  • BECAUSE IVE GOT TO!!!!

  • Now let's talk about your show, because I've got too...

  • What are these interview? I've seen all "I'm Alan Partridge" episodes

  • @ComedicTheory KMKYWAP pronounced cumkerwapp !!

  • @ComedicTheory knowing me knowing you, the chat show alan partridge hosted before his radio show :D

  • This NEVER gets old.

  • lets talk about your show because we have to lol

  • Anal Dirge Pratt !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Rebecca Front, with the long hair - what a beautiful woman. Ouch!

  • ROFL.

  • dykes, baldykes, Dick Van Dykes

  • @SmoothMoonWalker

    "Bulldykes"

  • Trout fishers lol

  • tell me about the ladyboys

  • Lesbe-friends, Backpackers, Kwik-Fit Fitters. These are offensive? The names are idiotic, Partridge is the idiot, there's no weight in his words. The clever people in the scene are the lesbians. Also you didn't mention if you read the full article, which you can still do on the Guardian website.

    I'm not condoning close minded people, Coogan is laughing AT them, not with them. I like Top Gear, but the boys' humour is often blunt and xenophobic, and feels a little out of date.

  • So you think the Top Gear guys seriously believe that all Mexicans are lazy and wear ponchos, but Steve Coogan isn't a homophobe. Tell me, what's the difference? Steve Coogan is just being offensive and crude for humour. That's not funny.

    Ironically using stereotypes, now that can be funny. Calling lesbians names, isn't.

  • @duguk Haha, of course it's a parody. Have you actually seen Alan Partridge before now?? Who's he parodying? The likes of Andy Gray, Richard Keys, or in earlier days, Richard Madley, regional broadcasters, pretty much any type of sports commentator. Why is it a parody of them? Because they are generally pretty ignorant. The point about the three bears, who are not comedians (they just drive cars), they didn't use any irony, maybe tongue-in-cheek, supporting prejudice, Coogan is mocking it.

  • @GRJones92hk Of course I've seen Partridge - and Steve Coogan before. Parody is usually humourous, satiric or ironic. Partridge is none of this.

    There's also no mention of Andy Gray (a footballer), Richard Keys (a sports presenter) or Richard Madley (presenter). In fact, the only similarity I can see is that all these people appear on television.

    Ignorance isn't the same as prejudice. Coogan is using dirty words to make you laugh. Mexicans being lazy is ironic typecasting, not this prejudice.

  • @duguk Well, if you don't find it funny, then fair enough. But it doesn't stop the fact that it is a parody. The conception of this character was based on broadcasters, created by satirists - Armando Ianucci, Lee and Herring, Chris Morris. So I'm pretty sure their goal was to create satire. The point of the 'dirty words' is exaggeration - a trope of satire. I don't find the three bears funny, I never have. Their Mexican 'joke' was just not funny, that's the main point.

  • @GRJones92hk Well, if you don't find Top Gear funny, then fair enough. But it doesn't stop the fact that they were parodying typecasting. It's clear that the Top Gear cast aren't racists, so I'm pretty sure their goal was to create satire. The point of the 'dirty words' is to insult and create offensiveness, satire is the use of irony. I don't find Coogan funny, I never have. This homophobic 'joke' was just not funny, that's the main point.

  • Comment removed

  • @GRJones92hk well done, you've learnt what parody is. Maybe you could teach it to Coogan?

    I wasn't offended by Top Gear's joking stereotypical remarks, but I am offended by Partridge being a homophobe. This scene wasn't funny, isn't clever and has no redeeming features other than to offend as many people as possible.

  • Comment removed

  • @GRJones92hk I have every right to be offended by whatever I like. Target is irrelevant to offence.

    I haven't "misread" anything, this is a video.

  • Comment removed

  • @GRJones92hk My problem with Coogan is this, he said: "The Lads have this strange notion that if they are being offensive it bestows on them a kind of anti-establishment aura of coolness".

    This is the same offensiveness that Coogan's been trying for years, and failing to be funny with it.

