Yes, Bill Hooks is for us to assume that 'Bollocks' was writen on the list.
Ronnie Barker said he didn't like that ending and came up with a better one where a voluptuous woman would come out and say "What kind of knockers do you want?" (Knockers meaning breasts).
This sketch was voted Britain's best of all time.
Ronnie Corbett was the star here with his mannerisms and facial expressions.
I was going to reply but you did already thank you save me the time explaining
Superb acting. I've seen someone lose it just like this, had their head done in.
I thought it was to assume it said Pillocks rather than Bollocks
@@DigitalRageInc wow! I never even thought of that before. Makes sense though. Let the argument rage!!😃
@@DigitalRageInc that could be correct my friend thats what i get for assuming.
The washer was unrelated to the last one, I believe that you were supposed to come up with bollocks in your mind. This clip was cut short, the full clip cuts to the Ronnies and Ronnie B explained that he was never happy with the ending and added the ending that he thought of too late and what it should have been.
At Ronnie Barker's funeral, four candles we lit instead of the normal two.
I would have had 'Billhooks' written on my headstone too
Classic British comedy, these 2 were golden, so well done.
Ronnie Barker was both an immensely talented comic (and dramatic) actor and writer whose talent shone in many shows; but Ronnie Corbett was also an immensely gifted performer with exquisite timing and that finely judged skill of listening and reacting - his reactions here are brilliant snd it’s interesting to watch Ronnie Barker stay in this almost monosyllabic character for once and let Ronnie Corbett shine - although he always did ensure Ronnie Corbett shone in every sketch, being a generous writer and performer 😊
This sketch never grows old,I still laugh everytime I watch it
We owe a lot to Ronnie and the vagaries of the English language for humour like this.
The Two Ronnies were some of the very best British comedians of the 70s. I would urge anyone to pick up the complete set as it is hours and hours of wonderful comedy both having razor sharp comedic timing and intellect.
If you had watched this video to the end Ronnie Barker would wrote the skit explains how he came up with Bullhooks
(Bollocks).
They did watch to the end. Not every version on RUclips is the extended version. Most cut off at Billhooks
Billhook sounds like Bollock's I think ? I have watched the sketch several times and am still not sure.....lol
I worked for a transport firm when I was 16 and was sent to ask the warehouse foreman for some
sky hooks , tartan paint & something else ? seriously and they told me to look around the warehouse for some....lol
This is the best two Ronnie’s skit ever.
My fav comedy sketch of all time !
I have only recently discovered this couple and their posts, and suddenly they are right up there with my favourite contributors. It is like watching comedy with your best friends, no "Airs and Graces" just a really likeable couple who want to share their comedic clips with you. Well done both of you.
You are so very kind to send me a heart. I simply love the interaction between the two of you, and the fact that you really "GET" our humour. Love to you both
When he took the list from him, it was nothing to do with washer, he looked at another item on the list, billhooks, which he thought was bollocks.
The most beautiful wordplay sketch ever
great sketch this all time classic
The two Ronnies were the absolute best. Ronnie Barkers comedy writing was just sublime. His play on English words and phrases was pure comic Genius. Right up there with the best. If not the best. Ronnie Corbett was from Edinburgh Scotland. An absolute brilliant wing man.
Very much a classic sketch though I never quite believed Ronnie Corbett's rummaging for different items, my experience of such places is that the staff could find things blindfolded despite the apparent disarray. Oh, and at 02:16 it's a garden fork handle, not a pitchfork; the giveaway is the length.
Just how anal are you?
Soon ask that kids boot flew off I was gone 😆
Bill hooks was really meaning that the shop keeper had read ‘Bollocks’ on the customer’s shopping list. Dig out The Two Ronnie ‘Mastermind’ sketch - it’s pure writer’s genius.
A bill hook was an agricultural tool. It looks like you ended up looking at pictures of a weapon that was made from them, the "Bill". English "Billmen" were very common amongst medievil armies, right up until the Tudor period
It appears you missed the joke, 611. Stop talking "bollocks".
My first full time job, aged 15, was in a lemonade factory... Glass bottles.
Constantly sent around the industrial estate to ask for.....
A glass-hammer, 4 ounces of cunnilingus cream, 1 foot of 25 and a half centimetres long ply, a bubble for the spirit-level (not the round ones!), non-stick glue, nipple greasers..... Happy daze 🏴🤣
I have just come across your channel and have started looking for back issues. I just love how the two of you interact with each other and with the camera.
Awesome! Thank you!
No. it's not for a pitch fork. it's for a garden fork. Pitch fork is for hay & straw etc. Garden fork is for digging the garden. Helps with tough ground. Plus Pitch has 2 spikes, Garden has 4 spikes.
