There used to be a comedian in the UK called Tommy Copper, who could walk on stage, not say anything for 5 min's, and the audience would be crying with laughter the whole time.
@@dcanmoreI remember watching it, we all thought it was part of the show, no one realised he had actually dropped dead until they dragged him under the curtain and nothing else happened.
Not a word spoken in his performance. Genius comedy actor and a great racing driver. Fab taste in cars. Up until recently one of his 'dailys' (daily driving cars) was a beautiful, original McLaren F1. Sold it for millions I believe.
I still have my technics stereo from my 16th birthday, I don't brag about how good it is, but I do brag at how many times I've fixed it and kept it alive for the past 21 years 😆
An ex girlfriend of mine has my technics stereo also from about 20 years ago. I didn't have anywhere I could use it so I let her keep it. Still going strong as well they were made well.
Rowen is loved worldwide. He is also a petrol head too. Hes been a guest on Top Gear with Jeremy Clarkson. Rowen does a lap around the track.. hes a great driver too.
Charlie Chaplin was one of the greats, imo. I recently rewatched The Dictator. It's most famous for his incredible dialogue at the end, but the whole film is worth a watch.
Since we're in the Christmas season, I really would love for you to do "Merry Christmas, Mr. Bean" (Transmitted 29-12-1992). Probably one of the funniest one off specials they ever made. Rowan's "Mr. Bean" was never better than in that. It's an absolute must in our family to watch over the holiday period. I hope Craig will be able to provide you with a good source! (I'm sure he'd agree). If not it is on YT. So good luck!
Harpo Marx decided he was never going to talk on screen, so played the mute character in every movie brilliantly. Rowan would be perfect as Harpo in a biographic about the Marx Brothers.
Strange fact. The car Englishman Rowan Atkinson was driving was a left hand drive. We drive on the left, so right hand drive cars are the norm. When this sketch was made, lefthand drive cars were extremely rare in UK.
I would just like to point out that my favourite insult is “muppet”. I’m very English so, it would tend to be while driving when you are going to get “wtf are you doing you f’ing muppet? Did you not see the “give way” with your muppet eyes? It’s obvious it’s not your day to have the family brain cell”. All of this with the car window open so they can hear and no expectation of getting shot. It’s so nice.
You need to watch SUCH BRAVE GIRLS it is so funny! And its directed by simon bird who obvs plays will in the inbetweeners. I deffo would check it out maybe get queen boomer to react too 😁
For those not in the know the "lecturer" in this sketch is Angus Deayton, who used to host a popular topical news quiz comedy panel on the BBC called "Have I got news for you" (which coincidentally has been running since 1990). Deayton was caught with a prostitute and large amounts of drugs in what was described at the time as a "sex romp" where the prostitute claimed "he was the best I've ever had" etc. He was fired after fresh allegations a few weeks later.
Nah that stuff with stacker systems and that kinda stuff stopped before the 2010s although I think some people still have them. Going by alotta stuff u say in ur videos I think ur about ages with me but I'm not sure. Keep up the videos king boomer
True. When they're still down the road all you can hear is the thump. When they drive by you it sounds like someone has thrown the cutlery in the washing machine.
If you want to, you should the full show, he did a range of sketches Live in Boston including the one on this post. I would recommend it the full video. th-cam.com/video/9QykO_6l4Kg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=m74Q9HywBqEZLOHF
Lee Evans also did some amazing non-verbal sets/skits in his heyday but sadly its hard to get full performances on youtube and the like as his management are pretty hot on getting stuff taken down. Growing up my dad was a fan of Norman Wisdom who was another very expressive act. Of course you have all the silent stars (Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd etc.) and early acts up to Laurel and Hardy etc. from the early talky days. Jerry Lewis was also excellent at the non verbal comedy. If you want to have a great laugh with physical, mostly non verbal comedy look up an old british film called "The Plank" which had some of the best slapstick british comedians all in one film going through loads of the old men with a plank bits from throughout vaudville and early cineme. Yeah I knew quite a few stereo flexers back in the day with the needlessly expensive and convoluted systems that usually sounded terrible because they didn't know how to set it up properly.. I had a more subtle, inconspicuos compact system (JVC Adagio S20 - 90's tech) that was actually pretty powerful despite only having 2 speakers it could still be heard a long way off if pumped up (several neighbours away) but had zero distortion and had a weird virtual 3D effect using the walls to throw sound round the room. The only time I ever really pumped it up was those occassions when a neighbour was playing stuff too loud and I'd drown them out and they''d usually get the message. I still have it and use it to run my computer audio through when not using headphones so it seldom goes above 25% output these days.

