@@blairosh_ You're nitpicking

Use the sausage as a breakwater.

God that’s good. Can I shake your hand?

Just don't tell Gary Rhodes

Lol is that a fat back joke? Bravo sir.

@@FiveSigma72 not quite, although that is a ruddy good reference you've made. The joke I was making (if you can call it a joke) is referencing his book I, Partridge, in which he celebrates a potential new TV project by driving to Delia Smith's house, shouting "oh Delia, guess who's back in the big time" and driving off. By the time he gets to Richard Bacon's house, he accidentally gets his words mixed up and shouts "guess who's big in the back time." It's essentially a less funny version of when he says "surely that's the worth of boast worlds".

Ahhh classic from his Cook Pass Babtridge days! 😂

I don't understand the reference. Who is that?

@@richardboland1935 you don’t know who Piers Morgan is?

@@jamesturrall7418 should I? 🤔

@@richardboland1935 I can only presume you're not British?

Mythical indeed

I reckon some of this is aimed at Steve's co-performers from his Spitting Image days (even though that was ITV).

It was both.

I do agree. It was very funny but it did veer slightly too far into Coogan territory at points.

@@SongBillong Agreed. Using Partridge as a bit of a vehicle for Coogan's politics which kind of goes against everything partridge is.

bro who cares

@@ruthmilligan3437 For them to be funny, it's important that comedy characters are consistent and convincing. That's hardly a controversial opinion! Comedy characters can evolve over time (Partridge being a perfect example of that) but this little skit wasn't entirely accurate to Alan's character; he's not that self-aware (e.g. the bit about Downton and Daily Mail readers). I'm not too arsed about this as it's only an acceptance speech (and it is still funny) but it'd be a shame if Coogan's views (which I have no issue with) seeped into future Partridge series too much.

Although you'd probably say, needles.

🤣

This isn't satire.

@tynebar it is.

Jonny Franks who lives in the flats in Bow? I know him

@@SongBillong 😳

Despite the fact that's been present in many of his shows.

Knowing me knowing you I'm Alan partridge both had an audience...so what are you on about lol

@@emuman09 yeah I know - I think I'm just too used to the later stuff like Scissored Isle, From the Oasthouse, Mid Morning Matters, Nomad, Alpha Papa etc

@Lee 😂

I said who da hell is dat… you keep saying it

Is that you, High Noon?

Yeah the live show was really disappointing. It had a few great moments but that's it.

@@paulrouhan7288 I think you're my best friend.

@@paulrouhan7288 I always assumed that High Noon was B.Odie

Ah haaaa

SMELL MY CHEESE YOU MOTHER!!!!

That's bollocks but go on

High Noon, you're trying too hard.

The only way he gets laughs? He's on tour with this character and selling out venues ffs

'The people who don't get Alan Partridge still won't get it... Now clear off back to your council houses...'

Everyone's entitled to their opinions but Alan Partridge is one of the most successful comedy characters of all time, so Coogan is clearly doing something right

Not everyone understands satire. You have to have a certain level of understanding of pop culture, politics, and general world affairs to be able to comprehend the references, and a sense of irony to understand the humor. It's not for everyone as you so boisterously demonstrate. But that's ok. You're providing, no doubt, mildly relevant perspective to someone who cares, and endless volumes of material for smart satirists like Steve Coogan. Carry on!
