My 5 Favorite Two Ronnies Reactions

[@alabama1413]

They were without doubt the best comedy duo of their time. As you say, it’s all about word play & the scripts are brilliantly funny. In my opinion, their expressions are half the comedy value. I have all the ‘Two Ronnies’ shows on DVD & it’s mandatory viewing every 2-3yrs. I never get bored of watching them.

[@heathcornbeef]

I'm a young ones fan i watch them every few months I've got every episode on DVD and my favorite movie of all time is THE LIFE OF BRIAN. WERE ALL INDIVIDUALS...... WELL I'M NOT!. WHO'S THAT WELSH TART? I'M NOT A ROMAN I'M A RED SEA PEDESTRIAN

[@nottmjas]

I love the audience's reaction to "What is a jockstrap? A nutcase". They first laugh because they found it funny, then they laugh a second more loudly and clap when the appreciate the quality of the writing.

[@davidz3879]

A brilliant comedy duo.

[@kyotocoversjimanderson782]

These two guys were just brilliant, week after week, for years.

Really glad I grew up in Australia, as we got all these great UK shows on all the time! At 56 (today actually!) I still love all these old shows!

They used to play the upper, middle and lower class comedy clip in our social studies class. Social commentary through humour *chefs kiss*

I didn't like two Ronnies growing up late 70s through the 80s . But now I love them. So glad people are discovering them and liking them

[@vallee3140]

Just watched them again, but to be honest, its just to hear your wonderful laugh, night

It’s genius comedy. I miss The Two Ronnie 🥲

The Two Ronnies remind me of Christmas🎄⛄❤🇬🇧

[@leewelch1247]

The fork handles sketch is simply a play on the scenario of one word with multiple meanings. So Clever, yet so simple and of course funny. 😂😂😂

[@ianbentley4663]

The "Blackberry" sketch was recorded after the death of Ronnie Barker. The role of the shopkeeper is played by another well known comedian, Harry Enfield, who can be seen to be having difficulties keeping his composure at times. I suspect that anyone taking on that role would have the same problem, the whole sketch is hilariously ridiculous. I really miss the Two Ronnies, may they rest in peace.

Good choice on ya top 5 haha classics 👍😅🤣

[@garyrichardson8934]

Comedy gold. Although to be absolutely correct two of the sketches were not from the 'Two Ronnie's' show. The black and white 'class' sketch was from the 'Frost Report' in around 1964 or so. The Two Ronnie's TV show didn't start until 1971. Also the 'My Blackberry is not working' is from a Christmas Special called the ' One Ronnie' after Ronnie Barker sadly passed away. They are both sadly now gone. RIP. Still from wherever they came, they are all classics and will still be laughed at by our great great grandchildren and beyond. Quality comedy!

[@MrSinclairn]

Excellent compilation,EB(Alan),👌although the Harry Enfield one isn't a proper Two Ronnies sketch😏;the well-known B & W 1960s one with John Cleese is a expertly-written,still relevant satire on the British class system [which was repeated/updated twice for the later 1970s 'Two Ronnies' series] and of course,the world-famous '4 Candles' sketch,written verbatim by Barker from a real-life hardware store incident viewed by a friend! 🤣 Proper Mastermind is still ongoing,but do you note the contrast between the comedic versions of 'The Two Ronnies' and 'Morecambe and Wise'?😉

[@kevinty7]

Great reaction EB🫶🏽

[@annirvin6555]

Just to let you know. When you watched the Sinderella clip, you asked if there was a full version. Jim Davidson, who was the tall chap in the panto, has just advertised the full version on DVD

That sketch with John Cleese was done in the 1960s I remember it.

Ronnie Barker was a prolific writer, not just for The 2 Ronnie's.

Thanks dude , You know I gotta say EB I didn’t think I’d laugh today , it’s been a rough one but dude I was dead wrong 😂 , lying in my bed on a holiday park where I work in uk isolating with my third heavy dose of gastric Covid and as I only just got it I’m now not likely to visit family over Xmas as my mum has copd and is high risk so I been pretty miserable all day , then you go and make me laugh so much the tears were running down my face , I’m proper cheered up and pulled me out my wallow and I just wanted to say thanks 👍

[@GinaBeana_Tootsie]

Awesome I luv the Ronnie’s ❤and these were good picks ✌🏼

[@MuckinFental]

INTERESTING FACT: I say that, but I definitely do find it interesting..know if you would be interested in the following (and this can only make them even more genius than we knew).. Here goes.. Whilst both Ronnies would have the ideas, write the jokes and flesh out the characters themselves, there was one exception to this. A seemingly eccentric man used to send in to the producers sketch ideas, with suggested lines, in the hope of maybe seeing a joke of his on screen. Anyway, they were so clever and funny that the producers couldn’t help showing them to the two Ronnies, and they agreed some were great and tweaked them and they got into the programmes quite often. The guy’s name was Gerald Wiley. With no return address, the couldn’t write back or pay him. It was years later that Ronnie Barker finally admitted it was him all along. His reasoning was that his ideas were genuinely funny, and didn’t just get a yes from the producers, just because he’d written it. Clever, no?
