Peter Cook devil traffic warden scene

[StevenAbootmanWGA]

I hadn't seen this only the new one I didn't knew it was a remake I thought it was terrible.

This film is outstanding one of my favourites! love it :)

[georgeharrison22543]

7 Princes of Hell, and Lucifer had to be Pride. He should have been Lust...

[mitsymagicful]

@georgeharrison22543 ha ha...Pride is more of a sin than lust you see so you can go on lusting and its kind of alrighty...LOL

[georgeharrison22543]

@mitsymagicful Well, if he actually did look like Peter Cook, he would have been Lust rather than Pride. So...

[mitsymagicful]

@georgeharrison22543 Yes I agree with you there.....Peter Cook as Lust indeed he would be ideal!:))he might turn you into a sinner though....LOL

[fortinrose1]

Love this part from this film. Way to funny . Pete and dud take us to a great place of laugther that we all need :)



[mitsymagicful]

@fortinrose1 Yes I totally agree with you, we need to be in that place..take me there!..so many new entertainers who do not have this ability and it's great we have these old films to watch on youtube as if they are brand new....Mitsy

[GravityBoy72]

'That's exactly how I felt'

Peter Cook was great at this stuff.

[mitsymagicful]

@GravityBoy72 ha ha, he certainly was great, subtle and ironic.

[katinaanimator]

Probably the best explanation of the devil I've ever heard.

[mitsymagicful]

@katinaanimator he knew his stuff:)

[TheFuriousfunk]

I despise how they ruined this movie in the remake. What in the hell made someone think Elizabeth Hurley could do Peter Cook's role? 1967 Bedazzled is pure gold, 2000 Bedazzled should be flushed.

[mitsymagicful]

@TheFuriousfunk very true:)

[fuzzballzz36]

@TheFuriousfunk Quite agree. The remake was garbage. Should be shat upon and THEN flushed. 

[labyrinthReviews]

when I first saw this, it was soo funny, still is; but I thought that it was a little much for the sixties.

Then I remembered: it was the sixties.

great movie.

[mitsymagicful]

@labyrinthReviews....ha ha yes and it is a pity there is nothing to match the brilliance of this humour now..most comedy films on the cinema now are no where near as funny as this, in my opinion anyway..thanks for your comment:)..Mitsy x

[lewisner]

2.05 LMAO

[mitsymagicful]

@lewisner good:)

[TheEaglesRockAlot]

0:37 Awesome socks.

[mitsymagicful]

@TheEaglesRockAlot ...devil style is hot this year, you must get some!

[toddcharry]

More educated but also more openly rude and crude. Maybe that's partly because rude and crude is what has been pushed by the media on TV and in movies for so long. Sheeple still watch in herds, so that must be what they want to see, or is it?

[mitsymagicful]

@toddcharry No I don't think that's what people want to see, it's just brainwashing by the media, a dangerous power house of social control. Just look at the amount of people on Youtube selecting what they want to watch, I know I do...I never watch TV...I also get tired of TV programmes trying to get in sideways to youtube too audiences too...and as for education, it's what is actually taught now really, and for what purpose. Thanks for your comments...Mitsy

[fuzzballzz36]

@mitsymagicful I agree with you completely. People are programmed to watch what the networks want to sling out, just as they are programmed to work, shop and not complain. I think you also have an excellent point about education. Look how educational standards have fallen in the last 40 or so years, because if they're allowed to lower the standards, they don't look as bad! They aren't censured or don't have their budgets reduced! It's ridiculous. I think they should go back to teaching Latin.

[JohnPedant]

H. C. Shannon is right on the money. John MIlton's Paradise Lost (and Paradise Regained) is indeed an influence on this great skit. Peter Cook closely paraphrases the devil Mammon's contempt for "forced hallelujahs" in book of PL.

[mitsymagicful]

@JohnPedant Thanks for your comment, yeah that will be spot on...I think will have to get my old Eng Lit texts out from college again and have a read. Peter Cook was very well educated and his humour always appeals to an educated audience, isn't it funny in todays world that although more and more people are educated to a higher level the comedy we are dished out by the media becomes more stupid, a bit of a conundrum that one!

[KevServo]

Oh, and JULIE ANDREWS!!!

[mitsymagicful]

@KevServo Yeah wonderful wonderful just great eh? She so deserves to be mentioned here doesn't she LOL

[Cielamouroux]

They way they both laugh so sweetly for a moment when the woman's bag breaks is absolutely beautiful--one of the greatest moments in any picture I've ever watched.

[67psych]

@Cielamouroux Yeah that was so funny! Iv'e just watched that bit over half a dozen times.It cracks me up!! LOL

[clint076]

I love my country but hate my Satanic Government!

