Alan Partridge - Sports reporter, 1994. Part 1 of 2.

[@richl6966]

"Dunno what that is". Classic.

[@bucephalus1635]

"Alan, either you've just had a fight with a fire engine or it's raining it's arse off out there" I love you Chris Morris

[@JohnLutherable]

first time I saw this, back in 94, I nearly died laughing at the bikes on top of the car part. First time Partridge came out and it was already legendary

[@twold4this]

I still smile and internally voice Partridge when I see cars transporting bikes! 😂😁

[@kooj22]

Couple of youngsters there, fooling around. Let’s hope that tomfoolery doesn’t escalate into blind, ugly violence.

[@robair67]

Possibly the one line that has made me randomly laugh out loud in public, at inopportune moments, more than any other (apart from "Captain, how soon can you land this plane? I can't tell. You can tell me, I'm a doctor. No! I mean I'm just not sure. Well, can't you take a guess? Well... Not for a couple of hours... You can't take a guess for a couple of hours?").

[@tobibaseball24]

Quite possibly the funniest line in the history of mankind

[@staercky]

In all the years I've watched The Day Today, I've never noticed until now that Alan says "He boings down...." He's a true professional!

[@starxtraders]

Don't know how anyone can not find this man funny....Alan, either you've had a fight with a fire engine or it's raining its arse off out there" Lovely stuff!!! Absolutely kills me this show does!

[@beastLVX]

Steve Coogan is such a mad genius!

We need sports reporters like this again. Alan, if yer listening, get back on the box. We need you.

[@abbarua7800]

Get back in the box, and back o' the net!

[@TheSimCaptain]

The problem is we already have commentators like this. They usually tell us the obvious, just reporting what we've already seen.

Chris' random misanthropic outburst are always hilarious. Coogan is brilliant in this, always surprises me how long Alan has been a character. In fact just watch the whole show, it's fucking awesome.

Alan Partridge isn't quite the same character in The Day Today as he became, you see glimpses of what's to come though.

[@jasonkey7413]

"...bangs his head on the board, innit. Textbook. Lovely." ... "comes down, bangs his head on the board, innit. Lovely!" Nothing makes me laugh like this does.

[@twold4this]

It's the unwarranted certainty of the "textbook" comment that is so Alan and therefore so funny!

[@jonnidark1986]

if you're old enough to remember the diver had hiv iirc (not sure if self aware at time) and all the other athletes freaked and got tested once discovered. and now more partridge cause that's depressing

[@william-uk]

The judges surely will give him… high marks for that.
