Rubber = eraser (Not condom!)
The nun wants to correct her crossword, as she put 'shit' instead of 'grit'!
Also in the old days glass milk bottles with foil tops would be left out by the milkman, and the foil lids could be pecked through by birds, most often blue tits. So the answer is 'tits'. The Sun newspaper for years always had a topless model on page 3, hence the hint the man gives as to where to find the answer.
I remember the rather startled look, many years back, an American woman in our office gave a guy who'd asked he if she had a rubber he could borrow. I think it might have been the 'borrow' part that surprised her most.
Excellent explanation, David! From those unfamiliar with British way of life, these sketches can present difficulties.
If you liked this you should watch forkhandle sketch and porriage.
I’m Australian and had a British neighbour who moved here. Ordinary conversations with here were always hysterical, she’d have us in fits of laughter - a gorgeous funny caring woman. Honestly always had a smile on her face - sadly passed away, I still often see her smiling face in my mind 💞
Noddy is character in children's books, his best friend was Big Ears.
In America you call a rubber an eraser. The suggestion is the nun wrote “shit” and she needed to erase the S & H to make it grit.
It’s refreshing to see a young American man so willing to understand and learn another culture and to own up to the fact that he needs help.Keep up your good work, you are a rare breed indeed.
Page 3 in The Sun used to have a topless model. That’s why he says people only buy it for a couple of things.
And the clue, something something ts 🤭
Bring back page 3, Britain has never been the same since 😭
@@mattyd7839 No.
I'm British and I'm about the same age as you, and I understand just about all of the Two Ronnies' gags. Perhaps because a lot of the cultural references are still relevant to 21st century Britain, but also because I know what Britain was like in the 70s and 80s from talking to my parents and grandparents.
Grit used in bottom of budgie cage back in the day before sand sheets were used!
I regard Ronnie Barker as the greatest comedian I have ever seen seen and heard. His duo with Ronnie Corbett is unsurpassed as far as comedy duos go, absolutely brilliant.
The Sun newspaper shows topless women on Page 3, hence the added joke “Two across.” “Something-something T S” was suggestive of “tits.”
We used to get milk delivered to us early in the morning in milk bottles which birds used to peck through the seal to drink them.
“Place where fish are kept” was meant to be “bowl.” The Co-Op is a grocery store.
Noddy in Toyland is a child’s tv show on the books by Enid Blyton, along with his policeman friend Police Constable (PC) Plod, not “Plop.”
When the nun asks for a rubber, she means eraser, as she made a mistake, thinking that “something-something- I T” was “shit,” an added joke as you don’t think nuns say such words. Back then they nicknamed ‘rubbers’ in the playground, most likely due to the latex.
A rubber in Britain is an eraser in America.
Great play with words.
I used to love the two Ronnie's, still do. They were an institution,so clever and funny.
I loved the look on your face when he said "Queer Bee!" 🤣
I find it amusing to watch you become baffled by our comedy's. But as you say in another video, you are getting better it. 🙂
Always a joy to watch these two.... they’re on BBC 4 TV in the U.K. tonight as an Easter treat.
Happy Easter btw!
You too’
@@ItsJps and you. Keep up the good work. It’s gratifying seeing you getting more confident and being genuine with your reactions.
Another fab Ronnies sketch is Crossed Lines. Worth a watch but it does contain a lot of British references that you might not get 🙂
This made me laugh so much... I was a child when this was broadcast
We call they rubbers you call them erasers she wanted to rub her word in the crossword I think she’d put shit and the reference to the Sun newspaper on page 3 there was always a topples model and the bird was a tit great reaction love 💕 From Denise in Yorkshire England 😂😂🤣👏👏👏👍👋XX
The nun asked for a rubber which is eraser, she put the shit instead of grit 😂😂😂
Loving this channel when you hit 5.000 subs a live Q&A would be good but seen as most of your subs are in the UK timing would have to be right as this video has just landed and its like 03.30am. I think you opening a PO box is a better idea. love ya bro keep up the good work x
And the last clue was grit but the num had put sh** so she asked for a rubber. in UK a rubber is an eraser (not a condom) lol x
Your clocks wrong its 3.00 am
Yea I would have to do it in the morning for me so it’s afternoon for you guys
The nun was doing the same simple crossword as Ronnie Corbett and had put 'shit' as the answer to the last clue, and wanted a rubber to rub out her answer to put 'grit' in instead. The Sun is a UK newspaper and used to have a topless model on page 3 many years ago and a couple of the jokes were a reference to that. Try the ''round of drinks''' sketch.
Round of drinks is hilarious. I agree.
When the nun asked for a rubber she was referring to an eraser.
Having once totally embarrassed myself by shouting out “Could someone lend me a rubber?” amongst a room full of Canadians. The end of the sketch now has a Nun asking a train full of men if she can borrow a condom. 😂
Back when this was on that wouldn't have been widely known, and as they are all British in the train, no one would have throught that. I'm pretty certain the joke was that she had written something else and needed to rub it out, the insinuation being the nun wrote 'shit'.
