What do you do when a customer walks into your shop and asks for 'cack' or for 'parri' -- or indeed for a 'pee'? A (very wealthy) Arab walks into the Mini Market. His wife has armed him with a shopping list (and asked him to run an errand for her later). But communication can be a problem as pronunciation is not that particular customer's forte... (Fortunately for the shop owner, his wife is there to help him. Despite his condescending attitude towards her, it seems she is twice as clever as he is...) Level: C1 -- C2. Topic: Shopping, Pronunciation. Taken from the BBC TV Series 'The Two Ronnies'.

For those that have disliked this video - get a sense of humour! It’s not racist, it is from a time when you didn’t live in fear of offending each other!
That would be an ecumenical matter...
I’m Arab guy and I love this video I see it all the time cuz it makes me laugh so hard
Love watching the two, and have done so for forty years.
it is not about that, i dont say english in indain way plus this is wayyy fucked up dress. idk where he got it but we do not dress like that
@@_A-qg5vf oh come on don't be so sensitive, us English have the piss taken out of us too and very little is accurate but we just laugh along with it.
This sketch is not about race, but about the idiosyncrasies of the English language, which has borrowed words from all over the world. Ronnie Barker was a clever man.
I thought it was just because having someone who doesn't speak a language properly can lead to funniness.
@@dianehall5063 actually 'properly' is an illusion. Even native English speakers sound funny to non-native speakers or other native speakers. The word data is pronounced very differently in three different native English-speaking countries. In the US, it is pronounced day-da or da-da (with da pronounced similar to the da in dam and the t sounding like a d). In the UK it is pronounced day-ta. In Australia, it is daa-ta or daa-da.
Ronnie barker wasn’t a clever man a he was an absolute genius 👌
For a latin language native is soooo difficult 😬😬😬
I'd highly recommend a terrific 👌 book by Bill Bryson. It's called:
The Mother Tongue-- English and How it Got That Way. CZcams has it...all 10 hours + 45 minutes
☆ I've even put it on as I go to sleep--- very insightful.
Absolutely priceless we were allowed to laugh once upon a time. Nobody took offence we all laughed together.
I am a native English speaker & have lived in 4 different countries. When trying to speak German some shop assistants stand there with an angry face & say "WHAT!" as if I am from outer space. When trying to speak Greek I am met with smiles as they appreciate I am trying. Also the level of English spoken by Greeks is high.
German and French are the most thankless languages to learn.
As a German who teaches English I'm sorry to hear that.
We all know Germans have full sense of German's humor😅
No offence to them but shop assistants are not always the friendliest to customers, unlikely their dream job, and not the best in foreign languages. (but I know in big cities you have to be able to communicate at least in English and sometimes French, Spanish... if it's quite touristic.)
@@Dr.K.Wette_BE When I first arrived in Athens I worked in the port of Piraeus & spoke Spanish to the local shopkeepers as it turns out due to the shipping a lot of people had a Spanish speaking parent. My shoe mender was telling me his father was on the ships & his mother was from Venezuela. I was getting my new apartment ready & the shop selling kitchen ware etc. had a man behind the counter who could speak Spanish too. So I would try Spanish, English & my little bit of Greek. In Israel I learned to count in just 5 days & would point to things & say the price so they knew what I wanted. I also bought a pair of shoes speaking in German, I was astounded they admitted to speaking German. I do try my best at my basic European languages rather than just expect people to speak English. but am saddened at peoples' rudeness even though as you say they might not be doing their dream job. I have an understanding of French from school & would certainly try that if I were ever in France.
I'm an Arab and I have lived in the UK for quite some time.. When people in the UK communicate with non English speakers I must give it to them they are the best listeners, they have tolerance and respect the person in front of them and try to help him even if he is struggles to speak English, and I respect that very much in them.
samQu8y agreed
samQu8y three hundred pounds...thanks for listening....
lol money talks!
Eldrick Lal Might be some Arabs can't say all. Remember the majority get hard time living and 0 education but deep down they have good heart.
That's true. And I have found that Arabs are also kind and respectful to strangers in the places I have visited in the Middle East.
This is top level old school British humour.

