The brilliance of this character is that you could ask 10 people to do 10 such compilations and they would all have differerent excerpts from different shows.... DAN ! DAN ! DAN ! DAN ! DAN ! DAN ! DAN ! DAN ! .......................DAN ! DAN ! DAN ! DAN !
It speaks to the comedic genius and sensibility of Steve, Armando, Chris Morris, Peter Baynham, the Gibbons brothers and Lord knows who else (let's stick Rich and Stew in just because) that Alan as a character has never been anything other than brilliant. There has not been a false move. Think of the number of notable characters, characters that have achieved cult-like status in their day (in the UK alone, a lot of the Little Britain & Catherine Tate characters and Brent spring to mind). Saturation and catchphrases killed most of them and if they do make a charity cameo etc. the applause is nostalgic. Even Gervais, who is lauded for changing the landscape, has now effectively neutered Brent. Since On the Hour, so many have come and gone. It's a testament to the genius of the people behind Alan as a comic creation that they hit the perfect note every time. It's even more laudable when you consider that Alan has a catchphrase too, but he's been so well written, drawn and performed that even his catchphrase, such as it is, is never bludgeoned into the audience, is obviously a serious part of Alan, not some lazy attempt at bleeding an audience for a laugh... and forms such a tiny part of his character that it could disappear and nobody would really know, let alone care. He's one of the best comic creations the English speaking world has produced. So yeah, I like him.
as a felow macabre shitzo... i understand the grimace on his face when looking at the sheep and twaddling his bollcks but his infirmary of hate is ok and may his soul lay down at peace with the sheep and all the other nice chaps
We featured a classic story on our podcast that Richard Madeley wrote - it honestly could have been written by Alan Partridge himself! lol - a must watch: th-cam.com/video/OWodWK6ysjQ/w-d-xo.html
type in "quantum of alan"
thank me later.
you people!
Thanks for providing the link. th-cam.com/video/fmty5ad6lLY/w-d-xo.html
@Fez Man
A lot of the time YT hides links in the comments because they thinks it’s spam. No need to be sarcy.
I'll have a look now
pure genius. "maybe it's because Im a Partridge. Alan Partridge"
"It's the best book I've ever written and one of the best books I've ever read."
"..They're just various builders..." gets me every time that line
The Partridge audiobooks on YT are amazing. Listen to them when I can’t sleep
I have done that too but I don't fall asleep 😂
Mid morning matters makes me rofl my socks off.
“This wine tastes of Chewits"
If I watch this compilation in one sitting I want it to be MY decision...I'll watch another video as a breakwater!
WHAT IS ALAN FIRING HIS FRIEND'S AIR RIFLE INTO?
"erm... The future?"
"Are you on an E??"
"You weren't put in to a sports camp and trained in to a tennis machine?" That's made my day.
"I can't pretend that that doesn't hurt" such an underrated line
These clips are so old now they almost qualify as antiques
Every time I end up with a small paper bag now I just can't stop myself from spinning it around by the corners and saying "twizzle that"
"someone should clean up these leaves"
"Not my arse, NOT MY ARSE"
Alan Partridge is great
im such a fan of Alan Partridge that i named my first born after him, she's not very happy about it though
Partridge is the name of the musical TV family from the 70s. Nobody knows what happened to the original drummer, Jeremy Gelbwaks. He was very ugly.
Nice compilation, very nice. Quality.
Hahahahahahaha. "I was going to play London Calling by The Clash, but it's bloody awful." Very true Alan.

I like this guy. He has a nice action. Very nice.
I have felt like absolute shit alday. this made me feel a bit better thanks!
Gets me every time' gets me every time Har har! I like the bit where he.........no, its gone.
They're just.... various builders.
You have good taste in Partridge.
Norfol...North Norfolks Best Compilation. This is Toto with Africa!
Some really niche choices! Great compilation!
"Norfolk's - North Norfolk's best music mix."
"Squeeze into Kate's bush" I lol'd

Nx Doyle good answer. agreed
Just don't watch Stratagem. whew.
Someone should clean up these leaves - LMFAO
Lovely stuff.
I can't believe none of the Best of Partridge compilations I've found has the bit with the cow from Watership Alan. :p
OOH Lynn I've pierced me foot on a SPAIKE
You go easy there muh love.
Every one of these clips hits the 'back of the net'.
But you're playing tennis
@@zapkvr
It took you five years to return my serve. 😯
The blurb in the description and at the beginning had me laughing already. Jurassic Park!
"... could be sroat canceur!"
5:32
This is the Partridge I keep coming back for.
"This wine...tastes of Chewits!" xD
Your bloody everywhere daisy! 😂😂😂
Or is it YOU'RE everywhere? xD
No it's definitely your
No it's definitely You're ... (You are) ;)
Haha I know your just winding me up daisy!
god thats good. thanks mate.
0-15 seconds. I'm pretty sure they were "inertia-reel" seatbelts. Good action.
Lovely Stuff.
"North Norfolk's Best Compilation" you mean?
Norfolk, North Norfolk's number 3 leader in digital radio for the ages of 45-48 between 1-5am. But enough bragging...here's Soft Cell.
I guess you could say I *Got Lucky* for finding this.
I hope someone gets the joke
That shotgun
it's been said before but still reckon he is the original (office) David Brent lol
I actually really feel sorry for Alan when they pulled his trousers down 😂.
Someone should clean up these leaves
great action
best comedy in world
The scene around 1:55, I don't remember that. Feel like that had a big effect on our man Alan. Some later things probably stem from that humiliation.
Shit, is that Minnie Driver?
where are the ones where he has a beard from ?
could be throat cancer LMFAO
It's a quality action
You weren't put into a SPORTS camp. xD
"You weren't put in a SPORTS CAMP..and trained into a TENNIS MACHINE!" xD
North Norfolk's actually.
Various builders
10 on 10
Nice action
Is that Minnie Driver at 10:29?
+Intiom Yep
+kaneda010 she also appeared on knowing me knowing you
Norfolks best br--north Norfolks best broadcaster.
hahahaha why! does he say 'throat cancer' to the lady hawker in a french accent! brilliant!
Where is the scene at 10.05 from?
Any idea where the full version of the first clip can be found?
Funny x 10000000. Comic genius
God that's good. Which show was the sheep that wronged him clip from?
That was from Welcome To The Places Of My Life. It's a ruddy good watch.
my cousins from Norfolk :p
*North Norfolk’s best compilation
I was particularly good at shifting bananas, some of which were manky.
Think it was for comic relief a few years back
I love English humor
Didnt know Alan was left handed
I'll just talk over you lynn
I'm not driving a minimetro I'm not driving a mini metro I'm not driving a mini metro
BAM! Pepper!
