Tommy Cooper was always just funny, offending nobody and entertaining all
Very well put sir,
I will never tire of his humour and highly polished performances.
I like the fact he used to put a teabag in his taxi drivers breast pocket and say
"Have a drink on me"
🤣
I’m sure some would get offended because he wears a Fez, not because they should be, but on behalf of others
@@markmarkie1950 I heard a story about Ken Dodd using the Tea Bag stunt as well 🤣🤣.
@@stephensmith4480 did he?
No doddy ! 🤣
Not true, my Nan hated him. I don’t know why, I don’t know how he offended but as he came on the screen she would out the room. 😱
Once saw him have the audience in stitches for a couple of minutes just trying to get on stage from behind the curtain. He was genuinely much loved in the UK.
That may or may not have been part of the act tbf. Never could tell with Tommy.
Absolutely, I saw him at the sandown pier theatre on the Isle of Wight in the late 70s I think , could have been a tad later but yes the first few minutes of the routine you could hear him behind the scenes being lost and not being able to find his way to the stage.
I read chubby browns book and he said that bit was when tommy got in late and his son would do the curtain while he was getting changed. Genius is too small a word for Tommy Cooper.
I saw the very same thing when I saw him at the Heart of the Midlands in Nottingham ,he had the whole place in stitches and no one had seen him !!! He was priceless RIP Tommy.
Ironically he was actually a good magician it was just funnier with him pretending to be bad at it, sometimes he actually performed some really good magic and that would completely throw the audience what a legend
Yeah the trick with the Martini bottles springs to mind, that was fantastic.
I feel so nervous tonight, I might get a trick right.
Bit like Les Dawson who was actually a very good Piano player but you wouldn't have thought so,we've been lucky in the UK too grow up with some of the very best
@@mcborge1 yup, totally scuffed and hilarious all the way, then out of no where just soooo many. Legend
Indeed. Cooper was a member of 'The Magic Circle', a British club for professional magicians.
Of that generation of comedians, he was one of the most beloved by the British public, just had funny bones, one of the greatest clowns who ever lived and he is still much missed!
You give any Brit over a certain age a Fez hat and they will immediately do a very bad impression of him. People used to start laughing as soon as he walked on stage, one of the true comedy legends
He did an interview where he talks about going to a Moroccan market, and asking for a fez.
The trader put it on Tommy's head and went, "Hahaha! Just like that!"
Tommy said, "What did you do that for?"
The trader said, "I don't really know. It's just something the English always do."
@@slayerrocks2 Someone beat me to this comment I see, fair play :)
Out a fez on them and they'll do an impression just like that
@@slayerrocks2 I saw that interview. Everything Tommy did or said managed to be hilarious.
You should watch the bottle trick and the rabbit out of the hat by tommy cooper.
He was so funny and unpredictable that when he died.. On stage, at a Live TV event watched by millions including myself. We all thought it was part of the act.. They brought the curtain down and his feet stuck out, so the audience kept laughing.. It was a strange surreal Joyous and tragic moment.. RIP Tommy..
I remember watching that.
Was watching that show as well,no one knew what was going on very shocked when we found out he had died he had rare talent..
he made people laugh i think he would have appreciated knowing people found him funny even in such a shocking moment
I remember that too, the Royal Variety Performance. Everyone thought it was part of the act.
HRHtheDude It wasn't the Royal Variety Performance.
The routine where he tells a story, whilst changing hats, for each character, is one of the funniest things known to man.
I was going to suggest the same one. Pure genius
Yep, the hat story has to be seen. Did it all his working life, yet never failed to be hilarious!
I'm lucky as I grew up in the 70's, with him, Morecambe and Wise, Les Dawson etc. He was a great magician, and was in the MAgic Circle, so he knew how to perform tricks. His act was brilliant , as he played the worst magician and joker. He gave some one a tip, putting it in the guys top pocket, and said," have a drink on me". The guy discovered it was a tea bag!
Les Dawson lived down the road from my old school. An unremarkable house in Unsworth. For a genius, it always made me feel sad. (Him, not me...)
ukp42, Me To I Grew Up In The 1970's Do You Remember The Goodies And Mike Yarwood, When He Said About,. Denise Healy, " He's Stopped Being A Sliiy Billy He's A Chunky Punky" Denise Healy Was Said Wetting Him Self With Laughter,.
I understand that the tea bag was given to a London cabbie.
The tea bag in the pocket, that was his trademark when taking a taxi anywhere.
Tommy Cooper made me laugh just by walking on before he even did anything. It was comedy he whole family could sit down to watch without fear of innuendo.
@Sim Sim I don’t fear innuendo for my own viewing but am extremely careful what my grandchildren watch
I was fortunate to see him live once and he got myself and the whole audience in stitches before even
got on stage.