    Since Coogan's brother used to be a presenter for Top Gear, and that Top Gear has 130 million views (and managed more than 12 episodes), - I'm sticking with jealousy.

  • @duguk I don't care what your problem is! But you clearly have one.

  • @GRJones92hk Yes, my problem is with Coogan being offensive, homophobic and hypocritical of the Top Gear team, when his "humour" is simply more offensive, and less intelligent.

  • @duguk I think it's more that you are a bore who can't grasp satire (don't let's go through the explanation again) - when you've read some Swift, Goldsmith, Dickens, Vonnegut, or anyone with any merit other than the three bears, you could grasp that ... as it stands you are just missing the point, by miles.

  • Comment removed

  • @GRJones92hk Did you give up trying to speak to @duguk too? It's like banging your head up a brick wall whilst the wall is moaning about never been banged. Right I'm off to buy a cat and call it Hitler.

  • @foxbaker I don't know why I bothered in the first place. Cat-tastic!

  • @duguk dont be a prick,this is A CHARACTER

  • @chrisjoneschrisjones why does it make any difference that he's a character?

    If Hitler was a cat, would be ok for him to kill the Jews?

  • @duguk no it woludnt be ok but if he was just acting that would be different

  • @chrisjoneschrisjones so if Hitler the cat was only acting when he'skilling millions, you wouldn't have a problem with that?

  • @duguk If Hitler the cat was killing millions and acting at the same time i would;

    A. Be very freaked out indeed

    B. Try to stop him and get him tried for murder/mass murder/genocide

  • Comment removed

  • @GRJones92hk 350 million viewers worldwide disagree with you.

  • Comment removed

  • @GRJones92hk Entirely your choice, but I am still offended by Coogan being a homophobe, and the majority of the world thinks you're wrong about Top Gear.

  • The 17 people who disliked got bogged-down in a gay hornets' nest.

  • Good to see Steve Coogan is never ''offensive and stereotypical'' about anyone, unlike Clarkson. What a bloody hypocrite!

  • @duguk If this is in reference to his recent article, he explains quite clearly about the fact that, Alan is a character and if you take what he says seriously you're missing the point. In this scene we are laughing at the close minded, bigoted attitude of Partridge, Steve himself is in no way condoning sexism, in fact quite the opposite.

  • @foxbaker Thats idiotic on two grounds; that it's presuming that Clarkson and co were serious - but moreso, implies that Coogan is fine with racism and offensive jokes if you pretend to be someone else. Tell me honestly you're laughing at how awful a person Coogan is being here - and not that he's just calling lesbians offensive names.

  • @duguk Whether the three bears from Top Gear were serious or not, what they said was boring. This is satire, you know, like Jonathan Swift, Peter Cook, Stewart Lee - talented people - comedy that had some thought put into it. The three bears spend too much time being smug to write subtle, nuanced jokes.

  • @GRJones92hk "Lesbe-friends, Backpackers, Kwik-Fit Fitters." OH YES! Now I see Coogan's subtle, nuanced jokes! Of course! I didn't see it before! /sarcasm

    No, this is just offensive.

  • @duguk Haha, come along now. This is a character, not Steve Coogan. And who is the character ... ? Alan Partridge. Where does the humour come from in Partridge ... ? His ignorance. I don't want to insult your ignorance, but this is parody.

  • Comment removed

  • It's such a bad talk show .- are all talk shows in england this bad?

  • @FunnyLittleChap

    It's a comedy, not a genuine 'talk show'. The character Alan Partridge is the creation of Steve Coogan, who is a comedy genius.

  • @WilliamGruff  Oh right.

  • @FunnyLittleChap hahaha! really you'd think this is serious?

  • Stangley Looks a little bit like Vernan Kaye in this.

  • Cool

  • The evolution of Partridge from the Day Today to his present form is amazing. He has improved with time and has perfected the character totally now - check out the shows on youtube made speacially for youtube - they are amazing.

  • Im laughing so hard its stimulated my cough!!!

  • Dark UK Sketch comedy with a hint of mint! Please check us out and let us know what you think!

