I'll tell you what, I like The Other Guys for two reasons. The first is the joke in the beginning when Samuel L Jackson and the Rock jump of a roof and die while believing themselves invincible. Which is stupid, but it's so completely absurd that I find it hysterical. Most of the rest of the movie is pretty bad, there's a lot of forced jokes, a lot of scenes that feel very SNL. Some of the jokes between the two leads are okay, most of them are bad.
The second reason I like the movie is that I like everything I've ever seen Steve Coogan in (which is just The Indian in the Cupboard, Night at the Museum, Hot Fuzz, The Other Guys, and Shepherds and Butchers). I just like that man. Don't know why. Don't know anything about him. He could be awful. He's british and an actor so there's a pretty good chance that he's a pedophile TERF member of the landed gentry. But fuck me if I don't love the man.
If you like Steve Coogan that much, you might like the newer Alan Partridge TV show.
He plays a satire of your generic TV personality. It's very british TV humour. I didn't really like the Alan Partridge movie but I liked the TV show. It's a character he's been doing for decades but I haven't seen much of other than those two things.
Greed starring Steve Coogan is a thinly veiled parody of a British commercial fashion boss who's name eludes me right now. Lots of people didn't like it but I thought it was great. Quickly paced and often times absolutely silly.
This Time by Alan Partridge is good too - it's a TV series recent parody of a shithead BBC TV personality.
Same goes for The Day Today.
I've never watched full seasons through but the shows are at least worth a few clip binges on YouTube.
