To think, millions upon millions of Americans have never even heard of, let alone experienced the majesty of Alan Partridge.

Watch The Trip, which are a series of films Jimmy referenced. Steve and Rob Brydon are master impressionists, and they basically spend the duration of those films just making each other laugh with their competing impressions.

Of all the incredible rolls Steve has played, one of my favorites is his portrayal of Hades in Percy Jackson. A small role in an average movie, but he was perfect.

"Hence Percy Jackson."

The audience gave him NOTHING for that impression. I am beside myself. It was perfect.

Just thinking the same thing. It's perfect, especially when his voice cracks like that. The audience are just...baffling. I don't understand what's wrong with them.

"The reason the super rich are super rich, is because the super poor are super poor"... such a simple anecdote, but damn that hit me

[@smyffmawzz]

It hit me too ..What a load of Bullshit , i thought .from the multi millionaire champagne socialist ..

[@veganvvarrior]

smyffmawzz value of a fortune is based on what others have. If everyone have 10 million then the value of 10 million is nothing, but if one person have a billion and 100 people have nothing then, you probably understand. Everyone can’t be rich. Plus the way capitalism works (hint, it’s in the name) is one person owns something and gets richer on others behalf. Those people might also get enough to be able to save, but they are not getting the value worth from their work. If they would, capitalism wouldn’t exist.

[@DaSkonk]

@@smyffmawzz oh shut up, you absolute bootlicking tool!

[@smyffmawzz]

You don't know what you are talking about .you seem jealous and envious . Like most socialists .

[@Picnicl]

Smyffmawzz, there is absolutely little meaningful connection between Coogan slowly accumulating a relatively comfortable lifestyle through making pieces of entertainment for a few decades and the vast riches some of the super rich make due to exploiting, in living wage terms, the work of people in far flung countries.
