Richard Madeley complimenting a Scottish person for being articulate is today’s funniest facepalm

You’ll already be aware of Richard Madeley’s particular style of presenting, and how often he ends up being compared with Alan Partridge.

So you might already have an inkling of what to expect in this clip from ITV’s Good Morning Britain on Monday.

And yet – all the same – there’s nothing that can quite prepare you for the sheer next level Partridge that is the following 31 seconds.

The moment was spotted by @FernBrady among others on Twitter.

You gotta watch the live Alan Partidge show on ITV, Richard Madeley just complimented a Scottish person on being articulate, ahahahaha.

The man he was talking to was Scottish presenter Sean McDonald, who was trying to explain to Madeley how a strong accent can often lead to assumptions about your class background and education.

The funniest thing about this is that, Richard Madeley, without a hint of irony or sense of awareness, completely proves the Scottish person's point. A true Alan Partridge moment. https://t.co/f9covI5EOU pic.twitter.com/2hbxN53ypJ

Thoughts and prayers going out to Susanna Reid at this difficult time.

Richard Madeley would be the only person on the planet that AI would vastly improve.
