To think Alan Partridge just isn't funny. At all!!!

[daisiesonmydress]

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?

"He is not Bono, he is rubbish."

I love This Country, but i have never laughed at anything AP has been in, not even a slight chuckle, hes just not funny imo, same ilk as bloody Miranda..

@daisiesonmydress

OMG. Is this going to be one of those unanimous moments when the whole of MN thinks IAU

Nope! I find him really irritating

Another YABU here OP, sorry. Love AP and have loved MP since I was a teenager.

Lynne are those your mothers cateract glasses?

I’m a woman and loved AP series. Not watched the film though.

My brother’s best man did a fabulous speech full of Partridge quotes. It went over the head of most of the guests but there were a handful of us in stitches.
‘Some of these people have come from Stoke!’

I really do not understand American humour , I'm not sure why or if it's just preference but I find it forced. People rave about ' will and Grace ' and Fraiser , 'friends ' etc but I can't get on with it !

Frasier is genius. It's gets better every time I watch it. My absolute favourite is Seinfeld though.

Massively unreasonable IMO, sorry

Dan! Dan! Dan! Dan! Dan! Dan! Dan!

My mate went to a fancy dresses party dressed as a zombie, complete with biscuits, tungsten tipped screws and biscuits. Half the people had no idea what he was. The other thought it was genius.

Sorry OP, another female AP fan here. I adore monty python too . Like a PP I can’t stand Mrs Brown’s Boys. Find Miranda v annoying too. World would be a dull place if we all liked the same stuff (you really should watch life of Brian though - It’s v v funny)

I guess that AP inspired David Brent , even the ' life on the road ' film with Gervais nicked a lot from AP.

I can't watch Seinfeld due to the laughter track

I'm going out this evening but this thread is making me want to stay in with my big plate and binge watch AP.

I love the Norfolk scenery in Alpha Papa.

Big plate! 😂

I’ve always wanted to do that!

The date to an owl sanctuary.

A cracking owl sanctuary. We all love AP in this house, me and DH both early 60s and DD who is 18. DH and I both loved MP at the time it came out but we were teenagers then. Barely watched it since although we do quote it still.

DAN! DAN! DAN! It's absolutely hilarious YABU

You could have a Ladyboy chaser.

You're missing out. It's the foundation of so many comedy shows. Every episode is a lesson in writing comedy.

Curb your enthusiasm comes close to the AP cringe factor.

Yabvvvu. Michael jumping off Cromer pier is up there as one of the great moments in comedy history.

Monkey tennis!

This thread should be properly policed. It should not - I repeat, not - turn into an all night rave
