It’s up there for me with one of the greatest “pass-by” gags ever. That whole interaction with the caller is absolutely hilarious, but that tiny detail just gets me every time. The panic on Alan’s face when he realises the caller is still live, the desperation to end the conversation…. The callers incredibly delayed “mustard”, while talking over Alan. The most genius comedic writing ever.
‘No it’s gone’. His expression. What a great performance. Has anyone got so much detail and emotion into a comedy character before? No. No they haven’t.
@@FoodforThought12345678dsds *anything* is better than Big Bang Theory... well, maybe not Mrs Brown's Boys, which is just as bad (but in a different way)
Omg someone doesn't know what it is? Like 30 years ago, car companies started bringing in power steering for the steering wheel, so people wouldn't have to use the strength of their arms to steer.
The nano-aluminium in the chemtrails are starting to effect poor Alans short term memory recall.. The people that feed beef burgers to swans spray us night n day
One of the clever things about this is that there a people just like Alan out there. Well no one is just like Alan I meant similar to Alan. No one could be that annoying.
I dont get british humour at all. I watched this not knowing who these people are, thinking this may be a real radio show, and the ending completely killed me. I must have laughed for a straight minute.
Fuck, please tell me you realise that the child Stephen Tries lifted 90% of his comedy persona from Alan Partridge (and the remaining 10% from David Brent).
The blurted out "mustard" followed by pressing the button to cut him off gets me every time. The comedic timing is on point.

"and that's a relish" one of my favourite bits of the entire series 😅
I still use that phrase now.
Mustard.
That long laugh and the yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.. Lol
Stephen Murray Simon’s face when he can’t remember his meal
That laugh is excellent
He needs to be knighted that was mindblowingly funny.
I wonder who got the powerpack?
The 34 dislikes are from Norwich’s least grateful buskers.
MUSTARD.
The world's hottest yellow paste.
Its worth looking at simon alone through the whole sketch - the change of facial expressions is priceless
The inanity of the chatter is so accurate
‘A database of Norwich’s least grateful buskers’🤣🤣
‘No it’s gone’. His expression. What a great performance. Has anyone got so much detail and emotion into a comedy character before? No. No they haven’t.
1:59 - 2:09 takes me back to when he did a lengthy laugh to kill a bit of time then said "News!" lol.
I wake up at night in a cold sweat some nights still wondering what happened to the power pack.
@@miasma3874 I definitely think Roy's brother-in-law kept it for himself.
What a funny story.
@@Zzzzz_Zzzzzz______ that's so Sprowston
Alan's (chuckle) Funny Stories
Compiling a database of Norwich's least grateful buskers...Great intro 🤣
Thanks for that. It’s so great. From the very first time we hear Alan’s voice. Awesome comment 😂
01:02 HAHA!!! Just the comedic timing of when he says "mustard"
It's AHA, no h.
In less than one hour MUSTARD myself (click) and Sidekick Simon...
This is great banter it really is
it's like this all the time.
Coogan is such a fantastic actor
I'm a better actor
When he’s playing himself, sure.
Never has air been killed so thoroughly.
You and I both know that dead air is a crime
@@Dildaphone and its ok to join in.
Sidekick Simon is so underrated, hilarious
Roman Alizarde how do you know that?
@@hadleygilbert1516 I don't think he's underrated. I think he's overrated.
He co-wrote it with Coogan.
@@eightiesboy he is fantastic as sidekick simon, but he didn't co-write it. The gibbons brothers and ianucci co-wrote it.
I don't think he's underrated: the fact that he's there with genius Coogan for 2 whole series says enough. And he plays it to absolute perfection!
The banter in this conversation by these 2 blokes is really great.
He is such a genius observational multi-layered comedian I can barely cope, 😆
hahaha that is great banter, it really is!
Alan straining his very soul to remember what he had to eat is beautifully done.
Alan was never happier in career and life than this moment right here
I wish they'd pay SC to do this full time on an actual radio show, imagine being able to tune in and just listen to this live whenever you wanted 👀
This show was a masterpiece
Which show is this
@@jordanhedington2421 Alan Partridge's Mid Morning Matters.
better than Big Bang Theory?
@@FoodforThought12345678dsds *anything* is better than Big Bang Theory... well, maybe not Mrs Brown's Boys, which is just as bad (but in a different way)
2:02 my man sounds like a clock
Like xfm when Ricky, Steve and Karl had their Saturday spot...Just absolute "twaddle"
I've yet to hear better, xfm in those days was just fantastic, when it really was 'cutting edge' as they used to proclaim
It's like SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many real DJs & pal.
Bum time with Branning
Something about the delivery of “...mustard.” makes me howl
Same! Genius comedic timing.
the way he gets jealous and over exaggerates how funny simon is is brilliant
Remarkable ability to capture the tribble and nonsense communicated and the surreal element of Alan's character..........comedy masterclass.......
Definitely one of the best moments from the series. Genius.
Would love more of these , some of his best work.
Best comedy ever made, amazing writing
A crescent of crisps and a hot egg
Sausage barrier.
This is surreally funny
Man the barricades.
1:29 I have never heard anyone describe a woman in this way before and its absolutely funny
It's almost like an actual radio podcast
Alan knew how to pronounce sprowston once..
This can’t be real all the comedic timing is perfect
Bro it’s a tv show, are you American?
Chatagoogoo
@@leorowe849 it’s just me admiring the show mate, I’m Aussie 🇦🇺
@DrZTream didn't he beat up and shoot a bunch of guests that one time?
It’s a parody of local radio stations
My goodness this is pure gold
and all the love went out from his eyes
Pure comedy genius.
Richard Madeley was fantastic in this.
Emergency DAT only milliseconds from kicking in there
2:00 is that a chicken
He nearly hit the 30 second silence mark, dropped it at the zero hour
Simon plays socially awkward people worryingly well
Alan partridge = Greg “opie” Huges
Finally these 2 worlds have collided. 2 of my favourite things. I have to say, this is GREAT banter. It really is.........
You can literally hear the listeners tuning out
A database of Norwich's least grateful buskers
That was great banter it really was
That was good banter.
I’d like to hear more of his car / women comparison.
Two geniuses
"Branston pickle theeeennn"
HUH HUH UH UH UH UH UH UH UH UH UH....That's excellent..
15 seconds of dead air. Wonderful.
"Dead air ... is a crime"
Don't tell me what I had
anthea "the body" turner
Genius.
"power steering...."
Any blind man
He had. ....................
Literally missed off the best part.... "eh, ye cheeky tit"
And a crescent of crisps
Side clump of cress
power steering?
Omg someone doesn't know what it is? Like 30 years ago, car companies started bringing in power steering for the steering wheel, so people wouldn't have to use the strength of their arms to steer.

The audio quality on this. Sheesh.
Seriously? It's a 3 minute clip from years ago that is perfectly audible.

The nano-aluminium in the chemtrails are starting to effect poor Alans short term memory recall.. The people that feed beef burgers to swans spray us night n day
Its the capitalist pigs ..the farmercuiticals.
True.. Nano.aluminium can really effect short term memory... especially in the long term
Bloody farmers.

No such thing as Chemtrails.. even in Norwich.
@@diverguy3556 Y, y , y , you farmers ...😂
