Mentioning the types of water from Ronnie B so quickly and with such accuracy. Very difficult to achieve but Ronnie B makes it look so easy. Brilliant.
2.25-2.33. Just look at what Ronnie C does with those 8 seconds. He knew there'd be a round of applause after RB's superb monologue and he was ready for it. Manages to fill it in a way that's funny without losing character. Real class these two were.
Funnily enough , when I was a student I had a Summer vac job for two years running in a water board lab. Never came on anyone as funny as the TWO RONNIES though ! Though if you live in Mancroft Gardens Tettenhall, be very worried as to what you’ll find coming out of your taps ! 🤷♀😡😂
should see the sketch where he played an ice cream parlour salesman - comes up with 2 different lists of flavours. Ronnie C is after crisp flavoured ice cream.
Corbett is correct; the future of commercial watering holes is decreasing. How many people can realistically afford a night out at the pub - the prices for which are criminal; thankfully, never been a pub person, but for those who enjoy a pint, it must be torturous. Barker delivers a seemingly never ending list of H2O - that's just pure genius, & for the set scene, remarkably prescient. Always a joy to watch two masters at work 😃
He’s reading from 2 autocues, one on his right and then one on his left and using his skilful ad libs where necessary.. No doubt he helped write the sketch too. A genius
This is another great classic sketch from The Two Ronnies involving a pub that sells water what genius. Doesn't Ronnie Barker look different at the start of the clip to how he looked in the sketch that was because this was taken from Two Ronnies Sketchbook where Barker appeared very frail and also ill with a heart conditon.
There used to be a supermarket near me (in the USA) selling Welsh water in blue glass bottles. I think they also sell Fiji water. So this sketch is not so far fetched.
Chortles! I was in North Carolina 2011. I tried a few American beers in a pub or few. They were all draught beers - no bottled beer, especially no bloody Budweiser! They were tasty. The best was Yuengling.
@@errolfellows409 Indeed, The Americans have finally recovered their sense of taste for proper beer....maybe they are finally over the hangover from Prohibition! I see they have finally acknowledged that watery lager is not beer.
@@patagualianmostly7437 Yuengling has been around for almost 200 years now. To understand the differences in beer quality you have to understand the differences in drinking cultures: beer often isn't really seen as something you hold up high and really admire the quality of, it's something you chug down on a hot day for refreshment or a "cheaper" way to drink. Something like an aged whiskey or fine wine is held in higher regard, but in the past decade or so good beers have come more into fashion (ironically it's actually the hipsters that are helping drive that) and so you're seeing more good breweries come up and the explosion of IPAs on the market.
@@ae4164 Yes indeed.... The national brewer here has finally acknowledged that beer drinkers deserve better than just "another variation on the lager theme" ... They now make a very decent IPA: Dry and very refreshing. I guess they are having to deal with the threat from all the new microbreweries that are springing up the length of the country. I'll drink to that! Cheers!
classic bar sketch from the 2 ronnies can any fans tell me which sketch has the mexican bar on in 1970 world cup sketch ha see gordon ha see gordon banks charlton ha see bobby charlton etc cant find it please help thanks leave sketch title on hear thanks so much dave classic comedy fan
I grew up listening to tobacco auctioneers - the fastest speakers in the world - close seconded by horse racing commentators. Big Ronnie could well have turned his hand/voice to either of these.
@TheYairisan "barely fluffed a line" ie they fluffed one or two. You know what helps with that? Doing it in a studio with cue cards and multiple takes.
Been some great comedy partnerships over the years but these two were the best. On behalf of millions of us..a million thanks.
Comedians today and no doubt tomorrow have a long way to go to be as brilliant as these.
Agree.
Mentioning the types of water from Ronnie B so quickly and with such accuracy. Very difficult to achieve but Ronnie B makes it look so easy. Brilliant.
The sketches of these two geniuses deserve respect... they manage to make us smile in the time of the corona....
Always with the coronavirus mention. The two Ronnies would be tired of that and take the piss.
Ah, we don't sell Corona.
Absolutely BRILLIANT 👏
Omg! Nearly fell out of the bed laughing at “evaporated water.” What genius! Thanks for this
And toilet water 🤣🤣🤣
@@TheTruthKiwi 😂 🤮
Ronnie Barker was one of my favourite comedians - RIP
Not seen this one before , hilarious 😂 They were truly amazing.
Yorkshire terrier water. Good God, they were amazing.
his memory is amazing
And you don’t think he was reading the lines….😂😂😂
Ronnie Barker could spit better than most rappers, R.I.P.
that's actually so true.
