to have chuckled when the lady in the card shop asked for.......

[phantomnamechanger]

OK, so i was in the card shop, the customer in front of me asks for "a four candle" - i chuckle and say "I've never heard that in real life, it's like the 2 Ronnies!"

blank stares from both customer and shop assistant.
Had to try to explain the word play involved - neither of them even seem to have heard of the 2 Ronnies never mind the flippin hilarious sketch to which I was referring.

Maybe I am just ancient.
Still, I went on my way still chuckling to myself about it.

[Kinora]

I love that sketch

[Itfinallyhappened]

I'd have laughed too and I'm 28 so nothing to do with being ancient (I hope!)

[purplewednesday]

Am chuckling reading this.

Maybe its our age. The fact neither of them knew what you were on about is even funnier!

[HissyByName]

Oh awesome! I'd have howled laughing!

[SoleSource]

I get the joke :) but what is a four candle?

[Alliwantisaroomsomewhere]

I think it is even funnier them not knowing what you were on about!

[StaceymReadyForNumber3]

Not an age thing I'm 25 and I'd have found it hilarious!

[QOD]

Got any O's?

[phantomnamechanger]

The fact neither of them knew what you were on about is even funnier!

Not at the time! I wanted the ground to open up - they thought I was a madwoman from planet loopy!

[glamourousgranny42]

I would have said the same thing! I love that sketch and its always being repeated in our house. Got any O's? Hahaha

[Flisspaps]

Sole I'm guessing a candle shaped like the number 4

[QOD]

Four candle - a candle in the shape of a 4

Fork Handle - new handle for garden equipment

[steppemum]

I tried to explain this to ds because he loves word puns. He looked blank, keep meaning to google it for him

still one of the funniest sketches ever made

[phantomnamechanger]

SS - it's a candle in the shape of a 4 for a 4 yo birthday cake - they are on a rack behind the till

[LST]

I'd have laughed and I'm 22!

[Sparklingbrook]

[MrsApplepants]

Brilliant, still laugh about that sketch now, one of the funniest ever. Even funnier that the shop assistant didn't get it!!

[AGoldenOrange]

I'm 28 and now looking like this

[KenDoddsDadsDog]

F U N E M?

[KenLeeeeeee]

YANBU, I love that sketch. Has me in stitches every time (I'm 28 btw!).

[StetsonsAreCool]

I'm 28 and roaring at a) the joke and b) picturing their baffled faces when they didn't get it.

Any Os....

[StetsonsAreCool]

Ken, I was about to say F U N E X

[fizzybeerandsausages]

YANBU It's a brilliant sketch. Last year I bought these for a friend who absolutely loves that sketch.
