Congratulations!
You're the first Americans I've seen react to this legendary sketch and get it straight away without it having to be explained👍👍
If you go in to a shop in the UK to buy candles and they ask how many, someone will shout "Four!"
True that! 🕯🕯🕯🕯🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm not sure they got the "Bill hooks" at the end! Their faces looked puzzled. It was meant to be "bollocks", which as Brits, we all understand, but I don't think they did.
Plenty of Americans have reacted to and understood this.
@@thegroovetube3247 yes, but they were the first that I've seen.
That's because they've seen it before ages ago divvy
You should have let it run on at the end Ronnie Barker explained a different ending he came up with for it
Yep 👍
You're right, just a shame they didn't play it to the end.
Thirded.
Fourthded or is that Forthded?
@@baylessnow fourthed is the term
Two national treasures right there. Both have sadly passed now. But they were so funny. And they will be missed. 🇬🇧💙🇬🇧💙🇬🇧
Legends 💙
Aye. Don't make them like they used to. It's all too PC these days. Fear of offending the accents of people.
@@liamb8379the two ronnies are in bbc iPlayer so your comment about being too pc today is false. It’s always middle aged men whining
As a Brit I consider myself lucky we grew up with this calibre of humour. So pleased you guys like/appreciate it 👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
The bit you skipped was important. Ronnie talks about how he wasn't happy with how the skit ended and should've had an attractive busty woman come out to take over and ask him what sort of knockers does he want.
You can't mention Ronnie Barker with out thinking of his hit comedy set in prison called porridge. Some of the funniest ever British sitcom
Great show
Open All Hours. Another classic.
Born Freeeeeeee 'till somebody caught meeeeeeeee 🤣
And some touching drama amid the laughter, remember my dad telling me that prison isn't that much fun! It's not.
Yes! Porridge!
Ronnie Barker was THE master of wordplay. He is sorely missed.
You should have kept watching! You'd have heard Ronnie Barker explaining a better ending he thought of later.
This sketch is legendary in the UK having been consistently voted one of the funniest comedy sketches of all time even though it's now decades old!
Yes the 2 Ronnie's was a long running prime time show that ran for over a decade with sketches in each.
Ronnie Barker (the larger guy) also wrote and starred in a couple of long running series - porridge and open all hours. Worth adding to your long list!
Actually Ronnie didn't write Porridge and Open All Hours but he did write the 2 sitcoms The Magnificent Evans and Clarence and also many of the Two Ronnies sketches including Four Candles.
I don't think it will ever be dethroned from Number One. Comedy is dead now except for stand up like Ricky Gervais and Dave Chappelle.
You guys are honorary Brits at this point 🇬🇧 the beers are on me if you ever visit 🍻
Ay thee wanna get thee sens ovver
Ronnie Barker, played the person with the shopping list, and he wrote this sketch and many of their sketches with clever word play, but he submitted them under a pen name for many many years, so they were judged on by funny they were not cos he wrote them. The two Ronnies were huge. the put upon shop keeper was the late Ronnie Corbett and the sketch was such an iconic piece of British comedy, he really did have 4 candles on his coffin.
This is my all time favourite Two Ronnie's sketch. Others are F.U.N.E.X and their innuendo laced songs.
I was fortunate to be brought up in the 60's and 70's on the comedy of the era, by all the other greats too, like Morecombe and Wise, Frankie Howard, Steptoe and Son, the Carry On films, Harry Worth, Lesley Crowther, Jasper Carrott, Benny Hill, Fawlty Towers and Monty Python.
Ronnie Barker (the customer in the sketch) was really big on words and language he was brilliant at spoonerism He actually wrote this sketch 👍🏻👍🏻
The two Ronnie's are a all time British favourites they go back to when your dad's were kids . True entertainment
It’s timeless. Still funny, despite being older than I am and about the 1000th time watching it.
classic - the 2 Ronnies are mainly sketches, so very easy for you to do one off sketches and not go down a series rabbit hole
I love the way the skit sets it up after the "O's", with the quick cut to Ronnie Barker looking at Corbett, as he climbs the ladder and puts the box back. It's that subtle way of involving the audience who think their ahead of he game; and then pulling the rug out from underneath with PEAS. So simply yet beautifully done.
Their sketch "mastermind" is a work of genius. Might go a bit over your head though.
Hahahahahaaaaa,nice one.
Didnt they do 2 of them?
I personally think that it's their best ... But it hasn't aged all that well.
"Who is the Archbishop of Canterbury?"
A completely different answer now!
