American Reacts to ALAN PARTRIDGE Meets The Milky Bar Kid REACTION

[@wayneharding6594]

I love the fact that you love our British humour so much, and I love watching your reaction vids to them :).

[@Vinny-du9de]

It's Simon pegg playing the milky bar kid. Never noticed that before

[@Picnicl]

He plays the Milky Bar Kid, not a Milky Bar.

[@Vinny-du9de]

@@Picnicl half asleep when I wrote it. You obviously knew what I meant. Fucking KZbin pedant.

[@Bats-7]

You won’t be disappointed with Mid Morning Matters , one of my favourite series of Alan Partridge 👍

Anyone at school with glasses and blond like me,were from then on was known as the milky bar kid

[@dazhigh9208]

OKLAHOMO !!!!!!!!! WTF that's amazing ill never see that the same again. Good upload King B .

[@wolfeflambe]

I saw Steve Coogan live in 1998 Oxford. Simon Pegg was his support that night along with Julia Davis. Simon was only really known for a cough syrup advert at the time so it was a surprise to see that guy from that advert on stage being funny. It was an incredible night. Definitely the funniest live performance from a comedian I’ve seen.

[@andywhitfield79]

You should check out the advert if only to give it context. The milky bar kid was the sort of kid that would have been beaten up at my school back then

[@eadweard.]

I dread to think what you'd have done to the Honey Monster.

[@anitahargreaves9526]

Still remember the song which we'd all join in and sing. No adverts make me do that today.

[@skipstopstart]

Am I alone in that I found them almost indistinguishable from Mars bars taste-wise?

[@SAMTYLER1974]

My best mate at primary school actually auditioned to be The Milky Bar Kid as he was blessed with pure white hair but sadly didn’t get the gig. He eventually became a policeman and his hair turned a light brown but I believe he still remains strong and tough if only on young offenders!

[@mr.a8315]

😅

[@malcy86]

Does he work for 'The Gene Genie'?

[@SAMTYLER1974]

@@malcy86 Alas, no, but great to finally get recognition regarding my online ID. Life on Mars was and still is one of the best TV shows ever …

[@timjackson1904]

Obviously 'not good enough'

[@Isleofskye]

What colour is his hair now?

[@joannedwyer-bc5py]

Cant believe ive never seen this but that absolutely hilarious 😅😅😅. The milky bars are on me ffs 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@justinneill5003]

Seven different kids have played the Milky Bar Kid in the advert at various times, the most famous being the original (Terry Brookes) the little blonde kid with glasses, 1961-1966. He’s now in his sixties, with 4 children plus grandchildren, living in Spain with his second wife, where he works as a gardener/handyman at a country club in Murcia.

[@boredweegie553]

This is a joke mate ,it's obviously Simon pegg 😂

[@justinneill5003]

@ Yes I kind of figured that this was a skit with Simon Pegg; was just adding some background info regarding the real Milky Bar Kid.

[@WinstonSmith19847]

The Milky Bar Kid looked like a young John Denver but without the beautiful singing voice.

[@robertcreighton4635]

Or crashing into a mountain ⛰️

[@newuk26]

Definitely check out the adverts for the context. They were very innocent and quite wholesome, which makes this all the funnier

[@natmanprime4295]

great stuff, great reaction! alan is an excellent charcter, a well observed stereotype of the british boomer

[@mr.a8315]

Oh my! I've been recommending this clip for a bit. So excited to see, great thumbnail pic. 😅 Will watch as soon as I'm home. 😀 Another very excellent one-off Partridge clip that isn't in any of his shows is; Alan Partridge vs Tony Malony (played by the fab Peter Kay). It's here on KZbin, about 6 minutes long.