He was so talented. Their will never be anyone like him again. Thanks for the reaction. 👍
His father invented the burglar alarm but someone stole it. He was so funny. RIP big man
A woman on the radio told a story about how her dad was a taxi driver and he gave Tommy Cooper a lift. When Tommy got out he put something in her dad's hand and said get yourself a drink. When Tommy walked off her dad looked in his hand and there was a teabag in it.
Tommy Cooper was one of the first "magicians" to show how a trick was done but he never ruined the illusion for us watching. Missed dearly by those old enough to remember watching him as we grew up. Thank you for the video :)
Britain's #1 of the 20th century. Never heard anyone of my parents age not 100% love Tommy Cooper. His interview with Michael Parkinson where he walks out with a saucepan on his head was one of the best I've seen.
He Was a member of the magic circle and a exceptional entertainer.
He died on the stage and he died doing what he loved…making people laugh.
What a way to go!!
Tommy just had a natural ability to make you laugh. My parents went to see him live In Oldham and all he did for 5 minutes was walk in and out of a garden gate on stage and people were doubled over howling and crying with laughter.
That made me laugh imagining it.
Bit of a grim fact he died on stage.His assistant put a robe on him for his next part and he collapsed into a sitting position breathing heaverly.The crowd laughed thinking it was part of the act but it wasn't he was having a massive heart attack.He got rushed to the hospital where they instantly pronounced him dead.
Rip tommy cooper 😢
I think it was his manager backstage who realised something was wrong and dragged him under the curtain. He tried to keep him alive until the ambulance arrived. The whole things online. I watched it just out of curiosity. I don't get any kicks from it just wanted to see for myself.
@@MaNNeRz91 I watched it live on TV. Once they realised something was wrong they cut to commercial.
Vividly remember watching it live on tv as a kid.
That was sad, I was a kid and I was laughing so hard and next day I felt so guilty,as a great performer I imagine if you are due to go then to laughter I hope is what he would of wanted. To the legend Tommy Cooper RIP✌️♥️
I was watching it live just before going to meet some mates for a drink. Knew something wasn't right because he never did "falling over" jokes and they cut to commercial.
I walked in the pub and I asked if anyone had seen it.
"He's died", somebody said.
We were gutted.
Somebody else asked how he died.
A mate looked up and said, "just like that" in his best Tommy Cooper voice.
Tommy gave us a laugh, even in death.
I remember watching Tommy Cooper when he died on stage. We all thought it was part of his act until we realised. RIP Tommy. You were much loved 🇬🇧
I remember that, too. I was only 8, I used to lie on the floor quite close to the set, I turned to my parents with a face like "Is that it?" because it's a weird way to end to an act, I remember my father saying he was suspicious that was not supposed to happen, but the audience laughed when his legs disappeared under the curtain and the show continued as if nothing happened. Then the news followed and announced his collapse we couldn't believe it.
Still is.
Such a wonderfully infectious giggle he had - and you heard his famous catch phrase in this - 'Not like that, Like this'. Gentle gorgeous humour - much missed
Tommy Cooper is a British comic icon! And unknowingly to alot of people... he was actually a world level magician.
Tommy never failed to make me laugh.
Was much loved by people in the UK.
I had the honour of seeing Tommy live in Birmingham some 40 years ago now. He was so funny he had us in stitches. No vulgarity just a comic genius.
Ahh the late great Tommy. Loved him as a kid and still do, still remember his final performance. For me, the bottle trick is the one. He son [who is identical to him] still does it to this day. What isn't always clear from clips is the size of the man, he was huge! Such a gentle soul.
I remember once that there was a completely dark stage all of a sudden you seen him light a cigarette lighter and with that small beam of light he gave out that laugh he always did . And the audience just fell about laughing . That's all it was a beam of light and his laugh . Comic genius
My late Dad’s favourite ever comedian. He just had to stand there and the laughter would begin……. that’s Tommy, not my Dad.
He was the greatest. I miss him. He could just stand there and not talk and he has me in stitches 😂
Spike Milligan The Irish Olympics You'll laugh all the way through and its good timing for the upcoming Olympics
Spike is a Genius...
He was a really great magician! He always made it look like he didn’t know what he was doing, but he really did! Brilliant talented funny man!
Telling the story with the box of hats is brilliant.
We loved Tommy..such a goofball and good magician and had his own TV show on at prime time for many years.
I watched this spoon jar routine on TV like 15+ years ago and it had never failed to make me laugh. The guy could walk on stage and people would be cracking up. Naturally funny and a big goof. Shame I wasn’t round in his day but thank goodness for TH-cam!
You should also check out Les Dawson,i defy you not to be laughing within seconds!
