Ade got stuck on his window ledge on sunday had to be rescued by the fire brigade thats whats good about him ,1st thing he did wa take the piss out himself on twitter,top bloke.
RIP Rik. Ade Edmonton commented on his early passing during his eulogy at the funeral and finished up by saying “Selfish bastard!” Rik wouldn’t have had it any other way.😂
Have you ever seen the video of ade performing with his band "bad shepherds" about after rik died? His voice is breaking as he talks about it, really sad
I saw Rik Mayal twice on stage. He was telling a joke which went like " I suppose you think I'm a bit of a wanker", and I shouted out " you're a complete one". After a long pause he shouted "well it takes one to be one". That is my claim to heckling one of the best comedians of my generation. Bless his soul.
Sorry to burst you bubble, but I went and saw them live, afterwards I saw the live video of them putting on the same performance but at a different venue. Same "fuck ups" same "improv". Think about it, these two were ultimate professionals, they didn't do fuck ups.
@@MaNNeRz91 I'm not sure how to provide proof but I went to see hooligans island (live 3) and the 'mistakes' were also the same as on the dvd which was recorded at a different venue. The main one I remember is the 'hidden cave/Eddie's bar' and Richie finds it early but there were others.
@@MaNNeRz91 I must admit I did feel a bit cheated when I saw the video after. The "fuck ups" were word for word, the prop fails were identical. Its a acknowledgement to their craft that the "fuck ups" were so believable as fuck ups. As I said they were masters at their craft, they didn't do fuck ups, unless they were scripted. Watching them live on stage was one of the best nights i'v had.
Some of my best childhood memories are from watching bottom with my parents, all three of us absolutely crying our eyes out laughing. I miss those days.
My sons kept nagging me to watch this show and eventually I gave in and suddenly I was hooked. I'm now in my 60's and still find this stuff hilarious. Two comedy geniuses!
Bottom is just one of the best, surrealist comedies of all time. The over the top violence, the tragic characters, it's as much performance art as comedy.
Right! Swimming on Friday after school, fish and chips for tea with crystal maze at 6 then counting down the clock till 9 for Bottom. Oh to be a child again.
I think Bottom is quite unknown with current generations of British viewers. However, for my dad's generation this was an absolute hit! I grew up watching it because my dad enjoyed it, and I am not ashamed to say I can type entire episodes worth of script. I LOVE this show, and I'm sure if you started watching full episodes from the beginning, you will quickly be hooked as well
The full scene of them playing chess is absolutely hilarious, one of my favourite scenes in the entire show. If you get a chance, watch some of their live stage shows or clips of them going off script during the live shows. Absolutely genius comedy work 🤣🤣🤣
I watched this over and over from about the age of 8, I'm now 36 and it still cracks me up. The one where they try and kill the burglar with tea, laced with rat poison 😄
The dangerous brothers, The young ones, Bottom, Filthy rich and catflap, guest house paradiso all great Rik and Ade related, all similar style of comedy
@@DavidKRoebuck I agree; filthy rich & catflap was really shit. The only remotely good bit was when Midge Ure made a cameo, and even then they almost ruined it by mocking his name. It was Ben Elton at his worst, full of too much political overtones and smugness and virtue signalling.
Please watch the whole episode of the one with the Falklands vet. The episode is called 'Parade' and it might just be the funniest episode of them all, but they are all hilarious. Also the guy playing the Falklands vet is Kryton from "Red Dwarf", which is another comedy you might like 👍
Bottom is a kind of continuation of over-the-top characters from Rik and Ade’s first TV collaboration called “The Young Ones”, in which Ade played a punk rocker and Rik played a student anarchist, along with Nigel Planer playing Neil the hippie, and Christopher Ryan playing Mike, the extremely short cool guy
Check out The Young Ones that also starred Ric & Ade. Forerunner to the comic style violence of Bottom. It was groundbreaking when first shown on British TV in the early eighties.
The Dangerous Brothers. Rik & Ade. That was the forerunner to it all, spawned from their Footlights performances at uni’. There are bits of The Dangerous Brothers on RUclips.
