01:48 The reference to the Sun newspaper being bought for a "couple of things", and "two across" getting "see what I mean" comment is down to the fact that the Sun newspaper used to feature a topless model on its page 3.
Our milk used to be delivered (and sometimes still is) by the milkman using a milk float/van to carry the bottles - the bottles were glass and had a thin metallic lid which the birds (blue tits) could peck at to get to the milk - The Sun newspaper had a topless model on page 3 - you're doing well understanding the 2 Ronnies as a lot of their skits were about things/people which were topical at the time
Noddy in Toyland was a famous series of children's books in the 50's & 60's later made for TV, written by the author Enid Blyton. Only older people of a certain age remember it now (including me).
Oh, I remember it, together with Andy Pandy (time for bed, really?), Muffin the Mule (legal I'm assured), Bill and Ben and their weed - I used to trot home from primary school (and no, I was not a teacher) to watch them as a young boy.
I recall reading a story written by an American where there's a scene about somebody's love life that included the line "[the town's] rubbers ran out." I first thought that meant his efforts to write love letters were compromised.
Pick holes in bottle tops refers to birds (tits are birds) you used to peck holes to steal the milk/cream when bottles where glass and delivered to the doorsteps.
In the UK we used to get our milk delivered every morning. The milkman, driving an electric milk float (since about the 1930’s!) would leave your pre ordered bottles on your front door step. But birds figured out that by pecking the foil top, their beaks could break through and they could drink from the top, which was thick Keith cream because as it separated, the cream rose to the top.

Connar, regarding “Milk Bottle Tops”. In Britain until about 25 years ago, most milk was delivery to your house every morning by a “Milkman” in Milk Bottles with an ‘aluminium foil cap’. In some parts of the country it still is, but about 95% + of milk is not sold in plastic containers and bought from supermarkets. In most parts of the country, the “Milkman” like other traditional merchants (baker, butcher, green grocer, etc.) in a thing of the past. There is in Britain spices of Finch (a bird) named the Eurasian ‘Blue Tit’, that over the course of about 50 years, evolved to ‘specialise’ in pecking through the aluminium foil cap’ on the top of full bottles of milk, as a source of food, and drinking the milk. When Milkman delivered milk in the mornings by leaving the full milk bottles at your front doorstep; and collecting the empty milk bottles left for collection. It’s to this is what the joke is referring. It does not happen anymore. But someone, has made a nostalgic simulation of what used to happen. This use to be common across all of Britain.

The tit family of birds are the same as chickadees. The reference to the Sun newspaper is that they featured “page three girls,” who were almost always topless.
Well, in Thorburn's Illustrated Book of Birds, the little pecker of holes in milk bottle tops is named as Titmouse. There are various types ranging from 'Blue', 'Crested', 'Great' and 'Marsh'. The ones that I and most people have experienced pecking holes in the foil top of a bottle of milk are chiefly 'Blue Tit' and Great Tit'. I don't know exactly why 'mouse' was removed from the bird's name, if it was only used by ornithologists and never was in common usage. The birds were after the cream at the top of the milk bottle, mostly in the cold winter weather. Of course, being since Ronnie C's crossword is from The Sun newspaper - previously mentioned by Bernard Wooley in the newspaper scene in Yes Prime Minister - "Readers of The Sun don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big tits" you'll recognize a cross-reference here regarding "Page Three" and their daily topless model. Such a daily institution has now been exsponged . . Sorry . . . expunged!
Titmouse tended to be a regional name, the mouse part was simply a reference to the ubiquitous nature of the bird. Tit is an older word, meaning tiny. A common "tit" in The States is known as the 'Chickadee'. SEE : WC Fields.

