American Reacts to The Two Ronnies Murder is Served | Comedy Reaction

[@kengregory6026]

A pastiche on British Sunday early evening TV with an Agatha Christie whodunnit solved by Hercule Poirot, her Belgian detective (played by many actors including Albert Finney, as mentioned). Patricia Routledge went on to play a character called Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced Boo-kay, as in 'a bouquet of flowers') in a great sitcom called 'Keeping Up Appearances'. Her character here wasn't dissimilar. A great end to FRF, thanks so much Squirrel for doing all these over these past countless number of Fridays, it's been a treat.Gonna be a hard act to follow but I'm sure you'll find something for sure. Thanks again bud :)

1:32 Is it wrong that the moment I saw that bottom, I immediately went, ‘Oh, that’s Patricia Routledge’.

[@IanDarley]

Two Ronnies - The Phantom Raspberry Blower of Old London Town is a funny farce series they did.

[@cs8106c]

Love this. You should react to more with the fabulous Patricia Routledge who played the hostess.😂👍🐿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@richardbrown8966]

Ronnie's Poirot is based on Albert Finney in Murder on the Orient Express.

[@Paul-hl8yg]

Mrs. Bucket!! (Bouquet) 😆🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@jasonmepham6598]

The two Ronnies did an excellent, good old fashioned British sense of humour feature length film called By The Sea. You could react to this, split it into a few parts, Tony.

[@vicsams4431]

By The Sea is arguably the very pinnacle of The Two Ronnies. Excellent choice. Tony will laugh to tears come out !

[@Robbie3004]

The "Niece" was played by Candy Davis (born Clare Bastin), a glamour model (she won Miss Nude America in 1982) and actress who had a short TV career in the 80s. She made several more appearances on The Two Ronnies and was in the last two series of Are You Being Served? playing Young Mr. Grace's sexy secretary. Later on she became a novelist under the name Mo Hayder, with her debut novel Birdman being published in 2000. Her books were very dark and disturbing but were best sellers. Sadly she died last year from Motor Neurone Disease aged just 59.

[@rlosangeleskings]

I believe the original version of the Phantom Raspberry Blower of Old London Town is available with Spike Milligan doing the raspberries... The Two Ronnie's version featured David Jason as the blower (uncredited role)...

[@karenward267]

Nice to see Hyacinth Bucket in this episoode.

[@zarabada6125]

Another British comedian you may want to look up is Russ Abbot. He was the lead in The Russ Abbot show from 1980 to 1996. It was a comedy sketch show with a cast of comedians that changed a few times over its run (so a bit different to shows with a consistent cast like the Two Ronnies or Morecambe and Wise). As a starting point, I'd suggest "Russ Abbot in Lie detector.'

What a sad day #FRF coming to a harsh end but this one was funny 😂❤️🐿

A fitting ending for the Four Ronnies Friday Finale. Thank you Squirrel for making us smile and chuckle with these masters of their craft of comedy.

If you like Ronnie B's hair net, you'll love the moustache protector that Albert Finney's version of Poirot wears in the 1974 film of Murder On The Orient Express.

[@darrellpowell6042]

Its amazing how much work the Two Ronnies did with their careers. Still they left everyone small treasures of comedy gold to keep us all laughing even after they have passed.

[@jamesleogue9564]

Going out on a high note.

UK. MRS BUCKET FROM KEEPING UP APPEARANCES PLAYED A GOOD ROLE, SHE BRILLIANT ACTRESS..

[@peterhall2810]

There are a few short films out there that could be turned into several bits. The picnic is one about 30 minutes and By The Sea is about an hour.There are at least 2 more that I remember but have forgotten their titles. I'll try a bit of research.

[@f3aok]

Reckon you've done well to have found as many Two Ronnies sketches as you have.

Ronnie C's jumpers - famous from the shaggy dog chair stories

Will miss knowing the two Ronnie's will be on its been a good run though . Thank you. This was superb .

[@foxmulder6303]

Love it when you get the british humour

[@captainadams8565]

This is spooky. I was just searching Google for Agatha Christie. Did she only know about the upper middle class with servants?

