The Two Ronnies - "Your Nuts, Milord" "Fork 'Andles" & "Squash" - three CLASSICS!

My favourite is "Squash" - but "Fork 'Andles" is the classic. Written by Ronnie Barker under a pseudonym, it was one of many pieces attributed to "Gerald Wiley" - even Ronnie Corbett didn't know who Gerald was. But everyone found out - when "Fork 'Andles" won an AWARD!

I'm re-watching so many of The Two Ronnies' classic sketches. After each one I think, 'That's my favourite.' RIP Ronnie Corbett. Let's hope you're having a few jokes tonight with your mate.

[@marcellepesek3038]

AndrewofWare, I write this 6 yrs after your initial "2 Ronnies" comment. I just wanted to say "hello" to another lover of these 2 super chaps as well as telling you how touched I was by your words. Best regards!

[@nerfherder5129]

Squash is hilarious the salt is so real. Barkers comic writing and corbetts unrivaled timing make this arguably the greatest comic duo to ever grace tv. I grew up with them and its mortifying to know we have lost them both. Rip

[@cmdfarsight]

They are indeed great but I would have to put them at equal billing as Morecombe and Wise.

[@Bruce-1956]

[@NickJay]

Weird - I've loved & enjoyed the 2 Ronnies for years. Enjoyed many a repeat yet never seen Squash before today - here. Amazing why it's not shown more. I love the shute one too with Ronnie Barker working in the laundry department and Ronnie Corbett supposedly being thrown down the laundry shute. lol

[@strikemaster1]

One of the best ever. It helped explain why my wife left me. She taught me how to play a game she played all of her life of 60 years. After loosing a couple of games, I started wining, and boy, she never liked that. So I had to play dumb and loose a few to keep her happy. Then she got cocky and asked for a contest first to 20 games. I beat her hands down, and 3 days later she called me a cheat lol. A few months later she was gone. True story. The irony? Never been happier on my own. Loneliness is one thing, but loneliness in a marriage is a whole different ball game. So yes, understand why little Ronnie got upset lol.

[@VHKDK]

Never more a true word spoken about marriage!

[@DieFlabbergast]

*lose, lose, bloody LOSE -- NOT "loose"! And you started WINNING, not effing "wining"! And if this damn story is true (which I doubt), you beat her because you are a MAN and she is a WOMAN, and they are NOT the same thing!

[@strikemaster1]

@@DieFlabbergast Gee man/woman... take it easy teach. Dont normally answer trolls, but for what its worth... its a true story. The game was Backgammon, so man or woman makes not difference teach.

[@ConstantlyDamaged]

@@strikemaster1 She played backgammon "all of her life of 60 years"? I bet for the first ten she was rather easy to beat!

[@strikemaster1]

@@ConstantlyDamaged Probably true... but whats your point? Everyone is an easy-beat at first. My whole point was that it is not about the game or who wins or who looses... its about who can handle winning and loosing. Because I loved her, I saw her pride destroying herself, and is why I let her win, to help build her up again. But it backfired on me lol. Anyway, I am much better off now in more ways than one.

[@marcellepesek3038]

Ah, what marvelous geniuses they were! Why can't we have anything like that nowadays? I can watch these videos over and over again. By the way, during the "Your nuts, Milord" sketch, is it my imagination or is there smoke wafting into the scene repeatedly? Do they have dry ice somewhere, or does it have anything to do with the content? Does anyone know, please? Thanks for all the years of laughter, Ronnie C. and Ronnie B. You've added much needed humour to our lives. I hope you are both in Heaven, thinking up new sketches there!

The Four Candles sketch was based on a real event in a hardware shop. The staff in the shop had a customer who came in asking for four candles but was asked how many fork handles he wanted? They cleared up the misunderstanding but thought the incident would make a good sketch on the Two Ronnies. They wrote to them about it and the two Ronnies liked the idea so much that they had it expande out into the sketch that is a comedy legend. It was the only sketch they ever created that was based on a suggestion from a viewer.

The famous trick to play on new boys (it was usually boys in those days) was to send them to a shop for a "long stand." But the best example of this humour i heard of was one of the old hands at my father's building firm sending the new boy to the local garage for a "pint of comprehension", the garage-man (who hadn't been warned) caught on and asked "Have you brought the dry water?" Of course he hadn't, so he had to walk back to the store again.
