The Rimmer Experience | Red Dwarf | BBC 

He/she did, but then Disney sued him/her and it ended up with even their distant ancestors owing millions.

Howard Goodall, does most of the music for Red Dwarf.

Howard Goodall usually just writes the music but clearly did singing duties here as well!

Gmackematix This could also be called "The Trump experience" Just sayin

J. Macleod Omg they shoud make one about Trump.

Yeah - I was just going to comment that the version I recorded on my Mac Quadra in the 1990's was better than this!

Whenever I have a successful vacation or large errand or life event where a bunch of good stuff got done, I always quote Cat when he says "all in all, a 100 percent successful trip!"

We lost them buddy but look on the bright side, We lost them buddy!.

"Mr Rimmer! Sir! They've taken Mr Rimmer!" "Quick, let's get out of here, before they bring him back."

“There gone buddy, but look on the bright side, there gone buddy!!”

@@MATNJAN1 Watching you guys butcher words and quotes is very cringey

Heck, they wanted Tim Curry for the 8th Doctor. Imagine that.

really? he coulda been good

ShadowSonic2 He actually has a good deal of eccentricity that would have been brilliant for the Doctor, would have much preferred him for 8.

RandyPantheGoatBoy Yeah I can imagine him being a smeghead behind the TARDIS console and driving his companions insane.

.

👍

I can't stop laughing. That's amazing! XD

Brilliant

👏

Fucking DAMN you, I had to sing that out loud to see if it fit the song. And it does. Fucking damn you! :p.

That’s a joke right?

Nah he was a smeghead who blamed everyone else for his own incompetence and failures. But in light of all that, he can take solace in the fact he was Alexander the greats chief eunech!!

Charlie Calafato, you are 100 percent correct.

Smeghead Rimmer.

He's one of the best characters on tv

Yeah, she ruined it

@@iambored2094 Can't hate a bit of eye candy. Not that Rimmer's bulge wasn't spectacular in that bicycling outfit from a previous season 😂

She was the Jump the Shark moment in Red Dwarf

Me too, utter genius

Actually, I thought the episode Backwards was great. Lister " where's the cat? ". Rimmer " you know, in the bushes. ". Idly looking around suddenly looks at each other. " We've got to stop him! ". Lols!!

Still laughing everytime

It's genius, but it makes me sad. Red Dwarf is so melancholic. Very funny, but always makes me think of death.

Screaming and falling off my seat when I first saw it

matt8220 He's a smee-heee!

matt8220 He's a smeee He's a smeee He's a smeee heee He's a smeg head

A complete and total one.

+matt8220 (Throws up the bird) Swivel on it, punk!

"He's a Smeee Heaaa!!!!"

Superhen - Songs and gaming I know, that's what Arnold said when he left to be the new Ace Rimmer.

What a guy!

@@DkSchadow ha ha, totally forgot that one. What a smeeeeg heeeead.

Somebody save us before I wet me keks!

“What am I a woodwork teacher”

Arnold Judas Rimmer, BSc. SSc.

"& he DOESN'T need a ZIMMER"...hahahaha ;)

And yet he did not know how to swim! Is it a squid induced reality... or is it???

Breaks me every time lol

Wow you wrote this comment 14 years ago lol

@@albo181 If they were traveling at 0.999% lightspeed they would have only experienced 7 months due to time relativity and dilation.

Lol, yeah, create a parody :D

I'm gonna copy-paste this for joking elsewhere. Hope you don't mind. (I'm still doing this even if you do. Its too good a chance to pass up. I did however copy out this whole song: If you're in trouble he will save the day, He's brave and he's fearless come what may, Without him the mission would go as-tray He's Arnold, Arnold, Arnold rimm-er, Without him life would be much grimm-er, He's handsome, trim, and no-one's slimm-er He will nev-er need a zimm-er. He's Arnold, Arnold, Arnold rimm-er, More reliable than a gar-den Strim-er, He's never been mistaken for your brin-er He got bald, and his head doesn't glim-er Master of the wit and the repartee, His command of space directives is un-canny, How come he's such a genius? don't ask me, He's Arnold, Arnold, Arnold rimm-er, He's also a fantastic swimm-er And if you play your cards right, then he just might cooome back for dinn-er.)