The Two Ronnies in the sweet shop is really funny. This one was great too.
The Sun newspaper in England is a pretty low brow and coarse newspaper that has been around for a long time,, many many decades.... He also said something about Co-Op which in England is a very famous chain of moderately sized supermarkets... It stands for co-operative and has existed for,, I think, WELL over 100 years.
You'll love Porridge starring Ronnie Barker TV sitcom
already know its gonna be a banger
💯
I would like to see a reaction to comments explaining things you didn't get.
the SUN newspaper used to have a topless model on page 3
They were both very funny, mate an institution in the UK . Famous and loved by many generations.
Fustrating to watch, oh it drives you bonkers.
Noddy a character in a children's program, along with his mate big ears. So I had a foal born with big ears, so I nicknamed the foal NODDY , Do you get that?? Luckly he grew into his ears and won many many stallion comps in the Arabian show ring.
Rubber is an eraser "to rub out" to get rid of it.
Try Two Ronnies St Botolph's Country Dance. This is Morris Dancing,an actual traditional British countryside custom.This is the Two Ronnies take on it.Or give yourself a challenge. Cockney Rhyming Sermon. If u get Ronnie Barker's references then consider yourself an honoUrary (with the U) cockney geezer
'Crossed Lines' is another good Two Ronnies sketch
You are right,The Two Ronnies are so funny.
You are learning fella. A rubber in the UK is a condom. But also a pencil remover. Have fun mate. Take care. Steve.
Just thinking, if you're really curious about British comedy... have you ever watched any Blackadder? That's a classic, would be fun to see your reaction 😛
Understandable that some jokes were missed by you because the fact is that it would be very difficult for an American to obtain a copy of the Sun newspaper . As for the bird blue tit this was a reference to a time when milkmen would deliver bottled milk to the doorstep and blue tits on occasions peck through the tin foil top to get at the milk cream.
The Two Ronnies 'Accountancy Bore' sketch is my favourite. Please can you react to that one?
In British English “tits” is a vulgar referral to a female’s breasts hence, as people have said, the topless model on Page 3 of the newspaper The Sun should be a clue to the kind of bird that would peck holes in your milk bottle tops. The punchline is funny because the nun was obviously also doing the Sun crossword (the paper has a very scummy reputation for being smutty and vulgar), and she needed a rubber, which could be either an eraser or slang for condom. Obviously a nun reading the Sun and needing a condom is actually quite funny.
On your 5000 sub video you could react to a whole episode of something. For example Fawlty Towers would have you in stitches, (especially if you can find the Rat episode or The Builders) as Harry Enfield’s Television Program or Little Britain. I think an extra long episode of you laughing would be fun.
That’s a good idea
Yes, Fawlty Towers is a 1970's UK comedy of which only 12 episodes were made. It's about an inept and angry hotel owner who has a strange relationship with his wife and the hotel staff and definitely the customers!. It should be quite easy to follow even if there are references to purely British things in it. There are also Scottish comedies Rab C. Nesbitt from the 80's/90s and Still Game from the early 2000's, and although the strong Glasgow dialects of those and some unique Scottish words might take a bit of getting used to, I have seen other Americans reacting to them.
Learn more about the English language and sense of humour.
You don't seem to have much of a clue
she wanted a rubber (an eraser) because she had written "SHIT" instead of "GRIT"
A live Q&A sounds good. :)
Please, you gotta react to Monty Python... they invented parody comedy. The Life of Brian (1979 movie) or Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975 movie) or anything by them. You can easily find their stuff on YT.
The nun had obviously put sh*t... Loving your reactions dude. :)
Ok I will react to them!
@@ItsJps are my replies blocked??
@ItsJps - or, cheese shop, black knight, argument, parrot sketch, she's a witch, biggus dickus.
There are so many classic sketches from them! and all really good. :)
Hmm... the replies with links won't show up... dunno.
British people also use the word "queer" to denote someone not feeling well.
Oh ok
No they don't. It is a euphemism for gay.
@@brianstockport yes they do, used to say 'I feel a bit queer' meaning feeling a bit 'strange' or 'odd'.
@@daemonicstar That's right,back in my day that term was always used if you were not feeling too well as well as having that other meaning.
The nun thought it was ‘shit’
They put grit in the bottom of the bird cage to keep it clean
The Sun was infamous for its page 3 girls, young women posing semi-nude.
React to 'Your nuts M'lord'. Another great word play sketch.
Please have a look at The Two Ronnies Swedish Made Simple. No “in jokes” to worry about or references to British culture at the time!
Page 3 of the Sun used to have pictured of topless women on it.
I would like you just to be happy with the good you're doing!
