The pause after "Granddad!" is better than 90% of spoken jokes. There is so much stuff going on. I love all the stuff you have learned about his private life through small hints over the years
So many actors can often resent playing the same character for years and years, but I adore how Coogan just keeps finding stuff for Partridge, and clearly loves doing it 😂😂😂
...and the brief little confused look straight ahead, of Jenny's eyes 😳 just before turning back to continue the chat with Alice... Oohh...those eyes... as funny as they are lovely...
@@desalley hahaha, I'm gutted i missed his live shows. Assuming they where good then? 😂 Kenco coming out of your nose? Hahaha. Love he said the brand of coffee over the word coffee. So Partridge 😂😉 mid morning matters I loved too, the newest BBC (This Time) was hilarious. I've seen it a few times and find new funny bits. Hes such a meticulous perfectionist. Pure art. Hope he has more projects lined up in his "conetract"🎫🎭
Each time Partridge reinvents himself I think ...this won't be any good,he reaches another new level...it IS genius as well as the actors an production around him😂
Couldn't agree more. Would highly recommend the podcast he does ' From the Oasthouse' which is on audible. Worth every penny. Also the books. I don't know of any other comic creation that has transcended so many mediums so brilliantly.
Alan Partridge is the absolute funniest character ever created by a comedian, imo. Just insanely funny. He cracks me up constantly. The writing and the acting are both leagues beyond any other
I just see a **Richard Madley**impersonation,with the same lack of self awarness-pomposity-self reverence+grey personality..... Chris Evans **is** Alan Partridge...
It’s got the most subtext I rewatch it more and more than anything else, mid morning matters 2nd place probably but I love this era of Alan so much, he and Simon and also Lynn’s brilliant, it’s just the best, so funny
That Scottish guy on the mental health bit was simply brilliant. The "Heh" at the end of every sentence throwing them every time. Also dunno about anyone else but Jenny is stunning.
"The last of the rebels dispatched, had a bloody defeat, that could have been avoided if the peasants had simply raised their concerns THRU THE CORRECT CHANNELS!" lmao dead🤣
This is GOLD ! I have rarely physically laughed out loud at TV comedy, but this did it for me. Living abroad, I don't get this on TV. I'd never even heard of it. Thank you YTube for suggesting this. I thought Patridge had been retired years ago. But Coogan is going from strength to strength with this. It is GOLD
Alan's face superimposed on to the schoolboy is priceless, and his voice too. Alan reminisces about his school days in his audiobook, well worth a listen.
@@thebeatcreeper He reminisces about his school days in 'I Partridge - we need to talk about Alan', I listened to the Audiobook via UA-cam (someone had downloaded the whole thing - still available) and then bought a hardcopy of the book; well worth it too! Cheers
The way he is desperately looking for a way to excuse himself for correcting her and blames "a problem with men" just so he can have his moment of pedantry. Absolutely brilliant, so much more observant than anything else and doesn't shove the message down your throat.
0:24 - Introducing Alice. I have stomach cramps from laughing and my eyes are all red and swollen like I've been ugly crying. Holy shit, I needed that :)
The introduction of Alice Clunt, and Alan’s explanation is the greatest moment ever in comedy history!!! Never before have I come so close to dying of laughter! Alice herself also plays the part absolutely perfectly.
My grandad: he made funny noises, he had whiskers and he liked fish!!! How can you top that for a reminiscence! Alan’s performance in the fashion show is Oscar winning stuff!
Lolly Adefope's, Ruth Duggan character part is just absolutely Perfect - Her character holds SUCH an overwhelming grudge against poor Alan, shes determined to undermine & destroy him (for what we discover is such a small reason!). . . . love that superfluous, extra storyline, to the script Lolly - You are a star !
"Hang on a minute, Jennie's been reading my notes, and I've been accidentally reading the viewers' opinions! That means... You've agreed with me at every point!"
Alan Partridge has been around a long time now - yet the humour gets better, cleverer and funnier. I can't think of any other British comic character that has done that.
I'll give this series another shot but must admit didnt take to it like the earlier series, I think the character is too slick and nothing like the old bumbling Partridge of old.
@@maccagrabme I agree that the AP of 2021 isn't the same as, say, the AP of 1997. Still, I have been following the character since the very beginning on Radio Four, and for me there is continuity behind the outward change. I enjoyed This Time.
This is genius. It's just brilliant. And I think it was just too clever for most people to comprehend. You've really got to 'get' Alan to see the sheer brilliance of this show! For those that know 😂😂
i just like how alan shows different facets of his self centred character with every platform. here you get more of the sadistic alan who enjoys toying with simon when simon dares speak. he LOVES seeing simon try to crack a joke and then he withholds any support for him.
Reminds me of SO many actual people. Passive aggressive warfare. That's why it's so funny, Coogan knows what those people are up to and rips the piss out of them.
I actually imagined Alan standing on the side walk doing an over the top slow clap while a woman parallel parks wrong in front of him. It's a lovely image lol.
I like to think what it might be like in Coogan's head. The random ideas that pop up and the things he thinks about must be totally off the wall. I love that man
There is so much to unpack in his every performance, it's incredible.
It's almost as if Alan is an onion and we get to take a bite.
The pause after "Granddad!" is better than 90% of spoken jokes. There is so much stuff going on. I love all the stuff you have learned about his private life through small hints over the years
@@Myrzghe His obsession with unnecessary details has indeed allowed us to learn a lot about the man over the years.
@@Myrzghe I think another book like I, partridge would be awesome after these new series.
@@Myrzghe We learned quite a lot about him in Oasthouse.
Alan Partridge has been playing a fairly serious character called Steve Coogan for years now and he does it pretty well
Yeah, I like the Steve Cogan character but I feel it still needs a little work.
Alan Partridge is the man Steve Coogan could've been.
Who never washes or brushes his hair
He's always losing his mobile.
Turns out it was Keanu Reeves all along
The beep when she says the word ‘country’. 👌
`my wife is a lecturer,`
Alan : `aren`t they all.`
Dan
😂😂😂
Genius
So many actors can often resent playing the same character for years and years, but I adore how Coogan just keeps finding stuff for Partridge, and clearly loves doing it 😂😂😂
Do you think Richard Madeley resents playing Alan Partridge every time he is on TV?
Perhaps because Steve controls Alan, unlike say, a long running soap player who has to do perform what the studios want?
@@krell2130 init, he seems to be able to dip back into Partridge when he has an idea for him without needing to constantly be pumping material out.
At the market where I bought the vegetables, you can also buy flowers.
Money.....for.......nowt
“Maybe it’s time to take a fresh look at shell.” Could be my favourite moment of the show. (Along with Simon’s “keeping cool!”)
Superb
The painful little smile afterwards looking at the camera internally screaming for acceptance was Partrige at his best imo!🤣🤣 never seen this before.
He also accuses them of the Exxon Valdez disaster when the clue is in the name lol
Glad someone appreciates Simon's "keeping cool" as much as I do. Both great lines
...and the brief little confused look straight ahead, of Jenny's eyes 😳 just before turning back to continue the chat with Alice...
Oohh...those eyes... as funny as they are lovely...
He is just hilarious. When his knees cracked when he lowered himself, the split second look of despair cracked me up. 20:14
His knees crack at just about every chance they get across the seasons - such a funny touch
He did it in the recent Stratagem live show as well, when it happened I laughed so hard I had Kenco coming out of my nostrils

