Tommy Cooper - The "Hats" Sketch

Thanks, but I don't think you know me well enough to tell me what humour I "get" and "don't get".

I simply made an objective criticism of the piece based on the content and the performance - niether of which support the idea that this is Tommy's "best ever sketch".

Differant Type Of Humour Mate. You Wouldnt Get It. Like Old Ronnie Corbett And The End Of The Two Ronnies. Just Sat there Telling A Story That Took For Ever And The Story Was Crap. But The Waay He Carried It Out Was Tremendous

He just had entertainment and funniness running through him - a brilliant man.

and when you think around this time his brother had just chinned Mohammed Ali.. you have to say that was a phenomenal set of kids.

And he's wearing make-up as well!

Tommy Cooper so mist

Amusing, and oddly touching, but not hysterically funny. The sketch went on a little too long, and there were definitely moments when ol' Tommy was going through the motions with the hat-switching. Also, the story being told lacked any real interest in itself - in fact it was rather dull - and meandered to an abrupt and anti-climactic stop.

No doubt TC was a very funny man, but objectively this sketch doesn't stand up as either a comedic masterpiece or his best ever routine.

Brilliant...Absolutley brilliant!

Tommy Cooper only had to walk on to stage and you were laughing.......
One of the best!

An absolute legend.

never been anyone to touch this genus since
