Just absolutely brilliant. My Dad fell off the Sofa because he was laughing so much. He absolutely loved watching these 2. When you think of the crap these days nothing as good as this and Porridge and Open all Hours and only Fools and Horses, Morecambe and Wise, Les Dawson etc.
This had me rocking with laughter! The two Ronnies never fade, they're as brilliant and funny as they were back in the day. There is nobody to compare to them now.
Myat Htoo, Hello! Lucky you! Imagine all the wonderful hours of laughter you can look forward to! The 2.R's are always great, even after viewing them over and over. Have a great time and good wishes to you!
Squash is hilarious the salt is so real. Barkers comic writing and corbetts unrivaled timing make this arguably the greatest comic duo to ever grace tv. I grew up with them and its mortifying to know we have lost them both. Rip
Weird - I've loved & enjoyed the 2 Ronnies for years. Enjoyed many a repeat yet never seen Squash before today - here. Amazing why it's not shown more. I love the shute one too with Ronnie Barker working in the laundry department and Ronnie Corbett supposedly being thrown down the laundry shute. lol
Yes indeed a fact often overlooked was Ronnie Corbetts amazing timing. John Cleese said he learned more about comedy timing from Corbett than anyone else he ever worked with- high praise
These are my ultimate sketches by two of my favourite in the hall of comedy. They will be missed but they will live on. I always watched in the 1970's and 80's and beyond on their shows, and specials.
I'm re-watching so many of The Two Ronnies' classic sketches. After each one I think, 'That's my favourite.' RIP Ronnie Corbett. Let's hope you're having a few jokes tonight with your mate.
AndrewofWare, I write this 6 yrs after your initial "2 Ronnies" comment. I just wanted to say "hello" to another lover of these 2 super chaps as well as telling you how touched I was by your words. Best regards!
The last "Squish' sketch is very clever since extraordinary gifted people DO exist in the world, to the frustration of others. Most people have to work very hard at skills whereas some people with no experience at all seem to be born naturals. Great sketch !!!
Simply three of the best comedy sketches of all time ! I remember watching them when they were first shown and then going to school and talking about them with my friends !! Just absolutely brilliant !
I also grew up watching the The Two Ronnies, many happy memories, comic genius, especially Ronnie Barker, in the days when there was only 3 - 4 TV 📺 channels, thanks for the laughs
I’m Irish and I worked with a Scottish guy in the US offices of a large UK company. At an offsite, one American colleague referred to a video used to help explain how easy it is to miscommunicate. She said that none of her American colleagues could understand what was being said. The Scottish guy turned around to me and whispered that it was the “Fork ‘Andles” sketch. I laughed so hard that the woman asked why…
Both comedy geniuses and like Milligan, Steptoe and, Dick Emery this was back in a time when you waited in anticipation for comedy shows.You knew the day, the time and, channel every week when these shows were on.Looking forward to them nights of humor every week which nowadays despite endless channels come few and far between.
All this was shown on BBC when I was a kid, a particular favourite of my nan, the great days of BBC. The 'fork handles' sketch has been spoken of numerous times but like many of their sketches when seeing them for the first time was so hilarious and unforgettable.
American here. Wow, so funny. I have never heard of 2 Ronnies. I am just discovering it (binge watching) now. The only British tv we knew of back in the 70’s/80’s was Benny Hill and Monty Python. My dad loved those shows. I think he would have gotten a kick out of this too. Love the Brits! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
The Fork Andles sketch is my absolute favourite, I remember watching it when It was first broadcast I was in stitches Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Cobert were legends Gone but never forgotten
One of the best ever. It helped explain why my wife left me. She taught me how to play a game she played all of her life of 60 years. After loosing a couple of games, I started wining, and boy, she never liked that. So I had to play dumb and loose a few to keep her happy. Then she got cocky and asked for a contest first to 20 games. I beat her hands down, and 3 days later she called me a cheat lol. A few months later she was gone. True story. The irony? Never been happier on my own. Loneliness is one thing, but loneliness in a marriage is a whole different ball game. So yes, understand why little Ronnie got upset lol.
*lose, lose, bloody LOSE -- NOT "loose"! And you started WINNING, not effing "wining"! And if this damn story is true (which I doubt), you beat her because you are a MAN and she is a WOMAN, and they are NOT the same thing!
@@DieFlabbergast Gee man/woman... take it easy teach. Dont normally answer trolls, but for what its worth... its a true story. The game was Backgammon, so man or woman makes not difference teach.
@@ConstantlyDamaged Probably true... but whats your point? Everyone is an easy-beat at first. My whole point was that it is not about the game or who wins or who looses... its about who can handle winning and loosing. Because I loved her, I saw her pride destroying herself, and is why I let her win, to help build her up again. But it backfired on me lol. Anyway, I am much better off now in more ways than one.
Gorgeous comedy - and 'clean' _without_ being anaemic. Ronnie C wins the prize for _this_ sketch, though: his bemused 'reactions' are even funnier than the wordplay. Damn, they were good!
Nothing like the British brilliant humour-hoping the humour may never be lost in the changing face of Britain - who can ever forget those British giants of comedy, Hancock,Peter Cook,Moore, Spike Milligan, Ken Dodd, Dawn French, Jo Brand, Benny Hill, Tommy Cooper, Bob Monkhouse, Dave Allen, Jimmy Jones-we need more British humour to keep England laughing-sadly not many smiles abound today.
The Four Candles sketch was based on a real event in a hardware shop. The staff in the shop had a customer who came in asking for four candles but was asked how many fork handles he wanted? They cleared up the misunderstanding but thought the incident would make a good sketch on the Two Ronnies. They wrote to them about it and the two Ronnies liked the idea so much that they had it expande out into the sketch that is a comedy legend. It was the only sketch they ever created that was based on a suggestion from a viewer.
I love how the audience sort of knows what is coming at 5:45 after he goes back to leave the box back up on the shelf, the look from Ronnie Barker and you can hear the audience laughing, they know what is coming next
In the 80's I used to work in a hardware shop like this. Not sure about RUclips rules, but it was in Brownhills in the West Midlands. I can add to these sketches, one day a guy came in and asks for a 400 watt bulb. 400 watt? Sorry mate the largest we have is 200 watt. To which he replied, no, four, 100 watts bulbs....
I cracked my tennis racquet on my cousin (sore loser) and my mother cracked me😂😂 38 years ago. I'm happy to see Ronnie's frustration taken out on his racquet.
Ah, what marvelous geniuses they were! Why can't we have anything like that nowadays? I can watch these videos over and over again. By the way, during the "Your nuts, Milord" sketch, is it my imagination or is there smoke wafting into the scene repeatedly? Do they have dry ice somewhere, or does it have anything to do with the content? Does anyone know, please? Thanks for all the years of laughter, Ronnie C. and Ronnie B. You've added much needed humour to our lives. I hope you are both in Heaven, thinking up new sketches there!
I try the Os and Ps etc thing at my local hardware store that's literally staffed by upright corpses. In 5+ years I have not managed to get even the tiniest of smiles, never mind a laugh. These are 40+ year old men. Has the world lost it's sense of humour or am I being boring?
"WEIRD!!!". I woke up this morning having dreamed of the four candles skit, and bosh, here it is on the list. Google has a direct link to my brain cells.
The squash match sketch was always hilarious and rather underrated
There will never be comedy like this ever again. The lady in this sketch is brilliant.
How these two comedic genius kept it together is beyond me!
Its,,Oct.2022,,,The Two Ronnies,,still the best British Comedians ,,.their humour will never die, ever ...billocks ..
2024 still watching , the best comedy 😂😂😂😂 hilarious
Just absolutely brilliant. My Dad fell off the Sofa because he was laughing so much. He absolutely loved watching these 2. When you think of the crap these days nothing as good as this and Porridge and Open all Hours and only Fools and Horses, Morecambe and Wise, Les Dawson etc.
Will look up ones u mentioned.. Did u like fawly towers ?
No I wasn't keen on it.
I forgot to mention "Yes Minister"
The best comedy duo Britain ever produced. A lot of credit should go to the scriptwriters.
Ronnie Barker actually wrote some of the material. The 'four candles' sketch for example!
They wrote most of the sketches themselves
Everyone of an age remembers the fork handles skit but the Squash one is often overlooked.....just superb.
I also like the sweet shop one where he only wants certain colours in the mixture.
Comedy routine at it's utter finest and it doesn't come any better than the two Ronnie's.
Absolutely fantastic
The makeup on Corbett for the squash game sketch was spot on. That sketch was brilliant.
This had me rocking with laughter! The two Ronnies never fade, they're as brilliant and funny as they were back in the day. There is nobody to compare to them now.
One of my favourites is 'It's a duck!'
@Pete ruclips.net/video/pj0_Ps5c08I/видео.html bought from the same man who sold him the black moon-rock! Classic comedy.

