My best mate and me watched this religiously when we were down in the dumps and it never failed to make us laugh RIP Clint I miss you mate 😢

These two were the greatest team.

Nothing ever comes along as good as this

It's never any less funny with each subsequent viewing. RIP two very funny men.

Great comedy from the brilliant two Ronnie's. Timeless classics 🤣.

At Ronnie's funeral his coffin was surrounded by 4 candles.

You can watch this sketch a hundred plus times... you know it's coming but, you start smiling "plugs...what size do you want...? 13 amp...!" And still we laugh, it must be me but so little comedy today gets me like this does.

Harry Enfield's tribute with Ronnie Corbett was equally brilliant. And a respectful tribute to the great man too.

The funniest comedy duo ever . Ronnie Barker is a genius. Perfect timing Ronnie Corbett compliments him . Best comedy sketch ✍️ ever written 😂. Classic.

This may be the best tv comedy sketch in the world ever! I bet many hours of work went into making just a few minutes of classic television comedy.

Most of time. Sometimes it comes as fast as the sketch itself takes to film, but usually it does require that much effort indeed.

I remember watching the two Ronnie's way back. Fond memories of mom and dad laughing so much at the sketches. (Me too). These guys were top of Thier trade no swearing no cynical jibes no nastyness.just pure innocent fun delivered with a skill few of today's comics would dream of. I appreciate the fact that times and values have moved on and changed. But does some comedy have to be so brutal. God bless you two guys you we're part of my life then and still are now.

Fantastic

I love this sketch. Brilliant !!!!

Absolutely brilliant 👏

Ronnie Corbett, gradually getting more and more agitated. Brilliant timing!

Always one of the great lines. Just shared the video

13 amp gets me every time

My tummy is aching, laughing so much

Absolute classic

Love Ronnie B's jumper. I'm sure I had one like that, and now I realise I prematurely discarded it.

There's bound to have been or still is either customer or shop assistant like these guys. Always looked forward to a Saturday night for Ronnie C & B. They don't make comedy like this these days.

Oh my God its harry mcguire . Four candles 🤣😂😅

I don’t think there are many shops nowadays where you can buy candles individually. Normally they are already in packs of 2 or more

Some of the bits are word for word theft from Abbott & Costello. The others are from the concepts, such as the few meanings of the words.. It’s classic Abbott & Costello routines.

It sounds like to me when he goes back up the ladder to get the Ps he says "I'm up and down the shop all F'ing week.... but that can't be what he says....although he would be thinking it!

"Bollocks" was not permitted to be spoken on TV or radio back then. That's why innuendo in comedy worked as well as it did. Ronnie Barker absolutely loved wordplay, you only have to look at his many Rev'd Spooner sketches, and the "Pismonunciation" skits, and his vicar of St. Cain and Abel with the sermon in rhyming slang. Barker's writing worked on assumed knowledge and not all-out crudeness, so in that sense it was intelligent comedy. And because of what wasn't allowed to be said on TV, a lot of the laughs could be raised by not saying anything at all, and letting the audience imagination do the work. It was all over their opening and closing segments too. One of my favourites was: RC: "The next sketch takes place in a ball-bearing factory, where I play a man who loses his bearings ..." (pause, then lots of audience laughter as the camera pans to RB) RB: "... and I play a man who loses his temper."

For those interested, too late they wished the last drawer had said Knockers.

total classic, of course, but wrong aspect ratio.

Because Sometimes Even The English Can't Understand The English😂

Absolutely brilliant. Just came apart a bit with “bill hooks”, not an obvious joke.

They weren't happy with that ending either.

If you were being pedantic you might ask why a hardware shop would sell panty hose, canned peas and shoes.

If he wants "fork handles" why doesn't he specify how many?!😊 Sorry...
