Oh I miss watching Morecambe and Wise soooo much. These two, the Two Ronnies, Mike Yarwood and so many more. They were true comedians. We haven’t seen their like since and unfortunately never will again. Today’s ‘comedians’ (and I use the term loosely) can’t hold a candle to them. RIP to all the late greats of comedy. We miss you 😢
I love all the stage sets and props. So much hard work gone into the design and making of them just for a short skit. I wish we still had comedy like this.
Redcicada Lincoln…well, depending where you live, we still do have good comedy. One person’s experience (ie. yours) doesn’t make something generally true for everyone everywhere.
It became a real accolade for so many top actors and entertainers to appear with Eric and Ernie over the years. Just shows how popular they were, as were their shows.
i dont mean to be so off topic but does someone know of a way to log back into an instagram account? I was dumb forgot the account password. I love any help you can offer me.
I cannot watch Eric and Ernie without seeing Dad. He was the spitting image of Eric, and as funny. We always watched the show..They are both long gone now. When comedy was great.
Such a joy. Timeless. Eric is just so effortlessly funny & having a blast. Town centres used to be dead when their shows aired & Xmas ones got 17million viewers.
Some estimates say that 28 million viewers watched their Xmas show in 1977. That would have been half of the entire British population. Unheard of today for any British TV show.
It has been a pleasure watching this antique SitCom. Thank you for uploading it, senor 2Descaro. "Gentlemen this is Abdul. Abdul, this is gentlemen." Witty, silly, brilliant !
'boulder dash' - I just love how funny these guys were. Nothing beats good old British humour, that coming from a German that left his boring old country, full of arch conservative bureaucrats. There is a fine art to comedy, which some people will never get right.
(guest) Hello, George, So glad you like Morecambe and Wise.☺. They were very popular, for decades, and their shows are often repeated, especially at Christmas, etc. ☺🌹☺.
A good joke is funny, most people tell a good joke and make people laugh. But to actually be funny is something else altogether. Eric was a comedy genius and with Ernie by his side they were on top of the world
This was the sketch that introduced Eric & Ernie's dancing walk. They used it for the rest of their TV career, and for a while it became a part of British culture. To some of us of a certain age, it still is!

It has recently been suggested that the artefacts in the tomb of king tut were smeared with toxic substances. These substances may have killed lord Carnarvon and others.
@TheRenaissanceman65 OK, try this. I was *_Wise,_* or rather _wise,_ (as in _earnest_ ) to what you posted _after_ I'd posted rather less _earnestly_ in reply to you. In essence I meant that I'd understood your response and I replied playing on the word _wise._ The difference I was underlining _originally_ was that *Shakespeare,* whose use of language I truly admire, would probably _never_ have used the facetious locution that *Ernie,* who I also admire, famously did (though I suspect it was *Eric's* idea - and I admire _him_ even more). *_Pterry_* would have known what I meant as would *P. G. Wodehouse* but, as I said, it's rather elliptical.
@TheRenaissanceman65 No. *Ernie* wrote many plays that are lost to history, attributed to such as *De Vere,* and many others that I know not wot of. Perhaps you could elucidate further. As I recall it *Ernie* wrote *_Macbeth,_* a truly wondrous play. Did he also write *_Loves' Labours Lost,_* a great political play according to *Barry Cryer?* *_ISIRTA_* nearly _rools_ but *_ISIHAC_* went further - but maybe only in _my_ opinion!
The last bastion of vaudeville. The joy this couple brought to so many was unparalleled.

And Tommy Cooper
It looks like they were all struggling to keep their composure...Love it.
never in the field of human comedy was so much owed by so many to these two !!!!
Absolutely. Bloody brilliant. And very nice people.
They were the best of the best R I P and thank you for the memories
The synchronised dance routine was hilarious… & much more difficult to execute than they made it look!
👏😊

@MichaelKingsfordGray
Now there is a non sequitur if ever I saw one.
We do, It's called American politics.
I expect they just borrowed them from the British Museum.
Redcicada Lincoln…well, depending where you live, we still do have good comedy. One person’s experience (ie. yours) doesn’t make something generally true for everyone everywhere.
That's the BBC license fee at work.
Wonderful to see Eric and Ernie enjoying themselves in one of the best plays wat Ernie rote!
It became a real accolade for so many top actors and entertainers to appear with Eric and Ernie over the years. Just shows how popular they were, as were their shows.
Still miss them after all these years. Thank you M & W for all the memories, all the laughs that are still funny today.

From the US. I just discovered these guys. They are funny as hell!😂
leslie beddingfield well done British comedy at its best
leslie beddingfield Leslie, you might like their ‘Breakfast’ routine.
*leslie beddingfield*
You're right, of course, but I wish more of _us_ got *_Bilko_* and other great comedy from the *USA.*
Morecambe and Wise appeared on the Ed Sullivan show several times. There are clips on UA-cam. Check them out
*leslie beddingfield* Really? I always thought it was Jack Hylton who discovered these guys.
Classic comedy from dear Eric and Ern. RIP x 2 💜💜 My favorite comedy team of all time.
I cannot watch Eric and Ernie without seeing Dad. He was the spitting image of Eric, and as funny. We always watched the show..They are both long gone now. When comedy was great.
Nice 🙏
Me too. My dad recycled all Eric's jokes. We had bring me sunshine as the last song at his funeral. ❤
My Grandad was the spitting image of him as well, same glasses, pipe and silly sense of humour.
@@Omegaman1969 My Grandad was the same. And i still miss him.
Aww bless you and so true 🙏and absolutely comedy at its best
absolutly loved this, reminded me of wilson kepple and betty
😁😆❤️ Thanks, all those laughs. I miss this sort of comedy.

