Ade Edmondsons quote from when Rik died
“There were times when Rik and I were writing together when we almost died laughing. They were some of the most carefree stupid days I ever had and I feel privileged to have shared them with him. And now he's died for real. Without me. Selfish b*****d."
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
You've seen the emotion for Sean Lock, Rik Mayall's passing was another painful one for the nation.
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
These two were just made for each other. The chemistry was real and their friendship solid. Bottom was typical anarchic British humour.
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...
The comment about Stephen Fry was because he was doing a play with Rik, and he walked out and disappeared for a while and was found in Belgium in a disguise. It later turned out he had a nervous breakdown. That wasn't discovered until after this was done
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.
i don’t often feel ‘properly’ sad when a celebrity passes away because obviously i don’t actually know them as real people but the passing of rik absolutely devastated me. he truly was an incredibly kind, funny, talented man and we missed out on so much when he left too early.
Better to shine bright and live on than through death old and fade away
I was at 2 of the live shows and we were in tears. Rik and Ade were childhood heroes for me, I was practically raised on The Young Ones and Bottom.
The Bottom live shows are amazing, hooligans island is my favourite. Even knowing what happens i still cry with laughter. The chemistry those guys had on stage was incredible
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??
Years ago, my brother was on a flight with Rik on the same flight. He says he was the most natural funniest people he has ever heard or been in the presence of. Became an instant fan afterwards. Had the whole plane laughing from beginning to end.
Mate I would be hyperventilating in the presence of Rik
Cannot believe Rik is gone, such an irreplaceable talent, genius comic. The best Bottom Live blooper isnt on there though, must be in part 2. From the first show and they both completely breakdown. Amazing
I think it's a separate video : Rik and Ade break character.
I’m glad you love our Rik, he’s greatly missed ❤️
RIP Rik. He was an absolute legend. I’ve been watching him for well over 30 years. Also, he’s known for sweating like a tap is running over him, like Lee Evans is too. My mate went to see Bottom live and Rik singled him out and took the piss out of him for 5 minutes straight 🤪
It's nice to see an American who enjoys and actually gets our sense of humour - this is British comedy at its finest :)
They did a movie as these characters too, called Guest House Paradiso. Rik Mayall also did a great political satire called The New Statesman. Love these guys, R.I.P. Rick.
Guest House Paradiso is brilliant.
The young one's is worth checking out, rik and abe in the early days :)
Kevin Turvey Investigates is worth a watch also, just rik on his own but still comedy gold
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!
Rick and Ade were just an amazing duo
Rik as lord flashheart in Blackadder is an example of his manic energy and show stealing brilliance.
I saw them live on their last tour, every time people heckled, Rik and Ade would annihilate them lol
I love it when he forgets his lines, and Ade taunts him about it...a lot ! 😋
The clips are hilarious, man I'm loving your laugh, and if that alone puts a smile on viewers faces like it has mine, then GREAT JOB👍❤️🇬🇧🇺🇸
Same here, his laugh cracks me up everytime
Yup lol
I saw these two live, I have never laughed so much.... I was at the Bristol show shown and I was crying with laughter all the way through !!!!
RIP Rik Mayal, the comic Legend.
My favourite of the live shows was Live 3: Hooligans Island, some clips were featured in this vid. But the best cock up happened in Act 1 which left Rik in a giggle fit for ages.
yeah i agree, ade's genius shines through, R.I.P. true comedy legend
Whoever recommended this deserves a pat on the back. Hilarious!
I think about 4000 of us did!
I've been lucky enough to be in the audience of their live shows, some of the best performances I've ever seen. One time Ade's entrance on stage (via emerging from inside a fridge) took about 10mins because of all the applause he got each time he opened the door.
Bottom is one of my favourite shows. Brings back so many good memories of the 90's when I was a kid and me and my friend would take the VHS tape from his dad's cupboard to watch it. Nice to watch these clips with you! I'll have to have another Bottom binge next weekend
Thankyou for this. Rik and Ade are so close to my heart, watching you laugh at them made me so happy. Fantastic reaction, your laugh never disappoints.
