Steve Coogan's (Alan) mum and dad are my grandparents closest friends. His dad sadly passed away. But they amd my grandparents lived around the corner from each other in Blackley Manchester. They were both Foster parents and Steve and his siblings were close friends with my mum and her sisters. I haven't had the chance to meet him myself, but he still invites my grandparents to his movie premieres, what is to me an amazing gesture.
I must commend you on your HIGH-CRINGE-TOLERANCE at Master-Level. This show is insane. Now kind of 21 years later, maybe people will get it. Or not. I watched it in London when it came out on VHS. It might have been my "FULL" first "binge" ever... Uuuhhh... "They re-badged it you fool!"
I love Alan Partridge, glad you're enjoying this! If you get the chance I would recommend just the final episode of his chat show "Knowing Me Knowing Yule". It's completely standalone and Christmas themed.
The first time I heard Alan Partridge were his bbc radio 4 chat show on a saturday afternoon in 1992, Knowing Me, Knowing You with Alan Partridge (Episode 1) www.youtube.com/watch?v The funniest thing was that listeners jammed the phone lines with complaints, thinking he was a real person abusing his guests, I've followed his story ever since , ruddy bloody brilliant!!
Alan is one of those people with WAY too much confidence and practically zero filter. Man, if we're not the best at doing awkward, uncomfortable comedy...then I don't know what country is! 😄 Love your reactions dude. There's been so many times where I've thought 'Josh won't get that' or 'it's too dated / not edgy enough' and you've either pissed yourself laughing at the time or talked about it at the end. That's why we love you man...you're not just watching stuff, you're enjoying it and analysing the content for what it is. Keep doing what you're doing 👍
I see you have uploaded a video and my mouse finger is already quivering. I see you watching another episode of Alan Partridge and I smack that mouse over the like button until it breaks. This is the way.
One of the best series ever on tv. So glad you are enjoying it. There was also a series called Knowing Me Knowing You, Alan Partridge, where Alan Hosts a chat show . There are some videos of it online.
Reminds of my first love... She was 18, I was 20. Both virgins... We decided that on Valentines day we'd buy each other £50 worth of sexy stuff. She bought, amongst other things, some chocolate body paint... And just like with Alan it went every where... But it came with a really stiff brush and she decided to just paint my 'helmet'... And this is how naive we were I couldn't explain to her that she was hurting my Bell end by scraping off the choc with her teeth. It was partly naivety and partly experimentation. But mainly because her English wasn't great. lol. No I didn't travel anywhere, she was a Pakistani girl and only brought over when she was 12. I used to find her mixed up words cute. If I was going to the shop she'd say "can you buy me a Coke can" or "will you bring me back a crisp packet". 5 years were together. Then her family found her and shipped her back off to India where a deal had been done for her to marry a cousin in exchange for business shares... So fucking mad
The thing with Alan is the whole brilliance of the programme is the character, the more you see the funnier it is. He is totally without social skills, shallow and has no self - awareness.
Alan is loosely based on TV presenter Richard madeley. Richard once famously interviewed a lady whose husband had gone missing. The lady had brought her toddler with her and he was curiously wandering around the studio. Madeley said something along the lines of 'look at him, just like daddy, running off'... Here is just a taste of madeley ruclips.net/video/Zo2JBVv6T5E/видео.html
@stephen burridge Steve Coogan has said it himself. Yes, he was originally based on the sports presenter, but he has evolved into madeley. Who has always been a wanker
Partridge was UNIQUE, he was everybody's nightmare loon, but we loved him, because he reminded us --in part--of sombody we either met, worked with, or christ help-us, a family member.
At the risk of coming off like Alan, the car was a Rover 800 saloon which was quite upmarket at the time. it was rovers attempt to compete with Jaguar, BMW etc.
Search for Richard madely goes full partridge Josh. There's many rumours that Steve Coogan based the character on this TV host. And if you listen to the way he puts his foot in his mouth constantly you'll see why.. 😬😬
you seem to love all that I love about uk comedy. I dont know what accessibility you may have but I would recommend The Green Wing from beginning to end. its terribly awkward and funny in the worst way. I would also recommend all of black books ,Some mothers do ave em, Porridge, ...
Thanks Josh! Great seeing your positive reaction. Glad you get this humour, its one of my favourite shows. Hope you'll do The Office some day. Alan Partridge is like a proto- Dave Brent.
He told them they were fired individually because he did not want them to know he didn't get a 2nd series, it would have been very bad for his ego, he was only thinking of himself and not them.
im loving this, its all about getting his character and u are, it only gets better once u get to know what a twat he is, theres so many funny things i miss 1st time and watch again, partridge and pilkington brilliant
If he didn't fire people for silly stuff, he'd have to pay them a redundancy package by law. We have much better worker rights in the UK than in the US. If you watch a few more episodes you'll eventually see his Mini Metro.

