  • shame about the sound volume - cany hear a thing

  • i live in stanmore :D

  • How can you insure yourself for something you have do of your own free will? No insurance company would ever fathom such a ridiculous idea.

    That is akin to providing insurance to people who deliberately crash their cars.

  • @3nasacova ...How can you be so stupid?? This is a comedy sketch. You must be the most retarded person on youtube??

  • @coltsuperocean10 I would be the second most retarded person on YouTube at the worst.

  • @3nasacova ...oh yeah! I forgot about your Pop!

  • @coltsuperocean10 IS THAT A CHALLENGE??

  • @RetardRage99 ....no, a fact!

  • To me this is more about the fact to get insurance you have to first prove you will never need to claim.

  • Well I think this video is funny, God or no God.

  • And for the record, I am a very committed Christian, protestant specifically. I just recognise that a mention of religion in a video with no debate, just basically a reference to the fact it exists, is not a reason to make myself look like an idiot by yelling about my own belief/lack of as if the video started some serious argument. If you can't stand the fact that religion/other religions exist, go and live in a cave where you'll never have to face the fact some people are different from you.

  • I know this comment is going to achieve nothing, but for the sake of venting my frustration I would like to say this: everyone shut up about religion! I mean, if it was all about whether the video is anti-semitic I would understand. But it is, mostly atheists who seem unable to bear any passing mention of a religion without ranting that it is "all stupid," along with equally annoying religious people who think that mention gives them license to boast about theirs instead. Shut up!

  • You idiots who are brainwashed by ridiculous religious indoctrination should start to use your brains! Religion is all about geography not facts. If you are born in a certain country, or your parents were, then that dictates your religious "belief". What nonsenese!

    As for muslims, stop thinking you are better than everyone else because of your violent evil religion. Get a sense of humour everyone, enjoy the life you are blessed with & treat everyone as your friend

  • @phillabels you should really go and see a therapist man. calm down, nobody's gonna hurt you and we can get by without your advise, thanks!

  • You idiots who are brainwashed by ridiculous religious indoctrination should start to use your brains! Religion is all about geography not facts. If you are born in a certain country, or your parents were, then that dictates your religious "belief". What nonsenese!

  • FreedomFighterReturn I have seen your posts and why the fuck can't you accept that people believe in different religions. I am an atheist and I don't go rantin about I think there is no god.

  • The finest, most unique, comedians in the World have been Jewish.

    Jack Benny, Marx Bros, Mel Brooks, Woody Allen,Jerry Seinfeld, Larry David. (and my favourite , Shelly Berman). All of them had the ability to observe the funny side of life. And they are right..life is a big joke at times.

  • These anti-semite bastards!

  • @AndreHiltre Superior shmuperior! Hahahaha and my favourite bit 'One pound a month I'll take it!' Hahahaha

  • @stoprainingonme  Shorty: "Please sit down. Are you comfortable?"

    Jew-boy: "I get by, I get by."

  • Are you Comfortable...Oh I get by I get by ....LMFAO

  • @JUSTBETHY1 already my dear!

  • This is the service you should expect from the ACME Insurance Company XD

    This sketch shows how well Ronnie Barker could portray almost any character, he was that talented CB

  • I am Jewish and think this is brilliant. It's a shame that the "Religion of Peace" can't do likewise and have a laugh against themselves

  • Fantastic... and that coming from a Jew

    Shame that the "Religion of Peace" can't take a joke against itself

  • FreedomFighterReturn go and spout your religious nonsense elsewhere do you really think that people are going to take you seriously on the internet of all places.

  • I'm Jewish and I thought this sketch was hilarious. I didn't detect any ill will. I'd be lost without a sense of humor.

  • @freedomfighterreturn

    Why don't you take that stick outa your arse this is comedy meant to make people laugh not the bloody crusades go comment on a video that makes fun of Islam and leave this one alone. You're making all us other Muslims look bad.