Our ignorant fellow citizens are too consumed with their own self absorption to stand against our Satanic, psycho, fascist, govt. This current crop of people are the reembodyment of the spine less “Good German citizens” of the 1930’s and 1940’s. – Clint

[mitsymagicful]

@clint076 Well said.

[holzapfelstein]

I love when the old lady's bag breaks!

P.S. Why was this movie so good (yet so underrated) while the remake was so sucking-eggs awful?

[mitsymagicful]

@holzapfelstein Yeah that is a funny bit. I think a lot of Peter Cook's work was underrated, maybe he was well before his time, humour-wise, as I don't think the establishment liked him did they? Although there is still no one to compare to him even now if you think about it, and the new Bedazzled was like a different film.

[holzapfelstein]

@mitsymagicful When I first saw the "modern" Bedazzled, I had no idea this original version existed. I watched the Brendan Frazier version & couldn't believe how bad and unfunny a movie it was. Then one night, the Cooke / Moore version was on PBS. At first I didn't realize what it was, but soon came to see it had the same plot & title. It's beyond me how Hollywood could completely ruin such a great concept by trying to remake it when they had a perfect template to follow.

[mitsymagicful]

@holzapfelstein That was lucky you found the original version..it happens a lot there's this film I saw in 2006 called School for Scoundrels..do you know it? it wasn't too good but was meant to be funny then I found out later it was a remake of a British film starring Terry Thomas that I had seen ages ago but forgotten about. Hollywood tries to cover these things up because its always someone elses talent:)

[MegF142857]

That's my favorite scene.

[mitsymagicful]

@MegF142857 Good, it's one of mine too haha!

[HCShannon]

I'm just read "Paradise Lost" in English class and it reminds me of this!

[mitsymagicful]

@HCShannon Yeah, it just goes to show how educated this humour is really:) Funnily enough I read that too...it's a difficult text!

[chopinesprit]

por favor, esa risita! cook&moore son lo mas grande que hay...

[mitsymagicful]

@chopinesprit Yes, Peter Cook's giggle is the greatest!

[chopinesprit]

@mitsymagicful ;) unique

[jrb1802uk]

At least the remake did give the superior original credit with the beach scene, and the two dogs.. wasn't they called Pete and Dud or something?

[MrElectrician59]

Not even the remake Bedazzled comes close to the original!

[beatlesopera]

Peter Cook's devil is hard not to like, and hard not to hate, at the same time.

[MrElectrician59]

HaHaHa That's terrible lol

This is my favorite part

[mitsymagicful]

@MrElectrician59 Dud has some funny lines in this too, I agree, and he says this just after laughing as his conscience kicks in, thanks for your comment.

[MrElectrician59]

@mitsymagicful These guys were a great team

[SleepyTymeT]

You FILL me with INERTIA!

[mitsymagicful]

@SleepyTymeT Who fills you with inertia??me, Peter Cook or georgeharrison22543? Left me pondering your exclamation there a bit.

[SleepyTymeT]

@mitsymagicful The line is the punchy final lyric in Peter Cook's TV pop music hit, "Bedazzled". It always cracks me up.

[SleepyTymeT]

It is at Au9_vfx6t6c

[mitsymagicful]

@SleepyTymeT Thanks for that link on you fill me with inertia, you know I just didn't make the connection when you first commented lol! yes it's a very funny line, it's when Peter upstages Dud in one of his wishes to be a popstar where Peter still attracts all the attention, isn't it funny how in real life it probably was somewhat the other way around when Dud went to America and made hit films being the centre of attention, ironic again!

[georgeharrison22543]

if you look up Peter Cook Bedazzled on Google images you can find close-ups of Peter. He's got the prettiest eyes!

And yes, his little giggle is perfect, just like him.

[SeadogErk]

brilliant.

[Procrastina777]

I LOVE the little giggle Peter does after the second time he tinkers with the parking meter. XD

Best. Movie. Ever... Cook is a genius. Period.

[mitsymagicful]

Thanks for your comment, all parking meters are fixed by the devil!!

[musemymuse]

Me too! So cute! One of my favorite movies of all time!

[guevashin]

I think this is one of my favourite movie scenes... the movie is fantastic- why the hell would they ever remake it

[mitsymagicful]

Exactly, you can't improve on perfection, this is by far the best and Peter Cook--comedy genius!

[bonchatbonrat]

@guevashin Especially with Brendan Fraser!?

This movie is great!

[TheYoungACDC]

@guevashin don't ramake man, a classic is a classic. ;)

[magalyzy]