Often crying with laughter before he got on stage
probably the only comedian who died on stage to the sound of laughter.
Tommy Cooper

jar jar spoon jar jar spoon, see that second hand
I still have this entire show on VHS. I watched it obsessively when I was a kid, this genuinely brings back some memories lol.

Still got mine from about 97, luckily haven't had to touch it. Although now relegated to the the bedroom.

@@rusty75ish haha! that's boss! I can't throw things away, especially something that was so important to me as a kid :D
Rowen Atkinson is the master of facial expressions…..👍and of mime….👍
Jim Carrey is a master too.
You So need to watch a show called the The Thin Blue Line, Rowan Atkinson at his Best!!
Together with Grim's rants about Tina
@@bmofano Inspector Grim and Inspector Raymond rants are just as good to.
@@bmofano He had to tell her his piles are back.
The stereo has an *_EQUALISER!!!?_* OMG!!!
Yeah, I was a teen in the 1980s. Old.
Rowen is loved worldwide. He is also a petrol head too. Hes been a guest on Top Gear with Jeremy Clarkson. Rowen does a lap around the track.. hes a great driver too.
The Actor's Art and Wedding From Hell are also absolutely brilliant from this live show
The old stereo sets bring back memories even though I never owned one. Bring them back
Charlie Chaplin was one of the greats, imo. I recently rewatched The Dictator. It's most famous for his incredible dialogue at the end, but the whole film is worth a watch.
The next of these sketches to react to should be 'Pink tights and plenty of props'. Probably my fav of the lot.

Look up the Atkinson Live sketch "Pink Tights and Plenty Of Props". Genius.
I suggested this as well. It's the best one in my opinion.
@@vespien2056 "... with a physical defect." :D :D
i agree he's funny as with no dialogue
Rowan is an expert at physical comedy and mime. If you haven't seen it, hunt for his "invisible drum kit" sketch.
KB, the compere, Angus Deayton, was the original host of WILTY.
His physical humour is first class 😂😂😂

Rowan Comedy Genius
Father of the Bride sketch or Divorce Ceremony are good.
Well, KB: Lee Evans performance of Bohemian Rhapsody is something remarkable in mime. -well, almost mime! Action to sound.
Wow I haven't seen Angus Deayton in decades 😮
You need to watch SUCH BRAVE GIRLS it is so funny! And its directed by simon bird who obvs plays will in the inbetweeners. I deffo would check it out maybe get queen boomer to react too 😁
Angus Deayton ... 'Tv's Mr Sex', great straight faced comedic actor and presenter

@@lloydcollins6337he was also the original would I lie to you host, being replaced when the scandal hit
I have a 5.1 surround sound AV receiver.
been waiting for you to see this Boomer, classic!
Angus Deaton RIP. should check out the really early have I got news for you and then the night he was the story... brilliant but so sad.
RIP????
RIP?
Angus Deaton isn't dead lol
@ Jaysus I swore he died after all the issues… matrix must have reset sorry Angus…

Would love to see yours and queens reaction to celebrity juice.

As Christmas is just around the corner
Why not do a reaction to Happy Christmas Mr Bean. Roland Atkinson ❤
big booming stereos have migrated into cars, they sure let you know they're coming by the subbase thump
True. When they're still down the road all you can hear is the thump. When they drive by you it sounds like someone has thrown the cutlery in the washing machine.
roawns gift is when he says simple unfunny words and makes them funny
check out the top gear interview and you'll see why
Rowan has trouble saying the letter 'B' so he always stresses it to hilarious effect e.g. when saying "Bob"
I have known a few people who would complain looking at a receipt in McDonalds
@KingBoomer Oh this one YES!!! 🥴
Marcel Proust was the greatest mime artist.The French geezer. Help me out. Is that the right name?
I'm 40, I've lived with 3 different women, been engaged to 4, never been on a date.
Jim Carry can (make people laugh without saying a word), but if you want a true master in this form of comedy - Ireneusz Krosny is your guy.
Lemon tree dating can result in some bitter fruits, you know.
Charlie Chaplin being English of course.
It’s pretty much a Mr Bean episode ❤
If you want to, you should the full show, he did a range of sketches Live in Boston including the one on this post. I would recommend it the full video.

Yeah that was a flex among the boys, girls not so much.
And this is starting to be misguided 😂 atkinson is great so many skits he did were fantastic like invisible man on the train
Rowan Atkinson live as the Indian Waiter is so much funnier
Marcel Marceau and I bet I've still got his name wrong?
Stereo flexer here - though I only flex to myself these days..
Tommy Cooper...

The Lee Evans, Bohemian Rhapsody skit is classic.
Mobile technology seems to have killed the allure of the old-fashioned hi-fi and integrated home entertainment systems.

Jim Carry is justas versitile. But not as elastic as Rowen is.
Rowan is funnier than Chaplin - I still hate Mr Bean though!
