I'm an American and I GET British humor. I have always given the British credit for being much funnier than Americans, primarily because British comedy is much more intelligent. I agree, Americans do NOT like to think about comedy. As such, they won't get British humor. I love the subtly, intelligence, word-play, and double entendre of British humor. I love The Two Ronnies, Morecombre and Wise, Leonard Rossiter, among others.
Two things: 1. This and the Glass/Bottle sketch are the best. Without doubt! 2. The yanks never get humour, even those in the entertainment business whom claim to know when someone has "it" or not. When Cooper was performing his run in Las Vegas, after his 2nd performance in some casino he was pulled in to the office and told to get his act together because "the same tricks went wrong tonight, as they did last night" Fuckin retards.
Actually, I appreciate his humour and I am an American. Got hooked since watching it on Saturday Mornings on ITV3. It's actually quite similar to the US comedian Red Skelton. But I do agree that Americans usually don't get British Humour. Unless if it's Monty Python, Mr. Bean, and Benny Hill. Tommy Cooper was great!
Tommy Cooper was a legend... I don't really understand what wars, empires or Vietnam has to do with it though. Quite frankly this entire conversation seems a bit juvenile and silly - if you want to rant about military history then why not go and discuss it somewhere else. I don't really care whether someone the other side of the World understands my sense of humour or not - that's what makes people / nations different. You don't like it? Get over it!
lol I keep getting email updates about this second rate comedy video my Italian friend showed me, fucking britts, hey are all butt-hurt because there empire was raped by the entire world!
Are you actually serious. Have you never spent a minute in a history class? You are talking about a country that owned half of the civilised world. Their empire wasnt raped either, it was conceded to the natives because it was TOO BIG TO CONTROL. Not that you could possibly understand that - never having conquered a single country, you fucking child.
@keeperofthecheese Didn't we lose the empire after WWII because money kept us ruling but then we skint and lost it all. But then again we got Australia still... Over a third of the world and people slag us off. A third of the world with wooden ships of the Georgian era, so many trade routes they all prospered. Your comments two months old but I had to get something in just Americans aren't taught British history like their crammed with their own.
One of my fave jokes was when he said "I was out in the street the other day when a bloke came up to me and said "Have you seen a policeman around here, sir?" I said "No, I'ven't." He said "Stick 'em up!"
@STFC010 I disagree its such a clee-shay that Americans dont get British humour. So many top american writers have been influenced by British comedy. monty python was the biggest inspiration to southpark. LOOK at the success of the Office over there. . Friends is a funny show, you may not like it but its still very well written and is enjoyed by loads of British people. America has also produced so many classics Seinfeld, Curb, Arreted Developemnent, Mash, I love Lucy.
American comedy is a quick one line retort, which in the main is not funny. Now if you look at Tommy, we know someone is pulling the string to make the spoon move. What makes it funny is that he is taking the piss out of himself, while letting us in on this fact. American comics have to come across as intelligent know all's, whereas we couldn't care less how intelligent they are, so long as they are funny.
@vashonwashington Americans lost most of the battles in the American War of Independance and were saved by their French allies. Then they lost most of the battles in the war of 1812 and lost the war.
@vashonwashington read up man it was the french who beat us the first time with american support and the second time was mostly canada as britain was busy fighting napoleon
@KILJaden35BETA do not use the old British historical denial of defeat! first of it was the American militias that seized Boston, New York and Philadelphia, on the western front we captured all your forts and the once proud English commander Hamilton. And the if you claim that it was the 10,000 men on the entire continent who only engaged in a few of the final engagements in the southern theater then you are mad. even if they were decisive in the south you lost in all other American theater!!!
@vashonwashington Dear god man have you nothing elce better to do than bring that up on a clip of a british great , get some fresh air son its history move on , they did in vietnam ......
@vashonwashington why are you stirring up hate towards the British on a tommy cooper video??
Anyway,
You don't know us! We are just everyday people living life the best we can with our family's.
I take it you are American? A large number of "English American" are part of your society. British settlers have helped shape the way America was formed.
Remember , Its not the British people who were your enemy, It was the powers to be.
Americans will never understand Tommy as they have a diffa
rant sense of humor to the English, you just have to watch friends to realise that. What an awful so called comedy i cant believe it lasted for 10 series
Americans will never understand Tommy as they have a differant sense of humor to the English, you just have to watch friends to realise that. What an awful so called comady i cant believe it lasted for 10 series
Tell me about it. My sister thought Friends was hilarious, I watched it with her one time because I never watched it before so I thought I'd check it out but it bored me to death! I found some bits funny but most of the time I didn't find it very entertaining at all. Don't get me wrong I do like American comedy's but Friends just didn't really do it for me :/
@STFC010 Not really... I like both American and British stuff, and dislike other American and British stuff. The two countries have only been apart for 200 years. Try watching Asian humor.
@STFC010 i agree with you on that i hate the stand up comedians from america so boring but friends is still quality like family guy and the simpsons and all that there brilliant
This is the humour that we all attempt everyday with our mates that if funny. However, Tommy takes it to another level where even the sound of his footsteps on the floor are hillarious! Long live Tommy Cooper, the greatest
condeming them to death? hahahaha. No sir, if you look at your comment you're the one doing that - "but I would condemn those who don't to death" - foooool! how about you stop taking my comment so seriously. As if it was ACTUALLY saying i wanted people to die haha. Bore off!
@iGod1990 Everyone has different opinions, dickhead. I like Tommy Cooper, but I would condemn those who don't to death. That's just plain fucking stupid. You comment on a comedy video with something so serious, aggresive, and dull. It's pathetic.
@ser997 A shame you can't spell. As for his death I watched that show, he was in the middle of his act when he just collapsed, it seemed at the time typical of his humour. We soon realised something was wrong when he stayed down, it was live TV so many people saw it, and as they went straight to a break we knew something was wrong. Even in death he was funny, long live Tommy.
HELP!! Tommy did a sketch with a hairy glove (Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde). I can't find a copy or download anywhere. Anyone know where I can find it, please?
Im 20 and was brought up on Tommy cooper as a young boy.. and I still laugh out loud at his jokes. Many people dont appreciate the work that he did, and the pure genius that he was.
Forever in our hearts Mr Cooper.. COMEDY LEGEND..! x
@moggs69 it was the styling really that did it for people, he threw away the punch line, yes its not that shocking now, but 40 years ago it was cutting edge
Really? That shows a real lack of imagination, I think.
Some in America will find it very funny.
Some American humour is very funny. It's not all obvious jokes over the pond, you're being superior and stereotyping - I think it's incredibly tedious.
@Idioteque129 To be fair he played Vegas and went down a storm. They offered him regular spots but he'd got lots of work on in the UK and had to decline. He went on the Ed Sullivan show twice with Sullivan calling him 'the funniest man ever'.
It's wrong to say the Americans didn't get Tommy, they just didn't get the opportunity to see him as often as us!
@ranmanplan3000 is that why you remake lots of our comedies / dramas for your own needs ( usually completely fucking them up in the process ) Take the Office . Wasnt meant to last 10 seasons & have the central character leave the show. Whats next for Dunder Mifflin , alien abductions or a hostage crisis ?
Actually nobody is wrong Tommy Cooper was the original Marmite even at the height of his fame he left some people cold I loved him to bits but I don't mind if you didn't that's just life ps I can't bear Ricky Gervais but millions thinks he's a genius. QED
He was just an absolutely gorgeously funny lunatic. I was only a kid when he died and we were watching and it was terribly sad but he died doing what he loved and he was one of our funniest comedians.
my god there are some sad people about to leave rude and sad coments.this man was brill and better than all of the stars today who can only get people to smile with there f and b words .thankyou tommy for making millons of people happy .RIP
Rip tommy.. This guy always made us laugh with his failed magic tricks, this was family comedy at its best without racism or offending people, tommy cooper was a big man with a bigger heart. Will always thank this man for making us smile.