"He's never been mistaken for Yul Brynner He's not bald, and his head doesn't glimmer."

Also, it's come "round" for dinner.

Thank you. I shall now promptly not correct myself.

Chris Barrie always had top billing.... What a guy!

Thank you Thank you. I alwas favoured Rimmer despite his attitude, because he was a far more interesting charactr to delve into. He was always the lead for me, giving such interesting stories to follow and such amazing performances! Holo ship and other emotionally charged episodes like it proove how pivotal a character he is.

I guess I'm a weirdo but I always found Rimmer the most relatable character.

And Rimmer's alter-ego... Ace Rimmer : "Throw some kippers on the barbie and I'll be back in a flash."

what a guy

black books could be something you may like as well

You should watch bottom.

Why thank you! We are proud of our ridiculous comedy

I always thought Monty Python wasn't that funny, it became very popular in America but its not hahaha funny, its more like ha funny.

@@Mike--Oxmall Red Dwarf was HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! funny for me, in any location.

What a guy!

Asome

Smoke me a kipper, i'll be back for breakfast.

Lucky! Hopefully I’ll be meeting him in s September!

Stoke me a clipper, I'll be back for Christmas

Good thing he is back

Yehhhhhhhhh

Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.

If you play your cards right, then he might just come round for dinner.

I owe my life to him...😃

S Cameron He just shows up for breakfast. 😂

Kryten crated a VR metaphor of toilet paper? I mean that last polish is gleaming!

The sheer fact that Lister knew exactly how Rimmer is using toilet paper...

What a guy...

That's Arnold J Rimmer! We're lucky to be alive! **Dies**

I’d buy a VR headset just for that.

Sweet. Jesus.

what create more nightmare fuel?

It would end civilization as we know it.

I would imagine that the motion sickness alone would kill most people lol

lone wolf 12 IS HERE!

Most of the Britcoms that started in the eighties were/are at the top of their game - just look at Red Dwarf, Blackadder, Bottom, The Young Ones

only fools and horses.

Still watching it on Netflix as we speak!

​@Red_Beard2798 Yeah they were all truly Excellent and of Coarse, Only Fools an Horses.

+Richard Strong I remember seeing this with my dad and he was laughing his head off.

I really loved red dwarf when I was a kid too.. just started watching all the episodes again. It's a shame the video quality isn't as good as we're used to these days but it's still really fantastic and enjoyable to watch

I remember watching this on RU-vid three minutes ago

My brother and I laughed so hard that we fell both eventually fell off the sofa 😂

I am a kid and this made me laugh TIL I was dead

Ironic

If I say no will you get cross

The real question is..... "...who will clean up the mess?"

The King of the Potato People agrees.

He did't sing it. It was sung by someone else and Chris lip synched it.

Heidi Myers I knew he was a smeghead.

lol had red dwarf nights years ago with a few friends where we were each a character as nominated by the others i was nominated rimmer

That could be taken as extreme innuendo. :P

Does Mr Flibble know about this?

Smeg head

What a guy...

These were one of the few DVDs out of dozens I converted to MP4 to have on my Apple TV. You never know when you have to share RD with someone who's never seen it.

I owe my life to him

12 years and in absolute hysterics!! The one scene i am trying to find, is the complete scene to lister fighting the knight! does anyone know where i can find it? LISTER OF SMEG!

@@renlentlesstourist7574 - dailymotion has all of the episodes 🙌

An Ungallifreyan Time Lord thanks

Thank you 😊

You sad person. Too much time on your hands.

@@rhynouk1 Not really. I just copy-pasted from the wiki.

@@uny4781 "No rhymes left now apart from quimmer." You do know what a quim is don't you?

Polymorph springs to mind. They loaded everything into one ship when Arnold decided it was too yellow to be real and proceeded to blow it all up. Also Worked with a guy who wrote a to z of red dwarf. 😂 It was still a small local operation back then.

