  • The Two Ronnies
    Series Five (1976)
    My favourite Two Ronnies musical number.
    Trivia: A promotional picture of the Ronnies from this sketch appears on the back of the Series Six DVD case, even though this is part of Series Five.

    Always loved how Ronnie C kicked the stick off stage.
    Professional stage acting at its best... keep everyone safe.

    So hilarious. You only need look at the two of them to start laughing, but then when they start prancing around...and the leapfrog bit...I died😂😂😂. Their talent, timing and energy was amazing. Best comedy duo ever!

      Me too. And in my opinion it was unexpected because the other words said were realistically part of the sentence. Hope I make sense.
      The twit, the twit... the twittering.
      The bum, the bum... the bumble.
      Get lost, get lost... get lost among...
      Whereas the sentence didn't have sodoff... it had so doff.

    The first three minutes. Physical comedy/slapstick, in real time, in a multi-camera set-up - with no dialogue - is incredibly difficult. These two make it look effortlessly easy.

    • @Fcutdlady
      @Fcutdlady 3 роки тому +2

      You ever heard of an irish comedian called Dave Allen . He was an alternative comedian before alternative comedy was invented . Talked about all the things you described as being unfunny but with one difference . He was hilarious. he was an influence for many alternative comedy performers . His sketched can be a little samey but his monologues are brilliant .

    • @ladywalker8200
      @ladywalker8200 2 роки тому +1

      I agree wholeheartedly. Todays comedians seem to rely on filth and swearing as they don't have the capacity to be funny. I am certainly not a prude or holier than thou and I can swear like a Swansea docker if I get mad enough! But there is a time and a place. I cannot help thinking that these modern comedians think they are amusing us by shock tactics. Nobody is shocked by swear words today and they are therefore unfunny and a little pathetic.
      Bring back more old shows like the 2 Ronnies and their contemporaries and let's have a good, clean belly laugh!!!!!!

      M&W lost their mojo when they got greedy and initially lost their champion writer (although he did come back) but by then the audience had past them by and much became repetitive AND Eric was also getting sicker and couldn’t work as hard. TTR seemed to stay on top longer? Maybe because RB wrote a bit of his own stuff as well as using outside writers? And he knew when to retire on top.

    Strange how there are no comments complaining about how racist this is as there are on the Short and Fat Minstrel Show sketch. There should at least be an avalanche of complaints from Morris dancers about how their culture is being demeaned. I suppose the professional complainers only have one topic to moan about.
