It's not a sketch show; it's a sitcom.

[@tonywebb6832]

Always loved Bottom. Has been classed as a "If Tom & Jerry were human" sort of vibe with the slapstick violence. Yes, it solely focuses an these two and the various chaos that goes on in their lives. Highly recommend watching full episodes

[@Foebane72]

What about Spudgun and Dave Hedgehog?

[@paulryan9640]

You have to watch a whole show they are hilarious .they also do a live show .it is brilliant 😘😘

Its amazing that British tv shows got so popular that they got to do live theatre shows or even tour. Although mostly variety sketch shows such as Little Britain, Fast show, League of Gentleman - Bottom had the feel of a theatre play already.

You’ve got to watch an episode called ‘Gas’. One of my favourite episodes. How Eddie and Richie evade the gasman is a masterclass in slapstick comedy.

The kitchen fight scene in Bottom's Guest House Paradiso is a comedic masterpiece and a must watch.

[@moirs1985]

The live shows are absolutely amazing or even the clips when they banter with the crowd. True British treasures

[@LADYRAEUK]

I’ve heard they’re great👍🏻

[@steve3291]

Ade Edmonson and Rik Mayall were in The Young One's which was aired in the 80's. It was an anarchic comedy about 4 students in a bedsit. Whilst the characters in Bottom aren't the same characters there was a lot of carry over in the style and humour. In the Young One's Ade played a punk called Vyvyan. Rik was, well Rick whereas in Bottom Ade is (ahem) Eddie Hitler and Rik is Richard Richard. They've done some live Bottom stuff and it's fantastic.

[@Nooziterp1]

The Young ones was in a similar vein but more anarchic.

[@scotmac5143]

Great minds Steve. I've just commented on The Young Ones aswell before I read your comment.

[@shegocrazy]

[@professornuke7562]

I've always felt that Eddie and Richie were just what Vyvyan and wRik would have grown up to be if they hadn't been killed in that bus crash.

[@steve3291]

@@professornuke7562 Agreed

[@simonharper4199]

Rik and Ade started off doing 'The Dangerous Brothers' skits on stage in the late 1970's. Regulars in The Comedy Club they eventually made it onto tv. Their characters in The Young Ones and Bottom were an evolution of this. Most of what you see of them throughout the decades has major dna from 'Sir Richard and Sir Adrian Dangerous'

[@sparkyomahoney4455]

Loved The Dangerous Brothers, got the tv series on dvd

[@theoriginalchefboyoboy6025]

For me, my favorite is Bottom Live: Hooligan's Island - especially the bit after the "interval". The first Bottom Live is awesome, too, with the "eat your heart out Alan Rickman" outtake...

[@michaeljohn2029]

YES !!! definately watch more..... The GAS MAN scene is just side splittingly hilarious..... Also the Camping scene when eddie reveals his chocolate hobnobs...The fight that follows....Cripples me still...... Me and my mate used to go and watch the LIVE shows that toured the country and when it came to manchester we where there...Just brilliant....

[@Mark.1980]

That episode where they go camping is so funny. That’s one of my favourites. I agree the fight scene in that one is brilliant.

[@dburgess287]

My favourite one is when Richie gets cursed at the funfare and Eddie dressed up as Death, says he won't take him to hell so long as he can have Richie's money and his copy of Girlie World.

Hi Amanda, this was not the best clip as an introduction to Bottom, but definitely watch more as the two of them worked together perfectly. They had a chemistry that just worked.

[@regreenhalgh]

The nativity scene was my favourite. The whole episode was brilliant.

The episode on the ferris wheel is pure gold, watch the whole episode

[@Svvithred]

Definitely watch more, even the chaotic and hilarious live stuff. Also, they did a movie called Guest House Paradiso, which was basically the same characters under different names, the kitchen fight scene is an absolute killer!! These two had me laughing nonstop during my teenage years!

[@quiddity1977]

Gas man! That's the one to watch! Saw them live on the last tour. Even in the front row the hits look real!

[@dopiaza2006]

Do you have someone who looks after you?

[@4leggedfurball]

I grew up on this stuff. It was and probably still is very much British humor at its finest. However, I may be wrong, but I think a lot of Americans would not "get" this type of humor and may find it odd. I'm from NZ, and have always loved this show. The "Young Ones" is very similar, and a brilliant series also.