they even crack when he slides down the railings outside the school
Great Britain is singularly blessed with this kinds of sustained brilliance. We don't have this level of brilliance sadly in Sweden.
What can you expect from a land with no sun?
“Alice Clunt”
“It’s Alice Fluck, actually”
…
“Right, I see what I’ve done”
😂😂😂
That’s from a real story that happened to Diana Dors
Yes.
That's what he said.
Thanks
😂😂😂😂
@@johnkavanagh3830 I don't agree. He'd go to Legoland. Bye.
I don’t understand the joke can you explain
The clunt/fluck part had me laughing so hard
And it was on BBC1 at 7pm.
Come out ye Black and Tans!
Its an old school joke, but he rehashed it perfectly.
I was uncontrollable by the ending 😅😅😅😅😅
Love the way AP really gets into the swing of presenting the fashion segment. Did the same when he spent the day working on the checkout at Tesco.
They should call them bags for the drive home.
The Tesco scene is pure genius.
You go careful my love...PACKING.
Chance would be a fine thing
He always brings it back to himself. Its brilliant
He's a lot like me in that respect. Ahh. See what you mean . . .
A higher proportion of brilliantly funny, excruciatingly funny and just plain funny than anything else on tv.
With the exception of Michael, who died.
Can't believe you cut the "no, we mustn't" from the end of the hand washing clip! One of the best lines of the series :)
Each time Partridge reinvents himself I think ...this won't be any good,he reaches another new level...it IS genius as well as the actors an production around him😂
"Shit, shit..'shit, she said' " = and it is SHIT !
The Alice Clunt moment is my very favourite TV piece ever.
It's based on an apparently true story. Fluck was Diana Dors' real surname.
Had me laughing my head off
Agreed.
Quite.
Jimmy
Every time I watch him he seems to get funnier A rare talent which always leaves me uplifted. Cheers Alan inimitable.

