I've never seen this interview. Remarkable to see, visually, the manic Rick whilst hearing the calm, thoughtful voice of the actor who played him. It's like a reverse possession.
To me, Mayall and Edmondson were Britain's best ever comic due. Neither was a straight man, they were both absolute masters of comedy, timing, and pretend physical violence. I think that Bottom is the funniest sitcom ever, and I can't believe it's over thirty years old, as it still seems so fresh and new. Only the in-universe references to things like politics, national shop chains that have now been extinct for decades, and now long gone TV presenters identify the program as being so old. But it's humour is absolutely timeless.
@@MaximilianonMars Well trouble is that we would have to get Corden into the same state so he can deliver the request for Rik to return personally .I'm OK with that to be honest.
I know it’s silly, I never met him and he’s been dead a while, but I really miss Rik. He was such a big part of my childhood and such a funny, talented and clearly a nice guy. There are so few like him.
Don’t normally have great things to say about celebrities in general but I really do miss this man I grew up loving everything that he did always put a smile on my face
The young ones and bottom were my childhood had cool parents I had the vhs’s at about 10 years old my little mates would come round because they weren’t allowed to watch 15+ tapes😂
High resolution imagery didn’t begin with digital cameras in the 21st century. Film has a far superior quality to anything digital has to offer and always has (though I think this clip was most probably recorded straight to video, not on film). It isn’t that recording resolution has improved, but rather the devices used to reproduce and display imagery, en masse.
British TV used the PAL video system instead of NTSC, which was used in the USA. The resolution of PAL was better than NTSC on general. Plus, the camera system used here was analog and was recorded straight to tape, so there was very little degradation (no edits or multiple dubs)
I often chuckle at comments like this. People think high resolution is a new, digital thing. This mentality is likely a product of consumer marketing. Put it this way, have you ever seen an old film? You know, on film?
I love Rik Mayall. He always brings me joy because my grandma said I reminded her of Rik in 'The Young Ones' and my blonde cousin reminded her of Vyvian 😂😊
Miss you! What a legend! You were on my lifetime bucket list to meet but never got a chance! Will be watching the Xmas episode of bottom tommorow! Gone to soon! Legend!!!
I used to LOOOOOOOOOOOVE watching The Young Ones when it first aired. Then he had a short lived variety short video program, also on MTV I think. Either way, I just now found out he died in 2014. And now in 2024 I’m quite saddened. RIP Rik.
Why do people say that? Such a waste? He will be remembered, he’s left a whole host of movies, TV shows, interviews, characters, etc. But it’s a “waste” because... why?
Rick was the funniest guy iv ever saw I used to laugh my ass of as a lad watching the young ones plus bottom especially the one were he cuts his finger off that is the bomb you will never get a funnyer guy than Rick R.I.P Rick ❤
To me his one of the funniest guys ever he didn’t even have to try to be funny there was just something about him .. sad they cut all his parts from Harry Potter .. still find bottom hilarious to this day

I never seen him talk properaly like not acting, he sounds so calm.
He's still a bit manic. I have to wonder if he's a bit coked up here.
Love that, he can also switch into that "fun" mode so fast! It's impressive.
And his real accent
He was so uncomfortable doing proper interviews, you can tell by how he’s sitting and fidgeting
Rick was a true legend. Taken way to soon. Miss you Rick. God bless ♥️🙏
RIP Rick. But if there is a heaven, he's up there creating mayhem!

When we heard you died,
The people broke down and cried.

Aww. Still miss ya, Rik.
Same
The day that I stop missing Rik will be the day that he turns up alive.
Rik was a legend while he was still alive. He and Ade were a formidable duo.
They were friends too

We lost Rik and we ended up with James Corden there's no justice in this world.😮
There is.....Corden went to the US.
@@sureshot8399 Let's hope he stays there.
Even if trading James for Rik wouldn't bring Rik back, we should still try!
@@MaximilianonMars Well trouble is that we would have to get Corden into the same state so he can deliver the request for Rik to return personally .I'm OK with that to be honest.

Miss this genius RIP Rick, thank you for the laughs
Rip Rik, coming up to ten years how time flies.
Irresistibly likeable...lovely man.
Iwestiable man
That smile. A lovely bloke. Rip 🙏

He was the choice for peeves in Harry Potter his scenes were cut though.
"Neil?! Are those lentels south african?!"
Everything that came out of Riks mouth was comedic gold lol. Rest in peace to a major part of my childhood❤
"Neil! How are you holding that flower pot up?!"
"What!! Like your trousers?!"
he was gorgeous, I still have a crush on him.
Likewise he was SO handsome.
That man needs a statue dedicated to him....he's a true British legend..
It would probably get "cancelled"...
I know I’m late to the party, but I was born and raised in his home town Harlow, and they do have an amazing mural of him on the theatre wall.
@@sirandrelefaedelinoge why?
😮id like to see a statue of the Young Ones all together, that's certainly one I could relate to!
There’s a seat plaque 😜
He has such a nice smile. I will always see him as drop dead Fred may he rest in peace. 🤍🕊️
What a legend not only a funny man but very clever! We miss you Rik
I miss Rik so much . Absolutely wonderful man and one of the funnist of all time .
I want to see this whole interview. He was adorable.
Still missing you darling Rik ❤️
One of my favorite shows as a kid.

