I'm sure others will say it, but watching this section out of context means a lot of the meaning will be lost - if you get to watch the whole episode it comes from you'll see why he's being so rude to the hotel staff and why he's paranoid about his breath. It's not just wacky randomness it all makes sense (to Alan!) based on what's happening in the storyline.
Came to say this 👌
@@Josh-wu7kz the reason it needs context is that it's not a sktech show, and the character has a history which you get to understand through the plot of each episode. you can't appreciate his interactions with all of the other characters unless you know that he behaves like this every minute of every day.
What he said👍🏻
This.
No offence but I’m not sure an American will fully understand or appreciate the nuance humour of Alan Partridge. It’s purely because the character of Alan Partridge is culturally specific not only to England but regionally and professionally of a certain generation in a particular profession that again is culturally specific to England. That’s nothing disrespectful to Americans. I doubt most English kids of today would get it either. That’s not to say all the humour in the show would go over Americans heads, I’m talking about the nuance of the character and many of the things he comes out with. Not only was I a child of the early 80s but I also saw both "the day today" and "knowing me knowing you" prior to watching "I'm Alan Partridge" so I was already familiar with his character that had been developing since the "The day today". I remember when me and a friend first watched I'm Alan Partridge and got it totally. Just little things like "they've gone to longstanton spice museum. I said “Congratulations, you’ve got a second series. We can’t celebrate with the Spice Girls, so why not get your arses down to the Spice Museum in Long Stanton?”. I mean you know, it’s not just spices. It’s all about the spice trade." Its a lie of course but even within the lie he can't help but reveal a detail about his personality that he has actually enjoyed learning about things at longstanton spice museum other than just spices. I can't explain why I find that so funny. Another favourite is when he imagines inviting Chris rea over for dinner and asks him if he likes "mini kievs." Just little details like that are perfect and it would be difficult to explain to an American why.
The two Irish men are Arthur Matthews and Graham Linehan who wrote Father Ted.
King boomer should do more father ted reactions
And the IT crowd and Black books.
@@macker33 They were just Linehan, Matthews didn't work on either of those.
@@ManlyStump I assumed he was responding to Thomas but it's hard to tell.
That's not Arthur Matthew btw. Don't know his name, sorry.
I'm Irish - and we find it hilarious! I think we can laugh at ourselves more than any other nation. Remember that Steve Coogan is of direct Irish descent as well. These jokes were more resonant at the time. You really have to watch whole episodes of Alan Partridge to understand what is going on with the character.
Nice to see an Irishman seeing the funny side , think too many of us are a little precious about our roots especially online. I’m a black Scotsman soo as you can imagine I’ve had plenty of “banter” over the years, In this Alan Partridge clip we are laughing at his stupidity not at the Irish . And yeah Steve Coogan is of Irish heritage
I've seen this series a hundred times but I was just thinking (due to this guy's slightly offended sensibilities) that they did go a bit hard on the Irish here. I then thought "I bet Coogan is Irish, or one of the main writers", checked Wikipedia and whaddayaknow. People do tend to be more comfortable making fun of their own whatever (race especially). Rather like Ali G with his jokes about how evil the Jews are.
I think in fairness being able to laugh at ourselves is something the Brits, perhaps particularly the English, and the Irish have a great deal of common ground over.
His Martin Brennan character is funny as.
Great to see Alan but I have to say, like Father Ted and The Inbetweeners, Partridge needs the context of full episodes, preferably in order, to get the full benefit
I suppose so. A lot of reactors are ruining shows for themselves if they are ever to view full episodes later on, as they've already heard the punchlines in longer 'best of' compilations. I doubt there are many 'first time reaction' videos anyway, as it's too tempting to click and check out what you're about to watch. Especially for US reactors, who might fear alienating their own fanbase with jokes from old shows young viewers it might regard as offensive (to someone they don't know, somewhere out there).
Another mistake is having subtitles on which also ruin jokes before they are said, but in the end if it's a short random clip of an older show from abroad, the level of understanding is potentially low anyway. Some reactors laugh at jokes, but due to the cultural differences it's obvious they have no idea what the joke actually meant (eg when old tv stars are referenced). I suppose that's one way to seperate who is genuine and not, but online there are even courses on how to become a good reactor, and how to create authentic looking responses to content ,lol
Tru Say,Mi Bredrin..
