Oh I miss watching Morecambe and Wise soooo much. These two, the Two Ronnies, Mike Yarwood and so many more. They were true comedians. We haven’t seen their like since and unfortunately never will again. Today’s ‘comedians’ (and I use the term loosely) can’t hold a candle to them. RIP to all the late greats of comedy. We miss you 😢
I love all the stage sets and props. So much hard work gone into the design and making of them just for a short skit. I wish we still had comedy like this.
Redcicada Lincoln…well, depending where you live, we still do have good comedy. One person’s experience (ie. yours) doesn’t make something generally true for everyone everywhere.
It became a real accolade for so many top actors and entertainers to appear with Eric and Ernie over the years. Just shows how popular they were, as were their shows.
I cannot watch Eric and Ernie without seeing Dad. He was the spitting image of Eric, and as funny. We always watched the show..They are both long gone now. When comedy was great.
i dont mean to be so off topic but does someone know of a way to log back into an instagram account? I was dumb forgot the account password. I love any help you can offer me.
Such a joy. Timeless. Eric is just so effortlessly funny & having a blast. Town centres used to be dead when their shows aired & Xmas ones got 17million viewers.
Some estimates say that 28 million viewers watched their Xmas show in 1977. That would have been half of the entire British population. Unheard of today for any British TV show.
It has been a pleasure watching this antique SitCom. Thank you for uploading it, senor 2Descaro. "Gentlemen this is Abdul. Abdul, this is gentlemen." Witty, silly, brilliant !
'boulder dash' - I just love how funny these guys were. Nothing beats good old British humour, that coming from a German that left his boring old country, full of arch conservative bureaucrats. There is a fine art to comedy, which some people will never get right.
(guest) Hello, George, So glad you like Morecambe and Wise.☺. They were very popular, for decades, and their shows are often repeated, especially at Christmas, etc. ☺🌹☺.
This was the sketch that introduced Eric & Ernie's dancing walk. They used it for the rest of their TV career, and for a while it became a part of British culture. To some of us of a certain age, it still is!
A good joke is funny, most people tell a good joke and make people laugh. But to actually be funny is something else altogether. Eric was a comedy genius and with Ernie by his side they were on top of the world

Seeing this now in HD quality, You can see why the BBC used the most expensive Tv Cameras available, so on the Tv Sets of the future, it would look like it was recorded yesterday. 👍🏻😀
people ask about Abdul, he looks like an Australian character actor from Aussie films and tv on programmes like Whiplash with Peter Graves, anybody know who he is....?
The last bastion of vaudeville. The joy this couple brought to so many was unparalleled.

It looks like they were all struggling to keep their composure...Love it.
From the US. I just discovered these guys. They are funny as hell!😂
leslie beddingfield well done British comedy at its best
leslie beddingfield Leslie, you might like their ‘Breakfast’ routine.
*leslie beddingfield*
You're right, of course, but I wish more of _us_ got *_Bilko_* and other great comedy from the *USA.*
Morecambe and Wise appeared on the Ed Sullivan show several times. There are clips on RUclips. Check them out
*leslie beddingfield* Really? I always thought it was Jack Hylton who discovered these guys.

@MichaelKingsfordGray
Now there is a non sequitur if ever I saw one.
We do, It's called American politics.
I expect they just borrowed them from the British Museum.

That's the BBC license fee at work.

Nice 🙏
Me too. My dad recycled all Eric's jokes. We had bring me sunshine as the last song at his funeral. ❤
My Grandad was the spitting image of him as well, same glasses, pipe and silly sense of humour.
@@simonhanlon7518 My Grandad was the same. And i still miss him.
Aww bless you and so true 🙏and absolutely comedy at its best
They were the best of the best R I P and thank you for the memories
The synchronised dance routine was hilarious… & much more difficult to execute than they made it look!
👏😊
Robert Morley an underrated actor.
Still miss them after all these years. Thank you M & W for all the memories, all the laughs that are still funny today.

Wonderful to see Eric and Ernie enjoying themselves in one of the best plays wat Ernie rote!
never in the field of human comedy was so much owed by so many to these two !!!!
Absolutely. Bloody brilliant. And very nice people.
Classic comedy from dear Eric and Ern. RIP x 2 💜💜 My favorite comedy team of all time.
Robert Morley would have amazed the audience by keeping his end up in such a sketch with the masters
And he ended a scene doing the Morecambe and Wise dance (5:46) - "That's going to be difficult for me". What a trouper!
"Would have?" He did!
The Two Tone Tessie joke was gold!!!!
Two TON........as in weight.
Absolute genius - so simple, so innocent, so funny.
innocent ?
As always comedy at its best.
The best comedy duo since Laurel and Hardy
I can see why they loved Abbot and Costello, especially there movie Abbot and Costello meet the Mummy.Truly miss there Christmas show
It's great to see these silly sketches again.

