Default Alan Partridge Appreciation
Just watched the entire "I'm Alan Partridge" series. How fantastic is that show? I was almost literally rolling on the floor laughing.

Do you think the new series will be as good? I hope so, but I've just got this nagging feeling....he can't keep something this good going fo so long.

Thoughts?

Mmm....perhaps you might not have it in the US. It's a British thing done by this guy called Steve Coogan. He plays Alan Partridge, a bitter failed chat-show host turned local radio presenter. The first series was "Knowing Me Knowing You" which was like a spoof chat show, but the second (and, as of yet, last) series was like a documentary of his life.

Basically, it's absolutely hilarious. Partridge is such a completely sad, arrogant, pathetic little man that he's just funny constantly.

Sample quotes:

"Ladyboys....fascinating creatures. Looks like a woman, but really it's a man. I don't find them attractive, it's just confusing."

(talking about U2's 'Sunday Bloody Sunday') - "It really encapsulates the frustration of a Sunday, doesn't it. You've got to read the paper, wash the cars, take the kids out, and you think 'Sunday, bloody Sunday."

You've got to see it, really. I think it's one of the best comedy shows of all time.

But let's not forget there would be no Alan Partridge were it not for Chris Morris' On The Hour and The Day Today.

I hereby claim this thread for Chris Morris; the twisted brainwrong of a one-off man-mental.

Confusion.
