Finally! Tim Key was the best addition to the cast since Lynn

[@liamjones9115]

Same money though!

[@tomthetickintimebomb]

Finally got that promotion maaaaaa

[@Misteryowl]

“Tommy, join me at the lady” will never get old

[@UnbelievablyGauche]

“Oooh very curvy stripes…like she’s been squeezed out of a…giant tube of uh, Colgate Lady Paste!”, is forever burned into my brain.
I also used it in real life one time and it went down a storm.

[@meandthepotatoes4916]

Coogan is a genius, the slightly too long a walk is to him is absolutely perfect

[@darrenvader8597]

I laughed way too much at those extra footsteps. The sound and everything was perfect

[@ommk9650]

If I remember correctly, each episode of this time the walk got slightly longer

Alan in the fashion segment cracks me up every time I see it 😂 I love how he gets more & more into it, like secretly it's the sort of thing he's always wanted to do

[@papasy3748]

Yes! Because he was a babykiller

[@paulriggall8370]

That's the best thing.

[@APRS]

Can I have a t-shirt?

[@Philosoph-ali]

It’s an idiom.

[@arveyilleszender5809]

I love the running joke whereby Sidekick Simon (under the pedantic duress of Alan) is always trying to hide his panic, whilst incompetently navigating the cumbersome software/ gimmicky touchscreen. And then how he tries to buy time with a stream of lower-middle-class ready-wit and faux-casual/colloquial packaged soundbites ... fkin brilliant.

[@TheJohnCooperShow]

The subtley of British humour and the nuances is on another level. The slightly prolonged moments of cringe to the point of fear and then releasing etc.

[@iketyke7324]

Think that’s why other cultures sometimes don’t get it. It’s because it’s very nuanced and subtle.

[@TheJohnCooperShow]

@@iketyke7324 exactly. For instance Americans need “in yer face” humour. They need an obvious joey from friends type joke set up and canned laughter ti know what to find funny, in a Pavlovian sense.

Least worst moments more like. He was a terrible creation. Alan isn't much better. I am sad to see Coogan lose his way. He used to be really funny pre Partridge but isn't anymore.

I'd take it further, he stopped being funny when he started doing Paul Calf. Before that he was ruddy brilliant

[@patchso]

He was absolutely hilarious before anyone whatsoever had seen him. Once the first ever person saw him it was downhill from there. As soon as he was on telly, he was the worst thing ever.
