The Tommy Cooper Crap Joke Thread

I nearly couldn't breath for a while I laughed so much reading that.

In fact I'm still laughing when I think about it. :D

I'd forgotten the cricket ball joke was his, i keep thinking of that and laughing, too. As said, though, they're all good if you imagine him saying them.

I loved the sketch where he came on stage and held a sheet in front of him. There was lots of wriggling the sheet around magician's style, and when he whipped it away he'd taken his trousers off.
 
Went to the dentist the other day. He said my teeth are ok but my gums have to come out.

Waiting for the dentist i was reading the magazines...
Ain't it awful about the titanic?

On the other hand...
Four fingers and a thumb.
 
When I was a teenager I was screwing someone on a golf course during a thunderstorm. A bolt of lightening hit us and my partner died. I didn't, because, as luck would have it, I was wearing a rubber. It was bad enough dealing with the ambulance people and the police, but when I got home, my dad said, "You're grounded, young man!"
 
A man takes his Rottweiler to the vet. 'My dog's cross-eyed, is there anything you can do for him? 'Well, 'says the vet, 'let's have a look at him' so he picks the dog up and examines his eyes, then checks his teeth.
Finally, he says ' I'm going to have to put him down. 'What? Because he's cross-eyed?' No, because he's really heavy'

:D


That's one of my fav all time jokes !


:D
 
many of Tim Vine's jokes were pilfered for 'Tommy Cooper- the musical'- including the one about having a Chinese brother

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Vine (the second section ('jokes') includes many of his quips, some of which were stolen)

my favourite Tim Vine joke, which is in a Tommy Cooper stylee-

"so, I got a job at Burger King. one day, Andrew Lloyd Webber walks in. he sez 'give me two large whoppers'

I said 'you're a good-looking man, and your musicals are great'"

A latter-day Canute could spend their whole life on the Internet trying to stop people from misattributing Tim Vine jokes. :(
 
Many of the jokes Tommy Cooper told were of the antiquated 'author anon' variety, mind, and as esm says, some of Vine's jokes are recycled too.
 
The cricket ball one & the Tom Jones one are absolute top quality.

And definately a million times better because of Cooper's delivery.

And Tim Vine is brilliant too.
 
Does anybody remember watching him die on stage? (Literally die of course, not metaphorically)... I was just checking on wiki... it was in 1984! God, I was only nine
 
Fucking hell, just read this bit on wiki:
However, he never stopped drinking and could be fallible: on an otherwise triumphant appearance with Michael Parkinson he forgot to set the safety catch on the guillotine illusion into which he had cajoled Parkinson. Only a last-minute intervention by the floor manager saved Parkinson's life.

:eek:
 
I went into the chip shop and asked for fish and chips twice.

The man who served me said "i heard you the first time!"
 
I went to the doctors and I said, I said, "Doctor, my arm hurts in lots of places".
He said, "Well don't go to those places".
 
Here's a whole load of his jokes all in one place:

Man goes to the doc, with a strawberry growing out of his head. Doc says 'I'll give you some cream to put on it.'

He said 'I'm going to chop off the bottom of one of your trouser legs and
put it in a library.' I thought 'That's a turn-up for the books.

And the back of his anorak was leaping up and down, and people were
chucking money to him. I said 'Do you earn a living doing that?' He said
Yes, this is my livelihood.'

So I was getting into my car, and this bloke says to me 'Can you give me a lift?' I said 'Sure, you look great, the world's your oyster, go for it.'

So I got home, and the phone was ringing. I picked it up, and said 'Who's speaking please? ' And a voice said 'You are.'

So I rang up a local building firm, I said 'I want a skip outside my
house.' He said 'I'm not stopping you.

I went to the doctors. He said 'I'd like you to lie on the couch'. I said
What for?' He said 'I'd like to sweep the floor'

I went to the doctors. He said 'What appears to be the problem?'. I said
'I keep having the same dream, night after night, beautiful girls rushing
towards me and I keep pushing them away'. He said 'How can I help?'. I said 'Break my arms!'

My wife had a go at me last night. She said 'You'll drive me to my grave'.
I had the car out in thirty seconds.

I went up into the attic and found a Stradivarius and a Rembrandt.
Unfortunately Stradivarius was a terrible painter and Rembrandt made lousy violins.

One year I got a bike for my birthday. So I went peddling off down the
road and knocked an old lady down. 'Can't you ring your bell?' She said.
'I can ring my bell,' I said 'But I can't ride my bike'

We were coming in to land, and it affects your ears, doesn't it? The
Stewardess gave me chewing gum. I put it in my ear. Took two days to get it out.

This little old lady was frightened. She looked at me, she said 'Do
something religious'. So I took up a collection.

I'm on a whiskey diet. I've lost three days already.

A policeman stopped me the other night, he taps on the window of the car and says: 'Would you please blow into this bag, Sir'. I said: 'What for,
Officer?' He says: 'My chips are too hot'.

I got stopped again last night by another policeman. He says: 'I'd like to
follow you to the nearest Police Station'. I said 'What For?'. He said:
'I've forgotten the way'.

So I said to the taxi driver, 'King Arthur's Close'. He said, 'Don't
worry, we'll lose him at the next set of lights'

A man walks into a greengrocer's and says, I want five pounds of potatoes please. And the greengrocer says, we only sell kilos. So the man says, alright then, I'll have five pounds of kilos.

And he said 'My dog doesn't eat meat'. I said 'Why not?'. He said 'We
don't give him any'

I knocked at my friend's door and his wife answered the door. I said 'Is
Jim in?'. She didn't reply, just stood there looking at me. So I asked
again. Just then a woman appeared at his wife's elbow. 'Sorry luv' she
said 'We buried him last Thursday'. 'He didn't say anything about a pot of yellow paint before he went, did he?'