[@Bodneyblue]

You have to watch the show (series) from the start Amanda....it's pure class. They also did LIVE shows around the country..I was lucky enough to see all of the LIVE shows when I lived in Portsmouth...Don't think I have laughed so much in my life....The problem with these kinds of clips is that you miss out on the reasoning for the chaos.

[@Nooziterp1]

Highly recommended.

[@jonbolton3376]

Nice one on seeing all the live shows. I saw one in Doncaster. Portsmouth you say, not Southampton lol you missed out on that moment as it happened😋

Guildhall in Portsmouth was good for concerts and shows..Portsmouth in general was good for such things...Saw plenty of bands back then...mainly because of the high proportion of students digs...Then it wasn't to much of a problem to head to Southampton or London for more gigs...But has been a longtime since I last went to one..."Faith No More" I think was the last one I went to in Portsmouth..must be some 18 years ago....Last concert I went to that I can recall was either Karl Jenkins (classical)...or Patrick Stewart (one man show of Christmas Carol)..both in London.

[@wickerman4948]

All bottom episodes are brilliant, favourites have to be the gas man and shopkeepers. Their ultimate best are the bottom live shows especially the first one in the cell with mr big and the bucket of penises. Hilarious to the utmost. Very lucky to have seen them live. Thanks Amanda xx

It's about two very dysfunctional, underclass men who are best friends & live in a flat in Hammersmith, W London.

[@lrh6550]

“The Young Ones” is a must if you like these two. Early eighties but synonymous with English anarchic humour.

[@MorrisseysMonkey]

Classic! RIP RIck much missed. I love the 'Burglary' sketch!

I was once at a party with Ade Edmondson, disappointingly he didn’t punch anyone. This was always one of the best comedy series ever made.

[@jonathane2054]

Second episode of the first series titled ‘Gas’, also stars the excellent Brian Glover, who made is name in the movie ‘Kes’ . Well worth watching.

Loooove Richie’s Birthday, the Christmas episode and when they go up on the roof then look after the shop!

[@chrisbaxter4869]

It's a slapstick comedy classic. They have worked together for many years: From The Dangerous Brothers on Saturday Night Live, Vivian and Rik in The Young Ones, Filthy Ritch and Catflap to Bottom, then Bottom Live Shows. Rik Mayall sadly passed away and is sorely missed in the UK. I fully recommend watching a whole series but highly recommended a Live show most are on KZbin their live outtakes are hilarious as in proper snorting/belly laughingly funny.

[@EastCoastSteam4468]

3 series, 5 stage shows and a movie, Guesthouse Paradiso. They were in the Young Ones and we're good friends until Rik passed away. The stage shows are some of the best.

[@dawncarver5277]

bottom hooligans island live 3 one of my favourites from the live shows

[@efnissien]

Eddie was my hero & role model. I actually had a weird Eddiesque adventure involving beer, me dressed as Eddie, a lady dressed as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, being stopped by the police who thought my cricket bat was real (I had a SFX foam rubber one like they used on 'Bottom'), and several missing hours (in the company of Dorothy). And apparently my return was somewhat like this scene.

[@andyhodgson7692]

Can't believe this is from the early 1990's, time goes so quickly. I loved this show 30 years ago and still do now. The whole of series 1 is good. Series 2 is slightly more inconsistent but still good.

[@mikeapsey]

The best stuff from Bottom is in their live shows, they were able to get away with a lot more. If you're able to find any of it, Ade and Rik started out as a duo called the Dangerous Brothers, you should check it out Rik Mayall was a true comic genius. R.I.P. Great content as always, 👌

[@LADYRAEUK]

Thank you!

[@phoenixbev17]

The good thing about Bottom is that you don't need to watch from the start to know whats going on. Every episode is a new story so I recommend s3 the episode called HOLE. its just the 2 of them stuck on a ferris wheel for the entire episode and its a classic.

[@LADYRAEUK]

I’ll check it out 😊

[@stevenbrindley2469]

Brilliant, thanks for sharing. Bottom was a force of comedy 🤣, Rik and Ade were great buddies and worked brilliantly together. I was lucky enough to see them live on stage twice. For a funny reaction try ultra violence 🤣, basically various clips of the duo being insane.

