I highly applaud Harry Enfield in this sketch. Although he barely manages to keep his face straight, he and Ronnie really sell this 3 minute gag and you genuinely believe that this could have been in the two ronnies repertoire.
@Shabda Sound I'd say that it was your mind that is the unclean issue. This sketch was well written and simply made fun of the names/processes of some brands - a little old fashioned 'tongue in cheek' light hearted humor. Sad that your mind went in that direction rather than appreciate the dry wit. I hope it didn't 'hurt your feelings' or cause you discomfort.
@Shabda Sound Well, since a dongle is a plug in computer interface and one requires the correct sized version to carry out the specific task the question is How are you so dirty minded that you had to leap to the thought line your tiny mind did? Since no foul language or crude phraseology was used the dirtiness is only inferred by the watcher.
At 01:53 Harry Enfield is struggling hard not to laugh, knowing that he is going to ask, " And, how big is your dongle?" I spent 20 years in England starting in 1956 and believe me the Two Ronnies kept me appreciating the British humor including that of Tommy Cooper and a few others who showed that comedy could be kept clean and not so offensive.
I absolutely love a lot of “British humour” but its tiring see the amount of people who try to seem intellectually superior by announcing how much they appreciate it over anything else. This sketch is actually pretty formulaic and tired, just enjoy it if you enjoy it but dont decree it as the best ever just because it reminds you of ‘Four Candles’
R.I.P Ronnie Corbett, I remember watching this - christmas day 2011 and it made me laugh so much just like the Two Ronnie sketches did. You will be missed by everyone.
Back in the day, my mum was involved working with barker and his creative team. The brainstorming sessions would go on into the small wee hours with everyone in fits of hilarity. No alcohol required. Nice to watch this scene which I'd never seen before, I imagine Ronnie B would have approved. Though, had he been around to write it, I'm sure it would have been legendary. (And that's no discredit to Matt Lucas and David Walliams for creating this version)
No. The 'Classic' British humor was the original 'Four Candles' version. Which worked because every item being discussed was something that people genuinely asked for in a hardware shop. This doesn't compare at all because it's ridiculous.
@@hellfirepictures No, that is not correct, You're assuming that everyone who watch the "four candles sketch" is familiar with British hardware shops - and most of the world does not understand most of those typical British references. It's quite a difference to e.g. Monty Python or Fawlty Towers - those have a universal humor you don't have to be a Brit to understand (and laugh at).
Pure. Comedy. Gold. A modern date version, in this sketch anyway, of the classic pairing of The Two Ronnies. Different eras providing different, but great comedy.
Jst found this nugget. I'm from NZ and we grew up on British humor on our telly and just brought back memories of just lovin' these classics. This is hilarious even today
As soon as the word DONGLE is mentioned Harry does his very best not to break character ( but, a, little smerk shows) & yet another shows when Ronnie says my Mrs has seen quite a few in her time. Harry is on the point of bursting out. A brilliant sketch well acted out ❤💕it
After the apple joke, I was trying to think of what would be next... never would have guessed an Eggs-Box 360!
RIP LEGEND
I died at eggs box XD
+Real Growtopia Not quite....
Ive watched this over 100 times now and it gets me everytime! ... EGGS BOX £3.60 .... LMAO
The weakest " joke " in the sketch and you find it the most funny??
Clive Bindley not the weakest joke at all I found that the most hilarious as well.
And it's good night from him.
RIP Ronnie, you made the world just that little bit brighter.
@Alan Cogan Why would 'andles for forks make the world brighter?
@Alan Cogan I honestly can't tell if you're joking.
A true gentle man.
And quite a bit shorter. He held the British Army record for being its smallest officer until the girlies beat him.
I highly applaud Harry Enfield in this sketch. Although he barely manages to keep his face straight, he and Ronnie really sell this 3 minute gag and you genuinely believe that this could have been in the two ronnies repertoire.
You can tell it's an old apple because it's only got one core.
🤭😂👏🏻👏🏻
😂😂😂😂
And only holds 1 megabite
LOL!!!!! Nice one, my son!
funny guy
I love it how Enfield can hardly control himself from laughing outloud
vacantplanet Especially at the dongle bit XD
is that harry enfield?
My blackberry not in good shape
@@slybunda Yes
The writing is eggsellent. The ghosting is even funnier.
Great to see that humor can still be created in a clean, cleverly presented format.

the cleaness of humour is not a positive thing. all that matters: is it funny.
Seen this sketch so many times, never gets old. A fitting tribute to an amazing talent.