I was a young boy when I first watched this.... My dad loved this show and had it on VHS, so I used to sit and watch it with him. Brings back great memories this does
The bar clip: the man arguing with Richie is Robert LLewelyn who is Kryton in Red Dwarf. The barmaid is Julia Sawalha was played Saffy in Absolutely Fabulous.
In the UK years ago some people would fiddle their electric or gas meters, so it gave a lower reading and so they paid less. I think the gas man was there to read the meter and would have found them out.
i could do that with the gas meter, landlady always wondered why there weren't many coins in the meter but i used more gas, she was a bit thick so i got away with it could not fiddle the electric meter the padlock was to hard to pick.good job she checked and not anyone else.
One of my mates got caught out doing it. When the police came with the Gas man to read the meter, the reading was lower than it had been from the last reading, when they told him this, he said does that mean you owe me money then? He ended up in court for it lol.
@@jonathangriffiths2499 yeah some of those plastic coins for children used to work or but they made them slightly smaller, todays gas meters have a small plastic valve that is easy enough to remove and electricity meters just require a piece of wire like you use for an oven or washing machine to bypass the meter then smash the led readout when you move out, thats probably why they want everyone on smart meters or have meters outside some houses.
This was must watch comedy for any 90's kid growing up in England. I remember staying up late to watch it when I was like 6-7 years old, and since then I've always loved dark humour. You need to watch The League of Gentlemen or Top Buzzer.
Bottom was an hilliriaus program, there were rounders that they were going to make new episodes, but unfortunately Rik Mayal died. Your gonna love Dave Hedgehog and Spudgun.
Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmonson (and also Rowan Atkinson) are all virtuosic 'physical' actors. They are wonderful physical performers who were at the top of their game when it came to using their bodies, faces, energy and so on to create an amazing display. Their choreography, ideas, inventiveness and relentless dedication to this art form is compelling and astounding.
You will love full episodes :) I've loved this since I was a kid, I used to watch with my brother and we still sometimes quote it. Rik Mayall is sorely missed :(
In the UK houses have a gas meter and a gas man comes around to read the meter so the company know what your bill should be. Eddie and Richie were stealing gas from their next door neighbour so they wouldn't' t have to pay anything, but when the gas man got suspicious they ended up trying to kill him to stop him checking next door.
The guy who Richie is showing his scar to is Robert LLewellyn at 11:03 the actor who played Kryten the Android in Red Dwarf. Bottom, Young Ones and Red Dwarf all had directors and producers and actors who starred in each others shows.
Careful not to watch the god awful US pilot of Red Dwarf, a total waste of video tape, everything that made the U.K. version funny was removed. Lister being a total slob was part of the joke, in the US version he’s the archetypal all-round American good guy, hence not funny.
Bottom and Red Dwarf on tape, was my lullaby to go sleep since I was like 6, I can mime every word and violent action haha its nice that 'murica is finally giving it the respect it deserves, we have nothing like this anymore, just 2 scummy people in a flat, causing ruckus, and twatting each other, so simple, but amazing Rik Mayall passing away felt like losing a family member
@@applecorp True... he was in a show on the tv here in Ireland about 9 months before he died.. a comedy playing a rich father.. he was still hilarious.. a true great of British comedy.
The fight scene in Guest House Paradiso is surely the best fight ever commited to film. Certainly the funniest. It's like their fights in Bottom, but turned up to 11.
The fight they have playing chess in the episode “culture” had me crying laughing when I was 8. I’m 37 now and it still makes me cry laughing, though mixed with a few sad tears.... RIP Rik we all miss you!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOF!!!!!
best display of slapstick you will ever see, the way they are able to make it look like they are actually hitting each other is amazing.. however, in one live show they did actually connect by accident..!!!
The camping one is my favorite - what you saw was only a part of the fighting... Once you get into the characters and their little nuances... the better it gets. RIP Rick.
Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson reuniting in Bottom after their previous work on The Young Ones, which is also worth a look. Not slapstick violence like Bottom, but offbeat comedy about a student house. A great comedy duo. R.I.P. the late Rik Mayall. A legend of laughs.