[@mr.a8315]

Excellent, darkly hilarious. 'Live n Lewd' (1994) is probably Steve Coogan's best live show. He appears as several characters, some you haven't seen yet. Two of them are job-dodging lay-about Paul Calf and his tarty sister Pauline Calf. And the show ends with an Alan Partridge section. Another live stand-up show of Coogan's that's very good is called 'The Man Who Thinks He's It' (1998). I've seen Coogan live on his 1998 UK tour (The man who thinks he's it tour), Simon Pegg was part of the stage team. It was a brilliantly funny gig. I still have the souvenir I bought from the merch stall there. A Tony Ferrino* condom. *Ferrino is another Steve Coogan character. A womanizing, self-loving crooner from Portugal. Kind of a cross between Englebert Humperdink and Tony Montana. Shout out again for a 7 min Partridge clip that isn't in any of his shows. It's here on You Tube. 'Alan Partridge vs. Tony Malony (played by Peter Kay'. It's comedy gold, set at a boxing event.

[@vicky_webcatuk]

I think we are so massively lucky to have Alan Partridge, he's kept me laughing most of my adult life. Steve Coogan is my absolute hero, he's made my life way more funny than it would have been otherwise.. he's the best. ❤

[@marcelrenes2435]

This is superb Brittish comedy! Greetings from The Netherlands.

[@kenford4798]

The Milky bar kid. He looked like a young John Denver.

[@OneTrueScotsman]

It's weird, I thought the Milky Bar kid was an American commercial. It was only recently when I saw the advert again that I realised they had British accents. It's probably because I just remember its western setting and the sheriff, etc.

[@eadweard.]

I thought sheriffs were a Scottish thing, originally.

[@barriehull7076]

All the uk ie the sherriff of nottingham in robin hood.​@@eadweard.

[@thedukeofnuts]

This is called the Mandela effect.

[@OneTrueScotsman]

@@eadweard. They are, but the advert displays as quite American.

[@eadweard.]

[@rcm616-j5t]

Simon Pegg plays a mostly serious character in The Boys

[@broBobH23]

How have you not done “I’m Alan Partridge” series yet? Pure genius

[@mr.a8315]

Yes, he's done that. 👍👍 It's on his Patreon. The monthly fee for access to all of KB's full length tv shows on his Patreon is only £3.60 per month (about $5 - $6). There are a lot of great shows there.

[@michaeljohn1978]

He literally says he's watched it in this video

[@timjackson1904]

I died laughing when Alan Partridge first came on, but when the wife and I spoke to the in laws, they all said he was terrible not realising it was a comedy. The farmers revenge with the cow sticks in my mind.

[@eadweard.]

It has a laugh track.

[@DirkGently1972]

Alan Partridges ’egg analogy’ is hilarious, as is his Kate Bush medley 😂😂

[@wurble]

Great to see you're such a fan of Alan Partridge! The 'Welcome To The Places Of My Life' and 'Scissored Isle' specials are an absolute must. There's a few Comic Relief specials too. I have one uploaded.

[@hulldanfan]

Dan Dan Dan Dan ...

[@alexmousley7213]

Great to see your reactions to this fabulously dark comedy creation- Alan Partridge's inept and insentive interviewing style so well done. Someone has made a compilation of UK daytime TV hosts who must be who Partridge was partially based on. Simon Pegg was only recognisable by some of the way he smiled initially, but his role was so differnt in this to what he normally plays, I didn't recognise him at first.

[@davidpascoe3863]

I'm sure you can see a lot of the milky bar adverts on you tube.

[@Rayshard.Oblique777]

You should have a look at Simon Pegg in the 'Prince and the Jockeys' sketch from 'Big Train'. Surreal Pythonesque British humour at its finest...

[@stevenknight1198]

Yes it's an old advert advertising a white chocolate bar called milkybar I still remember it

[@patrickbriscall7934]

The Milkybar Kid was wholesome and cute and the embodiment of the Lone Ranger in the body of an angelic six year old blond kid with John Denver glasses.

[@h4r4]

You need to see the Trip. Comedy with Coogan and Rob Brydon. They go round England eating in fine restaurants while being hilarious, the Queen would love it too.

[@C19732]

Your right he's on rough times, he's living in Stoke.

[@Strange_Club]

Reece Shearsmith is always good to watch in various roles too. Has he seen League of Gentlemen yet? (Shouldn't be ruined by watching clips first)

[@bonyman1603]

He definitely should react to that!

