- The inimitable Dr John Cooper Clarke on the late night chat and music show After Dark (18.12.1982). The intro to 'Temptation' by New Order is playing in the background. In the longer version of this clip a full performance of the song follows: • AFTER DARK: INXS/John ...
I’m reading “I Wanna be Yours” his newly released autobiography. It’s absolutely brilliant! I like to think that I can string a sentence together but I am humbled by how articulate this fella is, his vocabulary is awesome. Just treat yerself and buy it!!!
It’s a wonderful book and a laugh a minute. Best tenner I ever spent. There’s lots that could be not exactly true but wtf.
I’ve almost finished listening to the audiobook which he narrates himself. It’s great.
thanks for the heads up
Off to buy it now😁
@@ex-scientia4234 Where's the audio book that he narrates?
this video is such a vibe with temptation playing, it's like sitting in the pub listening to a mate's story
haha spot on
This!
A proper Pub with no kids or Women. 3 pork pies under glass on the bar. Im in the Tap Room having 4 fags and 5 pints of Mild.
JCC's genius haiku:
To convey one’s mood
In seventeen syllables
Is very diffic
Thanks Johnny.
‘To freeze the moment in seventeen syllables is very diffic’…
Sorry for being pedantic about it is the actual quote 😉
The epitome of the British joke . Took a long time to get there and wasn't really that funny . ( which actually makes it funnier ) .
i thought it was hillarious. i wet myself. there again, i am a brit.
Awww John, did a British joke not want to fuck you or is your sense of humour a bit lacking in general?
Not really, norm Macdonald has a load of jokes in this style
American here, I loved it. Love the Brit’s.
It’s quality. All in the delivery of a truly corny joke. Brilliant. He’s great these days on 8 out of 10 cats countdown. And yeah his biography is a great read.
When I was doing my apprenticeship as a joiner at Salford Tech, John was the storesman who gave you the tools and stuff you needed. He was very funny. I think he used to tell poems over at the Woolpack pub. Listen to his poem on the Telly Tubbies.
Fucking priceless.
John Cooper Clarke should have a Knighthood or a peerage by now.
They only go to TV personalities the queen likes. So Sir Tony Robinson gets one because she liked Time Team. What a joke. (Yeah, she's dead, but you know what I mean.)
@@bobikdylan never heard of this guy. did he ever leave the UK? the Commonwealth would like to know.
genuine git love him
Went to see the guy a few weeks ago. Absolutely superb!! Right up to date humour, blisteringly funny observations.
“ I’m recently divorced.” We shared the family home - - - I got the outside.” 😂😂😂
American comedians were using that joke in the 1950s . Even so , John Cooper Clarke is a legend and he tells a good joke well , even though most of them are ancient , though still funny .
@@ThefightingCelt American comedians?
Thing I like about a reported JCC joke is “ yair kennearim saaaayin it”
Great
@@ThefightingCelt Sam Kinison died years ago......
@@ThefightingCelt No such thing as a new joke ,just depends who can remember the most😀
From a misunderstanding seeing his name scrawled on the bog door at school (I thought it was the name of a fellow inmate) to ten years later my then boss lent me his “10 years in an open necked shirt” poetry collection John has had me pissing myself for 30 years! Here’s to 30 more !
He signed that book for me 'Elvisly Yours' at a gig in Newbury !
@@Exisles the book my boss lent me was called “10 years in an open necked shirt” It’s rarer than rocking horse droppings apparently ! Apparently he doesn’t live round my manchester anymore! He’s in Essex now I’ve heard ! Are you from Newbury then ?
@@nicksmart5469 @Nick Smart Hi there; That's the one I've got & it's an original paperback; I was a teenage werewolf who bought 'Disguise In Love' upon it's release. Learnt all the words.Though being from south of England couldn't do the Manc accent justice, when quoting the great bard ! He died on stage in Newbury 2000. Though I still got to buy him a pint & get the book monikered.
@@Exisles amazing story there. a treasure and a treasured memory. glad for you my freind and likewise to you @Nick Smart
I'll bet you smell like a retirement home.
Love the way he says ‘Catholics’
I thought he was going to say cunts🤣
Love John, Love New Order
My favourite quote from JCC. Home Honey I'm high.
The Double Diamond flowed like sick, The Double Diamond flowed like sick
Mother’s Pride, tortilla and chips
Pneumatic drills when you try to kip
…in Majorca
I've met him a few times and he is without doubt one of the nicest, most gentle and articulate human beings you could ever hope to spend time with.
He is one of my (probably the biggest) heroes.
Great clip! JCC is brilliant. First heard him back in 1977 on the "Streets" compilation album (I still have it). Also nice to see Donnie Sutherland (the host) again. I used to watch his shows religiously.
Such a blokey joke. I don’t think I’ve ever gone into work after a a haircut without all the usual “was he pissed or something?” “When you going backing?” “Did he charge you for that?!” 😂
Ellen DeGeneres look so young here
Its not her.
Pete Marr No shit pete
And thick...
0faewfewa she does indeed
@@petemarr824 there will always be someone who says 'it's not her''. can't you tell a joke when you hear one?
The joke is mildly funny but it's the delivery that makes it golden!
Lol this man is absolutely brilliant. 😂✌👀
Brilliant ! Some people just don't got a sense of humour.
Ooof! Meet the flavoured yoghurt of social commentary. Watch out for this guy!
Donnie Sutherland.
The Legend.
It's all in the delivery.
classic JCC. intellect + humour = Genius
this is fucking genius, only john or norm macdonald could pull this one off.
