1. Stephen Fry and Rik Mayall were appearing in a play together - then Stephen had a breakdown and ran away to Belgium without telling anyone. 2. At the end, Rik was doing an impression of 1970's sitcom character 'Rigsby' from 'Rising Damp' (Miss Jones...etc) and 'Eddie' acted as if he was doing an impression of another 70's sitcom actor, Reg Varney and complemented him as a backhanded way of saying how bad Rik's Rigsby impression was
Very well explained. I remember Stephen Fry left doing a play or something all those years ago then had like a mental breakdown or something....but never knew it was to Belgium.
Funnily enough the play Rik and Stephen were doing was named Cell Mates.@@tardeliesmagic
I thought it was during the time Blackadder was being filmed.
Rigsby was played by Leonard Rossiter, who (I keep forgetting) played a role in Stanley Kubrick's film _2001: A Space Oddessy_
This isn't the recording of the sitcom on BBC they toured every so often
The passing of a celebrity is generally not something which affects me. I think that may be because they're usually not ingrained into the fabric of who I am. But to this day I still find it incredibly difficult to comprehend that Rik isn't here. As a '90s kid growing up watching his comedy and just appreciating his writing and acting, he showed me that we never have to grow up. Life shouldn't be without him. Bollocks.
The only other celeb that affected me when he passed was Lemmy. Fucking Lemmy died? That should not have been possible.
Who else felt they had lost a childhood friend when Rick passed? Rip to a comedy genius ♥️🙏
The world has been darker since he left.
only celeb death I cried at 😢
@@nope66755 I feel you.. it saddens me to this day. I was born in 79 and he was in a LOT of TV i watched growing up
I grew up with Rik constantly making me laugh through my teenage years and into my adulthood, keeping the kid alive in me. Ridiculously sad, it's still hard to believe. Missed by all x
I onow what you mean, I was born in 74 and grew up watching Rik. He was was ultimate scene stealer as he proved in Blackadder even in Jonathan Creek which is about as serious as he got he was great. Woukd love to see the scenes he filmed for Harry Potter they cut.
Rik and Ade started these live shows after the success of the TV Sitcom. They toured the country performing the same Live show at several theatres, recording one performance for VHS / DVD release. The video you're watching is a cut of the bloopers from the first 3 live show tours.
There's a few Bottom Live shows.
And a couple of TV sitcom seasons (or Series as we'd say in the UK)
There was also a film, Guest House Paradiso.
The Sitcom, called 'Bottom', was aired in the mid 90s and came after Rik and Ade had become household names from being in The Young Ones and Filthy, Rich and Catflap etc. they were also known as The Dangerous Brothers.
What you're watching here are the bloopers from all the live shows edited together, they're 'mistakes'
But, what a lot of people don't know is that Rik and Ade wrote in a lot of the mistakes into the script because they knew they'd get massive laughs. like Eddie telling the crowd he was born in Southampton, he wasn't, he told every crowd he played in front of that ue was born there.
Rik Myall - is one of the greatest Comedians of my life time and I miss him everyday. He'd pop up in all kinds of shows and always steal every single scene.
"But, what a lot of people don't know is that Rik and Ade wrote in a lot of the mistakes into the script because they knew they'd get massive laughs. like Eddie telling the crowd he was born in Southampton, he wasn't, he told every crowd he played in front of that ue was born there."
I remember learning they did this for the first time. I had been at their first night in Nottingham for the 2001 tour, and the second night was the one recorded for the home release. Seeing them repeating mistakes ("slidle slidle slidle") did take a little of the sparkle out of it, but fuck it it made us laugh and that was the point!
Yes, all bottom episodes were recorded in front of a live audience. However these stage shows had a much bigger audience of thousands. The normal studio-recorded episodes would've had an audience of a few hundred. That's the thing with British sitcoms. Every time you hear a laugh track on a British sitcom, it is always real. I don't think there's a single British sitcom with a fake laugh track. If there is one, it's always live. If it's a sitcom unable to be filmed in front of a studio audience, they'll show the finished show to an audience afterwards (a live screening) and record the laughter that way. Either that, or there's no laugh track at all, as with The Thick of It or Afterlife.
