Never ever again will we see comic genius quite as amazing as the 2 Ronnie's.. Watching them work on a sketch is art.. It truly is. How well their chemistry is displayed is beautiful, everything in this sketch is absolutely flawless, the lines are delivered and flow through with pin point timing and accuracy. An absolute joy to watch the 2 greatest comedy icons in history ❤️👌
Comedy genius unsurpassed. They played and bounced off each other so effortlessly and brilliantly, with impeccable timing. The writing is just so tight too. Such fond memories and nostalgia of growing up with British talent and shows like this, throughout the 70s and 80s.
I'm Portuguese but I lived in London from 1969-1990, I watched great British Comedy all this time, to this day as a 63 year old there is nothing as good or ever will be as this, even in my own country comedy is of very low standard compared to British comedy.
@@maree-mareesongwriter6226 all RONNIE BARKERS double talking was incredible so many different talents he was unbelievably fantastic I often had tears of happiness running down my face watching him he could get me in stitches easily the only other comedian that could get close to him was the almost equally brilliant DAVE ALLEN
@@BarryArcher-i1r My dad was a big Ronnie Barker fan, one of his favourite shows was Open All Hours. Oh, I love Dave Allen! Especially the way he pokes fun at religion and Catholicism (as a recovering Catholic myself lol). I was only watching him here the other day; had me in stitches too.
An Irish pub sketch by 2 British comedy legends. I'm Irish and i LOVE this. I got to see Ronnie Corbett perform in Dublin in 2005 not long before Ronnie Barker passed away.
This is the 1st sketch I've ever seen from them and am crying from laughter. Being a Scot with Irish friends & neighbors I've got to say these guys nailed it! Can't stop watching these two now.
I was stranded in Ireland for a weekend Vintage car rally the Irish contingent looked after me ,I thought I was going to die from lack of oxygen I laughed so much I couldn't breathe for the whole weekend, the jokes were all about the Irish ,non of it politically correct it was wonderful they were wonderful
I just have to add my admiration and appreciation for those two men. Im Irish also and lived in London through the 70's into the 80's. I always loved their shows and presentations. Comic geniuses is how I would describe them.
I grew up watching the Two Ronnies..Absolute geniuses..Watching them again after such a long time shows how talented and far ahead of other comedians they were. So many little puns and jokes its hard to keep track and have a breather from the laughter!
I agree I’m only 12 but nothing nowadays will ever be able to compare to these 2. They weren’t just funny but they were damn right clever to be able to come up with this stuff
I'm glad i lived in that era as we were blessed with two great "comedian actors" the two Ronnies, how entertaining they were and make everybody laugh you are both the best!
There is one thing for sure and thats the Irish love a good laugh. Being Irish, self ridicule is one of the things we are good at, and the two bhoys do a great job of it. When humour was fun and not muddied by miserly complainers who get offended at the sound of laughter.
The wallpaper sketch gets me every time. You can see the punchline coming from a mile off but RCs delivery is so sublime that it always sounds brand new! Two of the funniest men ever. I loved Morcambe and Wise but the Two Ronnies were leaps and bounds ahead!
I really miss this humour. Loved these guys, and as a kid learned how to laugh at myself through humour like theirs, which was shared at home with my mum and dad who had grown up with humour like this that got them through a world war. Thank you You Tube. I'm going in search of the Phantom Raspberry Blower of Old London Town now...
According to a documentary about Ronnie Corbet the other night. That sketch was written by Spike Milligan, who insisted on providing the ''RASBERRY '' noises. Well, he would wouldn't he? Another great OIRISH_BORN GENIUS.
This has to be the best comedy duo that I have ever seen. It takes me back to my childhood Christmas TV and they still make me laugh the sad thing is they are no longer with us . God Bless Gentlemen.
If you find this "genius", where does that put *_you_* in the scale of things? I for example find their humour clever, (or should I say Ronnie Barker's humour here since he was the one that writes, you know). Now, where does that put you in the food chain? Above protazoa. Well, that's something, I suppose. .
adarsh kumar At least he can spell. And what's with the three full points at the end of your badly put together sentence? I won't call you an imbecile, it's rude. Though I'm sure it's more fitting in relation to the spelling of two and three letter words, than it is the understanding of spacetime.
Omg 😂😂🤣🤣 in that scene at 5:02 Ronnie Barker sounded JUST like Trevor Peacock (he played Jim in Vicar of Dibley). It'd kill me with laughter if he did an impression of Jim doing his "No no no no no no no no yes" catchphrase 😂😂
Glad this popped up in my youtube feed. Being American and not very familiar with shows across the pond, I always wondered why Bobby was calling Jack and Victor "The Two Ronnies." Hilarious!
If this isn't surrealism at work, I'll eat my hat. Bloody marvellous these two (not the clocks), but my soft spot always went to Barker. Corbett was very touching though, and he did recognise Barkers IMMENSE talent- he was unique. Comedy will never be the same without them. They made millions laugh, may they rest in peace and have pity for us being deprived. Comedy's dead.
I grew up watching this programme with my parents this but was too young to appreciate the clever wordplay at the time. I’m glad they did this set in an Irish pub (they could easily have done it in any other UK country) as it pays homage to great Irish writers
I am so glad I grew up in an era of comedy where offending people was laughed at rather than banned and banter was allowed , and what an era it was. The two Ronnies were simply irreplaceable
I'm Irish and I'll take bets on how long it's take utube to delete it incase it offends the woke brigade and I'm not even talking about my own woke country men and women.
Absolutely brilliant! Now come on all you folk who thinks this sketch is racist because it's picking on the Irish, nothing could be further from the truth. It's a very clever sketch twisting the English language and most of the humour comes from the fact that these two guys seem to understand each other...whatever their race may be. Ronnie Barker in particular was a master of the spoonerism 😂😂
Christ, if you think this is racist you’re mental! I’m from the north east and I love it when comedians mimic the Geordie accent! It’s quite flattering really 😂😂😂
my Irish husband simply ADORES this sketch. he says it has more than a touch of Flann O'Brien about it...though it's sad, to say the least, that British tv would refuse to transmit such a skit today. "It's offensive to the Irish", they'd say - having not taken the trouble to ask a single Irish man/woman if they actually find it offensive
Ronnie Barker, who wrote most of the scripts I believe, is IMO the greatest comedian of all time - pure genius! No so called comedian of today can even begin to compare they are so obvious and banal.
i remember this sketch as a kid , but the accents changes so much between them , from south to a broad derry accent , very funny . Its comedy Gold ish still ;)
I have watched this episode many times many times. Have you noticed that even after all that mention of drinks only Ronnie Corbett keeps sipping his but Ronnie Baker never got served!!! Loll
There is no such thing as a "typical" Irish accent anywhere in Ireland and by "Southern Irish" you must mean Cork, Kerry or Waterford and he doesn't sound anything like anyone I've ever met from any of those counties and I'm from one of them.
I'm Irish but find this sketch funny. The accents are shite though. The two Ronnies were brilliant. They wouldn't be allowed to do this sketch today because BBC would be scared of the easily triggered brigade. Rip Two Ronnie's.
easily triggered by doing fake Irish accents? Gimme a break man, cancel culture sucks but it definitely doesn't cancel people because they put on an Irish accent badly.
Brilliant comedy, I love this, you can't slag off certain people or Counties these days or they call you racist and get hot and bothered , no sence of humour like Irish and English people anywhere else. 🇮🇪 🇬🇧
Good to see old 'Lord Knows' finally appear to pick up his forgotten parrot [that wasn't stuffed only in the first place!] . . . As a Norwegian, I'd say that the Two Ronnies has _no_ equals! . . . 🤣

