Steve Coogan on Alan Partridge, The Trip and his most iconic TV moments | British GQ - บันเทิง
Check out the full interview: www.gq-magazine.co.uk/culture/article/steve-coogan-characters
British GQ The funniest part in his career was when he endorsed labour over two elections, He was detrimental to the causes of. Didn’t he also get off of a driving ban because he is a celebrity and said it would affect his work? What revolting double standards
AH little ottle museum
who is that COOGAN imitator ?? SEAN from the dancing show
@@thegentleman4873 As Alan Partridge would say... "You're talking out of your arse!"
Which sicko decided to mirror flip the footage? Coogan looks weird af. Hate when people do that.
"And another!" is one of my favourite comedy lines ever
Eat my goal!
Comedy genius
He's got a foot like a traction engine
👍 Proof, if proof be need be...
An Dlí Dearmadta “kiss my face!”
I take a sort of weird comfort from Steve still laughing at Alan Partridge in real life. I used to have this horrible feeling he resented the character as it's all he's remembered for - which is how he portrays it on The Trip
Nah. He seemed to at one point, but since the Gibbon bros have been on board he's been very enthusiastic.
It's because Coogan has a bigger ego than Alan Partridge.. He hates that a daily mail 'racist' can be more popular than his own trueself , because he's truly is such an awful human being.
@@adonisnetworks Coogan certainly has a big ego, but he still very self-aware for a celebrity (watch The Trip and the MANY jokes at his expense. Or read an interview from the last 10 years). The Daily Mail is a total farce, albeit a disingenuous, deceitful and often dangerous one. The Mail is just holding onto their vendetta because Coogan (among many others) has called them out.
Same here mate unreal
@@VambeefcoHorzey By Season 2 of the show I'm pretty sure he was done. That's when he started working with Michael Winterbottom and getting a bit more serious.
Love that Alan still makes Steve smile.
benny takes photo Your test stuff will make you laugh.
I love how he can’t help acting a bit like Alan Partridge when he says how he’s bored of Scandinavian crime dramas.
Alan was the peak of Coogan's career. Partridge was an absolute masterpiece.
in 1975.....no one died
Don't smile Steve, you've broken your neck!
The genius in the timing of “mustard” is excellent
and the tone of his voice sounds like he’s getting up out of his chair after sitting in it for a week gets me every time
As we say, too much mustard gets up your nose
@@onZampie I think that someone already said mustard is part of the joke
Also, custard isn't a condiment. And really wouldn't be confused for a condiment.
That smirk when the caller said, “mustard” was classic. It must be great to have such a body of work that you forget it!
Total legend. I met him one night. It was my Birthday and we were hitting the clubs in Brighton where I then lived. We had a shot and chatted. He was super lovely. Sometimes you can meet your heroes and they don't disappoint.
You were shotchatting!
He should have bought a round of Ladyboys.
I heard he had a habit of ending the night in a golden shower
@@mrkeogh 😁😁😁
I don't think anecdotes are your forte
I once heard an actual football commentator say, 'Ten minutes gone, and still no corners!' Better than any parody.
Hahahahah
Back of the net!
"and he'd be winning the race if its wasnt for the car in front" murray walker has 1000's of em
I heard one say X Team scored against the run of play after 3 minutes :)
@@Isleofskye LOL
Mid Morning Matters is perfect Partridge, highlights all the finer details and little subtleties of the character. Tim Key is the perfect foil too.
I agree. That and Scissored Isle are probably my favorite Partridges.
The first season is terrific. Especially King & Car. The second season... eeeehhhh... not so much.
@@dgbennet agreed! The purest forms of Partridge
Agreed - MMM is elite
Agree. That was the Partridge pinacle.
That "and another" line was one of the greatest lines ever uttered on TV.
The wry smiles as he re-lived some old gold was really heartwarming.
Completely agree with the local radio comment . BBC radio Leicester had a “ should hot cross buns be hot , or can you eat them cold “? “ call in if you eat them cold “ the call in lasted over a week lol
Radio 2 factoids with Steve Wright is a bit like that.
Still love it though.
The great thing is, that could easily have been a 'phone-in subject on Norfolk Nights!
A legit call in on a local Norfolk radio show a few years ago was 'Are you having a wibbly day or a wobbly day?'
I originally thought Mid Morning Matters was a straight parody of Radio Leicester, it's completely inane
I just pht bbc radio Leicester on to annoy passengers lol
I know this has been said countless times, but I just love that Steve himself still laughs at his work.