Instant classic. British humour is unmatched.
ThelemicMagick If you mean unmatched at being unfunny then yes, this particular sketch is unmatched. Bad puns are not funny.
+Howard Casto i need to agreed with this gentlemen's, your taste is not that advanced enough to enjoy this funny and well made material.
+ThelemicMagick This isn't british humor. It's british people using humor.
+TheBigMclargehuge No, it is definitely British humour ;) albeit only one type of it.

I cried when he died. Did i make a rhyme?
+Sugarella not really
Yes, you made a rhyme just in time, but do not worry , it's not a crime.
It was actually Christmas 2010. Unless it was a repeat you watched.
@Jack Sparrow 2010.
Harry Enfield struggling not to laugh. Now that's a sign of endearment. What a legend.
And it's goodnight from him. 😢❤️🕯🕯🕯🕯
He's not dead, the other guy is
@@riddlemethis2610 Ronnie Corbett
TWO GREAT TALENTS WHO MAKE YOU LAUGH JUST
SEEING THEM ! 😁👍
TWO GREATS WORKING TOGETHER.......
WHAT A RIOT ! 👍🏿😁
What an absolute privilege for Harry to work with this legend. Great comedy that alot of us miss.
sure but harry is also a legend too
Both legends in their own right has to be said.
"Let me put that date in my diary"
This whole sketch was genius!
lol
Genius 👍
See, you don't have to swear to be funny. Another great talent gone forever. R.I.P. Ronnie Corbett..
They didn't swear, but it was a bit fruity!
Who said you did
@@welshwizzard8209 Is that a Welsh questio? (Oops! Forgot to add the last characte!)
He did say dongle.
@@cyclingseagull Even the Bar of Soap says "dongle" these days (but in Latin).
I remember watching this years ago. One of the best comedy sketches I've ever seen.
R.I.P Ronnie Corbett. :(
You will always be remembered.
This is on par as a classic with “Four Candles”! Harry Enfield’s dialogue and timing is perfect.
Nooooo! Its Fork Handles! 🤣🤣🤣
Handles for forks.
Got any plugs?
RIP Ronnie Corbett (1930-2016). A legend in the comedy world, you will be sorely missed.
Another legend gone!!!
R.I.P. Ronnie.
You brought so much laughter to this dismal world!
Totally innovative with 2 talented writers and actors. Innovation like this not seen today whatsoever.
After all these years and multiple times of watching this will always be hilarious to watch. R.I.P ronnie
One of Ronnie Corbett’s best skits. Great to view it again. Wonderful play on words.
Blackberry and apple, what else could they possibly pull out? An eggsbox! Damn I really did not see that coming! Brilliant and so funny!
They left out the Apricot and the Cherry.
And spice.
If they were to do the sketch today they could include a raspberry pie
A Macintosh apple...
How is this funny. Anyone could write this crap
The eggsbox 360 caught me offguard😂😂😂...
💀💀💀
@@claymo. 🤨🤨🤨😐😐😐😐😐🤨🤨🤨
@@tomholleman8506
Love this. You can tell that they're having a really hard time not cracking up, especially when they get to the "dongles".
Thank you Ronnie Corbett for all the laughs you have given us, legend.
Absolutely love these sketches pure innocent jokes but utterly hilarious
Harry can barely keep it together 😂
Back in the day, my mum was involved working with barker and his creative team. The brainstorming sessions would go on into the small wee hours with everyone in fits of hilarity. No alcohol required.

