These two just KILL me. Coogan has superb timing. Brydon's affable, blundering nature is the perfect complement to Coogan's restrained, aloof "I'm too sexy" demeanor.
Every significant scene from at least the first two seasons is the most clever comedic scene from any show ever. It's weird, but that's what the data shows.
Gere punched him in the face during a fight scene (apparently by accident) but then later said, "I saw the trip and wasn't going to let you get away with what you said."
Coogan does a version of this in Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa in the police station when he's like "guys!... none of us chose the hand we're dealt... henh! ..."
The problem is - now you had Gere's little thing explained like a magic trick you can never really 'suspend reality' when you're watching a Gere movie from now on.
@@jonathandewberry289 Will do. But, as I said, Gere is a solid actor and I can't see him being defined by something this arcane. I mean Brando notoriously used 'pauses', esp in his early work. And, one can see it. But, it doesn't 'color' him, in any real way. It's just part of his technique as an actor. Or was.
@@waynej2608 I'm not convinced Gere is an especially good actor. He has handsome Gentile looks and mastered the 'handsome boy smile/grin' but is he really that good of an actor? solid enough, i might say that. good enough, I don't know if he's a 'Brando' or some sort of serious thing outside of a handsome leading man with a great smile?
@@jonathandewberry289 Early in his career, he may have been considered as such, with films like Officer and a, Gentleman and Pretty Woman. However, Gere never enjoyed this 'good looking, leading man in mainstream film' label and decided to take on more challenging work. Then again, early on, he showed early promise in Looking for Mr. Goodbar, Bloodbrothers, Days of Heaven and Somersby. He continued to take on more challenging, offbeat roles in films like Robert Altman's vastly underrated, Dr. T and the Women. I always thought he was a good actor, but the one that really clinched it, for me, was when he did, Hoax. His portrayal of author Clifford Irving was terrific. More impressive, disparate efforts were evident in films like Primal Fear, Internal Affairs, Brooklyn's Finest, Norman, I'm Not There, Time Out of Mind. He may not be Brando (who is?), but Gere has proven himself a versatile and consistantly impressive actor, thru the years. Certainly much more than an 'acting tic' or a handsome profile. Do yourself a favor and delve into some of the films I've mentioned. You'll see what I mean. Start with Hoax and Brooklyn's Finest. Amazing.
all of these are very good, the guess the bill thing, became a thing in our little group. the more the eyes rolled, you knew that you had got them, but you just keep going, regardless of dodgy Irish acsent, always produced fun
The best part about being an actor (I have to remember cause it’s been awhile) is hanging around other actors and goofing off just like these two! Infinite jest, how I miss it!
@@baronmeduse you wanted humouring so I had to drop a sexual bad vision into the comment. 👍🏼😂 edit: just be glad photos can’t be added to comments on here because I could have shown you a goofing off face!! 😩
Correct, a lightweight who succeeded in spite of his limitations. Another lightweight is Mr. Pierce Brosnan. But there are plenty more in Hollywood these days.
@@Gerard_2024 Yes, gere is indeed successful, but is still a lightweight. In fact, it's probably due to the fact he's a lightweight that he's successful. Mediocrity sells.
@@hyena131 Excellent point. Nowadays we seem to be living in a culture of mediocrity. It is hard not to conclude that the level of critical discernment of the viewing audience has fallen dramatically, thus creating the necessary conditions for mediocrity to thrive.
@@Gerard_2024 Thanks, but haven't we always - to some extent - lived in a "culture of mediocrity?" I daresay when Socrates was alive and kicking the masses enjoyed simple entertainment. This is human nature, but perhaps it's more pronounced now due to the overwhelming surge of social media. Who knows.
Please can someone explain me about how the names of the characters in a play or a movie be an indicator of choice for any actor to play ? Why Richard Gere wouldnt play a 'Malcolm' but a 'Joshua' ? I appreciate if anyone can explain me this.
"I thought for a minute, you had forgotten your line, but you hadn't, it was simply acting" ha ha these two are brilliant !
It's so gold, give me this over any of the stuff Ricky Gervais throws up
I’d love to see a show like Who’s Line is it Anyway - where all Rob does is given a character and situation - and act
thats what you take from this?? idiot
@@Alpha_7227 Got to give Ricky props for the Office. The rest not so much.
@@breeze_japanese Extras was superb.
"Joshua. It's a costume drama. Continue."
Pure improv. I love it.
Cracks me up every time
I laugh every time Coogan says costume drama.🤣🤣
“He’d never play a character named malcom” HAHAHAHA
So true as well. Joshua is perfect.
Catch you later colin
Colin!?
He’s spot on with Gere’s technique
"Whoa, I'm not your bloody father!"
I could play it, I could play it.
"You're not slippin' that one under the fence!"
"it was simply acting"
Awesome line. Reminded me of Team America. "I could've sworn she was telling the truth." "That's why they call it acting."
@Jeremy Dexter Brave of you to assume I have friends.
Steve Coogan's impression is a clear example of the importance of timing and how sometimes less is one hell of alot more. He can really act.
He can _imitate._ Very, very different.
@@johnstrawb3521 imitators make for good actors generally
It was simply *acting*
@@johnstrawb3521 acting and imitating are realistically the same things
Ah yes, you’re right.
These two just KILL me. Coogan has superb timing. Brydon's affable, blundering nature is the perfect complement to Coogan's restrained, aloof "I'm too sexy" demeanor.
And I always thought the days of comic duos were dead. Laurel And Hardy. Gryf and Jones, Abbot and Costello, Lewis and Martin
@@Alpha_7227 oh don’t worry they are dead
This is a clip from 2010
Today we get to sit and enjoy *checks notes* ….Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart
@@sbraypaynt
hahaha too true
There were shades of Pacino coming through there, thought he was going to say
"Oh Joshua... WHADAYOUGOT!! (licks lips)
Oh Joshua. I dunno how to tell you this. I got cancer of the prick!
oh joshua.... DONT WASTE MY MF'ING TIME!!
"... she's got a great ass!!"
@@fergalhughes165 ...and you got your head all the way up it!
He should have
Fuck! For a second, I literally felt that Coogan was Richard Gere. Phenomenal acting! 👏🏼
Those quick little looks he does from the table with the smile. It's like I'm a kid watching Pretty Woman for the first time again. Uncanny.
I love how they gorgeously take the piss out of each other.
Wow, that Gere impersonation hooked me. Mesmerizing.
Best Gere impression ever!
I was listening... in an interesting way...
these could be the best clips i've ever stumbled across on youtube
"I guess I'm not" I haven't burst out in laughter like that for so long.
Nowadays Richard Gere does this and really does forget the question.
just put one camera to the side of these two and let'er roll! could watch for hours! they are both just great!
No Deal. No more cameras. Mr Ofidiots.
I could watch these two all day long!!
Hilarious! PLUS, when he did that little bit, some vague memory of Gere in a film popped into my head. ---These fellows are _good._
Those pursed lips and downward glance really capture Gere.
I almost didn't but I'm so glad I did watch this clip till the end. Brilliant line.
Rob Brydon is just the funniest.
When he does it it's actually really damn good acting!
One of the bests shows ever and how super talented are these two comedians. The chemistry and timing they have is amazing
Though uncredited, Rob Brydon played a Leonesse villager in First Knight toward the beginning of the film, opposite Richard Gere.
I love when these guys get together and go on a road trip.
Every significant scene from at least the first two seasons is the most clever comedic scene from any show ever. It's weird, but that's what the data shows.
fabulous.
what talent looks like.
Those two are a complete joy to watch!
"I was listening to you in an interesting way...continue."😂
Coogan is actually going to be in a movie with Gere this year called THE DINNER!
Don't you mean WAS going to be in a movie with Gere this year called THE DINNER!?:)
Gere punched him in the face during a fight scene (apparently by accident) but then later said, "I saw the trip and wasn't going to let you get away with what you said."
Shit too !
i love them together in these films!! 😂🤗😌👍✌️👆
If I could be arsed to watch a Richard Gere film I'd look out for that little gimmick. :)
Absolutely brilliant.
one of the most brilliant impressions
Love how he has a killer Richard Gere impression. No one else could pull that off
@/ His face suddenly shifts into Gere. Amazing.
He does this in Pretty Woman. I think towards the end in the limo, when the driver says something that convinces him to go get her.

