GF Comedy Wars R1 - Porridge vs. I'm Alan Partridge

[Crazyhorse7778]

''That was Big Yellow Taxi by Joni Mitchell, a song in which Joni complains they 'Paved paradise to put up a parking lot', a measure which actually would have alleviated traffic congestion on the outskirts of paradise, something which Joni singularly fails to point out, perhaps because it doesn't quite fit in with her blinkered view of the world.''

 

Pure class.

[Pdool]

 

"Ders more to Oiland dan diss".

 

"DAN."

 

Alan Partridge for me. I love Porridge but there's too many funny things that stick out from I'm Alan Partridge.

[TheBitch]

It's Partridge.

[RedKnight]

Partridge, satire and surrealism at its finest.

[Acid]

'I'm going to be back on the television, did, did you used to watch my show?'

'Oh yes, loved it haha'

'AAAHHHAAAAAAAA!'

*confused look* 'hmm'

 

'Guess which one of you two I'm about to have sex with now?'

 

'Micheal you're hanging around with a man who uses a plural term for a singular vehicle!'

[Strontium]

Every minute of Partridge was genius, and you could sit here and quote it for hours.

[Remmie]

Loving the turnaround.

 

Cashback!

 

In off the red!

[Crazyhorse7778]

'Lynne, I'm not driving a mini metro'

 

'They've rebadged it, you fool!'

[Strontium]

Partridge has "Bounced Back" in this poll.

 

Needless to say, he had the last laugh.

[Trumo]

Partridge just edges it, since I've only seen about 5-6 episodes of Porridge in full. Just shows how good Porridge was for it to be that close.

[Mendoza]

Anyone who doesnt vote for Partridge is

[ElNino_9_TheKid]

I'm Alan Partridge gets my vote, not even close in my mind.

 

Loving the turnaround in the poll.

[sh#t waffle]

It's close, but Partridge edges it for me.

[BCM]

Very hard one to call. As love them both.

 

Porridge gets my vote though, my favourite comedy ever. Ronnie Barker was an absolute genius

[Dan Vito Corleone]

No, no , no, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

 

I cannot believe something as timeless as Porridge is going to get dumped out by Steve cunting Coogan.

[L19red]

Anyone who voted Partridge is either too young to remember just how good porridge was or has got fucking awful taste.

 

when the Beeb did this poll Partidge finished at number 42 just behind birds of a feather and bread. Porridge was in the top 10 just behind yes minster and fawlty towers. The GF is fucked up if it votes for partridge.

[King Emlyn]

Just couldn't split them, abstaining me.

[stevebaby]

I voted for Partridge (by a whisker) but I'm filled with doubt now.

[WrongIslander]

They are both brilliant but Porridge is a timeless classic that has been passed down from generation to generation and transcends all kinds of boundaries. Partridge is a modern day funny show that is excellent for what it is but it isn't PORRIDGE.

 

Coogan himself would probably be embarrased by the turn around in this poll.

That beeb poll was clearly a fucking disgrace, voted for by massive cunts.

 

This is the real poll and Partridge is rightly winning.

[razor]

Porridge is excellent with a superb cast and brilliant scripts. I even like the film.

 

Partridge was excellent in Knowing Me Knowing You on Radio 4, and only alright beyond.

[Faustus]

Partridge. Just.

 

Crying shame that it looks like an early exit for Porridge. Great programme.

(If you don't wanna flick through the pages, partridge is 3rd, Fletch(who?) is nowhere.

[Hand Shandy]

Another horrendously tough choice. Neither deserve to fall at the first hurdle.

 

Porridge.

 

No, Partridge.

 

No, wait, Porridge.

 

Arrrggghhhhh!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm sticking with Porridge.

Must be foolproof then... If you asked my granny what's better between IAP and Bread, she'd say Bread. But then she's about 80 and hasn't got a clue about comedy, like most of the people who voted in that poll it seems...