They way they wrote red dwaf was amazing, it was all about wit not what's happened in the past week

I like both of them

Chris was missed terribly, and so is Rob Grant. When he left the writing staff the quality of the scripts went down quite a lot.

giles852002 red dwarf just wasn’t red dwarf without rimmer. Like sheldon makes the Big Bang and Gibbs makes NCIS. I stopped watching red dwarf once rimmer left. It just wasn’t the same without him.

Britass was a inane and diabolically bad show.

FeistyGreenSnake this episode helped you filled up on Rimmer until the next season

Arnold Arnold Arnold Rimmer without him life would be much grimmer.

Victoria Grace, How much?

A lot. Red Dwarf needed Rimmer so Kryten started stealing Rimmer characteristics but Rimmer mixed up with Kryten inside Kryten is a toxic mixture. Kryten has gone insane.

Victoria Grace Well, that's true. Rimmer's sole purpose was to keep Lister sane. I guess that went for Kryten as well.

Ruth Rene And Victoria Grace. Not quite correct. Both the Cat and kryten's appearance on Red Dwarf, was beyond Hollys control.The Cat was already on Red Dwarf albeit it took 3 million years to become what he is now. (holly had no control over him) (call it evolution if you will) (the Cat is A Cat) Kryten was found/rescued from the Nova 5, a crashed space ship, again Holly had no control over Kryten coming aboard Red Dwarf( not that holly would ever object anyway, It wasn't in the script) Rimmer's hologram however was generated by holly and as you correctly say, to keep Dave Lister sane. You should also remember that continuity is not one of Red Dwarf's strong points and why should it be? The best way to watch Red Dwarf is not to ask questions or try and make sense of it but merely watch what you see. Although it may help if you actually watched Red Dwarf from the beginning to part understand who is who and why. after that? who cares and what does it matter anyway?

It's always a pleasure to hear about our brothers across the ocean getting as much enjoyment as we from Red Dwarf, I am still of the mind that, generally speaking, the comedy and writing is a touch too "British" for a wider appreciation over there, but it makes it all the more special whenever I do meet/speak to someone such as yourself who cherishes it. As a brief aside, if you haven't read the novels yet, I highly recommend them, not only are they exceptionally funny, but (and this may not be particularly important to you, but it is to me lol) they're also (for the most part, there's a brief dip in quality in one of the books) exemplary science fiction books in of themselves. Something that they could have easily not have bothered with and they still would have been as popular. If the notion of reading them is a bit too daunting (they're quite large books), I have good news, Chris Barrie provided the narration for all the audiobook versions, and be it that his first interaction with the media world was as an impressionist, you can be rest assured that all the boys from the dwarf are suitably voiced.

British humour is the best. Also check out BOTTOM and BLACKADDER

_Charli12 A zimmer frame is a walking frame with little casters. It's for elderly or people with mobility problems to help them walk.

This is something that only the British can get away with. That and Doctor Who.

+devospudc agreed that's why both pilots for Red Dwarf US failed well that and one of them made Cat female

Lets not forget the American Doctor Who "movie." Good doctor, decent companion, but such a horrible story that it killed the franchise for almost ten more years.

@@christianalanwilson434 Doctor Who is British

The Paul McGann tv movie was an American co production with the BBC. As a result,it was Crap. Hell, the even ruined the theme tune.

Smeg, an Italian company, has been around since the 1940's/50's

+neil froggy crompton In his own mind. "No officer with false teeth should attempt oral sex in zero gravity"

+Mike M he's a total smeg head & always gets them wrong & kryten always has to say what he has misquoted. easy solution is to take your teeth out first & the problem is solved lol, i can appreciate the humour in the directive too & that is the whole point of the dialogue in the 1st place right?

Yeah. He got fed up of Kryten using them against him.

i know they dont its ben off the air for years, if you dont cound red dwarf x

simonrcz If I ever get the money this is the first thing I'm doing with it.

He actually narrated the Red Dwarf books the show is based on. It's fantastic because he does all the voices brilliantly. They're on RU-vid.

He is an incredibly talented impressionist! He read the first few books of the Red Dwarf novelization (which is possibly even more fun than the show btw) and did such an excellent job, he makes the subsequent readers look rather pathetic.

Knowing dave they will call it red dwarf IX not XI
