Agreed - and it was through Coogan's promotion of him that Brydon has got where he is today..... being walked out on by Jack Dee's audience.
In about 1990 I saw Steve Coogan, Jeremy Hardy and Jack Dee for £1.99 on the same bill. Bargain

Coogan - Brydon's got one basic character in different situations (even Supernova was basically Geoff given brains and moved to the outback). Coogan has had the balls to experiment with different characters and TBH I think that, when he gets it right, he's just funnier than Brydon. Partridge is a work of genius, esp the meeting with the producer after the 1st season of KMKY tanks and he meets him for lunch and ends up begging...too painful and funny, but for me Coogan's best character is Gareth Cheeseman -

The foot on the spike moment in the last series makes me laugh every single time.

I've always figured one of the reasons why the first series of Alan Patridge was so good was that after the failure of Tony Ferino..(sp), Coogan had a certain amount of baggage to get off his chest.. particularly with regard to BBC commisioning editors..
Anyway.. if you think Brydon's a one trick pony watch 'Human Remains'.

I thought Tony Ferino came after Partridge.

the first Partridge TV series was just a remake of the radio shows from the early 90s .

Who is the funnier comedian?
Steve Coogan - The Day Today, Knowing Me Knowing You, I'm Alan Partridge, Parole Officer, 24hr Party People
Rob Brydon - Marion and Geoff , The Keith Barret Show, Director's Commentary plus loads of scene stealing cameos in stuff like I'm Alan Partridge and Black Books
I'll start things off by saying...
Even though Coogan has the more impressive body of work and is definitely more established I would have to say that imvho Rob Brydon is the more natuarally funny comedian. So, my vote goes to Rob Brydon.
Rob Brydon is not in the slightest bit funny.
The JR show was a bit cringey, they were desperately trying to outdo one another in impressions and Coogan was being a dick as usual hogging the space on the settee and generally trying to take over the conversation. To be fair, he looked uncomfortable and as if he had a lot to prove with RB beside him.
SC was the king of the comedy castle (AP would be proud of that one!) but imo AP was the pinnacle and nothing else has topped it, same as M&G was Brydon's best creation but Brydon is flavour of the month. I think SC knows it too...