  • Don't want to get bogged down in a whole gay hornets nest , but how can you not like this? comedy genius. AHA 

  • 17 dislikes = Dykes?

  • You can also have CARPET MUNCHERS - DICK VANS - BIFTA`S - HEARING AID WEARERS - BRIGHTON BELLES and many many more!

  • @darrowby1972 Not at all sure why I am asking but why Hearing Aid Wearers...??

  • @Rachiejane1 - odd but true fact.... many totally deaf females either are or choose to become either lesbian or bi-sexual.

  • @darrowby1972 That is quite mental! I will take your word for it (as I have no time to look it up). Learn something new every day...!

  • @darrowby1972

    Lol....mad head.

  • @darrowby1972 How about rug munchers, stench trenchers, pea flickers, tongue-in-groove merchants and having a whiff of Billingsgate Fish Market :-)

  • @starryian007 hahaaha

  • Stamp lickers

  • rug muncher

  • left luggage, fucking hell!

  • Americans are very funny i think but more in the pasted than now

  • @edwards21416 What the heck has this got to do with Americans? Absolutely nothing!

  • i can never work out if he is trying to say something about people that use that kind of langauge like alf garnet ,he was supposed to be sending him up and showing what a bigot he was but i thought he was right saying those things and alf because someone i would cheer on ,i suppose you could say it kind of back fired on the producers

  • the funniest list of words-for-lesbians ever

  • @Seagerash les-be-friends!

  • Alan Partridge is the Chevy Chase of the UK

  • anal durgpratt... haha what classic writing.. miss you alan....

  • dick van dykes hahaha

  • the english are funnier....

  • @ferret630 Yes I know!!! I friggin LUV Britcoms.

  • Les-be friends.

  • I used to be a baggage handler!

  • No we didn't think 'em all up...

    lezzers and dykes: can't take credit for those ;)

  • It should be made British law that Steve Coogan be forced to forsake his own personality and be Alan Partridge. Followed around by camera's at all times and the footage be streamed online live for all too see. Available 24/7.

  • @TJmoneymaker13 ha ha classic

  • A naturally charming and quick-witted character.

  • SUNK!

  • Media friendly soundbite! LOL

  • All the people who make these videos forums for anti american and british comments a) fuck off and b) stop trying to compensate for your own personal inadequacies and hang ups. If you're one of them, then yes, you have issues friend, get some help.

  • @Tonedefdom You know what - yours is the only "grown-up " comment on this first page....Sad really..

  • He missed out "Rug Munchers"!

  • Lesbifriends haha!

  • men as one of the names haha!

  • why do all of these videos turn into an argument over UK vs. USA

    different cultures breed different types of humour, i'm sure the #1 ethiopian comic would be hated by all of us

  • @macarion Why would the ethiopian comic be hated by the US? If the comic is funny then why not like him. The problem is the definition of funny. If the comic can do a show about toilet humor, knock-knock jokes and racist satire then we'll LOVE IT. If the show on the other hand is a humorous yet thoughtful and intelligent recount of foreign affairs, or random intellectual yet trivial information (such as the shows Mock the Week and QI) then most Americans' brains will explode.

  • its strange that the qualitys brilliant but the sound is awful

  • Yes. British humour is better. But my favourite comedy show is How I Met Your Mother. That's on a different level.

  • While I agree that overall the British put out superior comedies but the Americans do have their gems too. Curb Your Enthusiasm is one of the funniest shows of all time. But the yanks are also leaps and bounds ahead of the British as far as drama goes. With shows like The Wire, The Sopranos, Breaking Bad and LOST, Britain really can't compete.

  • @Souza98

    i think its funny that you mentioned the wire seeing as a lot of the actors are actually from the UK and Ireland, and i dont mean American Irish like properly irish

  • Lovely, soothing Irish lilt from Rebecca there.

  • WELL DONE REBECCA FRONT FOR YOUR AWARD SUNDAY NIGHT

  • Sounds like canned laughter which is strange as they recorded before a live audience.