Best comedy double act of all time,I for one miss them so much.Hope there making each other laugh upstairs..
They're*
*They’re
Where?
Over they're'.
There will never be another Ronnie Barker. What a brilliant script writer. Ronnie Corbett what an actor. Both in our hearts forever.
This is the 1st sketch I've ever seen from them and am crying from laughter.
Being a Scot with Irish friends & neighbors I've got to say these guys nailed it!
Can't stop watching these two now.
Just bloody brilliant. Nobody even gets remotely close the the brilliance of the two Ronnies.
I kind of agree with you, but don't forget about Morcombe and Wise.
@@Matty3H.I They were good, but not 'this' good 😊
This is just bloody brilliant! I'm Irish and lived in London 12yrs. Love British humour. This is spot on, from the older Irish generation
CORRECT.
Did they copy Monte python or visa versa, same but different!😅
Absolutely brilliant 😂😂😂
I love it! 😂
It's actually rubbish, not up to their usual standards
It's not just the brilliance of the scripts, they get all the physical details spot on, too. Ronnie C's wig in the Irish pub sketch is perfection.
As an Irish person I am upset that comedy will never be as good as this again.
True.
Thank God for that. It's rubbish
TV at its best , long lost now .
These sketches are hilarious 😂😂
The English taught the Irish to hate themselves. From your reply, I can see that some of us haven't learned to love themselves yet.