Yes, they need to be in order
Americans thinking they are Irish rubs both the English and Irish the wrong way.
Alan Partridge has a long history going back to the early 90's, the character was on radio, then in sketches as part of other shows on tv before starting a run of many different series of his own off and on up to current day, even a movie and a podcast, there's so much to enjoy, at his best he's truly hilarious, it's one of the deepest rabbit holes in UK comedy history.
Ah Haaa
About the dancing thing: Alan Partridge is about the slow breakdown of a once popular celebrity who is no longer relevant but hasn’t quite accepted that yet - the dancing insert is an intrusive thought that he has regularly, I think it started in an episode where his sexuality was brought into question and it happened in this episode while they were trying to explain the idea - he’s terrified that if they realise he didn’t listen to them, they’ll go elsewhere and he really needs the money, which is why he falls back on his “charisma” to try to get the job. He can’t discuss their idea, he didn’t hear it and is too proud to admit that he need them to explain it again (and he would probably go back to the same place even if they did!). The other layer of the joke is that these are the writers of Father Ted, a show set to absolutely take the British and Irish nations by storm and he would indeed have made a lot of money if he got to produce it!
AP loves Thai ladyboys, so he can't be straight.
Nice statistic..
Partridge is almost impossible to watch out of context
AP imagines dancing for men who might employ him to star in a TV show. At this point, he's a struggling local radio host who's trying to become a TV presenter again.
I’ve seen someone take the whole jug of juice to their table at a hotel buffet.
The funniest thing happened though. Because everyone started to come over to their table. While they were eating breakfast to pour themselves a drink.
They quickly returned it.
It's not a skit. It's from "I'm Alan Partridge" which is two seasons. There is also LOADS of Alan over the years
two *series
@@danielgardecki1046 get a life mate
@@chrischarlescook LOL touchy.
It cuts off the Sunday 'Bloody Sunday' line....which 'truly encapsulates the frustration of a Sunday!' 😂
Partridge not taking the piss out of the Irish, but out of a certain type of English. I think many Europeans find the American 'I have xxx and yyy blood' absolutely baffling. Europeans have moved around so much over the centuries that people just tend to classify themselves on where they're born and raised, and perhaps their immediate parents, if they are from somewhere else. The whole 'I'm Irish, my family came over in the 1820s' thing is just nuts.
To get the joke about Alan's breath you have to know he got a smelly reaction to eating a Scotch Egg earlier in the episode
*Fun fact* : The Irish actors here ,Arthur Mathews and Graham Lineham are both the creators and writers of *Father Ted*
He ain’t rubbing anyone the wrong way lmao its Alan partridge
The funniest series that's ever been on UK TV, in my opinion. Hilarious but you need to do full episodes.
Followed by father ted and the inbetweeners
Another vote here for watching full episodes being a must. Even this snippet takes on a new meaning when you know his character.
I know you aren't a fan of sitcoms but if you can get your hands on the full episodes of 'I'm Alan Partridge' I think you'd enjoy. Steve Coogan as a failed TV show host now on local radio doing the early morning show and living in a motel, is comedy genius
Alan has visions of being a "rent boy" as his last refuge!!!!😄😄😄😄😄
Full episodes brother. Much funnier and you'll get the jokes alot more. Great show!
Basically he's trying to get a new TV series on the BBC. So the dancing is a symbol for doing anything to be in the limelight or to be famous. It reoccurs throughout the series.
in earlier series Alan had a mental breakdown and he keeps having flashbacks.
As everyone says you do have to watch the full series to appreciate how brilliant AP was. Takes no prisoners does Partridge 😂😂
Smell my cheese 🧀
This isn't a sketch - it's part of I'm Alan Partridge: s1 e5, To Kill a Mocking Alan.
Why do Americans get all uncomfortable around Irish jokes? Never mind what the brits say about the Irish, try listening to what the Irish say to each other, about each other. Most americans, and especially those who like to boast about having Irish blood, rarely have the first idea about Ireland or its people. Doesnt even occur to them why their "ancestors" left ireland.
Fun fact, the dark haired irish guy in the 1st scene is Graham Lineham, creator of father Ted and the IT crowd!
And an absolute horrible w@nker, who I would guess will never work in/on T.V. again!
