Tommy Cooper - Magic

Tommy Cooper (19 March 1921 -- 15 April 1984) was an English-Welsh prop comedian and magician. He was known for making an art of getting magic tricks wrong, although he was actually an accomplished magician and entertainer.

The balloon......is literally the funniest thing iv ever seen in any stamd up comedy i was crying for easily one hour and must have watched it 60 times that is pure gold

[@davewave2760]

I saw an interview with him and he commented about keeping his act family friendly. When a family goes to be entertained, the parents don't want to be interrupted by their kids to explain what something means, so he made sure to keep his act where it could be appreciated by anybody, regardless of age,

[@knutabrandal7439]

A brilliant comedian, indeed. And he left us way to soon. Rest in peace, Tommy Cooper - you've left behind you tons of great comedy stuff, and you won't be forgotten in a thousand years!

[@puglet7]

However many times I see this , over the years ...it still makes me roar with laughter . He was the funniest man on TV ...and greatly missed.

[@JohnCollins-u8v]

The best comedian ever, extremely missed, i especially loved the duck routine, so anarchic without being vulgar, pure comedy gold, bless you mr cooper

[@stevejailbirdmatt]

One of my comedy heroes. Like millions, my father and I thought his collapse in his final appearance was part of the act albeit abrupt. Currently reading his fascinating biography.

[@scottrooney8954]

Tommy was truly mesmerising 😂😂😂

[@JayOhEnEnWhyEx]

"I've got water in the carburetor." "Where's the car?" "In the river."

[@adamhickey396]

Notice how at 2:47 that the trick/joke actually does go wrong. The comedy legs were meant to go out however the prop fails. That panic back stage and Cooper's anger was genuine, yet even then he still managed to get a laugh from the audience.

[@HiddenGallifreyian87]

The appearance of Oliver Hardy, followed by Tommy saying "It wasn't, was it?" never seems to make me laugh. Tommy Cooper, a real legend and a man well missed.

[@ipcress1066]

I was walking down an alley and a guy came up to me and said "have you seen a policeman?", I said "no", he said "stick'em up"... Wonderful stuff

[@robertmiller3750]

Tommy you made us cry with laughter 😀😀😀

[@peake123]

I never ever ever stop thinking 'bout tommy my own comedian, got All of his books AND DVDS if you tell me if I had to have a 100 million pounds just to sell one of my tommy cooper things, I wouldn't do it, my dad got one of the books he had signed

[@miksstudio]

I remember watching the show on TV where he died, sad day. Great performer.

[@thomgoddard]

From Wikipedia: Born in Caerphilly, Wales, Cooper's parents were Welsh-born army recruiting sergeant father Thomas H. (Tom) Cooper and his English-born mother Gertrude (née Gertrude C. Wright) from Crediton, Devon. In light of the heavily polluted air and the offer of a job for his father, the family moved to Exeter, Devon when Cooper was three and gained the West Country accent that was part of his act.

Legend.

[@JustNews351]

When everything works just as it should be, even the deficits works in your favor then one may say that you've got the talent. But everyone says that about Tommy.

[@Melanie1780]

I love his face game..

[@Sjmby95]

Just his face makes you laugh

"here's a quick joke" "hahahahaha" wtf LoL =D

[@martinbyrne7264]

Tommy a comical genius

[@emilywhitfield2780]

What a sweet beautiful man he was so sad that his death was so tragic

[@starofjustice1]

For some reason he reminds me of Tom Baker.

[@emilywhitfield2780]

Yeah he does look like him doesn't he? I thought I was the only one who noticed that!!

[@boke75]

You mean the Dr. Who from the 70's ? Yeah, now that you mentioned it...I definitely see the occasional wild look in the eyes in both !

Can anyone explain the drinking the shot and putting the glass in the bag ???

[@leonmosk8462]

No.😂

[@The_Capri_Kid]

Can anyone make out what that bloke in the audience is saying to Tommy at 3:50? I've watched this clip dozens of times over the years & still can't make it out.....something about playing a piano perhaps?? It's clear Tommy didn't have a clue either!

[@adamhickey396]

I believe the person in the audience is a stooge and the whole point was for them to talk absolute gibberish so that Tommy could get the reaction. It is such a funny moment though

[@The_Capri_Kid]

@@adamhickey396 cheers Adam, I thought that might be the case 🤣

[@dackman213]

kinda look like Nicko Mcbrain from Iron Maiden a bit.

[@Rotherhamvanman]

Brilliant again. No relation though don't think :-)

[@knutini]

Knowing that he died of a heart attack on stage later in his career, it is Interesting that his first gag was reaching for the left side of his chest and saying, "I've had a pain (pane) here all day."

i'm improving my english also because i want to understand these jokes.. can somebody help me writing here some of them? please

[@bittylover2]

eh no!!!

[@PastHaze]

" I have broken my arm in several places" then they laugh? what's funny about that sentence? and then he says " dont go to these places" meh....

[@thedude4795]

he's saying you're dumber than the joke is lame

[@thedude4795]

markhorneyuk the word "places" has a double meaning as the location of a fracture and a geographic location. Its shit

[@thedude4795]

markhorneyuk First sentence unintelligible. Cooper was a nice bloke, and had he spent the energy on joke writing rather than alcohol could-ve been great at it. Comedy is very difficult, british comedy has had a problem keeping up with American, theres always hope but whatever.

[@andrewcorbett5729]

@@thedude4795 He was amazing you idiot.

[@crockodiles]

He said - I told my doctor . . . . . . .then the Dr says . . . . . . (try to keep up!) It's just a variation of the 'Doctor, It hurts when I do this . . . .then don't do that . . . . joke.

[@Popanzio88]

just because you can't write, can't you?

[@kaisersosey6153]

Lame

I pray for you.Still not well.🤒

Not Funny.

[@leonmosk8462]

Hilarious.😂

[@boke75]

"There's water in the carburetor". "Where's the car" ? "In the river". On paper, it's a dad joke. But from Tommy, it's funny. Go figure.

[@higgins382]

Funniest man who ever lived - there are no others even in the same class in my humble opinion. The world is a lesser place without him, he stands head and shoulders above all others. These snippets of him will endure as long as mankind walks the Earth.
