"Well, it's either two o'clock or they're still on strike." Classic!

[@GroundhogDayisAWESOME]

"Sorry, WRONG CUCUMBER." laughing my abs off!

[@MrDaiseymay]

No obscene or coase swearing--just great wit ,innuendo, and unbeatable delivery--there will never be another pair like them.

[@marybranicki3354]

SOooooooo well said !

[@jimhughes1962]

It takes genuine intelligence to write comedy like this. We don't see much of that anymore.

[@commentfreely5443]

the day after the world ends.

[@leafshade3643]

Swearing isn't more obscene than innuendo, in many ways it is less so, it's devalued and effectively meaningless.

[@-M0LE]

Definitely a great "PAIR" 🤣

[@Aran-vc7rx]

The eye level grill. Designed by ronnie Corbett

[@jonasthemovie]

Aran 999999999 The audience laughing before the punchline kind of ruined it.

[@therealxunil2]

Say what you hear....

[@dca-Letsplay]

what i love about that joke is during the laughter you can hear Corbett laughing

[@notthisguyagain4635]

I was born in 1975. My dad introduced us to the Two Ronnie’s, Dave Allen and Love Thy Neighbour. We had Kingswood Country in Australia as well. I miss the old days.

[@chestnutbloke305]

"Either it's two o'clock or they're still on strike." Class!

[@Over_Sky]

"Ah, yes, supposing... I want some crumpet at teatime" (audience start laughing) "Well, supposing I do" (audience laugh some more) "What I do after 5 o'clock is my own business" I never get tired of watching this clip. Brilliant from start to finish.

"When the wife blows out the candles tonight there'll be a cold front with a following wind." Thumbs up!

This is real comedy. You didn't need to say f words every 5 seconds. This was something very well written and brilliant and these actors really did a amazing job at bringing it to life.

[@rickmontgomery3037]

Exactly. Sadly, nowadays it's the F bomb and the "L" word....back then F meant Funny and L meant Laughter.

Not trying to get cheap laughs at other people's expense either.

Thankyou! I have been looking for this sense I saw a tape of this in '89! (I think.) The Two Ronnies never aired in Indianapolis.(Monty Python was already paid for.)

[@DamiensTrainsandTravels]

Great video, better than todays comedy, wait, there is none...........

[@neithere]

There is. It just takes time for a show to become classic. There's always been tons garbage and a few gems every once in a while.

I wonder how many of the comedians today, tomorrow and the future have or will be greatly influenced by the late, great Ronnie B. I would say more than "alot".

I’m 19 so I was born far from the days of good clean, clever comedy like this but I wish I was around during this time as now all comedy is is callous remarks and rude jokes but two ronnies, spike Milligan,tommy cooper,morecambe and wise to name a few that was the era of comedy and I hope it will live on to make us laugh.

[@mc-ec3bu]

I am so sorry you missed it it really was as good as it looks.

[@patrickbrookings]

@Dave Moore It's nice that a young guy such as yourself appreciates the older and witty humour. I fondly remember the days when I used to watch their shows back at home with my parents. They were absolutely hilarious! The same goes for Tommy Cooper, who you also mentioned. Sadly, none of them are with us any more, but at least we can still enjoy them through all these brilliant sketches :)

[@tamaramoran7463]

You have not missed a thing. Whenever you have free time watch them on KZbin

[@Jerrymouse79]

Tamara Moran yes I agree. For instance, type Tommy Copper in search bar and up pop some of his best bits ‘just like that’ 😉

[@bertilknudsen]

This is rather stupid. I love it!

This was back when Ronnie Barker was a multi-talented genius and one of the legends of comedy - he could make almost any joke work without being overly crude or offensive. A tribute to Ronnie. R.I.P. Political correctness killed comedy as we know it.

No political correctness back then, that's why we don't get great comedy anymore.You cannot joke about much anymore without upsetting someone these days. It is a shame that this type of comedy will not be about anymore. You cannot have a laugh anymore without someone wanting to take you to court,rediculous.!

This humour has not aged very well!
