Phil Cool

[@WaterWorld1]

The only comedian with a truly rubber face. Brilliant!

[@markmyers4445]

Still very very funny in 2023! This guy is simply pure entertainment and I wished his shows were repeated now. He deserves to be known by todays audiences. Hope he’s ok. Thank you Phil.😂😂

[@zacmumblethunder7466]

I can't believe it's 33 years since I saw this, it still makes me laugh just as much now.

[@MrChristian]

it’s beyond amazing how he did that face. I’ve never seen anything like it before

[@kevindavidge]

Funniest guy who've ever lived. This "stuck in aquaphibian face" sketch had me in a state where I was laughing so much I couldn't breath. It was almost fatal. Kevin

[@JeffHickmott]

Saw him live in 2010 a few months before he retired from performing. He was still amazingly brilliantly funny.

[@KeithDeley]

Amazing just amazing

[@ainerice9585]

So talented - complete comic.

[@stevejailbirdmatt]

I bumped into Phil Cool in the high st. of my home town Southend-on-Sea 25 years ago, when he was appearing at the Cliffs Pavilion in Westcliff. Even then I was a big fan and naturally said "Hi Phil." I didn't even ask for an autograph as I didn't want to draw too much attention. You know what? He completely ignored me and looked down at the ground. It's one of those moments in your life that you wish you could forget!

[@mab06]

I would not take it personally. Maybe he was really shy. A lot of these guys are I think. To be extraordinary on stage you have to be pretty unusual off stage I think. I once saw a guy who I knew of who had bad facial injuries from the Falklands war. In the time it took me to recognise him, identify him and think about going over to shake his hand, he looked at me, saw a rude starer, and averted his eyes. It's just life - one miscommunication after another.

[@29brendus]

Absolute classic. I remember the baddies with their spears going around in twos and gurgling.

[@underon1]

A true comedian................fuckin funny !

[@davidcarter7337]

Arnies face in total recall when his helmet breaks on mars 😂

[@muff-puff.]

Genius ❤ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧👏🌟

[@gezman65]

The true rubber face! 😂

[@Monklane79]

Great.

[@TheLizardmonkey]

One of the biggest mysteries to me; that Phil Cool didn't become stellar. His last major TV series was early ninties in the ITV 'Spitting Image' slot - not the best written, but Phil was great! This clip is from his 1988 BBC Thursday night show - the best he ever did.

[@paulover8102]

LVG (Man U Manager) looks alarming like a Aquaphibian, always thought he looked familiar lol...!! Phil you have a new sketch

[@wanderer1955]

Good to hear hes still going strong. I had his entire TV Show ( two series I think ) on VHS. Cant find them now unfort.

[@peteandurnot]

Got to see him Phil Cool in Concert with Jasper Carrott back in 2004. He's still as hilarious as ever and looks very healthy. He still looks pretty much the same now as he did at the time of this Video (1987)

[@tonymontana1974]

We used to live right near phil cool and he whould sometimes go to the pub my mum and dad went too. I remember my mum and dad telling me they sort of knew him back then and i didnt believe them so they got his autograph. He was pretty funny yeh.

[@KaFaraqGatri]

It was at the Richmond Georgian Theatre. And it was 3 Saturday's ago. I don't know if it's a National tour. He's still good.

[@KaFaraqGatri]

I'm going to see him live soon.

[@steron1234]

awesome tale!!

[@womanwithabeard]

My uncle used to breakdance with Phil Cool in his front garden.

[@albion1953]

He's still touring , He is at the theatre in litchfield this week

[@TedHuber-yl5zx]

Very very funny man!!

[@Just1Cornetto]

Actually, Phil Cool is very, very good. It is easy to pick holes in a performance that is 25 years old, but it made more sense in its day because the aquaphibian character took Phil's core audience (at that time) back to their childhood. Most people under 30 now wouldn't have even heard of Stingray, so its not surprising that people like Tungstenkid find it easy to post derogatory comments. As someone else pointed out, this stuff really should be on DVD!

[@Bricray]

His send up of the Paul Simon/Chevy Chase 'You Can Call Me Al' music video was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Would love to find a recording of it.

[@wanderer1955]

Thanks for your rep.

[@adzie91]

Jus come back from one of his shows, funny guy :D

[@redpillnibbler4423]

Still as funny today🤣

[@axelfols1]

Its a shamehe's not on the box anymore. Used to tape his shows weekly as a kid and watch them over and over. Saw him at the height of his fame and i had tears streaming down my face. I guess now he's off the telly, he's done an Alan Partridge and plays smaller audiences?

[@tombstoneharrystudios584]

I read an interview and he said that after some heart problems he decided he wanted to spend more time with his family than doing gigs up and down the country

[@MattSofianosGuitar]

He was Jim Carrey before Jim Carrey was Jim Carrey

[@Muteswan1]

Thankyou for posting this. I saw it when it was first shown. The Aquaphibian was one of the best he ever did. I wonder what happened to Phil? He was major on tv at one time?

[@paraphil]

I saw him in concert once - he was much funnier live. We want him back on telly !!!

[@TungstenKid]

Why hasn't he been on TV for many years?

[@staygee1]

where's the jr ewing one that was pretty good too

[@wanderer1955]

This guy used to be on TV all the time. Is he still going?

[@curtaingirl]

While all you guys are paying to see him live, i can see him everyday;) so hahah to you

[@Rogermelly01]

that was his aquaphibian not a stingray puppet

[@Rogermelly01]

by the way you wouldent happen to have a copy of phil doing his impersination of paul daniels, i would love to see that again

[@rossmcl177]

Why isn't he on TV any more? I mean he had quite a few series on BBC2 in the 1980s I remember. He was really quite successful. Better than a lot of the rubbish we get now.

[@Bananathan25]

his son joe martin is in my year in my school

[@medinabello19]

@staygee1 I have that bit with Geoff Capes doing the Paul Simon You can Call me Al song. I'll upload it one day, it's brilliant.

[@JadeLH]

Amaaaaazing xD

[@curtaingirl]

OMG I actually know this guy :O his son goes t my school''xo

[@davidcarter7337]

Bar staff?! More like a gynecologist 😂

[@FatJud]

U NEED TO GET OUT MORE!

[@axelfols1]

[@ianvicedomini2648]

😂🤣😂🤣

[@moyadapne]

Charles Bronson!!!

[@manephewlenny6401]

Is this your sanderling?

[@fightersweep]

↑↑↑↑↑ This is the comment I was looking for!

[@cabbygolf]

how?? coz you look like one of his faces..lol

[@Dazron]

it is a funny face though

[@poolfarm2]

This bloke was really good , but sadly you can only get so far pulling faces.

[@barrypalmer9463]

Not really funny🤔

[@idj20]

I never really found any of Ricky Gervais's stand up routine that funny, I preferred his TV stuff (The Office and Derek).

[@PGowdy]

Worst impressionist of all time? ...possibly.

[@paraphil]

I saw him in concert once - he was much funnier live. We want him back on telly !!!
