Morecambe and Wise The Curse of Tutankhamun
This is one of my favorite Morecambe and Wise sketches which I have been trying to find for years. Having now found it I hope others enjoy it too,

The last bastion of vaudeville. The joy this couple brought to so many was unparalleled.
Oh I miss watching Morecambe and Wise soooo much. These two, the Two Ronnies, Mike Yarwood and so many more. They were true comedians. We haven’t seen their like since and unfortunately never will again. Today’s ‘comedians’ (and I use the term loosely) can’t hold a candle to them. RIP to all the late greats of comedy. We miss you 😢

With the great Robert Morley... was an excellent character actor.
I love all the stage sets and props. So much hard work gone into the design and making of them just for a short skit. I wish we still had comedy like this.

The synchronised dance routine was hilarious… & much more difficult to execute than they made it look! 👏😊
Wonderful to see Eric and Ernie enjoying themselves in one of the best plays wat Ernie rote!
It became a real accolade for so many top actors and entertainers to appear with Eric and Ernie over the years. Just shows how popular they were, as were their shows.
Still miss them after all these years. Thank you M & W for all the memories, all the laughs that are still funny today.

This was the sketch that introduced Eric & Ernie's dancing walk. They used it for the rest of their TV career, and for a while it became a part of British culture. To some of us of a certain age, it still is!
Morley is having an uphill battlewith wise trying so hard to be serious
I like a good Morecambe and Wise tale.
Seeing this now in HD quality, You can see why the BBC used the most expensive Tv Cameras available, so on the Tv Sets of the future, it would look like it was recorded yesterday. 👍🏻😀

Just pure comedy
The best part about it is that Ernie just absolutely loves Eric.
The great Robert Morley brought low.
I can remember back in the late sixties and early seventies when we were kids, the Xmas shows, my dad pissing himself laughing.
"I'm leaning on a Pharaoh at the corner of the Nile" sounds better in A, btw.
(Dad joke # 24, 572) Q: How do you gain entry into a pyramid? A: You toot an’ come in! (Tutankhamen?) 😁👍
He got his socks on.
They should have redone this sketch in the late ‘70’s - and when they open the tomb... ...out pops Steve Martin doing his King Tut number!
Comedy at it's best.
Incomparable.
Classic funny and clever
Great Robert Morley in this.
It's hilarious !!! Eric even works the Waiter's mistake into the Script @2:25 - "Would You BLIKE to buy a nice Hookah...???" 😆
He kept his socks on!
The cigarette lighter is very funny!
This show is neat!
It has recently been suggested that the artefacts in the tomb of king tut were smeared with toxic substances. These substances may have killed lord Carnarvon and others.

@TheRenaissanceman65 OK, try this. I was *_Wise,_* or rather _wise,_ (as in _earnest_ ) to what you posted _after_ I'd posted rather less _earnestly_ in reply to you. In essence I meant that I'd understood your response and I replied playing on the word _wise._ The difference I was underlining _originally_ was that *Shakespeare,* whose use of language I truly admire, would probably _never_ have used the facetious locution that *Ernie,* who I also admire, famously did (though I suspect it was *Eric's* idea - and I admire _him_ even more). *_Pterry_* would have known what I meant as would *P. G. Wodehouse* but, as I said, it's rather elliptical.

@TheRenaissanceman65 No. *Ernie* wrote many plays that are lost to history, attributed to such as *De Vere,* and many others that I know not wot of. Perhaps you could elucidate further. As I recall it *Ernie* wrote *_Macbeth,_* a truly wondrous play. Did he also write *_Loves' Labours Lost,_* a great political play according to *Barry Cryer?* *_ISIRTA_* nearly _rools_ but *_ISIHAC_* went further - but maybe only in _my_ opinion!
the thing is nobody actually went looking for tutankhamun as nobody knew who he was until after his tomb was discovered...
