Possibly the one line that has made me randomly laugh out loud in public, at inopportune moments, more than any other (apart from "Captain, how soon can you land this plane? I can't tell. You can tell me, I'm a doctor. No! I mean I'm just not sure. Well, can't you take a guess? Well... Not for a couple of hours... You can't take a guess for a couple of hours?").
first time I saw this, back in 94, I nearly died laughing at the bikes on top of the car part. First time Partridge came out and it was already legendary
Don't know how anyone can not find this man funny....Alan, either you've had a fight with a fire engine or it's raining its arse off out there" Lovely stuff!!! Absolutely kills me this show does!
Chris' random misanthropic outburst are always hilarious. Coogan is brilliant in this, always surprises me how long Alan has been a character. In fact just watch the whole show, it's fucking awesome.
ough I remember that diving accident, he was lucky in the sense that it didn't kill him or cause lifelong injuries, but obviously unlucky in that it happened at all.
"...bangs his head on the board, innit. Textbook. Lovely." ... "comes down, bangs his head on the board, innit. Lovely!" Nothing makes me laugh like this does.
if you're old enough to remember the diver had hiv iirc (not sure if self aware at time) and all the other athletes freaked and got tested once discovered. and now more partridge cause that's depressing
I quoted verbatim the boxing commentary in a Russian bare knuckle boxing video on RU-vid and after a month a Russian person replied to me in Russian asking ‘we’re they really naked?’
You and me both! We'll have to find a barn in Somerset where we can fight for her love - manno on manno - stripped to the waist as nature intended, as a restive crowd - sweating and groaning - watch on seemingly in a state of sexual ecstasy.
