The Two Ronnies - Four Candles

This is a classic sketch from the Two Ronnies always gets a proper laugh, classic comedy.

My best mate and me watched this religiously when we were down in the dumps and it never failed to make us laugh RIP Clint I miss you mate 😢

Nothing ever comes along as good as this

[@JeanetteParmantie-jq5xy]

These two were the greatest team.

[@emmapeart6101]

Great comedy from the brilliant two Ronnie's. Timeless classics 🤣.

[@_34_Lies]

It's never any less funny with each subsequent viewing. RIP two very funny men.

[@thebritishengineer8027]

You can watch this sketch a hundred plus times... you know it's coming but, you start smiling "plugs...what size do you want...? 13 amp...!" And still we laugh, it must be me but so little comedy today gets me like this does.

[@lyndonjones1514]

This may be the best tv comedy sketch in the world ever! I bet many hours of work went into making just a few minutes of classic television comedy.

[@MeteoXavier]

Most of time. Sometimes it comes as fast as the sketch itself takes to film, but usually it does require that much effort indeed.

[@andrewmccabe9842]

I remember watching the two Ronnie's way back. Fond memories of mom and dad laughing so much at the sketches. (Me too). These guys were top of Thier trade no swearing no cynical jibes no nastyness.just pure innocent fun delivered with a skill few of today's comics would dream of. I appreciate the fact that times and values have moved on and changed. But does some comedy have to be so brutal. God bless you two guys you we're part of my life then and still are now.

[@donnadumenko816]

Well put.

[@jillbeaven5468]

The funniest comedy duo ever . Ronnie Barker is a genius. Perfect timing Ronnie Corbett compliments him . Best comedy sketch ✍️ ever written 😂. Classic.

[@joanneappleby9234]

One of the greatest ever sketches

[@v8moneypit]

Harry Enfield's tribute with Ronnie Corbett was equally brilliant. And a respectful tribute to the great man too.

[@angelzipp]

I've watched this 10 or 15 times. Every time I laugh like I saw it for the first time.

[@timdurrant9007]

[@drahmann3492]

At Ronnie's funeral his coffin was surrounded by 4 candles.

[@jamsdodger8970]

I love this sketch. Brilliant !!!!

[@X05Radar]

Briliant, good quality too

[@markmurray1480]

Absolutely brilliant 👏

[@Nicholas_-vh6xg]

This is gold! How they kept a straight face during this sketch is amazing 😂

[@ericgonzalez4416]

I'm not sure, but I think Ronnie Barker lowers his head and cracks slightly @3:31

[@gazza2933]

Ronnie Corbett, gradually getting more and more agitated. Brilliant timing!

[@Vilhelm22]

13 amp gets me every time

[@topsecretmagictvwithmalnor6699]

Always one of the great lines. Just shared the video

[@lindarowlands7409]

Absolute classic

[@wretchedjohn6825]

Love Ronnie B's jumper. I'm sure I had one like that, and now I realise I prematurely discarded it.

[@lisabaker-xj5mk]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@siobhancosgrove4145]

There's bound to have been or still is either customer or shop assistant like these guys. Always looked forward to a Saturday night for Ronnie C & B. They don't make comedy like this these days.

[@ivankontra3446]

they're all like that

[@waltmcv]

would love to meet the 53 people who dislike this, just to give them a good slap

[@gftyhify]

I don’t think there are many shops nowadays where you can buy candles individually. Normally they are already in packs of 2 or more

[@vergellicerio8919]

ok.. buy you can still buy individual fork handles

[@gftyhify]

@@vergellicerio8919 can I have four fork handles please?

[@bobareeniobobareenio2935]

Some of the bits are word for word theft from Abbott & Costello. The others are from the concepts, such as the few meanings of the words.. It’s classic Abbott & Costello routines.

[@andyroberts4387]

You’re wrong.

It might be just me but I hear a double entendre. Say foork slowly.In an episode one Ronnie says 'what the folk on the hill are doing.'

[@TravellinOn2010]

It sounds like to me when he goes back up the ladder to get the Ps he says "I'm up and down the shop all F'ing week.... but that can't be what he says....although he would be thinking it!

[@TravellinOn2010]

Got any Ps?.....

[@Gypsy_Danger_TMC]

Only thing I don't get is the bill hook reference

[@EvaSnyder]

That is the only one I didn't get.

[@petergreen2552]

Bollocks

[@shannxn8469]

Bollocks

[@Synthnerd11]

"Bollocks" was not permitted to be spoken on TV or radio back then. That's why innuendo in comedy worked as well as it did. Ronnie Barker absolutely loved wordplay, you only have to look at his many Rev'd Spooner sketches, and the "Pismonunciation" skits, and his vicar of St. Cain and Abel with the sermon in rhyming slang. Barker's writing worked on assumed knowledge and not all-out crudeness, so in that sense it was intelligent comedy. And because of what wasn't allowed to be said on TV, a lot of the laughs could be raised by not saying anything at all, and letting the audience imagination do the work. It was all over their opening and closing segments too. One of my favourites was: RC: "The next sketch takes place in a ball-bearing factory, where I play a man who loses his bearings ..." (pause, then lots of audience laughter as the camera pans to RB) RB: "... and I play a man who loses his temper."

Whats the joke with bill hooks? Edit:never mind i read the wiki

[@donnadumenko816]

I can't make out what he is saying. What???? lol

Absolutely brilliant. Just came apart a bit with “bill hooks”, not an obvious joke.

[@rapid37]

Whats the joke there?

[@timdurrant9007]

Thhe One Appears to be probably 3 meanings Billhooks - agricultural implement Bill hook - desk stationery Bollocks (sounds like)

[@TravellinOn2010]

They weren't happy with that ending either.

[@gweilospur5877]

If you were being pedantic you might ask why a hardware shop would sell panty hose, canned peas and shoes.

[@andrewkennaugh6329]

If he wants "fork handles" why doesn't he specify how many?!😊 Sorry...

[@bobareeniobobareenio2935]

Sorry Mateys, a lot of this was copied from Abbott & Costello

[@MrBam79]

What in particular is copied?
