Oh man, Phil Cool was excellent. I saw him perform in 1994 and it was just great. Real pro. Pity that he isn't on the tv now.

Dave david jacklin best keep him in the 80’s

Absolutely brilliant. Saw him live, way way back and his talent has never been beaten.

I had forgotten how brilliant a performer he was , thanks for showing this clip

His alien face was truly horrific ! Who needs cgi when you have Phil ! I remember our national impersonator Mike Yarwood being greatly overshadowed by Phil, who took impersonations and inventiveness to a whole new level. In fact his 80’s material is still fresh and brilliant today.

Awesome! Phil Cool....his impressions were always spot on...He did the best Rolf Harris...oh dear...the kiddie fiddler. But at least Phil Cool was genuine! The man is a legend.

Saw Phil Cool at Preston Polytechnic - (Poulton-Le-Fyide Campus) Students Union in 1982. He wasn’t famous then but you could tell he was going to be a star.

wth just discovered this guy, im french. How come he s not the most famous if them all ? fuking genius he is

I've followed this grate man from over 30 years ago.i last saw him at the Ashcroft therter in croydon 8 years ago.what a grate man.

Phil Cool’s impersonation of a VW Beetle was quite possibly the funniest thing I have ever seen 🤣🤣

His alien impression was truly terrifying 😱🤣👍

He was brilliant. Miss him not being on the telly anymore.

Phil cool you are a great comedian and a great performer and when you do your mimicking with your face you scare me because the face expretions are just so great phil and I hope that you enjoy your retirement and phill you are a great man and all the very best to you and your family

Always such a talent, able to make a cast of thousands, without the need of CGI, dubbing or any prosthetics! Able to 'do' the voices flawlessly also.

Saw him live just before he retired: genius

I saw him with Jasper Carrott in Dublin in 2005. Great night.

Phil "Cool" one of Britain's best. Just goes to show that in years gone by, you could be really funny without resorting to the kind of language used by the "so called" comedians of today. Thanks Phil, and all your contemporaries for that observational humour which is so lacking in the world of tv entertainment today. I read somewhere, Phil has had a quadruple heart bypass, hope you're feeling better soon Phil.

The heart they put in was actually a leg of lamb. It was just doing a very convincing impression of a heart.

One of the best. Always had me in stitches.

Pure brilliance

Absolutely Brilliant Phil Cool...So Underated..

One of the finest British talents of the last few decades. It annoys me how he is never even mentioned on any those shows about the history of comedy or impressionism. It's always Bremner, McGowan, and Culshaw. Sure, they had skills, but Phil could run rings around them in terms of overall talent. He was the true successor to Mike Yarwood.

Agree totally, outstanding impersonator, incredible vocal sbs physical control, pretty much in a league of his own

Phil Cool was superb

My friend told me the best mimic and I have to agree.

I had forgotten how good this guy was, he probably wasn't 'Cool' when I was a smartass teenager so my vague memory of him was mildly negative but after I checking this out I have to say he was a brilliant talent.

Genius.

Well observed in this case it's nothing to do with objectivity Phil Cool, like him or not, is insanely talented and that there can be no argument. I lived near him for a short time and always hoped to bump into him in the Sun Inn pub drinking his mild but I never got to meet my hero.

Lee Evans is a Norman Wisdom Clone. Phil Cool was unique.

Lee Evans stole Norman Wisdoms Act ..

The UK's Jim Carrey a genius . Unsung criminally . Should have been huge

Very much of his time, his best impressions by far were Jimmy Saville and Rolf Harris, like most impressionist and comics of the 70s, and 80s if you could do Saville and Rolf Harris good you were on to a good thing, everyone knew who they were they were always on and were very popular. Of course today everyone says how they never liked them etc etc, which is just a collective guilt, because they are embarrassed by it.

Mr Rubber face. Phils E.T is the best . Hope your happy in your retirement, talented Genius....

Phil Cool is a unique talent,there has been nobody quite like him. Some of the stuff was genius and no one else since has been able to do. I think had he been on the otherside of the pond he could have been a world superstar in the right company. Stay well Mr Cool. To say he was a Jasper Carrott clone is crass and ludicrous ! Did you ever see him live or just snippets on TV ?

Brilliant

Legend

this guy is great lmss

It is such a shame that a lot of talent such as Phil Cool is brought to the attention of viewers via TV only to slide into oblivion, Known as the man with the rubber face he was the best impersonator around at the time, I could never take to Rory Bremner, But Phil Cool was the best.

Where is he now what's happened to to him ? He was UTTER BRILLIANT!!! 👍👍👍👍👍😉. I am probably just one of the many people that doesn't know what has happened to this UTTER ENTERTAINING GENIUS!!! He was there on TV quite regularly then just suddenly disappeared. Where did he go & what has happened to him since. ? I am very to quite sure someone knows what has happened to him over the past X amount of years. I don't that's why I ask. I didn't keep up to date & regular tracking of him. As in thought it wasn't important vat the time. As many of us would have been in the same position. So, let's see who has the information from the last time he was shown his AWESOME TALENT on TV till now. ( If he is still alive that is). 😳🙄🤔

He must have been using sound effects at 3:30 ish? If not then kudos to him. I used to love the Phil Cool show. Something just reminded me of him earlier and I just looked him up. I did wonder why he seemed to disappear from TV so quick yrs ago.

I always thought that Lee Evans was more influenced by Norman Wisdom, but I can see what you're saying.

Come back Phil, British tv needs you, there are very few comedy shows on tv today. Just hours of mindless reality rubbish.

@stefftweffty. I had exactly the same conversation with my old man yesterday.

I'm of the notion that he blackballed himself by the targets of his humour

Where.is Phil now hope he is will❤️

Underrated genius Unique unsung could have been britains Jim Carrey

That was really good and weird..

How is it possible for him to change his face to match the people he's impersonating? That's wild. Look how he changes to Bill Clinton.

Whatever happened to this guy,never see him now and one of the funniest impressionists and comedian ever to grace a stage,all we get now are wokie muppets as about as funny as the clap

What ever happened to Phil Cool??!!

At 2:34 RoboCop On Life Support 😃👍.

Idolise, worship him.

I think Lee Evans must have been influenced by Phil Cool's rubber faced act & funny stances & movements... Or is it a coincidence. Lee Evans has alot of his own which is original & is more a stand up comic that an impressionist so I am not taking away from Evans, who is brilliant, but I think Evans owes a lot to Phil Cool, & possibly Phil dissapeared from the scene when Lee Evans made his breakthrough, possibly because he was younger and similar ? Who knows what happened !

hey hey I'm phill cool >:(

What passes for comedy today is using a lot of foul language,. that's all we have today. I can't think of many now who will be held in high regard as Phil was, or even be remembered in years to come. They are simply just not funny.

This is like looking back at 'Cannon and Ball', or 'Little and Large'. Something which you used to think was funny, but now, years later looks utterly atrocious. I used to have 2 or 3 of this guys videos, it's a blessing i lost them.