It's wrong to say the Americans didn't get Tommy, they just didn't get the opportunity to see him as often as us!

@Idioteque129 I find it pretty hilarious that you are convinced that is the actual reason he wasn't popular.

@aspiringdrummer17 Americans and Brits have different humour although sometimes there is a cross over, appreciate both. Tommy Cooper and Bob Newheart

@ranmanplan3000 is that why you remake lots of our comedies / dramas for your own needs ( usually completely fucking them up in the process ) Take the Office . Wasnt meant to last 10 seasons & have the central character leave the show. Whats next for Dunder Mifflin , alien abductions or a hostage crisis ?

I live near Caerphilly, where Tommy was born, and often see his statue as I drive past, which raises a smile.

Actually nobody is wrong Tommy Cooper was the original Marmite even at the height of his fame he left some people cold I loved him to bits but I don't mind if you didn't that's just life ps I can't bear Ricky Gervais but millions thinks he's a genius. QED

A good head for business, but no sense of humor. And on top of that, a nasty character. The usual combination.

He was just an absolutely gorgeously funny lunatic. I was only a kid when he died and we were watching and it was terribly sad but he died doing what he loved and he was one of our funniest comedians.

Rip tommy.. This guy always made us laugh with his failed magic tricks, this was family comedy at its best without racism or offending people, tommy cooper was a big man with a bigger heart. Will always thank this man for making us smile.