They're often recorded to tape then shown to an audience and that is recorded as. Bottom was one of those cases. Laughter tracks are utterly fraudulent and British audiences (rightly) hate them - there have been a few though.
"Several tens of thousands"? Apparently they were recorded at the Mayflower Theatre, which has a capacity of 2,300.
@@eadweard. Right you are! Corrected
Red Dwarf had a laugh track for one of the series.
Reg Varney is an actor that was on a programme called On The Buses, but he was doing an impression of Leonard Rossiter or Rigsby from a programme called Rising Damp. Both programmes are a good watch.
Second that!
Oh, I hate you, Butler. Oh, I do hate you, man.
I'd agree Rising Damp is worrth a watch - Leonard Rossiter was a class actor who had a flare for comedy acting. I felt On The Buses was pretty dire, and very much would only be entertaining to people stumbling back in from the pub. But, each to their own - some people obviously liked it as it got 7 series and at least one movie.
This was the stage show of 'Bottom' and was produced to be on a similar vein (but very adult version), of the British 'panto' (or pantomime) which is played in theatres throughout the UK, at Christmas time. A traditional panto is for children, but with loads of adult gags and inuendo (double entendre), which 'go over the heads of children). Adult (very blue) panto's are also performed... a few live (recorded) shows are on YT and worth watching especially Jim Davidson's...
EDIT: I wrote this before getting to the part were you (Connor), mentioned pantomime - Duh!
Luckily my parents never really supervised us so me & sis used to watch all these Bottom live VHS tapes. Never got the innuendo but slapstick was hilarious.
The closest an American will come to understanding what a pantomime is.
Most of Bottom was studio, if i remember right (not sure if they had live audience), but they also did a bunch of live tours (which is what you're reacting to).
Most British sitcoms are filmed in a studio with live audiences. Red Dwarf is another great example of this.
All were recorded live infront of an audience. Went to the first and third plays in Bristol. My 3
Year old grandson also loves bottom… when his mummys not around we watch it stealth mode on the phone in our pretend storm buster 4 tent. X
I love Rik and Ade. Always rewatching their tv shows. RIP Rik ❤
Reg Varney was a comedy actor known as one of the Bus drivers on a 1970's TV series called "on the buses" he was also the 1st person in the world to use a ATM machine , a British invention from 1967 ....
The magic is in the secret, if you don't know you don't know. 😂😂😂😂😂
Like the grate watch gag?
Let's shake and make up 😂
Saw Bottom 2 in Leeds. The most chaotic, insane, hilarious thing I've seen in my entire life.
Fucking legends, the pair of them.
Watch the whole live shows Connor, they are hilarious and better than the TV show.
Years ago Stephen Fry had a nervous breakdown and disappeared just before he was due to be in a play with Rik Mayall - so the joke here is that Mayall caused it. It was topical and widely reported at the time the show was on (mid 90s - early 2000s probably), but the reference is a bit obscure by today's standards.
Bottom was always filmed in front of a studio audience, as you can tell from the outtakes. But it wasn't a theatre production like the live shows were.
I was lucky enough to see every live show they ever did in Nottingham and still have some of their tour merch.
Reg Varney was on a sitcom in the '70s. The impression was NOT of Reg Varney... so it couldn't have been "the best Reg Varney " Eddie had ever seen, i.e. he is indicating that the impression was crap. It was actually meant to be an impression of Rigsby from Rising Damp - a different sitcom altogether.
The Bottom Live tours were legendary, there really wasn't anything like them before, and there certainly hasn't been since. You're right that in some ways it's a bit like panto - except it's for adults (well, uni students I guess were the key audience) and actually good. The best one is the one where they almost blow up the queen, the recording of which is almost completely ruined by a screamy laugher somewhere near the front; somebody should remaster them and cut her out tbh.
I think the first Bottom was recorded in 1991, as I was a secretary working at the BBC in Television Centre and one of my colleagues had tickets for the first show and was very excited.
