"Sod off, sod off!", laugh out loud each time. Genius.

A joy to watch when I was a kid! The whole family were crying with laughter with these two geniuses!! Inspired! Love these two to bits!

That's a memory of mine too, watching with family when I was little.

"Your flies and drop dead" creases me up everytime. How all the other dancers kept a straight during that face is amazing

Pure brilliance. The sod off bit always gets me! I miss the Two Ronnies, comedy so much better back then

Bold Sir John has been one of my laugh out loud favorites for years, and now I finally get to see the whole segment. The only shame is clever, witty, humor like this seems to be a lost art now.

Two of the best Comedians on this planet earth 🌏 🌍 🌎

RIP you wonderful men. One of your best, one of my favourites.

Their expressions say everything. A brilliant sketch from the best of British.

I love humour with expressions and this has it all. The two Ronnie's squaring up to each other with looks alone. They so clumsy it's hilarious.

Their timing was brilliant. All these dances must’ve taken a lot of practice. They were so silly and so clever.

Your fly's your fly's your fly's your fly's... haha, gets me everytime.

Wonderful timing and two saves from Ronnie C when Ronnie B's hat came off and when the broken baton stayed on stage

This never gets old. I’m laughing as much now as I did all those years ago when 8 first saw it.

RIP Ronnie Corbett.

Just saw this in a Two Ronnies Sketchbook episode today. They massively cut it to censor it. They cut the entire part of the dance with the woman bent over and they also cut some of the verses (at least one as far as I noticed).

Good clean fun I could watch with my nan and grandad

Oh! bold Sir John was young and fair, And bold Sir John was gay. He said, "I'll tread the morning dew, To take the air and listen to The twittering of the birds all day, The bumblebees at play, The twit, the twit, the twit, the twit, the twittering of the birds all day, The bum, the bum, the bum, the bum, the bumblebees at play." So bold Sir John, he went his way, Observing nature's farce. "Dear Mother Earth, oh! tell me, pray, Why elephants live so long, they say, Your flies live but a day, Then they drop dead upon the grass, Your flies, your flies, your flies, your flies, your flies live but a day, Drop dead, drop dead, drop dead, drop dead, drop dead upon the grass.” Now bold Sir John, he met a maid, As on her back she lay. "Please show respect, and come not near, For I've seen many a maiden here Get lost among the new-mown hay, So doff your hat I pray, Get lost, get lost, get lost, get lost, get lost among the new-mown hay, So doff, so doff, so doff, so doff, so doff your hat, I pray.” When bold Sir John returned home, They gave him gin to try. "Nay, fill me not with liquor up, Nor give me grape nor grain to sup. Pour cowslip's dew into my cup. A puritan am I. Pour cow, pour cow, pour cow, pour cow, pour cowslip’s dew into my cup, A pew, a pew, a pew, a pew, a puritan am I. Pour cow, pour cow, pour cow, pour cowslip’s dew into my cup, A pew, a pew, a pew, a pew, a puritan am I.”

Classic 2 Ronnies with linguistic conundrums, in a song.

How funnie Thank you

I remember watching this as a kid! Couldn't stop laughing at this sketch, though there were some things I didn't understand and my parents didn't explain it as they knew themselves some of it was rude! Haha

Absolute genius!!! Always makes me laugh. Soooooo loved them and the brilliance of Ronnie Barkers writing skills.

Yes, blacks are a small minority in the UK, yet modern TV is getting to the point where most faces are now inexplicably black. Along with feminism, the media seems to have gone insane, and does all it can to insult British heritage, the white race, and traditional Christian values.
