I'm an American and I remember seeing an episode or two of M&W on the local PBS station as a kid. Since rediscovering Eric & Ernie here on YouTube I just can't get enough of them!
When I feel down, I just play this until I'm cheery again (normally after a single play through) :D Just doing the their Groucho dance a little bit is a brilliant way to make those blues disappear. You might look silly if you do it in the street, but what a small price to pay to return to a state of happiness :)
@geronimojordann this is their famous "Groucho" dance. Groucho Marx did a similar dance in one of the marx Brotheres films. Their producer John Ammonds saw it, showed Eric and Ernie, they loved it and incorporated it into their shows. It`s the only end dance they did, but they didn`t always do it exactly the same!
One of those catchy pieces of fluff that lighten your heart -- like Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head, and Gingerbread Man, and of course Bring Me Sunshine!
Oh, and I once saw M & W live as a kid. Totally clean - just a little inuendo, and hilarious. Live, they were even better than on TV, because although the show was carefully rehearsed, they were also experts (especially Eric) at ad-libbing and playing the audience. Wonderful.
BR - I totally agree! Others are 'old school' like Ken Dodd - whose shows immediately sell out, and who is on stage for 6+ hours without a swear word - or other old timers like Cannon and Ball. Sadly there are those who, when on TV (Like Lee Mack in 'Not Going Out'), are clean and yet hilarious, but when on stage live they are obscene. Unlike Doddy, Ive not see MM.live. I just hope that when he has a live audience he doesn't stoop to offensive obscenity to try to be funny... he doesn't have to!
What a pleasant change from the unfunny offensive venom of so many of today's so-called 'comedians' (eg, Frankie Boyle, Chubby Brown). M & W prove that you don't have to resort to bad language or offence to make people laugh. How many comedians today can boast Christmas audience of 28 million and more? With the exception of perhaps Laurel and Hardy, M and W were the greatest double act the world has ever seen. More than that, their life-long friendship and stable family life shines through.
@MrJayguess Probably only one and that's Michael Mcintyre.He's hilarious and proves that bad language is not the answer when it comes to comedy.The things he says are so true.
Fantastic! I suffer from bipolar and everytime I start going down Im on here listening to this and Bring Me Sunshine and it always brings a smile to my face.
Oh yes.....Now that's just perfection, The song and the completely insane hornpipe dance walk that they both made so famous,words just cannot express how wonderful they were and indeed still are.today.
My earliest memory as a little lad was watching these two on tv sat with my mum n dad in the 70s
God bless you Eric and ernie, i miss you guys so much
I love this song and always preferred it to Bring Me Sunshine - although that is excellent too! I can't believe that you have had negative and offensive comments about this video. If people don't like it then they don't have to watch it. I LOVE it and it always makes me feel positive and happy. Thanks for making it available.
Yes. He was a guest on the Christmas show that year - I think he sang Sorry seems to be the hardest word, which was his current single. He also appeared on the 1977 Christmas show.
the minute life gets me down you know what i do?...... i go to youtube type in Morecambe and Wise (just like i have done now) and watch some random clip of the most hilarious, inspiring two people that the world has ever had the privelage of beholding.... and you know what, i'm smiling before the clip even starts. Thank you Eric and Ernie, you will live on forever.
@FunnyThingy So do I! I have saved lots of their sketches to simply click onto and I'm laughing in no time. Morecambe and Wise - they are a masterclass in real comedy with that added ingredient. WARMTH!
Wiv all the comedy duo's there have been, none will EVA beat these 2!!!!! Best eva these awesome guys r!!!! I just cnt stop laughin when i watch em!!! xxx
These fellas knew how to be funny, really funny, without the swearing and the arrogance. They will be forever remembered for their magnificent writing skills and for their talented performances both on stage and on screen. One of the best comedy duos ever, thanks for posting
These guys had been and gone before i was even born, but they are just the Kings of Comedy, nobody can beat them! Favourite double act ever! Comedy today is pathetic compared with these icons! Morecambe and Wise are Gods!
I love these blokes...you always knew it was christmas when you saw the specials on TV. God I miss the laffs. I saw a documentry on sky about them so have gone and bought the dvds of the christmas shows..PURE CLASS!!! A PAIR OF COMIC GENIUSES ON A PAR WITH 2 RONNIES!!
(Incidentally, I have just been through the comments and weeded out the offensive ones. If there are any others which I don`t see, please send me a message).
@GrandiaKnight Bring me sunshine was brilliant but ya know so is this. Listening to the words, it says it all cos positive thinking does get you through. I think these were well ahead of their time! and why don't we see more uplifting stuff on TV now adays like this? Ok X-factor hightlight on Sat night but these were class X