  • @FreedomFighterReturn It's a Two Ronnies sketch, there is no bloody subtext here! There is no need to get religious, this video is about poking fun at stereotypes. Perhaps you need some fun poked at you, though I doubt you would recognise levity if it bit you in the arse.

  • @FreedomFighterReturn what a twat you are , take your spam and shove it where the sun dont shine . Bringing islamic babble here , get a brain will you , educated people have no interest in your nonsense .

  • For all those that recognise this as the brilliant (if rather daft!) comedy it is, PLEASE click "dislike" on each of the religious babbling argument comments. If we can get them all marked as spam, then we can focus on enjoying two comedy greats.

  • Oh guys, seriously, shut the fuck up.

    Enjoy the brilliant comedy. No one cares about your inane religious babbling, nor will you convince anyone of your opinions online.

  • @FreedomFighterReturn So if you go away then we'll be comforted. Sounds good to me.

  • @FreedomFighterReturn Quote: And tell me, if you say Qura'an was plagiarized, why the 1st revelation of the Qura'an is mentioned in the Old Testament in the book of Isiah during 8th Century BCE (+1400 years the verse existed BEFORE it was revealed to Muhammad):

    EXACTLY.

    Please leave us alone!!

  • @FreedomFighterReturn No need to send it 3 times. Once is enough. I said plagiarised not copied. One can plagiarise ideas and not copy word for word. It is well known that mohammad who came from a family of pagans got his ideas he learned from Jewish people. But I don't care about any of that. You made a highly stupid comment on a youtube video of the Two Ronnies of all places. Can't you just follow your religion and leave us all alone!!!!!!

  • @FreedomFighterReturn Jerusalem is not in the quran.

  • @FreedomFighterReturn Typical. Why am I not surprised. Another muslim who is so unsure of himself and his beliefs, all he can do is try and put down another's beliefs. And pray tell me why islam plagiarised from Judaism and Christianty?

  • @FreedomFighterReturn correct me if im wrong but are all religions not based on very similar premises. i.e Love the Lord your God (however you choose to define/name Him) with all your mind, with all your strength and with all your heart.

    Back to the point...great video thanks for uploading

  • @Wellsypig15 Yes, that's true.

    Don't mean to stray too far from this great clip but I'm partly from the East and when i comes to beliefs i feel that

    the word LOVE is about acceptance..unconditional acceptance.

    Religion, if it's to reflect Gods love, SHOULD be about this rather than a set of rigid rules that are a burden.

    NONE of us know for sure. whatever religion we are. A belief is yet ONLY a belief.

    Peace & Love.

  • He's mexican

  • A Jew is baptized into the Church of England and a few months later he goes to St. Patrick's and tells the priest he wants to become a Catholic. The priest is thrilled and asks him - why do you wish to change your faith yet again? And the Jew answers: So if they ask me what I was before I can say I was an Anglican

  • I'm an Orthodox Jew and this is so funny!

  • I want to be insured against becoming a keyboard commando starting arguments on hilarious videoson youtube when I really should be in the world, seeing life and having friends.

  • @FreedomFighterReturn oh my god what are you babbling on about? dont sour this page with your nonsence especially a page with two british comedy legends, go watch a clip of some poor woman being stoned to death, thats comedy islam right?. shush with your silly little brain.

  • This kind of humour, might be above some peoples level of intelligence I fear, but I have always loved the cleverly written comedic sketches from the Two Ronnies.

  • This is not anti Jewish, in case anyone gets the impression. Funny is funny, period. and yes, I am J

  • Comment removed

  • As usual, an excellent sketch from the two Ronnies. Almost all comedy pokes fun at race, nationality, religion, political belief, appearance, social standing, gender or level of intelligence. If you have a problem with that then don't watch comedy.

  • @MrSelidor7 Have you noticed that comedy that tries not to offend a particular group ends up offending everyone?

  • @MaskedMan66. Yes, usually by being crap. Comedy and offensiveness pretty much go hand in hand.

