The legend Rik Mayall playing Flasheart. If you ever get a chance, watch 'bottom' - my favourite work of his

[@MrDCWood]

Bottom, The Young Ones, The New Statesman…all legendary sitcoms. All essential stuff. 👍🏻

[@AutomaticDuck300]

Guest House Paradiso is hilarious

[@shogunsniper2583]

Dont forget the Baron von richthoven is Eddie from bottom aswell 😊

[@bobbymimms]

Even 'Filthy,Rich and Catflap' had plenty of golden moments.@@MrDCWood

[@MrDCWood]

@@bobbymimms I agree with that. Filthy, Rich & Catflap had some good stuff. 👍🏻

[@MarkmanOTW]

So you saw the great comedy duo Rick Mayhall (Flashheart) and Ade Edmonson (Baron von Richthofen) together. Now you've got to react to 'Bottom' their slapstick, violent humour in the TV series (1990's/2000's) and Live is legendry. You'll love it. Their early comedy outings include the groundbreaking 'Young Ones' that had cult following in the early 80's.

[@torilath]

Started laughing just thinking about the 'Trick or Treat' episode :)

[@AdeboFunkyVoodoo]

My great grandfather was in the flying corps. He lasted more than 20 minutes. In fact he lasted until the third battle of Ypres. Shotdown over no man's land. No idea if he died in his kite, in the crash or if he survived all that and was killed in the ground. So this is a rather special episode of Blackadder for me. Especially as Flasheart was chosen to represent the RFC. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@Nigel_The_Crab]

The "Don't slouch Darling" line kills me everytime 🤣🤣🤣

[@CommissionerSleer]

Obviously, it goes without saying but I'm going to say it anyway: it takes a very special comic actor to do a cameo in a legendary sitcom starring the likes of Rowan Atkinson, Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry to steal the show in every scene he's in. And Ade too. Two of my all time favorite lines in any comedy: "How lucky you are to find ze toilet so amusing. For us it is a mundane and functional item but for you... ze basis of an entire culture" and "For you, a man of honour, ZE HUMILIATION VILL BE UNBEARABLE!"

[@Weareeverything2023]

Rim Mayall on being asked to appear in Black Adder had one demand, he got the funniest lines and could act his character to the extreme. The guy delivers every time.

[@thecornedbeefcouncil9792]

Nearly at the final episode of Blackadder, one of the greatest episodes of any British comedy ever.

[@nez9751]

Can’t wait for them to watch that last episode.

[@SenzuDream]

Came to comment this.

[@veryvarley6706]

Rik Mayall and Ade Edmonson together is always a special moment. I see a few others have mentioned the show Bottom ( with the two mentioned ). It would be unlike any show you have ever seen. Shouting, swearing, arguing, fighting all with a healthy dose of stupidity thrown in.

[@davidmontgomery9846]

Rik Mayall in the Young Ones is a must.The best anarchic sit com ever made .

[@sidrat2009]

You will never be prepared for the final episode of Blackadder Season 4.

[@ianstopher9111]

I think a lot of commentators have been doing their damnest to set expectations for the final episode.

[@MrDCWood]

Rik Mayall…an eternal legend who is still loved and missed to this day. Lord Flashheart was one of his greatest roles, and yet he was only in two episodes of the original series. It says so much of what an amazing character Flashheart was and what a leviathan of a performer and comedian Rik truly was. WOOF! 🫡

[@jimcook1161]

He was actually in the last episode of the first series as well. But because of contract with The Comic Strip he was listed as Mad Gerald in the cast list.

[@MrDCWood]

@@jimcook1161 I’d genuinely forgotten that. Probably because Rik’s performance as Lord Flasheart - and Blackadder Series 2-4 being a massive improvement over the first series - overshadowed everything else.

[@smiddlehurst1]

“Besides it’d take a superman to get him out of there” And at that moment the distant sounds of a Beagle boarding his doghouse drifted over the land….

[@jessiechen279]

"Woof!" "Sound's like cruft's in here!" Always gets me ...

[@ThunderForce2000]

The line was originally ’Sound’s like Battersea Dog’s Home here!’ but Rowan Atkinson just couldn’t say the line because of his stammer so it was changed to Cruft’s.

