American Reacts | MY BLACKBERRY IS NOT WORKING - BBC | Reaction 

The customer was Ronnie Corbett, the shopkeeper was Harry Enfield (you saw him in the sketch about women). Ronnie Barker (who was the other Ronnie) has already passed away. The sketch was in his style and it was tribute to him. And yes, Harry was trying to keep his face straight when Ronnie was talking about his dongle.

The best Two Ronnie's sketch is Mastermind answering the question before last

Brilliant reaction. Orange was a UK phone network. Black-spots are areas without signal, and a dongle is a USB flash drive 😅 It amazes me that there's never a wasted word in their scripts like this, every single element is and innuendo and delivered perfectly on screen.

For clarity, ORANGE was a cellphone network similar to Vodaphone/ Verizon etc. that might the joke make a little more sense. They were bought out and ceased trading around 2015. Ronnie Corbett teamed up with Harry Enfield for this charity sketch . Both Ronnie’s have now sadly passed away.

Damn, I can't believe I've never seen this one before! Just seeing Harry Enfield trying not to laugh was worth it alone!

Eggs box £3.60 is such a killer punchline. I love it.

As others have said, a dongle is the term we used to use for USB flash drives etc

My favourite *Harry Enfield* characters rarely get reacted to, as like with most things, the best ones get forgotten. They include: *Harry and Lulu, Tim Nice But Dim, The Old Gits, The Scousers, The Slobs, The Self-Righteous Brothers* and the most popular of all *Kevin and Perry.* *Harry and Lulu* (which has a 9 minute compilation on RU-vid) are based on Harry's former step-children, the actor *Alfie Allen* and the singer *Lily Allen.*

The Green Grocer playing opposite Ronnie Corbett is Harry Enfield. You’ve reacted to his “Women know you limits” sketch he is a comedy legend.

Dongle is a usb stick

It's ANOTHER CLASSIC from one of the 2 Ronnie's and Harry Enfield!! As usual it is VERY VERY CLEVER WORDPLAY!!! A dongle is a plug- in like a USB you muppet!! I'm sure that was made after Ronnie Barker had died.

This comes from a show called The One Ronnie and it was made after Ronnie B had died and had other UK comedians or comedy actors filling his role. My favourite bit is Harry having to take a moment before replying to Ronnie C about the dongle otherwise he'd have cracked up. I'm glad they left that in rather than reshooting it.

That face you pulled when Harry uttered the word dongle was priceless.😆 Don't worry a dongle is a USB flash drive and don't forget to react to Johnny Vegas Comic Aid which has savage trolling on par with Frankie Boyle and Jimmy Carr.

Virtually every word was a computer reference. "Orange" was a mobile network operator and internet service provider in the United Kingdom and infamous for its "Black Spots" referenced here and I'm sure you got the "crashed" "re-boot" and "windows" references though not The Dongle one😀

This was one of my Dad's favorite skits, he absolutely loved this one... thank you King Boomer for reacting to this, been watching your content for a while now and you make me laugh 😂

Lots of people have probably already commented that this was a re-do of an original Two Ronnies Four Candles sketch. Simply THE BEST comedy sketch EVER!! You must watch that.

A dongle is a wifi usb. I love the fact after he says he tried to put his dongle in it Harry couldn't keep a straight face. As for Two Ronnies unfortunately Barker is no longer with us but Corbett kept going with others to support him in the acts.

The original dongles were a security device. With expensive software, to prevent bootleg copying you would also get a bit of hardware that plugged into a serial port ant the software would occasionally 'look' for it and if it could not find it it would halt the software. they lasted until someone figured out virtual ports that could pretend to have the dongle connected,

A dongle is a play on words with what you mentioned however it is a USB Drive. The play on the word was deliberate

The two Ronnie's "Jewish insurance" that's absolutely hilarious. Cheers 🍺 🍺 🍺 🍺 🍺 🍺 🍺 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧

The four best *Two Ronnies* clips after *Four Candles,* in no particular order are: 1 - Pronunciation Problems 2 - Crossword 3 - Crossed Lines 4 - Mastermind

A dongle is... oh I just cant! Go see someone else's comment lol Always loved this one (glad you caught that it was Harry Enfield at the end there) RIP both Ronnies. Great stuff King!

