American Reacts to Bottom Live: Bloopers Part 1

Ade Edmondsons quote from when Rik died “There were times when Rik and I were writing together when we almost died laughing. They were some of the most carefree stupid days I ever had and I feel privileged to have shared them with him. And now he's died for real. Without me. Selfish b*****d."

[@matthewb9621]

R.I.P Rick

[@robinhowson4292]

Fantastic Quote 👍👍 and very fitting 🤗🤗🤗

[@ayygeordiee]

I seen that. He looked so miserable when he carried his coffin. Bless him. RIP Rik

[@samkershaw8474]

You've seen the emotion for Sean Lock, Rik Mayall's passing was another painful one for the nation.

[@ImmortalTreknique]

So true😔

[@fatlad5090]

I know only 56 it's very sad rip Rik you bastard.

[@Mumscup]

It still hurts the heart that rik is gone . He is missed world wide.

[@thisiszaphod]

My one claim to fame - when I went to Uni, Rik's sister was doing the same degree, but one year above. Rik, you are still sadly missed, bud.

[@terryoconnor5262]

@@fatlad5090 I read that insult in his voice subliminally in my head… “you bAAH- stard” even though my accent is far from that (I’m l live in Cumbria) so it would normally have been read as something like “you Bha- sturd”… that’s how deeply instilled his insult is in my mind 🤣 RIP Lord Flashheart

[@ajaxlewis7664]

These two were just made for each other. The chemistry was real and their friendship solid. Bottom was typical anarchic British humour.

[@roguekiller23231]

I didn't even realise just how many shows they where in together, Filthy Rich and Catflap, The Dangerous Brothers, Young Ones. I think the only exception to these two's magic was the movie, that was terrible. lol

[@expatpiskie]

@Olly O the Dangerous Brothers pre-dated either of those shows & was the real inspiration for Bottom.

[@expatpiskie]

@Olly O it's probably nearer 40. Which makes me feel really old.

[@sonanderson6351]

But Ade didn’t want to work with Ric in later years, it was a bit sad

[@chrispeel3123]

@@roguekiller23231 and The Comic Strip Presents...

[@miaandtyrionfuntimes5742]

The comment about Stephen Fry was because he was doing a play with Rik, and he walked out and disappeared for a while and was found in Belgium in a disguise. It later turned out he had a nervous breakdown. That wasn't discovered until after this was done

[@dVb9]

The play was the 1995 production of Simon Gray's Cell Mates, adding another level of relevance in the context of the sketch.

[@dlarge6502]

It wasn't a breakdown as such, Steven Fry is bipolar and he didn't know it at the time. This was just one of his regular depressed states where he would sometimes just run off for months.

[@scousemouse69]

Years ago, my brother was on a flight with Rik on the same flight. He says he was the most natural funniest people he has ever heard or been in the presence of. Became an instant fan afterwards. Had the whole plane laughing from beginning to end.

[@FeekyChucker]

Mate I would be hyperventilating in the presence of Rik

[@tomclough705]

The Bottom live shows are amazing, hooligans island is my favourite. Even knowing what happens i still cry with laughter. The chemistry those guys had on stage was incredible

[@nurfnurder]

Haha hahaha haha hahahahaha WHATEVER!

[@tomboychick]

It was the funniest because of all the things that went wrong...props breaking or not working properly, and their reactions to it (I'm thinking of the seagull that was meant to s**t on Ade, but was slow to appear, so he cannily tried to avoid standing on his mark, which Rik happened to spot, telling him off!). Then there's Rik getting a really bad case of the giggles for 5 minutes straight. And the giggles are notoriously infectious! Once one person starts, it's almost certain someone else will too! And Ade's duck like responses are just as funny - calm on the surface, paddling away like a maniac underneath, trying to think up a way to get out of it! Out of all the live shows, I think this one is the one that shows just how close a friendship the two had. Whenever I hear results of "Nations funniest double acts" surveys, its always The Two Ronnies, Morecambe & Wise, French & Saunders, on the list. Rik Mayall & Adrian Edmundson almost never feature. Or when the do, they are very low down, when they should be far higher. It's as if people forget about them, despite the success of The Young Ones or Bottom. Then when you remind them, it's almost always an "oh my god! I forgot about them! They're so good! Why weren't they included?" reaction. And Rik & Ade should never, ever, EVER, chart lower than Ant & Dec, who aren't even comedians or comedy writers. All they do is read from an autocue! How do they even make it onto these lists to begin with??

