Morecambe&Wise - The Jungle Book - I Wanna Be Like You - Disney spoof

[@albertpeterson5585]

...Louis Prima and Phil Harris would be so proud that this is still around after all these years.

[@juliedobson3039]

No swearing or sexual innuendos….just pure talent ❤️

[@stephenguppy7882]

Just seen three programmes on BBC2 tonight about Eric and Ernie. Just ideal to include what has been a perfect Christmas Day. And some of their Thames work was unbelievable. For quite a period at ITV during this period, they were without Johnny Ammonds and Eddie Braben, though they all reunited eventually. I actually cried watching them tonight because it dawned on me that we will never see anyone ever again as good as them. Thanks to Eric and Ernie and all who made their shows possible.

[@josefschiltz2192]

What really sells this routine is the energy that Eric put into 'Baloo's' dance language. Eric was just incredible in being able to put comedy into dance. As with 'Singing In The Rain' and his comical feathering. No other mover like him.

[@PUPNRC.Mixes.Suites.Extended]

I was born in 71, and often look back on comedy of old and think... OMG! How off Earth did we ever find that funny, but these two! Geniuses! Absolute legends of comedy!! As some else here said, no swearing, so innuendos, just pure talent! So true! ...yet my fave comedy ever is... The Young Ones! HAHAHAHA!!!! Also, Mowgli, brilliant! Almost outstared M&W!!! lol

[@richardharris9788]

Perfect timing, they were simply the best.

[@everettscott4745]

Absolutely fantastic to see my childhood hero Derek Griffiths in this.

[@TheHisNat]

Well that certainly brought me a little bit of sunshine.

[@missmanxee]

The Jungle Book is my all time favorite Disney movie and seeing this amazing sketch featuring the late great duo Eric and Ernie as Baloo and King Louie is just pure gold thank you for sharing this amazing piece of work 👍❤️

[@devijankowicz9491]

Oh, missmanxee… you’d be even more charmed if you read the original. I bet you’d revise your view of the movie…

[@russellbaker27]

In my humble opinion, this was morecambe, and wise finest hour. Incredibly funny, perfect timing, both gentlemen, a genius of thier time. God bless, I grew up with you two in my life. Thankyou both so so much. Both just Gentle and kind entertainers of the time. you are both sadly missed. 🙏❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏❤️

[@Nooziterp1]

This must be one of the few Morecambe and Wise skits I have never seen before. The duo at their best.

[@johngreenpsychic]

Thought I had seen all of their sketches until I saw this ... very funny. They to me will always be THEE best comedy duo from the UK ever... Very sadly missed.

[@janetstevens6051]

This and the Andre Previn sketches are my absolute favourites. They are like fun medicine. They never fail to make me laugh . Magic!

[@kerryl4031]

My dad's favourite - he cracked up so much when we first saw this. Good times. Thank you.

[@mayagar6796]

Oh my goodness how I love this. I wish they would put more of them on tv. Absolutely brilliant!

[@rhyfelwrDuw]

Love Morecambe and Wise - excellent comedians! This is so hilarious!

[@wenglishsal]

Oh my goodness, from 2.05 when 'Baloo' AKA Eric, starts to dance, I am howling with laughter... Simply brilliant... :0)x

Wonder how much time he needed to get used to dancing in that getup?

There will never be another team like Morcambe and Wise.

[@gordontaylor5373]

I wish they were here now to brighten this endlessly bleak and joyless world! You're still adored for the joy you brought. Thanks boys.

[@tgpok4r]

wow remember watching all those years ago, although it seems like yesterday, great great times and as funny now as then they can’t. date,,, thanks Gary

[@jude4jazz]

I can't thank you enough for posting this. My husband and I laughed so much and so loudly when we first saw this that we woke our children up. We'd caught it on video so were able to watch it again with them! I've never understood why this one has never been repeated - I think it's the funniest of all their programmes. Brilliant!

[@hugebartlett1884]

Just lucky enough to catch this on the TV years ago, and always considered it as one of their topmost sketches. But somehow until now it disappeared. A great many M and W fans will be very,very happy to catch it this time.

[@annoldham3018]

So lovely. They were less popular then but still gave everything into their performance. And Derek Griffiths as Bagheera.

[@Pitman999]

I never knew this existed!! My two loves combined. Perfect

[@DaveDave65]

First time I've seen thiss & made me laugh even more that the original 67 movie. Pure class & simply priceless.... What a treasure they were :)))

[@jetfire851]

I liked the Jungle Book remake, but I won't lie, it would've been hilarious if they had made it like this.

is that PC? Or me being over sensitive? Because i do think everything is too PC these days. My point was that in 2017 they was still showing talons of weng chiang so how can it be ok to show in 2017 but not now?

[@margaretwalker969]

Can't get enough of these two, gave us sooooo much laughter over the years

[@stephengordon6292]

Like many on here, huge M and W fan 59 years old and don't remember this. So glad you shared this, a good laugh in these troubled times. So silly, its beautiful.

[@GrezH]

I remember seeing this first time out and it's just as good as I remember it. Thanks.

[@BigAlaMcC]

one of my top five eric and ernie sketches, very underrated and not at all well known. this deserves some great recognition.

[@johnrice7076]

There will never be another double act like them they were brilliant sadly missed RIP

[@supergran1000]

I saw this when it was originally shown on TV. Still makes me laugh! Thanks gary, and thanks M&W for the smiles you gave us.

[@phil3380]

Good Lord!!!! How have never seen this before. I loved M&W but don’t recall this... fabulous by the way... but I never got past the Andrew’s sisters and Len Rossiter

[@lesleyannbarker8429]

I just adore Morcambe and Wise, they were so clever and soooo funny! You must look for the sketch they did on "singing in the rain" where Erie plays the part of Gene Kelly dancing in the rain, sheer magic!

[@danrolnick1]

And Danny Rolnick who stars as Mogeli should have been nominated a tv award. It was great fun and have great memories

[@oilyrussianpipecleaner]

[@lesleyannbarker8429]

You must also look for their sketch on Cleopatra; l can't remember who played Clio, but she was a serious actor, Erie played Mark Anthony's and Eric played a messenger from Rome, they a do a very funny silly dance, funny enough to make you cry!

[@phajip]

Glenda Jackson?

[@danrolnick1]

Gary, I presume you are Eric's son, who I managed to contact pre youtube days. 1978, I was 11 years old when I was chosen to be Mowgli. Families like mine didn't have a Video Recorder back then. About 1991 you got me a VHS so I could watch it for the first time since the original broadcast. In 78 I was also included in the sting adverts. The experience remains one of my main life highlights of which i am quite proud. If of interest, I have a few original studio photo stills taken during filming.

[@hugebartlett1884]

I reckon everybody would be proud and feel immensely privileged to appear in a M and W show. The lucky ones made it.

[@johnhawkins6506]

Put them on KZbin!!

[@jjfarr72]

Shouldn't your comment have been "I worked with Morecambe and Wise and look what happened to me". One for those that have seen the BBC best of show enough times to know it word for word.