[@Isleofskye]

[@dcanmore]

Ade Edmondson (The Red Baron) and Rik Mayall (Flashheart) were a comedy duo, they had their own hilariously mental series called Bottom, you guys have to do it.

[@DiceSully]

This episode always makes me smile. At college, my Dad was in the same play as Rik Mayall, and was higher billed too. He also had a higher rank in the RAF than Flasheart. Two facts he likes to remind me of whether we see this episode.

[@thecornedbeefcouncil9792]

You really need to see ‘Bottom’. Rik Mayall and Ade Edmonson, RMs character is the complete opposite of Flasheart but he’s just as funny 😂

[@darrenwicks5772]

Rick mayall was a comedy legend gone way before his time. He appeared in the young ones which was revolutionary at the time. He is also very well known for Bottom and the new statesmen. Bottom live plus the series are really worth reviewing.

[@nickrobinson8339]

Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson started in comedy together as the Dangerous Brothers. Try and catch them in the Dangerous Brothers World Of Danger, doing their impression of the 1970s film The Towering Inferno. This was their first time on British TV together I believe. I was hooked from that moment. Rik Mayall, in a solo roll, played a character called Kevin Turvey Investigative Reporter.

[@ogodei70]

"Don't slouch, Darling"🤣🤣🤣

[@tonygriffin_]

Adrian Edmondson (playing Baron Von Richtofen) and Rik Mayall (playing Flashheart) were in an 80's comedy series called The Young Ones, which is worth checking out.

[@jean6370]

Been waiting for you to finish watching S4,you have missed E5 & 6….

[@duncanheron-brown4810]

Agree with all the comments how brilliant Rik and Ade are and this is the best episode of all the Blackadders…loving watching your journey through all the Blackadders. 2TU!

[@ThePaynes2022]

Are the final epsiodes going up at any time?

[@Mezamesasu]

Rik Mayall, British legend!

[@NJClerk]

This episode is for sure in the top 3 of the entire series! It is however not even close to the series finale. IYKYK. Can't wait for the video on that one.

[@JontyBlue67]

Love that you guys found these BA series, they are so well written and have such a talented cast British comedians/actors!

[@SharmanSomerset]

Bottom and Man Down need to be on your watchlist, Rik’s energy is always off his chain and his five mantra for life at Exeter University is an absolute must for any time you’re feeling down x

[@BoldRam]

Rik and Ade together is always a treat. Absolute legends 👌👌

[@gavinmurray5405]

This series was aired back in the UK in 1989. In 1994, I was in the Royal Air Force in Saudi Arabia for a 4-month tour. There was little or no entertainment. Sattelite services were limited and even the US forces channels didn't show much. As it was, most US Air Force personnel I served alongside had seen and loved Blackadder, especially season 4. We had a VCR and TV combi back then and someone had donated the Season 4 boxset. It got some wear. Nightly screenings for both US and British airmen. One of the things that kept me sane, pre-internet and proper cellular phones with text messaging.

[@tobeski]

More Rik Mayall (and Ade Edmondson and indeed Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry) can be seen in "The Young Ones", "Filthy, Rich and Catflap", "Bottom" and "The Comic Strip Presents..."

Totally brilliant, only one factual part is Flashy could not be packing the tackle of a grand national winner as they are all mares all geldings, other than that so funny, every line is a belter.

[@sallyannrowlands1154]

You totally got this now! It's sheer quick wit ..and so many one liners . You really need to watch it over and over to catch them all really...it never gets old. God it's so well written.. best comedy of all time . ❤❤❤

[@stuartcook8823]

Every episode of series 4 is, strangely, becoming your favourite as you go through them. Episode 6 is the best piece of comedy you'll ever watch. Be prepared.

[@burnsyboyy7534]

I just miss Rik Mayall so much can’t believe he has been dead 10 years already! Him and Ade Edmondon were so great together back in the 90s.

[@paulhanson5164]

Had the pleasure of spending a few minutes in the company of Rik Mayall about the time he was becoming famous, its a memory I treasure, as much fun in the flesh as on film. You should watch him and his comedy partner Ade ( the Red Baron ) in Bottom.

[@MrChiddler]

I think this is possibly the best 30 minutes of comedy ever made. It’s Beatles level brilliance. Always a true joy to watch it.

