American Reacts to Bottom Live: Bloopers Part 1 

R.I.P Rick

Fantastic Quote 👍👍 and very fitting 🤗🤗🤗

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

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

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

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

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

@@roguekiller23231 and The Comic Strip Presents...

So true😔

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

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

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.

@@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

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

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.

Haha hahaha haha hahahahaha WHATEVER!

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??

Mate I would be hyperventilating in the presence of Rik

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

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

Guest House Paradiso is brilliant.

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

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.

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

Sir Edward dangerous!

Mr jolley lives next door? The comic Strip presents film. Hilarious!

Same here, his laugh cracks me up everytime

Yup lol

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

YES, holy crap yes! Other than myself and my father, I have never met anybody who knows about Kevin Turvey. Brilliant.

@@baronvonthrophousen5930 I do, kick up the eighties. :)

Ack-cheloi, i think you'll find you're not the only one. ;)

@@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.

@@richardhunter7363 this is the aaaaaaaaaage……of the train!

I think about 4000 of us did!

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!

Wait what???? He was in Harry Potter??

@@animatechap5176 he played peeves but the scenes got cut.

@@UKHazzie Yes because he upstaged everybody else !

Last time I checked they were on RU-vid. Luckily I've got them all on DVD

pretend your watching ben elton. what a line

Miss that man so much. Absolutely cried my eyes out when he died.