A dongle was something you put into a USB slot for a specific purpose Like, one company used a dongle as an anti-piracy device ... you couldn't run their extremely expensive software without the dongle inserted. Or .. my machine doesn't have bluetooth - but you could get a bluetooth dongle that enables it

Love this lmao. Just showed my Scottish family who I'm visiting in BALTIMORE from London

That was one Ronnie and Harry Enfield - love Harry Enfield doing The Slobs (Wayne and Waynetta Slob)

As has probably been pointed out. That was 'The One Ronny' with Harry Enfield. Harry's stuff is well worth a watch, brilliant sketches.

By the Sea - The two Ronnies, Classic silent comedy well worth watching.

A dongle in it's true original sense was a small USB device that was used as a plug in device that acted as an unlocker/enabler for expensive software or to unlock high security PCs (usually on a lanyard around a bank tellers neck). The term became more loosely used to describe USB thumb drives, USB Bluetooth adaptors and any other small self-contained USB plug in devices.

Two Ronnie's four candles sketch is an absolute must

the little bloke is ronnie corbett from the 2 ronnies. ronnie barker had died some years earlier. the other bloke behind the counter is harry enfield another comedian from the past

Dongle is what attachments for computers and mobiles were called before smartphones became ubiquitous. Also this is a relaunch of the original 1970s series in the 2000s, only one of the Ronnie's present here, the other being Harry Enfield, I presume it's after the other Ronnie had died

You should watch Four Candles, with Ronnie Barker and Corbett,the one in the sketch.

Loved this it’s amazing

When Ronnie Corbett mentions about the Orange having a few black spots, He was referring to the Orange Phone Network, No matter where you was in the UK, even when you was standing on top of a hill, under a Orange Network Phone Mast, It was still hard to get a signal on your phone, 3 Network was even worse, 🇬🇧L🤣L👍🏼

I made this as a recommended view in the comments in the last 2 Ronnie's video you made! The other chap is Harry Enfield. Check out some Harry Enfield and chums stuff from the 90's, its great.

This video is The One Ronnie, it was made with Harry Enfield, after the days of Ronnie Barker, but it would have been one of the sketches that both the two Ronnies would have made, But it is still Two awesome Legends, showing the true British comedy that we always love, here in the UK, 🇬🇧L🤣L👍🏼

A dongle is a device like a USB stick which allows access to software applications. Expensive software apps like Cubase use dongles to protect their software

The customer was Ronnie Corbett. A dongle is like a USB stick that grants additional functionality or access to a protected system. Before computers had built in WIFI there were WIFI dongles.

That was one Ronny & Harry Enfield. If memory serves this was a fund raiser charity stunt.

Harry Enfield in his pharmacist sketch is hilarious.

Harry Enfield was great playing a teenage in the film Kevin and Perry. Still cracks me up 22 years ago.

This is the 1 Ronnie. Unfortunately the larger one (Ronnie Barker) passed away in 2005. The other guy in this sketch is Harry Enfield who did 'Harry Enfield and Chums'. Another great comedy.

.......this sketch was a homage to the great four candles sketch that the two Ronnie's did many years ago , if you haven't seen the original ,it's in the " a thing you must watch before you die " bucket !!!

The customer is Ronnie Corbet. Ronnie Barker had died by this time. This skit is a variation on a two Ronnies skit called Four Candles. Orange was a UK phone service provider

One of the best moments in the show ☺️🤣

The two Ronnie's accountant bore sketch is very funny also

The two ronnies were like the British laural and hardy of their time. They are comedy icons from the 70s/80s period. Classic ild fashioned polite comedy thst all family members could watch comfortably at Christmas without anyone getting upset. Not overly controversial. But the two Ronnies are looked back at with great fondness in Britain like two old grand fathers. They were the original Harry Enfield and Paul white house or Hale and Pace etc.

Every time King says "boomerangs" I can't get the wording "Boomer Aang" out of my head and I just see an old avatar

Try Mitchell and Webb, “are we baddies?” Sketch 👍

I don't know if you ever had Orange as a mobile phone network in America. If not, that's what the trying it on Orange reference was.

You have to react to "HARRY ENFIELD AND CHUMS" so so funny!! Especially the Kevin and Perry characters, they even made a Kevin and Perry film they were that popular.

For the benefit of people that don't know this was a Christmas Special called :'The One Ronnie' and starred Ronnie Corbett in various sketches of which this was one. I can't remember the year but it was after Ronnie Barker passed away. Hence the title 'The One Ronnie' This was a brilliant sketch and I've always regarded this as a modern day 'Four Candles' Brilliant!!🤣🤣

A dongle is a hardware attachment. In the past they were made to fit the serial port and came as protection against piracy. No dongle - no software. Most dongles now fit the USB port and again, is mostly used as copy protection.