That’s a great ‘claim to fame’ btw mate.
I've got a scam going with a big plate LOL
"Time to run yourself a big bath, It's Chris Rea" ....With an egg in it?
I honestly think that cut to the owl is one of the greatest comedy cuts ever.
Ha yeah! There was practically zero beat missed between her suggesting going shopping and the cut to the owl 😂😂
Yeah, that was great - especially with the tension between him and Gill!
The whole owl scene is amazingly great..."i was just protraying a madman" Whole series is tbh
Lynnnnnn . . . I've pieced my foot on a spiiiike.
@@ClaudioSanchezCC_"No i dont want to take it off, you take your foot off"_
Lol : )
@@davelordy Don't shine that torch in my face mate... I've just lost a pint of blood!
One of the funnier episodes. Has Josh watched that one, yet?
@@batintheattic7293 It's series 2 so no not nearly
Don't spoil it for Josh!
Alan is a legend.
He is awesome man, so hilarious =]
They struggled not to laugh when Alan opened the door with chocolate on his face. Here's the outtakes. ruclips.net/video/qJ5CdJwKNI8/видео.html
He started off his career doing a brother & sister, Paul & Pauline Calf. He was equally convincing as both. Scary!
Got any Suede?
Bag of shite....(That's paul calf saying that)

But you either love it or hate it.

Good stuff,glad you like it. Looking forward to more. Great watching it again with you.

“Let battle commence” - not that funny when watching it, but it is a crazy line !
3 minutes time I’ll be talking to Norfolk’s youngest butcher!
Love every line of this show.

Lol what a lovely anecdote
Back of the net
The thing with Alan is the whole brilliance of the programme is the character, the more you see the funnier it is. He is totally without social skills, shallow and has no self - awareness.
you didn't record the "I've just been eating a moose" part, I laughed so hard at that.
I love Michael in all these shows lol
Sorry, sometimes it's difficult to understand the Geordie people.
Apart from the monkey thing - he's a genuinely sympathetic character.
And he's 'Aleksandr the meerkat' ... Back of the net!
Alan is loosely based on TV presenter Richard madeley. Richard once famously interviewed a lady whose husband had gone missing. The lady had brought her toddler with her and he was curiously wandering around the studio. Madeley said something along the lines of 'look at him, just like daddy, running off'...
Here is just a taste of madeley

