Morecambe and Wise for More Joy Day

[marycrawford]

I haven't been very fannishly creative lately, and I hadn't a clue what to post for sdwolfpup's excellent invention, More Joy Day, until I bethought me of two gents who always make me smile:

Morecambe and Wise. A classic British comedy duo whom I sadly missed out on when they were on TV, several decades ago, but they are still pure awesome, and some of their best work is on YouTube.

First, the Breakfast Sketch! I love this so much and have watched it about twenty times, and still it never fails to make me smile. They're just having so much fun. And for vidders, this is an excellent example of how to time things to music...

And then there's this glorious bit, where they act as backing chorus to a very young and hirsute Tom Jones:

Enjoy!

Thank you for posting these! I'd heard of Morecambe and Wise, but had never actually seen them, and both videos cracked me up. They're really good at gradually accelerating the pace, bit by bit, until by the end they're totally FLINGING themselves around.

Yes! They really know how to ramp it up physically so things just get funnier. In fact they remind me a lot of the Muppets trying to derail a performer, heh.