Ronnie barker passed away in 2005 and this was filmed in 2012-2014 as Ronnie Corbett died in 2016

There were "DONGLES" for some specialized programs (Apps) like "QuarkXPress", a layout program. Almost everything was done in "QuarkXpress" 1989-1999 (newspapers, ads, magazines, etc). You had to put the physical "dongel" and insert it into the computers (often a MAC) physical INTERFACE. Back then it was a round empty opening located on the back or the side of the PC/MAC. Today is known as an USB-port. The DONGLE had to stay in, for the whole, long time, to be able to access the software. Then you were good, once it was in. You could build a layout, choose a bigger FONT or insert pages from other documents - INTO your own document.

A dongle is basically a USB stick or flash drive or an exterior device that plugs into the computer. ✌️♥️🇬🇧

A dongle is a small piece of computer hardware that connects to a port on another device to provide it with additional functionality, or enable a pass-through to such a device that adds functionality.

This comic sketch is a remake of a classic Two Ronnie’s comic sketch from the 1970. It was remain and updated about 2009 for ‘The One Ronnie’, a one-off comedy television sketch show that aired on BBC One on Christmas Day 2010 to celebrate the 80th birthday of Ronnie Corbett. Ronnie Barker, the other half of the ‘Two Ronnie’s’ having died in October 2005. The role Ronnie Barker from the original sketch was played by Harry Enfield, who wrote, did the voice over, acted in, the comic sketch ‘Women know your limits’, from his own BBC TV show. Which you reacted to some weeks ago.

British comedy is on a whole other level in my opinion because we take the micky out of everything and everyone. If you can't laugh at yourself then turn and laugh at someone else. These are sketches which would be in an episode of The Two Ronnies. Ronnie Barker was the best comedian I have seen his timing his straight face while everyone else around you is howling. The amount of shows he not only written but also stared in Comedy is needed laughter is needed so badly now. I've seen all these clips you are reacting to and I am laughing with you at something that is set in my life cornerstones watching it fresh through you brings those times back

What a classic. Harry Enfield helping out

This is a later sketch after Ronnie Barker passed away... It is a tribute to the original sketch called 'Four Candles' which is one of the famous skits from the 2 Ronnies comedy show. Its hilarious

Two Ronnies - Crossed lines is another one with classic two ronnies wordplay

The two ronnies famous sketches are "Four Candles" and "mastermind"

Dongles were very common back in the day - used to have one that had multiple connections - USB, Serial etc. It's a one for all kind of thing. Don't see too many of them these days.

it was a spoof on the Fork Handles sketch

Ronnie and harry classic masters at work 🤣🤣🤣👏👏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Two Ronnie's 4 candles is a must 🇬🇧

This was a special for comic relief it's a up to date take on the fork handles scetch Ronny barker had sadly passed so Harry stepped in

You have to do the Two Ronnies Mastermind its a owrd play classic. The crossword sketch is great too.

A dongle is a dingle that dongs instead of dings 👍🏼

A dongle is a device that plugs into a computer that serves as an ADAPTER or a security measure. As such, if you use the iPhone charging cable to attach the iPhone to your laptop to transfer data, it would be considered a dongle of sorts.

This was more a tribute to the Two Ronnie from years ago, Ronnie Corbett sadly died in 2016 he was much loved as a comedy actor for over forty years.

This was a sketch that was supposed to modernise the "Four Candles" one. The sort of shop in which "Four Candles" was set- selling not only hardware and ironware but also shoes, clothing and tinned peas- was already starting to look old-fashioned when it was filmed in 1976. This does bring it somewhat more into the 21st Century- helped in no short measure by the much older Ronnie Corbett as a deliberate throwback to the original- but, as you say, the BlackBerry is not something that people have now, so it too is starting to look antiquated and will likely be as baffling to the next generation that comes up as the "Four Candles" sketch appears to you at the moment.

Good to see the channel doing so well Brian- down to me spurring you on , no doubt! Ps - still got my usual trolls! "" Bobby ShaftoWentToSea 4 days ago Watching live, sat in a childs paddling pool with my two spaniels- the new normal for NE England! "" Neil Powis "" 4 days ago Dementia? "" Grrrrrrrr!

