    One of the few comedians who can just stand, say nothing and still make you laugh. He certainly among the greatest and had a style like no other. He left us with plenty of lovely memories. Thanks for the entertainment Mr Howerd ❤ 😊

    Always made me laugh. Thats why Im here watching videos to remember. When you need a good laugh, the classic comedians are the best.

    He was so brilliant in Up Pompeii - the constant changing between script and ad-libbed asides straight into the camera and all without an audience but still perfectly timed - a masterpiece.

    How can you not love this guy . To get the audience In on the act takes poise and timing . I love the funny way he gave us his lines. And the fact probably someone like him could get away with it. He was amazing. And so missed. RIP Frankie Howerd . How I miss the laughs

    • @Isleofskye
      @Isleofskye Před 5 lety +1

      Very True.Not just the more obvious ones like Frankie/Brucie/Cilla but June Whitfield,David Hatch and I was about to write "half of that great writing duo:Alan Simpson" when I just discovered his writing partner:Ray Galton is,also,no longer with us.Then Dora and Joan Sims and Eric Sykes, the list,sadly, goes on and on...

      @buzzclick500 I sometimes watch a favourite film and realise that everyone in it are dead. We are certainly the generations where the dead are as entertaining, or more so than the living. In a way humans have discovered immortality.

    One of the few performers who can stand there and say nothing and still make me laugh. So sad to hear he wasn't comfortable with his sexuality. He certainly left a lot of laughs behind for us to enjoy.

    He could make anything work. Power of his neurotic personality. Loved the way he turned on the audience as if they themselves were inventing the smut. Once tried to see the plaque in York (where he was born) and there was a flood and you couldn't get there without getting your trousers wet!

    Cannot help it, but, what a wonderful, ridiculous, incorrect, challenging, self destructive, outrageous, intensely humorous bunch of British comedy stars gave us the memories and laughs and actual education in life, of a lifetime. Frankie here, the unimaginable Tommy Cooper, the Ronnies, Harry Corbett, Silly Sykes, unique Hancock, Sid, so many, so good, so giving, so amusing, the T V series with Dad's Army, Ain't half Hot, Are you being Served, Steptoes, Carry ons, too many to give some adequate justice. I'm Grateful, yes...

    A troubled comedy genius like so many, great funny people in front of the camera , but away from it , sad in his private life, so many insecurities and lacked self esteem and confidence, but once his comedy mask was on , he felt rejuvinated ,as it was his shield from reality and the many problems it entailed.
