One thing I find remarkable about these is how they remember such complex dialogs to be able to film them without cuts. A classic example is their Ponting Punting sketch.
I was raised on The Two Ronnies - In 1971 it was family viewing for me. Although I would sometimes not 'get the joke' as I was only 11 or 12 - I'd just laugh at my Mum and Dad laughing. They were both excellent comedians and masters of innuendo. Both sadly missed.
Same for me. Although I too struggled with jokes as a child, especially things like Yes Minister and Porridge, somehow I KNEW what I was watching was genius.
You’re so right, comedic geniuses. I loved watching them growing up. But there’s another classic sketch for you to check out....it’s the drinks order. I’m sure you’ll find it pretty easy. Love your vids, can’t wait for the next. X
i love your videos Vanessa. I think this a really hard sketch to follow for a non native, referencing brands of bread etc. I am sure for many, this did not make sense . anyway, keep up the videos. you are such a pleasure to watch
If you can, I suggest you watch the Morecambe and Wise sketch with Andre Previn. It's a classic. I say 'if you can', because I've just tried to view it and it seems to be blocked by the BBC. But if you can managed to find it, it's well worth a watch x
Many thanks for a blast from the past Vanessa. Some of your audience will know but for others, Ronnie B used the pseudonym of Gerald Wiley when writing sketches for the BBC, he wanted the production team at the time to accept them on merit rather than because of who he was. When the team sat down to choose which sketches to use he would even criticised ‘his own writing’ - none of the team knew it was his work and chose it on merit alone - such a self-effacing man and such a genius. RIP Ronnie B (the Godfather of British comedy)
Perfect analysis Vanessa, as always a cut above the rest. Wonderful to watch you and hear your comments - has to be one of the best reaction video channels on CZcams. Thank you!
Great stuff, they are legends with good reason. .....and speaking of legends please, please can you do a Sean Lock review as he passed away this week from cancer at only 58. Plenty 'best of' now appearing on you tube A modern legend! RiP Sean ♥️
One of their cleverest sketches. There being more restrictions on what you could say led to people being more clever with innuendo to get around the censors.
@@ghughesarch I think some words from Polari passed into more general use. I remember hearing a clip of Julian and Sandy a few years ago and I could tell it was pretty filthy, but 99% of listeners at the time would have thought it was purely innuendo.
@@trickygoose2 I didn't say he invented it - that was my point, really. But - "Dish" may be a good looking man, but it is also a good-looking arse. There's a fair bit of Polari in 'normal' English slang.
The Mastermind sketch was classic.This was an inocent time in more ways than one.There are some very good modern comedies and if you have not seen "The Thin Blue Line and Porridge they are well worth a look.
I agree with you when you said their comedy was timeless but I don't know if this comedy sketch would be written today as your video made me ask myself "When was the last time I saw anybody using a public phone?" Answer" I can't remember as EVERYBODY used mobile phones( I think you call them cell phones in the states) nowadays.
Hi just two things I wanted to say.... Firstly you are very beautiful and lovely 😍❤ and secondly you should see 'Allo 'Allo!!!! A true British jem from the 80s 😅🤣😂🥰😍😘👏🙌👍
A lot of this is done with very English wordplay and I’m not sure how it translates to an American audience. But they are the cleverest funniest masters of wordplay. If you like them, I recommend Name Droppers and Round of Drinks
Yes, you are correct, they don't make comedies like this anymore. Very funny without the need for cursing and trying to shock the audience. Those comedians are also funny, but The Two Ronnie's and Morecambe and Wise are for a family to sit and watch without being uncomfortable.
Loving your videos and your great sense of humour. I have a suggestion for you. Have you seen Catherine Tate doing Nan ? She is very funny although a little vulgar. Great job on the videos! I look forward to seeing more.
Hi Nice lady VAN have Yu seen one of our very best sit-down comedians DAVE ALLEN.He's top notch.This is not just a personal opinion, but thought so by one & all.Please try D.A. on religion.There are 2 options to choose from, both hilarious.If u watch one you'll want to see the other.All the best

Rewatching on DVD old comedies like The Two Ronnies and Are You Being Served? I now get the dodgy jokes.
Same for me. Although I too struggled with jokes as a child, especially things like Yes Minister and Porridge, somehow I KNEW what I was watching was genius.
The brilliance and subtle genius of this sketch is that it's not the two characters/The Two Ronnies whose lines are crossed but the viewer's(s').
Vanessa, I think you'll love The Two Ronnies: Round of Drinks. Another Ronnie Barker masterpiece!
I agree mate! Brilliant 👍
@@Plentisaki It's my favourite!
@@Duncan_Hart One of my favourites too, along with the Optician's sketch, which I unable to find on CZcams 😠
And the swear box
Absolute genius sketch.

