History YMMV / TheTwoRonnies

** In the "Accountant Bore" sketch, the titular character (played by Barker) is mentioned to have two children and another on the way. When Corbett's character says "that's three times you haven't been boring at least!" the accountant mentions that his lady wife "was asleep at the time", which was intended to humorously emphasise how boring he is, but nowadays it [[DudeShesLikeInAComa just sounds like rape.]] It doesn't help that the sketch ends with him grabbing the tea lady and [[QuestionableConsent audibly "making love" to her offscreen.]]

* RetroactiveRecognition: A blonde in a 1986 episode is played by Creator/AndreeBernard, who would later be best known for playing Liz Burton in ''Series/{{Hollyoaks}}''.

* AcceptableEthnicTargets: The two later observed in a documentary that "You can't do 'stupid Irishman' jokes anymore, but you can if you just change them to being about 'yokels', because no-one's going to call in and say 'I'm a yokel and this offends me!' Hence the two yokel characters.

* OnceAcceptableTargets: The second episode of "The Phantom Raspberry Blower of Old London Town" contains a scene involving blackface, and one where Benjamin Disraeli is played as a Jewish stereotype. These were edited out of the 2005 repeat.

* HilariousInHindsight: The show was famously (and controversially) parodied by [[Series/AlasSmithAndJones Mel Smith and Gryff Rhys-Jones]] on ''NotTheNineOClockNews'', who pointed out its over-reliance on double-entendre and a format that had remained unchanged, and rather stale, since 1971. Years later, the Two Ronnies (still popular) came back to present the compilation 'The Two Ronnies Sketchbook'... only to have the format copied by Smith and Jones for 'The Smith and Jones Sketchbook'!