Great to hear the really, really, really ancient hairdresser joke repeated.....for the god knows how many times......
Brilliant. Lose the music.
Everybody else on that couch was fked! Gurning and zoning out...proper spangled!
JCC had probably been up for 3 days already!
Seen his show two years ago in Dundee,during one of his wonderful rants somebody in the audience did that single clap thing in the wrong place and without skipping a beat he said,save it till the end give me it in a lump sum.True legend
Slow clap as in a protest type thing
John reminds me very much of the late Gary Holton who played Wayne in Auf Weidersehen Pet.
I thought the exact same! 👍
@@dreamliving3858 yes
Ditto!
ha , i saw new order and john cooper clarke at the Palais in Stkilda in about 82 or3, this must be from that tour, the Saints played too
richard finlayson I was there. Quite the lineup
Johnny Cooper Clarke in my recommendations. Nice surprise
The setup is funnier than the punchline, but that’s no bad thing ❤️
Woolwich Polytechnic (now part of the University of Greenwich) used to have a bar in the cellar. One night I was there to see a band (maybe local boys Squeeze). In comes JCC, who was a suuport act. He was totally pissed and made an important announcement. " 'as anyone seen a blue marblette notebook?" Dunno if he found it but he went on and did his thing flawlessly. Must have been about 1980.
Sat beside him in bungies once. Quiet guy. Best poet ever! Stuck in chicken town, prophetic for today
. . . Evidently!🐓🐔
I know this is a bit late but I can't believe bungies is still going I went there in the early seventies
I sat next to Frank Zappa in a London club once in the 70s - and that's my claim to fame.
Remember JCC was the warm up act for Suzie and the Banshees late eighties I think a long long time ago
A young Michael Hutchence to his left. I saw JCC and New Order on this tour of Oz. JCC was unforgettable.
yeah me too, palais st kilda
My Mancunian, Catholic grandma told me this joke when I was a kid!
@youeatshowieategg
Your need to state where your grandma is from and her religious belief is as absurd as it is pointless.
What does it matter?
Same here, except my gran was from Jersey, and may have been a Methodist. We could be twins. It’s uncanny…
That was one of my Dad’s jokes. He lived in Salford for a while 👍🤣😎
Jesus this is good, Norm and him are cut from the same cloth.
Really funny ! Never disappointed by JCC . Absolute legend . Tells a great story and his poetry is the business ! Rock on !
That was worth the wait 😂
Fuck that was a good punchline
drug crazed punk rockers cavort and caress in the interview rooms at the DHSS.
anyone remember atilla the stockbroker....just remembered that, must have something to do wwith JCC
temptation by new order
Love JCC but cannot fuckin well hear it properly as the background music is so loud
Haha!! Beautiful
Always end a joke lighting a ciggie. That's the capper.
Ooh coot yeh fookin air?
You’re the man Clarke
Ellen DeGeneres really looks different there.
INXS, John Cooper Clarke and New Order (who apparently he was touring with) all on the same show in 1982. This is a historical video.
OMG i laughed sooo hard. and how took a drag and rocked his head after. icing on the cake. and omg he told it so well. thats talent! thanks for upload!!
Fascinating.
I remember doing a piece in English back in the early 80s on his poem Majorkaa !
when smoking still allowed anywhere.. great times !
That's Michael Hutchence and another member of INXS on the couch there no? The lady looks familiar also; maybe the lady from the Eurogliders?
I've never really liked this guy, his poems are not great and watching him tell that joke was embarrassing... for him
he doesn't like barbers, who couldve thought? certainly not the family of pigeons whove taken residence in his hair
Donnie Sutherland? You mean Kiefer's dad?
Stealing this one cheers john
I knew it wouldn't be funny. Im glad i can trust my gut. Just one look at him and i could tell there is no way this man is funny.
He looks like the Late Great Gary Holton.
Great joke as well 😂
That’s what was thinking. 😅
They listening to New Order ?
She’s so high.
Funny Enough Pope JP2 would do that . And he was running that place in that years
Great joke.. Spoilt by annoying music
who cut his hair? some other muppet with sunglasses on indoors ?
noble price for telling jokes... it's jcc!
Nobel Prize. A noble price is something completely different.
Anyone know the name of the new order song playing ?
Temptation
I grew up watching Sounds Unlimited then just Sounds with Donny Southerland saturday mornings in the 70s
He told this same joke on countdown i think it was or maybe 8 out of 10 cats countdown, lasy year, 2022, got 40 years out of it
Best joke I’ve ever heard
Upstaged New Order on stage at the Capitol....then encored 'Sister Ray' with them. Great tour.
I think JCC might actually mean 'Roman' architecture.
Brilliant shaggy dog story
That's JCC Brilliance For You .... Top Man .... Quinny
He looks like Gary Holden.
When humans directly operated studio cameras. More shit we can't have anymore.
You can see the compere of Working Men's clubs experience coming to the fore in this clip as He tells a perfect joke.
Wayne from aufwiedersehn pet looks like JCC here
Never heard of him.
Was he in a band once ? Only know from 8 out of 10 cats
Neva erd of Dr. Cooper but that was a great fukin joke !
We need more Jonny Clarke 😍
nice. good old JCC
Loved his act in "Urrrgh- a Music War."
This story is proof no one can keep up much with a story.
Just wait till he tells you about the ghost cookies...
Nah...
Amazing Guy !!!
Whats Ellen DeGeneres doing?
King of trolls 🏆 I'm a huge fan of JCC
That is a great gag. One of the classics
I echo the comment below......brilliant read!
This dude was great in Urrgh......
Wasted on them
Absolutely outstanding 😁
