11. Man goes to the doctor, with a strawberry growing out of his head. Doc says “I’ll give you some cream to put on it.”
12. ‘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.”
13. A man takes his Rotteweiller to the vet. “My dog is cross-eyed, is there anything you can do for him?” “Well,” said the vet, “let’s have a look at him” So he picks the dog up and examines his eyes, then he 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”

Dear oh dear… TRAGIC!
sorry to be pedantic but you’ve been had, none of those jokes are accurate Tommy Cooper gags…
some are similar to real stuff but some are way off…
I mean, gags about rottweillers and tone-dialling telephones attributed to a comedian of 70s/80s Britain when neither was common back then?
Those are either Yanks or more modern comedians imitating his style – and not very well IMO….
TBH most of his comedy was the visual gags as well… pissed up embarrasing old dad/uncle stylee…and the magic tricks….
Even when he had a fatal heart attack on his last royal variety performance in 1984 people thought it was part of the act – then because it was sudden death the stage became a “potential crime scene” due to HM Coroners rules..
everyone else in other acts had to work around his body…and he was a big man so it caused proper chaos and obstructions on stage..
Now that is a class act IMO, performing beyond the grave..
Number 14 made me crease, big up april!
Oh, and surly this should be in the jokes and humour section??
I’ll move it – BTW these are genuine Tommy Cooper jokes…
Throughout our marriage, my wife has always stood by my side. She had to.
We’ve only got one chair.I was showing my wife this one. I said, ‘Look at this dear.’ I always call her dear.
She’s got antlers growing out of the side of her head.I was woken up this morning by a tap on the door. I must remember to get the
plumber to take it off.There have been times that I have known disappointment, even despair. The public never
realised because I was laughing on the outside while I was crying on the inside. Very
dangerous that – you could easily drown.At the Royal Command Performance 1964, Tommy walks on stage with a heater he says,
‘They told me to go out and warm the crowd up.’A man walked into a bar. Ouch………It was an iron bar.
A woman told her doctor, ‘I’ve got a bad back.’ The doctor said, ‘It’s old age.’ The woman said, ‘I want a second opinion.’
The doctor says, ‘OK. You’re ugly as well.’A man is trying to sell his dog. So he stops another man and says, ‘Wanna buy a dog? He’s very clever look at this.’ He throws a stick into the pond and says, ‘Fetch that, Rover.’ The dog gets up on his hind legs and walks across the water and gets the stick. ‘Thats no good to me mate,’ said the man. ‘He can’t swim.’
A man went to the doctor and said, ‘I need help urgently. I keep dreaming that women come into my bedroom and I keep pushing them away.’ The doctor said, ‘What do you want me to do?’And the man said, ‘Cut my arms off.’
A woman phoned her husband and said, ‘The carburettor is full of water.’ ‘Where’s the car?’
the man said. ‘In the river,’ she replied.I’m on a whiskey diet. I’ve lost three days already.
I went to see the doctor the other day. I had to. He was ill.
A man goes to the doctor. The doctor tells him that he has three minutes to live. ‘Doctor
what can you give me?’ The man says. ‘A hard boiled egg,’ says the doctor.A child of three can do this trick. I wish he was here now.
I got into this taxi and I said to the driver, ‘King Arthur’s Close.’ And the driver said,
‘Don’t worry Tommy, I’ll shake him off at the first corner.’I slept like a log last night. I woke up in the fireplace.
This Irish man backed this horse on a ten pence accumulator and it won thousands and
thousands of pounds. He went to the bookmaker who said, ‘I’m not a very big bookmaker,
I’m not one of the top line bookmakers, I’ll tell you what I’ll do, I’ll give you a thousand pound
each week and we’ll go on like that.’ The Irish man said, ‘I’m not having that give me my ten pence back.’I went to the doctor the other day, I said I’ve broke my leg in three places. He said, ‘Don’t go to those places.’
I hurt my arm. I went to the Doctors to get it mended. After, I asked the Doctor if when its mended could I play the piano?
He said yes. I said, ‘That’s funny I couldn’t play it before.’Just before the show the producer took me to one side. And left me there. He said, ‘How do you feel tonight?’ I said, ‘A bit funny’ – ‘Well get out there before it wears off.’
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.’Did you hear that joke about the fire-eater? She hiccuped and cremated herself.
I met this man at the airport and I asked him if he`d like to share a taxi with me. He said he would, I said, ‘You take the engine, I`ll take the wheels!’
I went into the bank today. I said, ‘Could you check my balance?’ – They pushed me over!
I bought this budgie…I went to a pet shop and bought him a cage, a mirror, a ladder, a bell, a string and ball, a little plank to walk on, a bath…..Then, a few days later I found him lying on his back, gasping! I said, ‘little Budgie, please don`t die! I bought you a cage, a mirror, a ladder, a bell, a string and ball, a plank to walk on , a bath….I bought you everything that money can buy……Don`t do this to me, don`t die!!!! Why are you lying on your back?’ Then the budgie looked up at and croaked his final croak….’That pet shop where you bought the cage, the mirror, the string and ball, the bell, the ladder, the bath,’my mate asks, ‘Was there any food there?’
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?’A man goes into a petshop – He says, ‘I’d like to buy a wasp please.’ The shopkeeper says, ‘Sorry Sir, but
we don’t sell wasps.’ Man says, ‘But you’ve got one in the window!!’I got on a train the other day and sat next to a young woman reading a book called Sex Statistics.
‘Any good?’ I asked. ‘Fascinating. American Indians have the widest manhood and Polish men the
longest. By the way, I’m Jane.’ ‘Hi’, I replied, ‘I’m Tonto Polanski.’My back is killing me. I’ve strained it. I was playing piggy-back, with my little boy, and I fell off.
Tommy (RIP) was a funny man
and he was born a few yards from where i am now!
I got into this taxi and I said to the driver, ‘King Arthur’s Close.’ And the driver said,
‘Don’t worry Tommy, I’ll shake him off at the first corner.’
a reference to a local street

