Could someone please explain to me why one would care about this character in particular?

  Especially when we could care for Peter O'Hanrara-hanraran https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnS07NS8110 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnS07NS8110

    This DVD extra turned into his hands-down best sketch (and probably the best intro to puzzled Americans) - Peter O'Hanrara-hanraran, live on the scene at 9/11 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SPWgodul_E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SPWgodul_E

      Thank you - I don't think I'd ever heard this one before.

    ```Ich nichten lichten'' = I don't like it, but I'll have to go along with it Famous Valid German Phrase

      Peter, you’ve lost the news!
      • mattbee 3y ago
        These are both regular phrases in my house.
        • mdp2021 3y ago
          Including the best part, "Peter, next time you cross the road, don't bother looking"?
          • mattbee 3y ago
            I mean I've not used it but it's definitely there and ready.

          The Chris Morris phrase I find myself using regularly, or at least thinking, is "You're WRONG and you're a GROTESQUELY ugly freak." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QPJoRWz8Sc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QPJoRWz8Sc Edit: Not you, obviously. Whoever was being wrong at that particular moment.

  If you’re British and of a certain age, then Alan Partridge the character encompasses a significant aspect of Britishness, and has a particular cultural resonance as a result.

    As a Farage-esque caricature to laugh at.

  He was popular on British TV in the 90s.
• mellosouls 3y ago
  British cultural icon as important as other (more internationally famous?) British comedic characters such as Blackadder, Basil Fawlty and David Brent.

  Because after 30 years he's still able to get a second series
• lvturner 3y ago
  This is how us Brits feel when some “random” information about a 90s American character hits the front page.
