Alan Partridge or The Office- which is better?

[russelldust]

Having been a Partridge fan for years I'm starting to think that maybe The Office is funnier- any thoughts?

[James]

Both excellent in their own right

 

Totally different types of comedy

[Mad_Clubber]

They are very different types of comedy and both are funny as but imho The office is better!

[Louise]

the office, alan partridge is not my sorta thing

[russelldust]

It was rather sad but when I took some time out and went travelling the person I missed most was Alan Partridge...

 

... funnily enough my relationship with my girlfriend didn't survive that revelation!

 

There's yet another top 100 thing going on on the bbc- comedy this time- I'm hoping to god something like Dad's Army doesn't win.

 

My top five British comedies:

1. Fawlty Towers

2. The Office

3. Alan Partridge

4. The New Statesman (Rik Mayall as Alan B'Stard)

5. Porridge

 

Comedy genius award- Chris Morris for 'The Day Today' and 'Brass Eye'.

[Mr Moo]

Non, there both shite (IMO).

it takes a brain to get it...lol

[Ikon]

Tough decision!

 

Infact it's impossible, they are both equally as good!

 

Little Britain is doing it fo me at the min though! quality!

[James]

Must admit i'm getting fed up of Fools & Orses - the twats are milking it waaaay too much. Hence why Faulty is back at the top of my list again

 

I would do a top 5, but then I'd have to do a top 10, then a top 5 films etc..

[Jarve]

You shoulda stuck up a poll.

 

Yeh I reckon on the office, it just delivers the humour in a drier way.

 

 

Tell you what though, the partridge guy (4got his real name ) was well funny in that film about the hacienda n bez n all that lot. Waht was it called now> Av 4got, jesus last weekend has fried my brain...

You probably have to have worked in an office at some point to appreciate just how realistic some of the characters are! Honestly, the number of characters in that program that are uncannily like people I've met at past workplaces (or at university) is uncanny!

 

Did anyone see the Xmas special? I thought the final episode was fantastic.

 

My top five comedies goes something like:

 

1. The League of Gentlemen

2. Father Ted

3. The Office

4. Red Dwarf

5. The Day Today

[James]

Sorry Andy - League Of Extraordinary Gentlement was SHITE !
