You should watch the Andre Previn sketch.
It's often voted among the best ever comedy moment ever shown on British tv.
Amen to that!
My mum was a professional dancer and worked with Eric and Ernie before they went on tv. She said they were on the verge of giving up their act. She said they were lovely. The Morecambe and Wise show were huge over here in the UK. The Christmas specials were part of everyone's Christmas day. They were fantastic. They used to perform plays that Ernie was meant to have written. Superstars all wanted to appear on the show. They had a long running joke with a famous tv presenter/singer called Des O'connor. They loved to send him up about his music so he would often appear in their shows. Try the 'Andre Previn' sketch, or Andre Preview as they kept calling him. Andre is a world famous musician.
I loved Ernies plays where he would get stars to make fools of themselves. It was the mainstay on Christmas Day.
Cool story
Singing in the Rain is a must watch :Yes you did a background check at last, on
a new show ,
That's one of their best!
Many years ago I had the pleasure of meeting Ernie Wise, he lived on my Police beat and on Christmas Day he would purposely set off the intruder alarm at his house, this necessitated a visit by the police. On arrival Ernie and his wife would wish us ‘merry Christmas’ and offer us a mince pie and a hot toddy (non alcoholic of course) They were a charming couple and very supportive of the Police. Happy memories!
Then you arrested them for wasting police time. :)
@@Rickkennett143 that would have brightened up the custody suite 😀😀
Bucks,my friend?
Morecambe & Wise were head & shoulders above the other comedians during the 1970’swhen I was a very young boy. They’re still amongst my favourites.
This duo’s Christmas special were the most watched programme over the holidays
And their s*xtape was the most watched on Valentine's day
I grew up on them. :-)
@@jackthelad9933 me too
Eric’s mother was their first manager, she was the one who pushed Eric and Ernie to work together when they were still teenagers. They were both very close friends, even when they got married and had kids, the families were so closely connected that Ernie was basically seen as an uncle to Eric’s three children.
They never had a moment of animosity, the only time there was a bit of strain was in the late 60s. Morecambe and Wise were actually part of the British Invasion, they appeared three times on ‘The Ed Sullivan Show’, and were close to making it big in America, which was what Ernie always wanted, but Eric halted those plans because he didn’t like flying, he wasn’t happy with the thought of having to start their careers all over again, after how many years it had taken them to get established in Britain and then his heart attack happened, so any prospect of flying was made close to impossible after that.
Before his sudden death in 1984, Eric was considering ending the partnership, because he was becoming dissatisfied with the quality of work in their latest series, plus he had his 2nd heart attack just before they started working on their new show, but because he loved Ernie and knew how much Ernie loved performing, he couldn’t bring himself to mention it.
I think it was his 3rd heart attack that was fatal. Which he had after just coming off stage after doing a charity appearance for his friend Stannett (can't think of his first name without looking it up) but without checking I could be wrong.
@@paulmaxey6377 Yes, it was his 3rd heart attack that killed him, and it was Stan Stennett.
Ý@@BronyDanProductions
The two to watch are the Andre Previn sketch and also their morning routine set to the tune of The Stripper. M & W were deservedly massive here in the UK and very much loved.
You should check out their sketch with the Beatles in the early 60s. I'm sure Nick will appreciate that one😊😊
Morecambe and Wise are so missed and loved still ❤️. Famous people queued up to appear in their shows and in the plays 'wot Ernie wrote' ❤️😅 Please react to their Andre Previn sketch. It's a joy to behold ❤👋
OMG! what a brilliant rabbit hole you've found. hope you do more!
Hi both, you should watch the clip with as Andre Preven. Morecambe and wise were huge, and best friends their entire careers. There Christmas shows were the most watched shows in the UK.
+1 for this!
Morecambe and Wise was a staple whilst I was growing up in the UK during the 70's.
They always remained good friends and are part of traditional British psyche.
They first performed in 1941 and worked together until Eric Morecambe's death in 1984.
