David Bowie - Cobbler Bob | Adam Buxton

[@larrybizzles]

Cobbler Bob and the Slippers from Marks.

[@mairimillar8866]

Genius!

[@mjmelia2002]

you win the internet with this

[@1220b]

Nice......

[@Somerset]

The Man Who Soled The World

[@SeniorsHomeServicesConsultant]

Clever!

[@RatSitnov]

A Mad Deus sounds like something Bowie might've actually thought about.

[@ChrisBarrett1]

I was totally sold on that character

[@andyba.8501]

An album with classic/rock songs by Bowie. With big orchestrations!

[@PrivateAckbar]

Aladin Sane. A Lad Insane. Adam Buxton is great.

[@32mybelle]

Yes!

[@DoctorFurioso]

@@PrivateAckbar But Bowie actually did that one, with that pun.

[@JiaSkateTeam]

Your Bowie impression is the best I've ever heard

[@bianca952000]

Paul Jennette Right?!! It's eerily similar!! Spot on!

[@lisabunnie22960]

You should have done a voice over for that tragedy in "Stardust".

[@Strangereg]

Ricky gervais, does a fantastic impression of Bowie

[@johnlennonsstalker2560]

ITS AMZING HOW-

[@uscman]

@@lisabunnie22960 not even a voice over could save that film.

[@politesociety]

The Cobbler Bob era was always my favourite. So grounded and soleful. Great walking music. I really get a kick out of it.

[@alexneill8338]

But it kind of went to heel with that last album. David and Angie fought toe-to-toe over that one.

[@avaschultz950]

Person A: Who's your favorite Bowie character? Person B: Cobbler Bob Person A: Who the fu- Person B: *links them to this video.*

[@justjeff53]

Ground Control to Cobbler Bob..... Sorry, couldn't resist..

[@davidlean1060]

the return of the Cobbler Bob, Cobblin Bobs in lovers' eyes.....

[@AstraeaFae]

I hope David saw this before he passed! Would've given him a laugh! :) RIP

[@KipXP]

RIP Cobbler Bob x

[@thinwhitedukenator]

My exact thoughts. :(

[@greynotneon]

"There's a hole in my soul/sole." Brilliant!

[@misterapplesyd]

I almost cried when he sighed and said "alright then" you sound so much like him I miss him so much

[@jamesdean9183]

The liquid coming out of Aladdin Sane's shoulder is a teardrop that was painted on after the photo was taken. Bowie liked the addition and left it.

[@pinkybandinski7498]

The sheer theatricality is superlative.

[@WastelandDiplomat]

I had my fingers crossed for Cobbler Bob

[@ClayMann]

I knew it wouldn't be because it just wasn't practical to get the whole band to perform in his shoes. A bit like an episode of Blake 7 where they plan on invading an alien home world all episode but you know it's not going to happen because the BBC couldn't afford the sets.

[@BananaCologne]

+Clay Mann PMSL!

[@kenbanana4466]

Whenever I am having a bad day I always watch this to cheer me up. The edge falling off stage also works.

[@justinebourke2811]

😂😂

[@justinebourke2811]

Bono falling off the Edge(of a cliff) would do it for me 😂

[@kirstw9895]

Makes me want to hear David Bowie's Adam Buxton impression.

[@lunastar89]

I love all your Bowie shorts I wish there were more!

[@birdogio]

And here I thought David Bowie was actually doing his voice in these videos - not only because it's so spot on, but because he was exactly the kind of guy who would love to take the piss out of himself in this very clever and funny way.

[@grecomic]

Viscount Jizmark... lives on his back!

[@marianrose1259]

😂

[@RhysTheGnome]

I would be the happiest man alive if Adam Buxton and Chris Salt made a TV series.

[@encoreunefois1X]

Priceless. You'll never hear a better Bowie rip.

[@dannythemilliondollarvoice8986]

I would have bought a Cobbler Bob album.

[@barbarakirk1451]

I was hoping Adam Sandler's film The Cobbler was inspired by this!

[@marianrose1259]

Maybe there’s a bootleg out there just waiting...✨✨✨

[@hamishanderson6738]

You won't be the first or the LAST person to feel that.