Little and large
Forkhandles joke is the best!!
i am french but thank god i live in a country that speak english so i can laugh watching those great comedy shows there is nothing like it in france
Check Les Deschiens
I would have killed Ron by then..... Lol.🥰 J
😊
Need something to laugh about - 🇦🇺😀
You are absolutely right. I am British..and have been living in France since 1983..French series seem to be hopelessly dull.
This is the first time I have ever seen this The 2 Ronnies and it's got me completely in tears!!!! now I do nothing but search for them!!!!
Haven’t seen the butler one before!
Fork handles though - seen that about 40 times!
Myat Htoo, Hello! Lucky you! Imagine all the wonderful hours of laughter you can look forward
to! The 2.R's are always great, even after viewing them over and over. Have a great time and good wishes to you!
The best thing to come out of Great Britain. True geniuses.
Yes bbc tv licence
This cannot be repeated again in this world:
May God Bless them both, and give them life eternal ❤
Shut up Pratt
Absolutely brilliant. The squash sketch has always been my favourite.
May God bless them both for all the laughs. RIP both.
Indeed.
Squash is hilarious the salt is so real. Barkers comic writing and corbetts unrivaled timing make this arguably the greatest comic duo to ever grace tv. I grew up with them and its mortifying to know we have lost them both. Rip
They are indeed great but I would have to put them at equal billing as Morecombe and Wise.
cmdfarsight agree 100%