[@tanukijessica]

I was at 2 of the live shows and we were in tears. Rik and Ade were childhood heroes for me, I was practically raised on The Young Ones and Bottom.

[@alicemay6613]

i don’t often feel ‘properly’ sad when a celebrity passes away because obviously i don’t actually know them as real people but the passing of rik absolutely devastated me. he truly was an incredibly kind, funny, talented man and we missed out on so much when he left too early.

[@Jabarri74]

Better to shine bright and live on than through death old and fade away

[@matthewcollingwood2990]

Cannot believe Rik is gone, such an irreplaceable talent, genius comic. The best Bottom Live blooper isnt on there though, must be in part 2. From the first show and they both completely breakdown. Amazing

[@knowlesy3915]

I think it's a separate video : Rik and Ade break character.

[@martinsear5470]

They did a movie as these characters too, called Guest House Paradiso. Rik Mayall also did a great political satire called The New Statesman. Love these guys, R.I.P. Rick.

[@1998TDM]

Guest House Paradiso is brilliant.

[@bluesmachine1006]

RIP Rik. He was an absolute legend. I’ve been watching him for well over 30 years. Also, he’s known for sweating like a tap is running over him, like Lee Evans is too. My mate went to see Bottom live and Rik singled him out and took the piss out of him for 5 minutes straight 🤪

[@jonathanocallaghan9202]

Rik as lord flashheart in Blackadder is an example of his manic energy and show stealing brilliance.

[@MrTenctonian]

I’m glad you love our Rik, he’s greatly missed ❤️

[@scoterf]

The young one's is worth checking out, rik and abe in the early days :)

[@Dazwootoo]

It's nice to see an American who enjoys and actually gets our sense of humour - this is British comedy at its finest :)

[@lexthepikachu851]

RIP Rik Mayal, the comic Legend. My favourite of the live shows was Live 3: Hooligans Island, some clips were featured in this vid. But the best cock up happened in Act 1 which left Rik in a giggle fit for ages.

[@chipsounder4633]

yeah i agree, ade's genius shines through, R.I.P. true comedy legend

[@Usual2uspect85]

I saw them live on their last tour, every time people heckled, Rik and Ade would annihilate them lol

[@Its_Dave_Just_Dave]

Rick and Ade were just an amazing duo

[@bhurzumii4315]

If you enjoy "Bottom" you'll love "The Dangerous Brothers" - it's a series of sketches featuring Rik and Ade as a pair of psychopathic stuntmen. It's pre-Bottom, very rough around the edges but very, very funny!

[@BrickNewton]

I'd totally forgotten that, gotta go re watch now

[@SadPeterPan1977]

Although I would say maybe skip that until after watching Bottom as they used some of their Dangerous Brothers jokes in Bottom and they were funnier in Bottom because they were more experienced actors at that stage and able to pull them off better.

[@bhurzumii4315]

@@SadPeterPan1977 That's probably a very good suggestion.

@@baronvonthrophousen5930 add me to the list and remember, "Kevin's ear!" My particular favourite was his investigation into aphrodisiacs - it was easy to find in the dictionary as it was near to the front - then struggling to get powdered rhino horn from the zoo, he settled on feeding his girlfriend washing powder without the success he had hoped for. A brilliant character that could have gone so much further.

[@deadcatthinks6725]

I've been lucky enough to be in the audience of their live shows, some of the best performances I've ever seen. One time Ade's entrance on stage (via emerging from inside a fridge) took about 10mins because of all the applause he got each time he opened the door.

[@leeandrewuk]

They don't even edit the live ones, all these bloopers are there intact in the shows, also as the great lord flash heart once said "Woof" R.i.p Rick

It was so sad that Rik Mayall died aged only 56. When The Young Ones TV show came out in The Eighties it was a breath of fresh air. Even my Dad who was born in 1933 found it hilarious.

[@johnbernhardtsen3008]

same!my late step father was born in 1930, he was in disbelief watching these guys since I got the dvd package of Bottom and put it on Christmas weekend of 2006 I believe!

I lost count of the days I spent in school, dog tired and falling asleep at my desk because I'd been up all night watching Bottom Live on late night TV...

[@andrewclayton4181]

Ade Edmondson was on Alan Davies untitled recently. He told the tale of how Joni Mitchell saw him in a studio once, and gave him a huge kiss on the lips. Turned out Vivien was her favourite character in the Young ones. Ade was melting as he told the story.