[@slacknhash]

I'm now convinced that Bowie always went 'wuz wuz wuz wuz wuz wuz' when painting or doing his 'cut-up' method of composing lyrics.

[@leehardcastle]

Oh yeah it's the chap who won the song wars video comp and got to go to the big british castle! Very cool

[@GrilledChickenTV]

The saltman XD

[@reecestraw2529]

***** Summersalt

[@wellesradio]

I am in the dark here. 7 year old reference to something very obscure.

[@bulletproofblouse]

@@wellesradio Have a listen to this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJ6ccnuIe86KhrM Chris Salt won a competition, got to be in the studio for a show while Adam and Joe came up with various salt-based pun-name-alternatives.

[@mercuropheliac]

I say we start forming our own tribute bands named after one of these scrapped personas. I'm torn between A-Mad-Deus and Viscount Jizmark...

[@thevoid99]

maybe there's an unreleased album under the cobbler bob persona.... please, tony visconti and iman, find it!!!!

[@AmoebaAssssassin]

Now I need a weekly episode where David is always trying to get Cobbler Bob into his life. That was excellent, loved it.

[@ladyrose837]

probably one of the best things i've seen in a while. also the voice for david was spot-on.

[@ladystardust5192]

How do you sound so much like him, it's amazing.

[@calyx93]

"… could you make it Pepsi?"

[@DalekBricks]

Still the best video on KZbin.

[@stardustmagic4716]

This is extremely brilliant🙏🏻😂I would love to see more videos!☺️

[@Nadotornadocat]

oh my god please make more

[@instant_dreams]

This explains so much.

[@ItsMarkMcIntyre]

I'd have liked Cobbler Bob.

[@cflynn2769]

Viscount Jizmark 😂 Ten years later it’s still funny!

[@quickflash2studios232]

I love the Amadeus album, it was so theatrical, you could hear the character through Bowie’s voice throughout

[@00Laugh0Love0Live00]

This is my favorite video on KZbin. Well done good sir.

[@JSebastien94]

Youre impression is really great!

[@gerardodonnell2798]

i so love these sketches please do more

[@averyetvspecial1487]

This video filled a hole in my sole.

[@tattyshoesshigure5731]

Amazing impression of Bowie’s voice!

[@NSHM122]

I like Bowie’s laugh, “waza wasa wasa.”

[@Wcmolly73]

Absolutely brilliant!!

[@clintonswaim]

Cobbler Bob Bob is a cobbler There’s a hole in my sole

[@tregenza77]

Dr.Buckles, if you're reading this - I hope you're OK. this is a hefty blow after another very sad time. Stay strong x

[@7pitpat7]

Oh ad this is amazing some of my 3 favourite things Lego, Bowie and you! Thank you for all your work it makes me so happy to watch it!

[@NickSheridanVids]

Still beautiful.

[@jshepherd7493]

My son now has a toy called Cobbler Bob. He is a digger driver thanks Mr Adam and Mr Bowie for the name

[@rivkahlevi6117]

Genius! How has this not got a bajillion views?

[@michellegladwin7484]

Love cobbler bob. And your bowie impersonation is blooming marvelous. David bowie will always be in my heart. Xxx👽

[@thefourmonkeys]

This is brilliant, love it!! :D

[@Deedee-ee1sg]

LOL! OMG, the BOWIE voice is amazing! Ludicrous, ridiculous and very amusing cartoon. DAVID BOWIE is probably chuckling oop there in heaven R.I.P DAVID BOWIE ROCK LEGEND AND ICON!

[@manuelgallardo7694]

Bullocks & fuckin hells this is bloody brilliant!😎

[@jimenuxe77]

can´t stop watching !!!!

[@GuanoLad]

Fifth time I watched this, and just noticed the circle on Bowie's forehead is the centre of the Good Life daisy.

[@janinepetherick6293]

I would buy a DVD of this (just saying :-) More please xox

[@winstonsmif6917]

yes, adam should make feature length movies in the style of those little shortened parodies of movies, from the adam and joe show

[@dannutt5701]

Rest in Peace David Bowie :(

[@peterwallace29]

I love this! Cobbler Bob. The lost Bowie persona that never was.

