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

From their under-rated Thames series which in my opinion, very often rivals their best BBC work.
Why dont we ever see any of their two ITV series and some Xmas specials being repeated?
A mystery but the writing can still be brilliant even if Eddie Braben seems to love recycling old ideas, but recycled M&W still seems fresh as Eric and particularly a more relaxed Ernie, play fast and loose with their new found ITV freedom!
They never give less than 100% and the love for their profession is always evident.

Im not plugging this dvd - just want to see this material reach a wider audience who've let it pass-by while the BBC gather all the praise with their repeats each year!

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

No swearing or sexual innuendos….just pure talent ❤️

[@richardharris9788]

Perfect timing, they were simply the best.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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…

[@TheHisNat]

Well that certainly brought me a little bit of sunshine.

[@everettscott4745]

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

[@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.

[@mayagar6796]

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

[@jeanbeavers6983]

Hilarious my son found this, this morning. Creased up laughing

[@TycoonGamer]

first time i've ever seen this... my favourite double act + a great disney film = me falling off me chair! HILARIOUS!

[@wenglishsal]

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

[@synthonaplinth5980]

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

[@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. 🙏❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏❤️

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

[@aala7337]

You’ll never beat these two guys,good clean fun all the way!

[@Nooziterp1]

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

[@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!

[@marion3386]

I remember watching this when I was little. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 I wish I could go back!!! 💕💕

[@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.

[@franl155]

I never even knew this existed! I was looking for the movie clip and saw this. Clicked so fast I sprained a finger. Thank you so much!

[@kerryl4031]

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

[@janetstevens6051]

[@margaretwalker969]

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

[@annoldham3018]

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

[@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

[@BigAlaMcC]

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

[@keithblaenshet5041]

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?

[@cmartin_ok]

Absolutely irreplaceable, I still find Christmas sadly disappointing with no new M&W special show :-( Just look at the footwork in this clip

[@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]

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.