This is a bit of a risque one. The animals pecking holes in bottletops are tits; he'd get the answer on Pg 3 of the Sun cause that paper was famous for it's Pg 3 female topless models & the nun needs a rubber, that's an eraser, cause she, like you had written shit as her answer. I love that you're doing the 2 Ronnie's. I loved watching them when I was a kid & I'm really impressed at how many of the jokes you manage to get.
what you call an eraser the brits call a rubber
Excellent 🇬🇧😜😎😋😊😝🤣😂 x
the nun had written shit 🤣Rubber - eraser
Much loves bro ❤️❤️
You MUST watch the crossed lines sketch where they are talking on the phone. In my opinion it's the best two ronnie's sketch ever.
When you hit 5,000 why don't you choose 5 things and give us the choice and which one has the most votes you do when you hit the 5,000
That’s smart I’ll do a poll on the community tab
Erasure is the translation for rubber ....when you make a written mistake you use a rubber to Correct it ...love your channel by the way .
Did you mean to type "eraser"?
@@steevenfrost hi yes it’s what you use to rub out mistakes in England we call them rubbers unfortunately rubbers are also a nick name for condoms
i like that comment!
They are the masters of there art
The comment early on about buying the Sun (newspaper): they only buy it for one reason, well, two reasons...
Every day in page three is (was) a naked female who had a sizeable pair... hence, the two reasons!
The reference to page three was 'tits'...blue tits often pecked their way through the milk tops.
The nun obviously wrote in SHIT!
A rubber in UK means an eraser
Brilliant!
Two Ronnie "racing duck"
5K - React to some of the comments on your videos (i realise you reply to them as well, but it would be fun to see you reacting even to some of the not so nice ones, not that I've even noticed any, but I guess they exist).
You could even ask us to leave you questions in your next video, and answer them in the 5K video.
Either way it would be nice to se a video of just you talking and not just a reations...not that your reactions aren't great you understand!
I'll ask a question, what _were_ your favourite comedy movies/shows/comedians before the channel, and have your opinions changed?
Yea I’ll make a video where people can exclusively comment things! Thanks for the idea!
A rubber is an eraser
The Nun had written Shit. A rubber in the UK is an eraser, not a condom!
The Nun be red an eraser that is CV rubber here. She had written shit not true lol
You should react to little britain or little britain usa or both. I always love the Carol beer sketches or I love you more than sketches from the usa version. The posh people sketch in catherine tate is brilliant as well.
A RUBBER IS AN ERASER IN UK.
Ok mate. A rubber is an eraser to the US I think.
Hey JP, check out ‘The Sun page 3 girls’ lol
She put Sh instead of Gr so needed to rub it out.
Minister for Sex Equality is another one to look out for. If only for the ..... erm ..... outfit!
Very funny , yes , but against " Fawlty Towers " . Hmmm .
The Nun had put shit not grit, in her crossword
Hi Hun...pls watch 'Fork Handles' The Two Ronnie's..Brilliant x
There is another funny, USA v UK politics
You should react to there stories, PHANTOM RASPBERRY BLOWER OF OLD LONDON TOWN OR THE WORM THAT TURNED
Love the Phantom Raspberry Blower 😁
Try looking up the one Ronnie I've got something wrong with my Apple
The nun has written sh** instead.
The nun wrote “shit”.
You must watch Swedish made simple - another one of the Two Ronnies great sketches...
F.U.N.E.M?
Now jps..times are moved on you must get that end joke now..if not let me know..its so obvious .! Xx
Rubber = eraser
Trying watching steptoe and son comedy
Okay, I'm spamming your comment section now, but I can't remember if I've requested you react to Monty Python yet, I think I have...what's going on!
Same here mate... I've put links too. :)
I got you guys I’ll react to it!
Dead Parrot sketch first?
@@ItsJps @ItsJps That would be my choice, there are at least three versions on YT I believe.
1. The OG from their OG TV series.
ruclips.net/video/z9SMUzj-_4Q/видео.html
2. A version from a _film_ they did which was basically a collection of a number re-filmed versions of sketches from their TV series.
ruclips.net/video/vZw35VUBdzo/видео.html
3. A live version filmed on stage.
ruclips.net/video/F_hfOY4IIuk/видео.html
All have their merits but I'd rank them in the numbered order to be seen by a first timer. (especially the live version to be seen last, since much of its comedy comes from the viewers knowledge of the sketch, I think).
Thanks!!
Nun meant shite
Sorry,that's 5 letters not 4.
@@andrewmccormack4295 That's how we say in Scotland
A rubber is an eraser what you use to remove led pencil from paper
Rubber ... eraser, but coming from a nun, that’s the last thing Ud expect to hear.
That's fine mate, you're not going to get much hate from most Brits in thinking the Two Ronnies are the funniest comedians you've reacted to! We largely agree that they're among our best.
lol When Barker says Queer Bee, he's likely using the word queer in it's more archaic (and not often used) sense, to mean not ordinary, it's not specific at all to sexuality, though he is a word smith and probably intended some giggles from the other meaning.
