Slim Pickman and Polly Parton, is a classical music sketch, by The Two Ronnie's

[@marty6945]

1:08 "They laugh as soon as he comes in... oh dear !" Oh God, how we, the earlier generations before you, were nasty racists back then, weren't we? This could never happen to your current generation. You are so new, clean, progressive, one might even say virginal. ...Maybe too much. By the way, you'd rather never react to the "Ronnie Barker - British Rail" sketch here, if you did, you might end up with heart failure.😁

[@Dr_KAP]

As an Aussie, we grew up watching the two Ronnies back in the ‘80s. I love British humour!! ❤

[@postscript67]

This sketch is actually from the series they filmed in Australia. They originally did it in their UK series and that version also used to be on KZbin. You can tell the difference because in the original they are both rather paler in complexion, not having been in the Australian sunshine, the wife is played by Josephine Tewson, and when Barker hands Corbett the marmalade he says something like "Oh look, there's one of your little friends on the label" (Robertson's marmalade jars used to have a "golly" on them).

[@Dr_KAP]

@@postscript67 Yes I have actually seen reactions to both versions but had't realised they did one in Australia. thanks.

[@atorthefightingeagle9813]

I love you two! So many Americans are just confused by British comedy and The Two Ronnie's are "very" British in their skits. But you guys are on it like a car bonnet. You both "get" it and more power to you both. Your reactions are a joy. Thank you.

[@bernadettelanders7306]

Thank goodness we got the 2 Ronnie’s and so much British TV in Australia. I remember watching this decades ago. As I’ve said before, Brit comedy is brilliant, shhh, even better than Aus lol. Oh I remember mum wouldn’t let us watch Benny Hill lol. Apart from that we watched stacks of British comedy, we still get it here on TV - Ta 😂👍

[@davidmitchell1391]

The BBC would NEVER dare repeating this sketch again!!!!!

[@holaclive]

They should 😂

[@DAVIDSHEILS-fs1og]

Who gives a shit,you can watch it at leisure.

[@BradBrown31]

@@DAVIDSHEILS-fs1og I do, why? Because it's sad, this is just humourous. I'm blind, you bet if the 2 Ronnies made a blind skit I'd be all over it! If we're really not meaning to offend that's as far as it needs to go. If people choose to get offended, that's on them.

[@TheYorkie2]

No chance sad woke attitudes zero😊😊

[@The.Android]

The Two Ronnies were the best. Especially their wordplay.

[@IanLavery-o7j]

Hi guys enjoying your reactions.ronnie barker has another show open all hours he plays a miserly corner shop keeper with a pronounced stutter and his nephew .the comedy is brilliant you'll both enjoy it .all the best to you both keep safe friends x

[@interghost]

Most Americans cant get 2 ronnies, so was great to see you laugh so much

[@andrewroberts299]

Love that you love The Two Ronnies. Another British comedy duo you should react to are Morecambe and Wise. Like the Two Ronnies they do a series of sketches, funny plays and musical numbers in their 1 hour shows and they are brilliant. Just look up the Morecambe and Wise sketch featuring the famous pianist and conductor, Andre Previn, who played along in their musical sketch and was absolutely brilliant keeping a deadpan face. Maybe start with this sketch as I think you’ll enjoy it so much it’ll make you want to seek out more of their material.

[@neilshots]

They are just class The Two Ronnies are just comedy genius, we had the pleasure of putting up with this every saturday night in the 80's. Thanks for using them so much on your channel its fun watching your reaction.

[@geoffersvoiceofreason2534]

They always ended their shows with a great musical number. Three of the best were: The Aldershot Brass Band ensemble. Great lyrics and complicated choreography all done in one take. The Plumstead Ladies Male Voice choir The Two Ronnies; Jehoshaphat and Jones. On tour (if you can get it)

[@glenninuk8981]

I have never seen that skit before! Makes me wonder what else I haven't seen. Thank you.

[@bigbird2100]

Great video 👍 The best is two Ronnie's "Cross word" puzzle and two phone conversations!

[@Santiago-zu2jy]

Love the backdrop and presentation. Thank you for the company & entertainment 😊

[@chrisspere4836]

I was born 1956 so I lived through so much British (or I should say English) TV, . I also saw a lot of American Programmes like Martin & Rowans Laugh in. Like watching your reactions to the comedy I grew up with so thanks for that.

[@geofftottenperthcoys9944]

'66 for me, grew up with these guys on Australian TV back in the day, I still watch the full eps now.

[@nicksykes4575]

*Rowan & Martins Laugh-in, including a very young Goldie Horne.

[@gregstickler1311]

As others have commented already, Racing Duck and Crossed Lines by the Two Ronnies are really funny. 2 of my favourite sketches and a must watch.

[@jontuson2078]

Two Ronnies were great. For another classic of the era, try Morecambe and Wise. The two best starting points would be the sketch with Andre Previn and the breakfast sketch

[@BanburyPuritan]

“ The Plumstead ladies male voice choir”. “ Crossed lines” “mispronunciation” some of the best imho

[@PaulSmith-bb7lv]

The script writers and the acting is amazing. I don't think we have seen anything so clever since then. Goose reaction.

[@huwgriffith1138]

Ronnie Corbett made a series called 'Sorry '

[@stevehartley7504]

Some of the song sketches are brilliant

[@martinp8174]

You really should react to some of their music sketches. The one I remember is them in a marching band, chatting to each other “ int it a pity that pubs in the City all close at half past ten “ hilarious !