Nick, you are one of the American reactors to nail Eric Morecambe's name. His birth name was Eric Bartholomew and took his stage name from his home town, the seaside resort of Morecambe in Lancashire. He met Ernie Wiseman during WW2 and shared digs. The two soon became very close friends, and with Eric's mother Sadie's encouragement started to develop a double act. Eric started to have heart trouble, and had had two heart attacks and corrective surgery, and in 1984, just after completing a comedy retrospective for charity with friend and comedian Stan Stennett, and had said his goodbyes to the audience, collapsed offstage with a third and this one was fatal.
When looking at how active Eric was in the act, it is amazing to think that this man suffered heart problems. I hope you sample some more of the lads work. They were comedic genius.
You said Eric Wiseman I think you mean Ernie 😊
@@deborahcox921 OOPS!
@@deborahcox921 Thanks for that! Corrected! 👍👍
They were best of pals, and it showed in their comedy. They just totally hit off of each other and the results were often hilarious.
The Morcambe and Wise 1977 Christmas special had viewing figures of over 20 million. They were and still are hugely popular. Their Breakfast sketch is one of the greatest sketches of all-time.
A friend of mine had been a manager at a bank branch in London. One day, a young guy walked in around lunch-time, intent on a stick up, just like this. The particular lady teller had had a lousy morning, and simply looked at him & told him to 'F&ck Off !!'. The would be robber looked sheepish, turned round, and just walked out.
I used to work in a prison. One of the inmates was ‘not the full ticket’ as we used to say.
Apparently he had held up a bank armed with a water pistol, saying “Hand over the money or I’ll shoot.”
She didn’t. He shot her with water. The security guard arrested him immediately.
😂😂😂
The good old days, miss them. Thank you for the nostalgia as they remind me of my family together laughing. Sadly missed.
I would strongly recommend watching a few more of their sketches to get acquainted with their style and then watching the superb biopic Eric and Ernie.
Please go down this rabbit hole. You won’t regret it.
Nearly half the UK population used to watch their Christmas TV Shows where they had the top names in Show Business of that era as their guests.
They were lovely Guys and great friends and a National Institution in more innocent times.
Finally. An original video reaction. The Andre Previn clip is funny but has been done elsewhere. Morecambe and Wise with Shirley Bassey ' boot sketch' is worth a watch.
There sketch "singing in the rain" is a classic and so funny. Ernie is the straight man to Eric's "clown".
They had a primetime Saturday night variety show in which there were guest stars, comedy sketches and at the end a play "wot Ernie wrote", Check out the Andre Previn sketch (he is a famous conductor) and the play about Cleopatra among many others. Oh and they also do a great Mastermind sketch that is different to the Two Ronnies Mastermind sketch.
Is the Cleopatra sketch the Glenda Jackson one? I can't find it on UA-cam
Welcome to 'Morecambe & Wise'. I grew up watching the duo. Those were happy days.
I could be very wrong here, but I sometimes think that 'The Two Ronnies' was loosely based on 'Morecambe & Wise'.
Stick with them, and you'll enjoy the sketches.
Singing in the Rain is a gem
Oh guys......you have just discovered two of the funniest comedians the UK has ever produced. So to give you hint about where to go next try the sketch with Andre Previn (who was a famous classical musician in the day).
That was funny as hell that sketch.
there was a great BBC drama called Eric and Ernie that covered their early years and rise to fame made in 2011 which is well worth a watch
I would like to echo the recommendations of others and suggest the Andre Previn Sketch. They worked with many high profile celebrities and Previn was the conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra, so a very serious musician. Eric Morecambe was a perfectionist and a stickler for rehearsing sketches to within an inch of their lives. However, Andre Previn was an extremely busy man and was unable to set the time aside for rehearsal, but assured them that he had memorised the script. This caused Eric a lot of anxiety. You can almost spot the moment in the early part of the sketch that he realised it's going to be okay when Andre Previn delivers a line perfectly and Eric Morecambe acknowledges it enthusiastically.
" I'll go get my baton..... It's in Chicago " 🤣🤣
Andre Previn sketch , brilliant
Many bank branches are closing in Britain so you’d be lucky to find one nowadays.
Oh dear..what's going to happen to polite bank robbers?
@@steevenfrost Well, you joke about it but older Guys used to earn a decent living raiding the odd Post Office, Bank, and Building Society and it seems unfair, somehow, that their livelihood is being affected...
