They were SUCH a clever and entertaining duo - the sketches were genius, the monologues hilarious and the song montages glorious! Enjoy :)
Grew up with the Two Ronnies. They were one of the biggest things on TV back in the day in the UK lol
Same in New Zealand.
We had TV in those days, only 3, sometimes 4 channels :)
The traffic died down at the "Two Ronnies" time!
Same here, grew up with them. Comedy genius 👍🇬🇧
2.4 was the average amount of children at the time. There was even a sitcom called 2.4 children.
This is indeed a classic, the dancing bit with the glove absolutely has me in stitches everytine. If you get the chance, please seek out the two Ronnie's swear box sketch, has the best pay off line ever in a sketch.
I think Ronnie Corbett is a bit underappreciated in this duo. Everyone bangs on about the genius of Ronnie Barker and sure, he may well write most of the sketches, but Corbett excels as an actor in said sketches, the stronger of the two in this regard. Both are brilliant.
I think thats why they were so popular
Agreed.
This was the pinnacle of Sunday night,the end of the weekend,the finality of freedom the last hurrah before the return to school.
If I had an accountant then I would hope them to be like Simpkins. I would speak to them once a year and know they are doing a fantastic and highly detailed job.
Ronnie Barker - absolute genius actor. ❤️❤️❤️
The two Ronnie's were so creative coming with ideas and staying in the part and keeping a straight face doing the sketch
How they never cracked it in America is beyond me
The fork handle sketch was hilarious
If you watch the credits at the end of each show the writers names are shown, one is called Gerald Wiley, that is Ronnie Barker's pen name.
It was always said that the average number of children a couple has was 2.4. Somehow Simpkins is soooo boring that he and his wife have managed to do that all by themselves! 😁
I'd forgotten this one, oh god the look on her face as she came in was priceless.
GLORIOUS
There were never a couple of men, nor will there ever be in future, who were so Expert at Comedy.
Ronnie Barker (RIP) was mostly the writer, but 'little ronnie' as I lovingly like to call him, did indeed contribute hugely to their partnership.
You're right about Ronnie C on this one - he was being a horrible mean bully in this skit - and I felt that when I first saw it way back in the 70s or 80s.
Your laugh makes me watch you all the time, greetings from Norway
You have got the most infectious laugh I have ever heard. It makes me laugh as much as the sketches. 🥰
It's fkn genius.
the best double act ever,and Ronnie Barker wrote alot of them
"Would you like a chocolate eclair?"
A bit squashed!
heres one for you . The Two Ronnies: Mastermind
Already have it on the channel.
It would be remiss not to point out that during this sketch Mr.Corbett, inadvertently, called Mr. Barker's Son: Watkins when it was, clearly stated by Mr. Barker that the Son was called Wilkins.
This may seem a small detail to some but I feel it is essential to maintain standards particularly in the comedic sphere...
One of Barker's best roles.
Classic this one
The two Ronnie's were on TV for years. You've got a lot to go through yet.
They were good! All the best 👍
I love your reaction to everything, this was one of my favourites.
My nephew wants to be an accountant when he grows up so for his birthday, I just got him a bag of receipts. I said "Don't worry if you don't like them.....I've kept all the presents!"
2.4 children was the average household, there was sitcom called 2 Point4 Children in the 90's.
I grew up watching the two ronnies but i must admit i missed this one, so thank you, i was watching this one with you. 😁
British humour is on another level....................nothing else comes close
The Two Ronnies are very much like Morcambe and Wise, in that they exclusively did sketch comedy as a duo. So if you take one sketch at a time you'll have content for *years*. Their shows were watched by every household with a TV when they were first broadcast.
I don't know about this sketch specifically but it is well known now that Ronnie Barker, the taller guy, wrote a significant number of the sketches but under a pseudonym so they wouldn't be given special consideration by the team of writers that put the shows together. This was before he began writing the shows Porridge and Open All Hours.
Hello Alan. Thank you for the laugh. Thankfully I had friends who dragged me down the pub when I left university or I too might have become an accountant.
Now please watch "Ripping Yarns" episode "Eric Owthwaite" and after see the follow up "Golden Gordon". You might have to do them on Patreon, but they are on RUclips.
Ronnie Barker was the brains . His pen name was Gerald Wiley.
Great reaction to a late great comedy duo. You have never disappointed on any reaction you've done.
