Bobby ball was such a great entertainer and between them both they were a great team and a brilliant double act bobby ball god bless him👌

[@simonslyhargreaves]

I remember in the early 90s i was a duo with my brother singing in the clubs around northeast of england , And we were filling up with petrol at a services at about 1 in the morning and out from the petrol station walked bobby , he looked a lot smaller then a thought seeing him in person, and me being a fan from being a child i got starstruck and didnt have the nerve to speak to him and say hello. I wish i said something to him now and told him i was a fan. Rest in peace bobby lad.

[@irenarobh6058]

[@johnnychantelle6206]

[@giuseppe9145]

Thank you so much Tommy for this Great tribute to your Great pal Bobby..

[@jenniferlopes557]

What a treasure to be able to see this. I couldn't watch it in America. Thank you!

[@philsooty61]

I worked with these two on the construction of Oldham Civic Hall way back and these two used to practice their act on the workers, I knew then one day they would make it to the top, they where so funny!

[@petecross3745]

This'll do for me cocker...I watched this over Christmas with my wife and two kids. We laughed all the way through...I always loved Cannon & Ball but I looked over at the end and my whole family were in tears about Bobby... amazing man.

[@RTim-k2m]

They had whats missing from today's cynical comedy and that's ❤

[@kellyshaw7271]

What a !ovely tribute and so moving at the end. Bobby was one of a kind and irreplaceable, he's sadly missed. I was gutted when he died, he made my childhood a better place and all my family loved their show. Thanks for uploading this, really was a joy to remember a talented man.

[@harrysstephenkingreviews6385]

Being only 21, my only experience of Bobby Ball is from Not Going Out but this documentary had me in tears. What an incredibly funny man!! RIP Bobby Ball, you are sorely missed.

[@RTim-k2m]

Mis used in not going out. Painted him as a working class scumbag. I stopped watching not going out when they brought bobby in and treated him like dirt

[@carollangstaff8736]

Rock on Bobby in heaven 🙏🙏🙏🙏💓💓💓💓😭😭😭

[@eltonjohntributedeantorkin197]

thanks for the laughs Bobby x

[@singin8324]

Someone like Bobby only come around once in a lifetime, I'm glad it was mine. Thank you for the laughs.

[@kristinejames9812]

Thanks for this tribute to Bobby! I missed it on telly at Christmas...I am in tears right now,just as when the sad news came through. RIP. BOBBY! 🤣🥰

[@valeriejefferson7913]

I have watched this video over n over again it's still brilliant r i p bobbyx even now when feeling d9wn watching Tommy n Bobby they still make me laugh and smile xxx

[@fatabelly]

Thankyou so much for posting this fantastic video! Bobby Ball was an absolute comedy genius! He was also a great actor, writer, musician and an all round superstar! Growing up I fondly remember watching Bobby on TV...and Tommy of course. Every week they were Saturday night prime time gold. It's so sad that he's not with us anymore...We have lost a phenomenal human being who entertained so many people for decades. He was one in a million and there will never be anyone else like him. Rest in peace Bobby, na night mate. You truly are missed very much...keep on rockin' up there ;-)

[@stephenwilson9789]

In 73/74 The Mrs came home from work at Osram Shaw Oldham with 2 tickets 50p each to see this act in a pub in aid of pat seed cancer charity fund. I went mad as we had no money. Tommy comes on saying his drummer hasn’t turned up Bobbys in the crowd saying I can play drums. It was jam packed and my face and stomach hurt with laughter We was struggling to breathe. I’ve never laughed like that since

[@downey8341]

I cried my eyes out when the theme tune played at the end. It brought back so many great memories of my childhood. They were Saturday night.

[@Marikioable]

I don't watch much television now so I honestly forgot how funny this lovely man was. I think everyone I knew as a kid growing up said "Rock on Tommy" Bless his wee cotton socks. (And His braces) R.I.P

[@annbramley2766]

The little man was a genius god bless Bobby rock on

[@stephenmcarthur1714]

For me they were the best

[@dashrenda597]

I went to go see them in 1985 in Sheffield's city hall, I'm so glad I got to see them live... you'll do for me cocker RIP Bobby

[@chrisdoyle2365]

Absolutely wonderful,😂😂😂😂

[@oxfordlocalsclassifiedads-6969]

This brings tears to my eye, one great statement, you do not worry if you are laughing, yeah, seen them once, and they were great

[@stewsretroreviews]

You really hate me, deep down, your little lier!!😂. Fantastic and always be part of my childhood. RIP Bobby lad.

[@patrickohara705]

What a Fantastic Tribute To a very funny man who made millions laugh throughout the years, i was in tears during this tribute especially at the end R I P Bobby ,thoughts are with your family and Tommy

[@garylawless3608]

This was both a sad and happy celebration of Bobby’s life. I watched one of Tommy and Bobby’s television shows a while back when it just popped up on YT, and since then I have watched whatever else is available on this platform. Cannon & Ball where consummate entertainers for sure, but the attraction I think, was Bobby. A superb entertainer and actor in his own rite, he was, in his own definition, ‘not a comedian, but a very funny man’. Here in Australia, we don’t get a lot of British news, so I was shocked when a clip popped up on YT announcing his passing. I have watched, and re-watched everything I can of Cannon & ball, and Bobby never disappoints, no matter how many times I see him and Tommy together. R.I.P Bobby, and I hope you know that you made a lot of people very happy when you were here to entertain us.