Good to see you edited your comment and deleted mine that you didn't know he'd wrote father Ted 🤣
Not a skit, it's a scene from I'm Alan Partridge which is a sitcom. You really need to watch full episodes to get context. The 2 Irish guys are actually the writers of Father Ted.
Which was tripe, 76....Father Ted, i mean.
Alan Partridge is hilarious. It's best to start with The Day Today, a BBC spoof current affairs show.
It's best to start with I'm Alan Partridge.
@@cockoffgewgle4993 Why?
@@davidz3879 Because it's much better than the earlier stuff and it takes ages to get through the earlier stuff.
Background is he's staying at that motel and trying to play it down by being rude to the staff. Full episodes will explain a lot. 🙂🙂
If I'm right one of the Irish men in the Alan Partridge clip is the writer of Father Ted, Black Books and the IT Crowd.
When people make Irish jokes no one is thinking of some yank with vaguely Irish heritage, it doesnt concern you. You cant use a countrys history to feel sorry for youself when you dont even know anyone that lives there
Great reaction Brian - you got to watch some full episodes for context and to get the depth of the character - its a classic show and character, think you'll enjoy it!
Steve Coogan has a big Irish connection.
He was the BBC journalist character Martin Sixsmith in the film "Philomena" about the Mother and Baby Institutions ongoing scandal in Ireland.
Knowing those "frock wearers" are INVOLVED, it will go on for ever, Ciaran. Assuming your objectivity, you will know that any way. ( they'll wait on 'em to die, or disappear, then find them guilty.)
To understand the Alan Partridge character, you need to try and watch all of the episodes from the start as you're doing (brilliantly) with the Inbetweeners. The later series he's living in a motel as his wife has left him and he's struggling for new work. His flashback sequences are to do with him lap/pole dancing for people who he wants to give him work. The series where he's living in a caravan while his house is being built is brilliant - look for episodes where he meets the bathroom salesman Dan or where he recreated the Bond films. Keep up the good work! Peter Kay's Phoenix night's is a must also, but again you have to watch it all from the start. Harry Enfields Kevin and Perry characters are worth the watch too - even spawned a film which is class if not just for the soundtrack.
Alan at his supreme worst here, he also carried around the hotel his 'Big Plate' to gain value from his breakfasts!
As others have said, the two Irishmen were played by Arthur Matthews and Graham Linehan, who wrote Father Ted - which would be a great show for you to react to. As for Alan Partridge, you're best off watching whole episodes. Black Books and Peep Show also highly recommended.
The Irish fella on the right wrote Father Ted. Extremely funny and clever man! Oh…….and more Father Ted please!
Remember watching this in 97 and literally keeled over with laughter, no one in Ireland was offended because both Coogan, Matthews and Linehan wrote this episode "Badly tarmaced drives in this country" I couldn't see how any so called Irish American would be offended as most of the references are Anglo Hibernian that wouldn't land in the US.
"Me and the queen were getting bizzie"?! 😆 that's lovely but do we really need to know that 😲
Graham Linehan the dark haired Irishman there wrote Father Ted, The IT Crowd and also created the show Black Books.
You need to watch full episodes to appreciate the humour of I’m Alan Partridge because this clip taken out of context doesn’t do it justice. It’s one of the funniest British sitcoms ever.
Full episodes and more knowledge of the character really help to appreciate Alan partridge. It's a remarkably deep character for a comedic one.
Not a skit but a part of an episode that was part of a series so lots going on you'll not get. Recommend his parody of TV chat shows as a place to start - they look like 'normal' chat shows but are a long way from normal. It's called 'Knowing Me, Knowing You with Alan Partridge'.
Alan Partridge is an acquired taste and I fucking love him. One of the funniest programs ever made.
The two Irish guys in this clip are Graham Linehan and Arthur Mathews, the writers of Father Ted and several other successful British comedy shows.
Cheers!
Steve Coogan's parents were from Ireland.
You have to watch the whole episode. It's not a skit.
To understand the thoughts Alan was having you really need to watch the full episode.
Not a skit. Just a scene in an episode. You really have to watch full episodes, from Season 1 on. A lot of the gags won't make any sense if you don't have the whole picture, from the beginning. Alan _evolves._
Steve Coogan's mum is irish born and his dad is of irish descent, which is why he's so on point with Alan's clueless xenophobia.
