total comic, no one comes near him, natural comic, never failed to make me laugh, and still does to this day, just wonderful.
Brilliant comic, could stand on stage and not say a word but the audience would roar with laughter. Comic genius. God bless❤️
Always unpredictable, never disappointing, one of the all time greats indeed and greatly missed.
A true comic genius. A star among a comedy breed so missed today.
Over twenty years the counrty has lost genuine funny people. Thank God they survive on youtube. Thanks fior posting. An interview with Keneth Williams is fantastic.
No one ever had more fun performing that Tommy! He provided us with a lot of fun in the process.
A great man who has sinced past, so pleased you tube exists because many more generations can enjoy true comedy.
As a teenager I grew up with this wonderful comedian I loved him...I miss you so much my friend...you made me laugh!!
Tommy lived a few doors away from me in the 1970s when I lived in my flat in Chiswick.. always said hello and he often had a drink in back room of local pub. Just as crazy in reality as on stage.!!
I knocked on his door in Chiswick one Saturday when I was a salesman and he invited me in and offered me a drink.
bloody great showman i'm so glad i missed his final performance that way i can remember him at his best. I do wish there more Tommy Coopers in this world
i dont think there will ever be another comedian who could just look at an audienece and have them in stiches, what a ledgend.........
Saw Tommy Cooper on stage and I have never seen so many people on pain through laughter, 5 minutes before he said a word, absolute genius
Wonderful! Always loved watching him! Miss his unique humour very much! What a lovely man he was too!
I heard that he was doing a live show. The lights went down and a voice announced, 'Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr Tommy Cooper.' Then they heard Tommy sighing and making various noises. Then steps could be heard coming down stairs. By now the audience was in hysterics, and he hadn't even appeared on the stage. The word genius doesn't cover this great man.
i saw it live on telly , even when he was dying i was laughing , i didn,t know but it goes to show you can die laughing
I watched the live show thought it was part of the act RIP tommy cooper now parkie has gone RIP
Tommy Cooper, pure comedy genius.
Michael Caine
parky nearly collapsed laughing...a hard man to ask serious questions to. great fun.
No comic has ever made me laugh as much as Tommy Cooper. Impeccable timing from a true comic genius. Without a doubt he was and is widely loved for his silly trademark humor and he never swore unlike today's bland and not so funny 'comedians.'
Oh Tommy.
You only had to stand there with that daft grin on your face and I disolved in laughter.
Thank you, rest in peace, a true comic genius.
oh YES!!!!
You, me and the rest of the UK :)
He was an amazing character my dad k new him and always made him laugh, but Tommy would get angry with people (just like that) due to his aĺcahol intake but he made millions laugh and still watch him to this day ,? RIP Tommy
Agreed! I was watching on that fateful night along with millions of others, a true genius, they don't make 'em like that no more.
As Paul says no one comes near him -how we miss them when they've gone it's just a pleasure to watch him so warm as a person too
Tommy Cooper will always be a legend
The only man to put a bunch of hats on and make it funny 🤣 Love him. Wish he was still alive so I could meet him.
Such a simple trick but the smoothness of the slight-of-hand is phenomenal. What a legend. And unbelievably funny too
Hardly phenomenal. Try to stay in reality. I can do that more smoothly, as can most beginners! He admitted he was crap at most magic but yeah you know better than the man himself..
An amazing comedian of his time, always looked forward to on TV
Some1 I know said when he went to see him he just stood infront of a little gate on the stage telling jokes and everybody was wondering what the gate was for cos he never mentioned it all way through the performance and at the end he just walked through the gate and off the stage laughing! Absolutley different class!
i might stop laughing sometime next week
What a man pure class never to be seen again pure comedy
Tommy Cooper - this interview is why I like him so much, a brilliant magician and yet so crazy. The Parkinson show is where you go to be "yourself", so Tommy took his fez off and carried on being the same - that was as close to himself as he would go on tv...
What a character, unforgettable
My Mam and Dad would be in fits when he was on the telly, just thinking back on that makes me laugh, you do not see that type on entertainer around any more, and that is a pity. seeing Tommy and Parkinson together is a great treat.
I love this man!
beautiful video
The man just tries on various hats and he's funny. Only Tommy Cooper could get away with that.
what a legend sadly missed
He was so bloody funny, that man.
clivemcgee@live.co.uk
@@clivemcgee4987 Did you mean to type that comment?
Forget the common market. What irony. Tommy only had to give that gormless look to get me laughing. He could get a whole comic routine going without even saying a word.
A Genius a legend and the master of magic and comedy a total legend i agree.
Brilliant stuff.
While my way from school, i saw him from the bus i was on.
Early 80s was the time.
Did he fit?
The reason we voted Brexit was so Tommy could get his fez back!
Yes but the reason he got his fez back was Boris borrowed 'Bret Sit!' for a few hours to impress...Doris...and couldn't afford to pay him back. Or so the story goes. How do you explain that? Anyway, I thought it was a Welsh dragon hat. Those were the days, when all we knew about another culture was the kind of hat they might wear when they're up for a bit of leg-pulling. Or in the bath. And it was completely divorced from reality. And just a bit of fun really.