Yes ford u r right. Nobody can beat Eric n Ern. In the olden days........the likes of Morecambe and Wise could dance, sing and make us laugh unlike today were they just stand up and tell jokes.
Yes I think Ant and Dec are a modern version. They do seem to have a chemistry like M&W. But the 70's was a golden age for Saturday night T.V. Will it ever happen again? I dunno.
I am saddened by some of the negative comments made here. Morecambe and Wise were quite simply the best there has ever been!! We shall not see their like again. Keep a lookout for clips of "Bring Me Sunshine" the Morecambe and Wise tribute show coming soon to YOUTUBE. These guys , who happen to be friends of mine , are spookily close to the real thing!! They are keeping the magic of Eric and Ernie alive. Never mind the credit crunch , this countries biggest debt is to Morecambe and Wise.
If you want to understand the British,watch a few episodes of the Morecambe and Wise show and it'll give you an interesting insight.
These guys were our best ever double act,and maybe our very best comedy act.They were greatly loved and admired and incredibly popular.[25 million viewers at Xmas...half the country!] Sadly it seems their comedy did not translate too well outside the UK,except maybe Eire,Oz and NZ.
They certainly had a following in New Zealand during the 1960s and 1970s. Not so in Canada where I live. Mind you, we had a comedy variety series called Wayne and Shuster featuring very similar humour. Also, two ex-pat Englishmen living in Montreal have a comedy musical show called Bowser and Blue which has received somewhat of a following, including the Just for Laughs Festival. Morecambe and Wise is one comedy act, in my opinion, which has withstood the test of time!
Comedy has changed from how it was back then, now comedians have to swear nd be extremely rude to get laughs, back then, the real comedians lived, the ones that made people laugh by stepping on stage, just like Eric did!
That clip with Angela Rippon is one of the all-time classics with Morecambe and Wise. So is the Singing in the Rain sketch, also from that same Christmas special. Today being Christmas I'm certain the BBC is showing Morecambe and Wise in some capacity.
You can get this on itunes. I promise you if you put this on your ipod and play it as you are going to work it honestly sets you up for a great day. Even with a hangover!
How many of "Todays" comedians can make an audience laugh hysterically by simply peeling a banana and saying nothing??? Eric did it and I still howl with laughter when he does it and it shows that to make so many people laugh you don't need profanities.
2. So what if they were? I happen to know a couple of homosexual people and they're good, nice people. Calling someone gay doesn't mean they're a freak.
Morecombe and Wise were classic comedians icons, I grew up watching them back home in the U.K. and to this day they are timeless, and to the person who said they were gay, if you mean that they were happy and light hearted and brought joy to be others with their humour Amen! but if you're being ignorant you are in your own sad world and I feel extreme remorse for you, if your life is sad try and make it a little sweeter.
People who think calling someone gay is the ultimate insult really are pretty tragic. However, they weren`t go, and shouldn`t be referred to in the present tense, sadly. I`m going to keep a close eye on the comments here from now on, and any more trouble-makers will be reported immediately.
even comedians of today could never match the comedic flair of our eric and ern,even after eric died,ern did some shows of his own that sadly failed due to ern looking so lost without eric,he did not want to continue and slipped toward retirement til the day he...met eric again
thank you ddaawnn55 for the comment back, =], an i must say your comment just now, is truely touching specily at the end when Ern meets Eric again..., the point is that comedy has changed from how it was back then, now comedians have to swear nd be extremely rude to get laughs, back then, the real comedians lived, the ones that made people laugh by stepping on stage, just like Eric did!
87SaL87, I suppose you meant to say that Vic Reeves reminds you of Eric Morecambe, and not the other way round. Reeves entire act was inspired by Morecambe, I'm sure he's acknowledged that many times himself. Morecambe and Wise, irreplaceable and utterly special. Made the world a better, funnier place to live in.
I very much agree with all you've said, but of course the way round you say it does entirely depend on which act you've personally seen first. For example, on watching the start of this clip, I was instantly reminded of Vic & Bob's 'Smell Of Reeves And Mortimer' series. I do understand and realise that these two came earlier, but having personally seen Smell Of first, that is the way round I was reminded, and thus is the way that I would write it down. ^__^
These two men brought sunshine to everyones life for generations! what sunshine will be brought to the world now?? Exactly none! The best comedy duo this country has ever seen!
R.I.P Guys, and when the sun shines we all know its you!
If a person was to dislike a video and its contents, surely he or she could find a way to express their opinion in a manner that doesnt entail the rest of the worls thinking that they are a complete and utter fool.
Also, why is it that narrow minded idiots always seem to go down the homophobia route when they want to rattle cages?