@@AlienInsect That's the move!
These 2 are comedy gold.
I will forever love these two.
That was actually really good. Drew me in😆

It was so wholesome how the episode ended and then seeing the restaurant was closed was like someone threw me a bucket of cold water

I think Gere is a good enough actor, thus I don't see it as an issue.

Gonna start using that when I'm focusing on football on the TV.
To g.f.: "I'm listening to you... in an interesting way."
I'm gutted Joshua isn't coming back.

Omg I love these two!

Such subtle nuances and it was eerily accurate.
"Whoa! I'm not ya bloody father!"
He's absolutely right about gere. I've seen that!
Lost it at 0:57 😂😂😂
Richard gere also blinks alot 👍
Brydon's "Joshua" was over-egging it a bit, lol.

Love this humour
Words fail me. Richard Gere. Wordless yet!
Did Joshua come back? Where the 'folks round here' correct ?
This has been eating me up inside. We deserve to know!
"it was simply acting" lmfao
Brilliant .
Gere has made millions not giving a fk
When gere looks away and returns he does of sort of chomp or chew .comp sexy
I ❤️ The Trip series.
This scene cracks me up so much. Also, Rob has small hands for such a big head.
But it’s really not the head one needs to compare them..
I can see Richard Gere's face in Steve Coogan's face.
Simply acting ,LOL .
gere - the lightweight. And Coogan nails this superbly.

such talent
So funny these two! 😂
Rob Brydon's " Joshua " bit reminds me of Bruce Springsteen.
Actual love for this!
Genius .
Too good
OH! JOSHUA!
This whole series is reminiscent of a Cat (Coogan/Partridge) toying with a Mouse (Brydon)
Joshua Then and Now
brilliant
Sensational
nevermind the impression, that was just great acting from both
OOHHHH JOSHUA
Has anyone edited this together with examples of gere doing this? Please
exactly! please!!!!
Should've done some Keanu. "Joshua..... Woah"
Coogan Brydon pure class!
That was class lol
Brydon wins on voice and Coogan wins on mannerisms.
That ending was actually good lol
Great comedy.
