    I put Ronnie Barker at the top of the pile... Not only was he an amazing actor in Porridge and Open All Hours, with exceptional comedic timing, but his writing and delivery for these sketches were sublime!... My only disappointment, is that he didn't do more comedic acting as there's very few shows to enjoy but those that are available are absolute gems!

  • @ENX-React
    @ENX-React Před 21 dnem +12

    The sketch at the end: two blokes live in the same street, identical houses, bloke on the right recently decorated his living room and told the bloke on the left that he'd bought 8 rolls of wallpaper to do the job. Bloke on the left assumed, when he came to decorate his living room of the same dimensions, that he would also need 8 rolls of wallpaper. Turns out it only required 6 rolls, but the bloke on the right didn't think to mention that he had two left over when he was done. So, "by coincidence", they both had the same amount left over.
    They're depicted as local farmer types and so are likely to be perceived as a bit slow/unintelligent, especially the guy on the right who didn't twig that the reason they both had 2 rolls of paper left is because he didn't explain that to his friend, despite the number of rolls he needed being the relevant information, rather than how many he bought.

    • @coldwhite4240
      @coldwhite4240 Před 20 dny +2

      Yes, many of the Irish (especially of the old school) would play up to the joke by coming out with such phrases. There's a common Irish expression in some parts when you're expecting someone you know to enter a room and you hear someone come in, where an Irishman would call out: "Is that yourself?" It's one of those expressions where you know what they mean, but taken literally it does sound stupid! In our family, if one of us were coming in and heard that we'd sometimes jokingly respond with deadpan replies like "No, it's two other fellas" just to be silly, and I'm sure there are other families of Irish descent who make similar jokes!

    There was one where Ronnie Corbett was in the opticians but the examiner and him got their glasses mixed up and neither of them could see properly. To make his way around the room, the examiner Ronnie B, went on all fours following a white line on the floor and Ronnie C said “Have you got a dog in here?”. It’s one of my favourites along with the one about the Argentinian racing pigeon which was actually a duck.

Mot of Monty Python, Spike Milligan, John Sullivan (Only Fools and Horses), Barry Cryer (much under-appreciated comedy genius for over 7 decades) all wrote from the Two Ronnies.

    I first saw this sketch on TV as a kid and loved it despite (or maybe because of) being half-Irish, but then I didn't see this repeated for many years later until the arrival of the internet, when I finally rediscovered it. It's playing on the whole "Irish people are stupid" stereotype which used to be very common, but it's done in such an imaginative and quick-fire way that it's still just brilliant. (Spike Milligan played on that a lot too, but being of Irish stock himself he could also get away with it!)
    I remembered the whole "Lord knows..." part of this sketch, but couldn't recall the banter in between and was going almost crazy thinking I'd imagined the whole thing, since noone remembered this sketch!
    Now I can see it anytime on the interwebs, and I love to see it over and over whenever someone reacts to it. Fantastic to see you both watch this, and finding it as hilarious as I did! 🤣

    This is from a time when there was a lot of racism against the Irish, in the UK. Like your Polish jokes, every joke was about the Irish being really stupid. The comedians who told Irish jokes disappeared in the early 1980s. The Two Ronnies ended their show, when young, more modern comedians started to take the piss out them and they took it personally.
