
Comediens from the previous generations were very, very, clever people and came up with outstanding things to entertain us. English comedy from the 70's and 80's might not translate to you gents over the pond, but, as you appreciate good comedy, this might not be much of a problem and still have you laughing. Also, if you haven't reacted to them yet, please, please, please look up some 'Hale and Pace' and if you have reacted already, please do some more :D
Loved the Two Ronnies. Two comedy Geniuses. Sad they are no longer with us.
Ronnie Barker (the big one) was a genius for writing clever word-play comedy.
Very clever, hilarious double act. Great to see you guys enjoying our English humour
The round of drinks where Ronnie B gets the order hilariously wrong is genius
I absolutely LOVED watching the Two Ronnies when I was growing up. The comedy was so sharp and just made me laugh so easily. It's a rare thing to see comedians do something so seamless as this.
All I can say is watch as much of The Two Ronnies as you can. They were on telly for many years so there's plenty to go at. Ronnie Barker wrote under the name of Gerald Wiley which is a name often seen in the credits. He kept this secret from everyone for many years, submitting material by mail only, until he accepted an invitation to a meeting at the BBC where everyone was excited at the prospect of finally meeting this Gerald Wiley. Just before they went into the meeting he took Ronnie Corbett to one side and told him he thought he should be the first to know that he was in fact Gerald Wiley which I think was an incredibly respectful thing to do to acknowledge his partnership with Ronnie C before anyone or anything else. I'd also recommend you watching Ronnie Barker's speech after accepting his BAFTA for Lifetime Achievement Award that was presented to him by Ronnie Corbett and David Jason who he described as, "my two best friends," and to watch it without getting at least a lump in your throat. The Two Ronnies were remarkable comic performers and we will never see their like again. Feast yourselves on as much of them as you can.
If you like this kind of humour, you'll love their sketch Irish Pub. It's pure genius.
Two Ronnies - Pronunciation Problems is another classic wordplay sketch. Also Two Ronnies - Irish Pub, is really fun
For really clever wordplay try The Two Ronnies ‘The Strange Case Of Mrs Mace’ & ‘Ponting Punting’, how they remembered the script was very impressive.
Ronnie Barker was in a sitcom based in a prison called Porridge . It’s considered one of Britain’s finest sitcoms. I’m surprised no one has reacted to it. Put it on your list for Patreon.
A couple of the ruder jokes you may have missed:
_"She was wearing a cross-your-heart bra?"_
_"I thought it said OXO"_ *[a type of beef stock - a brilliant visual gag 🙂]*
_(About the dog) "I bet he bites people doesn't he?"_
_(About apples) "And Cox's Pippins"_ *[a type of apple, but sounds like "cocks his pippins"]*
My fave show as a child. 56 now and still miss seeing the two Ronnie's. Corbett is small Barker is tall
Absolutely Genius, love those guys. (I mean the Two Ronnies but you two are pretty good too)
They were geniuses when it came to comedy! Thanks for the reminder! Xx
the two Ronnie's are fabulous there shows are amazing
Love to have a beer with you guys. Big fan of your channel. Keep up the good work guys.
One of the good things in their show was that they did bits on their own too. Ronnie Barker did monologues in character (he wasn't keen on being himself in front of the camera) and Ronnie Corbett did his story while sat in his low chair (not in character).
Well actually Ronnie B wrote quite a bit under the name of Gerald Wiley no one knew who it was including Ronnie C here wanted anything he'd written judged equally as with the other script writers. The two of them met by chance on Sir David Frost live show as everything was back in the 60's and before, they worked with a number of people on his show including John Cleese, Ronnie C and his wife worked at a few clubs in the West End of London, Anne Hart appeared in The Crazy Gang I think she was already married, and then married Ronnie C, however he was one of the lead men in a nightclub which my late friend owned, they'd previously worked before in other clubs, and when Dan bought his club Ronnie worked there. Look up Danny La Rue, he passed away in 09 and we were friends from the 1970's
Very clever comedy and no bad language in it. Genius.
but PLENTY of innuendo, which Smith and Jones in later sketches parodied brilliantly! 😂
It warms my heart that you like The Two Ronnies.. Ronnie Barker is a hero of mine! :)
There was one sketch where Ronnie Corbet took his Blackberry to Ronnie Barker for repair. Only ever saw that once but it had us rolling on the floor laughing!
Swear Box and Round of Drinks are my two favourite two ronnies sketches
The two Ronnie's were a staple of my childhood.
It makes me so happy seeing you guys getting to know our old English humour that our parents and grandparents brought us up on! Love it!
Ronnie barker the larger of the two is a genius and he wrote most of they're skits some anonymouslyxx
I knew you 2 would love this 🤣
Ronnie Barker was an absolute genius, everything he touched was Gold, you should check out Porridge it was a master piece
Ronnie Barker wrote most of the scripts but John O'Sullivan of only fools and horses fame also wrote for the two Ronnies
I love the fact you guys watch The Two Ronnies! This was my childhood TV. 💜
That was BrilliAint gonna get my lines crossed don't worry fellas
Cheers for this great one!
As with many of these types of program both then an today, there were many writers of sketches for them. Sure they did a few of their own. However, the most prolific writer the producers bought from was Gerald Wiley. Ronnie Barker never influenced the purchases. When he died, it was announce that he wrote under that pseudo name. Check them out acting individually. Ronnie Barker in "Open all hours" and a few movie roles, for instance.
