I've seen this clip a million times and I still laugh like a compleme cunm 🤣🤣🤣
Back of the net!
ME TOO! Ive watched it about 50x's/yr...at least😉☺️...since i saw this beloved gem of hilarity about 5 yrs ago!!❤❤
cum? clown? cunt? wat
never mind, been a while since i've seen this clip, I'm a compleme idiom.
@@Gobbbbb better that than being a “smupid gim”! I think any1 who appreciates how hilarous this clip is-esp the LOL hilariousness of Stuart, my fave caller-is awesome…& 1 of the greatest things since sliced bread!!😆🤣😅😄👍💕🙋♀️👋
It’s so simple, yet so bloody brilliant
I love how Alan goes from a really specific topic like Panel Beating to the broadest possible topic of "what is the best thing" in his desperate pursuit of popularity, such a well written character.
It's not that broad a topic; everyone knows the answer is "bread".
And his annoyance at the idea that it’s simply sliced bread
That is the joke
@@alih1000 yes I know
@@alih1000 Thank _f@#*_ you were here to explain that to us! We would have been floundering around like simpletons, utterly bereft of laughter, had you not been standing by to point out that "that is the joke"!
Well done _you!_
🤦
Mid Morning Matters was peak partridge.
Absobloodyexactly
Agree - the character is so well drawn he doesn't need anything more than a sidekick and a studio. Undiluted Partridge is best of all.
@@steviec8370 I'm not sure if Sceptered Isle wasn't his finest work
Scissored Isle
@@MrAgbxl I do love Scissored Isle as well. Best one off episode of Partridge ever
The Herod line was Partridge at his best. Jurassic park.
We don't like him.
Perhaps the best thing?
Pure Madeley.
Coogan’s over pronunciation is absolutely perfect. AP must go down as one of the greatest ever comedy characters of all time.
"Hwhat is the Best Thing?"
The greatest ever of all time since records began?
The comedy history books have been rewritten. They just say: Partridge.
Everything else is a footnote.
'The greatest comedy since slice bread', as it were. Because that's what people say, iznit?
Particularly Virulent.
'You're a compleme cunm' 😂😂😂
😭😭
Yes. Well done. You followed the joke in the script. Congrats.
@@roygbv255 yes. Well done. You explained what i found amusing. Congrats.
@@roygbv255 there's always a cunm in the commenms.
@@wallsgreebo8352 I didn't explain anything sir. I merely mocked your urge to write out verbatim the line in the script that was delivered. Completely unnecessary.
Hahahaha the transition to the song. God, I love Partridge.
Such a seamless segue at the end there, a bit like Jamiriqui… perfect
I've seen this clip a billion times and I still laugh like a compleme cunm 🤣🤣🤣
"Panel beating was too narrow a topic".
This man is a genius!!!!!!
Up there with "Next we'll be speaking with Norfolk's youngest butcher" !!!
I love it when you get the really enthusiastic callers with the Cornish accents making silly suggestions that they defend until the end 😂😂😂
Surely it's an East anglian accent
@@stephen3654 It should be, but rarely is. 😑
*East anglian
Tim Key is the best straight man. Him and Alan are the perfect double act.
I was crying laughing by the end of this 😂
I'd actually LOVE to hear Alan host a phone-in on panel beating. Perhaps he could revisit that.
That would make it 4 then.
@@mow3186 Good.
it could definitely be a hit
To be fair to Stuart on line 6, sliced bread was a good answer.
Simons laugh when Alan says ‘the fact that you can drive cars across it is a bonus’ 😂
Ever since watching the show in the late 90s on Rte2 and getting the Partridge bug I was waiting to watch a full radio show, just like the intros and exit bits of the show. Sure we had original KMKYWAP(sounds like a moist towelette) but MMM is probably peak Partridge, right up there with the Xmas special, the French episode, the farmers episode etc. Absolutely back of the net!
Baby Cow, whoever is running this channel pour yourself a nice big fat shot of Directors Bitter, crack open a mini Babybel and pop on some OMD and know you are so ruddy bloody brave!
Have you listened to the podcast? It’s absolutely quality, up there with his best and miles better than This Time for me.
Sounds likes heaven that
Agreed. I wasn't too keen on every single episode on first watch - but now I'm of the opinion MMM is Peak Partridge.
@@stuartparsons4948 Philip 'moribund' parsons any relation?
@@glapots None that I'm aware of; although, I have been called "Moribund" more than once or twice.
"momal mwam" 😂😂😂
A bit like jamiriquai.
How come my fellow Americans don't get this humor? It is simply sublime on all levels.
Do you have a similar kind of banal, self-important local radio presenter over there?
You've asked all of them have you?
it's because they ate idioms
No laugh track and stupid one liners?
America’s version of Alan Partridge is Ron Burgundy.
Very funny but they have 2 completely different styles
Haha just noticed sidekick Simon cross out something on his notepad during the ‘sliced bread’ call. 😂😂
"We all know the phrase, mate."
This clip should be renamed "Wham is mhe besm mhing - Alan Parmridge's Mid Morning Mammers!" 😃
...and leave the keys in it so it can be moved afterwards. Haha. Genius.
All of these Partridge clips are just pure comedy magic...
They are liquid youtube
"and leave the keys in your car so someone can move it afterwards" 😂
John carpenter's 1982 version.
"Verrry amusing Mister Hall, I shall have to put that on my wall of....of....line two!!"
You momal mwam! 🤣🤣🤣
Compleme cunm
_A dosser and a dwad!_
"Because he is, and hopefully soon to be was, a very unpleasant individual!"
just noticed how simon's headphones change when the shot changes at 34 seconds in! never spotted that before...
That implies that this is a montage and Alan regularly asks listeners what the best thing is
@@deffonotluke definitely not a montage.