[@Aw-zc2lt]

Jonathan Creek was a good comedy crime drama. Worth checking out.

[@alanjay5974]

Yes I agree.These were very clever especially the Danse Macabre one with the skeleton costume in the garage episode.But I don't think he will show them because of the length & getting blocked by the BBC.

[@seank5271]

Characteristically, Poirot wears a " hair net" on his moustache

[@ericg5791]

I would recommend The Darling Buds of May (the original series with Sir David Jason,aka Del Boy/Granville,not the recenr remake series).Its not a sitcom,but it was real wholesome,genteel,sweet,nostalgic family tv series set in the 1950's rural England,with light comedy and light on the drama. The kind of show for the whole family including the kids,to sit down and watch. Another great show if you ever want to react to with your kids,aimed especially for families,and especially for kids,was Worzel Gummidge,about a scarecrow that comes to life on a family farm (Both the original series starring Jon Pertwee,and the recent remake specials are worth a look)

[@BazzSelby]

Go find, 'The 2 Ronnies by the Sea & The Picnic'. Long, but excellent 2 Ronnies!

[@rutgervangestel]

the first two Ronnies sketch i watched!! i could not stop laughing!!!! andPatricia Routledge is in it.

[@MrT115]

After The Two Ronnies I'd like to see you do a few of the " A bit of Fry and Laurie" sketches. Examples of sketches you could check out are "The Understanding Barman" & "From Here to Just Over There" (aka "American Ass".

[@alangriggs6355]

That was a great take off of agatha christies hero love her stories

[@777petew]

British farce. It's funny even though I say it myself. :-)

[@rlosangeleskings]

If you can find the 7 of 1 series of RBs...you can get the pilot of The Phantom Raspberry Blower of Old London Town... I believe the two picked were the pilots for Porridge and Open All Hours...

[@rlosangeleskings]

I made an error... It wasn't 7 of 1... It was 6 dates with Barker...and David Jason WAS credited with the raspberries...unlike TTR series not giving him the credit at the end...even though it was him...

[@DruncanUK]

It's a shame you couldn't get hold of The Two Ronnies mini-series "The Worm That Turned". It was a serial story that showed every week as part of their main show. That would keep you going for a while!

[@annother3350]

Yes and Piggy Malone amd Charley Farley -- there's lots of good stuff he hasnt done

[@TheRealSquirrel]

I’m going to get to it. I wanted to do their series first not I can’t do two sketches a week so as I mentioned in the video I’ll be getting to the longer one off piece now. 😉

you have to check out the janet and john stories by terry wogan they are hilarious

[@lextex3280]

This is a great piss take of Hercule Piorot, an Agatha Christie character. Did you take a look at any of the "phantom raspberry blower" sketches they did squirrel. It was like a mini series.

[@Payne2view]

Nice to see one of the long sketches/films. I hope you have "Carribean Nights" (I think it is called) and "The ballad of snivelling & grudge" and "The Bogel of Bog Fell" available to react to.

Hi tony, when I've watched this I'm gonna murder a chip butty 😋

Perhaps as something to fill the gaping hole of the Two Ronnies I would highly recommend some Tracy Ullman sketches, there are lots of them on KZbin . It's something very different but very entertaining!

Read a Lot of Agatha Christie novels, and they differ in details to the TV adaptations (and the films are wildly over acted!), but I dont know why I read them, her conclusions I am sure have details that are never clude in through the book narrative and people brought in that are never mentioned, etc.

Hi SQ.If you're looking for a replacement can u try Dick Emery DRIVING LESSON.A little while back u had a chat with Electric Beard didn't u.He watched it & got caught out big time as to how good it is.He was one of our elite comedy character actors & was on TV for 20yrs which is a sign of big popularity. If u do watch it U could follow it up perhaps with Dick Emery MILKMAN.These are only suggestions to explore perhaps.Theres a ton of his material on Utube.Can u still get in touch with ELEC BEARD & ask him what thought.All the best.