This is so classic British comedy, love this type of comedy and the British comedy from the 60's 70's and 80's
RIP Ronnie Corbett.

we are doing this for a gang show

Loving tribute to one of the greatest sketches ever. I bet every comedian wanted to work with Ronnie Corbett.
Ronnie Corbett - Total Legend. He will be missed by LOTS of people. RIP
It's quite remarkable how many food based puns they could come up with for consumer electronics.
It does show how much work went into 2R's sketches & how hard it is to keep a straight face. So cleaver.
The apple crashed because he booted it through Windows.
golden comment
Yep he needs to boot it on a mac
@@tommillard4193 mac(aroni) 😂😂
Windows will do that even if it wasn't an apple...
Its a pane when that happens.
Was the apple a duo-core?
Hilarious clip 😄 that dongle part 🤣 I'm Dutch and I love this kind of humour! RIP Ronnie
Still a classic after all these years!!! Nostalgia of note! Love it!!
Dommage que je ne comprenne pas, j aime l humour Anglais 👍🇨🇵🇬🇧
@@Christine16425 Ok. Whatever that means in French 😁. I will agree for the sake of it. 😉
Brilliant sketch...perfectly written and fantastically acted by both Enfield and Corbett!
The lost art of humour with innuendo without being vulgar, the brits are masters at it. Just my humble opinion.
Dommage que je ne comprenne pas, j adore l humour Anglais. 🇨🇵👍🇬🇧
Your humble opinion is absolutely correct
Ronnie Corbett and Harry Enfield doing a modern take on a Two Ronnies classic. Fantastic stuff.
It might be time to do a sequel...with cookies, raspberry pi, wife-eye and few more twists!
Python, cloud......just remember to give me writing credits please!
This IS a sequel.
@@DerekHartley Yes, we could also get a SQL gag in there too.
@@jpswerve182 no bruv you only contributed cloud and how are they gonna use python in a pun? And you literally asking for writing credits?!
Genius. A very intelligent pastiche of his own sketch 20 years on and brilliantly repurposed.
And the punchline was right in front of us!
Brilliant simple comedy/parody at its best.
R.I.P Funny Man, small in stature large in laughter, loved the show.
How can anyone give this the thumbs down, its classic British humour, the best...
It will be techno nerds who don't like the Mickie being taken out of their jargon!!
youtube overlords have corrected that and removed all downvotes because feelings
Now you can sleep well, dislikes are hidden.