The BlackBerry on Orange gag doesn't work these days, because the mobile phone network company Orange has be absorbed / rebranded. Orange was a big brand, back in the day. A dongle is a reference to a device that used to be used to license computer software; the software would refuse to run, unless it saw a dongle with a valid license key on it plugged in, either in the USB port or (very old fashioned) a parallel printer port (25pin D connector, not seen on PCs for 20 years). They fell out of favour, because it was too easy to modify the software to ignore the lack of a dongle. Dongle also can mean a USB WiFi stick. And of course, in British English, where almost any word can a euphemism, dongle is a prime candidate. This sketch was a hommage to the famous Four Candles sketch Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett (the small guy here) did, which for those of us of a certain vintage gave this sketch an extra frisson of enjoyment!

Dongle is any adapter or device that extends from a computer. Can be a adapter, hub or storage.

Two Ronnie's is an absolute UK classic. Sadly both guy have passed away

Harry Enfield was the guy in the Women Know Your Limits clip you reacted to. Dongle is a USB stick

Dongles were a name people gave for USB flash drives for a while but obviously there's the double meaning that you're thinking of

For the orange joke, there use to be a cell phone network in the UK called Orange. They've been bought out. As for the dongle, it's UK speak for something you plug into a computer like a USB Pen Drive or a Wireless Receiver.

This was a sketch from a show called The One Ronnie,with Ronnie Corbett with comedy guests.Sadly,Ronnie Barker had died some years before (2005?). Equally sad was that Ronnie Corbett himself, died not long after this show,in 2016

The Two Ronnies Four Candles is a good one to do a reaction to.

The other Ronnie sadly passed , Harry Enfied played his role. Im sure it was for comic relief (a money raising annual TV event for charity). A dongle is a USB device that stores information.. you may call it a pen drive across the pond.

A dongle is a UK word for a UsB stick

A dongle was a USB stick that connected to wifi before laptops had built in Wi-Fi receivers

A dongle is essentially a portable USB device that behaves like a small modem. You might hear it called other names, like internet stick, USB modem or USB network adapter. They all mean the same thing. Just plug a dongle into your computer's USB port and you'll get instant internet access, no software necessary. 🇬🇧😎👍🏼

Also not sure the American audience would not get thr beginning when they said they would try the Blackberry on Orange. Orange was a mobile phone network like AT&T , Now EE. Also a dongle dongle is a small piece of computer hardware that connects to a port on another device to provide it with additional functionality, or enable a pass-through to such a device that adds functionality😂😂😂

This was after Ronnie Barker had died I think. It is quaint old humour, clever play on words which the Two Ronnie did so well.

Dongle is the receiver which plugs into your pc to receive the signal fro a wireless peripheral ie a wireless keyboard / mouse etc 👌

Good job KB👏👏👍

Two ronnies did a sketch called Four Candles which this is kind of a rework of. If you have not seen that it might be something. It's pretty old though.

Not sure if you have seen it, but the Two Ronnies' most infamous sketch is the four candles one. Genius writing,. expertly performed.

The Two Ronnies Irish Pub is a great one too 😊

Orange: early UK mobile-phone network (d 2015 due to takeovers) started by Hong Kong company. Enormously popular at the time

A dongle is a hardware key. Today it would go into a USB port, years back they went in serial or parallel ports. You'd be issued it by a software company to be able to use the software on only 1 machine. This was before they insisted you have an internet connection to launch certain applications [ checking whether you were the original license holder ] Graphics companies often had, say, 10 different computers all loaded with, say, Quark xPress but only paid for 2 licenses.... so they would have 2 dongles - plug them into the 2 machines they were currently wanting to use the Application on.

Never heard of a dongle? Oh thanks bud! I feel so old lol

A dongle is a usb stick that fits into your computer (like a memory stick) but you can gain access to the internet. It's for people that are always travelling

Dongle = thumb drive is the best way to look at it. Also you were also correct. This was done after Ronnie Barker died, and they were looking for things for Ronnie Corbett to do. They did try a sit-com but it did not really work, so they went back to him working with someone else. The problem is Ronnie Barker was a comedy genius, and because Ronnie Corbett had worked with him for so long, he was associated with that high standard, so anything he did afterwards, if it fell a bit short, did not seem to work. It happened with other Ronnie Barker things, like open all hours, they tried to redo it with out him, and it just was not as good.

It could be a flash drive . . But the term is manly used for a usb data stick used to connect to the internet

To me, nothing beats their Irish Pub sketch.