I went to Blackpool on holiday and knocked at the first boarding house
that I came to. A women stuck her head out of an upstairs window and said What do you want?'. 'I'd like to stay here' 'Ok. Stay there'.

I went to the doctor. He said 'you've got a very serious illness'. I said
'I want a second opinion'. He said 'all right, you're ugly as well'.

When I was in the scouts, the leader told me to pitch a tent. I couldn't
find any pitch, so I used creosote.

I went into this pub, and I ate a ploughman's lunch. He was livid.

I got home from work and the wife said - I'm very sorry dear, but the
cat's eaten your dinner'. I said 'Dont worry - I'll get you a new cat'.

I went into this ice cream parlour and said 'I'd like a vanilla cone'.
The assistant said 'Hundreds and thousands ?'. I said 'No - I'll just have
the one'.

He said 'knickerbocker glory?' I said 'I do get a certain amount of
freedom in these trousers, yes.'

I've always been unlucky. I had a rocking horse once, and it died.

I said to the waiter, I said 'This chicken I've got is cold'. He said 'I
should think so. It's been dead for two weeks'. 'Not only that', I said,
'It's got one leg shorter than the other'. He said 'What do you want to
do, eat it or dance with it?'

Sometimes I drink my whiskey neat. Other times I take my tie off and leave my shirt out.

My wife and I were fighting like hammer and tongs. She won, she had the hammer.

I hurt my back the day. I was playing piggy back with my 6 year old
nephew, and I fell off. '

Doc, I can't stop singing the green green grass of home.' 'That sounds
like Tom Jones syndrome. ' 'Is it common?' 'It's not unusual.'

A man takes his Rottweiler to the vet. 'My dog's cross-eyed, is there
anything you can do for him? ' 'Well,' says the vet, 'let's have a look at
him' So he picks the dog up and examines his eyes, then checks his teeth. Finally, he says 'I'm going to have to put him down.' 'What? Because he's cross-eyed? ' 'No, because he's really heavy'

Guy goes into the doctor's. 'Doc, I've got a cricket ball stuck up my
backside.' 'How's that?' 'Don't you start'

So I rang up my local swimming baths. I said 'Is that the local swimming
baths?' He said 'It depends where you're calling from.'

I went to the butchers the other day and I bet him 50 quid that he
couldn't reach the meat off the top shelf. And he said, 'no, the steaks
are too high.'

I was cleaning out the attic the other day with the wife. Filthy, dirty
and covered with cobwebs.... but she's good with the kids...

Apparently, 1 in 5 people in the world are Chinese. And there are 5 people in my family, so it must be one of them. It's either my mum or my dad. Or my older brother Colin Or my younger brother Ho-Cha-Chu. But I think it's Colin.

Two fat blokes in a pub, one says to the other 'your round.' The Other
one says 'so are you, you fat b*stard'

So I went to the dentist. He said 'Say Aaah.' I said 'Why?' He said 'My
dog's died.''

Now, most dentist's chairs go up and down, don't they? The one I was in
went back and forwards. I thought 'This is unusual'. And the dentist said
to me 'Mr Cooper, get out of the filing cabinet.''

A blind bloke walks into a shop with a guide dog. He picks the dog up and starts swinging it around his head. Alarmed, a shop assistant calls out: 'Can I help, sir?' 'No thanks,' says the blind bloke. 'Just looking.'

Cos it's strange, isn't it. You stand in the middle of a library and go
'Aaaaaaagghhhh' and everyone just stares at you. But you do the same thing on an aeroplane, and everyone joins in.

You know, somebody actually complimented me on my driving today. They left a little note on the windscreen, it said 'Parking Fine.' So that was nice.

I went to Millets and said 'I want to buy a tent.' He said 'To camp?', I
said (butchly) 'Sorry, I want to buy a tent.' I said 'I also want to buy a caravan.' He said 'Camper?' I said (campily) 'Make your mind up.'


So I was in my car, and I was driving along, and my boss rang up, and he said 'You've been promoted.' And I swerved. And then he rang up a second time and said 'You've been promoted again.' And I swerved again. He rang up a third time and said 'You're managing director.' And I went into a tree. And a policeman came up and said 'What happened to you?' And I said 'I careered off the road.'

This fella is on safari in Africa when he comes across an elephant lying
on the ground, in distress. He investigates and finds a thorn in its foot.
He removes it, and the elephant trots merrily away.Twenty years on, the
man is standing in the street in London watching a circus procession pass by. When the elephant gets level with him, it stops, looks straight at him, reaches out with its trunk, lifts him bodily into the air, smashes
him on the ground and jumps on him. It was a different elephant.
 
Worth repeating:
I went into this ice cream parlour and said 'I'd like a vanilla cone'.
The assistant said 'Hundreds and thousands ?'. I said 'No - I'll just have
the one'.

He said 'knickerbocker glory?' I said 'I do get a certain amount of
freedom in these trousers, yes.'

:D
 
One of my all time favourites:

"I woke up the other night. I had one foot up here like this (pushing the flat of the hand under his chin), and the other up there like that; not like that (rotating his hand and back again), like that.
Then I thought to myself; My feet are killing me".
 
Being introduced to the Queen after the Royal Variety,
Maam, can I ask you a personal question.
She says "yes" while the entourage look on nervously.
"Do you like football? Cos if you don't, could I have your tickets to the Cup final?
 
A quite terrifying statue of the man:

Possibly not as weird (and unrecognisable) as the Ernie Wise one in Morley:

I was sitting in my car and a man says; 'could you give me a lift'
I said you look great the world's your oyster

I cut the bottom off my trousers in the library, thats a turn up for the books.
 
Don't remember this thread originally - just had a read through and a good chuckle - I love Tommy Cooper jokes!