“A 5 year old could do this trick………I wish he was here now”
He only just has to stand still & people laugh, he doesn't have to say or do anything.😂👌 A Legend.👌
As a 47 year old Brit who grew up with and has loved Tommy Cooper since before I can remember, and whose favourite EVER comedic bit of all-time is 'Spoon Jar-Jar Spoon' (it's sheer perfection), it makes my internal organs warmly glow and gives me hope seeing people from around the world discover and fall in love with the spirit and memory of this truly unique and wonderful man, Tommy Cooper, and one of his many clever, pure and wholesome comedic masterpieces.
He only had to walk on stage and people would start laughing. I remember watching him with my Mum and Dad when he died live on TV. It was quite a shock, as others have said everyone thought it was part of his act. There is a great documentary about him if you manage to find it.
Tommy was a Welsh Guardsman and kept his billet in fits !
Tommy Cooper was a true legend & he was infamous for he could drink anyone under the table! 😂🇬🇧👍
My Mum went to see him with friends at Batley Variety Club in Yorkshire England. He didn't have to say anything. As soon as he walked on stage everyone was laughing.
Remember reading his book when i was 15, had already been a fan for years. He was magic.
One of the best old time comedians the uk ever produced.
Naturally funny. Sadly died on stage in front of a full audience.
I saw a clip of him giving a speech at a big variety dinner, he got up and just looked around like he does and the whole room was helpless in laughter for several minutes such was his amazing comedy timing and way he had with the audience. He did speak eventually.
Tommy Cooper! The man never died on stage…..until he did.😂😂😂. Man! That man was hilarious. Just stand and look confused.😂😂😂The tea bag tip…killer. Do you want a tip? Don’t back horses!
My nana laughed just looking at him and he didn't even have to say anything. He was a fantastic comic and a great slight of hand magician. Top class was Tommy.
Classic. Thanks for showing this one. My personal favorite.
I remember when he died, it was televised, he felt unwell, you saw him collapse just behind the curtain and "Just Like That" we lost a legend. Very much loved in the UK.
Tommy Cooper genius. Love it how you love our stuff 🏴
EB did you know Tommy was Welsh born about 10 miles from where i live... ABSOLUTE LEDGEND
When he passed away and they did interviews and showed clips etc I think it was Barry Crier (he wrote for all the comedians of the time) said he was flown out to the States to show the studio bosses his routine and the stage manager was really concerned that his magic was going wrong and or was obvious ,they just couldn't see the humorous side of it intentionally going wrong.
The shock at him dying on live tv put the nation into mourning for this great comedian.
His brother used to own a Joke Shop in Slough High Street. I used to pop in there when I was a kid. He was the spitting image of Tommy.
Tommy Cooper could make people laugh just by looking at the audience. Anthony Hopkins is wonderful at impersonating him . Simply a giant .
Loved watching Tommi Cooper as a kid .Always the best 1s leave us to early. I remember watching him on tv as a kid as he collapsed .The sad but also the best bit was everyone was in stitches as they thought it was part of the act .Thats what made him as he was so funny and unpredictable .Sadly he had had a heart attack and died back stage.
What away to go but he did what he did best and that was to make people laugh .
R.I.P Tommi Cooper .you were and absalute legend and still are in memory ❤️
I grew up with Tommy during the 60's. Loved him!
I’m from Caerphilly in South Wales 🏴 Tommy was born here and there is an amazing statue of him opposite Caerphilly Castle that was unveiled by Sir Anthony Hopkins
It is so simplistic but so excellently done you end up crying with laughter!!!
Tommy Cooper was a legend .... he was also a member of the Magic Circle
Tommy’s comedy timing was superb.
The Great TC 🤣🤣 a natural standup comedian. One of the best.
I live ten minutes away from where Tommy was born. My sister lives in Tommy Cooper's aunties house. Legend for his time 👌
Glad you're having a laugh, we were brought up on his humour and often recited his words when juggling that spoon.
I absolutely love that you enjoy vintage British comedy so much, I always like to see your reactions
My favourite TC story, he fell asleep standing up while on guard duty, in the Army, opened his eyes to see an officer stood in front of him,,,,the first word out of Tommy's mouth,, AMEN.
So funny, I had to watch it twice, brilliant
Tommy Cooper Comedy Genius
Hilarious 🤣😂 Love Your Laughter
From Your UK 🇬🇧 Fan Base Millions
Love You 💘
At a Royal Command performance he was in the line up to meet the Queen, when they were introduced he asked the Queen if he could ask a personal question, the rest of the line up held their breath and she said as personal as I will allow, he asked "Do you like football", she answered "not particularly" he responded by asking for her cup final tickets, a match she would attend as the monarch.
One of the funniest men ever to grace the stage, a true family entertainer.
Isn't it great to have comedians you can watch with the kids. No language or aggression - just a bit of fun. :-)
Cheers EB, just for what your doing, puts a smile on my face every time.