  • I'm American and I can admit British shows are much more funny than most of the ones we make today.

  • "Are you a porn legend?" "Well my boyfriend thinks so"

    hahahahaha

  • Id rather watch reruns of Black Adder than crappy American garbage. Black Adder >> All American "comedies" put together

  • gay hornets nest

  • i think the best part of this scene was right at the start..''

    2 ladies, diddly did dee dee, 2 ladies diddly did dee dee,2 ladies and im the only man , its 2 for one bab da bomb''

    class scene still though

  • AHA!

  • Comment removed

  • I love gay Entruscan earthernware.

  • Lezzers and dykes - can't take the credit for those!

  • Baggage handlers? :-D

  • "Now let's talk about your show ... because I've got to"

    LMFO

  • at people woh replied to Heelfan1234

    He's joking, dont you get it? -_-

  • @DOO1 yeah, it's hilarious, faggot.

    See, it's really not so funny being offensive and using rude words is it? Coogan is a failure.

  • is it me, or does Alan Partridge look like a young Gary Linekar? This is funny as hell btw, Lez-be-friends hahahaha!

  • spare rib ticklers

  • What's nearly as funny as Alan Partridge is heelfan1234 who not only thinks this is a real chat show, but used Leno and Kimmel to describe 'quality chat shows.'

    And for the record, dipshit, Michael Parkinson and Clive James are probably the best chat shows hosts on the planet. Leno, Conan, Kimmel etc can only dream of their success in "quality chat shows"...

    [Notice I left out Letterman because love him or hate him, that dude is an old-school class act - just like Parki'...

  • well im neither british or american but id rate british entertainment and humor over american anyday

  • yea it is just me, i was just offering my opinion, but also... just because hollywood makes more money dosnt mean its better. Look at the pop charts, some of the worst "musicians" in the world are at the top of the pops, making alot more money than people who make much much better music, do you agree?

  • andrewm:

    Just because something sells in large quantities doesn't make it any good. Are you trying to convice us that most of the stuff Hollywood produces ISN'T a pile of shit?

  • @andrewm153351

    Are you kidding? Hollywood doesnt make good movies. It makes millions of dollas worth of pure crap. All those pathetic zombie/vampire/pirate/horror/ god, just so much fake computer bullshit.

    AGAIN, english films made with almost no budget come out BETTER than 100% of hollywood shit cos english films have real meaning and a real story line, no spider man shit. It's the story that makes a good film, not the special effects. Hollywood gets laughed at!!!! Moron! Antoher dumb yank

  • @LIP15

    Funny how we have more Top grossing movies than what england has.

    Oh, and trust me, england puts out some shit too.

    Hollywood CONTROLS the entertainment industry of the world. Case closed.

    Just like we have better universities, just like we're richer, just like we have a more powerful military.

    Just face it, the u.s. is superior to britain in every way imaginable.

  • @andrewm153351 L.m.f.a.o

  • @Blacknarcissa

    ??? explain

  • @andrewm153351 How refreshing,yet another yank up their own ass.

  • @andrewm153351

    just like american has a higher murder rate, higher unemployement rate, high teen pregnancy, high obesity,shit pop and rap music and not to mention your shit sports only the USA play US football, baseball, and basketball.

  • Sure, the u.s. has a higher murder rate, but the uk has an overall higher crime rate. The u.s. isn't even in the top 10 countries with highest reported crime. The uk is.

    lol many countries play basketball and baseball you idiot. we are just the reigning champs.

    And the uk has a pretty high obesity rate as well so thats kind of like the pot calling the kettle black.

    Our rap and pop is shit? LOL then WHY is our music so much more recognized all around the world? who cares about british music?

  • @andrewm153351

    i remember arguing with you like 6months ago, same situation you came onto a video moaning about the British, are you really that jealous of us? uk isn't in the top 10 you idiot, no countries play baseball and very few actually play basketball and if they do it isn't big. best selling band in america is british. how about you grow up and get a job?