These cats are the best
1981, I want to go back to less darker days.
so do I
Considering Fishbein's appalling manner in approaching him on the subject of his being "bored" by Simpkins lack of exciting interrelational behaviour with his colleagues, one has to greatly admire Simpkin's patience! Fishbein deserves flattening!
I've seen a lot of their shows but I never remember seeing that sketch.
These days that would be the perfect employee!
Great/evergreen Two Ronnies sketch-note the main crux of the joke,that being an accountant is boring!🤣For further clarification,see Monty Python's 'Lion-Tamer' sketch!😂
Had a friend that when he was asked on how many children had, he used to reply 3, one of each, a boy, a girl and a monster.
When had actually got two girls and one boy.
Might have known the Ronnie's would have got that great laugh back out 😆👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
Haven't seen this one before. Absolute comedy genuises.
Oh this is hilarious dude! 😂😂😂
It is the ‘ average’ amount of children a family has.
I am renowned for my sense of levity. In reality, I design Paper Clips. I pride myself on being an expert in this field and this has been my passion for nearly 30 years now since I started at Radia Paper Clips which is an Anglo-French Firm. As I'm sure we all know a paper clip is a device, used worldwide to temporally hold papers together. An interesting fact is that the technology for manufacturing paper clips evolved in the early years of the twentieth century, and has remained virtually unchanged since the 1930s!
Paper clips come in several forms, but the one most often seen in common use is called the Gem clip. The origin of the term "Gem" is supposed to have originated from one of our British firms that began exporting them at least 100 years ago, which I find fascinating. The term has come to stand for the iconic shape of the oval-within-oval design. Actually, any clip of this shape is called a Gem clip, regardless of the manufacturer. Another type of paper clip sometimes used by archivists and librarians is called the Gothic clip. It has a rectangular shape, with a triangular inner loop. Other distinguishing marks of paper clips are the overall size, the thickness, and quality of the wire, and whether the clip is corrugated or smooth
That must be the Mullins and Davies Type B, invented in the Bimingham factory in May 1962?
@@robmontier639 You know your stuff though I,personally,preferred the original...
@@Isleofskye Try the Jaquémonfuisse, made in such a way it uses 6.04% less metal than the conventional papeur clippe and saves €0.29 in materials per clippe. It was a modified Mullins and Davies Type C (version 7) which never hit the mass market due to industrial unrest and the Pritt Stick. You plainly haven't lived 😃
@@robmontier639 Within our Industry, information such as this, is dynamite and could have revolutionized and transformed our whole way of thinking and would have sold any industrial, or, indeed, any other, type of unrest....
By the way, thank you for full size playback using green screen. So much better than the too common small overlay playback window that makes the played video much harder to watch.
It’s British (what we call Pommy) humour……often understated, wherein lies it’s beauty. Unlike much of American “humour”, which basically flogs whatever it is into you, Pommy humour is far more subtle and relies on the audience to join the dots….a concept that I think humourists in the USA really struggle with.
You see, many audiences are actually pretty intelligent and the Poms allow them to utilise that ….and their imagination.
This appears to be quite a snobby comment.
You seem to struggle with US humour.
How very odd. I've never heard our humour referred to as 'pommy'. That is a word an Australian might use, even if it's somewhat outdated, but not a British person.
@@2eleven48 tbf the username is outback traveller so I'd hazard a guess that they're aussie
I think we all needed that.🤔 I know I did.😄 Be well Alan. 😉
Have you seen the Rowan Atkinson sketch where he is a vicar telling about Jesus turning the water into wine? Even as a confirmed Christian it always makes me laugh.
The BBC did have popular 90s family comedy called " 2 point 4 Children "
The Fast Show - Billy Bleach - Loose Change. He is a great character.
Also, Competitive Dad is another character worth watching, they are played by the same actor Simon Day.
This is a great one
It was a long time after the shows that people found out Ronnie Barker was writing a lot of the sketch cheers and sending them in under someone else’s name because he didn’t want Ronnie Barker to think he was taking all the glory hence leaving it as a partnership it wasn’t until near his death did this information come out
Gerald Wiley was the false name
Brilliant! Loved your reaction Alan
Similar to Python's Account sketch.
Brilliant.🌹👍
2.4 Children sitcom should be your next watchalong!
yep, you have a fair few more clips to watch. they did 12 series (96 episodes) of the show.
