@artvandelay13 Four Candles is an iconic sketch from the Two Ronnies. Corbett plays a shopkeeper who has to deal with a customer who's request for simple items becomes a hell of a task,
I love Rob's impression of Ronnie. I had the screen minimized when he said 'I've never felt the need to do an impression of Rob' and I genuinely thought Ronnie said it until I opened the window again xD great job
I think I'm missing the four candles thing. I know they sound alike, but everyone seems to really ride Ronny on that. I laughed so hard I had a coughing fit, but was that part of his act?
@MyJk552 Thanks... that was one of the most hilarious things I've ever seen. I'm glad I watched a lot of British TV on YouTube before seeing that or I wouldn't have gotten the accent jokes.
That split-second shot of David's grin when Paul reveals his identity has got to be the most concentrated blast of pure, unadulterated Smug I've ever seen.
Awesome. Truly Awesome.
By the way, as an American living in Vietnam, thanks to Mrmoody for providing me with the only source of good TV I can access--this in particular, as it's the funniest show I've seen since Arrested Development.
Haha I love when Lee say's she's his kind of lady, David's "OH GOD" was perfect. Sent me over the edge. Julian has a very calm and soothing voice and demeanor. Very attractive.
Buckets and Diplomacy? Nah. Pretty much the worst board game to pick.
"main distinctions from most board wargames are its negotiation phases (players spend much of their time forming and betraying alliances with other players) and the absence of dice or other elements that produce random effects. Set in Europe just before the beginning of World War I, Diplomacy is played by two to seven players, each controlling the armed forces of a major European Power."
@Gilari four candles said in ronnie's accent sounds like 'fork handles'. Ronnie was in a duo called the two ronnies years ago and it's probably their most famous skit. If you type in four candles into youtube i'm sure you'l find it :)
As the most natural thing in the world, David concedes that the bucket obviously sometimes beat him... So even in pretend-land he wouldn't claim to be consistently superior to his imaginary bucket friend. Seems quite modest.
I know there's already been a small war over similar comments here - so I kind of apologise in advance - but mother of GOD I would break Holly Walsh in two if she'd let me.
@fowad27 Yes, that I would quite like to fuck her. I'm sure she's intelligent and lovely and talented and funny, but it was quite distracting throughout the episode, is all.
Can someone explain the 4 candles part? What's the link between the sweet little old man and candles? I suppose it's a past show of him or movie scene or something? What was the name?
@Hozzas Oh, no, there was one time when the guest belonged to Lee Mack- don't remember the episode, but basically he was teaching him how to juggle. Quite sweet, really: Lee was learning to make his son proud.
I've never found the Two Ronnies particularly funny but there is something about Corbetts voice that is so calming, like listening to your family talk when your half asleep. Makes me feel like it's Christmas.
And the whole four candles thing wasn't actually that funny but the way Rob and Lee were so obviously delighted to be involved in such a classic sketch with Ronnie was heartwarming.
David's pretend buddy had to be a lie. Playing monopoly with a pretend friend is one thing, but trying to play diplomacy with pretend people would get you a ticket to the psych ward fairly quickly :)
Generally, I'm not one to be so wild and wacky as to quote a line from a youtube video in said youtube video's comment stream. But I cannot understand how that line coupled with Ronnie Corbett's physical presence could not keep Rob Brydon from shoving his impression into this episode as aggressively as Jack Torrance would if he were more comedic than psychotic. Furthermore, I'm not sure who I'd be quicker to forgive.
Um...i don't think you quiet understand Brydon's humour. He doesn't shove the his impressions in because he thinks the impressions are funny.The joke IS that they are so forced and lame in a similar way to Vic and Bobs tumble weed gags on Shooting Stars.
He's not looking for a laugh from the impression he's setting up Lee to shoot him down. The fact that Corbett is there just makes the whole thing even more *facepalm* which is exactly what he's going for.
@ringosis Yeah, I do understand how someone could see it that way. Even if that were the case, the problem persists. Instead of him doing impressions far too often, he's slightly making fun of himself for doing so many impressions but still doing it far too often. However ironic it is, it'd still be getting old.
Regardless, I disagree. And unless the crowd is applauding ironically every time he does a voice, they disagree with you too. It's meant to be genuine, and it's genuinely annoying.
Can't tell if you're joking so - The Two Ronnies most famous sketch is called Four Candles. It's about a guy who goes into an odds and ends shop, and a series of verbal misunderstandings ensue, beginning with Four Candles and Fork Handles. Ronnie Corbett plays the shopkeeper who gets increasingly angry at the customer.
Okay, normally I don't have any trouble understanding these British shows, but obviously there's some well-known pop culture reason that whole "four candles/fork handles" thing was such a big deal. I'm afraid I'm going to need a British person to explain that one, please. o_0
@VerilyTY It refers to one of Ronnie Corbett's most famous sketches from "The Two Ronnies". As said aboe, search "two ronnies four candles" to find it.
@hopeathlete If you like radio comedies, look up "Sarah Millican's Support Group." There's only like 4 episodes of it, I could upload it for you in you like :)
@ELuhn This series was taped back in April and May - if you go to the page history of the list of WILTY episodes on Wikipedia, it used to list recording dates
@Musseduss I'm not clear what it was all about, but she was in one of those "Red Bull" type contests, where people in various silly getups jump off a pier into the water. She was in a mock helicopter. She hit the water badly, and broke an elbow and dislocated a shoulder. I haven't found out any more, but hopefully she's much better now.
@ELuhn you can follow her on twiitter (username: wiggywalsh). Apparently she's still holed up on painkillers with the broken arm, but she's alive and kicking.
@Musseduss They record a turn for each guest in the first round, then cut out the one that isn't as funny as the others. She did get a turn, it just wasn't deemed funny enough to stay in
I thought that there was no way that David's could be true because it was so much like those Burger King commercials where the man with small hands is too ashamed to eat their big Whopper burger, or something. Art imitates life, I suppose.
Great to see that 'this is my' was David Mitchell's, at last! And love how he stood up to shake hands with Paul; a true gentleman in anyone's book, I reckon.