That scene in Philomena, her grappling for oceans of meaning in the small drops of Martin’s meeting with her son, is achingly heartbreaking and hilarious at the same time. True genius writing and performance.,
The most underrated moment of the Dan scene is when he absent-mindedly goes to put his arm around Lynn before realising his mistake. 😂😂
Coogan will be remembered as an overlooked gem whose talent and ability was not made use of anywhere often enough. Steve and his characters formed a backdrop of escapism in my life that I'll always be grateful for.
Duno about overlooked, he worked with the monty pythin team in a live action remake of wind in the willows, has been in tropic of thunder opposite downey junior and ben stiller, hes been in curb your enthusiasm with larry david co creator of one of the biggest sitcoms of all time and hes done his own version of the trip for american audiences, oh yeah and he dated courtney love of all people, wheres he been overlooked exactly?
Overlooked?? He's Alan bloody Partridge!. One of the greatest comedy characters of all time.
That's one way of looking at it.
Another way of looking at it is that he's one of the best comedy characters created, and with Alan as a character and Steve as an actor, have received the best recognition possible from his peers.
Can't say he's overlooked, he has been playing the part of a massively successful comedy character over the past three decades, for one!
Lyn, remove yourself from the theatre of conflict. What? Go and stand by the Yakults
Adderz “Get in Lyn!”
You're alright you!.....Argghhhr! How long did you put this in for Lynn?
About 2 minutes?
It's hotter than the sun!
“8 minutes” is my go to Alan quote 😂
@@hazandduck
Go give it to her 😆
It’s me on me, on Alan on Alan, on I on I, on Partridge on Partridge...
Classic MMM
Is that a loop?
Knowing me knowing you!
😂
I like that he can laugh at his own sketches
He mentioned recently that he's able to laugh at Partridge because he views it as a team effort and he's just the front man.
This is Liquid Content!
Alfino some might say golden
Some great banter
This is Liquid Comment!

Coogan has been a source of laughs and pleasure for me for over 30 years. Thank You SC. You have cheered me up so many times.
One of the funniest men alive.
He’s textbook
As said by shaken stevens 👍
Back of the net
Kiss my face
I love it that he finds Partridge funny.
Coogan is an institution of British comedy. He created the funniest and most enduring comedy character of all time in Alan, and the way he's developed him particularly in the last 10 years with I, Partridge, Nomad and The Oasthouse has just added such depth to the character as well as making him more hilarious. What other comedy character is there that you know pretty much his entire life story chronicled through books , tv programs and podcasts?
Listening to Richard Madeley on the radio is like listening to a brand new episode of Mid Morning Matters every time.
MMM is my favourite epoch of partridge
If I was Steve Coogan I would be extremely proud of Alan, when ever I'm in a good or bad mood Alan Partridge is my go too comedy, ground breaking in its day and exciting to still see he is still playing the character, he shouldn't see it as an albatross, more of a pleasure to continue making millions laugh out load...lol
I thought mid morning matters was as good as any early Partridge
Can I shock you? I like the early Partridge despite what I said earlier.
Disappointed this wasn't 2 hours long
So was your missus.
Same
@@paddymuppy LOOOOOOL
@@paddymuppy haha
i prefer the term streamlining
Steve is a British comedy legend! Done so much great stuff!
I’ve always liked Steve Coogan, I’ve always thought he seems on a different level to other comedians. Seems like a proper nice genuine bloke too.
The Bandit apparently he’s into golden showers
French Guitar Guy who isn’t
The Bandit I’m not here to kink shame just state facts
@@frenchguitarguy1091 They do it on purpose, Lynne
thats coz he from Manchester
Have been rewatching the entire Partridge series. Utter genius. Steve is such a talent. Wish we had more.
He's spot on about poverty and feminism. And about how great Tim Key is.
Yeah, I once joked with my brother about political fundraisers going to the swankiest parts of Hollywood and saying you need to fundraise for a PAC to deal with sexism and racism. "Oh yes?" the chequebook would begin to open. "...And we want more egalitarianism" "What???" And the chequebook would swing shut :-D
I'm not saying that sexism and racism are nice, it's just that I think it's a way for rich people to dodge the real issue in this world.
Ruined the lives of Dans everywhere.
Dannnnnnnnnn!!!!!
occasionally when i go in starbucks, i say my name is dan when they take my order, then wait a few shouts when my coffee is ready, just to amuse myself..
Dave got: "Hello? Is that Dave?"
@@chescarino Excellent work.
@@chescarino I'm going to change my name to Dan when I use Starbucks just for the buzz of doing that.😂
I could listen to Coogan all day discussing his thought process behind his comedy.