As a kid growing up, Bottom was hilarious. I have so many fond memories of getting in front of the TV ready for 9pm and laughing with my family or friends.
Rick and Ade did a series called " filthy rich and catflap" before this, check it out its hilarious,they clearly developed those characters into their bottom characters.
Bottom is awesome, I would definitely recommend it. Just the expressions and stuff in it are great, both of the main guys are awesome actors. And its also a pretty accurate representation of being broke in 90s Britain XD
Thanks for watching it mate. I knew you would love bottom. They also went live on stage in front of the audience quite a few times. You should check them... even funnier. 👍🏻👍🏻
The best bottom violence scene of all time has to be the fight in the kitchen in Guest House Paradiso. Anyone not pissing their pants with laughter is dead from the neck up.
I'm not sure if you knew what the reference to " The man from Rumbelows" was, Rumbelows was a famous Hire shop where you rented tv's from, so when the bloke from rumbelows turned up for the rent, they hid the tv.
Check outThe Young Ones... Pre Bottom!... I was born in Hammersmith but now I live in Burnley, Lancashire.. North West of England!.. Love how you get the silly sense of humor British comedy brings to the table!.. Big love!.. ❤✊🇺🇸
Dude watch their live shows, I was lucky to see them live at their 4th one "An Arse oddity". They keep the mistakes in on their dvds which is even funnier watching them mess up and run with it.
Bottom was basically a spoof of slap-stick comedy taken to the highest extreme. I was lucky enough to see them live twice and those shows are incredible.
It's an awesome show, I've been watching for years. I just recently got the box set on DVD. There are some other shows with the two of them, like The Young Ones, and Filthy Rich & Catflap. There is also The New Statesman with Rick being the main character, but Ade isn't in it.
RIP Rik Mayall the most underrated comedy actor of a generation. Bottom still the most funniest thing I've ever seen. A mixture of cartoon violence and a Samuel Beckett play
@@axelusul watched all of The Young Ones again a few months ago, it’s still a better show than most of the modern rubbish. Funny, clever, inventive, unique and at the time, groundbreaking.
I used to work as stage crew for a couple of years, and I can remember Rick mayall and how cool he was, he was that cool he gave a phone call to one of our work mates who was pretty ill and not able to work, He liked his marching powder, not that it's noticeable, lol.
the gas man is like the water and power utilities guy, and he'd just found out they were stealing gas from next doors supply, so they didn't want him to report it
@@chrisspere4836 I've been watching the Young Ones since I was 4 years old in 1986! They showed the clip of Vyv getting his head cut off by the train from the Bambi episode on Comic Relief and I was crying laughing. They also brought out Living Doll as a Comic Relief record, and I loved it, so I got that record, and I got the videos to watch too. Then when Bottom came out I adored that as well, and the lesser known Filthy, Rich and Catflap which was written by Ben Elton. So yeah, bit obsessed really. Most likely why I've got a fucking warped sense of humour now.
You absolutely have to watch the full episodes. I grew up watching these guys and I’ve seen them all hundreds of times and it never fails to have me crying with laughter. I still haven’t come to terms with the loss of Rik, he was a true gift to the world of comedy. There are 5 live shows they did of Bottom and a movie (Guest House Paradiso) all are highly recommended if you want a damn good laugh.
yeah love how they go off script and interact with the audience live lol, so funny, back in the day every christmas the missuses sister always used to buy me a bottom live video when they came out lol
True, sadly. In the times it played, it was really out there. Today, it’s pretty uneven, unpolished, and slow. Still, it has its moments of genius shining through. Bottom, on the other hand has those best moments extended pretty solidly through whole episodes. I still miss Rik.
It's a show/they're performers that really mean a lot to their fans. I was in Hammersmith a year or so after Rik died and we found 'the bench' from the opening titles with loads of tributes attached to it. Grrrrr, great days.
The live shows are brilliant! It`s more of the same, but they take the piss out of each other when one forgets a line, and they try to out do each other with the ad libs.
