REACTING TO THE TWO RONNIES - Swear Box & The Man Who Repeats Things

[@adrianmorris5546]

The two Ronnies were absolutely hilarious they gave the whole world so much enjoyment over the years

[@steved272]

Ronnie Barker was a genius and one of, if not the best comedy wordsmiths ever. I cant think of anyone that comes close to what he did. .... great reaction Megan, thanks ... I hadn't seen either of them.

[@MeganRuth]

He certainly was a genius! Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@vallee3140]

Amazing how he remembered that,

[@stephendisraeli1143]

The trick of bleeping out innocent words goes back at least to "I'm sorry, I'll read that again", a radio show of the 1960's. They did a number of famous people, perhaps the best being Julie Andrews and her famous song "I could have BLEEPED all night".

[@MeganRuth]

aha amazing! So much of what we know of television today goes back to radio. I love it! 😆

To be fair 'danced' and 'dancing' is so often used in songs as a euphemism for... naughty things its pretty much synonymous.

[@Poliss95]

@@MeganRuth It was either Alas Smith and Jones or Not the Nine O'clock News that did a spoof of The Two Ronnies where they replaced the euphemisms with the actual swear words. Their shows have largely been forgotten while The Two Ronnies lives on. Alternative comedy they called it while others called it an alternative to comedy.

Harry Hill did a hilarious clip where sound-effects made it seem that a naturalist was talking about *king penguins.

Wow. After decades of waiting I finally come across someone who used that phrase from the Chinese names story. Wonderful.

[@richardcoleman1427]

If someone repeats you in a pub, you simply say 'do you want a pint' or 'the drinks are on me all night'

[@RalphBrooker-gn9iv]

Monty Python used the same idea. The influence (either way) is unsurprising since Ronnie Barker wrote for That Was The Week That Was, a satirical show which starred both Ronnies and several Pythons. 😊

[@JRCSalter]

I've seen a few non-Brits react to the Two Ronnies recently. Nice to see more classic British comedy gaining traction across the pond that isn't Monty Python. Incidentally, many Pythons did write for the Two Ronnies, and some even appeared in the show.

[@jasonwhitehurst7003]

this is so hilarious.i love the two ronnies.anyway enjoy your evening and sleep well.

Hilarious Megan, Ronnie Barker was a genius, and his wordplay at the end was nearly as good as yours !😂❤

i am using my swear jar as a retirement supplement.

Little Ronnie lived near me and he was *little.* He was a bit sensitive about his height. Very clever and funny guy.

[@MeganRuth]

aw aha! That's a shame. He was certainly very funny!

[@jasongoodacre]

Glad you are enjoying some classic British comedy. How are you finding the locals living in London?

[@MeganRuth]

I love living in London! Obviously London isn't known for it's friendliness but I find the locals quite pleasant nonetheless :)

[@lifelover515]

Another good one Megan. Gerald Wiley strikes again, I'd wager. Cheers.

[@MeganRuth]

indeed! Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@f3aok]

If you haven't already done it their Argentian racing pidgeon sketch is a funny one.

[@andrewr311]

I hope you do the show Alas Smith and Jones

[@BoB-th8wm]
