You absolutely need to react to the full episodes of Bottom. It’s absolutely hilarious, Rik and Ade are two of the funniest guys ever. It’s violent, crude, silly and downright hilarious.
I remember watching Bottom in the 90s when I was a young teenager. My grandparents were round visiting and my Mum was talking to my Gran as they were about to leave. So my Grandad stood there and watched Bottom for a few minutes with me. This was totally unlike anything that he would have watched at home with my Gran. I'll always remember the look on his face and the sound of him laughing as Rik and Ade went at each other. This brought me so much joy and I still think it's probably the funniest comedy show ever created. RIP Rik.
I saw Ade Edmondson playing Scrooge in The Royal Shakespeare Company Theatre last Friday (not-so-humble brag there from me 🤣🤣) and he was AMAZING, he could command the attention of the whole audience in a scene with loads of other actors by just pulling a facial expression - legend
Growing up as a teenager in the UK I used to love Thursday evenings when this would air on regular TV in late 90’s…absolute love Bottom and grew up on it. So glad you enjoy it even if you can’t fully show on your channel at least watch in private keep up the good work
Bottom is one of my most favourite comedies ever. In this chess game scene, they were missing a lot of pieces so obviously, the dynamo duo improvised and used other things for the missing pieces. This fight is one of my favourite fights that they have in the show.
I always thought of Bottom as a real life cartoon. "There's only one thing better than having a great play, and that's having two great plays." -"That doesn't make any sense, Oscar." "I know, none of my stuff does, you know. Nice bit of Biro by the way. Ta very much." R.Richard
Exactly, why don't the morons at YT understand what slapstick is? They are braindead and have no understanding of context in relation to violence. It's clearly slapstick and comical in Bottom, not threatening or nasty like in some films or TV shows.
Sorry if someone has already explained this. The reason for all those odd chess pieces is because they only have five left. And the reason why is Eddie has been stealing and selling the others because apparently each piece is carved from ivory and worth £65-£85.
Bottom was shown first time from 1991 to 1995 as 3 x 6 episode series. Plus they did 4 live stage shows based around the tv show and a movie where they are hotel owners called Guesthouse Paradiso
The Live Shows are epic where they interact with audience. Many have reacted to it. The Young Ones were the predecessor to Bottom with lighter brurality. Rick Mayall also appear several times as a guest actor as Lord Flashheart in Blackadder.
You can react to full episodes of this no problem. Tons of RUclipsrs have. It's not gory it's just proper old school British slapstick comedy. Bottom, The Young Ones and Filthy Rich and Catflaps are amongst the best British comedies eve created.
…..your joking aren’t you ? Can you just imagine the woke meltdown today from millennials watching the episode of the young ones where the policeman ( wearing sunglasses) grabs the guy ringing the doorbell telling him “ that’s white mans electricity your using “ ……..and then when the policeman takes off his sunglasses he apologises telling the guy “ I’m sorry , I thought you was a nigger “ !!!! ……….and also in the episode where Rik goes to phone Margaret Thatcher to tell her that he’s got an atom bomb and upon arriving at the phone box it’s covered in graffiti with the words “ wogs go home “ ! …………..the snowflakes of today wouldn’t be able to handle it at all !
If you liked this one, you'll love the Gas Man scene. Unfortunately, I can't find the full scene from start to finish here. Someone needs to send the whole thing.
Bottom is one of the greatest UK comedies of all time! I love "Gas", "Burglar" and "Holy" episodes. If you ever get a chance, check out their film " Guest House Paradiso".
You should probably check out Rik Mayall(RIP) and Ade Edmondson in their early days. They were in a double act together called The Dangerous Brothers and they were in the The Young Ones, one of my favourite comedy shows from the 1980s, about a group of students sharing a house. They were also regulars in the 'Comic Strip presents...' series.
RUclips needs to grow up. This was one of my favorite programs when I was about 9. You need to watch from the beginning to get the content. The dialogue is funny too.
Hello King. Just a thought about getting some 'Bottom' reactions for us fans; Your friend and ours Eclectic Beard posted a few a while back. Maybe ask him what problems, if any, he encountered. His reaction, in case you were wondering was "That was hilarious, I don't care who you are!"