I noticed you stopped on a screenshot of: ‘Crossword’ which you may, or may not have already seen. Two of my favourites with impressive wordplay are, ‘Ponting Punting’ and ‘The Strange Case Of Mrs. Mace’. 👍
I do think that the guy watching the video does say a lot for me about the difference between American and British humor, the long winded reply by Simpkins to the 1st question had me chuckleing along with it, perhaps the guy with the beard was waiting for a punch line?
Genius !!
there was a show call 2.4 children. British 90's sitcom
You need to check out Bert & Charlie - one sketch somewhere on here, but the best one is only on the second best known video sharing site - cough!
Wake me up when it's time to squash some eclairs.
Oh and by the way.... all tea ladies in Britain are called Doris.... it's a statuary requirement.
I miss these reactions.
Talking of 2.4 Kids, you need to watch the British Comedy 2point4 Children - absolutely hilarious :)
11? So thats roughly one episode's worth 😂😂
2.4 kids was a mean average of the number of children born ... in the 80s
They do say that the average family has 2.4 children.
These two, amongst other comedy acts were in a time when you could have a good belly laugh, and not one swear word would be used, unlike today's so called comedians who rely on profanities to get a laugh!
Not entirely true about swear words, Ronnie Barker used the word "Berk" which is shortened cockney rhyming slang for Berkeley Hunt,(the C word) in some shows because it was the only swear word he could use and get away with lol
If you ever watch a game of cricket you will see they count the overs and then the individual balls of an over so you might for example be on the 20.3 over which is the twentieth complete over and the third ball of the current over. So using that example and relating it to Mrs Simpkins pregnancy it is highly possible when the conversation took place she was in fact in her fourth month of gestation allowing Mr Simpkins to state they did in fact have two point four children.
When asked how many kids I’ve got (it’s 2 by the way) I always say 3. One of each.
Fun watching your reaction to this one 😊 A recipe for how to trigger your boss's decent into madness?
2.4 kids is a statistical figure.
It's an accountants joke.
So funny😂😂❤
So obviously written by one of the Pythons !
Hey EB 👋 Hope your doing well mate and life's treating you well.
Two Children and the point 4 comes from how long she has been Pregnant.
Never turn to violence, its a joke
That was a great sketch and your reactions made my day, talented pair much missed.
Probably been said already but Ronnie Barker wrote a lot of material and Sketches but he sent them in under the name Gerald Wiley.
He wanted them judged on merit not because he wrote them.
2.4 kids, means, he already has 2 kids, and the '.4' refers to the wife being pregnant with their 3rd kid. Perhaps '.4' means 4th of the way through the pregnancy?
2.4 kids is what statisticians say and it's the same with s3x saying that people do it 2.5 times a week. How many people have only had half s3x?.
Make sure to react to: The two Ronnies: Dr Death
This is about the Pinkerings blinders on Netflix right?
Can you take a look at classic British comedy from 1976-1980
George and Mildred ..
Episodes on youtube made by Thames Television so not bbc . It's a husband and wife comedy about down class people moving in to an upper class street with upper class neighbours who the down class people get on their nerves...anyway if you seen The Ropers in the US well the Ropers was based on the British George and Mildred comedy...plus George and Mildred had a 1980s film there was to be more episodes made but the actress who played the wife (Yootha Joyce died in her 40s she was a secret alcoholic no one of the show knew
0.4 children, 40% of 9 months, or 3.6 months to be boring like Simpkins..
the we guy is Scottish hence the rolling of the R 🧐
you have YEARS of sketches some in todays world wouldnt fly but back then we werent as uptight as todays people
2 point 4,, the 4 means she has been pregnant for 4 months ..
watch the wedding speech funny
Have you watched Ronnie Corbett in his series 'Sorry'.
'Language, Timothy!'. :)
You have been missing out.
I think it's great that you break up your content as you do. I would enjoy watching you respond to a marathon of the Two Ronnies, but your mix and match approach is better imo.
Look up the two Ronnies in what's your name
2.4 was the average qty of children per family in the 80's, now much less (1.9 I think) - it was to enphasize how boring he is.
.4 = 3.6 months pregnant
As much as I love Ronnie in these sketches, it's obvious that Ronnie is much better than Ronnie. Don't get me wrong Ronnie is great but he's no Ronnie.
First comment!
We had such alot of different comedians in the past, all were humerous in their own way., I really dont find woke humour a laugh in any way.
Dude! Just found your channel. AWESOME! Have you seen " OutlookDaily"? Check out their series :"You only had one job and failed miserably".