Also, two ex-pat Englishmen living in Montreal have a comedy musical show called Bowser and Blue which has received somewhat of a following, including the Just for Laughs Festival. Morecambe and Wise is one comedy act, in my opinion, which has withstood the test of time!

Comedy has changed from how it was back then, now comedians have to swear nd be extremely rude to get laughs, back then, the real comedians lived, the ones that made people laugh by stepping on stage, just like Eric did!
R.I.P Eric 'n' Ern.

Was that Angela Rippon at the beginning of the clip?

Yes.

That clip with Angela Rippon is one of the all-time classics with Morecambe and Wise. So is the Singing in the Rain sketch, also from that same Christmas special. Today being Christmas I'm certain the BBC is showing Morecambe and Wise in some capacity.

You can get this on itunes. I promise you if you put this on your ipod and play it as you are going to work it honestly sets you up for a great day. Even with a hangover!

Your about as dumb as they come. In 1977 over 28 million tuned in to there show. I doubt your talent would fill a phone box.

How many of "Todays" comedians can make an audience laugh hysterically by simply peeling a banana and saying nothing??? Eric did it and I still howl with laughter when he does it and it shows that to make so many people laugh you don't need profanities.
RIP Eric and little Ern

1. They probably weren't.
2. So what if they were? I happen to know a couple of homosexual people and they're good, nice people. Calling someone gay doesn't mean they're a freak.

Morecombe and Wise were classic comedians icons, I grew up watching them back home in the U.K. and to this day they are timeless, and to the person who said they were gay, if you mean that they were happy and light hearted and brought joy to be others with their humour Amen! but if you're being ignorant you are in your own sad world and I feel extreme remorse for you, if your life is sad try and make it a little sweeter.

i don't care if they where guy or not they where good in what they did
markcooney13 3 years ago 2
how were they gay?
they were both happily married, Eric with 3 children.
how do you have the right to say this about two STRAIGHT legendry men.
are you uncomfortable with your life, so you have to judge those that had made their life full of happiness?

People who think calling someone gay is the ultimate insult really are pretty tragic. However, they weren`t go, and shouldn`t be referred to in the present tense, sadly. I`m going to keep a close eye on the comments here from now on, and any more trouble-makers will be reported immediately.

even comedians of today could never match the comedic flair of our eric and ern,even after eric died,ern did some shows of his own that sadly failed due to ern looking so lost without eric,he did not want to continue and slipped toward retirement til the day he...met eric again

thank you ddaawnn55 for the comment back, =], an i must say your comment just now, is truely touching specily at the end when Ern meets Eric again..., the point is that comedy has changed from how it was back then, now comedians have to swear nd be extremely rude to get laughs, back then, the real comedians lived, the ones that made people laugh by stepping on stage, just like Eric did!
R.I.P Eric 'n' Ern.
hayleigh13 3 years ago
Indeed. Rest in peace.
I do agree that comedy's gone severely downhill, but there are still some good laughs out there, ones who don't have to descend to gutter humour.

87SaL87, I suppose you meant to say that Vic Reeves reminds you of Eric Morecambe, and not the other way round. Reeves entire act was inspired by Morecambe, I'm sure he's acknowledged that many times himself. Morecambe and Wise, irreplaceable and utterly special. Made the world a better, funnier place to live in.
munph70 3 years ago 3
I very much agree with all you've said, but of course the way round you say it does entirely depend on which act you've personally seen first. For example, on watching the start of this clip, I was instantly reminded of Vic & Bob's 'Smell Of Reeves And Mortimer' series. I do understand and realise that these two came earlier, but having personally seen Smell Of first, that is the way round I was reminded, and thus is the way that I would write it down. ^__^

If a person was to dislike a video and its contents, surely he or she could find a way to express their opinion in a manner that doesnt entail the rest of the worls thinking that they are a complete and utter fool.
Also, why is it that narrow minded idiots always seem to go down the homophobia route when they want to rattle cages?
Just a couple of thoughts there...
