Eric and Ernie: Smoke Gets In Your Eyes

[davepukem]

1 person prefers "Sing If You Can" -- awful, awful show... but Eric & Ernie are timeless, and sadly missed (even though I discovered them long after Morecambe died)! Shirley Bassey was a fantastic sport, as was "Andy Preview" in this same Christmas show -- we need a comedy show like this again to stop celebs being too up themselves...

[ukenutcase]

The best of all Britcom They were unique I don't think they'll ever be another E&E. They'll be in heaven making God laugh

[OmegaRFox]

Smoke gets in you eyes, espeically when someone starts up the smoke machine...

[MrDayday58]

Eric and Ern, removed Dame Shirley's expensive sandals and she ended up in a pair of old boots. He He, only they could get away with that, very funny sketch. These guys very missed.

[OmegaRFox]

@MrDayday58 They could make fun of your performance and not do it out of spite like you'd get today...and not actually harm the performer's credability

3:29? Was Ernie talking about the slap or the music? chucklle if it was the slap roaring laugher if he meant the singing!

[MsDramagirl1]

1 person is incredibly stupid

How does Shirley Bassey keep going without laughing???

Genius!

[OmegaRFox]

@chrisbean247 I think one line they told andre previn (andrew preview) is that not either one of them must think this is funny... and to keep straight faced (or try to...)

[AtheistBrit]

Wonderfully done! I've been watching M&W since I was born :D

[redredreds100]

@AtheistBrit I was watching in the womb.

[dmcallister1506]

I never tire of watching this sketch. Classic

[BassoonistAlert]

apparently the shoe going through the step was a complete accident!

.x.

[dmcallister1506]

Don't know about that - you can see the mark on the step where she was meant to stand.

[frasierfreak92]

Yes, and I doubt that Eric and Ern would let it happen - they had everything rehearsed down to a tee.

[hotpoint34]

Thanks for posting this absolute classic. Very, very funny. Eric and Ernie did, and will always, make me smile. They brought me sunshine.

[HEV29]

ABSOLUTELY CLASSIC. WATCH AND LEARN xx

[xummij]

To think - an artiste of her quality setting herself up for a sketch like that! She wouldn't do that for just anyone! They were queuing up to appear with Eric and Ernie - and no wonder!!

[TrueSinatra]

Is that Burley Chassis, singing ?

[GedUK]

Could it be anyone else?

This is a very funny video and a good bit of fun directed at the smokers of this world :-)