After the TV series (which were filmed in front of a small live audience) they took the show live on tour, which is what this is from. "Pat-a-cake" is a children's nursery rhyme. Stephen Fry got bad stage fright during a run of a play with Mayall and ran away to Belgium. Angus Deayton is a British TV personality and former panel-show host. The bit from 12:15 on goes on quite a bit longer than that and is one of the funniest things I've ever seen on RUclips. And Rik did an impersonation of British comic actor Leonard Rossiter, and them Ade came back saying it was a great impression of a different British actor, Reg Varney. The two of them were hilarious together. RIP Rik - gone way too soon.
Two of our most beloved comedians! RIP Rik May all, miss him and miss them being on telly!! X
We love them in Australia ❤
These are the live show separate form the series, but yes, both have a live Audience
Rik Mayall is a very sad loss. We grew up watching them both on The Young Ones before Bottom and still miss him now
Reg Varney...Star of 'on the Buses' a VERY long time ago
I grew up watching this on VHS ... Its why im crazy now 😂😂
It's kind of like an adult pantomime,
RIP the great Rik Mayall
Bottom (the tv series) was recorded in front of a live audience, canned laughter is a massive no no. The classic bottom you are reacting too is from Bottom Live, on stage (in a theatre). It's not the phantom of the opera but still bloody funny
TV shows filmed in front of a live audience. But these clips are from their live theatre stage show tours.
Rick and Ade were brilliant together. Really miss Rick ❤
I saw Bottom live in Brum, I actually ached from laughter in the end. So funny
And why are you drinking water while you watch bottom??
We all know it’s a cup of steaming cold tea in a yellow mug. Or a pint of Esther ranzen x
Which one is the poison in?? 😂😂
@@stephenhumphrey7935 the yellow one!!
@@jessicapayne8622 eddie, THEYRE ALL YELLOW!
@@ProbablyAnAmateur 🍌
My Parents went to see this when they came to Nottingham and Rick was absolutely laying into the audience, kinda sad it wasn't in this compilation tbh :'D
British sit--coms don't use laugh tracks (unlike the Americans) we film episodes on set, and show the footage to a live theater audience, tickets are usually free. This is a theater show, filmed live to the audience, where fluffing your lines can't be edited out, so the audience get to see all the mistakes.
RIP Rik Mayall
Saw the 3rd show the Hooligans Island in Oxford '97 I think. Brilliant night. Even got a flick of the Vs from Rik.
Absolute legends.
I saw bottom live at the Apollo in Manchester in the early 2000's. I was must have watched the Original bottom 30 times on video and was so glad i got to watch them before Rick Mayall died
Originally they had planned to call the show : My Bottom!
Hey, Mc. Pat O'Cake. Its a reference to a childs nursery rhyme: Patter cake, Patter cake, bakers man. Bake me a cake as fast as you can. It goes on a tad. Can't remember the rest off hand. Eddie is 'just taking the piss'. (Having a laugh, being sarchastic in a jovial way).
1:45 a shame they cut it before Eddie shouts it
Rest in peace Rik, absolute legend of comedy.
It cut out the bit where Rik says something like "can we just get through this or we'll never get out of South f*****g hampton!!"
The tv show episodes (3 seasons) were recorded in front of a small live studio audience with the outtakes and mistakes edited out, the 5(?) pantomine like shows they performed over the many years where done with the mistakes and outtakes kept in.
Their interaction with the audience was second to none, they fed off the reactions and would often try to screw each other over (in a banter way) and they had the ability to make a 3 second joke drag for 3 minutes.
Seen them live twice funniest shows ive ever seen , and sad il never see them again
Angus Deaton is a comedic actor probably _still_ best known for hosting topical news quiz _Have I Got News For You,_ even though he left the show in 2002, after he made front page headlines because of doing cocaine. On the show he used autocue/teleprompter and was often the butt of jokes from the team captains because of it.
Reg Varney was in a very old sitcom called On The Buses.
