Tommy and Bobby - Bobby and tommy we know them so well. when did you last laugh at them?

When I was about 8

Never. Id like to say that they had me rolling on the floor in hysterical fits of laughter but I cant.
Ive seen funnier assassinations.

To me!

To you!

To me!

Classic stuff!

when they were in the jungle on a tightrope

Never have. Were they supposed to be comedians or something?

To me!

I've done better! :hihi:

I used to think the little one was funny, Bobby Ball.. Forgive me I was only about 7 in those days :shocked:

Then again, I'm 31 now and reckon Basil Brush is PMSL hilarious! Ha ha ha! Boom Boom! :lol:

in 1999 when i was working at butlins and they were on. saw them 12 weeks in a row and they were funny every single week.

same applies to bobby davro and little and large they were all on at butlins and were funny every week

Im not a big fan. I would rather have the stand up comedians like Les Dawson.

I've laughed more at pancreatic cancer :|

They tried hard enough but I always felt let down in comparison to say M & W

I laughed at them a few weeks ago when I saw them doing double glazing adverts.

Not because they were being funny (I don't think they ever were), just because of what they have been reduced to.

12 weeks of of C&B, Bobby Davro and Little&Large - by gum you should have perole long before then.:hihi:

When were they last on TV ?

Apart from I'm a Celebrity, they were in Last of The Summer Wine in 2005.

The Swan Man of Ilkley!

"Lauge me a laugh,
grin me a grin"

remember?

"When did you last laugh at Cannon & Ball?"

When I saw this:

15th January 1989.

Why do you ask?

Cannon and Ball sounds like the name of a dodgy pub to me... maybe that's what they are doing these days :D

"You little liar Tommy!" solid gold comedy.

I always thought it was amazing that two people with those surnames met each other in the first place. I mean, what are the odds of that?

It just wouldn't have sounded the same if it was Cannon & Smith or something similar. :wink:

When I was a little kid, circa 1990. Me, my mum and my dad went to see them in Blackpool on the north pier.

We were on the front row, and my dad was petrified about being called up onto the stage. He had a close shave when Bobby said they needed a woman volunteer; my dad still had quite long hair at this stage and was asked up, and then Bobby immediately said, "Oh sorry, sir..."

I think that made me laugh. Probably. I was six...

They made me laugh the last time I saw them.

Cannon said to Ball,

" Hey why did the chicken cross the road ? "

Ball replied, " I don't know. Why DID the chicken cross the road ? "

Cannon said.............wait for it.......

" To get to the other side " !!

I thought this was hilarious and tears rolled down my cheeks and I had to cling to a chair to prevent falling to the floor in hysterics. My other favourites are the wonderful Krankies and that ever-topical Ben Elton with his screamingly funny anti-American jokes. Ho Ho Ho Ha Ha Ha .

Cheese and Onion - now that was an act. Never quite as big as Tommy and Bobby but did make Opportunity Knocks or soemthing similar.