[@josephcossey1811]

I was fortunate enough to catch the Bottom Live shows on several occasions and can wholeheartedly recommend any of the recordings although it goes without saying - you really had to be there!

[@chindleymuffin]

Bottom was devised by the late great Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson in the early 90's as a follow up sitcom of sorts to The Young Ones series from the 80's, which they also wrote and performed in, but The Young Ones (named after the Cliff Richard song) was more of an ensemble, experimental, New Wave Comedy sitcom with bands of the day performing in between "scenes" and skits. It was a popular show in the 80's and helped start the careers of many comedy talents, such as Alexei Sayle, Rik Mayall, Adrian Edmondson, Nigel Planer and even Ben Elton, who made a brief appearance. It's called Bottom because the characters have literally hit rock bottom in society, it was originally meant to be about two lazy, layabout unemployed people who get up to all sorts of crazy exploits just to pass the time. It kind of developed beyond that and they never specifically state that the characters are unemployed, it's more about what they do and how they get out of the predicament they are in, plus it has lots of slapstick. Bottom became so popular that it spawned 5 live show tours of the UK (most of which are on KZbin) and a movie called Guest House Paradiso.

[@briandolan270]

Bottom is a British television sitcom created by Adrian Edmondson and Rik Mayall that originally aired on BBC2 from 17 September 1991 to 10 April 1995 across three series. The show stars Edmondson and Mayall as Edward Elizabeth "Eddie" Hitler and Richard "Richie" Richard, two crude, perverted flatmates with no jobs and little money who live in Hammersmith, West London. The show features chaotic, nihilistic humour and violent comedy slapstick.

[@garywoods9354]

Amanda you have to watch Bottom "Goldfinger" it's just about the best they ever did xx

[@kevinfroude8679]

Hey Amanda - I hope all's well with you and yours. I have never seen "Bottom" but I did used to like these 2 in "The Young Ones" and also Rik in "the New Statesman" was pretty good. Rik also appeared in some episodes of Black Adder.

I have every dvd including the young ones. All are superbly hilarious

[@charlestaylor3027]

You should have a look at Rikki Fulton - he did a show called Scoth and Wry. It only appeared once a year late in the evening on Hogmanay. Pubs would empty out so people could get home.

[@davidmarks7728]

My favourite tv show.

[@cliveslatter9662]

I remember them fondly from The Young Ones but probably my favourite video of Bottom is when they are in Southampton and both Rik Mayall and Ade Edmonson break characters for quite a while. Very funny.

[@maisiesummers42]

These guys did several live shows. Some of the times when they're live on stage and completely lose the plot are hilarious. Would love to see you react to those.

[@Clayton-S.]

Brilliant! Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson were absolutely hysterical together. Thanks so much Amanda, glad you liked it, yes, it's mainly those two. A pair of sad looneys who share a flat and their random violence/stupidity and incompetence. They do venture out on occasion and one of my favourite episodes is when they try to run a corner shop....☺👍

[@andrewward2010]

LOL! Haven't seen Bottom for years. So Funny. They usually punch each other a lot and drink loads and are pervy. Always funny when Richie does his pervy er er er er er comment lol! Another thing u might like to do a reaction video to is Harry Enfield. The Old Ladies they are pervy as well lol!

[@LADYRAEUK]

I’ll check it out 😊

[@shaunw9270]

Classic! 😅👌 Other comments mention The Young Ones from the early 80's which was my favourite, but often forgotten was Filthy Rich & Catflap which was a show that Rik & Ade did in between and was also hilarious!

Hotel Paradiso is them at their most extreme. They also had a touring stage show that was always very popular.

Bottom is one of the funniest shows ever. It's more of a sitcom really. They did some live shows which were good. Also a show of outtakes called fluff.

[@mathewcooper8327]

[@leo2a7dk]

Hey Amanda. As Stuart Moir mentioned, they made some absolutely hilarious stage shows. And the best thing. No BBC to censor them. They rule the stage alone, and are a match in heaven. So sad we havent got Rik anymore....