The Cleopatra Sketch with Glenda Jackson is a classic as is their sketch with Shirley Bassey
Eric & Ernie started working together as children and Eric's Mother used to chaperone them as they travelled around the country, pre. their TV days. They grew to be more like brothers than work colleagues and remained very close until Eric's death. They still hold the record for the largest UK TV audience ever for a light entertainment show, their 1977 Christmas Special. Over half of the UK population watched it. They are still loved today, years after they both died, because they were so warm and generous.
Morecombe and Wise were with The Two Ronnies were the two biggest and best comedians on the TV for decades. Huge stars of stage and screen from both sides of the Atlantic would fall over themselves to be on The Morecombe and Wise show. There are a huge amount of hilarious material from them that would last you a lifetime to explore.
Morecombe and Wise met when they were kids when they were both kid acts and it was Eric Morecombe's mother's idea to have them do a double act. When they first had their television act it wasn't a success and one of the critic's wrote: Television, the box that they buried Morecombe and Wise in. They did come back though and became one of the favourite double acts and their Christmas Specials were an highlight of every Christmas. They did do some shows in the US, appearing on the Ed Sullivan Show a number of times. In fact Ernie Wise wanted to stay in the US but Morecombe didn't and so they didn't stop in the US even though they could have been successful in the US. Morecombe had several heart attacks which was another reason why they only did Christmas Specials and he would succumb to his final heart attack after doing a charity appearance for a friend when he collapsed and died shortly after coming off stage. Wise almost completely retired, although he would appear sometimes and was in some shows and films. There is a documentary film about their lives. If I can find it and the name of it I will leave at least the name of it in a comment below. have a look at their Mastermind, Singing in the Rain and Andre Previn sketches as well as their mini 'shows'.
I’ve been pushing M & W to you guys for ages now. So many great sketches/shows for you to see. All good, clean fun with no profanities. The Andre Previn sketch, the musical numbers parodying Hollywood musicals, the funny (but meant to be serious) plays that Ernie Wise (the shorter one) wrote, which attracted so many famous guest stars to play in them. So much great stuff.
The boys are slightly different from The Two Ronnies in that they don’t act in their shows separately as Barker and Corbett do, but the humour of both duos is pretty much the same. So if you like one, you’re likely feel the same about the other.
The started as music hall artists in the 1940's and they stayed together until Eric Morecambe's death, they were good friends until the end.
They were also one of the most loved acts of the 20th century in the UK. When l heard that Eric had died l actually cried, it felt like l had lost a favourite uncle.
Thank you for playing that clip. Dear Eric and Ernie were and always will be, my absolute favourites. There was such warmth and love between them and with us, their audience. I still miss them.
Their best sketches are the one with André Previn, their breakfast sketch and Singing in the Rain.
When Eric Morecambe had his first heart attack and was in hospital, Des O’Connor (who was a good friend despite being the butt of their jokes) asked the audience at his next show to pray for him. Eric heard about this, and told him that those half-dozen prayers probably made all the difference! 😊
Eric and Ernie were perfectionists, and would start rehearsing their Christmas show in August. It’s thought the stress of this contributed to Eric’s heart problems. Try to find the full version of their Andre Previn / Grieg’s Piano Concerto sketch from the 1971 Christmas show (starting with Ernie and Andre Previn in front of the theatre curtains) - because of Previn working in the US they couldn’t rehearse this, and Eric was worried - you can see when Previn ad-libbed “I’ll go get my baton - it’s in Chicago!” was when he realised this was going to be a classic!
You have to check out Morecambe and Wise's collaboration with the renowned pianist and conductor Andre Previn and their sketch on Grieg's Piano Concerto. It's hilarious and you'll love it!
Morecambe & Wise were the biggest and most loved comedy tv act in the 70s . They started in the music hall and weren't that successful until fairly late when tv can along their BBC Christmas shows were among the most watched tv programmes ever . Celebrities flocked to be on the show and be made fun of . The two Ronnies , though different humour basically filled the void when Eric died .
Very few guns in the UK. Not so much armed robbery.
' Mr Preview ' sketch is fabulous. And Glenda Jackson.
