It's so delightful to see a room full of absolute pros in the comedy game just being in awe of dear Ronnie here. Lee in particular is like a kid on christmas morning to be talking to Ronnie Corbett about candles, it's such a delight watching someone's childhood dream come true.
Right at the beginning of the video Julian Clary laughs at Ronnie Corbett’s comment “Boys usually shoot up at the age of 14 or 15 don’t they”, presumably because of the drug connotation.. 😂
Watch the full clip elsewhere. The first time he says it he laments that it took the audience too long to get it. It is cut in this clip, but if you look for the one where Ronnie says he took a class to get taller, you’ll see the whole “shouting up” thing.
LOL What kind of shop do you go in and ask for 4 candles? Surely, even a candle shop, has shelves with candles on them where you can choose and pick the ones you want. It's like going to a supermarket service desk and asking for 2L of milk.
Remember that in many British shops, goods are kept in a back room and are retrieved by an attendant at the customer's behest. It's still true of shops that use a catalogue, either inn print or online, to advertise their wares. I ran into this last year when I was visiting Edinburgh and needed to buy a charging cable.
I knew it was a lie when he said Addiscombe Road as there are no shops on that road. Now, if he said Lower Addiscombe Road, well, that's another story, plenty of shops there! There are lots of candles to be had there. What's more, you can probably get fork handles as well. That would have been more of a conundrum.
You don't ask the man in the shop for things anymore. You take them from the shelf and put them on the counter. It's sad but the joke no longer works as well as it once did.

Surely, you must be refering to another clip. In this one they aren't talking about candles, just handles.
Yeah, he wasn't just a brilliant comedian and performer but a genuinely lovely person.
I've just recently started watching old sketches by the Two Ronnies. They were great!
Some people are naturally loveable. It’s a very interesting and amazing thing. Ronnie is one of them.
Ronnie was just a treasure.
It was legendry when the sketch was first done and Ronnie Corbett just kept that legend alive, a master class in comedy!
Discovered this program a week ago and so happy to see new content still being posted.
This is very old content.
@@ohnono yes but it was posted this week.
@@OffRampTourist If you haven't yet, check out the channel WILTY? Nope! They've been posting stuff for years before this channel started up

It would be much more likely a 'sexual innuendo' laugh.

Doesn't Ronnie Corbett do an amazing Ronnie Corbett impersonation?
I've seen better
Total legend
Word on the street is that he was actually looking for knockers 😉
He absolutely has to go into a shop and ask for fourkandles!
fucking hell it's *such* a good joke in the right hands
The question still hangs in the air today.
I love him. Still making everyone laugh.
NOW I get it!!🤣😅😆
1:09 to 1:30
Was the best comedy gold that this show ever created
I knew it was a lie. It was too good to be true
Answers every question with '... four candles'
No he said fork handles

Think of the shop like more of a 'general store'.

Is there not somebody in your life that could take you aside and try to explain comedy?
@@bren106 goodness gracious. Is there no one in your life to stop you from embarrassing yourself? It was a joke, you numbnut.
Love this.❤
What a braw show love this show 👏🏼
What a legend

You know what, I bet you could write a really comical sketch about that. 😏
@@jaidee9570 I could, but it would turn out to be total bullhooks.
Said by a true Croydonian
@@jaidee9570 A sketch about the different names of roads in Croydon?
Why would anyone need four handles?
That's too many.
I was more disappointed that this was a lie than when my first crush turned me down!
This segment was just brilliant
I think if they hadn't have put on the card: "last week", then it could have been believable
charming
So did he lie about four candles or fork handles?
fourckhandles
Yes.
Neither.
Ronnie Corbet got it wrong, its 'no, handles for forks'.
handles for folks
He said he went to a hardware store. That's the clue!!!!!!! Since when you go to a hardware store to buy candles!!!!
Ahhh, but fork handles...
What sort of sub-par hardware stores do you go to that don't also sell candles, fuses, batteries and general goods?
🤣❤
You don't ask the man in the shop for things anymore. You take them from the shelf and put them on the counter. It's sad but the joke no longer works as well as it once did.
Not all shops are the same. Screwfix and Argos spring to mind.
calm down lee
Nobody has ever questioned why you’d buy handles for forks. This has all been based on a lie for years.
Garden forks have handles which might need replacing?
Garden forks...
Oh my days can’t tell if sarcasm or not 🤦
@@mikegibbons9860 Damn it you’re right! I’ll give up trying to be a smart guy .
@@hawsrulebegin7768 th-cam.com/video/gi_6SaqVQSw/w-d-xo.html These ones
lee can't say 'one' ie WUN.
So obviously a lie... They only included that card to kill a once much loved skit...
you must be fun at parties
@@AymanB With a comeback that poor, I doubt you're any better
Yeah, it's definitely not still a much loved sketch.
Look at them all, _hating_ to have to refer to it.
Nobody would buy four candles, they would just buy a packet of them. I also think most people would buy a new fork, rather than replacing the handle.
you're living in a consumerist, disposable society with a wasteful mindset
Well, lahh-dee-dah.
Look at moneybags over 'ere and his _disposable_ garden tools.
Corrbit wasn't funny really Baxter did all the work .
Stanley?
Strange panel with Lee. A man looking like a woman. A woman looking like a man. What a world eh
Holly's quite feminine enough for me.