I absolutely love that sketch x
Brilliant sketch. They are just genius.
You should watch the sketch ' i've got a problem with my Apple'.. Brilliant !
Perfect commentary Vanessa, encapsulating their style of humour. Great to see you again. Best wishes 👍

The sketch is available on Vimeo. I would love to see Vanessa's reaction to this too.

STUNNING.

Good stuff Venessa 👍🏻 Leg ..ends
Hey it's not a Tuesday - Happy days!!! Great to see you Vanessa. Have a super weekend xx
Great stuff, they are legends with good reason.
.....and speaking of legends please, please can you do a Sean Lock review as he passed away this week from cancer at only 58.
Plenty 'best of' now appearing on you tube
A modern legend!
RiP Sean ♥️
They do a marching band sketch. Very clever
Vanessa, you are delightful! I love your videos, your sense of humor and your brilliant choice of subject matter. Keep up the great work.
One of their cleverest sketches. There being more restrictions on what you could say led to people being more clever with innuendo to get around the censors.
When Kenneth Williams was on the radio he bypassed the censors by inventing a language that sounded rude but wasn't... technically.
@@righthandofdoom77 He didn't invent it - Polari was gay slang that existed long before he was learning it.
@@ghughesarch I think some words from Polari passed into more general use. I remember hearing a clip of Julian and Sandy a few years ago and I could tell it was pretty filthy, but 99% of listeners at the time would have thought it was purely innuendo.
@@trickygoose2 I didn't say he invented it - that was my point, really.
But - "Dish" may be a good looking man, but it is also a good-looking arse. There's a fair bit of Polari in 'normal' English slang.
Two ronnies pub and wallpaper sketch is great
Only fools and horses, chandelier episode sweetheart 😂😂😂
If you like the 2 Ronnie's, you should give Still Game a try. It's a Scottish sitcom and it's so good. You can catch it on Netflix.
Another timeless comedy is Steptoe and Son, a good episode is 'upstairs downstairs upstairs downstairs' So funny.
They are brilliant. They are legends
Good vid. The writing of the sketch was brilliant. Brilliant review. Thank you the work.
I think you would enjoy the Two Ronnies' Swedish Lesson.
I would recommend their supermarket and racing pigeon sketch.
Vanessa would like to see you react to Dave Allen, think you'd enjoy him. Either teaching the time or religion.
Oh thanks vanessa i love this one
I recommend 'Racing Duck' and 'Crossword'.
The Mastermind sketch was classic.This was an inocent time in more ways than one.There are some very good modern comedies and if you have not seen "The Thin Blue Line and Porridge they are well worth a look.
Best comedy duo of my time.
Two ronnie's misprouniation bit is wonderful. Or the woman's choir. ( not the exact name ) like a musical sketch. Very funny.
"Plumstead Ladies Male Voice Choir" as in Welsh Male Voice Choir and 'Any Location' Ladies Committee
The two Ronnies in the episode , the racing duck , is another brilliant one
Love it when you do reactions like this, the classics are always the best :)
You need to see the Two Ronnies mispronunciation sketch if you really want to see how talented Ronnie Barker really was.
Ronnie Barker was a real word smith!
I agree with you when you said their comedy was timeless but I don't know if this comedy sketch would be written today as your video made me ask myself "When was the last time I saw anybody using a public phone?" Answer" I can't remember as EVERYBODY used mobile phones( I think you call them cell phones in the states) nowadays.
Recommend checking out Minister for Equality and Minister for Cuts! Ronnie B at his best!
The One Ronnie:
I've Got A Problem With My Apple
A classic, couldn’t be written or produced though today. 😆
Check out Jo Koy's " Hula Dance". Keep laughing Vanessa, and keep safe!
I'd recommend The Two Ronnies: The Short & Fat Minstrel Show
I am not sure how much cockney rhyming slang you know, but "butchers" means taking a look (Butchers Hook, Look)
Gotta do some Pete and dud. They were epic. Well before my time but my grandparents told me about them and I love them.
As with almost everything they did, we tended to take them for granted. But the longevity of the show speaks for itself.
