Steve Coogan is a pratt, a disgusting piece of effluvia. How bloody dare he make a comment about Brexit. These pathetic clowns are just that, they are nothing more than jesters, they are paid to entertain us and nothing more. If Coogan wants to make political comment, then stand you bloody coward. Brand has gone very quite since he was challenged on the same thing and was made a fool of.
Love the way Steve and Armando took that kid's script at the end with sincerity: great blokes. More of those insights and moments needed in the business.
I absolutely love Steve Coogan,he has the ability to make me laugh until I wet my knickers.He is one of the funniest men in British comedy,a true comic genius.
Steve Coogan is a vastly underrated actor. His small part in Iannucci's "In the Loop" was incredible and actually quite filled with pathos with his part being quite non comical in a comedy. Talking of Armando Iannucci, I do adore the Thick of It and especially Veep.
Really interesting. A wonderful look into the insight of these 2 brilliant comedic chaps! I'd love to know what Steve actually thought of the guys script. Fair play to him for taking it home with him!
very good of Steve to take that guys script, he could have easily told him to fuck off, get a laugh and move on, but nope he took it, make sure it had the writers details on it and said Baby Cow would look at it. That's just brilliant.
I'm fretfully enamored with Steve, unfortunately for me perhaps, eternally. Forever thankful to pass through this lifetime in enough time & at the right time to enjoy him, while tragically askew in our earthly trajectories. *sigh* Steve, you make me feel like I'm living a teenage dream...
I wish Graham Linehan and Armando Iannucci would write something together. I feel like that those two minds would create the greatest television show that ever existed.
fascinating when being interviewed Coogan's right brain is shooting off (very hyper visual and rushing to say everything at once causing a bottleneck and stuttering of language) but when acting its his left brain smoothly in action (linear sequential thought)
thats a deep comment on the observation of the mind... can you ellaborate im not sure exactly what you are saying im interested? surely that is his nerves and the scrutiny?
i liked that. maybe have a batch of generic dimissals: 'So many of these comments are wrong' 'i'm suprised how (naive, redundant, polyrythmic, amphibiious,etc) all these commenters are" " if shame is wealth, education will make these commentors rich" forget that last, it came outta nowhere. but really snobby sounding, eh? should wind'em up good (well)
Every time I see 'Iannucci' typed down I end up obsessively trying my best to condense the pronunciation of it into three syllables rather than four. Like a middle class Brit abroad, the sound of IAN-ucchi really grates on me but so, in a way, does YAN-ucchi. The irony is I have never bothered to look at how Italians might actually say it. They'd have definitely just walked off by now to buy some pizza and little statues of the Parthenon. I'm not married.
And you're in Greece. which may be why your italian isnt working on the locals. But i'm baffled. why not 4 syllables? Ian has 2 in the uk. Gaelic? really i dont understand. that 'yan' is just some backwoods patois (pah-tow-iss)
Who agrees that at the last question Steve asked the guy to hand him the book a) so if he hadn’t read it all he would then buy another (cheeky) or b) that he may see if the guy had scribbled notes, ear marked pages etc to show him that he takes it seriously? Either way genius.
Sad to here the "The Trip" film series has ended. We need more of that these days, next one should be about heading into your 60's and older life - a lot there to work with - I just gave away a great pitch -
The best and worst question was the guy asking about canned laughter. He was totally wrong and it pissed off Coogan but it was a thing that I wondered about. I wondered how they could have an audience in an actual hotel. Steve answered the question but I'm still not sure if the audience are watching via monitors or the hotel was remade in a studio. He said the bedroom had four walls and the audience were at a distance so I'm assuming the audience is watching it live via monitors. And you can see the boom and camera in shot in a few scenes.
He wasn’t ‘totally wrong’. There are many scenes in that show that are shot outdoors, in cars, etc so his innocent misnomer of ‘canned laughter’ would be dismissed as such by anyone but an insecure egomaniac. What frustrates me about Coogan is that he despises both unsophisticated praise, and critical intelligence that mirrors his own but doesn’t abjectly fawn on him.
Indeed, I was all set to get a bit sarcastic at Not A Horse when I thought about that. I've "met" people for lunch, doesn't mean I've never seen them before. Whoops!
With a mere 90 horsepower the Megane leisurely pace can only be described as power sappingly slow making overtaking national express coaches a long drawn out affair.
The sheer volume of nobodies (of which I am of course), feeling that youtube comments is the forum to FINALLY show the world how much more insightful they are than either of these two successful professional comedians is laughable. Pun intended.
I really wished they would have addressed the guys question on extreme greed......i personally think he wasn't highlighting Coogans wealth (which I feel is deserved) but more the clear economic inequality of our times...Saxondale would have waded in!
Once in a while, I randomly remember that phrase and scene and it cracks me up. I don't know why that particular one as there was a lot of funny stuff from the A.P. and other series.
My ambition in life is to make Steve Coogan genuinely laugh. Failing that, I’d be happy with Armando…then Stewart Lee, then Stephen Fry, then Eddie Izzard…then all the way down the pecking order to Frankie Boyle. Wish me luck.
Love these guys, comic geniuses. Armando is the much funnier of the two, absolute genius. Coogan is pretty funny, but his range of comedy is a bit limited to the same gags and impressions ...
Coogan came across badly at times here. The question about canned laughter might have been technically incorrect but they didn't need to jump down the guy's throat. Coogan was acting like IAP was filmed in front of a studio audience by necessity, rather than as a choice in order that it would contain audience laughter. It was a pretty straight forward, and potentially interesting question about why there's no longer much laughter on sitcoms (as an artistic choice) but instead it became about Coogan's bruised ego.
+MrJordiejeans Of course he would 'jump down the guys throat', he's offended. The man asking the question doesn't know as much as Steve Coogan about comedy and so he's putting him in his place. There's not as much laughter on sitcoms because they are choosing not to use canned laughter and people tend to laugh at what is amusing, a very simple question answered easily.
+affalaffaa i like coogan. But as a whole, it's not a good idea to get offended every time someone asks a question of you and they don't know as much on the subject. Specially when they paid to come and see you talk about a subject that you know lots about. It's a bit sad to have you ego offended by a little question. Anyway, other than that I think he's awesome at what he does. It's funny tho, on screen he is a dork - but ultimately the coolest guy. Off screen he tries really hard to be cool, fails miserably.
MrJordiejeans are you English? I don't mean this as an insult, it's just that the kind of humour they were using there is kind of an English thing . They were just joking with the guy.
I agree, once the guy actually clarified he didn't mean canned laughter they should have moved on and answered the question, but fair enough initially to have a go, but they didn't need to drag it out when it was clear he said "canned" by mistake.
the bit about writing script is funnier than doing it is.....yep.....some great memories for me on a miniscule way in comparison. 67 now though...sigh.....my best was Penile Colony.....such a hoot writing that.
I googled Stewart Lee wondering what he was doing now. His stand up is painfully unfunny. It's the repetition. 3 times , yes most comedians repeat, to extend the laugh. But he'll take it to 6 or 7 with the pause between getting longer each time: and the audience & atmosphere get really uneasy. It was awful.
STEAK HOUSE! STEAK HOUSE! They're turnin it into a Steak House.... Oooohhh Let's all go to the Steak House and eat Steak with STeAk for starters, and then A main course of STEAK, and Steak for pudding, with a side order of steak... with steak on it!
what a talent alan partridge is to play this "steve coogan" character so convincingly
Very funny
@ezo2161Remarkable!
It sometime slips and you see that basically he is just Steve Coogan in every single film he does but for the most part, ten on ten.
This is great banter. It really is.
I regularly revisit my DVD of The Armando Iannucci Programmes. There's so much joy to be found on that disc.
"I'm over here".
waaaaay way-oh-waaaaay Deeerrby County
Wonderful! Two comedy greats. I think Armando is one of those people who make life almost bearable.
gosh jonathan i liked the first part of your comment but worried about you for the second part. hope your still enjoying life
I Armando thinks 'life' is almost bearable, too.
Quiet! 🤫
The Tories will cancel, tax Coogan to misery, arrest him for pre-crime or send him to Rwanda if they see that life can be bearable...