I bet it took a lot of practice though
mister kickasso I really want a remix of this now
Moon man?
Ha ha you r totally right there
True definition of British Comedy
They are so funny! I loved all their sketches!❤❤❤❤😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣👍🤗👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💯
I think you’ll be amused by it’s impertinence 😂
Just like a Modern Hipster place in Shoreditch. Sketch ahead of its time.
I loved it when Ronnie Barker used to reel off lists of things - there’s also the ice cream parlour sketch
Both of u r absolutely
Fantastic R I P 2 both of ù
I wish u could bring back
Both of u tanks 4 the best
Comedians in the world
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
BLOODY FANTASTIC RIP 2 BOTH OF U TANKS FOR THE COMEDY I LIKE both of u comedy shows
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I died at toilet water..😂😂😂
Brilliant , eye watering comedy at its finest ! Ronnie Barker at his best ! Great sketch !
Eye water 🤔
AWESOME... Funny characters... never forgotten 😎
He was a genius
A true comedy hero RIP ronnie
This is my favourite of all sketches. I hate the water snobbery of today plus it costs almost the same as a beer
the cost is simply capitalist greed- forever getting people to buy things which they don't need or should be free
Tap water in any establishment has to be free
God bless them. Simply the best of British.
Funnily enough , when I was a student I had a Summer vac job for two years running in a water board lab.
Never came on anyone as funny as the TWO RONNIES though ! Though if you live in Mancroft Gardens Tettenhall, be very worried as to what you’ll find coming out of your taps ! 🤷♀😡😂
R.I.P Ronnie Corbett 😢
Classic! I remember watching them in my teens.
Ronnie barker was just on another planet to everyone else
Genius! Pure Genius! So, so funny! Timeless.
Absolutely fantastic!
Hearing barker list the water names, it reminds me of the song called I've Been Everywhere, Man.
What a phenomenal memory Ronnie Barker had!
should see the sketch where he played an ice cream parlour salesman - comes up with 2 different lists of flavours. Ronnie C is after crisp flavoured ice cream.
Theres 7yr olds who have memorized the entire Qur'an!
@MusicMadMaurice Whateve you say, idiot.
I'd go to a water pub any day! 😂
"We got evaporated water" lol, I bet a few missed that easter egg ....!
@MusicMadMaurice Instant water - just add water
@MusicMadMaurice 😄😄😄😉

A pub with no beer, Slim Dusty would be amused.
Ronnie Barker . Artiste .
Vocal Artiste .
Lol I did not expect at that ending 😆😆
Hey Dear.
How are you doing today?
Hey Dear.

Hey Dear.
How are you doing today?
I loved Ronnie Barker. Brilliant.
Genius. He must have had a photographic memory. No one could normally memorize like that
*must have
@@albond yeeees but it sounds right if you say it quickly!
He’s reading from 2 autocues, one on his right and then one on his left and using his skilful ad libs where necessary..
No doubt he helped write the sketch too. A genius
Absolute genius material
Even recorded, it necessitates a round of applause, every time.
if one of these pubs happened in 2016 it would actually work
Selfridges are doing it. May 2016.
There is one opening at Selfridges
Gaby Hill
You could sell weasel piss to the trendies if you said it was organic.
I wouldn't be surprised if there was one today in the world. Welcome to Liberalism. lol
A lot their material is today becoming a reality.. it's scary.
So bloody clever!
No Peckham spring water ?
2:04 just brilliant😂😂
Quite a selection
Pure class❤ and very clever
Earth Soul The Two Ronnies Blues RocknRoll...
This is another great classic sketch from The Two Ronnies involving a pub that sells water what genius.
Doesn't Ronnie Barker look different at the start of the clip to how he looked in the sketch that was because this was taken from Two Ronnies Sketchbook where Barker appeared very frail and also ill with a heart conditon.
This is similar to the Monty Python Cheese Shop sketch that didn’t sell cheese.
That was my first thought...
@@mcdivittdocs922 sorry just put comment on that before reading yours
Think they stole loads from pythons but not surprised Ronnie Barker worked with the python team before they got famous
@@david-pb4bi They didn't "steal" anything!
@@martinputt6421 Yes they did, not unsurprising you can’t keep doing middle of the road stuff for ever, need to be creative to do that.
Pure genius
I'm binge watching 2Ronnies for my next business idea *takes out pen and paper*
The punchline is priceless 😅
wow absolutely amazing. How does he remember all that?
Um, he's reading it.
Reading it very well, but reading it nonetheless.
Crushed ice, black ice, choc ice 😂
I would have loved 'dry ice' too!
