    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

    It's amazing that anyone of any age could enjoy this. I laugh at this as much now as I did when I was a kid.
  • 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!
  • @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,

    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.
  • 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.

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

    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.

    Good,clean honest entertainment! That's why he was so popular. Not much available these days.
  • @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.

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

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

    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

    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.