  • @JoshRobertson142

    haha epic failure. Here is the list for the top ten countries with highest reported crime rates. Make sure to delete the spaces after the periods.

    mapsofworld. com/world-top-ten/countries-wi­th-highest-reported-crime-rate­s. html

    And funny how no one plays basketball yet its in the fucking OLYMPICS.

    And funny how no one plays baseball yet there's a WORLD BASEBALL CUP.

    hahaha you fail at life.

    why would i be jealous of the uk? the u.s. is superior in every way

  • @andrewm153351

    lol tell me about the "world baseball cup" yes baseball is in the olympics nobody takes it seriously.

  • @andrewm153351 Have you ever visited the UK? I've visited the US 5 times, it's a great country to visit but I wouldn't like to live there. Both our countries have much in common, but there are differences. The UK is far more socially liberal and nobody in the UK believes that the earth is less than 10 thousand years old.

  • @raithrover1976

    uh yeah there are definitely people in the uk who believe the earth is only 6000 years old, because you have to believe that to be christian, and there ARE christians in the uk

  • @andrewm153351

    there are far more people in America who believes the earth is 6000years old. christians make up 85-90% of your population, it's around 50% in Britain and many of them don't doubt evolution.

  • @andrewm153351

    2questions.

    how much have you spent on your guns?

    have you ever had to use them?

    and i mean actually needed to use them, not going out shooting in the forest with your hillbilly mates.

  • The best selling album of 2009 in the u.s. was talyor swift who is American.

    The best selling album of 2008 in the u.s. was lil wayne who is American

    The best selling album of 2007 in the u.s. was josh groben who is American

    The best selling album of 2006 in the u.s. was High school musical-American

    The best selling album of 2005 in the u.s. was mariah carey who is American

    The best selling album of 2004 in the u.s. was usher who is American

    All of these artists sell more than any uk artist

  • @andrewm153351

    lol usher, lil wayne and taylor swift wow you americans have great music! best selling artist ever in america is British, look it up. 200million records sold in America alone the beatles.

  • lol the beatles....what a joke. how long ago was that? if you want to bring shit like that up, the biggest album EVER sold was Thriller which sold 110 million copies.

    That was just ONE album. Thats more than the 1st and 2nd best selling uk albums COMBINED.

    And i didn't say baseball was in the olympics, i said BASKETBALL.

    And funny how there is both FIBA AND basketball in the olympics.

    Yet no one cares? LOLOLOL

    And we have a higher murder rate because we have something called GUN RIGHTS

  • @andrewm153351

    wtf you say how long was the beatles, then bring up thrilller? ha that was 30years ago. yeah you have gun rights, you have the right to own a weapon that has no other purpose but to kill. says a lot about your country.

  • @JoshRobertson142

    Exactly, if you knew how to read, you would have noticed that i said "if you want to bring shit like that up(beatles)" before bringing up thriller.

    And still, the fact that one of our artists released an album that sold more than the

    1st and 2nd best selling uk albums is just ridiculously insane.

    And we have gun rights because we aren't little sheep for our government like you brits are. We have a right to raise a militia and you brits don't have that right.

  • @andrewm153351

    thriller sold so much when he died, i imagine when the last member of the beatles dies the same will happen. In britian i could get a gun i would just have to get a lisence, how many murders form guns in US each year? 10,000. Britain 70.

  • @JoshRobertson142

    lol you clearly don't know what you are talking about. The only guns licensed to british people are semi automatic rifles and shotguns. Fully automatic weapons and pistols are not allowed with private ownership.

    What kind of militia are you going to raise with shotguns and semi auto rifles? LOLOLOL

    And plus, there are 90 guns for every 100 Americans. There are only 5 guns for every 100 british people. And all of them are shotguns and semi rifles.

  • @JoshRobertson142

    No no no. Thriller was the highest grossing album even before he died. Stop making fucking excuses.

  • @andrewm153351

    i know it was, but it still sold tons more after he died.

  • @JoshRobertson142

    so thats all you can say? thats your only excuse? thats not even an excuse.

    And you totally disregarded the part where i said the u.s. has rights to PISTOLS and FULLY AUTOMATIC rifles even up to .50 cal. and britain doesn't.