The 2 ronnies were such an amazing comedic duo, will always be loved for bringing a smile to anyone lucky enough to watch =)
Wordplay was their favourite shtick and a significant element of British comedy. It’s about leading the audience through absurdity to the punchline. Not a bad bone in their bodies these chaps 👍🏼
100%✓❤️🙏🏽
This sketch shows that we only know how to pronounce English words because we heard it before. There are no rules like in other language. Compared to English, French is almost maths: you can almost make formulas to get the right pronunciation. Try that with English….
@@rw80 I was always taught in english grammar, to every rule there is an exception.
😉😂😅🤣🤣🤣
I TOTALLY agree! What has HAPPENED to comedy,these days?! It used to be SO much FUN. The wokes are trying to destroy EVERYTHING. They are just SO hate filled and miserable.It's so sad. BUT .Us people with a sense of humour are SO much stronger than them.
Man i lived in UK for 9 years. Its heart warming to see the shop keepers tolerance. Because my english was weak and this happend many times for me. British people in my opinion are the most tolerant with people of faith/other nationalties.
The 300 pounds help too
Awww....that's good to hear! 🙂
We're a diverse culture and welcoming most of us at least
@@supremefandom6970 Except to Australians 😃
🙏AMEN
I'm a native Arabic speaker and I find that very funny. I still remember my friend who used to call pictures.. Picityours 😂
Stems from our languages. Like in the East of India 'v' is pronounced like 'bh' so very would be bhery, or cleavage would be cleabhage. In the South they say things like Yeverybody's wearing ellow 😂. Or some people pronounce veggie as wedgie as there isn't a 'v' and a 'w' in Indian languages.
Ok lol
Would you say that's accurate Arabic accent for speaking English though?
@@SupremeSkeptic absolutely not 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@SupremeSkeptic I used to say clothes clothees
Its so sad that these two comedy crackups are not here anymore,they were soooooo clever and so funny they were such geniuses
So totally agree with you 👍 💯
Totally agree.
I have split my sides laughing at this!! I have to watch it again. How clever! To actually create a sketch showing how the English language is difficult to navigate given it has borrowed from other languages, and demonstrating how it is not at easy as it seems where pronunciation is concerned.
Glad you liked it Panagiota. 😄 You may like some more clips with the same guys: 'Comedy for ELT - Small Talk', 'Comedy for ELT - Rumours', 'Comedy for ELT - Synonyms', 'Comedy for ELT - Birthday Rhymes', 'Comedy for ELT - A Sense of Rhythm', 'Comedy for ELT - The Bather' etc. etc.... 😁

I worked as an EFL teacher in recent years, mainly with students from Saudi Arabia. They were good at jokes and making me laugh. Such lovely fun-loving people. I remember when one class ground to a halt as it started snowing and they all went to the window to watch it, before asking me if they could go down to the street to play in it!
Lovely people the Saudis; I spent 26 years among them and each one was nicer that the others. A great country with great people. And the shawarmas the best ever.

As an African, l've endelessly watched this brilliant out-of-the-world comedy. It is on a different planet.
I miss these two. Their talents with word play was phenomenal
What tv series is this?? I wanna watch please 😊
@@shinysinhade the two ronnies, mega famous in the uk
Yes me too. "Fork handles" any one?🤣
Agreed. Les Dawson was another one good with words. The only comedian of today who can compare is Tim Vine.
Totally agree. Barker was a comedy writing genius and Corbett was the perfect foil.
The Two Ronnies are brilliant as always. This is up there with the “Four Candles” sketch 🤣🤣
I remember watching this sketch almost 40 years ago when we lived in the UK. Until this day our family still pronounces cinnamon as China man.
That was one I couldn't get. Thanks.
This is all hilarious. Didn't get "peas" either. "Marmalade" only later.
Thanks.
@@e.r.4077 Prolly they are referring to 'Pie'
but i did not get the name of the Pie product....something "Bill and ump' pie??
May be some brit can clarify??
Veal and ham pie. Had to look that one up
@@lieschenmuller243 an Arab would never have veal and ham pie! 😂😂😂
Yep, same here. 40 year's ago.
I'm here now, after just laughing on my own, about this sketch. I had to remind myself again, how funny this was back then. Just as funny today! 🤭🤭🤣🤣
Just seeing Ronnie Corbett walk into the shop in arab garb is a delight !
The sketch isn't about the Arab being an Arab, but about the English language.
It's not always immediately obvious where the stresses are, or how the vowels are pronounced, silent letters etc.
as an american living in UK, it's also about the vast plethora of just dialects of British English!

