"Partridge Vs Brent."

OK, which one of these two makes you cringe the most? Personally I prefer Partridge. Obviously he has a lot more back material, but the Office was never that funny anyway. Decide!

I meant to say *starts to watch an episode of the office! damm words sticking in my head and making me say them twice them twice

*starts to watch episodes of the episode... tumble weed blows past several times before he takes out the tape and puts in alan partirdge tapes... Laughs immediatly and doesnt stop till 3 hours after the first episode has finished*

Enough said!

I watched about 2 hours of the original I'm Alan Partridge last night after you left, with the commentary on. There's one from Alan and Lynn and one from Steve Coogan, Armando Ianucci and Peter Baynham. I'm firmly in the Alan camp, the first series was honestly the funniest and most quoted programme I've ever seen, and the second series has so far been just as good. I realised last night that since the first series aired, there probably hasn't been a day gone by in my life where I haven't quoted some little insignificant Partridge line, or adopted an Alan-esque mannerism when saying something. Scary.

The Office was funny, very funny, but it wore off after a while. The David Brent character turned into a joke, when you just wanted to laugh at him. I preferred the first series, to be honest. And some Radio Times journalist previewing the first episode of the new Partridge series said Alan was copying things already done by David Brent - get it right, son!