[@karensimonaitis-ob2kj]

God bless you Bobby. Very funny guy and perfect dad for Lee in not going out. Gone but not forgotten. I was born 1977 so you was on our tele on a Saturday night and glad you was on my tele years after.❤

[@RTim-k2m]

He should never have done not going out. They wrote him as a working class scumbag

[@deanhumphries7878]

Only one word LEGEND and when they worked together both LEGENDS

[@paulcassey7736]

I was lucky enough to have met Bobby and Tommy through the entertainment industry for which I am a part of ... pure comedy legends ... sorely missed

[@RTim-k2m]

"He went from funny to vulnerable to fake aggressive in a flick of a switch" so true 😂❤ Loved how they started on wheeltappers with people thinking he was just a member of the audience 😂😂😂

[@steerpike50]

Awesome talent , God bless

[@richardjohnson9987]

The best comedy duo ever.

[@davidwalker8955]

Cannon and Ball true Legends who actually worked hard to get to the Top. Rest in Love Bobby.

[@marion3386]

Rock on Bobby!!! 😔 will miss you . 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💕

[@RTim-k2m]

The year tommy and bobby were on im a celeb was the best imo. I dont always watch it but did so because i knew they were going to be taking part. I remember a lot of people were saying it was boring that year because they all got along. That to me was one of the reasons why it was the best of the series

[@juv7]

Brilliant they brought a lot of love and laughter to so many people 🌹🙏🌹

[@shuddupeyaface]

Yeahhhh! One of the good ones xx

[@kelleyshropshire4170]

They were a big part of my childhood. When Bobby passed away my husband didn’t want to wake me in the morning because he knew it would break my heart 😢 rest in peace top man x

[@anthonylunn2599]

I use to look forward to sat nights. You knew you were in for a gud laugh no matter how ya week had gone they were on tele and you were gunna be cheered up. Thanks for that Bobby r.i.p. God bless.

[@gaysy1st]

This is brilliant & so touching. So glad I found it, thanks for uploading 😊

[@Da1Dez]

Covid is so evil for taking such a warm and wonderful soul from us! Bobby will never be replaced or forgotten.

[@rossmcl1776]

I went to see them live on stage in 1987/8(?) and they were just superb. Honestly, one of the best acts I've ever seen. The sheer energy they had right from the first few seconds, which built and built, and that in turn created an energy from the audience - which they fed off. They were just fantastic. One of those times when you're laughing so hard it genuinely hurts. It's a great memory. RIP Bobby. Love you Tommy. Thanks for all those laughs.

[@stephenmcarthur1714]

Brilliant video he is truly missed

[@seanjosephhayes]

So sad. RIP Bobby. Tommy, I hope you’re okay. Met you both once in Blackpool. Phone was so old the photo was far too blurry to make out so I sadly don’t have that any more for a memory. Two of the nicest, down to earth, genuine guys you could ever hope to meet. Mind yourself Tommy. ❤️

[@denisebell5101]

Awww bless him 💕 R.I.P Bobby you were brilliant ❤❤

[@mytye]

You will do for me cocker rock on Bobby! your in our hearts and thoughts and you never be forgotten 💯legend

[@marion3386]

[@jonathanhinkins6215]

God bless Tommy and Bobby

[@markwarrington7705]

miss him great comedian

[@sarahdavis8704]

Rip Bobby ball ❤❤❤❤

[@alanfairhurst6055]

You and me Tom; the Sweeney! Genius comes in many forms; and through a little scruffy welder from Oldham it touched the hearts of millions.

[@markorollo.]

Not much these days makes me proud of being from Oldham but these two always will, there have been quite a few celebs from Oldham over the years, but these two stand above the rest to me.

[@darrendoherty7316]

I still 😢 cry when I watch that but you can laugh 😂 because Booby was so funny to Miss you RIP Booby 🙏

[@RTim-k2m]

My fave of all his catchphrases was "deep down you really hate me." 😂 Of all the guests status quo were the best. Mick mcmanus and stuart mcguan were a close 2nd.

[@markorollo.]

Those bits when they point out someone in the audience, I saw them live when I was a kid and they did that to me at one point. Something about Tommy said the audience didn't laugh at something Bobby said and he pointed at me on the front row and said "he did" a small but memorable moment.

[@TerryMoulton-m4q]

I can them all night because so good

[@TheMrB]

On TV in 1969! WOW

[@justinvardy2652]

Good comedy

[@lesleymcshanemitchell9651]

rock on bobby

[@davidbrown6888]

I know Bobby ball was a person who believes in God like me to. Now after all the years I've enjoyed his entertainment from the early 80s I will look forward to seeing him soon when Jesus takes the church up.

[@johnwilliams2479]

Before Ant & Dec these lads where Saturday television, Ant and Dec can't sing, tell jokes, play musical Instruments, dance, i give in

[@RTim-k2m]

Ant and Dec are just presenters
