Ronnie Barker was a true wordsmith of the best kind, both sadly no longer with us. Much respect
Grew up watching The Two Ronnies every weekend, just loved them then, and their comedy is still gold today. And it was so simple inoffensive and harmless. Legends.
yep - the whole family would sit together and watch them
I am so jealous ...imagine having to catch up on 50 years of British comedy...each one brand new...
Epic position to be in, what I'd give to 'stumble across' Only Fools or Steptoe etc.for the first time
At least it isn't expanding, today's "comedy" is about as funny as a funeral!
have not seen the Video where they play squash very funny
I particularly like this one because you can see Barker holding back a laugh for about half of it. He knew what absolute gold this sketch is.
Seriously not kidding but every time you do the two ronnies I am howling with laughter too, they were the masters of comedy and in this day and age it is sorely missed.
The Two Ronnies and Morecombe and Wise where special , they made the simplest rubbish so brilliant and funny it was unreal , true comedy heroes
Don't forget Tommy Cooper.
@@capcompass9298 I didn't leave him out on purpose , I was referring to double acts, Tommy was another story completely , he like Les Dawson had a gift for making the complex look silly
@DigitalRageInc In English the words WERE and WHERE are spelled differently because they mean different things.
Funnily Enough, I realize Tommy was a great Magician who pretended he wasn't like Les Dawson was a great Pianist who pretended he wasn't but I could listen to Les forever and a day while I, rarely, laughed at Tommy tbh..although it did make me laugh when TC got out of a London Cab and said "Don't drive off, I am going to give you a drinl" and proceeded to get a tea bag out from his top pocket and give it to the cabbie :)
What about Les Dawson & Roy Barraclough as Cissie & Ada
Classic comedy duo,, I'm glad I grew up watching these two..
You have the best laugh ever🤣🤣
his laugh kinda reminds me of uncle Albert on only fools and horses 😁(no judgement or anything like that) absolutely love it
It's a genuine laugh unlike other reactions
@@markchapman6576 exactly. He seems like a fairly genuine, down to earth fella.👍
His laugh is the best tonic to a fix bad day at work.
@@robertmilne4304 it's good for the soul as they say (whoever they are)
Most people know this, particularly if you're from the UK, but for those who may be confused at the end, a "rubber" in the UK, is what the US would call an "eraser". And to "rub something out" means to "erase something".
RIP Ronnie Corbett and Ronnie Barker, most talented comedians of all time.
Is Corbett dead too?
@@VaderWhoop yes moto neurone disease in 2016.
@@stevenc5227 Sadly missed
@@stevenc5227 damn!
I haven't watched TV for over 10 years so I had no idea.
FORK HANDLES !
I loved the 2 Ronnie's growing up my gran let us stay up and watch .
Getting the Nun in the sketch to ask for the rubber is the kind of genius they truly were lol. In twenty years time it will still be just as funny.
Todays comedians are not patch on these two they are absolute legends
After Noddy.......you see the cutaway to the Nun.....nice setup for the punchline.
I can't help but wonder if you catch all the nuances of the humour in this sketch but delighted to see how much you enjoyed this classic and brilliant pair of the UK's greats.
this is wonderful. reminds me of train travel to work in London in 1980s It’s also a class thing. Sun vs FT
The wordplay is just incredible. Such intelligent comedy 🙂
How can anyone DISLIKE?? , , This channel is about a AMERICAN guy learning OUR british humour , and 9/10 he gets it . .and if EBR dont get it he says and us as a English watchers tell him the context of the jokes/humour ... & EBR laugh is the best on the interweb PERIOD!!! and he is learning...More 2 ronnies i say... to live here in england we talk english but we rarely mean what our words say . . .EBR just leaning . . . LOVE the channel . LOVE the content.. KEEP LEARNING
Yeah, that laugh, wow, totally genuine, not faked at all.
These two never get old😂
Clicked so fast. The joy of the Two Ronnies combined with your laugh!
Classic 70’s/80’s English humor. Beautifully written and performed. Some of the jokes will be missed by non-Brits, like reference to page 3 of The Sun newspaper. And by the way, a rubber is the same as an eraser, not something that you put on your seven down, four letters, D, something C, K
Deck?
@@ba55bar Duck.
Dock?
They was legends
Ronnie Barker was a comedy genius and a true wordsmith, no one could or can come close to he’s play on words
Corbetts monologues were a masterclass of timing
They worked well together, so many of their sketches were brilliant.
If you like Ronnie Barker (the large one, the smaller one is Robbie Corbett, hence the Two Ronnies) you should checkout Porridge (a series where he played a prison inmate) or "Open All Hours" where he played an elderly randy shopkeeper.
6:57 Just for clarity, a rubber in the UK is an eraser, not what you call a rubber, I doubt a nun would have much use for that.
Last thing I saw Ronnie C in was Burke and Hare with Simon Pegg an Andy Serkis.
