Two Ronnies -v- Morecambe and Wise
 

Eric and Ernie were very, very funny but I think the 2 Ronnies were funnier. Their sketches, mostly written by Ronnie Barker, were so diverse and so clever and their "musical" ones were superb. I think Barker and Corbett, together, were under-rated comic geniuses. Which double act do you prefer?

it has got to be the two Ronnies....some of their stuff was daft, but some of it was very clever.

The Two Ronnies for me...Love the Four Candles sketch :D

Re: Two Ronnies -v- Morecambe and Wise
 

I remember the two Ronnies more than I do the other couple .... and they were really funny .... timeless humor.

Re: Two Ronnies -v- Morecambe and Wise
 

I don't believe that Barker and Corbett were under-rated at all.

For me, both sets of comedians were excellent in their own fields.

Re: Two Ronnies -v- Morecambe and Wise
 

So you think they get the recognition they deserve?

Re: Two Ronnies -v- Morecambe and Wise
 

I liked them all pity we don't have similar talent today!!!

Re: Two Ronnies -v- Morecambe and Wise
 

Certainly. They are held in high regard and get regular repeats on various channels. Their 'fork handles' sketch was voted the best comedy sketch of all time. What higher recognition is there?

Re: Two Ronnies -v- Morecambe and Wise
 

I think we do, it's just different. Comedy has moved on. It's had to.

Re: Two Ronnies -v- Morecambe and Wise
 

I know what you mean but the popular vote always seems to go to Morecambe and Wise. I think Ronnie Barker was the most versatile comic actor, certainly in the last 50 years, and Ronnie Corbett was so professional in everything he did. Superb!

Re: Two Ronnies -v- Morecambe and Wise
 

Yes suppose this is true.

Re: Two Ronnies -v- Morecambe and Wise
 

Morecambe and Wise for me, every time.

Re: Two Ronnies -v- Morecambe and Wise
 

me too, love em, thought ronnie barker was brilliant though, not a big corbett fan.

Re: Two Ronnies -v- Morecambe and Wise
 

Eric and Ernie brought me sunshine - Two Ronnies lit up my life with four candles.

Re: Two Ronnies -v- Morecambe and Wise
 

Both are brilliant but Eric Morecambe has the edge for me because he could be spontaneously funny without a script.
