American Reacts to The Two Ronnies Jiu Jitsu Sketch

[@charlesemerson6763]

You'd never get away with comedy like that today. So funny.

[@jamesdunlop8704]

Ronnie Barker was a real wordsmith. It was not realised until he retired that he had written a lot of the sketches. They had been submitted for consideration under an fictitious name. He lived near to me in Pinner

[@guyjiminjapan9824]

I thought I'd seen all of these back on the day, but this one was new to me. Loved it (from Japan).

[@simonjones8111]

Remember that Ronnie Barker also wrote a lot of the sketches under the name Gerald Wiley. The man was a genius ❤

[@petejones879]

I'm English and I thought I'd seen all the two Ronnie's sketches but I've not seen this before

[@margaretnicol3423]

The best start to the day is laughing with EB. 😀

[@hiramabiff2017]

haha E.B " Must have butchers down her tunic " is cockney slang for Butchers-Hook , " Look "... : )

[@adrianmorris5546]

This is absolutely hilarious love this the wordplay

[@moonramshaw1982]

It's a shame that sketch shows are in the past now and our comedy is still funny but different these days. You go with the times. At least we have you tube though to remember these classics and Alan sharing them round the world

[@andrewq159]

The Two Ronnies is often shown on the UK TV channel Gold, but they omit eps which contain sketches in which they play Asian or Jewish characters.

[@robanderson473]

Balls to political incorrectness!

[@bigbird2100]

Great video 👍 It's a classic two Ronnie's sketch.When someone start's to laugh in TV and film etc it's called "corpsing" trying not to laugh😅.

[@seijika46]

Their marching band sketch was impressive.

[@stevenbrindley2469]

Great stuff 😂😂. Another great find, such a shame we can't have comedy like this again in 2023.

[@robanderson473]

Yeah we can!😜

[@CMDRRustyDog]

Great stuff. Don't remember seeing that one before. "Must have a butchers down her tunic" was a great play on word (butchers, meaning to have a look)

[@DermotKieran1]

One joke you might have missed was when he said "must have a butchers down her tunic" That was a word play from Cockney rhyming slang. Butchers hook = look. So "have a butchers" means to "have a look".

[@andrewroberts299]

If you like wordplay and innuendo you have to watch the British Carry on Films - think you would really love em!

[@SpeccyMan]

Ronnie Barker was an absolute master of wordplay. Sadly there are a great many mistakes in the subtitles!

[@TheEclecticBeard]

Some it was the software couldn't keep up, some the subtitles were wrong but funny af as it was close enough but wrong enough to be funny so I left them instead of changing them.

[@alchapman-dp7zv]

If you haven't already seen it, the two Ronnie's four candles sketch is genius.

[@wildwine6400]

Its the 3rd most watched video on his channel 😅

[@altvamp]

And the mobile phone one

[@Sid-mq6dt]

Thanks Al , The stuff you put up i haven't seen in years. All good what you do!

[@vallee3140]

So pleased you did this I love your reactions, they make me smile.

[@welovecars6607]

The best and there’s nothing to replace this now

[@MrMousley]

''Karate .. this means empty hand .. like scotsman on flag day'' 😝

[@wildwine6400]

The records he said are Max Bygraves records. Max Bygraves is a comedian and actor but he did a lot of songs to . His most famous song is Tulips from Amsterdam

[@top40researcher31]

also his 1973 hit any dream will do

[@SpeccyMan]

Actually his most famous song was more likely Gilly Gilly Ossenfeffer Katzenellen Bogun by the Sea. 😁

[@glynnettleton9900]

Another comedy duo of the 1970's is Morecombe & Wise. If you haven't dicovered them yet I really recommend you explore & react, they were another staple of primetime weekend family viewing. Top draw celebreties & stars of the period knew they'd really "arrived" when they'd been invited onto the Morecombe & Wise Show to be lampooned 🤣.

[@moms79]

Your laugh makes it so much better 😉

[@stephennesbitt6059]

Classic wordplay by Ronnie Barker!😂

[@glynnettleton9900]

There's nothing remotely racist or offensive about the two Ronnies as the comedy is mostly based on the 'play on words' throughout their sketches. Their material is decades old now but its still hilarious 🤣

[@jakubfabisiak9810]

My favourite part is the "nip in the air", showing an airborne Nip. "No can do, got headache" was also hillarious

[@andrewwest8334]

Have you done the Ronnie Barker drinks order sketch yet? It's just wordplay at its very finest. Definitely one of their best.

[@Seagull6819]

There’s a brilliant Two Ronnies sketch on Daily Motion called “Bert & Charlie” another superb wordplay sketch. I also believe there’s another one on KZbin

[@grapplehoeker]

Thank you! I've never seen this sketch before. Peking duck! I'm going to remember that ;)

[@matthewbason]

@The Eclectic Beard - have a look at “Swedish lesson” :-D

[@hunglow62]

i think you should do a reaction video for the tv series Porridge...it starred Ronnie Barker and Richard Beckinsale who played Alan in Rising Damp....Porridge is set in a prison in north east england and is one of the funniest tv shows you will ever watch ...it ran from 1974 until 1977 and is a must see tv show ...the character actors are the finest from british comedy....please please watch and do a reaction video....thxs colin

[@glynnettleton9900]

I'm really enjoying your journey through UK popular culture from the perspective of a middle aged blue colar american male 🙂. May I recommend a lesser known star of stage. A performance poet called Les Barker. His comedy is utterly ridiculous & takes a weird surreal twist on everyday life with lots of whimsical concepts thrown in to add to the fun. Look for: Guide Cats for the Blind & also Ocasional Table. Have fun exploring the Les Barker rabit hole.

[@SpeccyMan]

I went down the rabbit hole and saw a blue collar on top of an occasional table.