I wish the new Top Gear was hosted by Steve Coogan as Alan, Tommy Saxondale and Pauline Calf. I would actually watch that.
+Barth Parsley That would be brilliant.
Yes yes yes and yes haaaaaaaaa :)
Yes, Steve Coogan and James Martin would be good and Rob Brydon could be Richard Hammond!
I think, very sincerely, Coogan himself would be an excellent presenter of Top Gear. He would be a good, cynical foil for someone like Matt LeBlanc.

Also props for mentioning Saxondale at 1.12 - legendary character.
Steve Coogan is a national treasure. Long may he (and Alan Partridge) live.

I felt he just reigned it in, 5 mega pixel made me howl, i had to replay it.
Watching this for the first time, one year on from Brexit & highlighting the discussion at 39mins in.
I really enjoyed this interview. Very entertaining!
As a Brit, I love Armando's quote:
"I feel like UKIP is for ex-pats... who haven't moved abroad, as it's full of foreigners."
Mike Gledhill Replace UKIP with Donald Trump and it's still hilarious.
The world we live in 😁 sometimes you need to laugh about it or it would drive you mad.
I should think it's almost certain that armando knows all about the better class of 'foreigner'.
Well, He can joke all he wants but Nigel Farage and Trump have become two of the most important politicians in the last 50 years.
His views have drastically changed !!
Steve you've never made me work while watching. Lovely stuff.

I think this was a bit of cynical face-saving gesture after losing his cool about the ‘canned laughter’ question.

Aaaaw Sheila.....that made me smile
Are you still living the dream,6 years later, Sheila? :)
This is glorious, hope they work together again soon
I wish Graham Linehan and Armando Iannucci would write something together. I feel like that those two minds would create the greatest television show that ever existed.
Graham Linehan worked on the Day Today so they actually have.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that show. I still wish they would reunite though. They are the two greatest minds in British television in my opinion.
I dunno I think their styles are quite different.

Will be very disappointed if "Assume the Alan Position" is not the title of the second Partridge biography.
I hope Coogan followed up with the writer at the end of the interview. If so, and if he sees this, could he please offer a followup here?
I love that Paul Calf coughs for "A-ha!" (The smoking no doubt.)
Its true about the radio dramas they do spend all their time sighing a lot or have a tap running in the background, just so you dont get bored.

Probably his own biggest critic as well. Either way he needs to watch more things he isn't in. Bloody funny chap though.
