How Ronnie B can say so many words so quickly and with such accuracy is beyond belief. Its shows the genius of the man. Just pure brilliance and with such impeccable timing from the 2 Ronnies
Quite often if you can follow their eye line in fact they reading it from a cue cleverly hidden from the camera. Don’t get me wrong, he’s brilliant but that’s an old and often used trick. Make it look like you’re talking back to the other person whereas in fact there is a cue card just to one side out of sight. And with a speech like that who would blame him…
*YES!* I was thinking the same thing! For maximum "punch", they should've ended the sketch right there. Considering the two Ronnies' comedic brilliance, I'm surprised they didn't see that.
This routine was done when they broadcast in Australia, hence the local references. But brilliant both of them. They were true entertainers who could sing and dance. They were up there with other talent like Morecombe and Wise, Dave Allen and Benny Hill. I feel it was The Two Ronnies which has led me to spend 50 years on stage as an actor and director. I am forever grateful.
Absolutely amazing memories, I know they rehearse but still. This kind of wordplay became second nature to both of them, they had extremely brilliant minds, especially Ronnie Barker, his writing styles of comedy writing then acting was impeccable, he could see his audience, he knew us very well, making their comedy timeless.

That's a very British trait, common among the comedy greats! Not necessarily ALL can do it, but the greatest comedians can! Ronnie B and Ronnie C are DEFINITELY among whom I would consider examples of the greatest British comedians! Even in standup or quickfire challenges.... not shows like this which are actually scripted and rehearsed before filming! :p
Ronnie Baker is always good at long sentences and difficult words. I am in a fix thinking over his perfect delivery of scene in one shoot when the technology was not even good as today
All this present dsy "good technology" is making a lot of us too lazy to apply ourselves. Now they're developing ways of making films without actors by using lifelike human looking animation..

Brilliant! Many years ago I had the great pleasure of attending a one man show by Ronnie Corbett at the New Wimbledon Theatre on The Broadway when we lived within walking distance on South Park Road Just off of Haydon's Road. A truly delightful evening.
I was very young when these were on telly.I did not expect to still find them so funny-they have worn very very well.If anything they are even funnier..
To any foreigners out there, if there’s one thing the United Kingdom of Great Britain’s famous for it’s we have famous comedic duos. Hale and Pace, the Two Ronnies, Morecambe and Wise, Ant and Dec, Mitchell and Webb, Harry and Paul, Smith and Jones, Miller and Armstrong, Fry and Laurie etc...😊🇬🇧
The two ronnies remind me of being a young kid, my grandparents, parents etc used to love em. They were one of the few double acts were both of them were equally brilliant, they never carried each other, just bounced off each other. Total comedy gold
British comedy at its best. They don’t make them like they used to not do they have the same talent like they used to! Life hey!? Everything comes to an end
I think Ronnie Corbett's aim was to repeat exactly but he flubbed his lines very slightly. Ronnie Barker also stumbled a bit at the beginning of the orang-utang sentence. A lot of extras were involved in this scene, and they may have wanted to do fewer retakes on that account.

+Clive Bindley How the heck did Ronnie Barker remember all that and yet deliver it with such a fluid tongue? It is amazing actually. People may not appreciate the excellence behind the humour. I can't think of any other comedic duo like these two, can you? Very exceptional comedians with superb verbal skills and dialogue with clever wordplay. Agape Andrew.
That's the tongue twister I use to get my Chinese students' tongue rolling! Plus the, "Blue lorry, Yellow lorry, Red lorry" one as well! They find it so difficult to pronounce the letters L and R! They mix them both up! But we have alot of fun during our classes. Since the lockdown, I've only been able to have my classes online. I'm single and I live alone with my cat. I really miss the interactions between my students and I. Thank God that I'm a loner too! So the only difference since the lockdown is that I don't go down to the library. The condo where I live has alot of facilities. Pool, tennis and badminton courts, snooker and ping pong room, gym and a cafeteria etc. So there's hardly any reason for me to go out!

Interesting. I read that R. Barker wrote all the word-play sketches; he loved them. Perhaps these were co-written? Just a thought, as there’s so little information from those days.

“I bought a calendar in Tamworth yesterday.”

Do you know what, the auto-generated captions did a pretty good job! Maybe its because the Ronnie's enunciate really well
Which considering Ronnie C was from Scotland is quite an achievement.
One of the funnest skits ever!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🍻🍻👌👌🤭

He also misses "2 remarks"
