An absolute gem of a comedy duo ..loved Bobby as a kid..would have me in tears with laughter. RIP Bobby you legend

[@NetworkDistributing]

[@Ballerz____]

So very very sad that this legend has gone. I grew up watching them. A piece of my childhood has dimmed.

[@mellee6448]

[@1220b]

Thank you Bobby for all the times you made myself and my family laugh together in the early 80s. Those memories will stay with me. Rest gentle , enjoy your cosmic journey

[@BrianSmith-lj6ug]

Imagine the fear and stress on their first ever sketch and show.The boys did good.RIP Bobby.❤

[@DAVID-bv2gv]

These two are a Legend, Why isn’t there any more comedy about like this these days 🇬🇧

[@NetworkDistributing]

They don't make comedy like they used to

[@SloopyDog]

I love Cannon and Ball. It's great seeing one of their first appearances. The got better with every show and won the hearts of audiences all over the world.

[@mydayis5]

RIP Bobby. Great memories of watching Cannon and Ball with my dad in the early 80s. Great comic.

[@Ninjamohawk]

I'm an American with no cultural or nostalgic lens to view this through, that said this is really good.

[@the_trooper_72]

@Michael Moores people who don't understand working class backgrounds wouldn't get this..

[@francoandjimtherotties2592]

I'm 48 now and it still makes me laugh,as soon as they walked on screen I'd be in hysterics,rock on Tommy,that'll do for me🤣😔

[@iStuwie]

I'm 15, 16 in 2 months. My dad use to watch these when he was my age and he got me to watch it and now I have 1, 2, 3 seasons. I love Cannon and Ball.

[@stevelee4952]

Saw them in Essex in about 1980. Best live comedy act I ever saw.

[@sanjek]

Rest in Peace Bobby, thank you for all the laughs

[@lornamuncaster8589]

Have loved cannon and ball for years. First saw them live in 1991 on north pier in blackpool

[@josiethornton7049]

They are even better now in 2017. Bobby's play "the dressing room" FABULOUS

[@masterliver101]

I saw c&b ar a working mans club in West Bromwich about two weeks before they got on tele...remember it clear as dat becayse they kept on slipping tge TV prog into the act. I was 11 and they were absolutely hillarious. My mom worked at the club and we went backstage at the end of the gig to meet them. Absolute gents. Not a scrap of big headedness we sat and chatted for about 20 mins before i got their autographs and Bobby kept my liverpool fc oen by accident. Mom had to go back in the next day to ask him for it back......lol Brilliant back then....dated a bit now but shal akways remember the act and them with fondness

[@solosam9]

@Masterpiece GB I'll

[@thepathiwalked5881]

Bless you Bobby Thank you for the giggles Bet you fought but our Lord said, Time to rest in peace Bobby. Loving thoughts for your wife and sons, each of you will know his presence. All of us who remember ROCK ON TOMMY catchphrase will be here on youtube remembering a man who loved giving laughter.

[@Emerald007007]

Rest In paradise Bobby you were the nicest funniest man in show biz

[@winsfordtowncouncil6843]

Bobby - you'll always be a hero - rock on!

[@peterjory8830]

Good Times which we will never see again ❤️😔

[@markorollo.]

If my hometown, Oldham, did one good thing it produced some of the best entertainers we ever had, these two, Bernard cribbins (mum's uncle knew him when they were young) Eric Sykes, even Jack wild (same class as my mum at nursery school). Just to name a few.

[@whitavfc]

bring them back love themmmmmm

[@davidb6681]

Great memories,thanks to both and sleep well.

[@mooseylad]

Memories.. rest in peace bobby.. Laugh me laugh

[@NetworkDistributing]

He gave us many laughs during his career

[@ThatCoalSoul]

As many others have said, his timing is amazing!

[@markorollo.]

I remember as a kid seeing them in Blackpool, there was a point in the show where it went something like Tommy saying something funny, Bobby says "that wasn't funny", tommy replied "they laughed", and Bobby pointed right at me in the front row and said "he didn't!!". Went something like that anyway....

[@johnnygreenshirt6215]

2023 these guys still make me so happy.

[@Brian-hp2ee]

Dedicated to Yvonne 💕💕💕

[@alisonpovey4566]

Hello I met Tommy Cannon twice, I saw Tommy Cannon and Bobby Ball at Great Yarmouth and Scarborough, I even got picked on by Tommy Cannon, Bobby Ball picked on my late Father thanks for posting this please post more thanks

[@muhammadalieesaa3379]

They were funny without swearing & this goes to show that you don't have to use bad language to be a comedian.

[@neilypeelie]

Bobby Ball. Legend. RIP.

[@NetworkDistributing]

Undoubtedly a legend

[@dareks8000]

The Opening Titles were shot on 35mm film - unusual for TV budgets at the time.

[@michaelburling]

Oh yes, I remember having to order it in specially from Kodak!

[@flashbangelectrics5565]

Cannon and Ball, the best ever. Rock on.

[@joepublic4082]

"Deep down inside you really hate me..." RIP Bobby.

[@stephielulu9096]

I forgot how funny they were. Rock on Bobby

[@jamsheadaziz3999]

Two of their best sketches, on KZbin, are with Kenny Everett, dressed as priests and one with Rik Mayall. 😆😆

[@mica412]

I can't understand all the people on here who post negative comments about Cannon and Ball. If you dislike them so much, why are you even watching them???