I lost count of the days I spent in school, dog tired and falling asleep at my desk because I'd been up all night watching Bottom Live on late night TV...
I’m a huge Bottom fan. I love seeing you appreciate this amazing comedy duo
If you enjoy "Bottom" you'll love "The Dangerous Brothers" - it's a series of sketches featuring Rik and Ade as a pair of psychopathic stuntmen. It's pre-Bottom, very rough around the edges but very, very funny!
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!
You would absolutely love those stage shows. The first one is probably the best thing they ever did
I was fortunate to see these live back in the day. I nearly ruptured my stomach howling with laughter
My favourite series of live shows across any platform and genre ever.
That part are he says “very much so young man” and “say that again” got me good! 😂
It was so sad that Rik Mayall died aged only 56.
When The Young Ones TV show came out in The Eighties it was a breath of fresh air. Even my Dad who was born in 1933 found it hilarious.
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!
Sadly this is the last of great british comedy. There will never be another duo like this fantastic comedians.
Such a great duo. Rik left such a legacy. I was lucky to see him live a million moons ago and will never forget how funny he was.
Your reactions make the whole thing even funnier than watching the original. To watch you crack up brightens my day.
Ade Edmondson was on Alan Davies untitled recently. He told the tale of how Joni Mitchell saw him in a studio once, and gave him a huge kiss on the lips. Turned out Vivien was her favourite character in the Young ones. Ade was melting as he told the story.
Your giggles ave made my day so much brighter.... Love it man and the content. So glad you are enjoying British comedy in all of it's various forms. Keep up the good work and we will keep on watching.
The Bottom Live shows are fantastic, I was lucky to go see them live and they are hilarious...a must see when you get time
Great to see more Bottom reactions on your channel. Hope you get around to reacting to more episodes of the show soon. Same with The Inbetweeners. Then again, I suppose you may need a bit more time to recover from laughing so hard lol.
Rik talking about his role in the Harry Potter movie is a gem that's worth a look.
Wait what???? He was in Harry Potter??
@@animatechap5176 he played peeves but the scenes got cut.
@@UKHazzie Yes because he upstaged everybody else !
I love these 2 together..... R.I.P Rik, gone way too soon 😪
Can't wait to see you react to all the live show fully, there pretty much all up on here.
Oh dude! I’m so pleased you enjoy this. Rik is so missed. He was taken far too early. Comic genius.
I've watched this a million times and it never gets boring. Comedy genius! All the best from the uk dude.
"Gas" my favourite episode amongst many others.
All of the live shows are amazing worthy of a binge repeatedly
You have got to check out all 5 live shows of Bottom. They’re brilliant.
You need two CD Box Sets: 'Bottom - the TV Series' and 'Bottom - the Live Shows' (which includes their feature film, "Guest House Paradiso").
Your laughter is really contagious, man. Thanks for keeping the funny going.
" I don't come round to where you work and laugh at you" LMAO
All the full live shows should be on UA-cam, they are hilarious.
Last time I checked they were on UA-cam. Luckily I've got them all on DVD
The live shows are amazing. There are a few of them. Everytime I feel a bit down I watch one and am certainly cheered up 👍👍
I had the privilege watching these two live at the Hammersmith Apollo in 2003 for their final live tour, Brilliant, never laughed so much, they break character so much, and the crowd interaction is brilliant from them both.
I spent a lot of my years as a child laughing my ass off to these two, bottom live 2 is prob one of my favourite comedies to this day and I regularly go back and watch the series again. Rik was a comedic genius and a great part of comedic history died with that man RIP.
Also the part about Bristol, his accent was pretty much bang on we do sound like that and we loves our cider round yer lol
Ade trying to not to corpse was wonderful. Loving the Football memorabilia in the background 👍
Great video :) they’re hilarious but you laughing is also great to pick up the mood of the day!
RIP Rick. I had the pleasure of seeing him on stage several times as Rick, Richie and my favourite, as Alan B'Stard.
Where has this UA-cam channel been hiding
Best channel I've come across covering best stuff
The live shows did not have the restrictions that tv put on them and those 'bloopers' are actually in the shows.