You definitely need to see more Bottom stuff, like the live shows from I'd say their 3rd live one its hilarious, you'd (or will) love them! The earlier ones just arent as good I dont think (they are funny but just not as good as the last few). The 1st episode of the 3rd and final series, is just honestly makes me cry laughing (most of them do though if I've not watched them in ages and completely get what you mean its physically impossible to be down when after watching an ep or whatever of theirs lol. The 1st ep of the 3rd series is basically the annual Hammersmith (where they're supposed to be based lol) riots haha, Eddie says a classic lol "in the olden days we used to let the Germans do this sort of thing for us!" A channel who reacts to this sort of stuff (is from yorkshire) said "well we didnt really have a choice" haha!!
As well as playing Eddie Hitler and Richard Richard in Bottom they were also in the highly influential show The Young Ones playing similar characters. Possibly the most important comedy since Monty Python.
Rik mayall was a force of nature, when he passed away it felt like I lost a childhood friend
I full on grieved. It felt bizarrely personal.
Same here! It was strangely personal. It took me a long while to watch anything with him in it
Only celebrity i was really upset to lose
I still get that feeling of loss anytime i see a clip of Rik... usually followed by a lot of laughter... such a legend R.I.P
I cried when he died! i’m crying now thinking about it! I love Rik Mayall, he was a genius! The world is shittier without him!
No-one in the world does comedy violence better than Ric and Ade - RIP Ric - taken far too early
Yeah RIP Rick, what a legend 🙏
Rik had genuine talent and charisma. Plus of course an ego the size of a small moon, but on him it looked good.
Ade got stuck on his window ledge on sunday had to be rescued by the fire brigade

I could watch Bottom repeatedly repeatedly, and I often do do. It's a modern classic.

Oh yes! I was about 12 and it was Bottom, Red Dwarf, Frasier, who's line is it anyway and then the word. When Friday night TV was great!

I'm not sure if you knew what the reference to " The man from Rumbelows" was, Rumbelows was a famous Hire shop where you rented tv's from, so when the bloke from rumbelows turned up for the rent, they hid the tv.
From the Young ones to Bottom two great shows
The two characters here worked together in the young ones . Well worth a look 👍
Check outThe Young Ones... Pre Bottom!... I was born in Hammersmith but now I live in Burnley, Lancashire.. North West of England!.. Love how you get the silly sense of humor British comedy brings to the table!.. Big love!.. ❤✊🇺🇸
They did a feature length movie called Guest house paradiso... it is hilarous and worth a watch
They're all on Netflix...welcome to the Ritchie & Eddy club...also..they did a Bottom movie..Guesthouse Paradiso
You must watch all episodes, utterly classic
Dude watch their live shows, I was lucky to see them live at their 4th one "An Arse oddity". They keep the mistakes in on their dvds which is even funnier watching them mess up and run with it.
Use to look forward to seeing this every weekend. The great Rik Mayall a comedy genius. RIP my friend.
Rik and Ade did an act called The Dangerous Brothers , its a hyper version of this stuff , one time Rik set fire to Ade and it goes wrong
Bottom was basically a spoof of slap-stick comedy taken to the highest extreme. I was lucky enough to see them live twice and those shows are incredible.
It's an awesome show, I've been watching for years. I just recently got the box set on DVD.
There are some other shows with the two of them, like The Young Ones, and Filthy Rich & Catflap. There is also The New Statesman with Rick being the main character, but Ade isn't in it.
RIP Rik Mayall the most underrated comedy actor of a generation. Bottom still the most funniest thing I've ever seen. A mixture of cartoon violence and a Samuel Beckett play
You need to watch the episode called “HOLY”
Bottom TV show and Bottom Live are just pure gold
You must watch “the young ones” Rick Mayal and Ade Edmunson again
But younger
Not quite as violent, more surreal with the subliminal clips and talking match box etc. Any show that can include Motörhead is cool AF.
@@willpemberton6823 I can't believe there is no emphasis on seeing the "Young Ones". Being "Gen X" or whatever, it was THE best shows of its time.