These guys were great. We’ve not produced anything near them since. Still makes me crack up every time I see their sketches
And the reason is---todays ''performer's'' didn't live in their world, when life gave them different experiences, and their audiences ditto.
As an Irish man from Dublin . I love this classic ☘☘☘☘
Nothing great in comedy like these today. It’s all PC so stifling laughter!
Why has it taken me this long to start watching these two. Absolutely genius.
In loving remembrance of the legendary two Ronnies, light four candles.
very clever....There you are four candles....No , handles for forks

I am from Malaysia.... and I found this absolutely hilarious LOL!!
I’ve watched this sketch so many times. Each time I marvel at the comic skills of both men.
I used to watch the 2 ronnies every week they were the best
Very underrated sketch that has been forgotten.

Very funny Two Ronnies sketch-Lord Knows!
Truly will never bd bettered. True comedy. Makes you live longer...
Classic British humour at its best... only true Brits and the Irish will appreciate how clever this is... 🤔😂😂😂
apparently not true, considering the above comments. Genius, rises above all cultures
No Aussies get it too
And so do Kiwis 😁
Bread and butter British humour for us older Aussies growing up - absolute classics😊
The writing is beyond genius, just an absolute pure joy to watch.
This kind of comedy now days is frowned upon . Regarded as racist....To me being from Ireland it is pure genius.
👍🇮🇪
👍👍
👍🏻
Me too. I love them
Didn't know Irish was a race.
I've been looking for this sketch for years ! Thanks.
I 've just found it ,again. when it came to, what Title it had, ? I just wrote,'' Two Ronnies, Two oirish men in a bar.''.
Great sketch! Love the paradoxical silliness of it!
Para do---? Don't use that language 'ere.
Still brilliant! The two Ronnies with one of the best!
The Two Rons at their very best.
Brilliantly written and acted, though the
shopping list one is the best ever!
I miss my older uncle so much when I watch these sketches. I'm from India but I bet so many others do too
Classic and timeless, genius the 2 Ronnies, they r-Lord knows
The 2 best comedians of all time
Along with Tommy Cooper
These were three of the best two comedians of all time. x
with 2 of the best clocks of all time
COMEDY ACTORS, I'D CALL THEM. THERE ARE SO MANY FACET'S OF COMEDY

Glad this popped up in my youtube feed. Being American and not very familiar with shows across the pond, I always wondered why Bobby was calling Jack and Victor "The Two Ronnies." Hilarious!
Never see their likes again ,and as an irishman this is brilliant
How did hey not burst into laughter.... Love it
Many a comedy group have completely' lost it ', during first readings, ' of the script, and more. Black Adder was one.
Fabulous comedy ,never seen the likes of these two great comedians again 😢RIP❤

Brilliant! How I love the Irish! The Irish what? Irish I knew!
Hilarious the way the accents swing in and out!
Am irish and this is just brilliant 😂😂😂
Ronnie Corbett playing the barman is trying a Northern Irish accent, with Ronnie Barker trying a bland typical Southern Irish accent.
There is no such thing as a "typical" Irish accent anywhere in Ireland and by "Southern Irish" you must mean Cork, Kerry or Waterford and he doesn't sound anything like anyone I've ever met from any of those counties and I'm from one of them.
