DH watching the film and guffawing. I tried 10 minutes and couldn't take any more.

Never met a woman who finds it funny.

Or Monty Python.

AIBU?

@Honey83

I never watched the chat show series, but the one after where he lived in the Travelodge was hilarious 😂
Late OH used to go on about him living in a caravan on the A47, he had little sense of humour but thought that was hilarious, don't know why. I watched a bit of Miranda recently, now that was very unfunny. I suppose we all have different ideas of funny otherwise life would be so boring, personally I can't see anything funny about that Fools and Horses, so I am considered to be an idiot by many!

I like Monty Python but can't stand Alan Partridge, or Rob Brydon, or Ricky Gervais.

Steve Coogan is a genius

We all know that Geordie Michael from the travel tavern is the voice of the Russian meerkat, right?

Karenity · 15/01/2022 23:33

Is he?

How disappointing.

I reckon he's a right cock IRL

Yep.

Paul and Pauline calf are fucking hilarious.

Lord Patrick of Swayze is how he is forever known in our house.

@Spudbitch

You are correct I do get it but I don't think its funny at all it appeals to some like a lot of other crap like Mrs browns boys and various other unfunny shite
Erm. Excuse me!!!!!! No Alan Partridge fan would even entertain the absolute shite that is Mrs Bowns Boys.

How dare you!!!!!

foxlover47 · 15/01/2022 23:49

@DorothyZbornakIsAQueen couldn't agree more

It’s a seeded batch you’ll never break it down.

@secreteatingteen

I find it hilarious. There are some posters on here with Partridge inspired user names so I'm guessing they do too.

"They're sex people Lynn!" Grin

Excellent quote choice ☺️

I bloody love AP and think he is a genius creation. I watched the film having no real expectations of it but it was excellent I was less keen on This Time.

I used to find it hilarious but think it has aged a bit. He is a great comedian though.

: If you see a lovely field with a family having a picnic, and there's a nice pond in it, you fill in the pond with concrete, you plough the family into the field, you blow up the tree, and use the leaves to make a dress for your wife who's also your brother.

Moooooooo

Quacking plums

SC is genius.

Also love Saxondale.

This Country also genius.

I’m pretty sure that I’m Alan Partridge must have millions of female fans. It’s never struck me as a comedy for men. And it has a number of really good female characters. I’d group it with the likes of The IT Crowd, Father Ted and Black Books - silly but very funny.

Which Alan Partridge content have you watched out of interest? I’m a huge fan of the sitcom, but not a Partridge super fan - the film is decent enough, but I’ve never bothered to watch the likes of This Time and Knowing Me Knowing You more than once.

I think it's completely different from those.

It may be chocolate to you, Jill,but to an unwitting member of staff this could look like some sort of dirty protest...
