How Dare You!: Max And Paddy Notebook Jotter

Product Information

Badass Longcoat: Billy the Butcher wears one of these. He also keeps a poster of Blade II in his bedroom, another Badass Longcoat wearer. Upon being sent to prison for stealing a school bus full of children (see Big Damn Heroes), Max and Paddy face the unpleasant ordeal of a rectal examination to ensure they're not smuggling anything into the prison.

Roguish Romani: Gypsy Joe, played by Mrs. Brown's Boys actor Brendan O'Caroll. Supports the lads in stealing a widescreen TV from a supermarket centre. Oh, noooo! What you doin'? What have you got that on for? Ah, it's on a plate for you! (Paddy) Why you puttin' the plasma on? (Max) You've got your ways of entertainin' women and I've got mine. and I say to him "Television's Bob Carolgees"' MUSIC: Let's Hear It For The Boy by Denise Williams Right. Psychopathic Manchild: Apart from being murderously violent, Billy the Butcher spends time engaging in trivial debates with Paddy over correctly guessing the theme tunes to popular TV shows, where Paddy insists on going by Exact Words including the creators as well as the show titles. Apparently, he wasn't much better as an actual child, stabbing his careworker 18 times with a potato peeler for making him play with a jigsaw puzzle that he didn't like.Waxing Lyrical: When Max finally meets his long lost son Daniel, he attempts to give him some meaningful advice and ends up accidentally quoting Father & Son to him. Daniel lampshades this. Tina has an offscreen one in Episode Four that's both intentional and accidental. She tells the Police why Max and Paddy stole a school bus full of children (Max was trying to meet his long lost son), which gets them released from prison but (more immediately) gets them pulled out of the exercise yard just as Raymond The Bastard and cronies are approaching them with the intention of savagely beating and quite possibly killing them. Can't Hold His Liquor: Max accuses Paddy of this in the first episode but he contends that he must have been spiked. The revelation about the girls they took home means that this very likely was the case. A variant of this happens at the end of the same episode after Max and Paddy finally get some speakers for their TV and Paddy puts on his "Charlie's Anals" DVD. Though Paddy doesn't get very far before the volume wakes Max up.

Green-Eyed Monster: Billy the Butcher is murderously jealous of Paddy for replacing him as Max's bouncing partner. Seinfeldian Conversation: Max and Paddy have these fairly regularly. Especially when they're on the road. Brian: Sponge and a bit of jam. ( Beat) What do you want, son? It's real life, not the frigging Shawshank Redemption.What Happened to the Mouse?: In the last episode of Phoenix Nights, Max and Paddy take off in the motorhome because the woman who paid to carry out the murder they faked has discovered the truth and will be sending people after them. She doesn't appear to be doing that anymore. Soon, their old Phoenix Club boss Brian Potter (played by Kay) unexpectedly comes to visit, along with a cake, announcing that he's organising several events to help speed up their release. They reject him, not wanting a high-profile campaign ruining their chances of release. Potter fails to listen, and the whole wing later see him on the news talking about 'the doormen' Max and Paddy: thus revealing their stories as lies. A big fight is about to break out between Raymond and his henchmen against Max and Paddy. However, the fight is prevented by a prison officer telling Max and Paddy to come with him. The episode concludes with Tina, Max's ex-love, admitting to the authorities that Daniel is actually Max's son and he was acting under stress when he stole the bus. The pair are released, having their sentences reduced to community service, and get revenge on Brian Potter by informing the Home Office that there is an outbreak of anthrax at his club. We find out in this episode that Max's full name is Maxwell Bygraves, a jokey reference to the veteran British entertainer Max Bygraves.

Luxury Prison Suite: Max and Paddy get one complete with duvets, a box of Terry's All Gold chocolates, and satellite TV after making out that they are rich gangsters and promising Raymond The Bastard 60% of their non-existent loot. Heroic Sacrifice: Tina is determined to keep the secret that Max is Daniel's father because it will destroy her family, despite that it means Max and Paddy being in prison because her going to the police and corroborating their story will reveal everything. Eventually, she goes to the Police and gets Max and Paddy released at the cost of keeping her secret, as well as finally letting Max meet Daniel after his release. Max in turn makes his own heroic sacrifice by not telling Daniel that he is his father, and letting Tina's family remain intact. Do It Yourself" Theme Tune: The theme song was written by Toni Baker and Peter Kay, and borrowed heavily from the theme to B.J. and the Bear.

Brian Potter squeezes a few indignant utterances of his signature phrase: "I don't know if you haven't noticed but I'm disabled" into his short cameo in Episode Four. Parallel Porn Titles: Paddy owns a DVD of Charlie's Anals and later appears in a film called Willy Wanker and the Chocolate Factory.

I am proud that once again our communities are pulling together to support our vulnerable residents.” Read more: Hypocrite: When Max reveals that their new TV has no speakers, Paddy angrily calls Gypsy Joe a "typical thieving gyppo" and is glad he's eating the grapes they brought him for an injury they caused while heaving him off a bridge so they could escape with the TV he'd just helped them steal.

Enemy Eats Your Lunch: Pepe eats the cake that one of the friendlier inmates' daughter gave to him as a warning that he's due to pay collection money to Raymond the Bastard. An Offer You Can't Refuse: Raymond makes one with Max and Paddy for his share of the (fictitious) treasure they're pretending to have stolen. New survey reveals almost half of all British households were ‘too scared to put the heating on’ last winter Paddy's cellmate in Episode Four. He either thinks he actually is Cliff Richard or just has a disturbing love of him; looking like him, having a painting of him on the wall surrounded by candles, and singing Millennium Prayer to it all night.