You've got to go a long way to beat The Two Ronnies for clever writing.
Would recommend Pointing punting for word play
The Two Ronnies were great.
Hi just two things I wanted to say.... Firstly you are very beautiful and lovely 😍❤ and secondly you should see 'Allo 'Allo!!!! A true British jem from the 80s 😅🤣😂🥰😍😘👏🙌👍
hi vanessa, lovely to see your back, try father ted its also very very funny
One foot in the grave and Blackadder are great.
Ronnie Barker wrote a lot of these sketches under the pen name of Gerald Wiley.
Different kind of thing V, but have a sniff at Tim Vine. Punpunpunpunpun.
You can't get Cox's Orange Pippins in the shops these days for love nor money.
You should watch the phantom raspberry blower of old london town starring the two ronnies & writen by spike milligan
Watch the Two Ronnies finishing each others sentences
A lot of this is done with very English wordplay and I’m not sure how it translates to an American audience. But they are the cleverest funniest masters of wordplay. If you like them, I recommend Name Droppers and Round of Drinks
On the buses and Last of the summer wine.
Please do some reactions to morecambe and wise . Look for ‘The Breakfast’. I think you will love their humour too xx
Good choice 👍
Ronnie Barker, the tall one wrote a lot of them. Have you watched One Foot In The Grave or Blackadder. Love your channel.
I think a lot of the comedy in this sketch comes from the look of confusion on Ronnie Barker's face.
Presumably you like Bucket in Keeping up Appearances but cover up any tattoos!!!
Very nice .. I like it :)
Yes, you are correct, they don't make comedies like this anymore. Very funny without the need for cursing and trying to shock the audience. Those comedians are also funny, but The Two Ronnie's and Morecambe and Wise are for a family to sit and watch without being uncomfortable.
Please do a reaction to my favourite British comedienne Sarah Millican !
I could watch you all day long, give you a fairy liquid night cap anytime 😍😍😀
Loving your videos and your great sense of humour. I have a suggestion for you. Have you seen Catherine Tate doing Nan ? She is very funny although a little vulgar. Great job on the videos! I look forward to seeing more.
I do a bit of Two Ronnies myself
Monty Python the dead Parrot sketch
Wow your beautiful such gorgeous teeth !!
I enjoyed the two ronnies. The worm that turned.
The classics are the best. Recommend one liners with Gary Delaney or Milton Jones (The Apollo.) Thanks Vanessa.
Maybe try the Swedish made simple or the swear box by the two ronnies
check out their caring for the sick sketch
How long would that have taken to rehearse?
Given the recent passing, Sean Lock "Carrot in the Box" would be a good shout. Apologies if it has already been mentioned and I'm spamming.
Try the 2 ronnies racing duck.
Perfect teeth
Vanessa have a look at the Monty python argument sketch, quite old but still very funny.
cannon and ball help me make through the night, and cannon and ball the ballad of molly malone
OXO - cross your heart bra.
Watch Alan Partridge, knowing me knowing you or brass eye. Great teeth and smile by the way.
Is it just me?…or does she has the Nintendo wii background music music in the intro 🤔
You should watch Dave Allen he’s very funny as well
Hi Nice lady VAN have Yu seen one of our very best sit-down comedians DAVE ALLEN.He's top notch.This is not just a personal opinion, but thought so by one & all.Please try D.A. on religion.There are 2 options to choose from, both hilarious.If u watch one you'll want to see the other.All the best
Have you seen every only fools and horses episode?
First
Can you do a tribute to Shaun lock please Venessa
Morecomb and wise with andre previn
Watch black adder in my opinion the best sitcom ever
If you want to see a modern day comedian, check out Sarah Millican.
Just be aware, her performances are very adult.
I love the two Ronnie's but for me ,,,,Dave Allen still sketches but for me better
Whoah since when are supermodels doing reactions?
Gerald? Gerald Wiley.........
Fry and laurie understanding barman
Where are you? ❤️
You should give "Little Britain" a go, great humour and its a little risky/offensive sometimes. great video, thanks for sharing :)
I make you right, we don't make comedy like this anymore.