If I ever come across a pub like this, I’m gonna burn it down
It would put itself out 🤔😃
This. This is comedy.
Comedy without relying on crudity or swearing to try and be funny
Brilliant twist ending.
There used to be a supermarket near me (in the USA) selling Welsh water in blue glass bottles. I think they also sell Fiji water. So this sketch is not so far fetched.
But it's not pub that just sells water? lol
I live in Wales, I get Welsh water coming out of my kitchen tap. I can sell you some if you want!
If that happened in America, nobody would notice the difference...
Chortles! I was in North Carolina 2011. I tried a few American beers in a pub or few. They were all draught beers - no bottled beer, especially no bloody Budweiser! They were tasty. The best was Yuengling.
@@errolfellows409 Indeed, The Americans have finally recovered their sense of taste for proper beer....maybe they are finally over the hangover from Prohibition!

Come to Canada if you want a great selection of beer. The beer in the States is not very good imo.

A master of words
Ronnie C
A master of class comedy
What a pair
2 candles
Or is that 4
Sir
Well deserved applause.
Toffs place that is. No mention of Peckham water.
Yes, I could imagine this existing now. I actually would like the idea.
Ronnie is so funny, and I don't know how Ronnie can remember all that detail.
there were two
@@Regi869 : Yes, I mentioned them both.
He used to read off a card you can tell he was doing it
Water on the knee... Whooooha...Sooo funni indeed... Hehehe.... Hahaa
This is great
3:27 .... do you make your own water? LOL haha
classic bar sketch from the 2 ronnies can any fans tell me which sketch has the mexican bar on in 1970 world cup sketch ha see gordon ha see gordon banks charlton ha see bobby charlton etc cant find it please help thanks leave sketch title on hear thanks so much dave classic comedy fan
Legend 👏🤦♂️
Genius!
Dirty water, squirty water! 😂
I can hear fiji water in there ❤👍👍🇫🇯🇫🇯
2:26 ... deserves an applause after getting all that list out!
Yes...did you not hear the applause?
Omfg how many types of real water 😂😂😂😂
They also sell underbridge water😂😂😂😂
On of the best
Some talented DJ should put Barker’s water list to a phat beat!
spot the oxymoron there.....
I would SO go to a pub that sells "murky water".
What about squirty water? 😁😁
God bless them both, they always made us laugh. It's so sad they they descended but their comedy will last for a trillion years
Had a chat with a brewery salesman once, and he said there’s a saying in the brewing industry, “It’s the most profitable way of selling water.”
I was a brewer. 5% proof is 95% water.
Yes indeed👍...Best wishes from India
Rip love them
2:09 Thames Water, I know that one.
Without vulgar and foul language, comedians today will be very poor and unpopular. I still enjoy the two Ronnies. Jgd the yogi Raj
Tour de force!
Funny how people are actually Snobish about bottled water nowadays! That place could actually exist. 😂😂😂
I could literally see a place like this opening up in a Hipster shop in Shoreditch London. This was ahead of its time.
@@AlexOjideagu2 Which shop did you see it in?
@@Inkyminkyzizwoz I mean hypothetically I can imagine one opening in Shoreditch lol
@@AlexOjideagu2 Better
Can you please tell me what series and episode this sketch is from? I'm desperate to get it on DVD!
This series called
Two ronnie's
@@mamunchawdhray1074 by series he meant which season.
superb
Most underrated line: "I think you'll be amused by its impertinence" - imitating pretentious wine reviewers!
I grew up listening to tobacco auctioneers - the fastest speakers in the world - close seconded by horse racing commentators.
Big Ronnie could well have turned his hand/voice to either of these.
bloody epic...
How did he remember all that!? xD
Cue cards and multiple takes.
@TheYairisan "barely fluffed a line" ie they fluffed one or two. You know what helps with that? Doing it in a studio with cue cards and multiple takes.
@TheYairisan Yeah, clearly you care. Just enjoy the show, you fucking wally.
@TheYairisan Four replies and you deleted three of them? Maybe cue cards would help reduce your multiple takes.
Practice
Catford tap water, quite close to reality.
Who'd have thought it? They sell toilet water
And water from dog bowls and baby potties!
DavoFivo9292 eau de toilette is surely something one can find in the shops, although not in a pub.
+Zunjuu Except that it's not eau de toilette that they're talking about, it's actual water taken from a toilet.
How the heck did he memorize that🙉
He was good at that. Mind you, he probably write it.
White people are smart
Well it's not rocket science but all the same very impressive, he had gift of the gab.
@@colinmoore7460 wrote! that was written?
Haven’t I seen the same sketch before - only with cheese? Monty Python, perhaps?