Great slight of hand
Still laugh so much at this great bloke
never used bad language or smut humour. amazing.
Who watched part one and couldn't resist part two?
Magic maniac .. love him. Loved him. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
priceless Cooper!
Great Magician of the Magic Circle!
Tommy. you are a one in a billion.
Quite so Peter.
👍👍👍😂🤣😂❤️👵
uuuh he cant hear you
In Tommy's logic, that couldnt be right, otherwise there'd be 7 of him, including a chinese!
oh shit the mongoose part.all in the family had that as well when pinky peterson pranked archie lol awesome
What a marvellous man he was, life goes on I suppose.
Funiest guy that ever walked the planet he just had that charsima and well he was just Tommy
parky laffin made it for me.
The French numbers got me busting up pretty good. :-)
lol, the french version is priceless
The main man!!
what a Genius act
Look at the alternative comics today and look at a proper comic, a true family entertainer
And no filthy language. Most of those so-called stand-ups are finished--they ran out of swear words.
There's just no comparison, is there?
@redredreds100 He has the best delivery ever!!! Timing and that baffled look on his face, priceless....
Brilliant
THE BEST
i found an old trick of his, don't know when he dropped it! ;)
I love his reaction at 4:26
What a treasure! I would have LOVED to have seen Tommy play a bad ass gangster/assassin/hard nut in a decent movie.
Answer to the question.
"No I can't do a trick without comedy"
I watched his last moments on TV, live on stage at her Majesties theatre. He had only just come on, wearing a huge golden smock like costume and suddenly and slowly, sank to the floor in a crouched position, and fell backwards. I, and the audience thought it was part of his act and started laughing. The curtains were eventually drawn together, but Tommy was too far forward to be covered. So The shows introducer, JImmy Tarbuck , pulled the Curtains around Tom. The show went straight into adverts,, despite there being one only a few minutes ago. He died back stage of a massive heart attack. I think the video is on RUclips.
still making me laugh lol just like that
I'm VERY familiar with the ball trick ;)
@Eye2EyeIIIV how did he do it? Im gobsmacked
Like the great Les Dawson who made a career of being such a good pianist he could play it badly, Tommy was such a good magician he could ham it n still be amazing!
lovely
this guy looked giant
i went to the doctor. i felt bad. what`s wrong with me, doc? you`ve got 4 minutes to live. what can you give me ? a boiled egg!
He just had to look at you and you would burst out laughing
Its the way I tell em!
@GordonMorrice He's actually an archetypal Welshman.
The very best :)
Funniest comic ever in the UK, he looked funny but also looked like a guy you wouldn't want to upset eh.
you get the feeling that parky was impatient at tommy`s refusal to do a straight intererview and instead surround himself with props. however, like many a cooper audience, despite himself, he ends up in total hysterics, at one stage and tommy is as funny as ever. never saw parky convulsed in so much laughter before or after.
thing is,he didn't need to do any tricks...you'd just look at him and you'd be laughing:)
What a comic!!
sounds great to me1
Oh for the days when comedy was just that - comedy !!
There was only one, a friend of mine was at the fatefull show where he died, he knew him, Tommy gave him a gift one Christmas, a box of matches.. on the outside it had a fez, a cane and top hat etc, on the inside of the box it said STOLEN FROM TOMMY COOPER. even a box of his matches could make us laugh.
now he makes us cry, because he is gone, gone but never forgotten.
Rest with the Angels oh King of Laughter.
ah hahhahahaaaa
"Mon Goose.; (French) My Bird (English)
was a rsm in the army can you imagine funny as fuck
A bloody legend.
did anyone pickup his joke about joinining the commenweatlh "we hadnt won 'its a knockout' yet "
we may all forget the common market.... dig out your fez..
Progenitor
2:15 u can see the ball in his right hand which he just took out of his pocket
4:44 two in the pink...
I have a weakness for the humour of Tommy Cooper. Stupid but in some strange way brilliant.
Looks like someone deleted the sections. But why not look a little further for verification? Seems you only believe what you want to, not what is.
Besides citing his printed biography, the first google search item after wiki mentions it: thebiographychannel.co.uk/biographies/tommy-cooper.html
Today's alternative comedians please watch a genius at work people say everything improves Comedy I think not
Tommy Cooper slays me
He what? Slays you?? What fucking gibberish is that? Can't you speak English? Clearly not
How did he die?
Really????. He died live on tv prime time Sunday night from a massive heart attack. I was a kid at the time
07:55 so Roy Brown wasn't the first comedian to wear a flying helmet :)
Well spotted
Fez's fez isn't it 😂😂😂
at 4:45 tommy does the shocker
Never mock the Moors... We stand for love truth peace freedom and justice...
Timmy Cooper just isn't Tommy Cooper without the fez.
8:30
I know this sounds weird, but didn't Tommy Cooper nearly accidently kill Michael Parkinson on his show when Michael was taking part in one of Tommy's magic tricks?
I heard this too. Not sure if it was on this show, or a different one a year or two later.
