@RNTV Got any O's?
Have you reacted to Only Fools and Horses? Many Brits top favourite comedy show. You seem to relate well to British humour, so would probably 'get' all the laughs we loved.
Mr Barker was the best comedy writer around. Genius. And Mr Corbett was the best straight man around. It doesn't get any better.
Hey guys👍the ' four candles sketch was from 1976,the clip at the end was much later and not too long after Ronnie Barker passed away(2005) with Ronnie Corbett passing in 2016. Two legends of safe family comedy that were massive in the UK with Ronnie Barker starring in hit sitcoms open all hours and Porridge and Ronnie C in sorry.
I loved these comics when I was younger. if open all hours is on tv old or new I will watch it was always my favourite.
Four Candles was recorded in 1976, and The Two Ronnies show ended in 1987 (having started in 1971). The part at the end was from a show done in the 2000s call "The 2 Ronnies Sketchbook" where they introduced many of their classic sketches. This was the last of those shows, and what you saw at the end was the very last moment of them on stage together.
The Two Ronnies was the best.RIP🪦
The Two Ronnies were the masters of the language, wordplay and wonderful comedy. Ronnie Barker wrote many of the sketches in this classic show that had families on Saturday nights.
He wrote many of the sketches under a nom do plume (Gerald Wiley) and submitted them to the shows anonymously. This was so he could be sure they were being accepted on their own merit rather than because they were written by a star of the show.
At ronnie corbetts funeral they had four candles on the alter as a tribute to him.
It was a show where the two Ronnies introduced some of their most memorable sketches. They were absolute genius’s. I lived less than a mile from Ronnie Corbett and saw him often. He was a lovely lovely down to earth guy. God bless them.
To be fair; at his height.......🤣🤣
@@martinsmith3354 That’s what he’d probably said 🤣
In the late 80s I saw Ronnie Corbett in the street near Piccadilly Circus . He was a legend.
Their TV series in the 70s and 80s drew huge audiences, and the Christmas Day specials were a staple. I remember hearing our next-door neighbour roaring with laughter every time the Two Ronnies were on TV, even through our common wall. Ronnie Barker was also in a couple of very highly regarded sitcoms, Porridge and Open all Hours. RIP the Two Ronnies.
Look at the two ronnies crossed line or something it’s called where they’re both on a public phone next to each other! Thats a classic
czcams.com/video/N6jWCVO38iA/video.html
Both on our list!
@@RNTV im so glad its on your list its a great sketch cant wait to see your reaction
This sketch was based on a real life story submitted to Ronnie Barker (the large one!) and he wrote it under his pseudonym Gerald Wiley. It's wonderful wordplay. Barker, incidentally, wrote many sketches using that name, sending them in via a third party, and it was some years before he revealed the truth to the other writers of the show. He admitted that he wanted his sketches to be chosen on their own merit and not just because they were written by Ronnie Barker.
As a boy I would be sent to a shop exactly like that they were called Ironmongers and sold everything. I was sent for Paraffin to fill the heater always the Pink brand never the Esso Blue .Orders from Mum .That sketch took me right back there ..
Have a look at the Two Ronnies Swedish lesson, in the Restaurant, Telephone conversation, the racing duck and crossword. There are many more.
Crossword is my favourite of those
All added to our list! Thank you
There is a modernised version later with Ronnie helping a customer sorting out up to date stuff. A man brings in a modern phone and tells Ronnie his strawberry isn't working and off they go with similar comic mix ups. It's great.
As a child in the 70s watching pure silliness of the phantom raspberry blower
He said 'O's, Mon Repose', a name given to a home, meaning my rest (my resting place)
These two were absolute comic geniuses. Ronnie barker was so brilliant with the English language it was unreal.
Love this humor…it’s brilliant! These guys are masters of facial expressions and timing! I really enjoyed this and your reactions to it!❤️
Glad you enjoyed it with us Karen 💚💜
@@RNTV Thanks for this Karen. There are endless, clever sketches from " The Two Ronnies " :)
Ronnie Barker (The Customer and The Presenter, who described the alternative ending) wrote their sketches under the pseudonym "Gerald Wiley" so his work would be judged on merit and not approved, simply, because he wrote it.
Try to watch some of their musical numbers they ended their shows with every week. “The Aldershot Brass Band Ensemble“ being one of the best. Done in one take with words and complicated marching choreography. Love your reactions, by the way, chaps.
Gardening fork, not pitchfork.
Ronnie Barker looked really ill.
RIP.
Definitely check out his 70’s comedy series “Porridge” all about convicts in a prison and the hilarious situations they get themselves into,brilliantly written,perfect timing and funny as all hell.