[@garethmorgan3665]

Loved the video mate . It's always a pleasure to meet a fellow Partridge fan. You took the words out of ny mouth, Steve Coogan is a legit comic genius. Hope you're enjoying Mid Morning Matters. Be sure to check out the Podcast From the Oasthouse, it's absolutely fantastic!

[@lukebarton5075]

Yeah “From the Ousthouse” really some of the funniest Partridge out there. It’s a medium that definitely suits Alan’s broadcasting background.

[@markjones127]

You could have a glance at a Milky Bar Kid ad for context but they weren't particularly funny or worth reacting to, I'm glad you enjoyed this anyway Boomer, it is a great sketch! Oh and I've just finished my secretarial duties for the day going through the comments and telling people you've already reacted to the shows they're recommending! 🤣

[@jaimemurphy2208]

Remember when Alan Partridge took on the News of the World?

[@bubgee1]

The Milky Bar Kid had a little toy gun as part of his kit. This was what he pointed at Alan as he’d been given it by Alan along with the hat 🤣

If you want to see Simon Peg in a serious role. He is in an episode of Dr Who. 'The long game' S.1 Ep.7. It works well as a stand alone episode. You would not need to have seen Dr Who before.

[@SimonWattsWILDPresentationsUK]

YOU HAVE TO DO 'SPACED' - Simon Pegg breakthrough series. Yes, the begining was shouty.

Partridge/Coogan live are great shows and well worth watching.

[@Omaru1982]

how many are there, I remember seeing part of strategem at my brother's last year and I went to a live show in probably... 2011 where the first half was alot of his older characters like Mike Calf, Duncan Thickett and Tommy Saxondale.

[@FusionTrusion-tw7wg]

You should check out the comedy series called Truth Seekers starring Nick Frost, Malcolm McDowell and Simon Pegg

[@jakell99]

Has KB reacted to Knowing Me Knowing You? He seems to know the lore but I haven't seen any videos. I always thought that KMKY was better than 'I'm Alan Partridge' if only because it sets up the necessary character arc. It's also got a fairly tight structure, whereas a lot of IMP seemed half-improvised..

[@markjones127]

Yeah he's done it on Patreon, he's done KNKY, IMP and is currently doing Mid Morning Matters

[@susangarvey9415]

My brother in law looked like the Milky Bar Kid when he was a kid, complete with the plaster on the nose bit on his NHS glasses. Wherever he went kids used to shout "The milky bars are on me". He grew up to be a mean old bastard and still everyone takes the piss out of him and call him "The Milky Bar Kid". I however call him something completely different and unrepeatable here, even our kids used to bully him!

[@djmull63]

[@leedsalex]

[@vurttv6415]

I went to school with one of the milky bar kids from the adverts.

[@Guest-u5c]

The milky bar kid is tough and strong, the milky bar kid just cant go wrong, the milky bar kid only eats whats right, thats milky bar , there sweet and white, the milky bars are on me. The Aussie version of the ad.

[@williamevans9426]

If memory serves, the UK version went something like, 'The Milky Bar Kid is strong and tough, and only the best is good enough, the creamiest milk, the whitest bar, the goodness that's in Milky Bar. ... The Milky Bars are on me! ... Hurray!' (The rhyming of 'bar' with, well, 'bar' in lines four and five was, I'm afraid, inexcusable, even for a child watching the ads!!) 🤠😉

[@mikemoore4033]

Pegg was pretty good as Watson to Benedril Cumbersnatch’s Sherlock in the BBC series.

[@Reevesy791]

There's another great interview with Simon Pegg playing a character living with HIV and trying to bring awareness against the stigma, with Alan being his usual insensitive self, some of the lines from that were actually used in this interview so I'm not sure which was filmed first

The only reason Steve Coogan chose the milky bar kid is cause the adverts were rubbish and it was typical that Alan Partridge would choose something like that to do an interview about.

If you like Clarkson and Top Gear, you'll probably also like this show made the year before the new Top Gear started. It's presented by Clarkson and produced by the same guy who produced Top Gear & The Grand Tour, so it has a very similar feel and humour: kzbin.info/aero/PLKh64mbVN0Yk-eVBw98fE1F7tSy7lpS5M
