Alan Partridge........

[scifisam]

I basically had a whole fling with someone just cos we had a mutual appreciation of Alan Partridge

After our first date I sent my now-GF a link to that Alan Partridge audiobook. She arrived at the second date laughing out loud at it on her headphones. It was definitely a sign of good things to come.

Funnily enough I generally loathe cringe humour, but Partridge never quite crosses the line, for me.

He’s cringy but I don’t think it’s cringe humour. I think that true cringe humour relies on the character being hugely embarrassed by events. Alan himself is never embarrassed by what he does — he revels in it. We laugh at his lack of self-awareness, not the opposite.

Jurassic Park

 

[Elpenor]

It still doesn’t work for me as a format.

 

[Jay Park]

Wanted to show my B.H. where I'd first fell in love with Felicity Montagu cos watching Bridget Jones.

Found this

Alan doesn't seem to have a friend in the world and even his family dont like him
Its why him alone in the DJ booth is perfection
Other than Lynn of course.
And Maybe Bill Oddie

Did it involve chocolate mousse?

As someone who has, for many years, been 'pro-Alan', I have to say that I like this new series.

A little bit surprised at the use of the word 'fanny' on prime time television. A bit unprofessional, that. And unexpected from a presenter at the top of their game.

Otherwise, towering. TV Quick are welcome to quote me.

Do you not remember the TV chef from Knowing Me Knowing Yule? I wish I could find a clip of that.

I love that one... it misses though the beautiful "...it really is" on the end.

Lynn, Lynn, they're sex people....

Or

"How do you relax?........I don't mean poppers!" to the ex-Milky Bar Kid

 

[purves grundy]

Just caught the tail end of the latest trailer this evening - was that Joe Beasley and Cheeky Monkey??!

Their appearance on the final KMKY was my last ‘can’t breathe for laughing’ moment. Nearly 30 years. I’m due another.

Telegraph too stuffy for Alan. The Mail reader has a T-shirt with 'Crowded House' printed on the front of it

 

[Elpenor]

I worry how much my music taste overlaps with Alan. I haven’t got Directors Bitter coming out of my taps though... not yet anyway

She went for the PVC composite replacement hip, but Alan is pro Titanium. Lasts for years.

He's got a thing about fannies and fanny hair. It has never been explained.
