@Joseph Wilkinson Not constantly, and not by the time when gets to a certain age. Most of us mature out of this constant one-up-manship by the time we're in our thirties.
Bryden’s point about doing the public bits vs the private bits is very good. It’s when you can take Michael Caine out of The Italian Job and put him behind the counter at Tesco’s that you’ve mastered the character. Anyone can blow the bloody doors off.
@@glammer everyone used to do blow the bloody doors off. Now everybody knows batman, so everyone does the gay butler. The point is Coogans is more accurate, not whether or not one of them chose a more interesting film to do the impression.
I know they're playing fictionalized versions of themselves, and there's at least some degree of scripting, but Coogan and Bryden really have fantastic on-screen chemistry.
@@billybear2333 perhaps more exaggerations of their personalities. I cannot imagine Coogan is as insecure as his persona on these programmes make him out to be
@@mightymartianca I don't see any particular insecurities. Just someone with a lot of talent and someone who says what he feels ('alright that's enough, Rob!) and acts real. There's no point in agreeing to be in a documentary if you then insist on 'not acting up for the cameras''. What did you find insecure about Coogan? Always interested (if not slightly depressed) in how some people see negative things where others don't - we can agree 'insecurity' is not 'positive'. Ps I didn't see all the programs, just this 17 minute clip, but a big fan since ...? way back
@@Netlife-001 to chuck my two quid in the pot - you see Coogan very much playing the antagonist throughout the series. Whenever Rob displays even a hint of pride about something he’s done, or one of his accents, Coogan always drags him down and criticises him. I definitely felt his arrogance was supposed to reflect insecurity - although that may just be how I interpreted it.
Winterbottom has captured several layers in what seems such a simple idea. There is a melancholia in there. Within the bants, needling and joshing rivalry is something purer than camaraderie. It's a deep friendship. Apparently the duo took a lot of convincing to do Series 1. Maybe Winterbottom is the true genius.
2 British comedy geniuses. Superb series. All the series were fantastic. Steve and Rob please keep on doing this. There's alot more countries to go to and dine and create more laughter for us all !!!
I’ve forgotten how good great impressionists can be. And when at 8:40 when Rob did Basil Brush was pure gold for me as a child of the seventies and huge Bond fan.
the small man in a box made me laugh so hard i think i pulled a muscle in my side lol. i just wasn't expecting that at all.. it sounded almost like some effect that was added on in post, but his mouth was moving so i didn't understand what i was hearing/seeing.. and then when steve said "i've always acknowledged you do a very good small man in a box" i freakin lost it
I'm American, so some of these impressions are lost on me...but I could listen to these two all day. You can see how good at improvisation they are, and how much they respect one another.
I agree, Caine both were great. Both were also not good with Sean Connery. Rob's small man in a box is great, and this is old, its even better now. Steve's Arnold isn't good, Rob's is.
@@philthyw is it fuck! The guy is a narcissist. I've never watched anything with him in until i viewed this and i spotted it instantly. Sure you may say how the hell would you know that then if you just first saw him? Well i have met at least 3 in my life and i've studied them. I study people, i can't help it but everybody i meet i have a habbit of doing so. He gets away with his behaviour via the 'it's only comedy' excuse, but when you know - you know! I googled him after i watched this, 4th thing i saw on that page within seconds? It was his girlfriend dumping him in public because he was a jealous narcissist! The way she described him after reading her reasons was exactly like a guy i had to suffer at work! Believe me, vile people!
Love the people saying Steve comes across as arrogant and rude to rob completely missing the fact they’re playing dramatised versions of themselves 🤣🤣🤣
I’m 25 but I watched this show when it came out and even as a 13 year old I was captivated by the characterisation of them both and how it inflects on the real people behind them. Casting Steve as the more successful of the pair but having delusions of grandeur, while Rob seems content as the less successful but more adored of the two, is genius
6:10 "You are doing it like it's funny, like a Carry On film where they murder a 15-year-old girl." :) How Rob manages to keep a straight face even after Steve bursts into laughter I will never know. This is one of the most bizarre and brilliant lines I have even heard uttered by anyone ever - if it was improvised by Steve on the spot then he is even more of a legend than I have so far believed. :)
A Whether Moments Poet Hate to disabuse you of that notion but I think you've probably seen a small selection of what we get over here. Shows like this get tiny ratings and the stuff in prime time that gets big numbers is precisely "blatantly obvious and childlike".

@@m-arky9864 definitely.!! And all the places and sights you saw on their travels. I really hope they do at least 1 more series maybe new Zealand or New York etc.. Xx
These "Trip" films are endlessly delightful. I love that they inject some underlying narratives to flesh out these "characters" but the true joy of them is watching two friends and colleagues duke it out in the realm of impersonation (which Coogan continues to arrogantly insist that he is the greater artist)
Sean Connery bit at the start killed me. Brydon: “I have more fucking depth than you do” and “you talk through your mouth like you’re having a stroke” *stroke face*
Two elements about Coogan make his impressions so accurate is that his diction and pronunciation is so clear and concise in general. He speaks so bloody well. It is a key ingredient.
I love Steve's Les Dawson impresson XD! I loved 8:13 where they were taking the piss out of the "Just a Minute" game show. XD The Steptoe and son impressions were amazing! Especially Steve's! 11:58 - Ronnie Corbett in Stereo..epicness.
KING Koogan is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT on his voices AND faces; Mr Bryson is also EXCELLENT and "more" entertaining.(?) A REAL honour to watch this simply brilliant and unique DUO, as they both analyse/ad-lib and BRUTALLY master-debate each other along their journey. Such great fun to watch.
Every once in awhile I look away and there's such a good impression that doesn't sound like either of them, and I look back, and it's Steve Coogan every time.
Need to watch this again. Beautiful portrayal of the tension in what's meaningful in life- work or relationships. Coogan's (character's) ambition vs Brydon's happier, less ambitious character.
I would love to know how close this is to real life. Fantastic actors and the director (MW) at the height of their powers . The Christopher Lee impression is a joy.
This is one of the most passive aggressive conversations I have ever seen in my life. Absolutely love Bryden and Coogan

Steve Coogan has brought joy and laughter to my life more than any other. He is a genius and deserves to be recognised for his sublime work.
I only recently saw the clip of the Partridge show with the IRA songs and have been watching on repeat. I concur, man is a genius
Amen
And a brilliant actor!

How to shut up Steve Coogan in 3 words.

You should watch the film they made together when they drove through Italy. Brydon does a great 'man in a box' while they're in Pompeii.

You'll have a heart attack when you discover ventriloquism.

'I have more fucking depth than you do'.

Well, I don't care. Go if you want.
That Wilfred Brambles is so accurate.

These two are a great double act. It's also noted that there are moments when Steve Coogan breaks up with laughter at Robs impersonations.
“You’ve memorised that, haven’t ya? Wow we. That’s locked in” - With regards to the bad review. Absolutely hilarious 😂
