Alan Partridge

[Clarky cat]

Anybody seen Stratagem yet? Is it worth a watch?

I love Steve Coogan and Alan Partridge, ever since his inception (listening to “on the hour” which then became one of the best tv shows I’ve ever seen in “the day today”) right the way through to his new tv show. I had to turn Strategem off after 15 minutes.

Absolutely really - cringeworthy and unfunny, repeating shouting a name in every sketch, peak commedy that.

One of the middest UK comedians, and there's a reason why he's not hugely popular outside the boomers in the UK.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯​

I… I’m not sure you know what a boomer is

I'm sure I know, it's still boomer humour.

Are you sure you're referring to the Alan Partridge character because he's never done a sketch show?

Boomer humour at its finest.

I'm 100% sure that his comedy shows, which involve comedy bits acted out as sketches, you absolute pedant, are MID.

No they don't. He's done sitcoms, and a spoof news show, couple of different spoof chat shows, a spoof internet radio show, and a feature length film.

You might be thinking of Russ Abbot.

Okay mate, good one, he's not done sketches then.

Ah righto then.

You being a pedant won't make the Partridge character (or Coogan) funny magically.

And no, I'm thinkin of Partridge, I've sadly watched a lot of his things because people (mainly) on here hyped it. Time literally wasted.

You don't like Alan Partridge mate. Then why are you here then?

 

[slipstream86]

It's sad that AP's newer stuff doesn't get the love he once did....but I suppose it's kind of befitting with the tragic character that we know and love. Still waiting for him to make his big comeback with Inner City Sumo and Monkey Tennis.

Just cos you don't like the same comedy you can't go round accusing people of that.

The father-in-law randomly out this on a few nights ago when we called in and it was turned of in under 10 minutes.

Have never got the whole Alan Partridge thing. I haven't tried so maybe haven't gave it much of a chance but most clips i have seen i just don't get it.
