I swear that Ronn Lucas is one of the best ventriloquists in the business! His technique is PERFECT and his characters are both hilarious and unique. I also love it that each character's voice is totally unique.
Three things make this stand out. First, Lucas is an outstanding ventriloquist; that song is proof of that. Second, Scorch the character and Scorch the puppet are both terrific. And third, Lucas's material is really, really funny -- it even makes a jaded old guy like me laugh out loud. I've been a huge fan ever since I saw Ronn and Scorch on the Smothers Brothers back in the day. (Lucas also had a funny appearance on Night Court!)
when i was a kid my mum used to let me stay up late to watch it, as i had school in the morning and normally in bed for 8pm, this show was on channel 4 at 11pm....i loved it so much and at that age 8 years old, i used to believe scorch he was real :D im so happy that after all these years have gone by, my age now being 34 (26 years later) i found my show on youtube, over the moon to see this again :)
Wow! Ronn is still our favorite vent. We wish he could perform at the AVI in Laughlin, NV. Very funny Ronn. We are proud of you and Judy sends her love.
True fact: from February 28, 1992 - March 13, 1992 CBS ran a show about Scorch; in the show everyone thought he was a puppet, but he was really a real dragon, a fact known only by the family with whom he lived with. Only 6 episodes were produced, and only 3 ever aired.
I LOVED THIS GUY! He's really good at throwing his voice and stuff and the puppet is so cute with his fingers crossed. I love how he makes him look down some times, etc. I wish I could've seen Dave's face when the puppet asked him what the fuck he was thinking. The leno joke was a funny way to kiss his ass too :P
Lucas did have his own tv show it was on a sat night in the early 90's (90-93 if i remember my childhood lol ) back when tv was gold with stuff like brian conley, bobby davro, You bet, big break all the great stuff back in the day!
i hate how since Jeff Dunham is the most popular ventriloquist in the present day. that every one thinks either someone stole something from him or he took something from someone. Just because they said the same thing doesn't mean its related.
@stephengatelyfan Did you think when Scorch said 'Think about it.' ? If not, then, how is it possible Scorch was there, but not Ronn Lucas? At a ventriloquist rehearsal?
it could be you do not have a stereo system.. I get sound but only out of the right channel (right speaker)If you do not have stereo then you are using the left channel for sound (non stereo systems default to the left channel even if you have two speakers attached and your system sends signal to both speakers then the right channel is non existent and the left channel comes out of both left and right speakers) check to see if you can get stereo (left and right channels) I am not sure if any of that made any sense.. Note that the "signal channels" and your speakers are two different things..
@andyrooney11 i think for the most part, jeff dunham is funnier, but i agree completely that the others deserve to be in the spotlight more. They're alot more /talented/.
@andyrooney11 Terry Fator. Jeff Dunham may not be as good a Ventriloquist as some others, but he is funnier than pretty much any other Ventriloquist. It's Comedy Central, not "Convincing Illusion Central"
@andyrooney11 I think Jeff Dunham is good, but i agree that there are more phenomenal ventriloquists, it's gotta be incredibly hard to do. I think this is hilarious!
@andyrooney11 Jeff dunhams show got the axe. I love Ron Lucas, I feel he is a better ventriloquist than Jeff Dunham. I feel Dunham needs to practice more, especially his 'n's. Still think he is a funny guy tho. But I have fond memories of seeing Ron Lucas' TV show as a kid. Very funny stuff.
Chuck is the only puppet that isn't the same voice. Scorch and Buffalo Billy sound too much alike, although Ronn does a good job depicting different lives with each character,
@andyrooney11 Ron Lucas did have a show here in england in the early to mid 90s it was a kids show with scortch and many other puppets but i agree he should have a adult show cos yes he was funny as a kid show host but puppets being rude is just the funnier
@stephengatelyfan This is why we can't have nice things. On the internet, there's no such thing as 'friendly'. I try to explain the joke to you. Then you think of it as an insult. That's an illegal blow under the belt, really. Expected since it is the internet, but still. You're making it real tempting to insult you. But I'm above that, and thusly, I apologize if I may have come off aggressive; I was just trying to help. Have a pleasant day, sir/ma'am.

Ronn Lucas is so amazing, and talented, he should be more popular

It's 2k18 and he still is my favorite
One of the best to ever do it.
This may be old but it is brilliant. 😂❤