I love that you are embracing the classics. Ronnie Barker was fabulously talented as a writer and quite shy about his talents. You must must must check out the youtube video titled: A Bit of Fry and Laurie - Your name, sir? (Complete) I promise you won't regret it! Sending gratitude from Blighty!
They were fantastic and so so talented
You asked who wrote it. A great deal of their act was written by Ronnie Barker, the larger of the two Ronnies. He was a very clever writer of comedy sketches.
Love the reaction, if you haven't done their News at Ton sketch it is absolute genius!
The two Ronnie's based most of their comedy on wordplay and Rinnie Barker was a master at it (though they also used other writers including many of the Pythons).
Check out the Mispronunciation Sketch and The Ministry of Equality for a start.
The plastic bubbles around the phone are supposed to keep the conversation of the phone user private
Love the time and respect you give imo to my favourite double acts of all time, RB's wordsmith writing is genius, check out "round of drinks" but remember in the 70's when this was broadcast noone batted an eyelid at sexist remarks 🤗
Hi Fella's.Incase u wasn't sure Salnbury's is a large superstore here, (Grocery store).Also as U know they mostly do clever wordplay stuff.But sometimes it may go over your head because famous names & places mentioned from 40yrs ago would be unknown to u. There is sketch called 2 Ronnies Inventors Convention that is based on shear good comedy thats a bit rude in parts but it's as good as it gets.
Sainsbury's is a supermarket we have over here in the UK along with Tesco, Asda, Morrison's and Aldi which is the cheapest and are trying to compete at the moment.
Wow your name is appropriate.
no comedy double act, thanks mostly to Ronnie Barkers writing, can get close to the two ronnies, Even the great Morecambe and Wise, But one i think you should try, mostly because theyre from my Hometown, Oldham, near Manchester, is Cannon & Ball, sadly one of them, Bobby Ball, died of covid a couple of years ago, but one of my earliest memories is seeing them on stage once and they briefly included me in their act. they knew their art.
Hi guys. Hovis is a brand of bread if you were wondering. We also say bun in the oven as slang for pregnant. Great reaction as always. Think this sketch is 35 plus years old. Porridge is a good shout as is the worm that turned and piggy malone which were skits in their show
The Taller Ronnie Barker wrote a great deal he would even send in jokes sketches under an assumed name so it was judged fairly
Amazing some of this stuff is 40 years old
It is nice to see you guys getting some laughs from UK comedy scene, including old stuff like this. Nice to see you enjoying it. It is a bit of a shame that the US - as an English speaking country too - never seemed to get much of the UK comedy scene. The US has some great comedy too of course, especially standup and comedy sitcom shows which we get a lot of here, but I think the UK has some of the absolute best comedy sketch shows and comedy game shows in particular.
Ronnie barker, the taller of the two is an absolute comedy genius. His writing skills were second to none. Ronnie Corbett was good but barker was a different class. Watch an episode of porridge to really appreciate how good he is!
Porridge definitely a Top 5 of classic uk comedy, actually Top 3 😁
Barker's Minister for the mispronunciation of words is one of the funniest dialogs ever. He was so good that he once accepted an award completely in character add lib.
The beauty is that while being incredibly clever to write this stuff, they make it so that we're not too dumb to watch it.
They were both brilliant together or apart.
This reminds me of the Peter Cook and Dudley Moore sketch of "Roger Braintree". Both brilliant!
Ronnie Barker was the absolute master of word play.
Whatsup fellas👌🏽🤘🏽great sketch choice, love it😂😂🤣🤣❤️
Irish pub is a brilliant one 👌🏼
You should also check out some of their solo sitcoms such as open all hours and porridge with Ronnie barker and sorry with Ronnie Corbett
I love there work but, " for some reason l could'nt laugh at the sitcom known as " Sorry" l did'nt get it?? And l don't know why🤔😐🙄👇
They were class.
I think you would really enjoy some of their musical ones...
You guys would love alot of the two Ronnie's sketches if you like this one! They have a few in this style, my favourite the shop where the man is looking for four candles
I'm impressed you got the English references.
One of my favourite Two Ronnies sketches, it is hilaroius
Those phone booths were all over the place in 70s and 80s.. if you were right size they gave some degree of privacy
I was obsessed with the Phantom Raspberry blower of Old London Town I waited for it every week as a kid.
Ronnie Barker my comedy hero, he also wrote for many other comedians
Hi Guys, it's nice too see you😀 They have great timing when they work together! Ronnie is
also great in the Sitcom " porridge" which is set in a Prison, we have so many great "Sitcoms under our belt we have the characters from the Catherine Tate Show,"Absolutely Fabulous,vicar of Dibley, The Office,FartherTed, Gime,Gime a man after Midnight,Only Fools & Horses and many more...
The longest sitcom in History ended in 2010 after 37 years.( shown on the BBC) the show gained a Guinness world record which it deserved!! " Thanks for making me laugh"😂🤣😅😃👍💋💋❤🏴
'Last of the Summer Wine'?
You could do a Two Ronnies sketch or two each week. Likewise Mitchell & Webb.
"Two Ronnies : Round Of Drinks" is another classic sketch.
“Namedroppers ”is another clever wordplay one of theirs. Also “Swedish made simple”
*Gents , checkout Rod Hull & Emu , they have been on Johnny Carson in the U.S. and many UK shows*
You two have gotta be the smartest people watching this xx
Hi your right guys he writing of their sketches was genius some written by Ronnie Barker under the name of Gerald Wiley I grew up in the 80s so the Two Ronnies was part of my childhood tv viewing love these shows now
