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?

I am amazed that a thread about comedy has brought out the salty side of posters.

I can't watch AP
Love MP
Hate MRs Brown's boys and Maranda.
Loved some of TTBT
Liked most of B99
Liked MTW
hate the Mash report
Loved the fast show
Loved Armstrong and Miller

and the list goes on.

I love both. Absolutely hilarious!

TheNestedIf · 15/01/2022 19:46

Never mind this, OP. What do you think about the pedestrianisation of Norwich City Centre?

NickiMinajerie · 15/01/2022 19:58

Alan and the sex people is hysterical

[quote Lipsandlashes]@daisiesonmydress ooh I absolutely love Curb - never met another UK person (other than DH) who watches it though. You’ve definitely redeemed yourself Grin but AP and Larry David are rather similar characters though?[/quote]
Love curb too!

We got a "vintage" sailmaker's table as an interesting and original garden table last year. I was sitting there one day when I realised it is an old door! Now we can't sit there without thinking we have to place a bowl of fruit when one of us picks up our cup of tea

Steve Coogan is on radio BBC 4 Extra now 7pm-10pm, talking about life's work. Talking about AP now.

DotBall · 15/01/2022 20:47

I can’t stand AP as I can’t stand the cocaine-fuelled prostitute user that is SC.

Slimy, scummy man.

EnjoyingTheArmoire · 15/01/2022 20:48

I love the two Partridge series, and have a bunch of Patridge related usernames on hers.

Also a big fan of Monty Python. Introduced my teen to it during lockdown, and whilst some of the sketches are dated, there is some absolute gold too. Love the films.

..... And then it landed on both wheels, started first time and they just drove away

Jet from Gladiators to host Millennium barn dance at Yeovil aerodrome.Properly policed.Must not,repeat must not turn into an all night rave.

EnjoyingTheArmoire · 15/01/2022 20:49

That said - Haven't dared watch any of the newest stuff, just in case it's shit and ruins Partridge for me.

pengu · 15/01/2022 20:50

@Hawkmoth

Well you've not met me then...
Or me
drpet49 · 15/01/2022 20:51

I agree OP, it is shit

To be fair, I don't like him either but I bloody love Alan Partridge. If I banned watching anything with actors in that take cocaine and use prostitutes there'd probably be nothing left to watch.

JaneJeffer · 15/01/2022 20:54

I don't like him either.

owlsanctuarydate · 15/01/2022 20:55

Stop going on about Benjamin Netanyahu, OP. You're never going to meet him.

owlsanctuarydate · 15/01/2022 20:57

Can you smell gas?

CherryPieface · 15/01/2022 20:58

The Adam Buxton podcast with SC is really good. He didn’t think he’d like him but ended up changing his mind.

Foot like a traction engine!
