The voice... The elaboration in his sentences... The little features... Is anyone else with me?

No Ronnie Corbett was funny.

MadForlt · 25/11/2017 20:21

Don't see it, sorry

RainbowPastel · 25/11/2017 20:21

No nothing like him.

What @ginghambox said.

MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 25/11/2017 20:22

Eugh Ronnie’s not even been dead that long.

Poor taste op :(

Quickchange1 · 25/11/2017 20:24

butterfly56 · 25/11/2017 20:45

Absolutely nothing like Ronnie Corbett...Ronnie was extremely funny and a genuinely nice fella!

Floellabumbags · 25/11/2017 20:57

Arse in parsley OP

asmuchuseasachocolatefireguard · 25/11/2017 20:58

I don't like Michael McIntyre everyone else finds him funny but I don't get him at all.

The Two Ronnies were comedy gold. Fork handles.

NoWordForFluffy · 25/11/2017 20:59

is that Danny Dyers mum/girlfriend???

I've been wondering that!

CherryChasingDotMuncher · 25/11/2017 21:00

I don't see it TBH.

I don't think the two Ronnies were at all funny, but I love Michael McIntyre .

Lol at "in poor taste". How is comparing two similar acts poor taste Confused

Sparklingbrook · 25/11/2017 21:01

No. Ronnie Corbett was hilarious, and a legend.

UrsulaPandress · 25/11/2017 21:02

He's a bit in yer face.

Ronnie was fab.

Auldspinster · 25/11/2017 21:03

No Ronnie Corbett was hilarious and Michael McIntyre is as amusing as smallpox.

TotemIcePole · 25/11/2017 21:05

Wife & 2 of his children.

toffee1000 · 25/11/2017 21:05

They’re not similar!! The Two Ronnies was a double act and Michael McIntyre has always been on his own. Two Ronnies did sketches, Michael doesn’t do them.

Braceface · 25/11/2017 21:09

That's Danny dyers mum surely?

Love the little boy singing.

HemanOrSheRa · 25/11/2017 21:12

Nooooooo. Ronnie Corbett was a comedy legend. The Two Ronnies were EPIC Saturday night comedy entertainment.

nearly250parkuns · 25/11/2017 21:48

I think Michael McIntyre is very funny - and I love the send to all feature.

The "comedian" is never funny though. Last week I didn't crack a smile and I didn't this week either.

Sgtmajormummy · 25/11/2017 21:52

I can see it, OP.
Not that I find/found either of them very funny.

Sgtmajormummy · 25/11/2017 21:53

Ronnie Barker OTOH was a genius.

SoupDragon · 25/11/2017 21:57

I think they share similar mannerisms, yes.

HildaZelda · 25/11/2017 21:57

I always thought Ronnie Corbett was a bit creepy to be honest. I liked Ronnie Barker though.

SoupDragon · 25/11/2017 21:59

I don't actually think Ronnie Corbett was great on his own although the two ronnies were marvellous.

BackforGood · 25/11/2017 22:31

I get what you mean OP.
Aiming for the same kind of 'market' if you like.
Both quite funny at times, but you'd not want to pay good money to see them do a whole show.