Nomad is on UA-cam read by Alan himself, lovely stuff!
Which is ironic as he imitates a talk show host.
Klunt. 😂. I wonder if Richard Madeley watched Alan and just wonders what people are laughing at?
The guy in the re-enactment scene who says 'I've got kids' just as Alan 'stabs' him always cracks me up

It really does.
Lovely sense of humour.
I wonder who got the power pack
@@kristianTV1974 what a funny story
"You took a peep at my sleep... What did you reap?" Lost it here 🤣
That Scottish guy on the mental health bit was simply brilliant. The "Heh" at the end of every sentence throwing them every time. Also dunno about anyone else but Jenny is stunning.
Eh?
Hmmm...
Yep, Jenny is a corker
I'm not sure you can say Jenny is stunning anymore. It's something called "objectification". I dunno it seems like political correctness gone mad.
Jenny doing “eh” and Alan’s side eye had me rolling
“Jenny Gresham” is such an awesome actress. She should be a leading actress in Hollywood. Her talent is awe inspiring.
You mean she's in your wankbank?
In tears at the school scene when he pops out around the corner of the stairs 🤣🤣🤣
Genuine comic genius, just gets better and better.
The actors and actresses are always so well selected.
It’s brilliant how Partridge continues to scoot into the female host’s personal space. He’s so transparent.
I adore how the Noel Edmonds 'Feudiverse' was further fleshed out with the introduction of hissing cats.
"The last of the rebels dispatched, had a bloody defeat, that could have been avoided if the peasants had simply raised their concerns THRU THE CORRECT CHANNELS!" lmao dead🤣
I love the way Alan pronounces certain words such as anti-bee-otics 😂
The Ruth Duggan bits are so amazing, perfectly written and performed

A German U-Boat Commander would kill for the velocity of a leopard seal, oh Alan
Ruth pretending to be delayed is hilarious 🤣 answers her straight away and the fuel in the turbo lol
I watched this with my top off whilst eating corned-beef hash!
Lovely stuff 🏆🇬🇧
Omg i love corned beef hash, did you have it with brown sauce?
Funny that, I watched it with a cup of beans and a sausage
@Tallulah La Ghash he's a fool if he didn't.
So for real, Alan is a genius. Just so much brilliant material it's just oozing out of him
That Alan back at school sketch had me in stitches when I first saw it , just couldn't stop laughing haha
Alan's face superimposed on to the schoolboy is priceless, and his voice too. Alan reminisces about his school days in his audiobook, well worth a listen.

The look on his face as it slowly turns...
I love when Alan gets more increasingly camp during the Fashion segment 🤣
You get more increasingly camp during the fashion segment, mate, if anyone does…
"The fuel in the turbo charger" part is hilarious
Mhm
His face as soon as she says it
‘Dee-gull cheers…’ 🤣🤣
The way he is desperately looking for a way to excuse himself for correcting her and blames "a problem with men" just so he can have his moment of pedantry.
Absolutely brilliant, so much more observant than anything else and doesn't shove the message down your throat.
As a Scot, seeing Partridge with Jonathan Watson is like two worlds colliding... Scottish comedy legend.
Candle in the wind moment 😂 please return partridge
9:05 the way his voice changes. No one else does comedy like this.
Brilliant series...up there with the best Partridge stuff. Hope there's a third series.
I could hardly breathe watching the night sweats segment 😂😂😂
Scratching his arse for an hour😂
He's been away too long. He's got the common touch. ♥
Classic stuff!! Alan is great and Jennie's facial reactions to his cringy comments are absolutely brilliant!!!
24:09 I love her expression.
31:35 and 32:30 gets better.😂
The delay conversation was brilliant.
Alice Clunt
Its Alice Fluck
Ah...I've seen what I've done...
Brilliant....🤣🤣🤣
It’s based on a real-life anecdote about the actress Diana Dors’ maiden name, nicely borrowed for the episode.
His face as a kid is great
“Falklanders then” is an absolutely smashing line so well delivered!
This Time, MMM, his audiobooks and his From the Oasthouse podcast are his finest bits of Alan. The movie is also incredible.
more, More, MORE Partridge - He NEVER ages !
Thats because the original character wore makeup to age him 20+ years.
0:24 - Introducing Alice. I have stomach cramps from laughing and my eyes are all red and swollen like I've been ugly crying. Holy shit, I needed that :)
Alright calm down
Classic Alan. I'm loving the copy of the One Show's set too: its exactly the same couch, just different colour😁
If you ever want to have 44 mins go by asap than this Partridge is for you.
43:10 Alan up at the camera on the tv in the background is a hilarious touch 😂😂
The female presenter is a brilliant actress.
He really shows how watered down personalities are on tv it’s brilliant
The introduction of Alice Clunt, and Alan’s explanation is the greatest moment ever in comedy history!!! Never before have I come so close to dying of laughter! Alice herself also plays the part absolutely perfectly.
He still thinking about the turbo having fuel in it. Brilliant.
Leg crack on 20 mins makes me cry laughing 😂 😅😂
I was trying to find it when it happened, absolutely pissed myself 😂 His face when it happens.
My god. Partridge is an absolutely wonderful creation. Both the writing and performance, with all the subtleties and nuances, etc - lovely stuff.
Looking forward to going to see partridge live next year !
My grandad: he made funny noises, he had whiskers and he liked fish!!! How can you top that for a reminiscence!

“Apologies for the wind, and the racism”.
An overwhelming sense of Gary Numan….😂😂😂 classic!

Fyi, that is NOT a novelty type of citrus fruit. It's a word used by the educated.
The beeping of country is delicious.
His clearly stated hatred for the lower classes is a thing of beauty
Captures a lot of Britain very nicely, very good satire.
Especially given that he's lower middle class.