I thought I had seen all of these shows hundreds of times, but I don't remember this one. I did enjoy it,..... and I still have my socks on as well!
Absolute genius - so simple, so innocent, so funny.
innocent ?
As always comedy at its best.
Robert Morley an underrated actor.
It's great to see these silly sketches again.
It has been a pleasure watching this antique SitCom. Thank you for uploading it, senor 2Descaro. "Gentlemen this is Abdul. Abdul, this is gentlemen." Witty, silly, brilliant !
It's not a sitcom, it's a sketch comedy show.
Had never seen this. Totally hilarious!Earnie loses it a few times. So natural. Love it.
"Gentlemen...walk this way!"
After about a million times, that gag NEVER gets old!
synth on a plinth Benny hill
I still use it when conducting tours.
Eric usually answered "I would if I could" or "If we walk that way we'll get arrested".
@@colinp2238
Another one is "If I could walk that way I wouldn't need the ointment."
"I'm looking for some perfume", "Yes, Madam, walk this way", "If I could walk that way, I wouldn't need the perfume".
I can see why they loved Abbot and Costello, especially there movie Abbot and Costello meet the Mummy.Truly miss there Christmas show
It's hilarious !!! Eric even works the Waiter's mistake into the Script @2:25 - "Would You BLIKE to buy a nice Hookah...???" 😆
The best comedy duo since Laurel and Hardy

Hello, George,
So glad you like Morecambe and Wise.☺.
They were very popular, for decades,
and their shows are often repeated,
especially at Christmas, etc.
☺🌹☺.
With the great Robert Morley... was an excellent character actor.
at first i thought this video was going to suck and i almost clicked away.
I AM SO GLAD I DIDN'T
Robert Morley would have amazed the audience by keeping his end up in such a sketch with the masters
And he ended a scene doing the Morecambe and Wise dance (5:46) - "That's going to be difficult for me". What a trouper!
"Would have?" He did!
The Two Tone Tessie joke was gold!!!!
Two TON........as in weight.
Love it. Etched in my memory.
Love the way that Janet Webb has more to do than usual in this one.
I'd like to thank you all for watching me and my little show.
A good joke is funny, most people tell a good joke and make people laugh. But to actually be funny is something else altogether. Eric was a comedy genius and with Ernie by his side they were on top of the world

Unexpected treat - coming across this sketch on UA-cam.
Amazing comedians, love them xx
No
That just cracked me up! Absolutely hilarious 😂😂😂😂
Eric and Ernie were absolute legends. Sadly missed.
"Did you hire the camel?"
"I had to. It only came up to my knees!"
Classic comedy!
Some people can't spell higher, tsk tsk...
@@D800Lover what do you mean. It's spelled right. It's a pun on hire/higher?
@@dee4174 - Mine was a pun on a pun, right? :)
I can remember back in the late sixties and early seventies when we were kids, the Xmas shows, my dad pissing himself laughing.
That dance with Tutantessie cracked me up!
"Gentlemen, this is Abdul - Abdul, this is gentlemen"
That cracked me right up :D
The greatest duo of comedians that ever existed !!!!!
Totally stupid and nonsense! and I love it.
I do that 'walk this way' gag to this day. 🕺
Me too
This was the sketch that introduced Eric & Ernie's dancing walk. They used it for the rest of their TV career, and for a while it became a part of British culture. To some of us of a certain age, it still is!
Robert Morley made a decent stab at the silly walk.
I watch this all the time and the two parts that constantly make me smile are 4:48 and 6:48
"This is the Guide?"
"Yes... Abdul"
"ABDUL!"

@Boss Rooster was he?
@@figjam59
Not that anyone knows, even the omniscient *Boss Rooster.*
@@philaypeephilippotter6532 I'm not aware of any such scandal linked to him, neither is Wikipedia.
@@figjam59
Nor are the several sites I visited. *Boss Rooster* is just trolling.
It's a pity that UK law doesn't acknowledge that the dead can be libelled and allow their estates to take action over such scurrilous remarks.
The waiter is brilliant... "a thousand apologies "
Thanks for posting! :) LOVE IT
Morley is having an uphill battlewith wise trying so hard to be serious
Nice job - that tomb.
I like a good Morecambe and Wise tale.
They should have redone this sketch in the late ‘70’s - and when they open the tomb...
...out pops Steve Martin doing his King Tut number!
6:01 No don't! That's the tomb of Sutekh..oh wrong show😆
12:48 to 12:58 It was very kind of them to give the woman 10sec to catch her breath! Bless them.

Q: How do you gain entry into a pyramid?
A: You toot an’ come in! (Tutankhamen?)
😁👍
The great Robert Morley brought low.
Just pure comedy
"Gentlemen, walk this way!" 👏
Classic funny and clever
Comedy at it's best.
He got his socks on.
Incomparable.
The cigarette lighter is very funny!
They're his mementoes! 😂😂😂

What happened to Abdul the guide? Very nice. was 'oping to see more of him!
You can see more of him as George's dad in 'George and Mildred' he's great in that also, really disgusting!!!
She's known as Nell,

The best part about it is that Ernie just absolutely loves Eric.
This show is neat!
He's like the rest of them...he's kept his socks on......
Gotta love the Brits

Sadly for you it's not. *Pamela Cundell* played *_Mrs Fox._* This was *Janet Webb* I believe.
Yes, I can see why You thought that. They are quite similar. 🙂
Brilliant

It has recently been suggested that the artefacts in the tomb of king tut were smeared with toxic substances. These substances may have killed lord Carnarvon and others.

Hilarious 😂
Sounds like an Eddie Braben script.