Seen these bloopers so many times and laugh each time. Your giggle is just so wholesome and infectious 🥰
I was lucky enough to see them live in st albans many years ago they were brilliant
I love to see people's reactions to these to legends rich and Eddie. And laughing hysterically
Told you !! Never seen you laugh like that before, you really enjoyed it. The Live show Southampton is even better. Two very talented guys..
I found the train station
WELCOME THE BEST BEST OF BRITISH COMEDY ... i grew up with bottom and alittle part of me died when rik died :( he was defo one of a kind and will be forever missed
They don't even edit the live ones, all these bloopers are there intact in the shows, also as the great lord flash heart once said "Woof"
R.i.p Rick
you really should check out The young ones . also if you can, have a look into Comedy Connections it's a series of programmes that explains the connections between british comedy shows from the early 50's right through to modern day .
Great reaction EBR, the one from Southampton is equally as entertaining so looking forward to part 2 sometime.
pretend your watching ben elton.
what a line
Went to watch all of these, absolutely brilliant fun. 😂
Was lucky enough to see ALL the LIVE shows ..LIVE!......Sides ached all evening and even the next day!...So funny.. RIP Rik.
Your reactions and laughing make this video better than the original Bottom bloopers one, cheers bro 👍🙏
Rik was so good he could mess up his lines and still be hilarious.
You look like you had fun with this one! Check out the Phoenix Nights bloopers too, if you get chance. 👍
The amazing thing about watching these guys live was the fact that the bloopers were actually part of the script.
Wish I could go back and watch these for the first time again ,I remember laughing out loud much like you.
Brilliant I needed a laugh. Thank you 🤣👍
Aaahh my god the series and all live shows are amazing. My favourite comedy duo. Great chemistry and best friends
The thing with Rick he was a quick witted comedian legend right until his untimely demise, he’s sadly missed by a lot of fans including myself.
Miss that man so much. Absolutely cried my eyes out when he died.
These 2 together were always amazing
I went to see them on the last date of a tour and the crew had moved all the props around, it was hilarious
It is always the feeling that they are their for your and their fun. Just feeling included with them.
It was more funny than on TV, cause they got away with it. Definitely do the part two. These two chemistries work perfectly and whatever they're in will make you laugh.
Bottom Live 1, 2 & 3 are the absolute best. Plus they are all on UA-cam so they shouldn’t be a problem when it comes to reactions.
Great reaction thanks for the upload...def check out more of their live show bloopers and indeed the live shows...probably too long to react to but they are without doubt the funniest live comics of their generation...
RIP Rik Mayall. Man was a freakin' genius!
Sad day when we lost Rik.
I saw Bottom 2 live at the Bristol Hippodrome in the nineties, the f**k ups were the funniest moments!
Still the best night I ever spent in a theatre Rik is god x
You can’t find a better pair than ade edmondson and Rik mayall …. Bottom and the young ones were the best shows
only Rik and Eddie could put on a stage show, completely forget the script and still give the audience a great show
My favorite thing about the BOTTOM LIVE shows is that it's all fresh, original material. They don't just redo a bunch of TV episodes or deleted scenes like so many comedies when they go on stage.
These 2 can bottle and present British working class humour perfectly, those live shows are the funniest things on the planet
Brilliantly funny. You’d love Richie and Eddie get out of character
Another truly beautiful entertainer lost too soon. 🙏
Love your videos dude you really seem to have a British sense of humour which is rare for non brits keep up the good work.
The great thing about these bloopers is that they weren't cut from the released videos. You get the full live experience.
The show on the Island is Bottom 3 - Hooligans Island. Rik & Ad were friends since college and have made comedy gold such as Bottom, The Young Ones and The Dangerous Brothers.
Rik was in one of my favourite movies of all time, Drop Dead Fred.
Great reaction
went to the live show in Glasgow when I was in my teens and on break saw Rik at the bar, what an amazing show, was in hysterics.
A man who loves his comedy! Bottom was bloody good!
I was too to see them live but have watched these a good few times. Brilliant
Finally, I kept asking and you've delivered. Fun fact, this isnt bloopers it was all planned. You can also watch all the live shows on UA-cam.