[@itsmeitsme99]

Brilliant.....real laugh out loud stuff. Bowie would be proud of you 🙂

[@spookluke7458]

Really great to know that you're still in touch with 'Assault with a Deadly Chrisp'!

[@julesd]

Got to love this.

[@frankerck]

claro

[@thewozmancan]

So brilliant!!!!!

[@davidsummer8631]

A Mad Deus would work as a stage production

[@AI_admin]

jeez i'm here in 2021!!!

[@adams4659]

Brilliant! The Saltmaster and Buckles never disappoint!

[@B0r0]

OH WOW, This beats "Stardust" any day of the week.

[@ReubenBlock]

Dear Mr. Buxton. Thank you. That is all.

[@veeber]

I feel like he's come back to life

[@robothunter1035]

imagine how history would have changed if it had been "Cobbler Bob."

[@marshalsea000]

Must say, this Glastonbury on BBC is missing some Cobbler Bob action...

[@Ukedc259]

There’s a hole in my sole

[@joeoconnor1346]

Adam, I'm completely depressed that my Bowie impersonation has gradually morphed into Alan Partridge. If your Bowie ever starts sounding nasal, beware that slippery slope!

[@radioscillator]

Off to create a Cobbler Bob 'Hole in the Sole Tour' T-shirt...

[@Planetx18]

Delightful! Also nice to see the return of Sea Salt...

[@ladystardust2008]

I'm sure David would absolutely love this 💫

[@slaterslater5944]

Viscount Jizzmark had some mileage, I reckon.

[@undango]

great to see this true to life depiction of how Bowie actually went on to decide his next representation in music. Just imagine if Angie had gone with Cobbler Bob. I'm not sure, but i don't think he would have been quite as successful... but we'll never know!

[@amerocker]

This.is.hilarious! ☺😀😁😂😂😂 Please make some more! 😊

[@BrennanYoung]

it's a kind of bonding agent, for dentures

[@CharlieBramps]

LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@EdwardStove]

A Salt on Precinct 13! Nice work! You too Adam!

[@dearmavis01]

"The hole in my soul"... You were so funny, Bob.

[@nigetwelvetrees4019]

Brilliant a quiet like the idea of Cobbler Bob!! He mends shoes and sings the blues probably about Spiders in the bath.

[@seancoco]

Did you get the Saltman to animate this? From the 6music competition before? Somehow pleases me to know you're still in touch with him! Haha

[@amirpourghoureiyan1637]

Peter Gabriel already did the Gardener idea for Genesis's 'Selling England by the pound'

[@Survivethejive]

it's startin' to interfere with my 'ead

[@phillipbailey70]

We all love the fact that C-Salt is still involvicised(sp?) with this kind of superlatative work (x) (From someone who has the trimmed 6Music shows on permanent MP3 player rotation, so I'm not mad at all - no .....)

[@jonburrows2883]

I didn't get to the end of this. Can anybody tell me what's the best album to start with in the Cobbler Bob phase?

[@junpeixix]

Hahahahahhaahhahaah so cool I HAVE QUESTIONS 1: HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO GET A DAVID BOWIE LEGO? 2: How Did You Nail His Voice? 3: HOW DID YOU NAIL THE MOUTH MOVING WHEN THEY WERE TALKING? P.S. Haha That's How He Came Up With Aladdin Sane!

[@AndyTannerSmith]

this is never not going to be funny.

[@samuelmartin2992]

This has big “The Nightman Cometh” energy. I love it.

[@RickyStevens94]

Haha, nice work Buxton! What software did you use for the facial animations?

[@AlbionJakeable]

THE SALT MAN COMETH.

[@GrilledChickenTV]

In summer...do people call him summer salt?

[@sarahgraham3326]

Love it! Viscount Jizzmark lol

[@ANDYJL1964]

me too Sezza :-)

[@Fexobs]

Superb.

[@AndroidFink]

Brilliant to see you collaborating with The Salt Man/Sea Salt/Somersalt/Assalt on Precinct 13 :D

[@buginabassbin]

Holy shit! thats the funniest thing I've seen all week.

[@johnAsanz]

Brilliant

[@verena9911]

omg that sounds so much like him at the beginning

[@imaweerascal]

I saw Viscount Jizzmark play the Hammersmith Apollo.. he really made a splash