Thoroughly recommended.
See if you can see the older caracter played by young David Jason who has his own legend status.
They were the masters of wordplay, Ronnie Barker (the big one) wrote most of their clever word sketches and wrote them anonymously so they wouldn't treat him differently from other writers. He was also a10/10 comedy actor in sit-com's, some amazing character parts and each almost unrecognisable from the others.
They said this at the end of every show. They were legends. You would like the crossword one on the train. Also watch (if you have not done so) the Michael McIntyren 'dentist' sketch as it is hilarious.
All added to our list!
One of the greatest UK double acts that weren't mainstream television was Ricky Fulton and Jack Milroy, otherwise known as Francie and Josie in their theatre act. There's a performance of their act at the Pavilion Theatre in Glasgow on CZcams, however it is specifically Scottish humour, but their performances are a comedy masterclass.
When this sketch was recorded electrical appliances in the UK were sold without plugs and we had to fit our own - hence buying 'plugs' was a regular necessity (also had to make sure you got the correct fuse rating, most commonly 13 amp but could be anything from 1 amp upwards to suit the appliance). The law changed in 1992 now requiring plugs to be pre-fitted. Shops just like this used to really exist in the UK.
I wish they still did
They do, there’s one down the road from me. Many a happy hour spent browsing !
The only sketch that comes close to this level of humour from them is Mastermind although it helps to be from the UK to understand all the references.
Back in the day there were such stores.
The great Two Ronnies.... much loved and missed
I do believe that this was the last time together, as, sadly, Ronnie Barker did not live long after this particular show.
The sketch was released on 18 September 1976, Barker died 2005..29 years later
@@shkeen57 i think the reference was to the very end where the two Ronnies explained the ending of the sketch, you can see that Ronnie Barker looked quite ill.
May Favourite is the mastermind sketch answering the question before- but anything by these legends is OK with me - both very sadly missed- they were a British institution.
Ronnie Corbett is magnificent as the narky shopkeeper……inspired brilliance.
I would hunt out Morecambe and wise sketches , "he'll never sell any ice creams going that fast"😊
Both were comedians in their own right as well as a great duo. Ronnie Barker was great in the sitcoms Porridge and Open all Hours. Ronnie Corbet was the shortest commissioned officer 5Ft 1 in the British armed forces being a Pilot Officer in the RAF.
With being American you are going to struggle with the 2 Ronnies accents but back in the day they were 2 of the funniest guys on TV, the 4 candles sketch is very famous in the comedy world it was years before its time, look up the mobile phone sketch I think you will like it or the guy trying to purchase a round of drinks enjoy
You need to watch more of the two ronnies .Great comedy.
hardware stores were like that in the 70s, they had everything.
Both of them are so sorely missed. Ronnie Barker was a master of the straight face.
Ronnie Barker was the best British actor comedian since Chaplin as you will find out as you see more of their classic sketches often written by Barker but unknown by the other writers
Ronnie Corbett, the shop keeper, was brilliant in this sketch but Ronnie Barker was an absolute comedy genius. Keep on enjoying the British humour.
Firstly, congratulations on being 2 of those rare reactors who, actually, kept watching to the very ens and heard the explanation.:)

Such a lovely couple
You two are defo my fav ..think you're both awesome ..gav from england
Thank you so much Gav 💚💜
Ronnie Baker was a genius of word play. Ronnie Corrbett was a great stand up comedian and doing monologues.
I hope you will check out Porridge and Open all hours. BOTH have the great David Jason from Only Fools and horses, can you recognise? Much harder in in Porridge!
It's the timing that so makes this.
When Ronnie Corbett died at his funeral there were 'Four Candles' at his service, I'm sure he was looking down & laughing
This was so good for you to give the artists the stage. And to be able to see tou both enjoying a classic sketch. All the best from Scotland. Rab Subscribed
it was in fact their very last show as Ronnie Barkers (the bigger one) health had not tbeen 100% although they had retired as a comedy duo in 1987 I believe. Both also did comedy series Ronnie Corbett in Sorry and Ronnie B. in Porridge, set in a prison. Their shows were watched by millions and their Christmas show would have an audience of 18 million nearly half the population at the time. At both of their funerals alter boys came in with the coffins carrying 4 candles.
Just in case you were wondering, the sketches were always recorded in front of a live audience, it’s not a laugh track. Yet another ‘wordplay’ skit was: ‘Name Droppers’.
@patriciaburke6639 I've had to look into this topic now that it's brought up so much. Please don't take me the wrong way, but I suggest looking into it as well.