@stephen burridge Steve Coogan has said it himself. Yes, he was originally based on the sports presenter, but he has evolved into madeley. Who has always been a wanker
Simon Greenhall, who plays Michael, puts on a really good Geordie accent. I saw him in an interview and his real accent surprised me a bit.
He`s also good as a Meerkat too , as he`s the voice of Compare The Market Adverts.
Fantastic, I just love this never get tired of watching it😂😂😂❤
Keep watching this, it is fantastic.
Will do bud thanks =]
And now it's time for Alan's fact of the day:
SOME Americans actually 'get' Alan Partridge.
Another one of those same time tomorrow.
Nice. Now - A thick slice of Thin... Well I don't have to finish that...
Partridge was UNIQUE, he was everybody's nightmare loon, but we loved him, because he reminded us --in part--of sombody we either met, worked with, or christ help-us, a family member.
Mini Metro (car) is smaller than a small compact!... Obviously his 'status'/ego couldn't accept that! lol
Alan Partridge shows makes me laugh harder than any other comedies.
You missed the "I've just been eating some moose" joke. 😄
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched these. Still cracks me up every time 😂
‘His car’s already shit ‘ 😂
At the risk of coming off like Alan, the car was a Rover 800 saloon which was quite upmarket at the time. it was rovers attempt to compete with Jaguar, BMW etc.
Love your T-shirt! I’m a huge Halloween fan!
Why don’t you watch the full episodes?
Im not driving a mini metro! 😂
You don’t remember me DO YOU!
He butchered her on the radio.
Paul and Pauline Calf by him is fantastic
"I've just been eating some mousse.." 🤣🤣🤣
Yay! Thank you for this. Stupidly funny but also cringy af.
Thanks bud this was hilarious I loved it =]
Dan, Dan.
Please do series 2
God bless you
💜💜💜💜💜👍👍👍👍👍👍
Search for Richard madely goes full partridge Josh. There's many rumours that Steve Coogan based the character on this TV host. And if you listen to the way he puts his foot in his mouth constantly you'll see why.. 😬😬
Partridge is sheer brilliance.
Two hilarious U.S. TV shows are “The Larry Sanders Show” & “Curb Your Enthusiasm”. Have you seen either of them Josh ?
Well I've timed my search perfectly lol 12 mins after upload
LOL good timing =]
you seem to love all that I love about uk comedy. I dont know what accessibility you may have but I would recommend The Green Wing from beginning to end. its terribly awkward and funny in the worst way. I would also recommend all of black books ,Some mothers do ave em, Porridge, ...
Damn son.
Geez, you're pulling these eps straight off BBC iPlayer? You'd end up in jail in the UK for doing that.
What makes it funnier is there are actual mid management men like this. And some 70 and 80 DJ fit this profile 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm from Norwich and Alan is god around here.... AHA!!!
I’m from Norwich, Alan is a bit of a legend. Even got a statue
Thanks Josh! Great seeing your positive reaction. Glad you get this humour, its one of my favourite shows. Hope you'll do The Office some day.

As a Norwich resident we always get people making reference to this. However, I do love this show and it's great to see you enjoying it!
it's hard to watch when it's clipped so much, hope you take the time to watch the full episodes ?
Loving your reactions! I probably have this series memorised by now, but it's still great fun watching along with you
I'm Alan Partridge, the 2 series, are genius. They've not aged at all.
209-0 like-dislike ratio. Unheard of...
im loving this, its all about getting his character and u are, it only gets better once u get to know what a twat he is, theres so many funny things i miss 1st time and watch again, partridge and pilkington brilliant
Ahhhaaaaaaaaaa
I use to have a Mini Metro 😁
They've rebadged it yer' FOOL!
it was only the car the Mini Cooper could have been
@@CupidStunt0001 Cracking reference there. I'm sitting here in bed, spilled my drink laughing, went all over the valance.
What's a valance?
@@SteveBownMusic The.... skirt thing around the side of the bed!
If he didn't fire people for silly stuff, he'd have to pay them a redundancy package by law. We have much better worker rights in the UK than in the US. If you watch a few more episodes you'll eventually see his Mini Metro.
But to my knowledge, every US state that has at-will employment also has the same redundancy payment laws.
His driving the rover 😂😂😂😂😂😂
We could go shopping. Hmmmm
They just get better and better these shows
Absolutely brilliant 😀
Just googled 'Mini Metro.' Can't say I blame Alan to be honest.
At one time, the Metro was the best selling car in Britain.................
We Norfolk people love Alan
Let battle commence..
Great stuff. Such a funny series.
Hey Josh, keep an eye on where your mouse pointer is :) Took you 6 mins this time, hehe :D
The Detectives
Brilliant....
I love Alan Partridge, cringeworthy at it's best
I honestly thought so then I discovered David brent
@@tucosalamanca5194 that's true, not much in it lol
I used to have a mini metro.... yep...
So did I. Someone nicked it!
Yes! Jash lad!
Love the Partridge man. He's a true Legend 🤣😹🤣
He is hilarious man =]
