Alan Partridge

[jendifer]

So DP is fairly obsessed with Alan Partridge - knows all the jokes, quotes episodes etc. He has a mug with Steve Coogan on etc.

Over Christmas he encouraged me to watch some of the early ones and I hated it. When I asked DP what he enjoyed about it he said "it's because we're all a bit Partridge and it's so cringeworthy it's good.

So I wondered, does anyone on MN enjoy it, and if so, what is the attraction? I feel like I need to understand it more.

We've only watched the tv series from early 2000s but here is a to a youtube clip from the podcast if you haven't heard of him...

It's absolutely hilarious, one of my 'comfort' comedy shows that I can watch anytime.

We also quote it quite a lot at home too

This.

Absolutely love it. All of it.

Hence username.

Any other fans on here check out the Monkey Tennis podcast.

@PistolKnight moooooooo! Big posh sod with Kim's in your mouth😂😂

*plums lol!

Do you mind if I talk?

@Sstarlight it's good this, even though we're basically just quoting Partridge lines.

Anyone listened to From the Oasthouse? Are you being served?

It's supposed to make you cringe.

SMELL MY CHEESE

Jet from gladiators to host a millennium barn dance at Yeovil Aerodrome. Properly policed. It must not, repeat not, turn into an all night rave.

Genius writing!😂😂

And when he presents the award, harpoons his foot and is sick everywhere 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Thanks, OP, you’ve made me remember some TV classic gold.

Have you ever had beans in a cup?

He was good in Philomena as the journalist Martin Sixsmith -- great movie

@FlorisFigure ah Dante's fires...

Ah-haaaaa! What a year it's been for Dante. Fires. Maybe you're here tonight with a wife or an old flame. But what is the burning issue? Hit your targets or you'll be... fired. But today's also about fun. Have you all got your fun packs? I've got one here. Dropped it. It's all right. I've got a list. Here. It should contain a torch, a CurlyWurly, a book of stamps, a free digital watch with denim strap, a vodka miniature, a Bic-style razor and a copy of the Daily Express. Ooooooh, it's a good paper. Now, first award tonight is for best Christ. Not Christ. Er, sorry. Keep saying 'Christ'. Er, I know some of you may be religious and to those people I apologi- Sorry. I was supposed to hit that later. I'll just wait for it to finish. A, a glittering year ahead. You might want to read your Daily Express. Don't shine that torch in my face, mate. I've just lost a pint of blood. On now as we look at a fantastic year for - I'm going to be sick again. You know that feeling when there's nothing coming up. Urrgh. Jesus. Urrgh. August knocked the trend for downturn in fireplace sales. Oh God. Oh, I sound like the devil. Bits come out my shoe. That's not going back in again. You want some more glitter? Two grand, that cost. I was gonna give out some... some awards. But, er, that's not going to happen. Look at me. Go and eat some coffee. Erm, drink it. It's soup you can eat - that's not so liquid.

I love you, in a way.

DH has just handed me this lovely dinner... TOO... MANY...PARTRIDGE...QUOTES!!!😂😂

Big plate scam

I love it and think Steve Coogan is very clever.
If you don't get it you probably won't and that's fine. I don't get Mrs browns boys/ Miranda but I appreciate other people do.
Horses for courses etc.

Should have used the sausage as a breakwater 3/10

Yes, Steve Coogan is very talented.

Absolutely love it!! There's a hilarious clip may be on YouTube of Richard Madeley going full partridge that has me in stitches!!

Can anyone smell gas?

Calm down Lynn you've got minor women's whiplash!
