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?

Re: Two Ronnies -v- Morecambe and Wise
it has got to be the two Ronnies....some of their stuff was daft, but some of it was very clever.

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