Some of the older comedy sitcoms around the early 90s have done a small theatre productions a bit after being aired on TV (obviously), one of the more recent ones to do this is 'Only Fools and Horses' (not the same actors on this particular one like you see with Bottom here). This is a rare occurrence though, out of the dozens of comedy sitcoms, even from any era since or before, I can guess there is only about 3 or 4 to do this sort of transition from TV screen to Theatre (typically the theatre version only lasts a few years, if that).
Bottom Live happened after the TV Show - but the actual episodes were filmed in front of an audience.
I was fortunate enough to go to the final Bottom Live show with a mate.
Reg Varney was an actor from the comedy series "On the buses" but Aide was taking the pi$$ as Rik was doing an Impression of Leonard Rossiter's character "Rigby" in the comedy series "Rising damp" .
These are the stage shows. Though, like most other British TV, the TV shows were recorded in front of a studio audience too. Getting into the studio audience is a big thing here! And normally free!
Some of the late & great Rik Mayall's most iconic work was playing Rick in "The Young Ones", Richie in "Bottom" and several generations of Lord Flasheart in "Blackadder".
His comic timing was running on Swiss precision and he stole nearly every scene he was in.
You asked when was this. This is actually clips of 3 seperate shows (there are 5 in total) the 1st was filmed in 1993, 2nd in 95, 3rd in 97. The other 2 that are not represented in this video were filmed in 2001 and 03
8:43 That joke isn't an insider British joke about Angus Deton it's an autocue joke which is pretty universal, but honestly what did you expect it's a British comedy show aimed at a live British audience.
This was a collection of specials
Bottom Live 1993 Southampton Mayflower Theatre
Bottom Live 2: The Big Number Two Tour 1995 Oxford New Theatre
Bottom Live 3: Hooligan's Island 1997 Bristol Hippodrome
Bottom Live 2001: An Arse Oddity 2001 Nottingham Royal Concert Hall
Bottom Live 2003: Weapons Grade Y-Fronts Tour 2003 Southend The Cliffs Pavilion
To my knowledge there's 4 full show of bottom live here on RUclips
these are the touring live sketch shows after the tv series was on hiatus
The tv show was recorded ina studio in front of alive studio audience, the bottom live shows were recorded at various thetres up and down the country. They would tour with these live shows from the early/mid 1990's up until around 2003-4 and even on the live stage shows where they werent recording for vhs/dvd release, they would fuck up and break character just as much. The whole world lost a brother when Rik Mayall passed away. I think Ade is a bit lost without him. They were a duo for 40+ years and even after all that time were genuine friends and they got each other, thats why they worked so well together. And although what they did in these shows might nit have come across as professional, it was. They had every little bit of their routine fine tuned down to the last drop. I dare say even their ad libs and other off the cuff remarks were even rehearsed and kept in the back of their brains for when needed. What they made look very easy was actually very hard to do and accomplish. They deserved more recognition than they ever received.
You should check out em doing The Dangerous Brothers . Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson, as "Richard Dangerous" and "Sir Adrian Dangerous".Tis Violence Personified
All the Bottom series are recorded in front of a studio audience.
The first Bottom live was in 1993, they did 5.
These two are absolutely brilliant.
The later ones they did write in them 'messing up', the early ones didn't. You could always tell when it wasn't scripted because of Ade laughing, like the last bit.
The Bottom series was recorded live with a studio audience, but this is the Live Stage Show that toured the country. The fourth wall is non-existant, they play to the crowd constantly, Rik did the local Bristol accent and made them sound like countryside idiots. This isn't licensed to the BBC so they can go crazy, it's pretty extreme for the 90s and these live shows went on for hours.
Reg varney played a bus driver on a show called On the buses.
2 legends at work!
These are the stage shows, you can actually watch them in full on RUclips.
The Comic Strip presents. The Young ones. Filthy Rich and Catflap. Bottom…….
For my generation they were our comedians,particularly the young ones which parents just disparaged making us cherish every violent moment even more. Grrrrrr great days Eddie!!!
