[@Bethi4WFH]

Have you reacted to Only Fools and Horses? Many Brits top favourite comedy show. You seem to relate well to British humour, so would probably 'get' all the laughs we loved.

[@nigelwatson1443]

So brilliant scetches. Unfortunately they have both sadly died

[@Steve_P_B]

I would recommend a sketch titled "The One Ronnie, My Blackberry Is Not Working". Ronnie Corbett with Harry Enfield. Harry Enfield himself is a legend of British Comedy and Ronnie Corbett has him struggling not to laugh.

[@jelofts]

According to BBC TV at Ronnie Corbett's funeral service eight years ago, there were four lit candles behind the altar in tribute.

Mr Barker was the best comedy writer around. Genius. And Mr Corbett was the best straight man around. It doesn't get any better.

Hey guys👍the ' four candles sketch was from 1976,the clip at the end was much later and not too long after Ronnie Barker passed away(2005) with Ronnie Corbett passing in 2016. Two legends of safe family comedy that were massive in the UK with Ronnie Barker starring in hit sitcoms open all hours and Porridge and Ronnie C in sorry.

[@AndrewDixonMusic]

Four Candles was recorded in 1976, and The Two Ronnies show ended in 1987 (having started in 1971). The part at the end was from a show done in the 2000s call "The 2 Ronnies Sketchbook" where they introduced many of their classic sketches. This was the last of those shows, and what you saw at the end was the very last moment of them on stage together.

[@jamesgorman7417]

The Two Ronnies were the masters of the language, wordplay and wonderful comedy. Ronnie Barker wrote many of the sketches in this classic show that had families on Saturday nights.

[@ianpounder692]

He wrote many of the sketches under a nom do plume (Gerald Wiley) and submitted them to the shows anonymously. This was so he could be sure they were being accepted on their own merit rather than because they were written by a star of the show.

[@2e1r3s2]

At ronnie corbetts funeral they had four candles on the alter as a tribute to him.

[@Dairy917]

It was a show where the two Ronnies introduced some of their most memorable sketches. They were absolute genius’s. I lived less than a mile from Ronnie Corbett and saw him often. He was a lovely lovely down to earth guy. God bless them.

There is a modernised version later with Ronnie helping a customer sorting out up to date stuff. A man brings in a modern phone and tells Ronnie his strawberry isn't working and off they go with similar comic mix ups. It's great.

[@clivemason-ms8ju]

Their TV series in the 70s and 80s drew huge audiences, and the Christmas Day specials were a staple. I remember hearing our next-door neighbour roaring with laughter every time the Two Ronnies were on TV, even through our common wall. Ronnie Barker was also in a couple of very highly regarded sitcoms, Porridge and Open all Hours. RIP the Two Ronnies.

[@FayeSless-di3jg]

When this sketch was recorded electrical appliances in the UK were sold without plugs and we had to fit our own - hence buying 'plugs' was a regular necessity (also had to make sure you got the correct fuse rating, most commonly 13 amp but could be anything from 1 amp upwards to suit the appliance). The law changed in 1992 now requiring plugs to be pre-fitted. Shops just like this used to really exist in the UK.

[@simonm7133]

This sketch was based on a real life story submitted to Ronnie Barker (the large one!) and he wrote it under his pseudonym Gerald Wiley. It's wonderful wordplay. Barker, incidentally, wrote many sketches using that name, sending them in via a third party, and it was some years before he revealed the truth to the other writers of the show. He admitted that he wanted his sketches to be chosen on their own merit and not just because they were written by Ronnie Barker.

[@direnova6284]

They were the masters of wordplay, Ronnie Barker (the big one) wrote most of their clever word sketches and wrote them anonymously so they wouldn't treat him differently from other writers. He was also a10/10 comedy actor in sit-com's, some amazing character parts and each almost unrecognisable from the others.

[@KGardner01010]

