Not too laugh out loud but I enjoyed it. The impression-off was the best bit.

There are so many quotable lines I'm not going to bother. I enjoyed the first episode of The Trip, but this unequivocally proves who's boss. Partridge 4EVA.

pleased it's fifteen mins too. thought it was going to be ~5. there's not going to be much plot to speak of if they're stuck in the studio, but still.

Didn't think it was great apart from the condiment bit. Don't like the sidekick.

"It was just a Japanese saloon car, me, and The Very Best of Deacon Blue". Argh, must... resist... quoting..
Good stuff though. The business with Alan on the bike was the only part I wasn't so keen on.

this was great, not perfect but plenty of good smart laughs. i thought the trip was bloody awful though. brydon and coogan just don't work well together. it always descends into a not particularly amusing set piece of coogan snapping at a faux-naif brydon hamming it up. after coogan's universally panned live show last year and his shitty appearance on CYE (interesting how there are very very few people who coogan can gel with in a comedic sense) i thought he'd completely lost it but i'm pleased how MMM has disproved that.

I've just started "Knowing Me, Knowing You" and it's brilliant in a kind of objective way but I'm not sure I can handle it if it's all like the first episode :(

listened to the first hour or so and yeah, really really good. I can't imagine reading the text alone would be anywhere near as good

halfway through and starting to think the audiobook format suits him more than anything. it is hilarious, i keep bursting out laughing in public when listening to this.

I've listened to about half of the book (driving to the Grand Canyon from Vegas and back, was a good idea to bring it) and it's really great. It's like 7 hours of proper new material, really.Best thing ever: after listening to a few hours of this, I open 'Infinite Jest' and read "my chest bumps like a dryer with shoes in it". XD