Few have made me laugh more than the two Ronnies. I miss them from my childhood. Absolutely hilarious.
What a classic this will be become. I love the part where Harry is trying to keep his face straight. 🤣🤣
One of my favorite British comedians! How sad! :( Rest in peace!
Pure. Comedy. Gold. A modern date version, in this sketch anyway, of the classic pairing of The Two Ronnies. Different eras providing different, but great comedy.
Now that's what I call a masterclass in comedy. Pure genius ! 👍
There's definitely a bit of the old comedy magic of Barker-Corbett here. RIP Messrs Ronnie and Ronnie - sadly missed.
eggs box 3.60
a masterpiece!
🤣
Lol
The Eggsbox 1.00 is better :)
This was PURE GENIUS!
What a superb duo!!!
Love how Harry Enfield nearly cracks up at times
Harry Enfield corpsing, almost repeatedly, just adds to the charm and humour of the sketch. Normally, it would've been a case of doing another take.
Great sketch, RIP Ronnie.
The true brilliance of British intelligence, humour and natural talent! Thank you very much Ronnie & Co!
Great whitt and brilliant banter. A awesome Sense of humor.
Jst found this nugget. I'm from NZ and we grew up on British humor on our telly and just brought back memories of just lovin' these classics. This is hilarious even today
Eggsbox... £3.60
Bob Samuri That sounds a bit expensive, and that is just for the box ;) No eggs included.
+serrie85 blimey is your eggsbox £3.60 not working, we've had a new one in since then eggsbox £1.00 :P
+Michael Murray i was just about to say that doesnt make sense. but before i could type that i realised :P
Jay Parmo
too bad it's not actually cheaper
Lol this appeared in my recommendation at same time where they're going to shut down blackberry phones.
1:50 Watching them trying hard not to laugh at their own jokes is the best part of this.
Classic comedy. Seeing the pair of them force smiles off their faces makes it all the better.
British humor alllll the wayyyy
True but they had me at blackberry! #TeamBlackberry
+Soren Spitama I were going to say the same, bad, easy and british humor xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
As soon as the word DONGLE is mentioned Harry does his very best not to break character ( but, a, little smerk shows) & yet another shows when Ronnie says my Mrs has seen quite a few in her time. Harry is on the point of bursting out. A brilliant sketch well acted out ❤💕it
Oooh, what a delight! Thank you. ❤️
Waych Harry Enfield trying to remain straightfaced at the "dongle" moment is hilarious.
Love this. And it's 2024🤣🤣😍
haha i love ronnie. he represent old school to the fullest
Right up there with four candles. Brilliant stuff :)
+Daniel Gould No, its fork handles, handles for forks!
Oh well why didn't you say?
I didn't wanna ruin the joke in case anyone hadn't been blessed with the education my dad provided me :)
Oh dear, in the sketch Ronnie Corbett says
" Oh well why didn't you say? "
Comedy and humor the elixir for a healthy mind
" Give me a date...certainly...let me put that date in my diary" 🤣
" You could try using a mouse drag the Blackberry to the trash "
I was in hysterics the first time it was aired, I could hardly breathe. Proper comedy at its best. 🤣😂😁
This is comedy gold...I literally was hysterical for ages 🤣😂😆
Classic British Comedy is some of the best comedies in the world.
Harry Enfield just about managed not to corpse during the dongle bit. 😂😂😂
It was a fake laugh, it was to prompt the audience to laugh that’s all.
@@brandons5426 !?
Classic humour, still funny after ten years 😂
After 11 too
After 12 too
Great tribute to the classic Fork Handles Two Ronnies sketch...a must see from 30 years ago.
😂😂😂 Yes laughter is good for the soul! British comedy is so wickedly the best 😊.
RIP to a very Dearly Loved and wonderful man, friend and hero of our time. 😊💕
Good bye, Ronnie Corbett. You were brilliant!
This has to be one of, if not the, greatest sketch of all time. You don’t get comedy like this anymore.
Its a homage to fork handles.
Very good indeed. Thanks for upload.
that is very good quality writing, you could see Harry Enfield trying to keep a straight face. Never even knew this show existed
A sketch so clever it deserves a PHD, probably one of the best sketches I’ve ever seen, written and executed perfectly.
Pretty Huge Dongle?
You mean skit?
Brilliant! A classic sketch where the present meets the past and Ronnie did it sooo brilliantly...
Absolutely brilliant comedy
A comedy legend at work. A loving tribute to 4 candles and equally funny. Good old Ronnie, could make comedy hilarious back in the day and in 2010
This really does feel like a Two Ronnies sketch for the modern day. Good job Ronnie!
great humour .Ronnie barker wrote a lot like this. 4 candles springs to mind.😁
That's the point. It's a tribute to the original sketch you mentioned.
Awesome bit of British Humour by far
I love how the shopkeep is trying so hard not to lose his shit :D
I missed that.....I thought he was trying not to laugh.
Would have been funnier if he was Greek. "Hallo everybody peeps".
@@hedgehog1965uk Oranges are round, they're staying round and they'll be around for ever!
It's just hilarious! I can't stop watching this over and over... :-)
Pure genious...you can't beat good old English humour
Two of the best at work.
Just heard today of the very sad death of Ronnie Corbett (31 March). Thanks for all the laughs Ronnie - God bless you!
Rest in Peace Ronnie Corbett, The Two Ronnies reunited now
Comedic genius.
fine comedy again from across the pond! good job chaps!
British comedy is on another level. Love it.
Timeless classic
2023 and It's still a hit.
Perhaps only until there is no one left who recognises such items and there is a need to research them? 🤔
Marvellous sketch.