The Two Ronnies shows are still great to watch and are much funnier than so-called modern comedians.
Billhooks are currently in common use by thatchers, coppicers, agricultural hurdle makers, charcoal burners and often by other traditional craftsmen, bushcraft, farmers and woodsmen. They are also the primary tool for hedgelayers.
I fear i could be here all night. That's not the bleeding point, 7076, they could'nt grasp the connotation. Why should they ? Preface your monologue with the actual meaning of the skit and all is well, charlie.
3 best comedy sketches of all time,
4 candles
who's on first (Abbot and Costello)
all the wrong notes (Morecambe and Wise)
100% hilarious, all of them
We did 4 candles 😁🍻
Check out The Two Ronnie's in The Phantom Raspberry Blower of Old London Town.
Brad, as an Apprentice. they Guys tried to send me for a Long weight, tartan paint and a left handed screwdriver...lol
My father in law was a teacher and regularly used to send pupils to a colleagues classroom and ask for a long stand.
Bill hooks was supposed to be bollocks. They later changed the skit to knockers and a lady came out the back and asked how big?
Billhooks are an interesting british tool.. used primarily for laying hedges... also in history have been used as a weapon of war.. put on the end of a long pike..
Thanks for explaning it bill hooks I never understand that last joke
A bll hook is an agricultural knife.
The confusion would likely have been with the Swede word 'bollocks'!
Genius sketch!
I used to work at McD's and it was somewhat common for certain jokers to ask the newbies to 'pop upstairs for a bag of steam' for the bun steamer (for the Filet 'O' Fish).
Great sketch
Fantastic reaction
Love from the UK
In humor you can't beat them 🤣🥰
Look up 'Pronunciation'. Also have a look at them performing as 'Jehosophat and Jones'!
I'm old enough to have watched the "Two Ronnies" on PBS in the early 1970's ---- funny then, funny now !!
It was a bit too ancient for some of us, even in the 70s. I had no idea what bill hooks were.
Yep we would send any new young driver’s we got, to go pick up everything from tartan paint to skirting board ladders or a long weight (wait). Skyhooks of course. These were the good old days.😂😂😂😂🇬🇧
LOVELY COUPLE CHEERS
You gotta do "The Sweet shop sketch" at some stage as it's possibly one of my all-time favourites
i want a long wait, rainbow paint & a blackberry
👍best sketch
A bill hook is a tool for a form of hedge , called cut and lay. You don't cut all the way through the branch of the hedge, then you lay the branch down. It is an old fashioned way of hedging your fields as a farmer.
BOLLOCKS !!! Also, you didn't watch the 'Two Ronnies' (prior to retiring) TV show, when they explain they came up with a better ending for the sketch using 'knockers' as the final word! Merry Christmas (and both my sisters just called me from Canada, one in Toronto and the other from Salt Spring Island in Vancouver) xxx
Keep coming back, you guys. Mungo loves candy. :-)
It switches between this and The Dead Parrot sketch for me. The Offensive Translator is close.
Four Candles...No Fork Handles 😂
🥳 the very best! 🇬🇧
Really enjoy your videos as much as you do yourself,fun couple,you should watch the two ronnies and the racing duck,very funny
BILLOOKS BOLLOCKS LOL
Bollucks!
Funny you should pick up on that as Ronnie Barker never liked the ending and later rewrote it for a live show, instead of another male shop assistant taking over, a "big slovenly girl" would come out and say "Right then sir, what kind of knockers are you looking for?"
9:23 In medieval warfare billhooks were used to convert your opponents' scary (but unwieldy) long spears into far-less-threatening sticks. Once this had been done, the people with billhooks usually came out best in the resulting encounter. They were used to devastating effect in the Battle of Flodden Field on the Anglo-Scots border in 1513. They also had the advantage that country-folk were likely to have (at least) one so there was no problem of supply.
Whereas nowadays they're used for trimming thick branches on tall hedges. There's also short bills on a much smaller handle that get used lower down.
Quite a common thing in Britain is skyhooks, if you were a labourer or worked in the factory when you were young someone would come along and tell to go and get some skyhooks, maybe someone reading this go to a hardware store and ask see what the reaction would be.
I would've just said "gimme the list" lol 😆 Many years in retail 😉
Bill hooks say it fast bollocks 😂
This is one of my all-time favourites - and made better as I know an actual 'hardware' store that is very like this, even down to the brown 'warehouse' coat worn by Ronnie C. (It's in Stony Stratford, Bucks, UK in case you're interested!)