Where are you then? word on the street has it his mum used to run a fruit and veg shop on my local high street. Cooper is a very common name in southampton.
And on the subject of classic jokes, did you hear the one about the magic tractor? It went down the lane and turned into a field! BOOM BOOM
sorry to be pedantic but you’ve been had, none of those jokes are accurate Tommy Cooper gags…
quote by general lightening….
:laugh_at: for fuks sake man …stop being pedantic…..enjoy the humour….ok ……………………raaa you put a dampener on there dude :bounce_fl

I disagree that I put a dampener on the humour – sorry if you think so, I would argue I added to it.. If I’d just said the jokes were fake or picked apart more of the rougher aspects of Mr Coopers life then your comment would be fair enough…
I already apologised for being pedantic in the previous post but I don’t like seeing people pass off their work on the back of someone elses glory in any field. A DJ or musician wouldn’t like it if their mix tape or track was ripped off by another DJ (and this has happened)! If it happened on one of the music forums there would be absolute carnage…
I waited a day before replying to make sure that I wasn’t just complaining but could add something positive as well – I would say my reply was light-hearted, discussed a lot of his other good points – and I also found some more jokes from the man himself, rather than pale imitations..
surely two pages of jokes are funnier than one?
With music, what would you rather have, a commercialised rip off derivative track or the original, or better still have access to both if they are available so everyone can decide what is best?
Same goes for comedy IMO – yes, I am a big fan of British comedy (and British creative talent as a whole) so I do tend to take it a bit seriously :laugh_at:)
PS: loads of his visual stuff here

I can’t embed them as they are technically copyright and the more people do it the more likely that Fremantle Media (Thames)) will have them removed – but should be enough links to keep everyone going 🙂