Here's an even shorter clip of them and there's no violence between the two of them. If you're wondering where they are they're in their local pub and trying to obtain 'something for the weekend' - that's the term that a lot of barbers here in the U.K. used when it came to selling their customers condoms. ruclips.net/video/Nsk1mZ8DTPc/видео.html
yeah whooo bottom, you did a bottom reaction. Ive been asking for one of them for ages, well done. the thing about the game of chess and why Richie had various random pieces to play with at the start of the game is because unbeknown to him Eddie had found his antique chess set that he'd hidden inside the wall and sold them to buy drink. There are a few clips you could try that dont have the Eddie & Richie violence in but are still proper funny. The clip when Eddie pretends to be Death (not deaf) is a good one. The Bottom Live stage shows are on youtube, so they should be acceptable content for you to react to. Anyway it was good to see a Bottom reaction on your channel, thank you
Rik Mayall was something else, so much energy. Maybe not the best of our comedy writers but definitely up there with actors. I reckon Boomer would love Bottom, it is stupid, slapstick comedy at its finest and the live shows were especially hilarious and absolutely filthy 😆
It's a shame the clip started so late in the chess game. There's a good amount before that where they are picking all the pieces for chess etc which is hilarious.
This was great 90s entertainment, back when folks were not online being pansies and easily offended all the time. You should check their live shows on YT, when they go off character or forget the script the adlibs are fantastic.
Slapstick, silly, ridiculous, weird, and even sexism. But it was funny. It was one of the best comedies in the 90s. Rik and Ade were/are comedy geniuses. This was the comedy and many others I grew up on when I was a kid.
There needs to be a bit of context here, especially when it comes to the chess pieces. Eddy has been selling them off, surreptitiously, one by one for quite a while, with there only being a couple of pieces left. So, when the idea of having a game of chess came up, they had to substitute most of the pieces with other small items. The pawns, for examples, are frozen prawns. The Queen is a small potted cactus with a paper crown on it; one of the bishops is a Spiderman, the other a sausage. One of the knights is a plastic skeleton, and so on.. It just adds to the total ridiculousness of the situation.
I watched this show on tape, from being about 5 years old, id watch the tape every night, and it would be Bottom and Red Dwarf, id go sleep to it up until it was taken off Netflix a few years ago I have them on DVD but cba swapping discs haha Theres only 3 seasons sadly, but they did live shows too, which are just as good, it was like a family member had died when Rik Mayall passed on
One of the greatest comedy shows of all time... we saw one of the live Bottom shows (have to be carefuly typing that... ) and it was so funny.... very underestimated.... I struggle to explain to my skeptical family members why I think it is genius, but I think it is
Bottom is just them doing Tom and Jerry style violence there's no blood so youtube should be ok with that.EB did quite a bit of them a while ago perhaps chat to him.ok watching that clip much blood then lol
@@BadBoyV1 That's the one. I could only remember the paradiso bit in the title. I quiet liked the story for it, it has also been some 15 years since i last saw it though.
@@BadBoyV1 it’s a classic & seems to have a lot of the “Shaun of the dead” actors too, I wonder if the casting for it was based somewhat on their performances on Guest House Paradiso!?? 🤔😅
@@MikeyNottz It would be cool to think it was that movie that group them together to potentially give the foundation for Sean of the dead's casting line up lol
This is the second american reaction to bottom ive seen and on both times they didn't quite get the comedy innthe dialogue but as soon as they start smashing each other's brains in they literally wet themselves laughing 😂
Have to catch the whole episodes, like the Gasman, Christmas and Fairground ones. Eddie pawned half the chess set so that is why Ritchie was playing with Spiderman, prawns and a Ketchup.
Another programme staring the same actors I would like to recommend is called The Young Ones. It's a 1980s comedy. I think you can watch some full episodes on RUclips.
One of my favourite comedies of all time. My best friend looks like Eddie! There isn't a bad episode but the second episode of series 1 'Gas' is widely considered the best. Saw them live on the second tour and were amazing - still have my ticket. Was at work the day Rik died, a teenager had a text and didn't know who he was - I refused to believe it until I saw news for myself. RIP Rik Mayall.
Did you know that both Ryk and Mr Rottweiler had a cameo appearance in "an American werewolf in london". They play the 2 locals, playing chess in the village pub, I didn't recognise Ryk until he smiled at Brian Glovers joke.
