Why do bongs think Alan Partridge is funny?

netflix has a ton of this shit and i like british comedy, sell me on this

>>81329716
I can't. I like the actor and English comedy but Partridge is shit

>>81329567

alan partridge is funny though. kill yourself.

>>81329567

Who... whoo... who do you think you are?

of course the simple, mutated mind of the 'Yank' could never understand the subtle nuances and humour of Alan Partridge

quite sad really

>>81329907

>The problem with you Americans is you haven't got a sophisticated sense of humour...

>>81329907
OP and I'm strayan. I usually get your humour but this is trash. It has a laugh track ffs

>>81329567
He's a lot funnier than the show he's in. His audiobooks are 10/10, get them

Anyone enjoyed the movie?

>>81330017
what fucking series are you watching? I'm Alan Partridge and Mid Morning Matters are GOAT comedy

>>81330043
his Let's Talk About Alan had me in literal tears

>>81329567

Would it be terribly rude to stop listening to you and go talk to someone else?

>>81330067
I'm Alan Partridge isn't that good to be honest. The movie sequel is even worse. Mid Morning Matters are great though, so are the books and the radio shows.

It was I'm Alan Partridge I was watching with the shitty laugh track. I'll try Mid Morning

>>81330171
mid morning is way better

he also does some great one-offs

How do you feel about the pedestrianisation of Norwich city centre?

>>81330065
Yeah

Yanks find brit comedy boring

Except Monty Python's Flying Circus

>>81330395

Gringos, mate

I BET YOU CAN'T GUESS WHERE MY BROTHER LIVES!?

Alan is probably the greatest comedy character ever. Just ahead of Costanza.

>>81329567

Unless you were raised in the British class system, many of the jokes will be lost on you

BLOODY MENTALIST!

Chester? Near North Wales, off the M56

>>81330463

All the Will Ferrell Anchorman / Daily Show stuff is indirectly inspired by early 90s BBC comedy

I don't think you name a show Last Week Tonight unless something else was called The Day Today decades earlier

The first series of I'm Alan Partridge was fucking great but there's a massive drop off to the second.

I'LL GIVE YOU A CHINESE BURN!

Who's ready for Rob Brydon and Steve Coogan: Impression-off - Spain tonight?

>>81330890
That one scene was probably the only good bit in the whole series tbqh

Americans don't understand the comedy in a character who lacks self-awareness, any kind of genuine intellect and has a completely unwarranted and inflation impression of his own worth.

It's what they are.

did anyone else notice that in the last episode of Mid Morning Matters when the episode finishes and does the stream crash fade out, Alan has the stigmata of Christ?

>>81331014
This.

The small mind of the American literally cannot encompass the realities and subtleties of this comedy.

Possibly *the* best comedy ever made.

Alan Partridge is top 5 all time English comedy character

fuck off yank

Englishman here, I think I could like it if it weren't for the laugh track but I just can't deal with that in this day and age

>>81331234
I'm Australian you pasty fat English cunt

Good English humour

>Mighty Boosh
>Anything combining Coogan and Bryden

Is it in every AP show? It's fucking shocking

>>81331418
>Shart in mart detected

it's white van man humour, which younger people then ironically pretended to like, which then permeated to the more easily influenced who are on the fence about ironically and unironically enjoying it.

it's like a 'oh look i enjoy this thing and my dad does too so i'm not as hip or cool as these other people but that makes me quirky and not a follower'

it's got its moments but it's a lot of shit

>>81331418

If you haven't seen Scissored Isle, you shouldn't even be on /tv/...the amount of tv it parodies is insane, it's not just kino, it's manditory /tv/ kino.

Holy fuck I live 20 minutes from Chester, near tarporley

>>81329567
Because it's a parody of the type of awful light entertainment presenters that only Britain really has. Without that prior knowledge it doesn't make a lot of sense. Same with Smashie and Nicey.

The two series of I'm Alan Partridge are fucking brilliant you underage cunts. The film and that mid morning matters thing he did were shit though.

>>81331455

Yeah, it comes from a time when comedy actually had punchlines instead of bad improv

>>81333189
Shaun Micallef is the only funny person to come out of Australia, the rest are for the birds.

>>81329567
nothing. the tea jew knows nothing about comedy

>>81333359

Get fucked cunt, I guarantee you live in Melbourne and don't have a license.

>>81333359
We have a few good programs but not really personalitys that are funny

>>81329567
You must not enjoy laughing. Ya' twat.

>>81330065
I did

The best Alan Partridge/Steve Coogan thing is his parts in The Day Today

>>81330065
me 3

>>81329567
To be fair I don't know, I watched AP Alpha papa and the only amusing thing during all the movie was watch Steven Coogan arse.

The movie in general was pretty poor, he's a radio host and gets taken hostage with the people in the building and that it is.

You've got ten minutes. Go give it to her.

>'Sunday Bloody Sunday'. What a great song. It really encapsulates the frustration of a Sunday, doesn't it? You wake up in the morning, you've got to read all the Sunday papers, the kids are running round, you've got to mow the lawn, wash the car, and you think "Sunday, bloody Sunday!".

>>81329567
Bong here, he isn't funny. Neither is Ricky Gervais. Our version of the Office was a total disaster.