Appreciate it. 🤛
He was daft af and we loved him for it. Rip Tommy. You were a legend
I love this one.
Simplicity with a lot of deep thought behind it.
Its lovely to see your spontainious reaction to such kind and innocent fun
A friend of my dad's saw him live and Tommy spent the first 15 minutes pretending he was locked in the dressing room and, when he got out, couldn't find the stage. By the time he actually appeared in front of the audience, it was 15 minutes later and everyone was crying with laughter.
Grew up watching Tommy Cooper,legend.
What a great guy he was. Can you watch Les Dawson playing the piano, another old British comic🙂
Les' version of "Feelings" was amazing in his delivery :D
@@tommy5675 Very true, you have to be brilliant to do something badly so well 🙂
Tommy Cooper was fantastic a brilliant magician and comedian :)
Been meaning to post on here in ages, love the stuff you do. By far the best reaction channel on TH-cam. Always wondered what Americans thought of UK comedy etc prior to the days of TH-cam because very few of our shows made it over there. Channels like this give me that insight :)
Growing up in the 60’s and 70’s you were surrounded by comic genius in all forms, but Tommy Cooper just had to appear! Actually he was a paid-up member of The Magic Circle, so was a proper magician. Thing is he worked out that making people laugh was more fun.
Tommy was proof that you didn't need to be crass and offensive to bring joy into this world.
He's as daft as a brush! as my mum would say! Such a sweet gentle man and soo funny!
A great comedian and magician. Died on stage doing what he loved
Genuine laughs from the guy watching, not fake reactions for the camera
Tommy's brother used to have a joke shop in Slough here in the UK as kids we used go and buy things like laughing bags, itching powder and whoopee cushions .
On 15 April 1984, Cooper died at the age of 63 after suffering a heart attack on live television. Great comedian it's so sad and sadly missed we used to watch him all the time
they say he spent hours perfecting the tricks, that you what he was doing, but to get the timing right, true legend of that era
I had the immense pleasure of growing up watching Tommy on a Saturday night, doing this kinda stuff, unfortunately some of your American buddies didn't get the joke,! They said that he was a magician who's tricks failed 😳 I so glad you have seen the brilliance of the man. Dare I say a British sence of humour,👍 Tommy put a smile on our faces and kept it their for as long as he wanted, he passed away with his boots on, as they say, he collapsed and died in the middle of one of his shows, the audience though it was part of his act and laughed heartily, somehow I think Tommy wouldn't have wanted it any other way! 😁
Tommy Cooper was the funniest man of all time.
He only had to walk on stage for the audience to break up in laughter.
He cracks me up always.
My Mam went to see him live with some friends once. She actually wasn't really a fan but went along for a girls night out. She said it was the funniest show she had ever seem. He did a thing where he pretended to be stuck in the dressing room with his mike on. He didn't get on stage for 20 mins or so and by the time he got on stage everyone was on the floor unable to breathe. He had barely said a few sentences in all that time and none of them were one liners just him stuck in his dressing room. :)
You said it, we just don't get good clean comedy anymore. Tommy had some great 'one liners' like, 'My teeth itch!' & 'I'm good to my wife, I never go home'. Always good to watch.
his comic timing was on another level.
He was in a market in the Middle East once and saw a stall selling Fezzes (I forget where so, depending on where he was, it might have been selling Tarbooshes which are very similar). He stopped to look and the proprietor waved his hands as if performing a magic trick and said, "Just like that!" in the time honoured fashion of anyone and everyone who does a Tommy Cooper impression no matter how good or bad. This surprised Cooper who hadn't expected to be recognized but it emerged that the stall owner didn't know him from Adam- it was just that every British tourist who saw his wares would put on a fez then do that.
He was so great. A natural.
The best. Saw him live and was in stitches
He would sign autographs with his own pen, then give the pen and book back. The pen had printed on it the words "This pen was stolen from Tommy Cooper. " I had one that he gave to me but lost it years ago. He was a genuinely nice man.
Spoon, jar jar spoon. Tommy Cooper, the magician able to make Jar Jar likeable.
A sad day when Tommy left us, a unique treasure.
Check out Tommy telling a story using various hats, or when he plays the part of a British army officer and a German officer at the same time.....both brilliant sketches!
EB,never have I heard someone sum up the legend Tommy Cooper perfectly like you 'goofy and affable' spot on funny and friendly no offensive material just damn silly and at times unbelievably skilled with his magic tricks,you cannot please everyone all of the time but I defy anyone not to crack at least a smile. My favourite of his was when people started laughing he would say ' what's happened?has somebody else come on' would love to see more. Thanks EB, RIP Tommy Cooper🙏♥️
Tommy was the creed of entertainers when you and I were young boys. The world was a different place and I do miss it. It has become... harsher.
