[@ThemeParkChomp]

I absolutely love a lot of “British humour” but its tiring see the amount of people who try to seem intellectually superior by announcing how much they appreciate it over anything else. This sketch is actually pretty formulaic and tired, just enjoy it if you enjoy it but dont decree it as the best ever just because it reminds you of ‘Four Candles’

[@jinajik]

"Let me put that date in my diary" This whole sketch was genius!

[@stephenfurlong4230]

I highly applaud Harry Enfield in this sketch. Although he barely manages to keep his face straight, he and Ronnie really sell this 3 minute gag and you genuinely believe that this could have been in the two ronnies repertoire.

[@darrenturner8035]

[@tomburley]

Great to see that humor can still be created in a clean, cleverly presented format.

[@tomburley]

@Shabda Sound I'd say that it was your mind that is the unclean issue. This sketch was well written and simply made fun of the names/processes of some brands - a little old fashioned 'tongue in cheek' light hearted humor. Sad that your mind went in that direction rather than appreciate the dry wit. I hope it didn't 'hurt your feelings' or cause you discomfort.

[@tomburley]

@Shabda Sound Well, since a dongle is a plug in computer interface and one requires the correct sized version to carry out the specific task the question is How are you so dirty minded that you had to leap to the thought line your tiny mind did? Since no foul language or crude phraseology was used the dirtiness is only inferred by the watcher.

[@RadicalRoots23]

the cleaness of humour is not a positive thing. all that matters: is it funny.

[@carmelpule6954]

At 01:53 Harry Enfield is struggling hard not to laugh, knowing that he is going to ask, " And, how big is your dongle?" I spent 20 years in England starting in 1956 and believe me the Two Ronnies kept me appreciating the British humor including that of Tommy Cooper and a few others who showed that comedy could be kept clean and not so offensive.

[@amymanley9875]

Love this. You can tell that they're having a really hard time not cracking up, especially when they get to the "dongles".

Nice to watch this scene which I'd never seen before, I imagine Ronnie B would have approved. Though, had he been around to write it, I'm sure it would have been legendary.

[@hellfirepictures]

No. The 'Classic' British humor was the original 'Four Candles' version. Which worked because every item being discussed was something that people genuinely asked for in a hardware shop. This doesn't compare at all because it's ridiculous.

[@Vinterfrid]

@@hellfirepictures No, that is not correct, You're assuming that everyone who watch the "four candles sketch" is familiar with British hardware shops - and most of the world does not understand most of those typical British references. It's quite a difference to e.g. Monty Python or Fawlty Towers - those have a universal humor you don't have to be a Brit to understand (and laugh at).

[@sixmill2]

What a classic this will be become. I love the part where Harry is trying to keep his face straight. 🤣🤣

It does show how much work went into 2R's sketches & how hard it is to keep a straight face. So cleaver.

[@ThStg]

As soon as the word DONGLE is mentioned Harry does his very best not to break character ( but, a, little smerk shows) & yet another shows when Ronnie says my Mrs has seen quite a few in her time. Harry is on the point of bursting out. A brilliant sketch well acted out ❤💕it
