I saw the perfect comeback to somebody on a train having a very loud conversation on their phone. When they say "I am on a train, you shout over "No he's not, he's in a brothel".
Love the Two Ronnies. They were a staple in my younger years & everyone I know considers their comedy routines some of the best in British history. Very clever wordplay & so well executed. The ‘Boring Accountant’ sketch is another great one to view.
The New Zealand Govt has just banned phones in schools now. They must be handed in before school and can be picked up during breaks only. Best decision ever!
i'm not sure why people always suggest the 4 Candles sketch as a starting point for The Two Ronnies. i think this is one of their best along with the Crossword sketch, the Mastermind sketch and the Round Of Drinks sketch - not only are they all very clever and well written but you can tell they're having fun with them. 4 Candles has a different feel which works for the context of the sketch but does little favour for those watching them for the first time. i'm glad you've persisted, there are some real comedy gems to come.
I only watched 2 of your Videos so far (both about "The Two Ronnies"), but these were absolutely splendid (as they would probably say in England). Also i think you two have a very good chemistry between you, which is always good for reaction videos. Kepp the great content up! 🙂
i have to agree with Nick on the number of people who discuss private things on the phone in public, its crazy the things i have heard people talk about especially when bluetooth/handsfree headsets first came out and people had long hair so you didn't know if they were on the phone or just hearing the "voices". i can kind of see why you might play music or watch a video with the sound on while in a public bathroom as some people are shy about being overheard using the toilet and use it to drown out any bodily sounds they might be making i wouldn't do it as i feel it would attract more attention but i can see the line of thinking.
How would you feel if you walked into a bathroom, and from one of the stalls you hear 'Welcome to Boring Reviews, Nick here, Jodi there...' someone watching your videos while doing their business 😄
A few short years before this sketch I was in the cub scouts and I was given a two pence piece to call my akela to demonstrate that I could use a public phone in an emergency. The nearest payphone was a twenty minute walk away from our house😂 We did have a phone in the house, in the 1970s there was a three month wait to get one, and even then it was what was called a party line in that the circuit was shared with a neighbour ..... we had a party line with Kenny Baker, R2D2, and his wife was always listening in to our calls🤣
Ronnie Barker suddenly exited show business in 1988 at the age of 59. He had an antique shop in The Cotswolds and he suffered heart problems for quite a while before his death in 2005 aged 76. Ronnie Corbett was a showman until the end. He played golf with Rob Brydon, of WILTY fame, who tells a very funny story about when his wife was in labour and he had to decide whether to play golf with Ronnie or support his wife! Ronnie C died aged 86 in 2016.
Clever wordplay features a lot in Two Ronnies skits. The larger one was Ronnie Barker, the smaller one was Ronnie Corbett, both are sadly no longer with us. An impressive example of their memory of script and verbal dexterity can be found in: ‘Ponting Punting’. They also did humorous musical number in their show, if you like American Country Music, you may appreciate their performance as: ‘Slim Pickman and Polly Parton’
The two Ronnies did a musical sketch as the climax to their show which was always eagerly anticipated. I would like to see your reaction to any of those please. Easily found on youtube as the Two Ronnies musical sketches.
I'm the same, so annoying people watching things with their volume loud. It's even more annoying when they have a conversation on loud speaker! Why?!!! Just hold it to your ear, people dont want to listen to your conversation?! 😂 I lives the two Ronnie's. Very cleverly written.
If you like clever wordplay then the two Ronnies are for you . Ronnie Barker in particular for some incredible monologues and they made a great pairing . Try Mastermind - amazing teamwork .
Even though i tend to prefer our British stand ups (like Ricky Gervais, Jimmy Carr, Peter Kay, Sarah Millican, Michael McIntyre etc), and our sitcoms (like Coupling, Friday Night Dinner, The Inbetweeners, Fawlty Towers, Two Doors Down etc) this is my favourite Two Ronnies sketch.
Random one for you... Peter Boghossian 'An Inside Look At The UK's Strictest School w/Katharine Birbalsingh'. Not your usual reaction fodder as it's serious, but with being teachers you might find it interesting. Katharine's schools gets outstanding results from a, non-selected, mixed intake... yet is ignored and shunned by the rest of UK education.
I was on a bus once when two girls behind me were loudly discussing the previous night one had spent with her boyfriend. I had no wish to hear the details.
What Nick said about the chap listening to music on his Mob. It's the way of the world. The kids today are told that as an individual they are the most important thing on the planet. This is why most marriages these days don't last long. They have absolutely no idea about taking into account anyone else's wants and feelings other than thier own.
A village in Ireland have now got a rule for youngsters to not have phones so they have to interact with each other and have a childhood they are now discussing it here in the UK to get basic level phones for under sixteens
In the UK there is a discussion with parents & Teachers about children on having smart phones from the age of 14 , Schools rules should be what's best for the children education Hopeful the right decision Will come about
One of my favorite 2+ minute clip on QI. On what did Dr Watson do twice as often as Sherlock Holmes. ua-cam.com/video/xst0a-_v9Dg/v-deo.htmlsi=rtGYw9tZYcV5bJE_
The OXO gag often gets missed but is genius.
So right - But it's an age thing too... You have to know what a 'Cross Your Heart Bra' even is. 😂😂😂 And two circles with an X between spells...!? 😊
@@stewedfishproductions9554you also have to know what an oxo cube is if in America, it's a stock cube
Still remember the adverts!