You really dont get the best view of the live shows just watching clips of it, you really need to watch the whole thing. 😂😂😂
"It's like pantomime" - Good call.
@McJibbin They would have both been drinking and other things for hours before coming on stage.
"Haven't got enough puff" Rik. As in out of breath.
Adrian says "Speak for yourself". 100% weed reference, I know this because my dad was in charge of all of the lighting on their shows. Dad smoked with them, probably more haha.
Pat o cake. Is a nursery rhyme. Pat a cake, Pat a cake bakers man, bake me cake as fast as you can…… if you want to know the rest there’s this thing called the Internet with a search option called Google. Ps I’m not sure on the rest of the song, sssshhh.
Well done on getting the pantomime bits ( reaction to and from the audience ) and keep on looking at the Bottom videos or anything these are in ( Everard in Blackadder ) your learning of British humour will be complete and you'll be able to explain it to your friends etc and whats even better understand pantomimes and explain them as well 😂😂😂😂
Bottom was 1990s but the pair were around earlier than that, black adder etc steven fry joke.
The TV show was recorded with a live audience but obviously on TV they had to calm it down a bit,these clips are from the live tours they did all over the UK which some were filmed and well worth watching from start to finish Bottom,The big number 2 tour,Hooligans Island,An Arse Oddity and lastly weapons grade Y-fronts.
But you will struggle with their accents and a lot of the humour they use is British orientated so unless you watched our TV and know our TV celebrities then you are not going to get the references being American.
you can watch all the live performances on youtube, i love all his stuff special the classic that is bottom, shame he was cut from the first harry potter film rip rick
Two complete uk legends ❤
Im honoured you enjoyed it.... Its 1980s / 1990
British TV does not use a laugh track (Canned Laughter). Btw Rick Mayall was a legend. Rip.
You need to find the whole of the last one.
The play with Stephen fry was called cell mates. Oddly enough that plat was also set in a prison cell.
It doesn't help when the subtitles/closed captions can't understand English.
Can't beat British comedy
Rik and ade were like brothers❤
Yes, I love this. Great choice. My son always says when I get annoyed or wound up I start sounding like "Richie". Then we just start laughing. It's a great way to diffuse a situation.I'm female ??!! I don't wear my knickers up high past my waist honest!
Rik & Ade was in the comedy The Young ones many years ago, which was mental,crazy & funny back then we all remember....but not as funny now for some reason.
Reg Varney aka stan butler from on the buses great 70s comedy
You have found one of my favourite shows. I never got to see them live unfortunately I never will Rick Mayall sadly passed away
Connor try searching for one Rik tv shows called "The New Statesman" i think you'll loke it
The 3 series of Bottom aren't live. They are utterly brilliant though. I would suggest watching the episode 'gas' if you wanted a idea for it. Every single episode is brilliant though.
Richie - [whispers] oh cripes, it's the Gas Man.
Gas man - Hello,, I'm from the Gas Board.
I've come to read your meter.
Richie - HELLO MR GAAAASS MAAAAN!!
Eddie - who?
Richie - GAS MAN!! GAS MAN!! GAS MAN!!
Eddie - [frantically turning the cooker off]
Last joke was just rupping on his impression. Its like if you tried to do a yoda accent, and someone said "that was a really good rfk jr"
these are scenes from there live shows over the years
Sadly you’ll never get to see them live as Rick died
Second comment to answer your question the regular Bottom show is a regular sitcom what you watch was a live stage show I think they did them once a year
the thing is that every one of these asides to the audience were a genuine fuck up at one point, if it got a lot of laughs then they
would deliberately fuck up at the same point at subsequent performances
Wasn’t Bottom from the early 90’s? I remember watching as a young teen
Would help to watch the series first. The live show were kind of a spin of for the fan base. I went to watch a few of them, they were amazing nights.
Powder O'keg = Powder keg
shame that the compilation you picked is a condensed one. some of the set ups and ends where missing. especially the very last one. That said these stage shows are among the most beloved in UK comedy history with both Rick Mayal and Ade Edmonton being legends. loved this reaction...
live tour
