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?

Sorry you apparently have no sense of humour, that must be tough. Thanks

Why does it mean someone has no sense of humour if they don't like one particular comedian?

The one where Steve Coogan was acting both as Alan Partridge and as a culchie Irish lookalike who didn't know who Alan was ("Who the hell is dat?"), and ended up singing "Come out ye black and tans" on the BBC... one of the funniest things ever! 😄

The lining perished.

Sorry, another one you thinks YABVVVU

It is my go to comedy series that no matter how many times I watch it, I still laugh (that and the American Office)

We went on holiday to Ireland a few years ago and I lost count of the amount of times DH said “There’s more to Ireland dan dis!”

SnowfallSnowball · 15/01/2022 18:38

‘Titsnade Zoo!’
‘Doctor Nowt’
‘Back of the net’

Loved the series and still watch it but wasn’t keen on the film.

SexPeopleLynn · 15/01/2022 18:39

Oh and his book written by Alan Partridge is also a hilarious read

'I, Alan Partridge'

ShreddedMarmalade · 15/01/2022 18:40

The series is hilarious. Love his audiobook too.

' Kerrryyy '

This country was funny.
Big Mandy, best character ever
' what's in the bag ?'
' two bricks and a pillow case'

Let battle commence!

The two I'm Alan Partridge series may be the funniest TV ever.

GoIntoTheLight · 15/01/2022 18:48

I got this for DH one Valentines Day. AP is basically why we got together. We’re sa-a-ad but we don’t care.

I came on the thread to say that.

I’m having a pop at the undead!

I love AP!

BadgeronaMoped · 15/01/2022 18:56

Love it, I watched the film last night Grin

"I'm really sorry, I done a shit in the box"

BadgeronaMoped · 15/01/2022 18:59

I love the episode with Jill where he takes her to "a cracking owl sanctuary".

UthredofBattenberg · 15/01/2022 19:02

YABU.

People forget that traders need access to Diiiixxxoons!

And also Monty Python is hilarious, the films more so than the sketches, but they have their moments, the lumberjack of course Grin

Goodbyemylover · 15/01/2022 19:04

How old are you OP and what do you find funny? Sorry if I missed an update! Just need a bit of perspective although we all have our differing tastes. My In Laws said they found Mrs Browns Boys funny but they must have been on crack as they're the least likely candidates for the audience...

YouLando · 15/01/2022 19:06

'Ruddy hell - it's Soft Cell'

'And now a track from one of the biggest stadium rock bands in the world, R E
O Speedwagon'

FerretFumbler · 15/01/2022 19:06

Massively unreasonable. AP is awesome!!
