    That’s just not true. But then Alan has always been entertaining in his disastrous yet absolutely human behavior. He’s a stain that I can’t help but enjoy and the experiment of his character in his sprawling narrative as an unrepentant c**t has a secondary repeat viewing/listening factor to it. I know Coogan is either a nonce or a fan of the nonce, but Alan Partridge is a lasting creation that will both hate and love in equal measure until it is finally revealed Coogan was in fact a nonce. Then I’ll probably just see a third angle to the whole thing and still appreciate it.

    I get the feeling he's not acting that hard and it makes me hate him. Like if his worst enemy had to represent him in a movie hed just make more Alan partridge. He gives of Seinfeld energy to me. He's got a Canadian sort of vibe. Not full autist but smug and socially moronic and thinks he's better than you and he is but like not enough to justify his smugness. I find the man deeply unlikeable and will not look up anything more about him. Caught his movie on YouTube as background noise and it was average as frick.

        Two things
        >"neither" means "not either," so you should say "Neither of those is funny," not "are."
        Second, you're just plain wrong. Toast has plenty of laughs, and frankly you'd be daft to deny that.
        If you don't like it, well that's a different thing, and fair enough. It's not for everyone.

          No, the last guy is correct. Toast is the worst shit ever. It represented the point where British comedy became shameful reddit garbage.

        Rob does seem like a colossal twat but I only know him from that film I posted a clip of and it made me chuckle when hung over years back. Coogan I couldnt give a frick about but yeah, used to listen to Alan Partidge in the dads car so...

    Don't care for nonces. Cheeky shit from the BBC as well casting a nonce to play a nonce. But they will cast Black folk to play white people. Big think.

    it's not that Americans don't get him.
    It's just that he's not fricking funny. You limey fricks are lucky you have Rowan Atkinson and Jeremy Clarkson. You better pray they live forever or you might as well get bombed to hell
