“I’ve had a pain here all day.” He then produces a pane of glass. A typical English play on words. This is an example of homophones. Words that sound the same, but are spelled differently.
Tommy Cooper is a magician, but he sometimes has tricks go wrong for laugh. I have a bunch of videos of him up. You should see the video I have which includes some of his most famous tricks "Tommy Cooper - Spoon, Jar, Jar, Spoon & Glass bottle, Bottle glass - 1974"
His shows would normally start with a routine like this of jokes and tricks, then he would have a selection of sketches, with some involving the special guest aswell as some songs or dancing on the longer shows. I have one of his fun famous sketches up "Tommy Cooper - Cooking with duck - 1973"
TC was unique. As British as they come but you cannot really compare him with anyone else. Born in Caerphilly (Wales) and there is a lovely statue of him there, next to the ancient Castle. Check it out on Google images: complete with fez!
Tommy Cooper was a brilliant Magician but he was naturally extremely funny RIP Tommy Cooper. The GPO used to be what ran our Post Offices and Telephones in the UK!
He was just daft. You don't try to attach meaning to his jokes as they are just silly, and very funny. In the 1970s our family would be laughing at him as soon as he appeared on the tv. He didn't have to do anything to make people laugh. They just loved him.

Bring back The GPO
hardy walked by
If only it was possible to use a small telephone as a means to avoid big telephone bills.
He was an accomplished magician, but he blew his tricks for laughs.
He was a heavy alcoholic
Tim Vine, a more sophisticated Tommy :)

Tommy Cooper was not funny
...to people with no sense of humour!
