You couldn't pull off Ronnie's lines without a memory like an elephant's. That man was talented in almost every imaginable sense.
Ronnie Barker plays drunks very well. His sketch as the drunken father in law giving a wedding speech is worth a look...
Kudos to the barman actor for keeping a straight face for such long takes
You're absolutely right about drinks in Britain, generally we don't have ice, and when we do, we'll only have a few cubes in the glass. From my experiences in the rest of Europe I'd say that Europeans on the whole take a similar little-to-no-ice approach. :)
I mean I like a cold drink a while at ice get in the way
The barman was the husband on the Bisto commercials, remember when he shouted bangers and presented sausages that needed gravy?
Michael Redfern?
@@jaydeeman2008 Yes with the late, lovely Lynda Bellingham.
In Scotland we dont have alot of ice as it water's down the alcohol 🤣🇬🇧🏴
remember this is from the mid-70's. The Two Ronnies were complete geniuses.
this is such a Tonic for my last working hours glued to my desk
Glad to hear it eases you through. Just getting to work myself.
The "Two Ronnies" show was a mixture of sketches with them both in, Ronnie Barker doing talks to camera (like the mis-pronounciation sketch and this one), Ronnie Corbett doing a joke sitting in a chair (check out one of those) and a big musical number at the end (also woth a look) It also started and finished with a news room scenario. It ran for 16 years from 1971 to 1987.
Wow I won’t run out for a while then. Music and solo Ronnie soon
Ronnie Corbett's chair jokes were the best....take a 30 second funny joke and make it last five minutes.....and be even funnier.
This is one of Ronnie Barker's solo sketches from the Two Ronnies. They did solo skits, Barker in character and Corbett sat in a chair talking directly to the audience and camera.
Still feel like I only delivered one Ronnie 🤣
@@TheRealSquirrel to make you feel better we can just imagine the other ronnie is standing behind the bar...sadly he's so short, we can't see him
Yes, Corbetts Chair monologues were excellent too.
@@scottythedawg 😂
@@scottythedawg I may end up making up for it by end of day 🤷🏻♂️
As a teenager I lived in Santa Monica for 18 months, and quickly noticed that if I asked for a coke most of the cardboard cup would be full of crushed ice with a dash of coke! I took to specifying no-ice so that I would actually receive a cup of coke (which was cold anyway), which got me a few funny looks. 'Cheap limey' they probably thought!
I had completely forgotten it was Four Ronnies Friday, but I am so glad it is!
I’m so glad that everyone enjoys for honeys Friday as much as I do
@@TheRealSquirrel great timing for an auto correct error in the comments of a skit like this 😂
One of the reasons for little or no ice is that it affects the flavour of the drink. Too much ice and the flavour and smell of the alcohol is lost. I personally don’t take any water or ice in my whiskey.
Ronnie Barker himself wrote much of the material for these sketches under the pseudonym Gerald Wiley. You can see this name in the credits at the end of each show.
The term "Dutch courage" came from the Dutch soldiers who fought along side the English soldiers against King Louis of France armies were given rations of gin every day and they were practically bladderd before they went into battle and they wasn't scared because they'd be drinking gin, in London in 1730 there was 7000 gin house in London and people on average drank 16 LTRs of gin each year, it's nickname is "mother's ruin" because women used to get pissed on it and start neglecting their children, there's a famous drawing/Painting by William Hogarth of drunken men/women drinking gin, I think the painting is called Gin Lane that he did In 1751, oh yeah gin was originally called "Genever" because it's Latin for juniper, the berries used in the brewing of gin
A gun and tonic used to be called a medicinal drink. The tonic water used to, the better quality still do, have quinine in it. This was to act as an anti-malarial drink. Quinine is extremely bitter and by putting it into tonic which was an accompaniment to gin a very palatable drink was concocted. This was why the British in India created the drink and would always have a G&T. It enabled them to avoid getting malaria.
If you ask for ice you'll get one or two cubes not a glass full, here you'd get complaints of too much ice if there was more...
Just dilutes and takes more drink to feel merry! So a US ploy to sell more booze.
The lady in the sack was the lady in the other room had a brown dress on and we do have ice in our cocktails 🍸 but they always put the ice in last .I definitely remember this sketch I mean who could forget it I just don’t know how they come up with this stuff but it’s always brilliant. Ronnie Barker wrote under a false name for years because he didn’t want them all to know how much he actually wrote he was an amazing talent Love 💕 from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴🤣🤣🥰🥰👏👏👏🍸🍸👍👋
Gin and tonic over here in England 🏴 is not a cocktail. We tend to have it in a large rounded glass with ice and fruit, such as strawberries etc.