As you can see, I'm a month behind from when you aired this video folks . . . however, it seems as if you're heading down the 2 Ronnies road for earlier comedy at present . . . The 2 Ron's became firm favourites in the UK for their wit and humour with wordplay in sketches. They were both actors who eased into TV until they became a duo together on screen . . . An earlier duo for you would be Morecombe and Wise (M&W), another top pairing in comedy gold who usually had over 15 million people staying in on Christmas Day Evening to watch their Christmas Shows, and to see what stars they would have appearing in them . . . Singers, Actors, Musicians, etc, were all happy to be made fun of by them in any show they created - because if they were on an M&W show, then they'd made it! To check out their best known sketches (for now) - I will give you just 3 to look for on YT, (the colour versions not any B&W ones) and you can react/watch them to see what you think about them . . . 1) Singing in The Rain . . . 2) Mastermind . . . 3) Greig's Piano Concerto . . . Eric M and Ernie W slightly predated the 2 Ron's and started out differently, so they had a different brand of comedy. Eric and Ernie were two teenage theatre performers (I guess you might say vaudeville acts in a way?) - so they learnt their comedy ropes there before any TV comedy like theirs was even a thing really. Eric, the tallest one with the glasses, was the main comedian - and Ernie was his straight man more often than not . . . When still teenagers, Eric's mother who was his manager, saw Ernie at the same theatre venue that Eric was appearing at. She got them together as a duo and the rest was history with a duo legend being born . . . In their sketches with various well known stars from all walks of life, their shows just kept getting better and better and more watched. The singers got to sing - just not in the way they may have thought they would with those 2. The actors and actresses ended up being in little Ern's, "Plays What I wrote" - basically cut-outs of major films, etc, performed by them and these stars. Glenda Jackson, Francis Matthews, Peter Cushing, etc . . . One Christmas Special even had a musical rendition of "South Pacific's" There Ain't Nothing Like A Dame . . . featuring most of the well known newsmen and commentators working for the BBC at the time . . . Another funny comedian for you not to miss out on is the late great, Dave Allen, an Irish comedian whose anecdotes, stories, sketches, and skits about religion and other comedic jokes brought him to mass appeal in the UK - even among the Catholics who maybe should not have actually found them funny either, but did . . . Just never ask how he lost half of one of his fingers though - as none of us still actually know, as his story of it just kept changing about it . . . Good sketches to start with, "Sperm" . . . "Religion" . . . "Learning To Tell the Time" . . . "Teenagers" . . . and his ghost story - and of course the many more that he did for us all including those . . . Enjoy is all I can tell you about M&W and Dave . . . as you will love them just as much, too . . . Cheers.

Hiya. Most people, however, don't know the full quote is "the customer is always right, in matters of taste." Only meaning, if they want to buy something that doesn't suit them, let them. Great, too, that Jess knows a whisky and soda means a whisky and soda water. I don't know about now, across the pond, but years ago, in the UK, there used to be a soda syphon on the bar so drinkers could add their own to their taste, at no charge. Today, it's in little mixer bottles and charged for. Stay safe. All the best to you.

[@patriciaburke6639]

Just in case you were wondering, the sketches were always recorded in front of a live audience, it’s not a laugh track. Yet another ‘wordplay’ skit was: ‘Name Droppers’.

[@RNTV]

@patriciaburke6639 I've had to look into this topic now that it's brought up so much. Please don't take me the wrong way, but I suggest looking into it as well. With live audiences, they found that people would laugh at the wrong times. They would use prompters and even plants in the audience to help mitigate these issues. Something else I didn't know about was the invention of The Laff Box. "The Laff Box, also known as the Audience Response Duplicator, is a machine invented by Charles Douglass that plays pre-recorded laughter on demand. The Laff Box is a typewriter-like device that allows sound engineers to press buttons to produce specific types and sequences of laughter." It was invented in 1953 and was commonly used going forward for live audience recordings.

[@mervinmannas7671]

it was in fact their very last show as Ronnie Barkers (the bigger one) health had not tbeen 100% although they had retired as a comedy duo in 1987 I believe. Both also did comedy series Ronnie Corbett in Sorry and Ronnie B. in Porridge, set in a prison. Their shows were watched by millions and their Christmas show would have an audience of 18 million nearly half the population at the time. At both of their funerals alter boys came in with the coffins carrying 4 candles.

[@Brian-om2hh]

These two - Ronnie Corbett and Ronnie Barker (the big one) - worked superbly well together, and were at the very top of the comedy tree in the UK for years. Ronnie Barker wrote most of the sketches, and co-wrote sketches for other comedy shows too. Both are sadly missed.... Try searching for Porridge - with Ronnie Barker. In it he plays Norman Stanley Fletcher, a prisoner in fictitious Slade prison. It was absolutely hilarious, and was right up there alongside Fawlty Towers for the quality of it's humour..... Porridge is a slang English term for serving time in prison... Watch out for Mr McKay the prison warder. He bounces off Ronnie Barker superbly well, and both of them are the cornerstone of much of the superb humour.....

May Favourite is the mastermind sketch answering the question before- but anything by these legends is OK with me - both very sadly missed- they were a British institution.

There did used to be actual general stores just like this in nearly every town here in the UK. Sadly these have mostly been put out of business by the chain supermarkets etc. You need to find the Two Ronnies 'Racing Duck' sketch. No, Soda water is a specific thing to add to whisky, & comes in a syphon with a level squirt tap. This was long before your Coca Cola, Pepsi, Sprite even existed etc. These are NOT soda, in the UK we would term them as 'carbonated drinks' maybe, but ask for the specific one when buying. If we asked for Soda, we would get soda water from a bottle or syphon. If we asked for coke we would get Pepsi or Coke, or another Cola. We would not expect 'Sprite' unless we asked for sprite, etc.