  • Ive never seen this before on the two ronnies and I dont get what they are saying through it maybe thats why I didnt think it was funny! nh

  • "One pound a moneth? I'll take it!"

  • barker genius

  • Anyone who finds this sketch offensive, really needs to get a life.

  • To johnsongbird....Absolutely agree....Fantastic sketch :-}

  • @cagedkiller

    I think the greatest comedy, such as here, is not only funny but also touches on subjects which are seriously thought provoking.

    I think a forum such as this is perfect for not only showing your appreciation of the great comics but also to discuss related and relevant issues which arise out of watching it.

    A lot can be learnt from the greats and also from commrnenters who share their reactions and reflections.

  • Chill out Brother ! It's a comedy sketch,not a flippin debating subject....Lighten up!!

  • hahahahaha

  • I am grateful I do not have to take life so seriously as to get in a heavy discussion about something so funny as the Two Ronnies. I think it must be miserable to think every one is out to get you.

  • @ronhesseable Believe me, it is.

  • I respect anyone's beliefs - in whatever they wish, as long as it doesnt effect me or others. If all were to do so it would mean the disappearance of racism and other evils inherent in coexistence.

    The trouble is that many beliefs are, by their own definition, exclusively devoted to spreading to and cohercing others to adopt them. Therein, I think, lies the danger.

  • great stuff , i think it was brilliant --im a jew and i loved it. two ronnies are great

  • @londoner432 I'm not a jew and I loved it, also :-)

  • Huh? unclear!. But if your'e saying we must not make fun of the Jew I heartily agree! Nor make fun of anyone because of his faith, sex, race etc. In brief theres a line which shouldnt be crossed -that of laughing at and of laughing with. Ronnie here is definitely laughing with!

  • "Nor make fun of anyone because of his faith, sex, race" I'd disagree on the faith bit. Inherent respect for arbitrary beliefs is dangerous.

  • Amazing how Ronnies genius for comedy turns what could have been a nasty anti-semitic caricature into a warm, humourous portrayal. Full of compassionate identification with the orthodox Jew, but at the same time ironic and just super funny. In short theres a lot of Jewish humour in this sketch!

  • its the 2 ronnies u fekin dikheads go and watch question time or jeremy kyle if u want to see something topical

  • The look of the "Hymie" character is based on Adolfo Celi's appearance in the much-reviled 1981 BBC series "The Borgias".

  • When did AIDS come into the sketch? Some people hey. Too political and rant obsessed :S I agree with quicker2006, just watch the video!

  • god shut up you boring farts! cant you just watch the video and laugh

  • Why do Bank Holiday Mondays always pass by so quickly?

  • Do you not find this Rontopeth Corbett video rather violent?

  • Ronto who?

  • Rontopeth Corbett. Have you not seen his tv shows?

  • Opinions are what you have when you don't really know anything about the matter in question. When you know something about it, it's more than just an opinion. It's my opinion that football is boring, but I'm not really interested in football and don't know much about it. I think Charlie Parker is a great musician, but that's more than just an opinion because I do know something about music.

  • Also, would you mind expanding on this "Jewish culture" that you mentioned? What do you mean?

  • "You think too deeply, a pointless thing to do, considering the majority of other people don't and never will." This doesn't follow. If the majority of people don't think deeply and never will, why is it pointless for those who do think deeply to go on doing so? I am compelled to think about things: are you saying I stop it? Why?  Because it bothers you? (Because I might be right?)

    Also, has it occurred to you that I might not want to "appeal to the masses"?

  • Also, the KKK is not like the class of all mathematicians in the world. The KKK is or was devoted to white supremacy. Mathematicians are not necessarily supporters of maths supremacy. Some mathematicians are Christians; some are probably racist. But would you get somebody who isn't racist joining the KKK? What would be the point? The KKK is by definition a racist organisation.

  • The KKK is not an abstract concept but a real-life bunch of organisations, each of which share a specific mission.

