Absolutely brilliant we will never see the likes of them again RIP🇱🇦🇮🇪😅

This and the Andre Previn/Preview Morecambe and Wise sketch have never been bettered.

This sketch is revenge for the sweet shop sketch

Absolute classic, they don’t make them like that anymore 🤣😂🤣

What does he mean when he mentions "mon repos for the gate letters?

Duncan Kilburn. The Psychedelic Furs original sax and keyboard player ❤

this is what you call real comedy ,not the garbage they dish up these days .the ronnies where the best and can't be replaced.

It’s Ronnie Corbetts angry muttering when he’s getting the stuff that cracks me up 😂😂😂

Quality ❤

Written by Ronnie Barker but really a showcase for Ronnie Corbett who is so brilliant in this sketch.

Could the loud laughing stop please?? Is really annoying.

Would make a trip to Screwfix more fun!

Back for the umpteenth time, to have a good laugh! Both Ronnies superb, but I think this one is Ronnie C's.......... (and his best ever, in my opinion).

Where the ho's at

Hahaha 😂😆😁

Four years later, the roles were reversed in The Sweet Shop. Ah, the golden days of British comedy.

Brilliant 😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅

Comedy from years ago still rules as the true talent here shows. You had great script writers - the above 2 - Galton & Simpson - Jimmy Perry & David Croft. The list goes on. What do we have today? Nobody around with any talent that matches the afore mentioned.

So funny - my grandfather owned the hardware store in my hometown … brings back memories 😂❤

Four = For 😂

Brilliant ... R.I.P. Ronnie

Best sketch ever! So brilliant! All of us foreigners are totally lost in all the dialects... expressions and multi meaning of words ..

Got any Ps?

This shop was the Amazon of the 70s. Everything you could want in one shop lol 😂

"Got any caulk?" "Now look!"

1:20 don`t think you`re allowed a "socket" in a UK bathroom

Tubbs and Edward taking stock brought me here. Edward even looks a bit like Ronnie Corbett.

I see that all the old people have gathered to call this "the greatest piece of comedy ever created since humankind began". Meanwhile comedy excelled exponential since this boring load of toss

McIntosh's - Bushmills, Co Antrim Circa 1983

I have seen this sketch so many times and it still makes me laugh 😂😂 They both play their parts so well.

Brilliant comedy

So funny, Classic sketch

Whats the joke behind bill hooks? I know bill hooks are for chopping into hedges and that. Someone explain please.

I actually used this in an English class!

These days everyone is ordering items like these and more online and getting the right part or piece of equipment almost every time. These two mixed comedy genius with timing very well, and Corbett's disbelief almost looks real! 😂🤣

I'm still laughing @2024. 😂😂😂 Classic!!

Classic.

I went to the hardware shop and ask for a replacement fork handle they left.I couldn't get one

What a classic

3.29 Ronnie C nearly loses his composure

Still brilliant.... and I laugh just the same.......how.....did they keep a straight face to do this.......❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.....this shop sells everything g from a pin to a cannon as we used to say.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

There may be a generation gap here cos all I'm seeing is some lying prick who shoulda been battered 2 mins in the shop

The problem is though that “four candles” has overshadowed everything else that the two ronnies have done to such an extent that most people pretty much regard them as “one sketch wonders”. You ask 100 people on the street to name as many of their sketches as possible and I’d wager at least 90 of them could only think of this one sketch,it’s the same for the monty python team with the “dead parrot sketch”,they are regarded as one sketch wonders too by most people!

Arguably the funniest sketch in comedy history, pure genius and timeless.

sore tips was only time corbett almost lost it

They were a great comedy team but let’s be honest they are a “one sketch wonder”. Ask 100 people on the street to name as many of their sketches as possible and I’d wager at least 90 of them could only say “four candles”.

😂😂😂😅😅

miss these guys

This sketch will never grow old. It doesn't matter how many times I have watched it, it makes me laugh just as much every time. They both play an equally important roll in it. Just look at Ronnie Corbett's reactions and his muttering to himself. He reminds me of Charlie Hall - Laurel & Hardy's nemesis in so many of their films, and of course Ronnie Barker was a huge L & H fan. The bit at the end when it goes to The Two Ronnie's in the studio is very sad and poignant.

Electric plugs ya call them….the trade 😂😂😂