I’ve watched this skit time and time again and have the same reaction as you two boys are having seeing this for the first time.
The two Ronnie were masters of their craft and are sadly missed.
The big guy is Ronnie Barker. A U.K. comedy genius. 👍🏽
Perfect reaction to classic 70's British comedy - you two got it right out the box. I've seen so many Americans sit there with blank faces watching that.
The Two Ronnies was "must watch" family entertainment - and I mean ALL the family would sit down to watch the show.
The same can be said of Morecambe & Wise. Their sketch with Andre Previn, conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra, is right up there as one of the most loved British comedy sketches of all time. Well, it is for those of us of a certain age, anyway!
Great stuff guys. Have fun on your journey. 😊
Oh yes definitely morecambe and wise with andre previn
@@annabelthegreat And Glenda Jackson 😂😂
Andre previn is my favourite sketch of morcombe and wise.
Another great two Ronnies sketch is the 'Argentinian Racing Pigeon'. :)
The two Ronnie's first appeared on TV in the sixties. Look up the sketch "I know my place" they performed with John Cleese in 1966.
My brother had a four candles moment when he went into similar shop and his wife asked for Four candles. She was looking for a number Four candle for theirs sons birthday cake. His wife and the shop keeper could not understand why he was in fit's of laughter.
I still laugh at that sketch over 40 years later ..one of the best of all time ...easy
Still a brilliantly funny sketch, you should have watched it till the end for Barker's alternative ending.
This and the Morcambe and Wise breakfast scene have to go down in history as the funniest EVER! ❤️🇬🇧
Seen this sketch so many times and it never fails to make me laugh..just I wish I could watch it for the very first time again..
Do you wish you could go to the boleyn ground aswell rather than a stadium built for athletics which lost the incredible atmosphere west ham once had
Should be noted that when Ronnie Barker (the one who isnt the shopkeeper) passed away as well as pallbearers carrying the casket / coffin , there were four guys each carrying a large lit candle ... EPIC touch
You have hit the nail on the head , 5 miles up the road people talk in a totally different accent. I find it mind blowing and I live in the U.K. 😳🤷♂️🤣
The Two Ronnie are timeless. It was one of those shows the whole family would watch. Nothing but warm memories of the show, so funny.
The Two Ronnies are legends of UK comedy and this is one of their very best sketches. 😂
From the era when comedians got genuine laughter from their audiences.
The most famous TV sketch ever. When Ronnie Barker was buried they had 4 candles on his coffin.
So clever on so many levels.
Very funny without being rude or offensive.
I love this sketch. It's Ronnie C's building annoyance that sells it so well. RIP fellas.
There’s was a live studio version of this sketch where at the end a “top heavy” woman comes out, looks at the list and then opens a box labelled “knockers”
You guys should of watched all of it. I can't believe it's 2022 and tou two have only just know looked at 2 ronnies😂 you guys would love another sketch they did called "pronunciation problems"
Yeah Ronnie barker did loads of them the Egyptian hydrographic, the phantom raspberry blower is so funny.
you missed an important addendum. RB was'nt happy with the ending and decided that the ending would be a well endowed lady coming out and asking about 'knockers'
Yep, that can of worms is well and truly open now! The Two Ronnies were an absolute mainstay of TV comedy here in Blighty throughout the 70s and 80s. Perfectly-written and choreographed, self-contained sketches, and the occasional recurring storyline themes.
I can remember watching this with my parents and being very confused when the shrieked with laughter. As a child it wasn't until I saw the rehearsal that I finally got the joke. Classic comedy, the Two Ronnie's were hilarious. Them, Morecombe and Wise and Dave Allen were the most funniest men on the telly.
The Ronnies at the end of the video talk about the sketch and to a perfect ending they only realised after they'd produced it. :)
A big part of the (intended) confusion comes from them playing the part of two Londoners. They are known for 'dropping their 'H's' - more often referred to as ' dropping their aitches ' - glad you two cool dudes understood enough to laugh at.
Although the H sounds in the letter H is silent, and it’s actually meant to be pronounced Aitch.
It's so much fun, watching a new generation such as yourselves creasing up at one of the finest sketches ever recorded in the UK! I think the Two Ronnies themselves would be very happy 🙂
Brings back memories of watching this with my grandparents on a Friday night when I was about 7! My grandad would laugh so hard! So many amazing memories! My grandad passed in 2007, but the memories live on. Phantom Raspberry Blower of Old London Town was always a favourite of mine. Hearing my grandad do that impression made me laugh so hard as a kid 🏴❣️
Context is everything. You can’t always fully understand people, so paying attention to everything being said, tone, attitude etc etc is everything here in the uk.
