The Two Ronnies - The Rev. McFarlane Lang

[TheGr8scott]

I do not understand a word of this as an Australian and neither do I understand why you would use two words to describe one word?

Ronnie B was a genius writer. This is hilarious. One of the funniest sketchers ever.

[nedladdy]

Rinie is always so damn clever with his word plays.

[Brittonsp]

@nedladdy I believe that you will find his name is Ronnie.

[nedladdy]

@Brittonsp oops, yes of course. I never was good as squelling.

cheers

I love this sketch. It's been one of my favourites since I first saw it. Been looking for it for years!

"And the RIchard the Third flew back to its nest."

Is that the same character that was in another sketch where Ronnie Corbett played a parishioner who was heckling him, and it turned into a standup routine? I'm trying to find that one...

[LastPlum]

I love the fact that only people in our country understand what's funny about this xD hehehehe :P

[bonuccicris]

@LastPlum

I wouldn't be so sure about that if I were you. ;-)

[LastPlum]

@bonuccicris oh really? well that I wasn't bargaining on! :P

[bonuccicris]

@LastPlum

I hasten to add that I have never picked any Richard the Third of dubious origin with my hand, though. :-D

Is 'Standard ease' supposed to be cheese or peas?

[MrBigj1970]

"People would stare at him for his dickie dirt was torn, his howdy-doos were full of holes and his coat was very Westminster Abbey."

[DrWhoFan80]

What is "tea leaf" rhyming slang for?

[nickmund]

@DrWhoFan80 Thief

[EireGoon]

Brilliant!!

I know they played a recording of this at his funeral- a great tribute for a great man!

[Inkyminkyzizwoz]

Whenever I watch this I always feel that he should have a rhyming slang for 'act' - 'matter of fact', perhaps?

[Inkyminkyzizwoz]

I was looking for this one on here and couldn't find it - thanks for uploading it!