@@JezD67 I know I was joking
@@deffonotluke 🤣
Dang now you got me looking at everything, like the cups….
"Herod"?! Bloody Hell, that got dark quickly, didn't it?
Panel beating 😆
I laughed like a mwam
I'm with the sliced bread guy. FWIW
Do you want a tee-shirt?
Brazil nuts are ultra high in selenium and it's easy to go well over the safe RDA. One brazil nut is fine.
Yeah nothing worse than the dreaded selenium shits .
Long radioactive half life, so I wouldn’t hold them in your mouth for longer than necessary.
If you knew half the muck they put into cashew nuts you would never eat one again, worse than chicken nuggets!!
Informative and entertaining post. I thoroughly recommend that with a 'thumb up'.
Great banter
It really is very, very good.
Wow, I was not prepared for that segue - genius.
Tim Key's expressions!
He is FANTASTIC.
I want to know if the bit where TIm says "again" after Alan is encouraging members of the public to commit sucide is an ad-lib or scripted?
Hes just SUBLIME as Simon.
"You smumid gim" followed by the little giggle was hilarious
Panel beating was too narrow a topic 😂
Glass blowing with Aled Jones
Brillianm
Sliced bread lol Brilliant :)
"Your an idiot!" (i.e. I think that's how that caller would spell it.)
you're
For those that mix t's and m's, this video would be called Wham is mhe "Besm Mhing"?
A lot of Partridge stuff is very similar to Tommy Boyd's radio show on Talk Radio in the 90s. This is very similar to "The Wonderful Hour." Another Partridge topic that I'm sure was covered by Tommy Boyd: "What happens if you just eat crisps?"
The arguing very aggressively with guests is also reminiscent of James Whale, who claimed to have given Coogan his "big break." I wonder how the dynamic between Alan and Simon relates to that.
I’ve never heard the call where it sounds like Dave Clifton called in.
Yeah where's that bit from where the guy calling in says it's Alan's show? I've never heard it, or the bit about arse licking. Is there an extended version out there I've not seen?
As a parody, this is very funny, quick-witted humor..polite ways of telling someone to kiss their ass..lol
An early trolling from High Noon
Who laughs while thinking about milk?
Mid Morning Matters especially after a large bran muffin and three cups of strong, black coffee.
A bit like Jamiroqoui..makes me laugh no matter how many times I hear it🤣
Panel beating is the best thing ever
If a thing being "the best thing since sliced bread" is a common phrase then the bread had been surpassed many times as best thing 🤔
Yeah, but the guy was an idiom.
This is so fucking funny, it is the best thing.
Love how he turns really nasty on that caller. Genius writing!
Panel beating is such a niche topic that I had to Google what it was lo. And then the pendulum swings the completely opposite way with an absurdly broad topic hahahaha
best clip
And leave the keys in your, so people can shift it after🤣🤔
"Can I have a t-shirt?" is an underrated line.
I think the guy phoning in is played by Simon Greenall, who is Michael in the TV series
@@nickstone1587 It's not. It's Martin Glyn Murray.
@@Geshreeyeh Damn ok, maybe it was Roy from various places in IAP
‘Pop the Straight Jackets on them’!
Tom Scott : "hmm"
“Moon Walking”
Lol!
"Momal mwam" !! I'd like to see the CZcams filters stop that little slice of genius.
The worth of boast worlds
"Stop getting Partridge wrong!"
Not my words, but the words of Bill Oddie.
Soooo funny
That is 'the best thing' in terms of Partridge.
Peak Partridge and Sidekick Simon elevated him
"....well obviously that's the implication"
It's Steven Mcoomb phoning in
BUTTER MY ARSE!
I miss the Alan Partridge radio app PLEASE update for iOS
The funny thing is is that Clifton Suspension bridge is actually nowhere near North Norfolk. That's the funny thing.
Now that IS a funny thing.
Herod, lol!
I think the best thing may actually be MMMWAP (and sidekick Simon).
Alan should have made the point that the phrase “the best thing since sliced bread” is only used in the context of a thing which is thought to be tip-top and bloody marvellous to boot.
So if you say something is the “best thing since sliced bread” there will be a thing that is the best thing. For example, tea bags or penicillin.
Love this banter! True as well, well spotted :)
Hey, you! What's your favorite flavor Pot Noodle, then?
Mine's "Bombay Bad Boy!"
Too many idioms in the world, not enuf Alan partridge…esp Stewart, who is so hilarious , he may just be, at least 2 me, the best thing since sliced bread.😂❤
Is that Stewart Lee? Sliced bread!

@@Mr_Sh1tcoin you should've said baguette
Herod 😂
its the best thing
Noticed it ages ago but strangely prescientl - is that a keffiiyeh scarf at the end?
Jamoraqui is the name of the band you speak of the lead singer "Jaykay"
you knew who he was talking about though didn't you
The Clifton suspension bridge was built for people like you 😂😂😂👏👏
Mid Morning Matters, where North Norfolk natters.
Stuart on line 6 should have his own radio show.
Herod haha
Love to know whose playing Stuart
I think socks are pretty good
poor Jay
We all know the phrase mate!
I did not see Chewitts coming
Just like jamiroquai
Again … 😂😂😂
WE DON'T LIKE HEROD.. AND SLICED 🥪 BREAD... 🙏🏻 IT'S AN IDIOM... 🙏🏻 🤣🤣🤣
What's the name of the other actor? I think he was in Life's Too Short...yes?
Tim Key
this alone blows away both series of "This Time", they are just sa-a-aaaad.
I laughed so much I had kenco coming out of my nostrils.
@@TommyRazzle69 this will happen from time to time with true AP fans.
Can I have a t-shirt?
..laughing in the face of adversity!?
