Ace Rimmer...a man who can pilot a spacecraft round and round the edge of a black hole, a man who can wrestle and surf a crocodile in mid-air, rescue a princess from a Nazi concentration camp...all the while making time to help orphans, having drinks with and giving thanks to the engineers who help make his missions a success, befriending whoever he meets, and making time for the ladies, those who need him, and then more ladies. Sigh...WHAT A GUY.
I think Rimmers problem isn’t a lack of motivation, I think he had talent and knowledge he just didn’t have the ability to apply to become an officer, and I think his lack of confidence was a drain on his charisma. Admittedly I think his pompous entitlement didn’t help him either.
@@SpykeTheSUboth Ace and Arnold were unable to face their opposites in the flesh. That commonality was an interesting contrast to Listers genuine delight that his alternative had succeeded where he had failed. It was a subtle touch that highlighted even the least successful Lister’s good nature did not possess the flaws that even the best version of Rimmer retained.
Melly: What are you doing lunchtime Ace: Not sure why Melly: Because if your interested I’ll be in my quarters covered in maple syrup Ace: I’m sorry Melly I don’t fraternise with the staff Melly: I resign Ace: I’ll be there at 13:00
Love how deep Red Dwarf can be. Ace's distain for Arnie could be that he's pissed off that he didn't conquer the demons that Ace could. So he's more frustrated with him than anything. as he is the living example of what Arnold Rimmer could be.
@@SpykeTheSU really good point mate but I think if you are a good person (which I have no doubt you are) youre "ideal self" would like you because you are a good person, if they dont, they are just arrogant tossers 🤣.
@@mermaidman1985 I wouldn't hate my perfect self as a person, but it might fuck with my emotions knowing all the ways I could have succeeded but didn't especially if all my friends were immediately more charmed by my perfect self.
@@SpykeTheSU It's a great thought experiment, would be genuinely interesting to see what the reaction would be, especially since we all have such different versions of whats ideal!
@@-TheRealChris I would have loved to have seen an episode where our Lister meets the Hologramatic Lister that is dating Kochanski, could have been some good drama from something like especially if our Rimmer came back
As much as I think Rimmer is a pathetic worm of a man, I can't really help but feel Ace had a stick up his ass here. Rimmer's a soft light hologram at this point. He literally cannot do any of what Ace asked him to do.
Commander Rimmer I ask you Ace barf city I bet you anything he wears women’s underwear there all the same his type you know hurly burly rough and tumble macho marine in public and behind closed doors he’ll be wearing a taffeta ball gown drinking mint dulips whipping the house boy~Arnold J Rimmer

Such a brilliant pastiche of the sound of Berlin's 'Take My Breath Away' and obvious Top Gun spoof. Fantastic!

If Arnold Rimmer is what we are without motivation or self-reflection, then Ace Rimmer is the complete opposite.

Ace Rimmers first appearance had me in hysterical laughing fits, fantastic and genius! What a guy
The Universe needs a chap to look up to, someone to write wrongs and just generally be brave handsome and all-round magnificent...

It's amazing how that wig made him so much better looking!
Don’t forget the “Blue Steel” look
To be fair he's pretty good looking, it's not just the wig.
if you're interested, I'll be in my quarters at lunchtime, covered in taramasalata
sorry bongo, im strictly butterside up
I didn't know your bread was buttered that side Bongo.
Sorry lunch is on Mel.....
Would it make a difference if it was... houmous?
This really takes my breath away.
This sounds like a better version of take my breath away
Well, a goofier version, that is (Obviously!)
That was actually intentional
What a guy
Look you can say what you like about me but I won’t hear a word against Berlin here..
I *always* thought that "Take My Breath away".Was the weakest song on theTop Gun OST. Plus "Mighty Wings" was> Danger Zone.
Howard Goodall needs more attention in the soundtrack world. Very talented. To be able emulate the Top Gun music feel. Yet still makes it his own.
Howard Goodall writes musicals and used to write for TV and movies, he has plenty of attention in the industry.

Ace Rimmer is awesome
So glad someone made this, I used to listen to it on dvd. We all love ace but ain't going to say the line lol
That was Ace Rimmer, we're lucky to be alive
I now have the frickin' theme from frickin' Top Gun stuck in my head, probably forever. Darn it.
Only one Rimmer dislikes this
True. 😂
lmao
Still only one lol!!!!
Still, wow.
Still just the one smee hee.
What a guy.
Stoke me a clipper I'll be back for Christmas lol
Love this so much…

"Had a feeling you were back, rubber shares went up."
Top Gun, Blade Runner and the Star Cop theme song are defiantly influences behind the Ace Rimmer theme music.
If you're interested, I'll be in my room covered in taramasalat.
Would it make any difference if it was hummus?
@@andrewdinatale8207 sorry bongo, lunch is... on millie