"ah we don't need that" yes you do because they weren't happy with the ending, and reveal the perfect ending in the last clip.
The recap thing is actually an important part in explaining the ending!
Still has me in bits decades later. Two national treasures.
I'm enjoying your channel and your reacrions to some awesome British comedy. Thanks for taking the time. Glad you like it 😃🇬🇧🇺🇸
Two soups is a legendary sketch by Victoria wood with Julie Walters u guys would probably love it
I used to work at the UK equivalent of your Home Depot and they actually used this as a training video to demonstrate how to better understand customers and how misunderstandings can arise.
You boys are going to go far, honesty Is the key and you are so real.
You missed the knockers
you're talking billhooks right now
Divvy they only react to what other people have reacted too that's it
As other comments The Two Ronnies were UK comedy greats in 70s & 80s, Ronnie Barker wrote many of the sketches and was a master of word play. It was great to see your reaction guys, shows good comedy is timeless as this is from 1976
the alternative ending was so good
The Two Ronnie will keep you busy for years, there are no bad sketches, they are two geniuses that came together as one. Enjoy.
They ran from 1971 to 1987, 12 series consisting of 93, 40 - 58 minute episodes.
It was great on Saturday evening viewing when I was a bairn
You've GOT to watch the Two Ronnies "Mastermind" sketch. Genius.
I remember when we used to have shops like that! And we used to watch The Two Ronnies on a Saturday evening on BBC1. Yep, I'm 50 and British. Loving your channel❤️🤣🤣🤣
There's a hardware store in York called Barnitts and you can get practically anything you can think of. If you visit York check it out.
The Two Ronnie were so clever at creating sketches around the oddities and inconsistencies of English Language - and also how precise or lazy people can be using it. A true classic that everyone who grew up in the 70’s and 80’s will remember like yesterday.
U need to watch more of them. They are a legend in UK. Especially the sketch where he orders drinks at the bar,
The customer was played by Ronnie Barker and he wrote most of the sketches for their shows. This was so representative of his clever humour which often revolved around miscommunication and a play on words. He grew up in Oxford and next to the school he attended there's a pub named the Four Candles in his honour.
Growing up in the North of England in the 40s and 50s, I remember well shops exactly like this one, with row upon row of drawers behind the counter. The salesman was invariably called either ' Reg' or ' Alf ' , and excelled in revealing the customers' lack of knowledge of the ' hardware ' business.
Laughing right along with you guys, an absolute UK classic from 1976 written by Ronnie Barker (big guy in the sketch). If you liked this check out his sitcom of same era 'Porridge' about a guy in prison. Thanks, as ever, for uploading guys. 😆🤣😂🇬🇧🇺🇸
Love your reactions, probably the hole of the UK watched this sketch back when this was on tv,many years ago 👍
Congratulations you have just met the greatest British comic actor since Chaplin, Ronnie Barker The Two Ronnies and Porridge on a level you will be blown away with. Bear in mind with the former that he wrote a lot of it under an assumed name and no one knew it was him.obviously and were awaiting for the writer to turn up at a special event when he put his hand up when called so to speak.
Don't forget open all hours.
@@TJOOBI1 Quite correct , a classic I forgot somehow
The great Two Ronnies. Amazing wordsmiths and comedians. sadly both gone now but they left a library of comedy for us all,
There’s a more recent sketch with Ronnie Corbett (the other Ronnie had sadly passed away by then) but he did a similar sketch in a grocers shop called ‘my blackberry is not working’ you should look it up
New subscriber from Liverpool here. Love your reactions lads, keep up the great work
Fork Handles 😂🤣😎 every time I watch this is hilarious. Classic brilliant word play.
Dud and Pete teaching a raven to fly underwater is comedy gold! All improvisation aswell!
Great to see that this very famous sketch is still causing so much laughter 5 decades on. For some outrageous language misunderstandings, of a Cockney in New York, try Mickey Flanagan's "Can I come in your house?", which is on YT. Congrats on getting all the references. It's not easy for the younger Brits to get, with things like hose and pumps.
You just watched the MASTERS of comedy which i call ‘play on words’
Great you guys - am from the UK and totally laughing with you 2...
Growing up in the US with an English Mom, Irish Dad and my cockney grandfather I totally understand this skit. My grandfather dropped his “h” on every word except the word Honor where the h is silent.