Crazy that this video is from nearly 40 years ago. The resolution looks pretty good

Just look at a good quality film to Bluray of any old films.

Love seeing this side of Rik
My all time comedy hero
Lunatic ❤️
I have him as Rick tattooed down my right leg...the man's a god..
@@NevilleBamshu23 cool
Worthy of a tattoo
Legend. Glad I saw him live. Rik will live forever ♥️
This man will always have a place in my heart. The young ones was life changing for me. That might sound a little dramatic, but it’s absolutely true.
I loved the young ones in my comment I quoted some really funny scenes and Rik will always and forever be the peoples poet!
All hail, Rick Mayall! R.I.P. 👏👏👏👏👏
Rik is gonna live forever x love him so much x
God-bless him- RIP- a national treasure! -From Seattle
If you don't know Kevin Turvey check him out....RIP Rick thanks for the laughs.
RIP Rik. A truly brilliant comedian.
I was so lucky to have met him once on the tube. In retrospect I wish I had said more to him. You will be missed Peoples Poet 😢😊
Miss you! What a legend! You were on my lifetime bucket list to meet but never got a chance! Will be watching the Xmas episode of bottom tommorow! Gone to soon! Legend!!!
Legend
Neil, Neil, orange peel....Sadly missed, so many laughs...😏😳😳🇬🇧
He's brilliant, always will be. He'll live on forever! We love you, Rik!!❤️
Had no idea he was so well spoken! I remember watching The Young Ones as a child with my parents. Good times
such a legend. Not many 'celebrity' deaths hit me as hard as Rik's did. My childhood comedy hero
"Death on the toilet" LOL !!!
What a shitty way to go, well if you're gonna go I suppose 😂😂
Love u Rick miss you your a legand. Comic genius
I remember how this artist made me laugh when I a was a child. Just brilliant
What a beautiful talent human being...love him god bless you rik and your family
Rik...you were a genuine guy and extremely funny. You are sadly missed. RIP.
Loved vrick miss him loads❤
His intensity was dangerous. ♥️🇬🇧
Thank you for this video , really nice to see this great comedian, sadly missed ❤
I was 1. Love this guy
Even though he’s dressed as the character, you can tell just from the thumbnail he’s out of character. It’s so weird to hear him sound normal😂
He just finished a stand up routine as rik from the young ones.
GENIUS
Gone waaaay too soon. You will be missed but the laughter you bring will go on forever. Cheers 🍾
I was crying for a week rick I love you always ❤❤❤ true inspiration xx
Love this man, then now and always. 😊
A true love may Rick Rip 🙏😞
Legend and genius. I miss his great acting and humour very much.
Comedic genius!
Imagine if there had been a drop dead Fred 2 by now, or a flash heart spin off
.... or some of his much better work.
He seems like a really sweet bloke. Taken too soon but what a great early life he describes here. Sounds like he had a lot of fun.
We loved you Rik 💗 and we miss you deeply more 💗🙏 Thank you 🙏 ok, Neil Neil Orange Peel 💗🙏💗🙏
Legend. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Man Down isn't same without you 😭

RIP Rik 😢
Such talent..
Still miss him! ❤️🇦🇺
Luv you Rik! Flasheart forever!
WOOF WOOF
RIP
Can’t keep a straight face when you see this bloke. That’s the mark of a great comic.
Rest easy Rik. You live in in peoples smiles.
For me, Rik was so likable and entertaining because I just didn't know what was going to come out of his mouth. Truly missed x
Genius
He was 26 here! ❤️ Still can’t believe he’s gone
Pure genius.... will miss him forever ❤❤😢
I love him sm
RIP Rik
God I miss this bloke, absolute legend.
I had two comic genius heroes, growing up as a teenager, Rik Mayall was one of them, the other was Robin Williams. 2014 was a very dark year,for me!
Fvckin legend
Rick was so much fun! The man exuded hilarity ❤
Love him sooo much!! Eternal peace baby ❤❤
Iconic character. Rik had a few of those in him. ❤
Guy was a genius, there is nothing like Bottom.
We all still miss you rik we will always remember you

8 years, today, since he left… what a waste…
Mad to think it will be an entire decade in a couple of years time and it’s still a shock he’s gone

@@jaye8644 9th of June 2014. (The Limeys lose their minds if you put the month first)
Dude was more clever than people think...
I don’t think anyone has ever doubted Rik’s intelligence, the man was a one off
weird thing to say.
@@barrymore87what
@@Anthony_Joseph09 no one thought he wasn't clever.
In fact he would probably be regarded as quite intellectual.
Absolutely nobody thought Rik Mayall wasn't intelligent, quite the opposite actually.