I love how funny he finds himself. Not being an arse about it you can tell it's genuinely cracking him up
I think Steve Coogan is a unique and constantly inventive TV talent. He seems to put a lot of energy into his acting.
I just want more Alan Partridge. It's consistently funny and makes me laugh over and over again after I've watched it countless times. I would be so happy to see a season 3 to This Time.
Make sure you do the audiobooks and podcasts as well
mid morning matters is one of the best british comedies, for real, not sure what changed for Alan but i can go back to that anytime and cry laughing
Its excellent. Better than the recent one.. that looked like the one show. That felt a bit forced.
Tim key levels it up for me. The perfect duo.so subtle
i still prefer duncan thickett.. also; occasionally when i go in starbucks, i say my name is dan when they take my order, then wait a few shouts when my coffee is ready, just to amuse myself..
chescarino brilliant. Gonna rip that one off. I thought I was the only one to make up increasingly implausible names for the servers to shout.
That's saaaaad!
(I would do that.
I will do it.)
chescarino Duncan “ ‘Ave yer ever nooticed.....”
Priceless
Brilliant hahaha
👍😂😂
Der's more ta ireland dan dis!!!
Absolute gold!
always loved Alan Partidge, his Partidge shows are timeless and rewatchable. He was fantastic as Stan Laurel too
Have grown up watching Steve's work, Alan Partridge, Paul and Pauline Calf's video diary, The Parole Officer... such an icon in tv and a top bloke.
I love how he chuckles at his performances. It's like when I scroll through my old Facebook posts, and I i think, man, i really am pretty funny..
Youth Hostelling with Chris Eubank would have been a rather interesting watch.
Arm wrestling with Chas and dave
Monkey tennis forever
They actually made that, its on youtube.
@@themadplotter th-cam.com/video/iGG5OhEcpOQ/w-d-xo.html
And Gordon Ramsay did Cooking In Prison.
You missed out Knowing Me Knowing You With Alan Partridge. The best comedy show of all time.
I always say the radio show was better, not to appear elite and snobby (!) but because without the visuals the script & wordplay were superb. Back of the net!
“AND ANOTHER!!!” gets me every time 🤣
Getting rid of canned laughter was a godsend for Steve Coogan and Alan Partridge. It allowed the character to get a lot more subtle and quick, and it's telling that in this video the Mid Morning Matters clip is the most replayed. Imagine that clip with canned laughter, none of the jokes would work, they'd be cut out to make space for the cheesy laugh track. Like Coogan says, it's tight, rehearsed, very intricate.
Nice to see him smile and laugh at his own clips. Genuine guy
He was remarkable as Stan Laurel.
I absolutely love Steve Coogan, his humour has kept me going for decades
mid morning matters is my favourite , i didn't see it till years later and loved it.
“Mustard” made me actually cry my eyes out I didn’t expect it at first so had to watch it back
Lol me too. The while scene was ridiculous from the start. Asking people on the radio what their favorite condiment to bring on a trip is so silly it's funny. The guy struggling to think of mustard just brings it all together like a rug.
This guy is a genius can’t get enough of partridge
Had no idea all those soccer commentary lines were improvised, he’s an absolute genius.
There's a level of seriousness that comes across Coogan's face when he revisits the Partridge reels as though he believes it's true thespian technique and he's not wrong.
When Alan is pitching shows to the boss in the posh restaurant , the voice & hand gestures are pure Richard Madeley😁😁
24 hour party people.
Awesome film. Nothing like Tony Wilson in real life though. RIP.
As an actor (rather than a comedian) his performance in it was brilliant.
I love how he was preparing not to laugh at the Dan Scene...but had to break when he inevitably got drawn in! :)
Philomena and The Trip series are absolutely fantastic
The footy bit, I’ll never forget the line “he’s got a foot like a traction engine!!!”. Made me laugh countless times.
Another fantastic performance of Steve Coogan portrayed by Alan Partidge
Absolutely love Coogan what a comedy genius he is
Yeah he's just proper bloody great isn't he. His book was awful though. I'd be really surprised if he wrote it.
Coogan is one of the greatest we’ve had in this country, his work is genius.
Brilliant, simply brilliant.
I love Alan Partridge's book, audio book on here, Nomad. It's hilarious from begining to end, all 6 hours of it, I've lsitened to it 3 times over the years and it just gets funnier. His other books are good as well. I love Steve Coggan for making me laugh so often!
When Steve brought out his first book We need to talk about Alan, I went to see him do the book release in London, he read a few pages from the first chapter and my stomach still hurts from the laughter to this day.
We all just wasn't expecting it to of been that funny right out of the bag and off the first page.
