Two series of Phoenix Nights aired in 2001 and 2002. Whether it was Potter’s vase, Kenny’s stories, or Paddy’s pestering, the hilarious drama was gold!
It’s certainly a classic British comedy. In fact you could say, it’s not three bad!
You’re probably on this page to re-live the brilliant moments you’ve already enjoyed. So without further ado, here’s a collection of some of the funniest Phoenix Nights quotes from the best club in clubland:
- Brian – “It’s a family fun day man, there’s kiddies running around, they can’t go jumping up and down on a love-length!”
- Brian about Keith Lard – “Is he drawing a dog?”
- Kenny – “I’ve got special skin. Asbestos. The doctors are baffled. I’m a genetic freak me.”
