Agree, but the Two Ronnies weren't decapitating guests and eating their innards or selling guns to terrorists or shooting each other in the head with barely a 'gosh' or 'darn' between them.
and IMHO the classic 'Fork handles' sketch would be funnier if Corbett had told Barker to 'Fork off' as a punchline...