    "Jewish culture" is not like the KKK, for the reason I gave above - it's too diffuse and diverse. You might as well talk about "Protestant culture" and mean everything from Bob Jones University to Ingmar Bergman. Adam Sandler is Jewish culture - so is Amos Oz.  What have they got in common, other than that they are Jews? You tell me.

  • It's actually both ill-informed and illogical, for these reasons:

    Reason 1: ill-informed. There is no single, homogenous "Jewish culture". Woody Allen has little or nothing in common with Neturei Karta, which in turn has little or nothing in common with Yisrael Beiteinu.

    2. It does not follow that because you dislike a thing or concept that you must also dislike anyone who subscribes to it. You might hate pizza and maths; doesn't mean you also have to hate pizza fans and mathematicians.

  • Just because you think that all religions are stupid, doesn't mean that you are obliged to be anti-semitic. Anti-semitism is the hatred of Jews in particular. I don't like religion much, but that doesn't mean that I hate everybody who happens to be religious; I don't like conservative politics but I happen to have (a few) friends who are way more right-wing than I am. Are you as critical of other religions? Do you also hate Buddhists, Catholics, Methodists, Muslims, Baha'i, Mennonites?

  • XD at the end a cardnal comes in XD

  • A perfect definition of insurance - "you the client pay we the insurers large sums of money - that' is it!"

  • HAHAHAHAHAHA for £1 a month i'll take it!! hahahaha!

  • Look at " Max Bygraves"....An English joke, most definitely....Just hope that everyone gets it!!! :-) Steve

  • Comment removed

  • haha. This was hilarious!

  • Are you really 27? You sound 14.

  • Herlig å kunne le godt av en sketsj om en jøde uten at jeg føler skam for å være antisemmit eller jødehater. Katolikken som kom inn sist var krona på verket. Herlig :-))

  • Ser plutselig at det der kom ut feil. Jeg skammer meg ikkefor å VÆRE antisemmitt, men jeg lo uten å være redd for å bli kalt en. Skjønner? Alltid greit å lese gjennom før en sender kommentar. Jeg er altså IKKE antisemmitt. Jøder, muslimer, kristne, sihker og alle andre religiøse er like lurt alle sammen :-)

  • this is one of my fav skechs they did so funny.

  • at the end of that sketch i did think to myself "oh i bet his friends gonna look like the pope" lol

  • pre-existing condition, eh? ;)

  • LOL

    Does the pope wear a funny hat?

    Yes, he does.

    And he doesent think condoms helps in the fight againts HIV/AIDS either, that old,old man.

  • "And he doesent think condoms helps in the fight againts HIV/AIDS either, that old,old man."

    Uh, I think you'll find that's true. It's not a cure. Essentially, it won't stop AIDS existing, it'll just stop children from being born and potentially wipe out a huge chunk of the African population. Besides, isn't it shallow to say "you have HIV/AIDS and there's nothing we can do about but don't worry, you can get your end away if you wear this"?

  • Evil, immoral dogma.

  • Oh please . . . Bob Geldof supported it and he's an atheist. There's nothing dogmatic about it. It's just common sense. I'm glad I don't have as low an opinion of Africans as you do, thinking they'd be so horny as to not care about HIV/AIDS as long as they can have sex.

  • Geldof supported it so therefore it's ok? No. Nice ad hominum attack too. Condoms prevent pregnancy and AIDS. If you argue against that, well, you're a Catholic.

  • Yes, condoms prevent pregnancy and AIDS. When did I argue against that? Prevention isn't a cure. If I prevent traffic from moving, does that cure congestion? Or how about if everybody stopped moving in the middle of a bank robbery? Does that mean the bank ISN'T being robbed? All you'd succeed in would be killing off the population by giving out condoms.

    But who cares, right? They'd get to have sex . . .

  • AIDS is killing the population. Education is what's needed and Catholicism is the antidote to learning.

  • You see, you make learning sound like a bad thing when you call Catholicism an antidote. Although considering how little you've learned from my last two comments, it's not surprising.

