The Two Ronnies
Series Five (1976)
Another popular sketch, but I couldn't resist. I'm accepting requests for any Two Ronnies or Morecambe and Wise (BBC) sketch, but they can't be serials or full episodes as I don't want copyright strikes. Also, don't ask me to upload the 'Four Candles' or 'Mastermind' sketches as they can be found all over RU-vid and they're not amongst my personal favourite sketches like this sketch or the Rhyming Sermon sketch are. Any other clips from classic BBC TV you want to see, let me know.

"Either one of these is it??".....the best part of the whole sketch

@ShaneC27 26 дней назад

The randomness of the “why don’t you have a beer” line always gets me 😂😂

@jamesmartin2325 8 месяцев назад

‘Either one of these is it’ such a simple line, such a short line, but shows the comedic genius of the writers, fantastically delivered by Ronnie Barker as usual.

@andyrodgers5355 6 лет назад

I think this is one of the most impressive comedy sketches of all time and Ronnie Barker's performance here is superlative. He had to remember a highly complex sequence of actions which were performed effortlessly with no mistakes (apart from deliberate comical ones). A very special talent indeed.

There was a lot of up & coming comedic talent at the time, different styles and attitudes to what humour should be all about....many since have fallen by the wayside....but the sheer genius of this man shines brightly through all the fog.

My impression of RB is that he was a genuinely humble, understated and decent human being. Many years ago I had a friend who grew up with one of his daughters and her impressions of him were the same. Perhaps this is why he was such a lovable comedic genius and maybe even why there are so few today. Humility and decency are in scarce supply these days it would seem.

@tomtalk24 3 года назад

"Humility and decency are in scarce supply these days". Nothing more humain or decent than referring to someone of a particular gender as 'the one with the big boobs'. Typical boomer lol.

@deldridg 3 года назад

@@tomtalk24 Generally accepted societal standards are in a constant state of flux. In those days, such talk was more acceptable and very few were offended. Of course, today things are different and so it's important to judge people by the times in which they lived. People who set out to offend are in rich supply these days unfortunately and Ronnie Barker was not one of them in his day. For the record, I am much younger than the 'Boomer' generation.

@Maynke 3 года назад

@@tomtalk24 He literally starts the sketch with admitting he doesn't know most of the group, they're friends of his wife. If this is from 1976, then it was from the the same era the USA's "Jiggle TV". Silicone & saline breast implants were only 15 years old, too. Many factors at play.

We don't know if Barker wrote this sketch under his writing name Gerald Wiley as this sketch came into the Two Ronnies production office uncredited, whereas Ronnie B would always use Gerald Wiley when he sent in material. So we don't know for sure if he wrote it or if it were sent in by a writer who did not pen their name to it.

About the reference to "coke" in the sketch that some people have mentioned here in comments. It didn't refer to cocaine or cola, "coke" was the name for an alternative to coal that was smokeless (how they did that, I'm not sure). At the time, if people in the UK lived in an area where coal smoke wasn't allowed, they had coke as an alternative so they could still have a real fire at home, so while some people would order a sack of coal to be delivered by their coal merchant every week, others ordered a sack of coke, which was what Ronnie B was referencing when he wrote the sketch. :-)

The really amazing point of this sketch to me is that while we are all laughing at how messed up and funny his screwed up order is, it's not till you pick yourself up off the floor from laughing that you realise that the great Ronnie Barker was in complete control the whole time - he led us all the way to the order that they had arranged the props for - the sketch is brilliant and amazingly funny, but the talent of that man, both writing and performing is out of this world - they don't make em like that any more...

@peterowen9183 Год назад

Agree with every word, but would add, as a footnote, Michael Redfern (stalwart of 1970s UK comedy), doing a great job as the straight man in this scene. Brilliant though Barker is, you need a slightly baffled character to bounce off.

@hadesshade1930 6 лет назад

Four Candles sketch is all about things with the same name (particularly when spoken with accents), or words/phrases that sound similar; thus the confusion. Four Candles/Fork Handles, 'Plugs' (Either bath plugs vs electrical socket plugs), Saw tips (or sore tips/fingers), 'O's' ('country' accents tend to drop the 'h' so could be hoes, hose, or letter 'o') etc. The end of the sketch is a zoom on the sign saying Bill Hooks, an older British curse word is to call something bullocks (or 'balls' similar in sentiment to 'shit' in current vocabulary).