You have such an infectious laugh bro, The video and yourself were equally funny. 😋😀👀😁
It’s nice to see you discover the Two Ronnies... I grew up on this stuff, and it shows that modern comedy writers have a long way to go to beat this! There’s a whole heap more to discover!
Absolute legends sorely missed.
The Ronnie on the left anonymously sent in scripts to the show and the production team said that “we have to get this chap to be on the team.” He was already in the show but did not want them to use his scrips knowing it was him.
Aw that’s cute. What a talented man xox
George Wiley was the name he used to send his scripts in.
@@michaelcooper6800 Ronnie Barker arranged a meeting at a chinese restaurant, as Gerald Wiley, for everyone concerned with the show, saying that his identity would be revealed. They were all sat down, but when Ronnie stood up and said that he was Gerald Wiley they all told him to sit back down and stop messing about. He had to stand up a second time before they would actually believe that he was the one sending in the scripts. He said he had done it so that the scripts would be accepted on their own merits. True Fact
do you get the irony of the newspaper "The Sun" it will give you even more humour
Ronnie Barker (the one in the bowler hat in this sketch) was a master at mannerisms and wordplay. With his "Arkwright" character in "Open all hours", his stutter once caught the attention of various speech therapists, all of which offered various methods for dealing with the speech impediment.
Stammer, not stutter.
@@gaynor1721 I've always wondered what the difference is between the two? Would you mind explaining it?
@@Torthrodhel Wh....wa.......wh.....wa....what?
@@Torthrodhel There isn't any, it's just british vs american english apparently.
@@DoubleMonoLR cheers.
I was so HOPING you’d do this one. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
"Rubber" innuendo aside, I love that the Nun was also doing the same crossword.
I agree, but just to be clear (in case you or anyone else isn't aware) "rubber" (English) = "eraser" (American), so the only innuendo involved was that the nun had written shit.
Nice spot. Gerald Wiley was a funny sod.
@@ilikethisnamebetter it was a play on words. The nun had indeed written "shit". Also, a nun asking for a condom. A very clever joke.
@@ilikethisnamebetter Exactly as you have explained, there was NO reference to a condom- , to the UK audience, for which of course the skit was intended, a rubber would only mean an eraser - nothing more.
@@colinwelsh2874 If it was intended (which I sincerely doubt) it would have been a gratuitous innuendo which, if it did anything, spoiled the actual joke.
They never fail so glad you have discovered them.
Thanks for the great upload and great reaction. I don't think there will ever be any greater word play comedians as these 2 legends. Such simplicity but the perfection in the way they deliver is best bar none 👍 this is the norm for people in the UK but seeing people's reactions from around the world and how much they love them is priceless
FYI the Sun is a tabloid which used to have topless models on page 3.
"The Sun" is a news paper here in the UK that has on page 3 a topless model. When this started it caused an outcry as we British were extremely prudes about anything relating to sex and nudity.
Pure comedy! How great that you’ve found these skits to watch.
"The Sun people only buy it for one thing.. or a couple of things" is a reference to a british newspaper that used to have a topless girl on page 3 everyday.
You make my day with your infectious laughter! Keep it up. More Only Fools & Horses. 👍🏼
Genuinely, it reminds me or time on train journey and I picked up a discarded newspaper to do crossword, it had already been started and when I read one of the answers already submitted, I laughed all the way to my destination.
The clue was:- male duck, 5 letters, the person wrote DAFFY.
I'm laughing now reminiscing.
👍😂🇬🇧🇺🇸
So glad you like our old school humour, it hasn't changed much. Really growing to your channel
Those were the days - my father travelled up to London from Bexhill-on-Sea every day, met the same men on the train doing their crossword puzzles. One day he brought out his "travellers" check game and from then on they took over a compartiment and played chess morning and evening - reminds me of the 2 Ronnies
What I love best - is the way they lead you to what you assume is the right answer and then shoot you down! Glorious
Your laughter is some glorious sound. Glad you enjoyed yourself
All throughout the sketch i was wondering what the punchline at the end would be. I really didn't see that one coming.
OMG, your laugh should be on prescription! 🤣🤣🤣. Makes my day every time 😂👍
Thanks for all the GREAT laughs you gave us, still looking up to you. CHEERIO CHEERIO. XXC
laughs
I love watching you getting off on our humour, because our guys have had so much trouble for so many years to break in to USA, but because they weren't understood
Two Ronnies....Swear Box is great, Crosslines is superb, squash is a classic, Swedish for beginners is clever plus any of the Bert & Charlie sketches
So miss these guys on the TV, great memories of sitting with my Dad, watching them and Only fools and horses crying with laughter.
Brilliant..no swearing filthy jokes..two Ronnie's.. in a class of there own.
Sir Your laugh is so infectious. Reminds me of the ship from Fight of the navigator. Thank you so much for brightening the day.
The opticians sketch is one of my favourites.
It's great to see you enjoying British comedy that we was brought up with from the 70s.True comedy .Carry on, Brilliant job.
The best part of your videos is you laughing your head off. Nice work man.
probably the best comedy duo ever in the UK Ronnie barker was a genius
love watching your reactions, so good to see others enjoying them, that Ronnie Barker was a brilliant writer.
