So glad you like our humour, Megan. Try watching the "Sports Commentary" sketch where Ronnie C (unseen) plays a videotape editor who gets his tapes mixed up and poor old Ronnie B has to do the live commentary !
As a little boy I always liked eating fish and chips because our shop would use the sun news paper to wrap it in. Eg sometimes they would have the page 3 picture.
Hi Megan only just caught your show the Two Ronnie's are like a national treasure here. I appreciate some lines are difficult for someone who hasn't grown up here in Britain, but their humour travels well. Thanks for your reactions👍💓🇬🇧
Really liked your reaction . A significant element in Ronnie B's responses to the more dimwitted Ronnie B in this clever clip was his references to the Sun, the daily newspaper, which I think you may not have quite understood. The joke here was centred of the fact that in those days The Sun featured on page 3 every day large photos of beautiful topless ladies. I think that tradition no longer survives as modern tastes have perhaps moved on from that, but an awareness of that would help you more fully understand Ronnie B's jokes.
Excellent sketch, excellent reaction, my late father loved crosswords and the two Ronnies. My favourite of theirs is The Worm That Turned, very pantomime esque…kind regards to you
We still have our milk delivered to the door - lots of people do - always tastes better than in plastic bottles. When Ronnie B says 'that's a typical Sun Clue' - he's referring to Blue Tits pecking the milk bottle tops for the cream.'
Yes and the birds were usually tits, Ronnie B suggests he look at page 3 of the Sun for the answer, page 3 was where the Sun always published a topless girl, if you can imagine that in 2024.
@@MeganRuth The whole part was about the slang words for breasts, The birds that were most likely to puncture our old milk bottle tops were from the "Tit" family....mostly Blue tits. 70s humour was full of double entendres but PC has put a stop to most of it. Some of the Carry On humour is very funny but some is also very puerile. Love your vids of our old time comedy stars.
@@kickthunt4239 ahh yes I know about Tits! (as in birds aha) to be honest I did have quite a laugh when I first heard about them! (we don't have them in Canada) Thank you! I'm glad you like my videos :)
@@MeganRuth You do have them in Canada. There is the tuffted titmouse that is endemic to North America and others are called chickadees rather than tits.
Thank you for saying, London England...and not United Kingdom. My friends from Wales and Scotland proudly say Wales or Ireland or Scotland.....never United KINGDOM.
There's a few countries that sell milk in bags. It's much better for the environment the bags can be recycled easily or reused if thoroughly sterilised & this makes buying milk cheaper too.
No doubt many of the laughs are due to that double entendre, but I think the point of the joke is that by asking for an eraser the nun reveals that she was doing the same crossword and the answer she had filled in for that particular clue started with "sh", not "gr".
The SUN newspaper was know for it's page 3 girl who would pose topless - hence his remark about check page 3.
The two Ronnies were absolutely hilarious who gave us all so much enjoyment and laughter over all these years
Have always Loved the Two Ronnies. Little Ronnie's Monologs are good too 😅👏👏😄

A brilliant comedy duo.
They were!

Hi Simon! Thank you for your comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the reaction :)
I loved how you thought Sh*t for the last crossword clues answer! However, you and the nun both! Lol 😘❤️🔥❤️😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Yeah I thought it was going to be that word too.

what i love about the two ronnies, they were never crude, they were slightly rude innuendos, but not crude unlike many comedians today
very true!!

thanks Mark! I'm glad you enjoyed the video :) And thanks for the suggestion!!
@@MeganRuth I did some art 🖼 a few years ago that was from the serial, was a birthday gift 🎁
UK: Rubber. North America: Eraser.❤🤣
Also aka Condom of course
To correct you, noses are red but often when blow too much I think and if have a cold
back in the 70s , the Milkman used to deliver glass bottles of milk that had foil tops to your doorstep and the pesky birds used to peck the top off
ahh ok!! Makes sense!!
We had em until our milk man retired in the 2000s

What he means by the "couple of things" in The Scum newspaper is that they used to have topless women on Page 3 every day.
I figured it was something sexual! The Toronto Sun has the Sunshine Girl which is a similar concept

love this sketch have watched it so many times and I still laugh.
Pages 3 of the Sun newspaper use to have topless women on.
this is perfect thanks megan
You’re welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it 😊

Thanks! For more British comedy please watch "Keeping up Apearances "...
The Sun newspaper was known for bare breasted ladies on their page 3
I don't think Page 3 girls are a thing anymore. Such a shame.
Samantha Fox was the Page 3 Queen 👸
Come on girl... the best ever from the Ronnie's was F U N E X ... av you any eggs.. it must be on UA-cam..
Thank you for saying, London England...and not United Kingdom.

In Canada milk comes in bags ??! That is weird.
There's a few countries that sell milk in bags. It's much better for the environment the bags can be recycled easily or reused if thoroughly sterilised & this makes buying milk cheaper too.
@@fay-amieaspen6046my Dad would wash and reuse milk bags.
Seems N Americans baffled by birds that peck milk bottles.
The last bit often gets missed. The nun asking for a rubber, which is also British slang for a condom.
I got that part! In Canada we only know the word rubber as condom. We would call what she asked for an eraser.
No doubt many of the laughs are due to that double entendre, but I think the point of the joke is that by asking for an eraser the nun reveals that she was doing the same crossword and the answer she had filled in for that particular clue started with "sh", not "gr".
It's more American slang.
Sorry, but you're completely lost.
