The movie Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa is absolutely hilarious. I've rewatched it several times, and I originally went into it never having heard of Alan Partridge and only barely of Steve Coogan. The trailers don't capture it all. "Trust me, Susan." is probably the greatest line ever in the midst of a shootout. I was properly introduced to Steve Coogan and also Rob Bryden through their movie The Trip. Some B roll impressions from The Trip and maybe the follow-up movie(s): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mB3eSud1_Cs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mB3eSud1_Cs Michael Caine impressions by them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFIQIpC5_wY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFIQIpC5_wY Even more impressions from them and probably shows their breadth the best: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWJTcblS4KI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWJTcblS4KI

I was expecting Ali G in da House but it was much better. Of course I did laugh a lot at the former when I was a teenager, though.

  it's a crying shame that for a large part of a recent generation, Ali G in da House is their only real awareness of Ali G. it's like knowing Ali G solely through the intros and interludes from Da Ali G Show

> Steve Coogan and also Rob Bryden "Gentlemen! We ride at dawn! Or perhaps at about 8-ish" I still use this line whenever I can, e.g. when staying with friends and planning the next morning.

  Well off topic, but my favourite line from the movie Flushed Away: (all in a French accent) "We leave immediately!" "What about dinner?" "We leave... in five hours!"

Alpha Papa was good fun, but for some reason it didn’t feel like classic Alan Partridge. The humour was slightly different ?

  That's certainly possible but lost on me since it was my introduction to Alan Partridge.

The Trip is amazing. That B roll cut is actually from the original TV series which is much longer than the movie. If you enjoyed the movie you'll love the series.

  Oh, I had no idea it was a TV series! Just thought it was the movies, and I didn't recognize those impressions from The Trip movie but recognized that table.
