Yep, his unique. 👍

Not many people know that he does still talk like that.

''Freddy, as a younger man, I was a sculptor, a painter, and a musician. There was just one problem: I wasn't very good. As a matter of fact, I was dreadful. I finally came to the frustrating conclusion that I had taste and style, but not talent. I knew my limitations. We all have our limitations, Freddy. Fortunately, I discovered that taste and style were commodities that people desired. Freddy, what I am saying is: know your limitations. You are a moron.'' - Lawrence Jamieson 😁

Rob Brydon really has the older Michael Caine down, but this impression by Sellers is so spot on and natural it's crazy.

@@fredklein3829 and not many people know that 😂

So brilliant that he had to explain to people who he was imitating @00:43. After explanation, audience then laughs @00:45, but not before the explanation. It would have been very interesting to see what would have happened if Sellers had not "explained" to people who he was imitating. I get the feeling that people laughed only because Sellers gave them the prompt, as in "come on audience, this is where you are supposed to laugh".

There are MANY people who do an excellent Michael Caine VOCAL impersonation, it's easy. Sellers was an ass. If you have been conned into thinking he was clever them I feel you are VERY mistaken. You are probably American.

Timing and delivery to die for!

​@interestedobserver2582 that's a long winded way to tell us you're not a fan.

@@Gerard_2024 yeah but that's famous nown but you couldn't hear stuff like that back in the 60s

Right but what's heavier? A kilogram of steel? Or a kilogram of feathers?

I always thought it sounded funnier with the accent when it was; “ Not a lot of people know that”

Paul Whitehouse as 'Nosy neighbour' Michael Paine was hilarious! Also with that perticular quote off course. :-)

I never knew that! Till I saw this.

@@revjimbob - Me niether. Mind blown. I've heard 100 people say it from famous comics to some bloke in the pub when doing a Michael Caine impression and I always assumed it was from Caine. Crazy.

At least one octave to low for me

@@girard1633😂

So many men of that generation did, so sad.

"Mr. Sellers, you do me better than I do me! Not many people know that!"

Amen

He was a shitty human being who disinherited his children. Fuck 'im.

Lmao true, which is odd because normally I can't understand a word Caine says.

The Wrong Arm of the Law! Brilliant film 👍

Apparently Michael Caine never actually said that, which makes it even funnier

Well, I will give you that he made me smile many times and an occasional chuckle, but the funniest ever? Pink Panther Strikes Again was on.

Talent in the 21st century is not quite so scarce that a guy who was dead twenty years before the century started is one of it's greats.

@@1965zimmy I recall a long ago wiki page (now properly edited) for the film _The Piano Tuner of Earthquakes_ incorrectly indicating that the portrayed action took place in the 18th century. I contacted the contributor for that obvious error and got "treated" to the firm declaration that events of the 1800's meant that they occurred in the 18th century.

Totally over-rated. Good at accents yes, but very little wit to accompany it. Superficial in the extreme and lucky to have lived at a time when audiences were less educated and therefore lacked sophisticated discernment.

@@1965zimmy He was also one of the great talents of the 14th century. Not many people know that.

@@hlcepeda Probably corrected by someone who majored in "Feel Good Studies" wearing their participation medals wondering what the term dial the phone number means.

The youth is too busy watching youtube and tweeting to worry about learning how to act. And the movie industry is dead because you can't make movies the way they made them in the 50s on up till about 2005.

The pause before delivery was sublime.

Subtlety is important. That's why I beat people over the head with subtlety all the time.

@@protorhinocerator142 🥇

Michael Caine can't walk anymore but he is still alive, so we sort of got that.

Peter Sellers was an abusive, egomaniacal bastard

He was also one of the Goons, as was Peter Sellers.

Not in real life mate. He was a very difficult and troubled man. But a genius comedic actor for sure 😊

Very true indeed, right timing. Many of the golden era of Hollywood appeared on the show plus the very best of the British

Now we have Bradley Walsh,Paddy McGuinness and Jo Brand:)

@@Isleofskye Oh come on - they may on their own be good stand up comedians but to compare to Peter Sellers...not a serious comparison.

@@jeffreyweitzman6463 Now I will resist the temptation to say that you do not seem to be a Wise Man,Mr. Weitzman but , please, peruse my comment again,my friend a,particularly,the ending. I was laughing at the prospect of any comparison,on the lines of "NOW,we have etc"....:)

The seventies series was superlative, he seemed to interview most of the Hollywood greats when they were in London and all the big stars of the day. I never had the impression that the interviewees were desperate to plug their wares, although I'm sure that was the ostensible reason for being on. I can't really say the same about the second series however, in the late nineties and noughties. The "stars" seemed diminished and it became a rather banal "plugfest".

Dead now.

They weren’t. It was the 1st time someone did it! He invented it, it was basically just a cockney impression which Sellers excelled at. That’s why they laughed when he said it was a Caine impression.

​@@johnmc3862Now there's not many people that know that.

Changed his name officially to Michael Caine a few years ago. He was constantly getting held back for an hour by airport security because he had Maurice Micklewhite on his passport.

He was ever so good in Oliver! And now this has got me thinking of another one from that time, who I haven't thought of in ages. I can't remember his name, actor. I remember him being on Parkinson and Parkie said something about acting being "not a real job" and the actor, while not disagreeing, said "What is a real job though? What you do?" and BURST out laughing! It was a brilliant turn around. Ugh, I'm going to have google his name. (wow, that took a long time. Had to ask AI and ran through so many possible actors before we got to the right one!) Roy Kinnear

1968 by Andy Bradbury is the first I remember.

What I would have given to see Peter exchange Caine expressions with Caine!

"I like to watch." 😂

Must try and find and watch Being There again. I just remember it was one of those movies that really hit me ....for some reason 🤔

Dr. Strangelove. Plays three completely different characters. A classic by Kubrick.

& now..RIP Sir Michael 🌹 From 🇦🇺 ❤️

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

The Italian Job

Thanks, Les.

I asked this in a hotel but they didn't get it and I had to explain.

I thought the same thing Heard the voice, and saw the face under the beard

By the way I've seen a vid clip of David Foley doing the same when going into the Dave Nelson character Some people are crazy

Really good impressionists can do this well. A shit Jack Nicholson imitator will always do the same kind of thing etc etc, but the secret is in the subtlety; they're not just doing the voice they sort of "become" the character for a bit, it's a full physical thing. Andy Kaufman could turn into Elvis. Peter Serafinowicz's Micheal Caine acting masterclass he does the same thing, he's got all the mannerisms and movements. Kevin Spacey does a perfect De Niro.

You seem to be overlooking Michael Bentine.