SOO nice to see these two guys watch this legendary sketch an REALLY enjoy the humour. There are a lot of contributors to this site who think that our American "Cousins" do not have a sense of humour, but I lived in The USA for almost six years, and they have a wonderful sense of fun and humour, it is simply that in some cases we use words and these words may have a slightly different connotation in America. Well done you guys
This is the funniest British sketch ever made - period. And I'm an old Brit 😆
Glad you guys enjoyed this. The two Ronnies were the best comics Britain has ever produced 👍👍
What really made this was the care and attention that the BBC gave to building this superb set, that was only going to be used for one sketch lasting 5 or 6 minutes. Where I live, we still have such a hardware shop and it is joy to visit.
One of the greatest sketches of all time
I am sorry that you never played the last couple of minutes. Ronnie Barker (the customer) explains that he wasn't happy with the ending. Ronnie Corbett, is the shopkeeper. They are so different in that last section compared to their characters in the sketch. Brilliant choice and I am so glad you not only got it, but you roared with laughter like we did when we first saw it.
Greatest duo ever on tv.
This sketch is regularly coming up at the top in funniest British TV moment shows along with the bar fall in only fools and horses
At Ronnie Barkers funeral the alter boys held 4 candles throughout the service.
Ronnie Barker, the customer in this sketch, was one of Britain's finest comedy writers. There's plenty more material to go yet, guys. Pleased you're enjoying this material.
I'm here to comment that you two goes are the best. I m british and 30 and this is great. I would love to hear more lightning seeds xxxxxx
real old classic comedy,still funny after hearing a thousand times, this rabbit hole will never end,theres loads sketches just pick anyone, great reaction guys
I've seen a few Americans look puzzled at such as simple word-play joke but you guys got it, well done:). BTW, Ronnie Barker (the big guy) used to submit sketches to his team of writers under the pen name 'Gerald Wiley'....joke in the surname!. They loved Gerald's sketches, bought them but wanted to meet him so a meal was arranged. During the meal, Barker announced 'I'm Gerald Wiley' and initially no-one believed him. And in the 1970's a man working as a scene-shifter at the BBC approached Barker and sold him a sketch. He so impressed Barker that he was hired to be on the writing team. He went on to greater things. You've seen his most famous creation - falling through the bar and running through the streets dressed as Batman & Robin. He was John Sullivan, creator of Only Fool & Horses. His writing career began with the Two Ronnies.
Your reaction is hilarious and joyous. This sketch is consistently voted the funniest ever on UK television. I have seen it countless times and watching you laugh and sitting here knowing there's an even better line coming has me crying with laughter
No, please-we love the rabbit holes. Variety is the spice of comedy, and we all need as much as we can get. I’m hooked.
One of the best comedy sketches ever. Glad you enjoyed it!
You should always watch the videos until the end. You never know what you'll miss.
This rabbit hole is deeeep,so many absolutely outstanding sketches
The two ronnies were legends of comedy in the uk.
The "got any Ps' bit was the funniest for me. The way he gets cheesed off fhaving to go back up to the box of letters again after just getting it before, then finding out he didn't actually want that XD
These men were legends and both geniuses. I'm so honoured to have grown up watching them on tv. Barker the taller of the two was the comedic genius. Corbett was the straight man. "Got any Peas?" Is where I lost it😂
Spencer and Daniel. You need to watch Fawlty Towers ..ICONIC BRITISH HUMOUR AT IT'S FINEST
You need to watch their answering the question asked before for Mastermind
.absolutely brilliant,
Cracking reaction, these two blokes spanned decades of saturday night sketches... so much to choose from
Hi guys. I am soooo glad that you've found the Two Ronnies' most famous sketch! If you go anywhere in the UK and say "four candles", you will get a laugh as it is such a fundamental comedy sketch! Please explore more Two Ronnies sketches!!!
That is one of the most famous sketches on British TV by two of greatest comedians.
Oh guys Spencer, Daniel you needed to carry on watching this video.. it was Ronnie Corbett & Ronnie Barker sharing thier favourite sketches and at the end they share the alternate ending idea for that iconic sketch. They are the 2 Ronnie's, the creators. You would've seen the real Ronnie's. Glad you enjoyed this iconic British masterpiece and you actually got it straightaway. Good work guys.
They are national treasures sadly past now. But the shoe was all sketches so a great one to dip into and each one is so different in the characters and accents the use. I know it’s another rabbit hole but perhaps slightly less so insofar as they are all skits. Enjoyed your reaction and the video you watched was good as it was the full sketch, Amanda x