    You're clearly just some intolerant loser with a petty grudge against Catholicism; in case you haven't noticed with the Bob Geldof comment, it's not only Catholics who supported the idea and, because you're too stupid to realise this unless it's stated point blank, children can't be born if condoms are used. Duh

  • Either way round it's hardly shedding positive light on religion. If you say condoms in Africa are a bad idea you're immoral. That's it. Your evil Catholic beliefs are killing people slowly. Like I say it's all about educating the people with real scientific fact, not 'faith' and other fairytale nonsense that fills them with fear and guilt.

  • If you think it fills people with fear and guilt then it's just another way in which you're showing yourself to be an uneducated buffoon. You've already been told that it's not specific to Catholicism and yet you're continuing with your pathetic rant because you can't accept when you're wrong. Such is your intolerance and utterly childish anti-authority complex that you just feel like blaming Catholicism when it isn't to blame. Grow up and I might continue talking to you . . .

  • Feel free to give up. It has filled people with fear and guilt for centuries. Ask your Pope is Limbo exists. See what he says. Then try and tell the dead parents of dead children going back hundreds of years that it was just something man-made! Well what a surprise that is. Bottom line, if you oppose condom use in Africa you're brainwashed and immoral.

  • You just supported the wiping out of a population through condom use. I don't think it's hard to see which of us is immoral, not to mention illogical.

  • You really think condom use will mean no more healthy babies? Condom use + education and proper health care. There. Not ancient dogma and immoral religious ideas. AIDS is wiping out a lot of African people, not safe sex.

  • Could you be any more ignorant? Tell you what, have "the talk" with your parents, realise how wrong you are and then come back and apologise for being such an idiot.

  • Evil madness. FTP.

  • Sorry is this a comment on the video or part of another one of those senseless unrelated debates that usually end up getting nowhere? I'm sorry if you want your 'freedom of speech' but if you could do it outside of the Internet it would be much appreciated.

  • Condoms aren't a cure for AIDS...but they are an extremely effective preventative measure. Babyshambler is absolutely right in pointing out that the Catholic Church is complicit in the spreading of AIDS by denouncing the use of condoms. It is despicably naive to expect millions of people to avoid STD's with nothing more than abstinence to protect them.

    As for condoms "killing off the population", that would be the case...if they were used for 100% of sexual encounters, which is pure fantasy.

  • 14 millon jew in the world they doing a good job aren't they. Very very funny chaps i have to say weather is was jews of.

    Chass and Dave. Its just a bit a fun

  • So true- why do Jews hate to admit they are Jews??

  • Jews don't hate to admit they are Jews. You just hate hearing we are.!

  • Title is wrong. A funny sketch, why are people getting cross and rude about it? Its funny - go on, laugh!

  • Fuck off and die.

  • Well there's no need for that.

  • For bigots, yes there is.

  • Sorry, I thought you were commenting on the Two Ronnies and the sketch, my mistake.

  • dogfashion? is that how your momma got pregnant with you? nothing a burka wouldnt sort out.

  • like me kike

  • Ok you all need to get a grip! especially RichySKing who is probably on crack. If you go to any other country you will find that whatever race, religion or colour, people will always make fun of each other, its just the way it is, but its people like you, that make an big issue out of it and start bitching and leaving nasty comments on here and in other media outlets that cause us our problems cause some angry little sod who has no life and nothing better to do than complain all the time.

  • There is a fine line between Just making fun of someone and an Antisemitic comment. It is obvious that icfireplace is Antisemitic.

  • Good point well made! we should be appreciating the guys genius instead of looking for arguments.

  • Good Point!!

    i agree with you totally.

    i dont see why some people need to make arguments out of nothing.

    it just proves that some people have nothing better to do with their lives.

    so as i say, i agree with you totally. :P

    :) xx

  • i actually cant see anything offensive whtsoever from this sketch, whoever has a problem with it should be executed.