Both his books are the funniest reads on the planet in my opinion.
Honestly his face as he was reading it was so partridge I truly believed he was real for a second, he was so serious haha.
Pure genius
His hatred of Heathrow and love of Gatwick.
I love the fact that steve laughs at his own work, brilliant!
AP has grown as the man himself over the years. We are watching a character have a full life's career. Absolutely fantastic.
I love watching Steve googan in anything
Absolute genius, the voice of my youth, national treasure, thank God for Steve Coogan
2:23 “eat that! And another!”
One of the greatest and funniest comic creations ever......watch the box set over and over and still laugh....Steve Coogan should be very proud......
Steve Coogan is a National Treasure 🥳❤️!!!!
Love how he laughs at it because he knows it's funny even though its him...
I never thought his career had flat lined before philomena but for him to think that and go in a completely different direction is brave.
SC could afford to take some more tragic roles. I love his comic characters, but Philomena is wonderful. Most of the secondary characters in Partridge are also rather tragic. Especially Lynn and Simon. Was so happy to see Lynn returning on "This Time"
Please please please just bring allan back I beg u Steve we all need him back on tv and mid morning matters he is by far my most favourite person on tv from the very beginning I still watch and laugh at everything even tho I've watched um thousands of times it never gets boring 😀
Steve Coogan is an incredible performer. I absolutely love his work. He takes risks, works hard, no moment is lost.
Alan Partridge for an OBE !!
He's helped so many at so many levels...
The BBC , Radio , Viewers and Listeners , The General Public , The UK as a Nation , and a "Savior" to "human photocopier" , Lynn Benfield !!
Only the nonces get those titles so I hope not...
@@pagethreemodel Then "The Nobel Piece Prize" instead !!
Alan didn't inspire peace in the middle east but he did have close communication with a former SAS combat "killer" who served in Iraq !!
Michael in the petrol station !! lol
He hates Britain though.
@@strangelee4400 Alan was and IS a legend !! And also a natural leader !!
A man who IS his own man, unlike posh and becks who are simply , mutton dressed up as mutton, lol !!
The curator was hilarious. Partridge is the best, every iteration, from sports to chat, incredible. Spot on about flogging dead horses, reality shows and soaps for me being the most horrible and tedious example.....oh and bloody quiz shows. Great stuff Steve, you are a national treasure!
What a brilliant man
Partridge has to be the most consistently funny character to last decades..utterly love him
Tim key is fantastic..totally agree
A very close relation to me is very much like Alan in most ways, I happen to be his son. Thanks for creating this character as is allows me to cope with him on a daily basis, especially as we work together and travel together around selling machinery.
Scenes from the Bureau will always be my top Coogan moments.
I'm closing the Bureau!
For an hour.
I love that he's cracking up at his own content years on, that's how you know it's good!
When Partridge was trying to deliver the speech after impaling himself, I nearly wet myself
The pyrotechnic glitter bombs to finish it off and then quoting how much the pyros cost. Class.
Don't shine that torch in my face, mate. I've just lost a pint of blood.
Class
Ooooooooh you're gonna have a good time!
This man is good for my soul.
Ohhhh she’s nicer than my wife
PLEASE MAKE MORE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ALAN PARTRIDGE, BEST THING IVE SEEN FOR AGES
Absolutely brilliant Steve, as always.
My favourite comedy characters of all time are Alan Partridge, Ali G, David Brent and Dr Alan Statham - Cunsultant Radiologist!
Imagine how tired we Scandinavians are of "Scandi noir"...
I can only imagine!!.
Brilliant I love Alan Partridge shows.
Steve enjoys Alan Partridge like any other Alan Partridge fan
Comes across as a very thoughtful performer. I remember "Pauline Calf" years ago (on Jonathon Ross maybe) doing a stand-up routine. That was the funny thing I'd seen to that point. Fearless comedy for the times. Followed him ever since. Great teamwork with Mr. Brydon too. Looking forward to seeing the new movie. PS : Bring back Pauline Calf !
Absolute genius of a man.
I don’t any have an interest in cars .. but I listen to these two crazy car guys all the time and I just love every minute of it. Sometimes it’s fascinatingly Mandane..and hysterical at the same time.
He gives credit to his co-stars and writers. I can always admire that.
There's something about Steve Coogan's tv + films that make them so dam watchable! I dread to think how many times I've watched Alan Partridge and The Trip films. 💯
Shame there was no 24 Hour Party People in this video. I loved that film.
Very talented chap.
This is just the greatest creation in the history of comedy, Steve is just simply a genius
