Peter Sellers doing Michael Caine 'not alot of people know that' Parkinson 70s

[zipcharisma]

Genius.

[WCSkills]

Spot on!!!

[Useless2112]

"A lot" is two words.

[figbat1]

PLEASE READ MY COMMENTS BELOW

can you work them out?

[jdkdar0902]

What an amazing man :-)

[mlawren7]

Actually, that impression wasn't that good after watching 'The Trip'. He gets the accent right but no nuance at all.

[jewelrox]

@mlawren7 Rob Brydons impersonation is spot on but Peter Sellers' delivery is much better.

[rosalindhulse]

I've looked for ages but cant find the full interview, help!!!

[thecubanism]

Sellers was a genius, show me anyone today who could appear on a chat show and enthrall millions of people, his Parkinson interviews are legendary, I'm so glad I was born in 1942, I've seen it all and done it all, the birth of rock and roll, the rise of real personalities, not the press born nobodies whose nasty antics get press coverage, I feel so sorry for the youth of today force fed the kind of meaningless shit expoused by Beiber and co, but, I'm happy, I know I am.

[ranman1213]

@thecubanism Funny you say that. I was born in 65 but have friends born around 42. I agree with you, it was exactly the perfect time to be born, before it, life was too hard, after it, too strange but you guys really got to live and be part of the great civilaztion when it was fun to be alive.

[monorio12]

RIP he was such a good man....I'll miss him

[mitchel3939]

R.I.P Michael Caine

[IFapToGayPorn]

@mitchel3939 lol

[CactusFlagg]

Michael Caine? He was just talking in his normal voice. Brydon adn Coogan do far superior versions.

People think as long as you say "not a lot of people know that", that it's a perfect copy of a Michael Caine impression.

[ChristopherDone]

@CactusFlagg Well, Sellers invented the "there's not many people know that" saying in the Goon Show, for Caine's fondness of telling obscure facts, so he's allowed to use that line. Unlike Coogan and Brydon, Sellers was using his mere charm and charisma to entertain, not just spouting rehearsed impressions.

[sirstrongbad]

@CactusFlagg see you're wrong, and this is why.. Peter Sellers doesn't HAVE his own voice.

[yellowcougar18]

I love how even Michael Caine loves this, and will still do the 'Michael Caine' impersonation.

[rtfuhj]

r.i.p he was a true great!

[lamb220986]

that was shit. can someone please remind me why this guy is now regarded as a genius? (dont mention dr strangelove, that was kubrick's baby)

[sfm1967]

@lamb220986 tell me now who is better then mr sellers please

[starquant]

Peter Sellers was a WIFE BEATER... ROT in HELL you unfunny WANKER.

[blickluke]

What is that originally from? like what movie is that line in

[somerandomer]

@blickluke I think I read somewhere that Peter Sellers actually came up with it, but it's subsequently become a Caine cliche that people don't actually realise he never said.

[obaidCarkey]

great comedian but what a nasty man in real life he was!

[Lieu3C4]

I'm surprised Peter Sellers knows it .

[onetthome]

that was terrible

[arbrento73]

Rob Brydon does an incredible Michael Caine, as anyone who saw The Trip will probably agree. Not only does he do Caine brilliantly, he has different impersonations of him from different times in his life, higher-pitched younger Caine all the way down to a deeper, rasping version after a lifetime of brandy and cigars. Incidentally, much as I love Sellers' work, he was apparently a complete bastard in his private life. "First rate mimic but third rate human" as someone else famous once said.

[milkmanv1]

@arbrento73 "All the cigars and the brandy can now be heard in the back of the voice."

[rtiffany17]

Michael Caine never said "Not many people know that."

I bet not many people know that.

[KenFromBeara]

@rtiffany17 Jimmy Cagney never said "you dirty rat". and humphrey bogart never said "play it again sam".

[watayapupuya]

@rtiffany17

How do you know?Have YOU never said that? What does it matter?

Anyway ,Caine ,as Richard Harris said,is an ignorant,flatulant...something or other,I forget.I don't care a damn ,anyway..I have my own life to live.

[rtiffany17]

@watayapupuya And why again are you butthurt about my comment? It was sarcasm, a play on words of sort. Maybe you need to spend less time on "teh internetz" and go back to school.

[watayapupuya]

@watayapupuya Why are you so cunt hurt?Maybe you spend too much time "TEH"" internetz"!

I was simply making a comment .

[kiroyale]

@watayapupuya Thank you for a new expression! I was getting tired of using "butt hurt" to explain my brother in law's reactions to everything. 

[Stenbrotsgatan]

Greatest comic ever!

[Roachenator]

@Stenbrotsgatan dont be stupid

[Rafabenitez01]

@Stenbrotsgatan Out of all the Goons , he was the funny one .

[gtrrs71]

SPOT on! The man was a genius! Cheers for the upload!

[50Violetta]

Peter is sorely missed! Wonderful talent.

[BeondaPale]

I wish this man would have lived longer - 55 years is too few

[GreatOne2033]

LOL Peter Sellers does an excellent Michael Caine impression. It would have been great to see those two in a movie together.

[goadtoad]

if you go and listen to michael caine in the 70s, you discover this is actually a very good impression.

[Nautilus1972]

That was a brutal Michael Caine impression.

[Sparta2310]

So the catch phrase should actually have been "now there's not many people know that" after everyone has been taking the piss out of M.C. with the "not a lot of people know that" for decades LMAO

[captainarchernx01]

He should oughtta lived, he should.

[usernameemanresu]

So did people think Peter sounded like Michael Caine here or were they just laughing at what he said?

All I can hear is a generic London accent. Phil Cornwell gives us some idea of how a Caine impression should go- /watch?v=wB2O4BPzvI8#t=0m53s

Please note - This is just a comment about this clip. I am not passing judgement on Sellers' other work and I am not comparing him to Phil Cornwell per se. It's just that when it comes to Caine impressions,Phil's is good and Peter's is average. IMO

[rrhynes]

@usernameemanresu To us Yanks, it sounds pretty close, but I'm sure your ear is more discerning.

[fishandfestival]

Sellers was to comedy what the Beatles were to music...The man could transform himself into any character of his choosing...I was amazed when I watched him in "The Party"...If one didn't know who Peter Sellers was, and watched that film, they would've thought that the man playing the lead role was, in fact, an Indian man...I think Adam Sandler and Mike Myers are brilliant at portraying persons from various ethnicities, but I have yet to see an impersonator of the callibre of Mr. Peter Sellers.

[littleliuboy]

@fishandfestival You should check out Peter Serafinowicz. he's a pretty good impersonator who's been in a few films and had his own TV show on the BBC

[BobDylanFan1966]

and michale caine was peter sellers in a tribut movie years later

[shivercanada]

OMG that's funny...especially the "tweed suit" info. Like that would make a difference! hahaha

[zeetek007]

I'm glad I found this amazing actor.

[kirkwanglers32]

Peter Sellers Very funny man.

RIP Mate

[MacJaxonManOfAction]

I'm not surprised to find that Peter does Michael better than Michael does Michael.

[BADALASS]

@MacJaxonManOfAction In his book of trivia, Michael reveals that he was just as god at imitating Peter - at least well enough to rocord the outgoing message on Peter's answerphone!

[gcowings]

Yeah wheres the rest of this interview. Id love to see it.

[FlamingoReaper]

I was/is a big fan of his. This is SO good, it is scary!

[charliebubblesoar]

I'm amazed... but not surprised. Peter Sellers can do anything. He's my hero

[scuzzy983]

Brilliant! If anyone has the rest of this interview could they upload it please?
