cobra_gordo Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 This is my favourite ever Two Ronnies sketch. It's criminally unknown but gets regularly quoted in our house. Ronnie Barker is typically smooth as silk with the word play stuff here.  More evidence that Bill Hader is a genius.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, you want to talk about the genius of Bill Hader and not include a clip of Stefan? Madness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's something really subtly evil about his character in the clip I posted though. There's so many great Bill Hader clips though, he's brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted October 9, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted October 9, 2020 Ronnie Barker's wordplay and verbal dexterity was a wonderful thing to behold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The phrase A Vu N E X is something I repeat whenever any mention of Eggs is made in the house much to the dumbfounding of my daughter and annoyance of my wife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We use S.I.L.L.Y.C.O.W far too often aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know when him and John Mulaney did Stefan skits, that John would not allow Hader to read the autocue in advance, so everyone of those spiels he is reading live for the first time.

Paid Members gmoney Posted October 9, 2020 Author Paid Members Share Posted October 9, 2020 That's not quite true, Mulaney would change some of the wording from the rehearsal. You can tell what's been changed as Hader cracks up every time he gets to one he's not read before.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