I have watched it over a dozen times and laughed more and more.
I have forwarded it literally to hundreds of people here in Jeddah and they all cracked at the humour.
I love their humor... it was better in the good ol' days.
Just amazing English comedy. Nobody did it better than them.
you would hope no-one does English humour better than two Poms.
British manners, metaphors and the way they turn any talk is amazing, just like a 1970s radio commentary of a test match, great usage
I remember this sketch. Brilliant. Couldn't make it now without someone getting upset.
I am not sure I can send this to some of my 'born after 2000, and totally politically correct" friends. They are loosing the point of the dialogue. Just 'suck it up' P. C. people
Old school comedy, love it. People are making money and careers from being “offended”.
Still funny now, timeless both of them and I do miss this humour and them not being on the TV.
I’ve watched this at least 50 times and it always makes me laugh
Already watched it 5 times. Here's to 45 more at least ahah
this is totally hilarious. his pronunciations are incredible - i finally started to understand him. he was very good - not a parody on a person, just trouble with accents and reading English words, which sometimes make no sense whatsoever! 😋🌷🌱
i think Arabic pronounces each letter the same, just like Hebrew.
His accent sounds nothing like Arabic. More like Indian or Pakistani.
@@thesuperiorman8342 ههههههههههه 😂😂😂

What is funny is I lived in the Middle East for 3 years back in the ‘70’s and i went through the same think trying to speak their language. Everyone was SO helpful and I am sure they had a good laugh at me trying to pronounce their words.
Good on you! Arab languages and Hebrew are utterly beyond me! 🙈😆
Hilarious 😂😂 This is what I call proper comedy .
Can't get enough of this. Superb acting, plot and humour. Me, being a non native speaker, would have been in the Arab's clothes for quite a few of those items I believe.
I love the British humour. The best part was, Juiyish for Juice, gets corrected as 'She looks a little bit Jewish, but she is not Jewish 🤣🤣🤣
"I am going to take Brass ear, My wife has got enormous tights" 💀
Hilarious! Reminds me of the series "Mind Your Language"
I love that Show
Haha
Por favor
Chad Quick
A thousand apologies
Actually Mind Your Language brought me here
Loved it. Got better as it went on. I'm northern and I love it when sketches take the piss out of the regions and accents. Far too many people lack humour these days based on the thumbs down for this sketch. Miserable sods.
Life isn't the same anymore as wokeism has permeated too much into our lives

“Mamalade?”
“Yes he’ll cure you’re malady for you” 😂
I am arab and this scene has never made me fail to laugh out loud 🤣🤣🤣.
The shopkeeper is very good at decrypting the actual message.
We watched this video in our English class and we could split our sides with laughing. It´s also motivation for us to improve our own pronunciation. Jacob said that he had never seen a funnier video that this.
who the F*ck is "Jacob"?
Who's Jacob ?!😳😂
@@rjhomsobaid2117 Jacob was one of the pupils in the class. He liked the video very much (like all kids in the class).
The skit about the 'four candles' is definitely worth a watch.
Did Nikolai go to the toilet during the video?
Two of the very best. National treasures.
Love the Two Ronnies. The days when u could make a joke without people taking offence.
Great Comedy 😀👍
I remember this clip vividly from the 70s! Very funny Tamtoo Puree & c of e! Have not seen this till today about 40 years later!😂
THE BLACKED OUT EWOKS it’s been modified slightly I’m sure he said “ the cheek of Arabie” and “ here you are it’s even got your friend on the tin “, pc has ruined humour
Two of the finest comedy legends 😂
Utterly brilliant
Just wished they make them nowdays !
I'm an Arab & I find this funny 😂😂
So the grocery list was:
Chocolate Mousse; tomato puree; bicarbonate of soda; apricot juice ("jewish") Cinnamon (Chinaman) tin of tongue; Veal and Ham pie; coffee (c of ee "church of england") marmalade for toast; chocolate "kack"cake!! Hilarious!
It was indeed. Glad you liked it! :-) By the way, with most of the clips on my channel, you can click on a link in the description and get the full script (this is primarily meant for learners and teachers, you see).
UP!!!!!!
Surprised he'd buy veal and ham pie!
Anglicized Arab! 😁
Raja Bhat Hardly ever seen since..
I’m arab and I speak english with an arabic accent but this man actually sounds indian 😂
I thought the same thing.. Extremely indian
As an Indian, he sounds nothing like us 😂🤣
Perhaps you meant apu from Simpson/ "white Hollywood actor trying to sound Indian" voice
@@baijayantasenchowdhury9806 sorry but he sounds realy indian,i dont understand how you can not recognize your own accent
While it was somewhat difficult but sounded really soothing compared to an average indian accent that really hard hits one's ears and brain!
Indian muslims also pretends that they are more muslims than Arabs themselves.
I understood every word. As my Uncle Aristotle used to say, “ when money talks everyone listens” - everyone except for old Uncle Ari, that is...he was an insubordinate...Requiescat In Pace.