You simply must watch the full 3 series of episodes of this classic program. You might actually have a heart attack from laughing though. Fair warning...
Having watched this episode of bottom, when boomer said at the start "I like chess so this should be interesting" ..... I thought to myself "hmmm that's one way to phrase it" 😁
In another show before he died Rik Mayall was Greg Davies Dad in a different comedy series lol, Davies was Gillbert in The Inbetweeners. Rik's sadly gone now died from a heart attack from him being diagnosed with epilepsy most likely sadly, was from when he rather stupidly got on a quad bike fell off and ended up and they'd feared he'd got brain damage. Typical Rik was taking the piss out of the situation lol in the live shows afterwards but.... gutted genuinely gutted Rik had me in bits on the floor in tears he was quite literally a genius with comedy lol.
Hey Boomer, Rik Mayl was actually knighted here in the UK by the queen, he was literally a true national treasure to british TV, very sweet kind caring man who sadly passed away a fair few years ago.
I absolutely loved Bottom, The Young Ones, and The Comic Strip Presents. All worth a watch. Rik Mayall was hilarious, and is truly missed. Adrian Edmonson still .acts, but has also done great cooking shows, which showed him travelling. all over the Uk
About time boomer bottom is awesome and violent 3 series and 6 live shows had the privilege to see these live in Manchester apolo bloody brilliant mate Mrs Boomer will like this as well great reaction pal
Look at the Bottom Live bloopers YT posts - They did numerous Theatrical tours which were put out as VHS videos back in the late 80's. The best bits are where Rik Mayall fluffs up his lines and they riff for a while.
Rik Mayall, bless his wee bum, was in the 1991 film Drop Dead Fred. I remember when he and Ade first started out in 20th Century Coyote and The Dangerous Brothers. Now, they really did get up to some mad s^it.
USA would never allow a comedy show like that. Too violent. Even though the 'violence' is fake. And that's in a country with roughly one mass shooting per month.
First & second season is absolute must see, crazy off the wall, I remember seeing it when in came out early 90s.. Rik Mayall was a one off… “Gas” is the episode that had fans taking for months lol
Fingers hilarious the think 1st one of series three when eddie's basically dressed as Edwina haha! "No we'd like to have two rooms if thats ok? Oh dear things not going swimmingly, never mind I think you'll find couples are rather nervous at this stage. No you don't understand I do not want to sleep in the same room as her, him, it!" 🤣 After he kept getting kicked in the goolies almost constantly eddie/edwina lol saying "Let me give you a tip rich, if you're ever pretending to be a lesbian keep your tackle very well hidden!" 🤣
You absolutely need to react to the full episodes of Bottom. It’s absolutely hilarious, Rik and Ade are two of the funniest guys ever. It’s violent, crude, silly and downright hilarious.
It’s like Father Ted on steroids.
That would have been an interesting crossover, Richie, Father Jack and Eddie.

Bottom 's Out (the camping episode) is a great episode to react to, or Finger where they go to the hotel where Eddie (Ade) is... 😂
Rick Mayall is still badly missed. It was such a shock when he died. He and AdeEdmonton were just so so funny together.
Rik Mayall was the only celebrity i ever shed tears over when they died. A true legend and genius.

I remember my octogenarian grandmother cracking up laughing at the accident episode.
To be fair if they grew up watching slapstick humour from the likes of Laurel & Hardy then you can see it’s pretty similar in most aspects !
Bottom never gets old, these 2 guys were just amazing together, R.I.P Rik Mayall.
The “Gas” episode has to be the funniest one ! Their interactions with the gasman and mr.Rottweiler are classics
Nah the episode “accident” where it’s Ritchie’s birthday is the funniest.
They're all funny
The camping trip is best
this ep i.e. culture is good
Evening mr Rottweiler
Bottom had 3 series , 5 live stage shows & Guest House Paradiso (movie)
All awesome👍

The Live Shows are epic where they interact with audience. Many have reacted to it. The Young Ones were the predecessor to Bottom with lighter brurality. Rick Mayall also appear several times as a guest actor as Lord Flashheart in Blackadder.

Full Eppisode of 'Gas'! It was shown in the early 90's on BBC, surely youtube can't be that harsh? lol