WE LOST 'DODDY' TODAY--KEN DODD, HE WAS 90 YRS OLD, BUT STILL HELD AN AUDIENCE IN STITCHES. R.I.P. KEN.
Yes indeed a fact often overlooked was Ronnie Corbetts amazing timing. John Cleese said he learned more about comedy timing from Corbett than anyone else he ever worked with- high praise

I must have seen fork andles a 100 times ,it still cracks me up
Timeless comedic brilliance.
R.I.P. Reunited with Ronnie again, thank you for the laughs.
The first sketch is one of my faves. I must have seen it a thousand times and still belly laugh. Simple but effective
Four candles would be a strong contender for the best ever British comedy sketch.
I'm re-watching so many of The Two Ronnies' classic sketches. After each
one I think, 'That's my favourite.' RIP Ronnie Corbett. Let's hope
you're having a few jokes tonight with your mate.

Longer than that!.
@@ndhan72 That's what I said!
Send videos of the Two Ronnies into space and if the Aliens find it, we’ll all get along! 😂

RIP Mr. C. Thanks for the many, many laughs over the years. #comedy legend
How great were these two there's no one comes anywhere close nowadays to them 😂😂😂
They were geniuses 😂, pure talent

Great to see them again :)
Thank you!
This never gets old.. 2022
Ronnie Corbetts facial expressions in the fork handles sketch is priceless
While I'm shivering from cold because I can't afford the heating this sketch at least makes me feel human lol 🤣😅
Just amazing, loved it.
Playing on words....brilliant :-)
Thank you for sharing! Brilliant! 😂😂
Damn funny AND clever. Love The Two Ronnies.
Think you have to be cle er to be able to write such brilliant comedy.
"Clever "
RIP....
Hope my laughs reached you all the way there.
American here. Wow, so funny. I have never heard of 2 Ronnies. I am just discovering it (binge watching) now. The only British tv we knew of back in the 70’s/80’s was Benny Hill and Monty Python. My dad loved those shows. I think he would have gotten a kick out of this too. Love the Brits! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Aah! Bless you...enjoy!! Xx
I love the fork handles sketch and to think when I was young you could buy all these things. We had a corner shop stacked with things like these
Two comic geniuses, sadly missed. :-(
The two ronnies and morecombe and wise were probably the best double acts ever just priceless
The Fork Andles sketch is my absolute favourite, I remember watching it when It was first broadcast I was in stitches Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Cobert were legends Gone but never forgotten
Just the complete and utter best of British comedy
You can’t play now you’ve broke your rocket 😂😂🤣😂
The "squish" player was the very best of the lot. Cannot be bettered.
Awesome... This is one of their best

I actually remember a shop like this - everything in those boxes and drawers.
Hello
How are you doing today?
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
lots of independent DIY shops are like this, its just the big chains that aren't
I could watch this everyday.
Watched this dozens of times still and still makes e laugh
Gorgeous comedy - and 'clean' _without_ being anaemic. Ronnie C wins the prize for _this_ sketch, though: his bemused 'reactions' are even funnier than the wordplay. Damn, they were good!
The "Your Nuts M'Lord" reminded me of the equally, utterly hilarious Fry And Laurie bar sketch. Those were the great days of humour.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
absolutely legendary re-united forever,so sadly missed
l think about him every day ronnie corbett i good work 😊
I used to love these two, so happy I found them on here. There's only one I can't find, The Optician.
Love them.!! So everyday for them,no pretenses. R I P.
Haha! Good old Comedy, Very good quality by the way thank you.
Very very clever.Brilliant actually.
Three of my favourites!🤣

They are priceless

First time I saw the 4candles I cried with laughter
Brilliant!