Ah ,the dying breed of English shopkeepers.

Lol all bossmans are Asian now
RAFIQ RESTEM not in expensive areas they are not
It is making fun of English language idiosycrocies, not the people. Word play has always been a part of the Two Ronnies' repertoire.
Would anyone like four candles???
True that. That's why non-native speakers usually pronounce English words just like they are spelt. Since that's how it works in their mother tongue. For example, in India premise is pronounced as premise (rhyming with demise) not prem iss.
It’s not making fun of people? So why did he say “oh dear” as soon as the Arab guy walk into the store? Why did the shopkeeper call him “Ali baba” when that’s not even his name?
Yes 👍
@@east_londonlad8988 oh let's give it a rest. We got enough going on in world..why did u watch it then ?
😂😂. Nothing beats British humour 🙌
Certainly not Australian.
This is absolutely hilarious.
That’s f***ing CLASS! Piss myself laughin, even though I’ve seen it many times! These guys were the best!
These two comedy icons were just beyond words. I know many people who don't even know their name and just know them by the two Ronnies.
04:32 When the Arab was reading off the list he accidentally said “mousse” correctly😄
0% toxic
0% racism
0%sexism
0% violence
Just two guys making pure comedy gold

Lol the kind of comedy you can't get away with now adays. AWESOME!!!!!!!!
Glad you liked it... As I have said on a number of occasions, it would be a pity to do away with all the wonderful fairy tales of the past just because they (naturally) reflect the values, biases and stereotypes of another era. I think it is exactly the same with comedy. :-)
@Paul Crawford, actually you can if you're Catherine Tate. :) czcams.com/video/XY66ZJ0TFUI/video.html
Nick Michelioudakis is the series still running?
Society today is full of ASSHOLES, everything you say is politically incorrect or wrong, but you can bet your life these ASSHOLES also have double standards.
Bring back these great old shows!
You can still get away with this kind of comedy. You just have to lose the "arab" outfit and facepaint.
"Sod her!" (Soda)
"Yeah, that what I say."
Arab: Bicker Bonnet of Sod her.
Wife: Bicarbonated Soda.
Husband: They have their uses.
I thought he said sour dough
Can see why "Mind Your Language" sometimes leads one down a rabbit hole of British comedy from back in the day, no wonder I choked from laughing too hard 🤣
Never get tired of watching these two, especially this..!!!
I am Arab and i was laugh a lot, its so funny 😂
This is what I call classic,brilliant
This is indeed comedy at its best. No cuss words, no insults. Just pure comedy.
Never seen this before. Top drawer, old school british comedy.
This my friends is when our country had a sense of humour!
Reema Ameer I think you need to get off the ale old lad.
Reema Ameer well I think you’ve completely overreacted and completely misinterpreted my original comment plus the big question is would you call me all that to my face instead of behind your computer or phone??? Nah I don’t think you would cos I’d knock your fucking head off.
Nicholas Haslam yep
Reema Ameer What the hell is wrong with you? You blew everything out of proportion and you didn't even apologize for your idiocy? You are infinite shades of narrow mindedness and stupidity.
Now go on call me.names.
Yaa , Good Old Days
I just can't get bored of the Two Ronnies.
As foreign i testify that the classic British comedy is one of the best class entertainment thats can never be alternate with today modern comedy 🎭
I totally agree with you Ahzid. 😊
Haven't laughed this hard in years! 😂
To be honest, the accent is more Indian than Arabic. We from the Indian subcontinent are the undisputed CHAMPIONS of making English sound like Gibberish!
Gosh! What's with all these negative comments and taking things personally?! That's the wrong mindset with which to watch a comedy sketch. Get a sense of humour people!
Couldn't agree more... :-)
im arab and i don't find the sketch offensive at all its actually funny lol
Ahmed Alshammeri good, Im sure its not their intention to cause offence. ✌️
Good on you mate. It could have been any ethnicity, even an English person, for a pronunciation sketch. And to say you're not offended at all in this PC day and age means a lot. Live long.
four candles is all i can say
Thank goodness for those who can accept it’s just for fun which is not intended to be at anyone’s expense!😄👍
Ahmed Alshammeri it's funny and I enjoyed it. The harm is not the jokes themselves but what might fallow. They could be a pretext for something to fallow. This was done many years ago and you know what followed like gulf wars, "the war on terror" if Muslims/Arabs are talked about like this also killing them and invading them is also acceptable like what happened since 1991. Now it's not acceptable because Americans and Europeans had killed many Muslims and Arabs so they don't want to kill any more or at least they are thinking not to kill any more so now they have to watch out what they say and the way they talk about them. What I'm saying is words lead to actions. They tell what will fallow. You should find this type of jokes offensive because of the actions they will invite or when you get killed from left to right you'll wonder where all that was coming from. That's why Jews don't tolerate any type of demonization even if it might look innocent they're more smarter than you and can predict the future by being aware.
Kudos to the shop owner who witnessed the destruction of the english language yet he stood like a gentlman in fron of those 300 pounds ,haha
Why can't we all just sit back, relax and enjoy the brilliant writing and performing skills of Ronnie B and Ronnie C, instead of either claiming racism or trying to score points off others?
I come from an Arabic background and i find this hilarious.People need to chill out a bit and stop taking everything personally.
The reason this is hilarious: because this happens in real life! I'm from the north of England and people in the south struggle to understand me sometimes, so for people with English as a second language this must happen all the time Haha.
And it isn't racist. It's cultures laughing at each other in a respectful way. I bet white people are mocked in other cultures for comedy value.
Laugh at our differences, life is shit, and we only have humour to keep us going.
Exactly! 👍😅

