misses the best bit with the reveal.. "why Eddie.. I've never seen anything like this before.. In mY EnTiRe FuCkInG LiFe...!

[@halialeigh8087]

I absolutely adore every time Rik or Ade messes up. It’s a beautiful thing, and this one is my absolute favorite one😂♥️♥️

[@yukittywinters6024]

My favourite scene from Bottom Live 3. RIP Rik :'(

[@adellethompson5120]

Two things that made these two actors and friends so Great 1) they were genuinely good friends and worked very well together 2) when the messed up (and they did) it was really funny and they didn't take it too seriously

[@kisbie]

Adelle Thompson None of this is messed up though. The ‘mistake’ is actually deliberate.

[@martinputt6421]

@@kisbie It must have been messed up the first time

[@myname7056]

3) They belonged to the masses.

[@jodawson3681]

Rik having a giggle fit! Funniest thing ever! :D

[@maz7726]

Could anyone see a today comedian (lossely said) doing this? they would use the canned laughter machine and pipe down after 10 seconds. Almost like yank 'comedy' has infiltrated.

[@kisbie]

the turbanator Alfredo I thought a big criticism of today’s comedians was that they were always laughing at their own jokes. Stewart Lee even does a routine about it.

[@taddybear4244]

This is the funniest live moment I've ever seen. Even if it was planned, it's so perfectly acted that I laugh until I cry every time I watch it.

[@saintetienne755]

I love 'silly' - I love to see people in fits of giggles - Rik you were a gem!

[@youngfreak3266]

To comedians such as Mayall, and Edmondson, I suppose this isn't so much a fluff as a golden opportunity to show how good their improv skills still are,/were.

[@kisbie]

youngfreak32 None of this is improvised though. They did this exact routine in every performance.

[@patrickhannon4217]

@youngfreak32 and @kisbie to be fair both of you could be wrong or right, but it takes a LOT of acting skill to laugh as genuinely as Rik was laughing here, you can't *fake* that laugh!

[@rhyswhittington8759]

@@kisbie yeah but it likely happened once like that and then you added it into the routine.

[@vinny142]

@@kisbie They did have a couple of fake bloopers, but I'm willing to bet this is a genuine one.

R.I.P Rik Mayall

[@AmandaLeighSpitfire]

My mum and dad were in the audience 😊

[@markhibbert6133]

"and being very unprofessional" lol

[@itsconnorstime]

I like to think this went down so well they added it to the other performances.

[@christophergodfrey8756]

Great work to muddle through that 😂😂😂

[@wileyoungfella1044]

lolol rik pissing himself xD

[@OfficialFingazMC]

Still makes me laugh everytime! RIP Rik!

[@FracturedPixel]

How I feel bad for people that grow up without this xD

[@synaesthesia2010]

this probably was, most of the fluffs in the live shows were acording to reports fom repeat attendees

[@Damoskinos]

What a Great Clip

[@paulwalker6230]

I love this. I know that some of the Bottom live "adlibs" were scripted but this one doesn't feel so.

[@christophergodfrey8756]

Dont think it was , That laugh and giggle was genuine lol

[@jameslund1984]

R.I.P Rik

[@AceripXF]

ROTFLMAO!!! 1 of the best moments ever LOL rik cant stop giggling very contagious lol

[@danielwilliamson6180]

2:35 LOL

[@maz7726]

these 2 would still have the modern 'comedians' sulking and spouting empty words.

[@schizoidboy]

It makes me wonder if any of this is improvised, ad libed, or deliberate. It doesn't matter because it is funny.

[@15heston]

schizoidboy unless you went to one of the shows that weren’t recorded we’ll never know!!!

[@RetroAdzz]

15heston Did you go to one of there shows that wasn't recorded!?

[@HatsTour]

schizoidboy I saw this live at the Hammersmith Apollo. I can confirm that this is a deliberate "blooper". They did the exact same thing when it wasn't recorded. Like you say though, it doesn't matter, its still hilarious.

[@andrewthorne3570]

Alot of the time the script was altered depending on how things went down with the audience. A lot of mistakes were actually mistakes once that got a big laugh and then became part of the show

[@rubysutherland2033]

Why don't they make anything like this anymore?

[@ikol458]

I could do it given the right amount of cash

[@tommcewan7936]

Because these guys were both absolutely unique, and their pairing up was even more so. There'll never be another Rick or another Ade, and even if there somehow were, they'd probably never meet, get into showbiz and team up. I sometimes wonder if Mr Edmonson is actually the more talented of the two, though Rick always seemingly took the lead and had more energy whenever the audience could see them, a bit like Eric Morcambe to Ernie Wise - he's done some amazing straight solo acting.

[@DTronicsUK]

you need to add the section from act 2 to the end of this then this video is complete, and is it me but is this video very quite

[@petemarr824]

The exact same "little mistake" with the door was done at Liverpool Empire too. Its obviously meant to happen for laughs.

[@tommcewan7936]

Maybe it was a real mistake the first time, but it went down so well they decided to keep it?

[@SuperJNG18]

Tom McEwan The way Rik is pissing himself laughing here makes me think it was a real screw up this time

[@lazylauren111]

maybe some of the others, but definitely not this one.