I wonder if you could find me the address of the hardware store. I could 'google map' it and post a pic on the next video?

If you watch the Sweet Shop sketch, you'll find Ronnie Barker getting his revenge on Ronnie Corbett for this!
Billhooks = a very weak pun on "bollocks"... some people say it's meant to be "pillocks", meaning "stupid people", but (a) the term wasn't as popular/widely-known as "bollocks" when this sketch was televised; (b) it's usually just "pillock" in the singular, whereas "bollocks" are normally plural; and (c) it's hugely unlikely that a customer would buy some "stupid people", so the premise of the sketch (the shopkeeper mis-hearing "billhooks" for "pillocks") wouldn't work.
See also rowlocks. eg.
"He accidentally got caught on those things on a boat you put the oars in"
"Rowlocks?"
"No, it was his wrist"
Bill hooks are a tool used by gardeners
not pitchfork but a gardening fork, to dig into soil and turn it
Ah, skyhooks. That one was tried on me as a youngster also.
The last joke was a reverence to "bollocks"
Watch the version that doesn't cut off the end commentary, please?
Don't you just love the British accents.
The bill hooks are similar sound to the word bolllocks as a pair would be referred to as the male testicles.
There was an alternative ending in which the shop keeper calls for a young large breast assistant who would then grab a box and ask what size knockers did he want.
😲🤣🍻
@@bradlucy there's one I think you may like. A clip from "The One Ronnie" titled "My Blackberry isn't working"
Billhooks = Bollocks. How many do you want one or two meaning one or two bollocks lol.
You watched the cut version. Ronnie B explains the end of the joke in the full scene.
The tap washers one was glossed over and unrelated to the last joke.
Billhooks the last joke, rhymes with bollocks, as in bulls bollocks, slang for balls, or a load of balls, meaning nonscence or in termology, "your talking a load of bollocks! "
Your not stupid just impatient, if you had watched a bit further, Ronnie 'B' explains how the last joke didn't quite sound how he wanted and gives a better ending
Billhocks - Bollocks - Testicles
Bill hooks, Bollocks!!!!!!
Bollocks! 🤣🤣🤣
Handles for garden forks not pitchforks. He just ignored the washer request to look at what else was on the list. Billhooks sounds like bollocks. Billhooks are used in agricultural tasks like clearing vegetation. Bollocks is slang for testicles. At the end of the sketch they explain about this joke and how they later improved it, but the explanation was cut off in this video.
You need to watch the end when they through back to the two Ronnies for the explanation, everyone makes this mistake.
He thought it said bollocks instead of billhooks if you played it a little bit further the two Ronnies actually explain another ending he wanted to do
Brads definitely got 2 bill hooks lol
You missed the bit at the end where they explain a better ending to the sketch.
Bill hook.... BULLOCK'S 🤪
billhooks was a play on the word bollocks, which is slang for testicles, before he asks one or two. i;ve heard of skyhooks, a long weight (wait ) was another and striped paint
Just seen your play list, forget my last comment as you’ve already seen it, funny as f
it means bollocks 😂😂
The joke s are all about the London way of dropping the letter H, the one at the end was again about pronunciation, and it could sound like bollocks. Ronnie later explained that he wasn't really happy with that ending but in a hurry he couldn't think of a better one, and provided an alternative.
Long stand too
Bill Hooks = Bollocks
= the UK slang for the two things, that hang between UK legs!
Replace the I in bill hooks with an O
Rusty Dog has it straight....
You two obviously don't mind a drink, have you ever had an Australian drink called a 'mad dog' ?
Ingredients
A shot of tequila
A wedge of lemon
A pinch of salt
Method
Drink the tequila, snort the salt and squeeze the lemon in your eye!
Result -- Mad Dog.
The last joke, he obviously had bollocks written down on at the end of the list.
Their crossword sketch on th train is quite similar and worth watching.
Bill Hooks but he obviously wrote Bollocks on the note which is the British term for testicles
Shame th ending was missing from this version, Ronnie C goes on to say he came up with a new ending, where a buxom lady comes out and asks how many knockers he wants. Billhooks would have been "bollocks".
Ronnie B explains the "knockers" ending, not Ronnie C.
Best Wishes. ☮
Bill hooks ment Bollocks x
You should check out their Argentian racing pidgeon skit as well.
How about being sent to the store for some yellow & black striped paint, or for those ex military, a long wait (weight) for a pull-through.
Ce gamin était-il à l'intro OK, je pense que des dégâts se sont produits.
You really believe Ronnie Corbet works there
2 Bollocks billhooks ATB Wayne UK.......
Quash match-the accountant etc