With live audiences, they found that people would laugh at the wrong times. They would use prompters and even plants in the audience to help mitigate these issues. Something else I didn't know about was the invention of The Laff Box.
"The Laff Box, also known as the Audience Response Duplicator, is a machine invented by Charles Douglass that plays pre-recorded laughter on demand. The Laff Box is a typewriter-like device that allows sound engineers to press buttons to produce specific types and sequences of laughter."
It was invented in 1953 and was commonly used going forward for live audience recordings.
Hiya. Most people, however, don't know the full quote is "the customer is always right, in matters of taste." Only meaning, if they want to buy something that doesn't suit them, let them. Great, too, that Jess knows a whisky and soda means a whisky and soda water. I don't know about now, across the pond, but years ago, in the UK, there used to be a soda syphon on the bar so drinkers could add their own to their taste, at no charge. Today, it's in little mixer bottles and charged for. Stay safe. All the best to you.
Oh wow. Thanks for the additional info! Here we have soda machines behind the counter. The soda water is usually free, but you do need someone to get it for you.
My husband, Paul, 77 years old...has a 4 candles T- shirt! What a plonker! 😂🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Comedic geniuses....
Beautiful comedy, no swearing, no cursing just absolute genius. So lovely to see it all over again shared by you lovely people.... ❤
it's the sort of shop that used to exist, general hardware. It's a shame that some of the jokes don't really work these days and also don't work outside the UK. But I remember all their skits with great fondness
I had a similar experience about two weeks ago. Walked into a small Cafe in Battersea and asked for a Cup of Tea. The owner replied; "English Breakfast? " To which I replied "No just a Cup of tea." He repeated: "English Breakfast?" Me hearing his Polish accent answered once again but louder: "No just a Cup of Tea, with milk and one sugar!" The owner said : " Okay, so an English Breakfast" only this time picking up a Packet of Tea : labelled "English Breakfast."
Hello guys have a look at the accountant think you'll will really enjoy. The Ronnies are great
Everyone in America and the UK watch Ronnie Corbett's delivery reactions he sells the sketch- ABSOLUTELY WORLD CLASS.
The very best Scene of the Two Ronnies end of ..Us English still Laugh about it now many years later .Clever writing god bless them both ❤Im watching this now ,But when he climbs that bloody ladder ,Honestly ,i'm p***ing myself Laughing 🤣Thankyou to you both xx 😁👍
It helps to know that British working class people of the time depicted in this sketch would routinely drop their aitches so "handles" woud be rendered as "andles" and "hose" would be rendered as "ose".
I don't think I've ever been to a hardware shop that sells pantyhose and tins of peas but hey 🤷♂️ 😂 love the videos 😌
There is an excellent The Two Ronnies Sketch called The Mispronunciation Sketch, which is hysterically funny.
Bill hooks - bollocks!
every community used to have one of these places
brilliant wordplay and accent play and the classic English stare of disappointment :D
Ronnie Barker was my childhood favourite. I absolutely loved him.
Great comedy from a better time.
The shot of the Two Ronnies at the end was indeed their last appearance together. Sadly Ronnie Barker (on the right) passed away sunddenly not long after. The two had split up several years earlier when Ronnie B announced his retirement and they would not appear again together until this final show which was a retrospective compilation of their most famous comedy sketches together. Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett (both now deceased) were comedy gold together, and their legend lives on and will live on ;long after anyone who loved their shows will also have passed on.
I love The Two Ronnies, but personally prefer their sketches “Crossed Lines” and “Mastermind”. Would love to see reactions to those or some Micky Flanagan, but either way, your comedy reactions are a delight
you should react to, the tow ronnies racing pigeon, that is super funny, short sketch like you watched, these two guys were legends
You wouldn't say Super funny, you it so funny or very funny, or hilarious.
You wouldn't say that Super funny, you it's so funny, or it's very funny or it's hilarious.
Bartender comment! You need to check out Two Ronnies “Round of drinks” at that rate!
That was our first taste. It's up on the channel now friend
You guys are great, such fun to watch. This whole sketch revolves around the fact that a lot of Londoners don't pronounce the letter H when it is at the start of words. Hence 'handles' becomes 'andles as in four c(andles) and so on. The customer ( Ronnie Barker ) is putting on a 'cockney' accent, but as he is not a Londoner, some might call it a mockney accent.
Every time I see someone reacting to The Two Ronnies I have the same request..."By the seaside" by them it's about 50 minutes long but fabulous. Please do a reaction to it😊I reckon you’ll both love it and their creativity. Cheers Adam from Tasmania (Island state of Australia)
you guys are great i love your theme tune
There did used to be actual general stores just like this in nearly every town here in the UK.