Yep, I agree. We Brits who lived through this period of UK comedy during the 70s 80s and 90s were blessed with true wit, humour and command of language suitable for all audiences. You're unlikely to find the same calibre of talent in todays comedians... I hope other Brits of a certain age reading this will suggest other great names in British comedy worth viewing - Leonard Rossiter of 'Rising Damp'. I'm soooo glad I watched these incredible artists - and, of course, the legendary Benny Hill...
and what about Yes Minister, and Mind your Language.@@bluediamond8557
EB live your videos, 2 Ronnie's
Classic Clips ...Hilarious...😂🤣🤣
Mate besides the ronnies being absolute masterclass comedy I don’t if I’m laughing at them or your infectious laugh keep it up
I only watch this to hear you laugh at " Strange animal found in a hive" hahahahahahah
Nose - It's red, it smells, and you can pick it in the garden. Genius.
You'd love Morcambe and Wise' sketch they did with Andre Previn - it's funny :P
Andre Preview
Yeah, the Andre Previn sketch is their best imho
I am playing all the right notes.. NOT Necessarily in the right order
timeless comedy performed by two of the great masters of the form
Ronnie Barker used to write a lot of the sketches himself under the pseudonym Gerald Wiley. Nobody else in the cast or crew knew this for years. A true comic genius.
Brilliant , 😂😂.Thanks for the post 👍👍
You will never see a complaint from me. Love these guys and everything they do.
A similar joke… a priest and a businessman on a train, each doing a crossword:
Priest: I’m stumped, the clue is “four letters for a woman”, ends in “unt” … can you help?
Man: Aunt.
Priest: Of course! …do you have an eraser?
The Two Ronnies comedy was top notch
I've seen these sketches dozens of times, but watching you react is like watching them all afresh again. Kudos to you sir.
Can I make the recommendation of Piano playing by the great Les Dawson (king of the mother-in-law gags). He was a fantastic piano player and the talent it took to play the wrong notes at the right was ridiculous.
Les Dawson an absolute genius. I think Eclectic Beard will love him. 😄
the two ronnies musicals are funny as hell
Thanks so much for sharing this, brilliant. They were very special. 👍😊🤣
The Two Ronnies was the best double act ever you need to see more of them.😁👍
To clarify british news papers page three used to always have a topless model pic
The sun is a tabloid newspaper and up until very recently they had a topsless model on page 3.
Content for the joke regarding what pecks holes in milk bottles "tits". (Blue tits a type of bird, dunno if u have them in the states, also boobs)
Blue Tits are native to Europe and Asia, so will only be seen in America where a human has imported one.
However, the wider "tit" family is present in America but more commonly known as chickadees.
Christmas day in Britain no-one watched the Queen, but everyone watched the two Ronnie's.
this sketch exemplifies the class system as it was seen at the time, and then ridicules it. Its the perfect next step on the road of the Frost report (and Cleese) sketch that introduced the Two Ronnies in the first place.
These two surely must rank in the top 3 of British comedy geniuses. They worked together *so* well, and Ronnie Barker - the big one - co-wrote many of the sketches. Utterly brilliant.....
When I lived in California and asked if anyone had a rubber I got some strange looks.
The swear box in a pub is funny. All the bad words are beeped out in different ways depending on how bad a word was used.
The last character made that sketch!
Tough day made good by watching this. Thank you Mr EB👍
So hillairious and you laughing makes it even better they were great thank you keep safe 😃✌
When I'm down I just watch you laughing then I feel great again 😆
Absolute genius of comedy. Legends.
I love your laugh, so infectious. 😂
for non-brit viewers - the references to the Sun Newspaper - in the 70s it was infamous for "Page 3" which featured a large daily photograph of a topless woman
Noddy was a cartoon for context, books as well which I read when I was young
This was the gold standard back in the 70s. Saturday night, 8.15. Brilliant show. What utter bollocks we have now! Porridge. Open All Hours. Even Sorry. Rising Damp. Rose and Fall of Reginald Perrin. Now.
Anyone else like these uploads before you’ve watched them? I do... always good content
I remember seeing this one on the telly some forty odd years ago. Ffunny then and still ffuny now!
Your belly laugh is good medicine
I love to watch how much you enjoy our British comedians. I've seen all these clips, but I laugh all over again laughing with you.
Funny never seen these before lol thanks for sharing.
I love your reaction to this sketch, I am also howling!
I was wondering if this would make an appearance. Great sketch!
Two legends, RIP two Ronnie's.
Check out the squash match video with the two Ronnies, hilarious.
Your laugh Mr electric Beard.. is amazing you crack me up..( does your wife hear you laugh ya head off at the two Ronnie's
Fantastic writing, so clever, 👌 so glad u enjoy British humour
They were brilliant, great reaction
You might have the best laugh I’ve heard
Jimmy Carr.
People on this channel complaining about The Two Ronnies? Uh!?! TTR were genius wordsmiths and comedians. More please!