You have to remember that these two were both considered very serious, respected and very high brow so Eric and Ern's treatment of them was so much funnier. You just didn't see famous people like this mocked back then. Andre always said it was the piece of work he was most remembered for despite his amazing career.
Didn't Glenda Jackson win two Oscars after appearing on their show?
@@deborahcox921 she'd already won one for Women in Love ( remember Eric rolls over onto the statuette during the skit ). She got the role in A Touch of Class after her performance with Eric and Ern and that gave her the second Oscar.
You would love all their stuff, they were so funny.
Definitely Andre Previn.
Love M&W ….they were national viewing on TV when I was young … I live where Eric came from … Morecambe !!! Can see his statue from the lounge window …
Pronounced more-come and wise. Legends!
Morecombe & Wise are British greats.. you need to watch more.. they had there own show with famous TV celebrities
Some of their sketches with guest stars were great Death on the Nile , Cleopatra and Frankenstein are just a few that come to mind .
Love M&W ….they were national viewing on TV … and also because I live where Eric came from … Morecambe !!! Can see his statue from the lounge window….these two were life long friends !!! They also rehearsed their sketches until there were perfect.. also try and watch the the skits when Des O’Conner joined in !!! You could always google them to get a bit more info !!!
They were best friends their whole lives.
1:24 Soda, lovely Jodi. Soda.
A good place to start would be a compilation of their Des O'Connor put down's which was a running gag for many years, M&W and Des were great friends, they show how Brit humour is great for mocking each other and self deprecation in a loving way.
Started watching your reviews to WILTY which I very much enjoy and delighted to see you've found Morecambe and Wise. It might interest you to know that Lee Mack is big Eric Morecambe fan and does a brilliant impression of him. As everyone else has recommended, the Andre Previn sketch would be a great choice for you.
Morecambe and Wise were the biggest comedy team in the UK for decades. No Christmas was complete without their TV special. Look for their sketch with orchestral conductor Andre Previn as a special guest. BTW, some comedy duos can work together for years, as did these two. Others cant do it because they get annoyed with each other (Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis couldn't stand each other by the end of their partnership, for instance). And - from personal experience - remembering song lyrics isn't automatic! It takes work!
Probably the funniest comedy duo that the uk has ever produced. The Beatles sketch is funny - it was on the Anthology 1 album and on the Anthology tv series. The Andre Previn sketch is an absolute classic
Where i live in Morley West Riding of Yorkshire there is a statue of Ernie Wise on Queen Street . He was born in Bramley Leeds , Yorkshire.🇬🇧🏴
Andre Previn and Singing in the Rain by M & W
I once heard a (supposedly) true story on the radio which happened in America, can't remember where exactly, but it was in 'small town USA' somewhere. A man walked into a bank and demanded the cashier fill his bag with money. Having done so, he left the bank, walked around the corner, took his mask off, and walked back in to the same bank and asked to pay off his overdraft, with the same cash he'd just robbed from them. Not surprisingly he was arrested.
Far and away the greatest comedy duo this country has ever produced.
Nick is a bit off the mark, they were great friends right up to Eric Morecambe's untimely death.
As others have said you must try and watch the Andre Previn sketch or the Breakfast sketch. Having watched them you will be hooked.
These guys were brilliant ❤❤❤❤❤❤
These two look so gorgeous together ❤🎉
Nick, pronounced "more-come". easy peasy :-) I grew up watching these guys (in re-runs lol). They were regulars on saturday early evening tv
Love some M&W, the breakfast sketch set to the stripper music is another great one 👍
Bands are supposed to break up to then get back together to make more money comedy acts are born to be together
Nick, you might enjoy seeing Morecambe & Wise with the Beatles on their show.
Great reaction! *Morcambe & Wise - Mastermind* is even better than *The Two Ronnies - Mastermind* OK, maybe not better, just very different and difficult to compare. Both sketches are exquisite! Of course, it would be helpful to be familiar with Mastermind, a knowledge-based show for intellectuals, i.e., masterminds. Enjoy! Thanks!
Sticking together just for the money whilst secretly hating each other? Are you guys trying to tell us something? I hope not as it 's always fun to watch you two
Additional to the Andrew preview sketch everyone else suggested, Singin' in the rain and There May be trouble ahead are musts...
