People refer to him as a comedy genius but I don't get him. Whenever they show old clips I don't get anything he does in his routine, his form of comedy or anything. There's alot of old comedians who I don't find that funny but I still get their appeal, like Hancock, Milligan, Frankie Howard, Peter Cook etc. But Cooper? Just don't find him remotely funny in any way?

I have to confez that I like him..... A list of his finest repertoire which inspired Tim Vine... Two Aerials met on a roof - fell in love - got married. Apparently, 1 in 5 people in the world are Chinese. So I was getting into my car, and this bloke says to me Police arrested two kids yesterday, one was drinking battery acid, I was driving down the motorway with my bird the other day when we Two men were caught stealing a Calendar. A man went to the Psychiatrists and said he thought he was a dog. A man went to the doctors and said he thought he was a biscuit. A man went to the doctors and said he thought he was a pack of cards. A man went to the Butchers. A man went to the Butchers and asked for some bacon. A man in a restaurant asked the waiter to call him a taxi. A man went into a Restaurant. A man went into a restaurant. A man went to a guest house and knocked on the door. I was up in my loft the other day. Why is it that if you go into a library and shout "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" I was in the bookies the other day. I want to die like my Grandad......peacefully in his sleep. I'd like to know where I am going to die........................... Did you hear about the couple that made love in the Plumber position?

Tremendous.
I thought Tommy Cooper was terrific and saw him twice on stage.

I like mostly slapstick stuff, particularly reeves + Mortimer. But for comedy genius I would say Seinfeld.

Comedy often ages really badly. Take Hale and Pace for example.

I know right, I used to work when it was on, so I had to record it and watch it the following day, by which point it was no longer funny... I love Tommy Cooper. There is just something about his whole 'anarchic' performance of 's**t magic and haphazard quick fire jokes', that is just pure magic. Him and Bob Monkhouse, were probably among the best of the old timer UK stand up solo comedy acts (Bernard Manning would be my third choice - Much maligned but very talented). I think as well he was one of those few comedians who could make a show look like it wasn't rehearsed at all and entirely improvised (and thus more personal - apparently he once did 52 shows in one week which is impressive in anyone's book). For someone who was actually a respected and talented magician, I don't think I've ever really seen him do a 'proper' magic trick, only his farce of magic tricks.

He did proper magic plenty of times: he made the audience disappear.