[@adrinathegreat3095]

mica steph because people like to revisist their childhoods, good or bad.. When this tripe was on there were only 3 channels to choose from, no mobile phone or internet, most didn't have a vcr. So most people watched the same stuff, many didn't like it, there must wasn't much choice. When you have more choice then there is more competition, and content is on the whole better, with little competition things get staid and boring

[@petemarr824]

People dont like car crashes but they stop to have a look.

[@solosam9]

@@adrinathegreat3095 true but they're complaining that they've never found them funny.. Yet they look them up in here just to slag them off.. If you never liked them why bother watching and moaning

[@sheilamcgowan7186]

Don't think the two Ronnie's have got anything to worry about cannon and ball were crap

[@tedhuges8275]

Death comes to us all he will be fine where he is ❤️❤️

[@BillyJango]

Cant belive i actualy used to watch shit like this when i was a kid!

[@BillyJango]

James Boston Yeah, that's why I don't watch telly at all these days. I just use youtube. I would not have a clue what to watch on telly today. I gave up on it a few years ago!

[@Apokalypze2077]

Rest In Peace Bobby Ball 🥺🥺

[@markorollo.]

I dont know if its a good thing or not, but being from Oldham like those two theyve always been a favourite, got their autograph somewhere that my dad got when he owned an aerials business and repaired Tommy's once. He did Ken Dodds once too, mustve been recommended lol.

[@antonyhobbs1144]

their act never changed

[@Cool2BCeltic]

The ship Tommy tees off from is Captain Scott's ship, the RRS Discovery which is now berthed in Dundee.

[@ZINCOVIX8754]

Cheers mate.

[@malcolmdavies6509]

Rock on Tommy RIP BOBBY BALL

[@kilbraur]

No wonder they had to add on "canned " laughter.

[@MrBooojangles]

I met them once in a shop in north Wales, I thought I was short but Bobby Ball was shorter then me.

[@ZINCOVIX8754]

hall and oates brilliant...

[@kezadrone]

Like your avatar. Battle of the planets . Classic, while we're on retro here.

[@cruiseylee]

Rip Ball :(

[@andyshortland]

rest in peace Bobby

[@angelis1179]

Cannon and Ball were, by far, one of THE best comedy duos this country has ever seen! Their contribution to British comedy is pure gold! Yes their humour is different than the drivel that passes for "comedy" today but they will live long and old in the hearts of those who let them into their lives on a weekly basis when they were on Television! I wish they would do An Audience With...on ITV!! Love them both!! And to all the idiots on here who slate their comedy genius...or all a load of prats!!!

I know it sounds weird but i always fancied Tommy Cannon yes am weird lol.

[@MrBooojangles]

@babyfacemichael EH!!!!!!!! I don't know what you're on about. Did I mention Bobby Ball's height in relation to his comedy work? No I did not. I was just saying he was shorter then me when I met him.

[@davidjameswalton1867]

Rip bobby

[@ladynerd1983]

This programme was on ITV, the home of second-rate comedy.

[@dlamiss]

As high as second rate ? this is as shite as it comes...... Cannon and Ball were worse than awful

[@nigelhart4823]

I can think of many acts in the modern era that are far worse.

[@solosam9]

@@dlamiss still got 18 million viewers every week

I liked these guys when I was a kid, but my goodness....this is terrible!

[@Trotskyxx]

Arguably the high point of their careers - it was all downhill from here.

[@solosam9]

They're still touring now.. Can't say that for most acts so don't think they're complaining

[@thomassmith1313]

and cannon and ball aren`t either

[@edmondmurphy946]

Cannon and ball was about as funny as having a toothache they weren't awful they were fucking shite

[@davidscarrott3907]

[@Trotskyxx]

Would have been helpful to include a few extra jokes beyond the Van Gogh one, which is the highlight of these dismal few minutes.

[@babyfacemichael]

@MrBooojangles I'm sorry but I don't understand what the height of a person has to do with whether or not that person is funny?!

[@LL-uw6sm]

Shit.

[@adrinathegreat3095]

Most people's memories of this are as kids, 5-10 years old laughing at it, it was aimed at kids same as playschool, neither of which I'd be in the least bit interested in watching as an adult. even as a 10 year old I found there humour cold and stale, they were nowhere near as funny as anything else on the TV, come to think of it, world in action had more laughs in it than this

[@nigelhart4823]

Galaxy Tab humour must have passed you by when you was 10.

[@solosam9]

So what did you watch this for then.. Oh yes.. To moan about your lack of humour

[@raw5742]

Compared to the greats that were around in that era they were not that great but much better then the foul mouthed downbeat s;';'t that passes for comedy these days from the mouths of posh faux lefty shirt lifters like Jimmy Car. Never mind the fact that TV companies don't seek out proper comedians out with their own middle class PC crowed and instead pass of rubbish reality tv as entertainment.

[@DaleHodgkins0n]

Abslutly, peopld like Bernard Manning was brillyant.also.. all these PC womkers don't understand comedy back then it was fine to have a laf about birds or sooties and it was fine and nobody cared.this woke lefty shit is rubbish... just having a laf about rspe or periods or immigrunts doesnt mean your racist or sexyist, its just fun.the 70s and 80S were really ghd best.rickon timmy!

[@JoseMartinez-og2hy]

About as funny as an orphanage on fire.

[@ianstrange5674]

One of the worst "comedy" acts of all time in my opinion.

[@ianstrange5674]

Well I'm entitled to comment surely?!

[@stevee6305]

only if you want to be a negative numpty

[@ianstrange5674]

+Steve E Goodness, you surely don't have to take my comment personally?! Well I guess you see it as an attack on your personal taste in comedy. In that case maybe I ought to remove the comment.