You should watch their Andre Previn sketch, their sketches with Shirley Bassey, Tom Jones, Glenda Jackson etc. Also their 'Jungle Book' sketch and many more.
So so many times, when US reactors check out UK comics for the very first time, they find THE most obscure video to react to!!
I thought I'd seen everything they ever did on tv, but here we are!
I've never even heard of this sketch!! 😲
Try their 'singing in the rain' , now THAT'S a classic M&W sketch!! 🤣
You should look at the Morecambe & Wise breakfast scene
Another couple of Morecambe and Wise suggestions are Big Spender, Dame Shirley Bassey, The Banana Boat Song, Jungle Book and Side By Side with Dame Glenda Jackson who won 2 Oscars after appearing on their show ❤
Can I also suggest Tommy Cooper and Dick Emery.
Please try the ' singing in the rain sketch' it's iconic here!
Check out Morecambe and Wise The Stripper sketch. One of the most famous sketches they ever did
More come❤
Breakfast sketch , Andre Previn sketch and Singing In The Rain.
Technically speaking it could be easier to rob a bank than a post office here in the uk. Most post office workers are behind a wall of perspex, most bank workers are just sitting at a desk with literally nothing around them, also no security guards.
Boy have you got some good stuff in these comments!
Type in Morcambe and WIse Breakfast Sketch, it is sooooooooooo funny
THEY DID A SKIT ON SINGING IN THE RAIN WHICH GENE KELLY WATCHED AND HE ENJOYED IT VERY MUCH, VERY FUNNY 😊😊
The Morecambe and Wise show ran for almost 40 years and, as you can imagine, they had a few zingers in that time. Mostly by inviting famous guests and involving them in some ridiculous play, in a way you'd think, there's no way that celeb just did that.
Unlike most comedy teams Eric & Ernie never fell out. They grew up together and performed together from the age of 14. They worked together for 40 years until Eric’s sad passing.
Yay!!!! First comment. Literally just finished the problematic tattoo reaction
their sketch with andre previn is hilarious bear in mind he was a very famous conductor
There has been a number of comedy duos in Britain and elsewhere stretching of decades , you had some in the states like Abbot and Castello , in Britian its quite common , a number of them you havnt discovered yet. Morecambe and Wise probably have hundreds of hours of sketches and skitts
These were an old music hall act that transferred to a TV double act in their own show...
Try Cannon and Ball, Hale & Pace even Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, although they were better known for their part in "The Goons" and their show "The Goon Show"..
Just to correct you, Peter Cook and Dudley Moore were NOT in The Goon Shows - Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan and Harry Secombe were!
@@phillipridgway8317 You're right but you forgot Micheal Bentine...
I'm not sure why the Goons came to mind, I still think they were part of a crew/team.
Best comedy double acts Morecambe and Wise and the Two Ronnies and today ant and dec they are still together when it works it works.
They have even made a couple of movies, but if you want to react to another do the Andre previn one.
They are the old equivalent double comedy act to ant and dec of today
You need to react to the sitcom Bottom. I don't know if you'll get it but do give it a go
They were lifelong friends. Eric's death was devastating to Ernie. He had a lot of offers of solo work, but had no interest without his best friend.
He often showed up on things like What's My Line? and Through The Keyhole, but you are right, that was just as himself, not part of any act or comedy routine.
Guys, pronounciation of their name: 'Mocom and Wise', I think.
Not every comedy partnership is like Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis.
One of their classic routines was them making breakfast to the tune if the stripper. Bon UA-cam it is listed as Classic Morecambe and Wise and is 2 minutes 14 seconds long.
Andre Previn sketch Morecambe and Wise...
Have a look at 'I worked with Morcambe & Wise'.
Check out the sketch featuring the actress Glenda Jackson
They started as child performers in the 1930s both were child stage performers who met and clicked and had success Eric's mother he is the one with glasses was managing him and Ernie's mother was taking care of her husband so Eric's mum traveled and managed and cared for them both.. As adults they lived separate lives when not working Eric was all about the performing and being funny Ernie did a lot of the writing and management for the duo. They were noted for their insistence on rehearsing to get the performance spot on for timing and action.