"Gentlemen, this is Abdul - Abdul, this is gentlemen"
That cracked me right up :D
The greatest duo of comedians that ever existed !!!!!
😁😆❤️ Thanks, all those laughs. I miss this sort of comedy.
I thought I had seen all of these shows hundreds of times, but I don't remember this one. I did enjoy it,..... and I still have my socks on as well!
"Gentlemen...walk this way!"
After about a million times, that gag NEVER gets old!
synth on a plinth Benny hill
I still use it when conducting tours.
Eric usually answered "I would if I could" or "If we walk that way we'll get arrested".
@@colinp2238
Another one is "If I could walk that way I wouldn't need the ointment."
"I'm looking for some perfume", "Yes, Madam, walk this way", "If I could walk that way, I wouldn't need the perfume".
Eric and Ernie were absolute legends. Sadly missed.
It has been a pleasure watching this antique SitCom. Thank you for uploading it, senor 2Descaro. "Gentlemen this is Abdul. Abdul, this is gentlemen." Witty, silly, brilliant !
It's not a sitcom, it's a sketch comedy show.
Had never seen this. Totally hilarious!Earnie loses it a few times. So natural. Love it.
at first i thought this video was going to suck and i almost clicked away.
I AM SO GLAD I DIDN'T
Totally stupid and nonsense! and I love it.
That just cracked me up! Absolutely hilarious 😂😂😂😂
Robert Morley made a decent stab at the silly walk.
Love it. Etched in my memory.
Amazing comedians, love them xx
No
absolutly loved this, reminded me of wilson kepple and betty

Hello, George,
So glad you like Morecambe and Wise.☺.
They were very popular, for decades,

I do that 'walk this way' gag to this day. 🕺
Me too

Classic comedy!

Nice job - that tomb.
Robert Morley, greatly underrated! Walk this way!
@Boss Rooster was he?
@@figjam59
Not that anyone knows, even the omniscient *Boss Rooster.*
@@philaypeephilippotter6532 I'm not aware of any such scandal linked to him, neither is Wikipedia.
@@figjam59
Nor are the several sites I visited. *Boss Rooster* is just trolling.
It's a pity that UK law doesn't acknowledge that the dead can be libelled and allow their estates to take action over such scurrilous remarks.
It's hilarious !!! Eric even works the Waiter's mistake into the Script @2:25 - "Would You BLIKE to buy a nice Hookah...???" 😆
Love the way that Janet Webb has more to do than usual in this one.
I'd like to thank you all for watching me and my little show.
The waiter is brilliant... "a thousand apologies "
(Dad joke # 24, 572)
Q: How do you gain entry into a pyramid?
A: You toot an’ come in! (Tutankhamen?)
😁👍
The best part about it is that Ernie just absolutely loves Eric.
I like a good Morecambe and Wise tale.
If only we could wave a magic wand and go back to those days............................
I watch this all the time and the two parts that constantly make me smile are 4:48 and 6:48
"This is the Guide?"
"Yes... Abdul"
"ABDUL!"

I can remember back in the late sixties and early seventies when we were kids, the Xmas shows, my dad pissing himself laughing.
Just pure comedy
Classic funny and clever
12:48 to 12:58 It was very kind of them to give the woman 10sec to catch her breath! Bless them.
Morley is having an uphill battlewith wise trying so hard to be serious
This show is neat!
They should have redone this sketch in the late ‘70’s - and when they open the tomb...
...out pops Steve Martin doing his King Tut number!
The great Robert Morley brought low.
Brilliant.
Comedy at it's best.
Incomparable.

Great Robert Morley in this.
With the great Robert Morley... was an excellent character actor.
He kept his socks on!
The cigarette lighter is very funny!
He got his socks on.
love janet !!!
"I'm leaning on a Pharaoh at the corner of the Nile" sounds better in A, btw.
Gotta love the Brits
Brilliant
Hilarious 😂
What happened to Abdul the guide? Very nice. was 'oping to see more of him!
You can see more of him as George's dad in 'George and Mildred' he's great in that also, really disgusting!!!
They're his mementoes! 😂😂😂
He's like the rest of them...he's kept his socks on......
Why are some of the videos blocked by country?

Their version of the sand dance.
I agree 100%!¡!¡!¡
think I'll try a rendez-vous for lunch - with a chocolate knickknack for dessert
It's Mrs Fox!
Sadly for you it's not. *Pamela Cundell* played *_Mrs Fox._* This was *Janet Webb* I believe.
Yes, I can see why You thought that. They are quite similar. 🙂
Robert Morley and M&W.
Sounds like an Eddie Braben script.
When was the sketch recorded?
If memory serves right, 1974.
The "sand dance" ... ROLF
Makes you realise how shite TV has become
Is the actor who plays Sir Robert the same guy from The Pet Shop Boys' Always on my mind video.
No, that was Joss Ackland. This is Robert Morley 👍
Who's singing in the tomb?
The Brilliant Janet Webb
Indy 3 ?
There's three of um
The man with glasses sounds like Mr. Lucas from Are you being Served...🤔

Awesome duo. Better than Two Ronnies but by a small margin only.
WAS that Ann Hamilton ???