As a multiple culture country shop assistant like this comedy soo much.
To the head from that school who had a bit of bother over this - i hope you realise, the vast vast majority find it hilarious and really dont care, that includes those from the mid east. there are always a few who dont get it. thats not your problem and it shouldnt be front page news !! as a head, you should make a stand. you'd gain alot of respect , especially from the community who this clip jokes about. even they feel bad that people think they feel bad about it when they certainly dont... its so annoying having to spell it out.
My family consider this one of their best sketches, pure genius. We grew up tolerant and yet today's snowflakes are brainless, aggressive and attention seeking failures who lack the intellectual capacity to tell the difference from harmless hysterical satire like this and real rudeness and repression.
Absolutely pathetic those that complained about this sketch sick to bloody death of these offend at everything brigade time people stood up to them and told them to sod off and get a bloody life
Hear, hear!! :-) Couldn't agree with you more...

I love this! I can’t stop laughing when he went down the list at the end to sum it up and check that he’s got everything!!!! Lollll my sides are hurting! I think British comedy is the best!!!
Reminds me of arriving in an English country first time. Wanted a new double bed, ledikant, Dutch word for it. The man turned bright red as we always tried Dutch first and tried to get the English word for it. Still remember it vividly!
This is so clever the way it takes the michael out of the English language it is timeless, I love the two ronnies at Christmas on yesterday or similar channel, its what makes Christmas for me
It's when he says "cack" kills me every time 🤣
I love this video! Hilarious..certainly not affensive! Yes..Ronnie B was a comedy genius..
Fantastic comedy and fantastic English sense of humour.
Hahaha! This is sort of scenario reminds me of myself in some ways.
I'm Aussie so our English is pretty well butchered anyway. But I'll always welcome people of all countries/ethnicities if they need help out in public and or are struggling to learn English. I like to learn the sounds so I can understand different accents as it intrigues me how it has evolved over time, a bonus is you get to meet someone new and hear their story even if you stand there for ages you get a glimpse as to what life is like where they're from.
Having two kids myself that had to go through speech therapy, which 90% of it was at home, I had learn to understand what they're saying and then correct them by slowly pronouncing the word and getting them to repeat it. It takes quiet a few years and the patience of a saint, more so for the kids. Bc It's usually them that gets frustrated not me as I'm always saying pardon? Pardon? To try and work out some of the words and it makes me feel bad bc they get angry and frustrated not at you but themselves bc they wish they could speak properly the poor little buggers.
The Australian accent is quite unique and not many are familar with it if you grew up outside of Australia. The two variants of English that are usually the norm are either American or British. I remember coming to Australia as a Master's student and stuggling to understand what 'Oy D' was (apparently ID) and that I didn't come here 'to die' (today) 😆.
You all might have benefitted greatly from a 'phonics phone' (my hubby made ours from PVC pipe, they can now be bought online etc) and also sign language. We've walked a few steps in your shoes, hope all is going well now xx

Reminds me of when I first came to London to work and I tried to describe a flower to a colleague. I kept saying … ‘no, but it is facksia, don’t you know the colour facksia? and I could not understand why everyone was laughing and asking me to repeat my statement over again. In the end I learnt the correct pronunciation for fuchsia. It was very funny 😄 😅😂😂😂

I couldn’t stop laughing. I was literally pissing myself laughing aloud. This is hilarious. These guys were geniuses to come up with this stuff. Comedy nowadays is unintelligent untalented unfunny rubbish. This is comedy gold.