I am from the UK. To be honest I have never heard of strawberry in a Gin and Tonic. IS just Gin, Tonic, Ice and a slice of lemon.
@@grahamrogers3345 it is normally lemon but of the last few years strawberries is also added on request behind the bar. Trust me.
@@rhondafoy7403 I have learned a new thing. Thanks.
@@grahamrogers3345 cucumber with Hendricks tho' ;-)
A single is 25ml and a double is 50ml, use to be one eighth of a gill before metric, although some places do serve 35ml.
Just as you said, more ice leaves little room for the drink itself. That’s why we have little ice in the drinks, more alcohol. Hehe
No ice is why people ask for no ice, leaves more room for the booze! :o)
The reason for 'no ice' in the drinks when abroad was a fear of contaminated water....more so, when ordering drinks in Spain....but habits die hard....even when visiting the USA.(Irish myself...but the same reasoning)
I did laugh at your expression when you finished explaining about the ice :)
The way he remembers his lines...., amazing.
The large bare lady was a winner !🤣
I didn't realise it was Friday haha .glad It is we all love a 4 ronnies Friday.
Me too!
The 2R's also did a few longer 'silent movie' movies. "By the Sea" and "The Picnic" are here on the Tube of You. RonnieB also starred in the 'silent' movie "Futtock's End", which was wonderful - looks like it has been deleted from the site, although it comes up is searches
Some of us Brits avoid ice when abroad for the same reason we avoid the tap water. Minimise chances of being ill
Makes sense
Gin & tonic over here isn't a cocktail - a long slow screw against the wall; or blue lagoon - they're cocktails...
Rough cider, I haven't heard that for years.
England's bloody cold enough without people putting ice in your drinks. Don't get me started on 'chilled' beer.
Whoever the actor is who is playing the barman, he reminds me of the Snooker player Willie Thorne 😃
Squirrel Fridays....tonic for any day blues, well done
😎🐿
We do have ice and we don't genuinely use it as dilutes the drink, i.e wine and less value. I too was a bartender 🇬🇧 Love your recaps😊
Thank You Anita 😎🐿
The lady at the end carry was Ronnie Corbit's wife The Small Ronnie.
The two Ronnies 🤣 swear Jar 🤣🤣
Oh that one is on here I’m going to have to make a playlist just for the two ronnies
Yes good idea. New sub btw. Hello from England.
@@knowlesy3915 hello from Massachusetts USA and Thank You for joining. Welcome to the Squirrel Squad
Quite possibly my fave Ronnie B sketch, just slightly above 4 candles (fork handles) LOL
Each had solo sketches during the show. Corbett was his rambling monologues, Barker difficult dialogue such as in this. This was a lot to commit to memory.
And with the exception of the camera change to see the barman put the items on the bar it was all done in one take, maybe even that bit as well but with just a camera swap.
We are usually asked if we would like ice and lemon with it, some ppl don't, I do
Great reactions mate, amazing how Ronny remembers all the lines, then on top of that get even more drunk with each line 🍻👍
It's likely that he remembers the lines as he probably wrote the sketch.
This one is a classic and possibly hints at Ronnie B's slightly lewd tastes (Growing up, my dad had a book which featured Barker's collection of 'saucy' seaside postcards). But it's the wordplay you always watch for with him and why he's still beloved today.
Ask for no ice you get more alcohol. Hence why we ask for no ice haha
If you can ever find it, there's a short film from the seventies starring Messrs. Corbett and Barker, as well as some other notable British comedy actors called "Futtock's End". There is no actual dialogue, but there is voice acting. It's difficult to describe. It is all based around a group staying at an English Country Manor called Futtock's End for a weekend. The breakfast/hangover scene is hysterical.
It was written by Ronnie Barker. Almost entirely without dialogue, the film includes a musical score, sound effects and incoherent mutterings. It can be found in its entirety on Dailymotion, but RUclips has it split into 25 short pieces

Even if you don't react to it, you will, I'm sure, enjoy it.
Love four Ronnie's Fridays
🤗
Love seeing the two Ronnies every friday with you.
Yeah, that ice thing (more ice, less alcohol) that you do over there. We get why you do it. That's exactly why we don't do it.
The two Ronnie's would do individual sketches as well being together in the same show just to break things up a bit and gin and tonic is not a cocktail so yes it is better with ice ,is that mine thank you very much!
