Hello! I’m so sorry, but can you please retell briefly what is the story about. I’m studying English, so I don’t understand it perfectly. I am not sure that I understand the narrator right. Please, help me. I am so sorry if I am bothering you with this 😣😊
@@flayza6687 it’s Cockney rhyming slang the last word in every phrase should rhyme with the actual word they mean. Apples and Pairs = Stairs. Froth and Bubble = Trouble. Dog and Bone = Phone. It gets more complicated as so many people know the Pairings of these rhymes they shorten them to the first part only in conversation. For example someone might say “I’m am having a bit of Froth” meaning they are having a bit of trouble, they have just dropped the second part of the phrase (bubble) as for those who know them they are so familiar.
Ronnie Barker...Comedy Genius....! Spike Milligan...Comedy Genius.....! Eric Sykes.........Comedy Genius.....! Although Spike had an honorary Knighthood,It pains Me that Ronnie and Eric left Us without even being considered for same....!
Brilliant! I went looking for this a while ago and couldn't find it. Thanks Hari for pointing it out and to whoever posted it. I think this is a great example of the genius of Ronnie Barker. How could there be another like him.
limeyosu2000 He said "Mozart" instead of "Brahms and Liszt", which of course means "pissed" - so it was a double joke and a sly wink at the censors. Good ol' RB.
Can confirm. I'm Hungarian and I have no clue what's going on here, even though I have been exposed to British culture for some time now. But it seems that rural slang, or whatever this is, is sealed away from us, foreigners.
@@martonk This is old London speak known as Cockney. Some of us still use it today in part. Like myself you have to be born a traditional Londoner to understand some of it. We are part of a dying breed now as most people that live in London don't tend to use it.
Most jokes these days are about giving sneezing elephants plenty of room, or brown and sticky being a stick, I miss the old fashioned jokes. One of my favorite jokes: Q: what's brown and smells and sits on a piano stool? A: Beethoven's last movement!

Ronnie Barker was just riveting in this sketch. He was a comedic genius! ☺
As a child I was allways forced to go to Church every Sunday....if the sermons had been this good... I might have kept going!!
‘And the small brown Richard the third flew back to its nest”... wonderful misdirection and set up. 👏👏👏👏

@@NPA1001 wow, thank you so much. You helped me a lot :))))
Keeping a straight face while doing this sketch is a feat in itself.
I'm presuming Ronnie Barker may have written this or you read it so often before you perform it you dont laugh.
Ronnie Barker...Comedy Genius....!
Spike Milligan...Comedy Genius.....!
Eric Sykes.........Comedy Genius.....!
Although Spike had an honorary Knighthood,It pains Me that Ronnie and Eric left Us without even being considered for same....!
A genius at work!
If only all sermons were like this. 😂

Classic. Right up there with The Two Ronnies' (both comedy genii, by the way) "F.U.N.E.X.". Simply brilliant. Thanks for this piece of gold dust.
A thouand thanks for posting this masterpiece.
Thanks very much indeed for uploading.
Absolutely suberb - one of my all time favourite RB sketches.
Same here. I had to search for a long time to find it, but got there eventually. Superb stuff. :)
a Rich, " 4 by 2ish Merchant " ... Brilliant !!! 😂
Love this sketch - so very funny
This is true comic genius.
this is pure genius, Barker was such a talent! RIP Ronnie. Only thing I did not get was Mozart! I know elephants truck is drunk.
limeyosu2000 He said "Mozart" instead of "Brahms and Liszt", which of course means "pissed" - so it was a double joke and a sly wink at the censors. Good ol' RB.
Thanks for uploading!
I also spent ages looking for this.
I was somehow under the impression this was a Rowan Atkinson sketch. He plays a lot of vicars
Brilliant
My hero
todays news from leicester reminded me of this brilliant sketch
oh my
perchance the biggest Pilkingtons I've yet to contact.
Briliant
If you like this, you'll love Spike Milligan's 'policeman sermon'!
people nowadays actually watch"big band theory" and "how i met your mother" over Comedy like this.
"Richard the Third" XD
РУССКИЕ ПОМОГИТЕ, О ЧЕМ ЭТОТ ТЕКСТ????
хахаха
Ты олимпиаду пишешь?
@@user-yy8hi7rs9v ахахахахах ты тоже??
ахаххаха, тоже пишу))
ты всё таки поняла о чём??
Nastya Korotkova да
who thinks ronnie here gives the glimpse of mel smith in this guise???
Yet another British-only sketch. No one from outside the U.K. can possibly know what this isa bout.
Lance Baker so what.

Bristol city is NOT slang for a city LOL
написала олимпиаду👍🏻😍🤪💓💔
bloody criminal if you ask me!
What?
Limited knowledge of rhyming slang makes me yearn for subtitles. Who's brave enough?
not all of this is real rhyming slang but this is a translation in the context of the sketch
trouble and strife - wife
tea leaf - thief
bricks and mortar - daughter
bees and honey - money
Burton on Trent - rent
half inch - pinch (steal)
ball of chalk - walk
cherry ripe - pipe
arm and rocks - socks (i think!)
Dicky dirt - shirt
round the houses - trousers
frog and toad - road
bristol - city (as in Bristol city fc)
how De dos - shoes (i think)
Westminster abbey - shabby
cape of good hope - soap
bushel and peck- neck
two thirty - dirty
pen and ink - stink
north and south - mouth
mince pies - eyes
i suppose - nose
sauspan lid - quid (a pound)
uncle Fred - bread
stand at ease - cheese
early doors - drawers ( women's underwear )
George raft - draft
rub a dub - pub
tumble down the sink - drink
elephants trunk and motzart - drunk
bird lime - time ( pub closing time)
cat and mouse - house

"Elephant's trunk" is drunk. "Mozart" means "Mozart and Liszt", i.e. pissed. I think "Brahms (and Liszt)" is slightly more commonly used.