[@lukemelon]

I really wish I could find the original version of this sketch, it was removed a few years ago and only this rerecording is on KZbin

[@nicolajessop2649]

Please watch Two Soups with Julie Walters x

[@LisaEvans-g3l]

This is about 50 years old just shows how things have changed x

[@martinidry6300]

The marmalade had the golliwog (from the brand, Robertson's) on the side, where the grocer said, "There's one of your friends who we won't see much of soon." It's been censored, so the skit was prophetic.

[@colinkinsville8699]

You guys getting British humour is fun to watch. Jess is great

[@raycardy4843]

They are unmatched for this type of comedy - even to this day, I sometimes call marmalade ma-malady!! 😁

[@garybarnett2756]

Give morecambe and wise a watch they are comedy gold.

[@asensibleyoungman2978]

From an era when we didn't take ourselves too seriously and we could laugh at one another. Unlike today when everyone is looking to be offended so they can have a miserable life.

[@bobanob1967]

I worked in a supemarket and was asked where the 'soup' was. I showed him, Campbells here, Heinz there. NO he says, Fairy Soup!

[@colinkinsville8699]

Watching you'lls reaction is really funny. Two Ronnies just great to watch

[@neilbroome2587]

Love listening to you guys

[@andyturner3056]

I grew up with this lol. Ronnie Corbett and Ronnie Barker were comedy geniuses lol. You must see the Fork Handles sketch for sure

[@paulbromley6687]

They do word play musical numbers that are clever and hilarious

[@Chris_GY1]

Both Ronnie B and Ronnie C wrote sketches, Ronnie B wrote some sketches under the pen name of Gerald Wiley plus other writers including John Sullivan who wrote Only Fools and Horses, Just Good Friends and Citizen Smith and Barry Cryer another comedy writer.

[@vallee3140]

Blew my brain, very clever writing.

[@dogwithwigwamz.7320]

Over here `cack` is another name for `stools` / `shit` / the leftovers from breakfast after a long day at work..... That made me laugh - a short and swift demand for `cack.`

[@dracula5487]

Asian's would come into the store I worked at and ask for Kit-E-Cat (cat food) when they wanted Kit Kat (chocolate wafer bar).........................😜

[@gjivanessahoggm7266]

I’d love you guys to react to Father Ted. - Any clip but the best one is the one about the ‘Greeks’ I thinks - following you guys for a while. Hello from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@farmaccount1653]

Not a Two Ronnie's Sketch, but, Dave Allen's 'Teaching the time' routine is outstanding... It's as old as the 2Rs too. Nice reaction vid :)

[@ROBERTCOVE-h2j]

Have you seen ' The Phantom Raspberry Blower, Of Old London Town' ?

[@kevinpugh3291]

Morecambe and Wise, some amazing scenes, even with the Beatles

[@pteppic76]

I love you two doing comedy reactions. For more Two Ronnies I’d like to suggest ‘Mastermind’ and ‘Crossed Lines’

[@zulkanainbaharuddin2185]

You might love the well known British Comedy show in the 1970s, "Mind Your Language". Don't want to tell you more. But it's very funny.

[@martindunstan8043]

The lady was on fire with the guessing,great reaction,cheers✌️

[@dannycashmore2345]

Watching you two is very uplifting, there is sadly not enough laughter in the world.😁 Other British comedians you might like are Al Murray or Micky Flanagan.

[@lindayoung4590]

Ronnie Barker died before Ronnie Corbett and for a little while he carried on the sketches with other comedians. A great one to watch is My blackberry isn't working. A great play on the names technology has pinched from the real world such as Apple and Orange (which you may not know was a cell phone company in the UK). priceless 😀

[@sangfroidian5451]

This is just a normal day living in London :D

[@lydiasefton4780]

Yes when I was there I thought quite afew of tge sgop keepers were avaricious and rude :D

[@Payne2view]

I don't know if anyone has mentioned but I'm fairly sure that is the remake of the sketch for Australian TV. They spent some time there for tax purposes as the tax was high during a Labour government the 1970s. In the unedited original, UK made version, when he asks for "ma-mal-adee" his is given a Robinsons brand jar of Marmalade, which at the time had a "Gollywog" mascot symbol on the side. Ronny Barker, the one serving, says to Ronny Corbett, playing the Arab, "oh look its one of your friends on the side there" pointing to the "Gollywog" emblem. That is edited out of most versions of the original as it is seen as potentially racist but was just the sort of thing a person may have said at the time, without meaning any offence.

[@Malcolm-c7x]

You must watch at the opticians

[@russellfrancis6294]

In this sketch Ronnie Corbett was the sheik. The way he was dressed, hilarious. Check out the two Ronnies sketch entitled Swedish made simple.

[@jeffreyweitzman6463]

The stupid and sad thing is if this sketch was done today a horde of killjoys would kick off making a fuss rather than just seeing it for the innocent fun it is intended. Benny Hill did a kind of sketch bit similar but think was with misunderstandings of words involving Chinese l think, equally hilarious.

[@barriehull7076]

As a person from the south of England I say tung ue but I have often heard it said as tong ue in other regional accents. Leigh in Lancashire is pronounced Lee, Leigh in Kent is pronounced differently, as Leigh /ˈlaɪ/, historically was spelt Lyghe, so we say it like lie as in fib. untruth.

He was asking for TONGUE…can of tongue!

[@CamcorderSteve]

If you realise that he was pronouncing the words exactly how they were spelt, eg. Tongue is pronounced ton-gue, Coffee is pronounced c-off-ee and marmalade, ma-mal-a-de. Quite simple really, but very funny.

Marmalade is not spelt mamalade. :)