Loving four Ronnie's Friday, Ronnie barker was a comedy genius, a national treasure
Normally - in the UK - you always have ice in a g & T. However there is a guidance to avoid ice in many "hot" countries as careless ice production can hold many microbes and contaminants to be avoided. Thus - avoid ice in anything if you doubt the cleanliness of the location. !!
Makes sense for sure. Thank You
@@TheRealSquirrel Another point to consider is that too much ice will "water down" the flavour of the drink. A couple of ice cubes is a good balance to cool the taste whilst maintaining the intensity. In America it is a case of "would you like a drink with your ice??" Rather than having some ice in the drink. After a while you end up with a glass of slightly flavoured water.
🐿️, I've said it before but four Ronnie's Friday is brilliant mate 👍✌️🇬🇧✌️🇺🇸🍻🍻
Thank You Martin. Bonus today ;)
The American Way with drinks seems to be as you say: pack 'em with ice. This is not the Yorkshire Way, because (a) your taste is impaired by low temperatures, so they can sell you shit and you won't notice, and (b) if a glass has ice in it, and you pay by the glassful, you are paying alcohol prices for water. The Yorkshire Way: “See all, he'r all, say nowt, 'Eyt all, sup all, pay nowt, And if tha' evver dus owt for nowt, d'yit for thisen”.
We like a bit of ice with our drinks and not a bit of drink with our ice!!
Standard reply to asking for a gin & tonic would be ice and a slice? (of lemon)
Hi squirrel, try some only fools & horses. The best British comedy you'll get to see, there hilarious.
We do use ice, but not much. Personally I don't have any as I don't want my insides going rusty.
Squirrel, have you watched Ronnie B's rhyming slang sermon? If not, you should check that out too
I love the two Ronnie. 😂😂😂❤❤❤
Yay it's friday👍🏴❤
It’s a special for Ronnie’s Friday too I am excited!
Does anyone know if this the same pub set used in the early episodes of “Only Fools and Horses”? It looks very similar.
I'm terrible at remembering things (especially if i'm a bit sozzled) so when getting a round in I always took someone with me to the bar who could remember (before smartphones were a thing - now I just make a note). Just like Ronnie Barker I was always wandering back and forth to check i'd got everything correct!
Haha I get that way after the first round too
@@TheRealSquirrel Hope you react to this Two Ronnies sketch at some point! ruclips.net/video/n1F-mbNaTHk/видео.html
@@The-Underbaker I’ll add it
This is one of my favourite bits of theirs. Not all Two Ronnies stuff has both of them - you should try reacting to Barker's faux public announcements or Corbett's brilliant chair monologues.
Excellent work Squirrel, keep it up
Brits don't tend to put a lot of ice in drinks because it dilutes the taste.
Perfect time to wake up on a friday.
I love it. You made me cry haha
YAAAAAAY!! 4 Ronnies Friday!!!!!
And then some 😉
Ronnie Corbett in his armchair chats from the two Ronnies.
I miss a double gin & tonic living in the US.
The two ronnies at the seaside is funny, no talking as such, like Mr bean but at Benny hill speed.
I plan to do it just concerned about doing a long one then having it struck
Yeah! Friday! Bring em on!! 😆👏👏
Stay tuned!
@@TheRealSquirrel Glued!! 👀
@@ellesee7079 4pm your time maybe a bonus later?
Sack dress was a semi balloon fashion dress in the 60s
In a gin and tonic and couple of cubes is normal, but never, ever put ice in a good whisky.
Hey Squirrel. have you tried the Two Ronnies version of the Grand Old Opry entitled "Slim Pickman and Polly Parton."
Are you a secret Squirrel though?
I subscribed to your channel about a week ago, it was the Fred Dibnah, steeple Jack reaction videos that I first saw, if someone likes and can appreciate the things that Fred was doing, well in my book you have to be a half decent fella.
Glad you like the old 70s and 80s stuff that most of England loved.
Secret squirrel reporting for duty. I’m enjoying a lot of old comedy, culture, food and sports. Found out a while back I wasn’t italian (after being told my whole life I was$ and that I’m 56% British so why not learn :)
@@TheRealSquirrel awesome,
I did a similar test a while ago, my father is not a fan of the Scott's, turns out that we are a mix of viking, Scott and English, it's so funny to see his face turn red with anger, especially when I tell both my teenage sons about our Scottish heritage lol.