Another famous British comedian Stanley Baxter is well worth checking out. I worked as a stage manager on two series called 'The Stanley Baxter Picture Show' which were broadcast back in 1972 on ITV. Stanley Baxter was the best comedian of the 1970s and 1980s and we worth viewing his comedy sketches.
He was getting criticized for doing a crossword in a horrendous newspaper, turns out she was too and it finishes with a Nun asking to borrow a rubber, the obvious play on words that you pointed out.
It's still quite common to have your milk delivered in the UK alongside your eggs, orange juice, bread and morning papers etc, at least where I live anyway
And don't forget (as well as) Mr. Plod, the policeman; His other friends, Tessie Bear, Bumpy Dog and the Tubby Bears. Plus, 'Big Ears' was based on a Scottish 'Broonie'...
You are certainly finding “Anglo Saxon” AKA “English” a bit tricky🥴 I think it’s because You Guys weren’t exposed to many British films and TV programmes. … Not Your Fault 🤗 just ask us for interpretations and we will provide 👍😁. Glad you are enjoying our comedy shows 😊
Yes i know the difference but i have lived in America for long periods. You would not be expected to know the difference with rubber which is an eraser in America,but you worked it out anyway..well done .Also you would not be expected to know about the blue tit or the page three nudes in the Sun newspaper.
Jasper Carrott used to tell a joke about a time he was in America. He went into a shop and asked for a rubber. The shop assistant, rather confused, said, "Just one?" Jasper replied, "Yes. I don't make many mistakes!"
Rubber = eraser, something that gets rid of pencil marks or writing. Milk botte tops are thin small circular slices of metal that cover old fashioned milk bottles that British people used to have, and still have to this day.
As far as the "rubber" issue... I moved to North America when I was quite young, and when I went to school I got in quite a bit of trouble for asking for a rubber in class.
When he said you only buy The Sun (newspaper) for one thing or should I say two, he's talking about the page 3 girls, the Sun always used to have a topless woman, and they got pretty famous from being on there too (Sam Fox, Linda Lusardi etc), after many great years they suddenly covered their boobs and became a bikini picture, I don't think they're even there anymore.
The crossword confusion of **it for grit was an age-old joke often told as an exchange between a bishop and his curate. Ronnie Barker wears a bowler hat in the manner of a city gent which at the time of this sketch was still a from of dress in London's commercial district.
The sun by the way used to have a page 3 girl which was basically a topless girl everyday on page 3 thats why people laughed when he said people only buy that for a couple of things
The newspaper the "sun" used to have a topless model showing her breast, so the pun about the milk bottle top was your find the answer on page three, meaning about the milk bottle, four-letter word something, something, t, s, would have been tits, as in the bird pecking at the cover of a milk bottle covered with a silver foil top, and the bird is one of the tit species such as blue tit, coal, tit, great tit, etc.
The answer to the milk bottle tops clue is 'tits', as in small birds (which I believe are called 'chickadees' in the US). The Sun is well known for having a picture of a topless woman on page 3, and 'tits' is also a slang word for breasts
Milk bottles used to be delivered to your door. They were glass bottles, recycled with aluminium tops. A bird called a Blue Tit would often poke its beak through this top to get at the top layer of milk. The joke has a double meaning because The Sun newspaper also used to have a nude woman on page 3. How times have changed.
Suggest you go further down the British humor rabbit hole and look at the Marty Feldman, bishop of no fixed abode sketch. He was genius, worked with the Monty Python crew back in the day.
I dont think in general you do that badly, there is always some things that will slip by you and at least you have the courage to ask, which as you say you are trying to learn so no apology is necessary. on a different subject I noted you like history and archaeology well we used to have a factual program in the UK called "Time Team" which is hosted by Tony Robinson (who played Baldrick).

Glass milk bottles had a silver foil top that birds would peck to get at the milk. Milk was left on the doorstep. You do say a rose smells nice, and a rubber is what Americans call, an eraser. I'm not surprised you did not get the jokes, but it is funny.
The newspaper he was doing the crossword in was "the sun", it use to have a pic of a topless model on page 3 until the woke brigade got their way, it's also seen as the working class newspaper. Hence the reference, "there's two reasons you read the sun, and they are on page 3".
I think any of these English videos are going to be difficult for you because humour is the most difficult thing in any language and Britain and America are two nations separated by a common language!. If you had some one that could sit in real time and explain stuff pretty sure you would get so much more out of it . (Well done "spotting" the rubber!). Budgie is Budgerigar (small bird).
I imagine it rather difficult for Americans or anyone really for that matter, to understand English humour if you're not English, it's simple but complex simultaneously, but respect for watching and persevering with our comedy, it's the best really haha. Good videos mate☺️
I'm a kiwi and have no problem with British humour at all. To be fair though I only watch British humour, and you also have to be au fait with current news and historical information.
Yes, you are quite right - the two Ronnie's humour is very much based on typical British conditions - probably also easy to understand for Aussies and Kiwis since they are part of the commonwealth, but at times incomprehensible to the rest of the world. However, there is indeed British humour that is not restricted entirely for Brits to understand - e.g. Monty Python/Fawlty Towers and Benny Hill; those are what I'd call "universal humour".
I do admire you for sticking with the older humour, a lot of the reference points are even out of date for a younger British audiences, never mind a young American. The fact you get more, rather than not, is admirable!
