    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.

    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.

    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.

  • @TheManInTheLongBlackCoat
    @TheManInTheLongBlackCoat 3 года назад +6

    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.

    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.

      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 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.

    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.

  • @MarkPMus
    @MarkPMus 3 года назад +1

    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.

      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.

    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.