@@aboutthemetal8783 the hardcore “Italians” just won’t believe it. I did two different tests and four other family members took them and yet the “Italians” say it’s flawed. 😂😂
People don’t like too much ice because they think it dilutes their drink. (I know it doesn’t, my friend who was a bartender has explained it to me).
Another reason for Europeans not wanting ice may be that they don’t trust the water in America though
Possible
We prefer more drink than ice 🤣
gin an tonic (and I have searved it for some of the highest visiting my castle (just sold). A cut glass whisky glass or a long thin "bacardi glass" 2 cubes of ice and a quarter inch slice (half) of fresh lemon (we grow our own) pour slowly a third of a glass of gin over the ice, add slowly, tonic to just above the half glass level and serve it to your guest with the remains of the tonic in its small Schweppes glass bottle. Home alone; an old cracked kitchen glass, ice and lemon and slop in the gin and tonic in quick succession before turning the ice towards you and starting to slurp (or some might schlurp oi-vey), the gin past the cubes of ice now numbing your lip. If you think that it doesn't taste quite right repeat the process! For Her Magesty, NOT TONIC!! a third gin, two thirds Dubonnet one good cube of ice and a good half slice of lemon on top. Stir with a swizzle or long handled spoon under the floating ice and lemon and you do the same with the ordinary gin and tonic ( I have an old 1960s hot chocolate spoon, it's ideal.
I worked weekends in a couple of pubs near Liverpool, UK in the mid to late 80's to aid my beer and cigarette fund 😉whilst I was at college and we'd always ask if the customer wanted ice... If they hadn't said and there was always an ice bucket on the bar where they could add more.
Community ice bucket very trusting.
Loving four Ronnie's Fridays!
You too! I honestly look forward to it every week now
Too much ice just dilutes the taste as it melts - when I’m in the US I always think they use far too much ice.
Ice only dilutes the drink!
Since you enjoy the two Ronnie's you need to check out Morecombe and wise in a way they where the comedy rivals to the two Ronnie's they both ruled tv screens in the old days
Yes we have ice in cocktails ..........
Hi squirrel I’m 66 and I watched the 2 Ronnies as a kid. Have you tried looking up (The navy lark) was on the radio first then TV a young Ronnie Barker, just a thought👍
I think if you go to a proper cocktail bar you'll get ice, but in pubs if you want ice they'll give you ice, if you don't ask for it you won't. I'm not sure I'd class a gin and tonic a cocktail, it's a spirit with a mixer, but then you will anyway know this. I guess different spirits like this might or might not demand ice, but on the whole I wouldn't have a cocktail in a pub unless it has a reputation for serving them. I think as well the glasses drinks like gin and tonic used to be served in quite small glasses so you couldn't get much I've in there even if you wanted, now it's that they are served in those big cocktail-like glasses, but that's quite a recent thing so I think it depends what kind of establishment you are in.
Generally standard pubs aren't or at least weren't at up to serve these drinks very well, the staff didn't know how to make fancy drinks, they just pulled pints (often hand pulled) and served spirits by just pushing the glass up to a bottle mounted on a wall that had a device attached to measure the shot measure and then just topped up the drink with the mixer, nothing fancy, not like the bartenders in the States!!! None of this juggling bottles or even free pouring. I've not explained this very well. You should do a video on the differences, there must be videos out there you could fact to on here!!!
Crying laughing here!
You never put I've in drink unless it's requested, and never ever in a whisky especially a single malt
Ronnie Barker was a comic genius thank you 😁😷👍
2 Ronnies are always hilarious! 👍👏
She should definately check out the Two Ronnie’s Aldershot Brass ensemble next week.
I’m a He but I’ll add it if not next week soon. Hehe be well
@@TheRealSquirrel sorry mate, I meant “you” I don’t know why I put she.
@@joshuagarnham9703 🤣 no worries just taking the piss as I assumed that.
When the English order an alcoholic drink, they expect alcohol, not ice.
Ice cubes water down the drink not our usual taste.
You might like Morecambe & Wise. Eric & Ernie.
you should check out A bit of Fry and Laurie-Barman
ice just waters down the alcohol
That was funny glad the bartender was not drinking 😹😂 💜 🐿§§
yep I am new. Hi really enjoying your reaction
Two cubes of ice is normal squirrelled
Why do you think, we don’t want ice 🧊🤣😂😅🤣😂😅🫣🤷♀️🙏❤️🇬🇧
As a bartender for a chunk of my years I’d get many Europeans (all parts of Europe) who ordered drinks with no ice and I assumed it was the norm I guess.
Definately Ice in G&T in Spain.
Thank You Mel