Similar to how Sacha Baron Cohen jokes about Jews as Borat.
Steve Coogan does an amazing impression of an irish character called Martin Brennan.
Check out: Alan Partridge meets Martin Brennan - "Come Out Ye Back and Tans"

my friend showed me this, i was hysterical lol, so funny! love alan partridge omg
The 2 "Irish Producers" are Graham Linehan & Arthur Matthews who together wrote Father Ted
The dark haired Irish guy is the writer of Father Ted, Black Books, The IT Crowd... Etc
There's an Alan Partridge film Alpha Papa. It's great
The 2 Irish guys are the writers of Father Ted
The fact that Partridge patronises Irishness in the clip illustrates what a fool he is (a constant comedy theme throughout all his episodes). And, personally, if a fool insults me, or my country, it doesn't bother me because its only a fool. This episode illustrates an English bigotry towards the Irish (which exists) and it is the Irish characters who come out of the whole thing looking cool. And, so they should. As has been said a few times below, those two lads are the geniuses that wrote FATHER TED. Ironically, Steve Coogan is poking fun at percentage of English people, rather than at Irish folk within the context of the episode.
MUST WATCH, Alan and chocolate mousse 🤭
The Irish and English are world class at taking the piss out of each other.
The Irish guy with the black hair in the sketch is Graham Linehan a comedy writer who co-wrote another great comedy series The IT Crowd.
and Father Ted
You were right- he is a bit of a dick 😂
He’s playing a failing tv personality that constantly says the wrong thing in any situation, he’s awkward, weird and some of the lines he comes out with are just brilliant!
The dancing is his crazy mind in a situation like this where he wants to get the series or a tv deal so imagines himself dancing for the person he needs to impress, this show is iconic and had a huge following from the 90’s when it started- if you watch it from the start it would make a lot more sense and you’d get used to who he is but not necessarily why he does or says what he does!
The episode where he has a stalker is brilliant 😂
Partridge was just being ignorant here rather than deliberately trying to offend…indeed he was desperate to impress these Irish TV execs as he saw it as a way to get back on to TV.
The ‘dancing’ bit was Alan’s wandering imagination which appeared from time to time throughout the series. It really is worth watching properly from start to finish.
Alan Partridge is great, if you have followed his character for about 20yrs, as he's consistent and many references run throughout so many stand up shows, different series etc.
My absolute favourite Steve Coogan characters are Paul and Pauline Calf :) he totally pulls off being both of these, and sadly I can relate to having known people like it 😀
3 Fights, 2 weddings and a Funeral. Very underrated.
The two fellas at the table with Alan are Graham Linehan and Arthur Matthews who wrote Father Ted
Cartridge is rude as hell, but doesn't realize it. THAT'S THE HUMOR!!!
its not a skit but a whole show with episodes. A sitcom, so some of the humour may not come through without the context of whats happening in the whole show/season. BTW he does get worse in that episode !
It’s not a skit, it’s a tv show. So you need to watch the whole thing to appreciate it really.
Hello muppet, little fact for ya, the 2 Irish guys in this are the writers of Father Ted
This clip is one of the worst ways to be introduced to I'm Alan Partridge (which is top 5 comedies in my book) as everything is out of context. Definitely worth to give a few episodes to get it
Cogan is of Irish descent, both his parents are Irish. Check out his skit on Irish rebel songs, it's really good.
The Irishman on the right is Graham Linahane, the writer of “Fr Ted”.
I regularly use "What's da big oidea" in everyday conversation.
KB ... love it 👊🏼😬👊🏼
Alan is my favourite 👊🏼🙏👊🏼💯👊🏼
The Irish fellas are the writers of, Father Ted.
Graham Linerhan wrote : The IT Crowd & Black Books. 😬
The two Irish guys are the writers of Father Ted.. and Big Train.. you have to watch Big Train!!!!! So underrated sketch show .. the office wank being one of the best and funniest ever!