    Also, there are 90 guns for every 100 Americans in the u.s. while there are only 5 for every 100 british people in the uk.

    LOLOLOLOL

  • @andrewm153351

    yeah there are less guns in Britain, thats a good thing. what do you need a pistol for exactly?

  • @JoshRobertson142

    Do you know what a militia IS???

    We aren't little sheep that HAVE to listen to our government.

    If the time comes, we have the RIGHT to gather a militia and fight our government.

    OR if we are invaded, we have the right to raise a militia and fight them off.

    Now how are you going to do this with shotguns and hunting rifles?

    Im going to sleep

  • @andrewm153351

    lol you don't have a right to fight your government, you have the right to protest thats it. and what time is it in America? go to bed lol

  • @JoshRobertson142

    haha you fail. Yes, in the constitution we have the right to bear arms and form a militia to fight over any tyranny that becomes of our government. Don't talk about shit you don't know.

    You on the other hand have to listen to everything your master says. You also have very very high tax rates.

  • @andrewm153351

    we have high taxes because we have the NHS, a national health service, seeing is how you don't have a job how to you pay for your health service? we don't hve to worry about that in Britain. And so what you can form a "militia"\/ over the last 100years how many times have anybody in America used that law?

  • @JoshRobertson142

    First of all, there are hundreds of militias all throughout the u.s. We haven't used them to fight our government because the time hasn't arise.

    And no, you have low quality healthcare for everyone, and we have dirt cheap health care for the poor. The only ones who don't get healthcare is the middleclass. They have to pay for their healthcare, but poor people get it dirt cheap. Funny how you didn't hear THAT from michael moore.

  • @andrewm153351

    "there are hundreds of militias all throughout the u.s."

    let me guess your one of the jobless idiots thats in them? we get a good quality healthcare i should know, i live here and have used it before. and i don't know who michael moore is.

  • haha what a joke. First of all, you don't get as good of healthcare as premium healthcare patients do in the u.s. Thats cause all of you get the same healthcare.

    Second of all, sure you don't know who michael moore is....your just so hip and ironic....

    Third of all, i don't belong to any militias but i do own several firearms, something that you can't do.

    You see, we are actually allowed to WALK AROUND with guns on us for protection with a concealed handgun license

    im going to sleep

  • @andrewm153351

    michael moore is a american filmaker, why would i know who he is? lol you own weapons good for you, i don't want to own a weapon, and if i need protection i could get a gun, who cares if it's not a semi automatic or whatever. a gun's a gun. we in Britain get very few murders, and very very few fatal shootings so why would i need a gun? funny how not once have you disagreed that your jobless.

  • @JoshRobertson142

    jobless? lol the unemployment rate is just about the same in the uk you fucking moron.

    Also, you brits can't CARRY a handgun like we can over here. You can have a useless non automatic at your house, but you can't have a carry license like we can over here.

  • @andrewm153351

    UK unemployment rate is 7.8, US 9.5 so nearly 2% higher. "you brits can't CARRY a handgun like we can over here" LMAO, very few people actually want to own guns here, and here's the best part, need to own a gun.

  • @andrewm153351 mybe thats why so manny of you lot get shot dead every day then?

  • @andrewm153351 fookin toss rod.

  • @andrewm153351

    UK is only just higher than US on crime, but you have 3x the murder rate. i've got a link but you've got a friend lock on wtf, don't like getting messages do we?

  • @andrewm153351 the amount that an artist sells in one year is completely irrelevant to talent, The Beatles (English) are still among the top grossing artists ever in America and UK, what counts is how music lasts over decades and centuries... By your logic Van Gogh was a rubbish painter because he didnt sell much during his life

  • @andrewm153351 Do all Americans behave like big-headed, arrogant arse holes?

  • you're wrong theyre im afraid

  • Melon Farmers,lol.

  • im, trying to think of an anagram of glen ponder.....

    porn legend?

    i dunno glen, are you a porn legend?

    well my boyfriend hinks so....

    ROFL