[@hyacinth673]

Love rik mayall such a brilliant actor so sad he died so early

[@timholder6825]

Lord Flasheart played by Rik Mayall is part of a long time comedy double act with Ade Edmondson who plays Baron Von Richthofen. Check out, The Young Ones, or, Bottom, or a performance of their alter egos, The Dangerous Brothers. Like, Bottom, extremely violent, comedy slapstick.

[@VXGaming]

Bottom Live is a must.

You got to watch "Bottm" the TV series and follow it up with the Live stage shows of "Bottom" and "Guesthouse Paradiso" with Rick Mayal and Ade Edmondson.

[@davidberesford7009]

This episode is a beautiful mix of the totally over the top Flasheart, and the cynical smart Blackadder, flavoured with a sprinkling of little gems from the rest of the cast. It was good to see you guys enjoying it. Keep Reacting.

Hilarious slapstick comedy duo Rick Mayal (Lord Flasheart) & Ade Edmondson (German Officer) can also be found in 80’s series The Young Ones, the Comic Strip & Bottom (which you should definitely check out) - Rick Mayal also played Mad Gerald the insane dungeon prisoner in Blackadder series 1

Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson where the main characters in 'the young ones' which was a slapstick comedy and became cult watching. I'd recommend you give the University challwnge one, which features motorhead!

21:43 Baron von Richthofen- "Finally the two greatest gentlemen fliers in the world meet. Two men of honour, who have jousted together in the cloud-strune glory of the skies, face to face at last. How often I have rehurced this moment of destiny in my dreams. The valour we two encapsulate, the unspoken nobility of our comradeship..." 22:06 Lord Flasheart- "Puff!" Love this. Gets me every single time.

[@McCuipandKitty-qw1wj]

The Darling joke was only supposed to last a few jokes in the first episode and that was the end. When the audience went mad over it roaring with laughter they wrote it in throughout the rest of the series

Watch the 2 seasons of "The Young Ones". Rik Mayall (Captain Flashheart) is in it and it's utter, utter brilliant. Early 80's "Alternative comedy" that truly broke new ground and is so influential.

[@alexanderharris5022]

Depressing History Fact: One of the German heroes of World War One was Herman Georing. He was in the German Airforce, known as the Luftwaffe. He was an extremely skilled and talented young pilot who eventually suffered injury during the war. This injury led to a severe addiction to drugs which contributed heavily to his damaged mental state. Unfortunately he inevitably went on to join the National Socialist Party and was head of the Luftwaffe during WorldWar Two. Going on to contribute heavily to organisations like the Gestapo and the horrors that came out of that war.

[@stevenstorey-k2w]

If you like Rik Mayall don't miss series 1 he does a fantastic "Mad Gerald" in the final episode.

[@speleokeir]

Some classic double acts in this episode with Rik Mayall & Ade Edmondson and Stephen Fry & Hugh Laurie. As well as their sketch show 'A bit of Fry & Laurie' Hugh & Stephen were brilliantly cast as Jeeves & Wooster in a TV adaptation of the classic P.G Woodhouse books. As others have said Rik & Ade are great in Bottom and started out as the Dangerous Brothers before starring in 'The Young Ones' which was a groundbreaking show when alternative comedy started in the 80s. Lord Flashheart is inspired by the character Flashman from the series of books by George MacDonald Fraser which are hilarious. The books are a combination of historical fiction, boys own adventure and comedy and are one of the funniest reads you'll ever encounter. Flashman was originally a bully in the classic book 'Tom Brown's School Days' but Fraser took the character and made him into a wonderful anti-hero. Everyone believes Flashman's a hero of the British Empire, whilst in reality he's a coward, a cad, a bounder, a rotter and a womaniser of the Terry Thomas variety. Because his superiors think he's a hero he's always 'volunteered' for whatever lunatic suicidal mission they come up with and can't say no without losing his reputation and standing in society, so does everything he can to dodge out of it, much like Blackadder, only to go from the frying pan into the fire. Basically he's a mix of both Blackadder and Flasheart. N.B. George Mac Donald Fraser also wrote a number of screen plays for films such as the 'Three Musrkater series of the 70s, the Bond film Octopussy and Force 10 from Navarone.