Sadly these have mostly been put out of business by the chain supermarkets etc.
You need to find the Two Ronnies 'Racing Duck' sketch. No, Soda water is a specific thing to add to whisky, & comes in a syphon with a level squirt tap. This was long before your Coca Cola, Pepsi, Sprite even existed etc. These are NOT soda, in the UK we would term them as 'carbonated drinks' maybe, but ask for the specific one when buying. If we asked for Soda, we would get soda water from a bottle or syphon. If we asked for coke we would get Pepsi or Coke, or another Cola. We would not expect 'Sprite' unless we asked for sprite, etc.
Comedy genius,🌹🇬🇧🌹
Yeah, sadly this was the last time they were on together as by this time Ronnie B (the bigger of the two) was already very ill. In fact in a documentary later Ronnie C said that they were very lucky to get through the full series. Ronnie B died not long after but not sure how long.
Got to be one of the funniest sketches ever
You guys gotta check out the two Ronnie's drunken wedding speech it's another funny one
Added to our list!
If you know the innuendo with billhooks then it is funny , some words in England are different in America such as pumps , here they are gym shoes they are known differently in the States .
Try Jim Davidson ..Sinderella a british pantomine ..
the end, bill hooks, is a play on words, for a mild british swear word, it means (boll....ocks) put the 2 words together, was keeping it clean for you
The 2 Ronnies sweet shop sketch. Ronnie B plays the greedy shopkeeper. Ronnie C plays rich shiek with the shopping list. I like this one more than 4 candles. Another genius routine that plays on words.
I like the time that Ronnie Corbett appeared in a charity music video with Peter Kay. Peter was miming to "Amarillo" by Tony Christie and lots of British TV stars appeared in the video.
Ronnie corbett was an officer in the royal air force
Not forgetting Morecambe and Wise
As someone who has worked retail for over 20 years, there has been so many times I've felt like Ronnie Corbett. You just look at the customer like 'seriously!' 😂
The eternal joy of this is that writer Ronnie Barker (our annoying customer - and a delightful man by all accounts) lends absolute precedence to comedian partner Ronnie Corbett in this sketch. It's still considered one of the greatest British comedy moments.
Next there are two sketches you will like. Both from a number one voted comedy show off all time.
Only fools and horses.
The chandelier sketch
And
Del falls through the bar sketch.
Enjoy
You must do the embarrassing chemist in South Africa PLEASE.🇬🇧
That was the 2 Ronnie's "Dead Parrot Sketch" classic
Ronnie Barker wrote most of their sketches but was also an accomplished comedy actor.
He played Norman Stanley Fletcher in Porrige set in a prison. Fletcher was a habitual criminal and shared a cell with a young first time offender (Lennie Godber) played by Richard Beckinsale (father of Kate Beckinsale).
He also played a Yorkshire Shopkeeper called Arkwright with David Jason (Del Boy in Only Fools and Horses).
If you really want a laugh do a reaction to "Only Fools and Horses Chandelier"😅
If you haven't already please check out Two Ronnies sketches~Crossed lines, The Plumstead ladies male voice choir, mispronunciation and mastermind, Morecambe and Wise also do a funny mastermind sketch. Love your video's.
Glad to hear it friend. All added to our list!
Two ronnies ran from 1971 to 1987 ronnie died 2005ish.cobbett a few years later.
May like the comfy open all hours
Ronnie corbett and Harry Enfield did a modern take on this sketch that you might want to checkout.
Recommendation: "Norman Gunston interviews Sally Struthers" this is an hilarious real life interview where the Garry McDonald (an Australian actor in character as Norman Gunston) interview the American actress Sally Struthers. Sally has no idea what she is in for.
When Ronnie Corbett died (the guy behind the counter); the four altar boys came in together, each lad carrying a candle. (Rather fitting)
That was Ronnie Barker
Bill hooks / Ballocks
Bollocks
Bill Hooks / Pillocks
You got to watch Lee Evan's colonoscopy, high energy comedy from one of England finest.
Bit weird wanting to watch someone have a colonoscopy😂
@@booradley8895 it's a standup comedy sketch, really funny!
The 2Ronnies constantly worked at the English language
this is a classic two Ronnies sketch, which is almost equaled by their Ministry if S ual (gender) Equality which was decades before it's time (you will understand if you react to it).,
Edit: Regarding the phrase "The Customer is always right" that is a misquote of the full quote "The Customer is always right in matters of TASTE & STYLE"
Based on a shop in the seaside town ,of broadstairs two brother dressed exactly like this. Shop stillbther3