@@axelusul watched all of The Young Ones again a few months ago, it’s still a better show than most of the modern rubbish. Funny, clever, inventive, unique and at the time, groundbreaking.
@@willpemberton6823 Totally agree it still cracks me up.
not quite as violent lol "vivian where did you get that howitzer?....i found it"
I used to work as stage crew for a couple of years, and I can remember Rick mayall and how cool he was, he was that cool he gave a phone call to one of our work mates who was pretty ill and not able to work,
He liked his marching powder, not that it's noticeable, lol.
Bottom was quality lol. ..there live show was incredible lol.
all 5? of the live shows are epic
this duo have been in a few series' together and even theatre shows. all brilliant
the gas man is like the water and power utilities guy, and he'd just found out they were stealing gas from next doors supply, so they didn't want him to report it
That's my favourite episode 👍😁
He hasn't found out yet. They need to delay him while they disconnect the feed next door.
@@AlmightyCRJ ITS THE GAASSSS MAAAANNNN.
@@JohnsysChannel hahaha, he had to shout it so loud so Eddie would understand. And you wrote it down exactly right. 😂
@@chrisspere4836 I've been watching the Young Ones since I was 4 years old in 1986! They showed the clip of Vyv getting his head cut off by the train from the Bambi episode on Comic Relief and I was crying laughing. They also brought out Living Doll as a Comic Relief record, and I loved it, so I got that record, and I got the videos to watch too. Then when Bottom came out I adored that as well, and the lesser known Filthy, Rich and Catflap which was written by Ben Elton. So yeah, bit obsessed really. Most likely why I've got a fucking warped sense of humour now.
You absolutely have to watch the full episodes. I grew up watching these guys and I’ve seen them all hundreds of times and it never fails to have me crying with laughter. I still haven’t come to terms with the loss of Rik, he was a true gift to the world of comedy. There are 5 live shows they did of Bottom and a movie (Guest House Paradiso) all are highly recommended if you want a damn good laugh.
You have to watch Bottom live great how they interact with the audience R.I.P Rick
yeah love how they go off script and interact with the audience live lol, so funny, back in the day every christmas the missuses sister always used to buy me a bottom live video when they came out lol
You really need to see the bottom scene when they are in the tent with the flasher trying to come in!😃😂🤣🤣🤪
You would probably like their earlier incarnation as The Dangerous Brothers.
I tried watching some episodes of The Young Ones recently and it hasn't aged well but it might be funny to someone who's never seen it before.
True, sadly. In the times it played, it was really out there. Today, it’s pretty uneven, unpolished, and slow. Still, it has its moments of genius shining through. Bottom, on the other hand has those best moments extended pretty solidly through whole episodes.
I still miss Rik.
It's a show/they're performers that really mean a lot to their fans. I was in Hammersmith a year or so after Rik died and we found 'the bench' from the opening titles with loads of tributes attached to it. Grrrrr, great days.
The live shows are brilliant! It`s more of the same, but they take the piss out of each other when one forgets a line, and they try to out do each other with the ad libs.
You definitely need to see more Bottom stuff, like the live shows from I'd say their 3rd live one its hilarious, you'd (or will) love them! The earlier ones just arent as good I dont think (they are funny but just not as good as the last few).
The 1st episode of the 3rd and final series, is just honestly makes me cry laughing (most of them do though if I've not watched them in ages and completely get what you mean its physically impossible to be down when after watching an ep or whatever of theirs lol. The 1st ep of the 3rd series is basically the annual Hammersmith (where they're supposed to be based lol) riots haha, Eddie says a classic lol "in the olden days we used to let the Germans do this sort of thing for us!" A channel who reacts to this sort of stuff (is from yorkshire) said "well we didnt really have a choice" haha!!
As well as playing Eddie Hitler and Richard Richard in Bottom they were also in the highly influential show The Young Ones playing similar characters. Possibly the most important comedy since Monty Python.
One of my favourites. Went to see their live shows too. Sadly missed now Rik Mayall.
