AH HA!!!

Steve Coogan really isn't funny. His comedy is so egotistical.

1.Er, Wonder who got the power pack?

2.Er, SHIT! did you see that? He must have a foot like a traction engine!

3.Boof! Eat my goal!

4.Oh, thats fair enough. Yeah. So you dont think i can tell anecdotes? Do you want to just pop that down for a a second?

right, I'll tell you an anecdote. In 1975 i was carching the london train from Crewe Station. It was very crowded. I found myself in the last minute rush for the one remaning seat with a tall good-looking man with collar length hair. It was the seventies- Buckeroo. When i sat down i looked up and realised it was none other than PETER PURVIS. He was at the height of his Blue Peter fame. He said, 'You jammy bastard,' and quick as a flash i replied, 'Don't be Blue, Peter.' needless to say I had the last laugh now FUCK OFF!

5. Lynn you're in a remarkably cheerful mood considering its the first anniversary of your mothers death.

Those are my favourite ALan moments

Oh come on, NWV, the bit where he punched someone with a turkey was hilarious.

Do you slow down for car crashes?

Oh come on, NWV, the bit where he punched someone with a turkey was hialrious.

I'm just saying that I'm Alan Partridge was a bit egotistical, he always had the best lines and always humliated people e.t.c

I just find other shows like Fawlty Towers and Only Fools and Horses a lot more funny.

You have big sheds, but nobody's allowed in. And in these sheds you have 20 ft high chickens, and these chickens are scared because the don't know why they're so big, and they're going 'Oh why am I so massive?' and they're looking down at all the little chickens and they think they're in an aeroplane because all the other chickens are so small.- Do you deny that? No, I think his silence speaks volumes.

Chris Morris?
Do you find him funny? the guy is a genius.
Anyway Alan Partridge is predominately a Pater Baynham creation/character/wotsit thingy.

What?! Seriously how can you watch that series and think that Alan comes out on top? he's living like a tramp in a bloody layby (travel tavern). His wife has left him, his kids don't want him. He has no friends apart from the hotel staff. He's a tragic figure

Only Fools and Horses is bildge nothing more.

Fawlty Towers is much more Basil centric. There's plenty of good lines for Michael, Lynn, Dan, Sonja and others. In Fawlty Towers there's Basil and hwo Basil reacts with others.

Yes, that is the entire point of the character: he is a satire on egotistical people. Whether Steve Coogan is egotistical or not is a separate matter.


"...urr... A Partridge Amongst The Pigeons?"

This is Radio Norwich, and that was Big Yellow Taxi by Joni Mitchell, a song in which Joni complains that they 'paved paradise to put up a parking lot', a measure which actually would have alleviated traffic congestion on the outskirts of paradise, something which Joni singularly fails to point out, because it doesn't quite fit with her blinkered view of the world. It's 4.37 a.m. and you're listening to 'Up with The Partridge'..............

Alan Attack. Like the Cook Report but with a more slapstick edge

...Arm Wrestling With Chas And Dave?

Shame they were quite keen on that.

Youth Hostelling with Chris Eubank?

i think we should expand to cover the whole of 'The Day Today' too,
after all its where alans from and its mentally funny.

...Get her face off my screen.

The radio series was superior to the tv version. The bit where he slapped the child prodigy was great.

AP- No, im 37 and ive got plenty. all right!

if you say another word I will physically hit you.

What is, a gay?

Basic rule: nothing really survives the transition from Radio 4 to BBC TV unless it takes a good long hard look at itself and undergoes a complete reassessment.

Oh come on, NWV, the bit where he punched someone with a turkey was hilarious.

I'd just like to point out that I'm probably the only person that has managed to use the word 'turkey' in a response to NWV, without triggering an anti-Turkish rant when he reads it.

What is, a gay?
"Let me be blunt, you are a homosexual"

"Bisexual actually"

"Don't pussyfoot. There are men involved. That's the important bit".

Im not threathen by you lot. NO WAY! Any of you lot had a go, id deck the lot of you.

I should try not to come off as a raving fanboy and just post one Alan comment but since I can't help myself...
"I'll have a.... pint of bitter!"
"I have 104 friends."
Alan: "What did you have for breakfast this morning Camp David?'
Alan (as Camp David): 'Ooooooh mince."
Alan: "Are you wearing Lynx? Dan: 'Well smelt! Voodoo!' Alan: 'Java!"

I dont sweat because i use Lynx Africa.