[@KWHCoaster]

Glad you got to Bottom. Have the DVD set, have watched all the episodes at least ten times. "S'out" is amazing is my favourite episode, but these two scenes kill me every time. Search for "Hunting Expedition | Bottom" and "Bottom - Hobnob fight" And also responsible for me going to the U.K. Import shop in Toronto to get some chocolate Hobnobs to try. Yummy!

[@KWHCoaster]

Damn... time for the 11th(?) play through. :-)

[@briandolan270]

Richard Michael Mayall (7 March 1958 - 9 June 2014) was an English actor, stand-up comedian and writer. He formed a close partnership with Ade Edmondson while they were students at Manchester University and was a pioneer of alternative comedy in the 1980s.

[@McZorr0101]

You should check out “The best of Rik & Ade as the drop out of character.” from one of their live stage shows of Bottom. Their ad-libbing when one of them forgets a line or a prop malfunctions is often a highlight.

[@oxfamshop]

they also have years of earlier work . The dangerous Brothers and the young ones and a film with both of them called Guest House Paradiso

[@MarkSW]

You should react to the chess fight they have. Bottom is a great comedy. 🤣

[@awall1701]

I love the show Bottom, I really enjoyed the episode where they were stealing gas and loved the christmas special.

[@Whippy99]

Please watch other episodes. My favourites are the Halloween one, Wimbledon Common one and the Burglar one. Actually, they are all brilliant! You need to see the ‘sprouts of evil’ aftermath! 😁

[@andrewdinatale8207]

And the secret ingredient - Gun powder!

[@rikrob]

Definitely worth checking out full episodes if you can. The Womble clip is another pretty good one though. There are so many great scenes though. Ade Edmondson & the late Rik Mayall were a great comedy partnership.

[@LADYRAEUK]

🙌🙌

[@PeterMackett]

Bottom was one of the classic British comedies of the 1980's, Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson started in The Young Ones and then made several other series including this one and most of the same actors were in all of them, although it was current at the time the classic slapstick cartoon humour was in all of them as they were forever getting beaten and attacked but no one ever got hurt, check out more of the series and their other work, it's simple but hilarious!

[@daniellowenna3342]

Not 80"s probably early to mid-90"s.

[@jimmybisk]

My recommendation would be to watch the whole series. Just one series in a long comedy career shared by this amazing duo.

[@jessicapayne8622]

Ahhhh. The classic starting of the start of the holiday to weston super Mare…

[@MrJHDK]

Most popular episode is "Gas" Personal favourite is "Hole" Most people don't grasp the long standing inspiration from Waiting For Godot that permeates the series. 😊 But even without that it is some of the best slapstick comedy you'll see.

In some ways two miserable males living in a dirty flat is kind of similar to two miserable males living in a scrapyard (Steptoe & Son) Both were mainly set in one location, and both had the feeling of a theatre play with bittersweet monologues and abrasive relationships.

The Gas Man scene is hillarious.

[@LADYRAEUK]

[@cnjelly7876]

If you have not watched more I suggest you do, 3 Seasons worth as well as a "Fluff" episode for each season which is basically outtakes and is just REALLY funny and then there are live performances which are also fantastic, have been going to bed listening to this for years.

[@n0body550]

I watched bottom since i was 3 always loved these two.

[@metalmadsen]

The chess scene had always been my favorit.

[@craig.watson]

I've been waiting for ages to get into the absolutely incredible, unimaginable and unrivalled chaos that is Bottom and the writing of Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson. Definitely recommend you check out the Bottom Live bloopers reel - search for "Eddie and Richie lose the plot". They're an amazing double-act, one of the best that Britain has ever produced.

[@blaze1148]

RIP Rick Mayall

[@jeffreylynn135]

If you want to see where some of the comedy came from, watch an episode (or three) of 'The Young Ones'. That starred both of these guys plus Nigel Planer, Christopher Ryan and Alexi Sayle, with appearances from Ben Elton, who wrote a fair bit of it. The anarchic humour is all there, and continued in Bottom with the main focus on the two characters you see in the video, and their misadventures.

[@ScreamqueenarmyBlogspot666]

There are 3 series of Bottom, 5 live stage shows and a spin off movie called Guest House Paradiso

[@GunnarFreyr71909]

You need to see many episodes to get to know the characters. Their Live Shows are epic.