  • people really are too sensitive nowadays this sort of humour is funny and is part of british history. okay alot of discrimination is wrong but when in a humorous context it is mostly not meant as an offence. this sort of thing is in british literature and culture (two ronnies in this sketch and charles dickens in great expectations stereotyped jews)

  • funny sh*t

  • Adress: 35 Bar Mitzvahgogue

    I love it!

  • that's Gardens not gogue :)

  • Whats wrong with the volume? Anyway, funny sketch :)

  • It looks like it was probably done from an old VHS tape; they tend to get that way after a couple of decades, especially if left too close to speakers, etc.

  • comedy should be completely indiscriminate and take the piss out of everyone hahaha.

  • I think there's plenty of stereotype humour these days, just on the other side of the pond.

  • This is so funny, but the title is wrong, its meant to be Catholic insuring himself against Judaism.

  • its so nice to take the piss out of each other no matter what your religion or dress code or coulor of skin is. we should embrace it, this was real funny but if you did it now some twat would get a big pay out from emotional stress. good god get a grip its called fun, im irish and i love jokes about thick paddies. stop being a pussy and first of all learn to laugh at yourself.

  • brilliant,schmilliant.

  • fun shmun, good shmood lets laugh at ourselves its the only way

  • amen to that!

  • I couldn't agree with u more mate! I'm an aussie of both italian and irish background. So that preety much says it all. Political correctness has so gone over the top!

  • How dare you say such a thing, I find your comment very offensive to people who believe something different to what you believe, and therefore I am going to request to have your comment removed. How dare you express your views and opinions, free speech has gone too far! We must live in a happy magical forest!

  • do what thou wilt

  • If they did that nowadays they'd nodoubt get lynced by the PC brigade

  • Reuben Abrahams.

    35 Barmitzvah Gardens.

    Stanmore.

    Absolutely brilliant! You probably wouldn't get away with it these days. Too many stereotypes, but they are all done in such good humour that it's impossible to take offence, really.

    We won't see their like again, I reckon.

    Ronnie Barker is very much missed.

  • Classic Ronnies!!! :)

  • This is so ridiculously funny! =)

  • man these guys are funny

    Pro Comedian from Nu Yawk here!

    Geoff Kole

  • classic , big ron was a true comedy great

  • not really no

  • Catherine Tate was in nappies when Barker wrote this

  • I know,of course not many people now can make their kind of comedy work.fairly clean,no swearing,nothing controversial ish.Great stuff.Rob

  • Thats what makes them so great because they could make you laugh while keeping it clean and for all ages. I hate English humor today all it is is rude perverted and full of swearing, and half the time its not even funny.

    At least these 2 had funny jokes, and there timing and acting also made the jokes that much better.

  • i agree. shows like little britain. its just base humour. like a series of fart jokes. im 22, but i only really watch the old sitcoms. theres nothing nasty or malicious in them. ronnie barker was a true comedy great. its a shame all the old guard are dissapearing

  • aye thats what i am getting at also, I'm only 24 (since yesterday lol)But i love the old programs like open all hours, 2 ronnies and so forth.

    All the actual "good" comics are old or dead witch is a true shame.

  • yeah, but thats the point. they were rude without actually saying rude things. commenting on the size of a womens tits using double entendres and inuendo is surely funnier than just saying "that womens got big tits". it also means kids can watch it because they dont know what they are talking about

  • Do you remember what the secret police in "the worm that turned" were dressed like! I think most kids would have noticed that - ha!

  • catherine tait is a revolting skank ... almost as un-funny as little britain

  • jewish-man with a hernia says to his doctor,.."Doctor-doctor, i`ve Twisted myself!" "impossible !" replies the doc!

  • My comment is marked as spam 4 some odd reason- probably the religiously-obsessed ingnatius- (loser)

  • My commetn below is in reply 2 the spam

  • Im Jewish and this is fucking hilairiousss!!

  • Y do I need to c what some ORGANISED religion says about the world? I&#