Oh my gosh that was so impressive! And Scorch is so adorable, it reminds me of a jim henson muppet.
Yeah, they look great, don't they? Esp. when they're wearing clothes!
What a champ. Certainly one of a kind
Scortch is the cutest puppet ever… Ronn is the best!
Wearing underwear, he looks *sexy*...
oh my god that ending was AWESOME!!!
that last part was amazing
:Lucas was over in the UK when Dunham hit here and Dunham is excellent too/
I love these guys.
i luv ron lucas! his act is so great and amazing!
I ❤ Scorch!!! 🐲
And Ronn, too....I guess. 😆 Time for a comeback, Ronn!!!!
that part where he says's i make you talk and the row row boat test was also done with billy the puppy cowboy in his earlyer years
Scorch cracks me up! He's so cute.
I LOVED THIS GUY! He's really good at throwing his voice and stuff and the puppet is so cute with his fingers crossed. I love how he makes him look down some times, etc. I wish I could've seen Dave's face when the puppet asked him what the fuck he was thinking. The leno joke was a funny way to kiss his ass too :P
This guy is funny!
he really brings scorch to life
aww i luv wen he gave him a hug!! soo cutee
Where can I get a doll of him?
Lucas did have his own tv show it was on a sat night in the early 90's (90-93 if i remember my childhood lol ) back when tv was gold with stuff like brian conley, bobby davro, You bet, big break all the great stuff back in the day!
2:44 ronn talks in scorch's voice when he says "Ooohkayy". Woohoo for notciing things. I want a scorch puppet :3
Best I saw
Wow, that puppet is amazing. Looks real.
I want to do that "Under the stage" ting! I've been practicing ventriloquism for some time, but I can't friggin' do that! Damn.
Thats the first thing I thought. He's so animated for a puppet. It's like "Look what jumped out from the back of Jim Hensons closet!"
That is a really cool puppet!
BOTH Jeff Dunham & Ron Lucas good ones =) Need to find Ronn's DVDs or VHS shows!
i nearly bit my damn finger off i was laughing so hard.
I would kill for that puppet just because it looks so different and cool
very nice!!
I love him !:)
I love scorch 😝
He looks real. Omg. I want one.
たまに火を吹くのがイイよね。 もうすんなよ。ってツッコミがお約束でいい感じww
hahahahha
"anyone notice im naked?"
its so cute! I want one!
Me too!
I love this part; Ronn:"Scorch, what are you doing?" Scorch: "Lap dance" xD
i hate how since Jeff Dunham is the most popular ventriloquist in the present day. that every one thinks either someone stole something from him or he took something from someone. Just because they said the same thing doesn't mean its related.
great doll!!!
turn your speakers on/up
david strassman is the best!
Scorch what're you doing? "Lapdance."
I know, but is he a figure that works with levers attached to a stick, or is the mouth worked by opening and closing his hand
Ronn Lucas is mo than great. He's LOL totally
where did you get that? i love the dragon!
@andyrooney11 the jeff dunham show didnt last very long did it?
@TheIMC8 Good for you.
@stephengatelyfan Did you think when Scorch said 'Think about it.' ?
If not, then, how is it possible Scorch was there, but not Ronn Lucas? At a ventriloquist rehearsal?
hi there im ron lucas...and i am star johns lolz! is guys good
all of dunhams characters sound the same
at least this guy changes it up
That looks so really
He do look really real..
Funny how this was on CBS, when in 1992 there was a failed sitcom for Scorch on CBS.
Right speaker only.
3:35 lol
hes the green fiery lol
Why has there never been a last ventriloquist standing?
hhahahah...best ever
It is quite a common ventriloquist insider joke..
why cant i get sound on this video?
it could be you do not have a stereo system..
I get sound but only out of the right channel (right speaker)If you do not have stereo then you are using the left channel for sound (non stereo systems default to the left channel even if you have two speakers attached and your system sends signal to both speakers then the right channel is non existent and the left channel comes out of both left and right speakers) check to see if you can get stereo (left and right channels) I am not sure if any of that made any sense.. Note that the "signal channels" and your speakers are two different things..
ho-lee shit...
row row, row your boat...
how the hell do you pull something like that off? :O
@andyrooney11 i think for the most part, jeff dunham is funnier, but i agree completely that the others deserve to be in the spotlight more. They're alot more /talented/.
@andyrooney11 strassman?paul zerdin?
@andyrooney11 ronn lucas had his own show for quite a while
I got a outie. :D
Is scorch a hand puppet?
It can be a video where children on your lap as a doll
@andyrooney11 Terry Fator?
@andyrooney11 Paul Zerdin?
i m not talking about the ventriloquist... so if you don't know what i m talking about STFO pls =)
@andyrooney11 Terry Fator.
Jeff Dunham may not be as good a Ventriloquist as some others, but he is funnier than pretty much any other Ventriloquist. It's Comedy Central, not "Convincing Illusion Central"
@andyrooney11 I think Jeff Dunham is good, but i agree that there are more phenomenal ventriloquists, it's gotta be incredibly hard to do. I think this is hilarious!
@andyrooney11 Jay Johnson?
in this clip you could see hiss lips move a little but still funny.
@andyrooney11 Jeff dunhams show got the axe. I love Ron Lucas, I feel he is a better ventriloquist than Jeff Dunham. I feel Dunham needs to practice more, especially his 'n's. Still think he is a funny guy tho. But I have fond memories of seeing Ron Lucas' TV show as a kid. Very funny stuff.
Wow!! you cant see his mouth move AT ALL!!!
Chuck is the only puppet that isn't the same voice. Scorch and Buffalo Billy sound too much alike, although Ronn does a good job depicting different lives with each character,

@andyrooney11 Ron Lucas did have a show here in england in the early to mid 90s it was a kids show with scortch and many other puppets but i agree he should have a adult show cos yes he was funny as a kid show host but puppets being rude is just the funnier
@lordofthestrings827 "Anyone notice I'm naked?"
its a tie between Ronn Lucas and Jeff Dunham
LOVE dragons and Scorch!!!!! Have a bunch of stuffed ones, they aren't funny like Scorch!!
Have you seen the bit where Scorch comes out wearing boxers? He looked great like that...
2 fucking funny
No, the guy works him with his KNEE.
Flaiming bugger ;p
my left ear is lonely...