[@PHANTOMZ0NE]

Ah yes! When actual comedy was still allowed.

[@Oligodendrocyte139]

If I’ve got this right, the guy being kicked in the nuts is Stuart Fell who also did stunts on Aliens 👽. Talk about a wide-ranging CV 😊

[@Bodneyblue]

Also in films such as Superman and Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back...And lots of Dr. Who!

[@Oligodendrocyte139]

@@Bodneyblue This was probably his easiest day at work ever 😀

[@lesleycrowther-scott1809]

Isn't English humour so much better than American comedy

[@georgerubypoppy1063]

Don`t know if you got that one EB, when he said "must have butchers down her tunic". Butchers is cockney rhyming slang for look. Butchers hook rhymes with look.

[@ojayferojay478]

Fantastic! Great entertainment growing up!

[@wildwine6400]

Check out "The Two Ronnies - Sweet Shop Sketch" thats one of my favourites of theirs

[@TheEclecticBeard]

Reacted to that during a live stream. I need to probably cut it out and put it up.

[@wildwine6400]

Oh ok. I searched it on your channel and didnt see it, was surprised as its usually a pretty popular sketch to have gone under the radar

[@davidjhall5315]

The old ones are the best 👌

[@robanderson473]

I like the kamikaze joke being a play on kazi, which is what Brits call the toilet and kazi is in fact the Zulu word for lavatory! I love word play in jokes, it's a fun way to stimulate the brain. Farty lefty types, of course would hate that sort of thing, deeming it "racist",blah de blah, but what would they know about comedy anyway, 'cause they're just a bunch of dreary jobbies, anyhow. A Pal told me a ripper a while back that I'd never heard before and it's an old one, but it was new to me and I was on the floor in tears sounding like an asthmatic seal that's lost it's inhaler, plus it's the way my Pal told it which is an important factor..... "Waiter, Waiter! These prawns are rubbery." "Ohh, fank Yoo!" One of my favourite jokes on the top ten list.😁 Here's to political incorrectness! ✌️🤪

[@SpeccyMan]

It is actually spelled khazi and it is either a Cockney (or possibly Polari) word derived from the Italian casa meaning house.

[@robanderson473]

@@SpeccyMan Well fancy that! I knew casa is Italian for house or home, so that makes sense but gabinetto translates to lavatory and toilette is well, toilet! Oh I don't know, languages eh? They sure are funny as well as confusing, ha! Brits tend to mangle languages, but no-one mangles the English language like Aussies, haha! Anyway getting back to khazi, I can't remember where I learnt it meaning lavatory, but looking further into it (errrgh, smelly pun!) Zulu for toilet is - indlu yangasese, so perhaps khazi is taken from the gasese bit to become khazi, because it's all in the way folk pronounce words I s'pose. But anyway, let's just keep it simple and just call it the good old bog! Cheers for clearing that up, anyway. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go to the dunny! 😁👍

[@himarkburdett9378]

Theses a two Ronnie s I refound call crop of the flops it's hilarious

[@jakubfabisiak9810]

If you watch Blackadder's Christmas Carrol, ghost of christmas future, they reference the TwovRonnies.

[@paulwallace4332]

'Must have butchers down her tunic' means, Butcher's hook, must have a look' so they came up with the two pork chops which may have come from a butchers 'hook' . It's all a play on words and only the British will understand.

[@TheEclecticBeard]

yeah, I got the reference. I don't get all references but that one I did get.

The modern day WOKES would frown against this sketch and complain about being sexist towards women and racist towards the Japanese when it’s neither it’s just great comedy , sad to think the day when we can’t laugh at ourselves

have you seen 'some mothers do have 'em. very funny.

You wouldn't do it nowadays, but it's not malicious and still funny.

[@keepgoing1973]

The subtitles are wrong

[@pikoborracho81]

😅 just wondering don't hate me but are you going to do open all hours season 2 n 3 or some porridge ... which has a spin off... going straight.. lol ..n then there's only fools n horses .. thin blue line phoenix nights ...I've seen them all but when you react it's like watching them with a friend

[@TheEclecticBeard]

At some point I will go into Open All Hours past season 1. Porridge, and Only Fools and Horses are shows I'm doing exclusively for my channel members. At some point I'll take an episode or two of each and edit them to see if I can't get a portion of them on here since both are heavily struck and blocked by the BBC in my experience. Thin Blue Line I'll attempt. I looked at 2 or 3 episodes of Phoenix Nights and at some point I'll restart but to be honest 3 episodes in I thought my eyes and ears would bleed from boredom.

[@pikoborracho81]

@The Eclectic Beard no one wants bleeding eyes ...n I'll say ears for the deaf peeps.....always thought the worst thing a blind person read in braille....'danger do not touch'.....just british ..got my dark humour love ya reactions bro miss the open all hours I've seen all the shows but there's great more episodes n it's like watching TV with friends........fuck I need to get out

[@leighmonty13]

Arh good old days when people didn't get offended at everything, god she was a big girl

[@Lnch4ALion]

Who did the subtitles? 😂😂😂😂

[@TheEclecticBeard]

I had Adobe Premiere Pro transcribe and then put the transcription up as closed captioning and then had to go through the whole video to correct problems I saw. Some I left in for the comedic value of the wait what factor some will have since some come through and I couldn't make out what was said, knew it wasn't what's on screen but was funny as hell reading it.

[@davidcarrol110]

The word play is far too clever to be put in the culturally inappropriate category. Sadly this sketch will never be shown on mainstream media now.

when he said must have butchers down her top ....butchers hook is cockney rhyming slang for look ... we only use the first word in cockney rhyming slang .. example ' have a butchers at the bristols ....would be have a look at the bristol cities ...have a look at the titties.......my old china ......china plate ....mate :)