Yep! That's true too... 😋

The Two Ronnies were rare geniuses with brilliant writers beside them and we will never see such comedy like this again.
“I’ve a fair bit to see to” - made me giggle.
Love the Two Ronnies. They were a staple in my younger years & everyone I know considers their comedy routines some of the best in British history. Very clever wordplay & so well executed. The ‘Boring Accountant’ sketch is another great one to view.
Try mastermind sketch from them. Another clever sketch..
I think there are too many British references in that one, would get lost in translation….despite it possibly being their best sketch

Yes i agree it is annoying when there is an "officially best" example of an artists work like the 4 candles sketch in this case
Blurred lines is what you were thinking of Nick😮

Also i think you two have a very good chemistry between you, which is always good for reaction videos.

Great reaction, good to see you giving the Two Ronnie's another go, try the Round of Drinks sketch it's very clever.
More Two Ronnies, some Morecambe & Wise, Dick Emery, Les Dawson; oh and Blackadder please! 😎✌️🏴🇬🇧
Crossword two Ronnies
I love the 2 ronnies, I grew up watching this stuff

So many clever funny sketches to watch 🤣

There is so much in here that's British, im surprised you got any of it. 😊
Always brilliant these two, cheers guys!
And 40 kids each class, all at once, oh heck no, that's called An Uprising! Yikes! lol

They also did humorous musical number in their show, if you like American Country Music, you may appreciate their performance as:
‘Slim Pickman and Polly Parton’
& of course Ronnie B as Lightweight Louis Danvers. 🥰
'Mispronunciation' is the other gold standard regarding verbal dexterity.

The 2 Ronnie's Jewish insurance policy sketch is hilarious
"Cookiebear" Oh my🤣🤣🤣
The sketch is over 40 years old.

Best intro ever
Check out The Two Ronnies Slim Pickman and Polly Parton also Morecambe and Wise another British comedy duo
Yes there music melodies a real treat
Check out their Mastermind sketch, absolute genius, plus cross dresser and mispronouncing sketch
I wonder how many people watch Nick and Jodi from a public restroom 😂
He had a fair bit to see to.
What Nick said about the chap listening to music on his Mob. It's the way of the world. The kids today are told that as an individual they are the most important thing on the planet.

Excellent comedy
A village in Ireland have now got a rule for youngsters to not have phones so they have to interact with each other and have a childhood they are now discussing it here in the UK to get basic level phones for under sixteens
Our entire country doesn't allow them to be used in classrooms. Great decision! Go NZ!
Ronnie Barker is the big one, Ronnie Corbett is the small one
In the UK there is a discussion with parents & Teachers about children
on having smart phones from the age of 14 , Schools rules should be what's best for the children education
Hopeful the right decision Will come about
I love how they say smart phones but you can still get phones that are not counted as smart phones and access internet on them
There were many British references you may not have understood in this i assume ?

Don’t think this works too well across the pond.
Why, it's wordplay they speak English.