Great Irish mockmumentry(Spinal tap,curb u'r fibes,office,trailerparkboys)
you should try is Hardy bucks!...think it will expand your horizons,
glad the channel is going well btw!.
ruclips.net/video/Woru41QLyLI/видео.html
Steve Coogan comes from an Irish background. plays an Irish priest in Moone Boy think it was
If it hasn't been said yet, the guy on the right at the breakfast table is Graham Linehan, the writer of father ted and the it crowd
The Irish guy in the dark jacket is the guy that wrote Father Ted, Graham Linehan
Listen...I'm Irish...from Belfast. Always found this(and Alan Partridge in general) brilliant and very funny. I think I'm correct in saying that the two guys there...sorry, can't remember their names, are the writers of 'Alan Partridge' and 'Father Ted'.
in case no-one else has mentioned it, the Irish guy on da right with black hair is the writer for Fr Ted, and also Black Books. Thought you ought to know...
listening to his radio show and not watching is one of the best ways to get a grasp of what alan is all about - genius
Hi KB, Don't worry Alan manages to upset everyone eventually with his crass statements! The whole British/Irish subject is a very contentious one and the fact that Graham Linehan & Arthur Matthews appeared in this skit shows how far we've come to be able to joke about the troubled history of the Island of Ireland and British involvement/occupation, As you know Graham & Arthur wrote Father Ted, Also written for Harry Enfield/Paul Whitehouse, Alas Smith & Jones, Fast Show (You really need to check that show out!) I.T Crowd, Black Books in short they've been at the forefront of UK TV comedy for 3 decades now and long may it continue PS You should have seen a longer version of that episode 'Sunday, Bloody, Sunday' springs to mind Cheers Jim, UK
Check out early Partridge stuff, his sports commentary is absolute class. I love the way the character has evolved over the years
British people, if they have a basic level of intelligence, understand that we are are a mixture of many nations. We don’t mention our heritage, we understand what we are
One of the Irish characters is Graham Linehan the writer of Father Ted and The IT Crowd, before he got cancelled by the thought fascists.
That episode gets better, when those two Irish TV executives arrange to come round to Alan’s house for further talks… except he doesn’t have one, hence he lives permanently in the motel. Meanwhile he bumps into a big fan of his at the bar who offers to let him use his house. Alan arrives ahead of them and begins to realise his fan is a bit of an oddball, but it’s too late to turn back so when the executives show up he has to pretend its his house although he doesn’t even know where the toilet is. It quickly becomes clear that the fan is a total psycho with newspaper cuttings of Alan on his bedroom wall and a tattoo of Alan’s face on his chest, and when Alan tries to distance himself the fan gets aggressive and tries to kill him. Meanwhile the talks with the executives predictably end in chaos, with Alan saying to them: “Two things; first, I presume you’ve seen enough and want to leave. Second, can I please come with you?” It ends with Alan fleeing for his life, unable to start his car and running himself to exhaustion across the fields pursued by the bare-chested maniac. It’s hysterical to watch.
Bruh you just spoiled the whole episode
@@cockoffgewgle4993 Er... sorry about that, got a bit carried away...
That guy at the table is Graham Linehan , he wrote Father Ted
I think perhaps much i this scene is lost on you without knowing more of Alan Partridge's backround and earlier episodes.
Those two Irish guys are actually well know writers , they actually wrote a lot of material with Steve Coogan ( who has Irish background) so there isn't really any anti Irish stuff
Irish people actually love it. We miss those times when British TV slagged us off . Now its all Woke and Inclusive. That's why all the Funniest comedy clips you play are dated from 10 to 20 years ago.
it's from an episode, it's not a sketch
YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS SERIES!
The I'm Alan Partridge series follows on from an earlier series called Knowing Me, Knowing You With Alan Partridge. I'd recommend watching episode #1 of that to see how he begins his talk show host career.
FYI, the guy on the right side is the writer of Father Ted and The IT Crowd
I'm sure others have said it already🤔those two Irish guy's are the creative geniuses of Father Ted😉
The Irish guy on the right is Graham Linehan, he wrote Father Ted. He also wrote two other excellent sitcoms, The IT Crowd and Black Books, well worth a look.
the 2 Irish fellows are Arthur Mathews and Graham linihan the writers of father ted.
You need to watch the whole episode to get the robot and gas jokes. The two Irish lads are actually on the writing team.
I've got another suggestion Mr and Mrs boomer. The green wing, hospital comedy, brilliant 👍
"Italian blood, Irish blood,... and a bit of English muppetry" covers it all.👌🏻
Ray Liotta.. Henry Hill
You took this way to personally man, this is just what British humour is like, we always just make fun of each other .
Watch the videos with DAN in, they’re always brilliant
