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?

Yes! It's an extender!

I say this every time I extend our extendable dining room table. I can't help myself.

I'm with you OP, I just don't get it, or find it funny 🤷‍♀️

“I’ve gotta say, Pat, kids don’t make you happy. Some of the unhappiest times of my life have been with my kids. I remember... a holiday on the beach in Prestatyn. The kids came over to me and said, “Papa, Papa! Follow me,” and... you know... I followed them about 200 yards across the sand dunes. When I got there, finally, all they’d done was dug a big hole. Miserable.”

Off to go binge watch Partridge and reminisce about Norwich. Again.

@DotBall

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

Slimy, scummy man.

Couldn't agree more. SC is one of the most arrogant and least funny people going

Longdistance · 15/01/2022 22:08

Yanbu. I’d rather stick pins in my eyes than watch Alan Partridge.

"What the heck? Rock'n roll. Let's have a pear"

ChocolateCakeYum · 15/01/2022 22:10

I find him hit and miss.

Love the crazy fan, living in the hotel and monkey tennis but otherwise? Ehh. I can either laugh historically or shrug.

ChocolateCakeYum · 15/01/2022 22:11

Hysterically not historically.

I have laughed in the past but it’s not the only time.

MrsKeats · 15/01/2022 22:11

Love Partridge.

Benjispruce5 · 15/01/2022 22:17

@foxlover47 are you a good middler though? Wink

BonnesVacances · 15/01/2022 22:17

It makes me feel uncomfortable to watch as he's so tragic, but I do have a crush on Steve Coogan. Blush

Benjispruce5 · 15/01/2022 22:18

@BonnesVacances that’s the point. You hate him and pity him at the same time.

HotMess79 · 15/01/2022 22:20

Get in the bin, OP...

Babyvenusplant · 15/01/2022 22:23

I don't get it either op

AnneLovesGilbert · 15/01/2022 22:24

Alan got me through about 14 hours of labour. It’s the funniest thing ever. We watch the film a couple of times a year, love Cromer, love Alan, laugh a bit more every time.

And the books are brilliant!

MP isn’t on my level at all. Neither is black adder. Don’t get those at all.

JustGotToKeepOnKeepingOn · 15/01/2022 22:30

I don't find him funny either OP!

Spudbitch · 15/01/2022 22:30

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
