      I've been a Canadian fan for thirty years or so, and I still come back to it. I'll laugh at the same nonsense again and again, and some of the lines will strike me funnier on any given day. Bottom and Father Ted both made me scream with laughter at different times-- apparently hard to catch that lightning in a bottle permanently.

    Massive Rik Mayall fan.
    I can remember my mum and sister taking me to see bottom Live In Portsmouth Guildhall for their last 3 shows.
    (I was Born in 1990 so you can question their judgment of parenting all you like lol).
    Anyway….I was engrossed with their gags and I actually understood the stupidity and vulgarity of their jokes lol
    But I can vividly remember Rik Mayall making his entrance on stage and all he had to do was just stand their looking at you in the crowd and you would piss yourself laughing!
    The audience would howl with laughter from Rik literally doing nothing.
    He was a force of Comedy Nature!

      I once showed the episode with the burglars to my then girlfriend. She had never seen it before that point, this is going back about 20 years now! We were having a sort of comedy night, and one of my friends, an older chap who had done some work for me was visiting and he had brought his two young lads who were about 15 at the time. We had watched all the usual safe sit coms and stand up things and I suggested Bottom, as both the lads had never seen it, not even been born when it was first on Tv. About ten minutes in, everyone was in utter hysterics, falling out of chairs and gasping for breath...I was waiting for the killer scene though as I knew it would slay them all...
      "Eddie!!!! Where in Hades is the burglar???!"
      Eddie points straight up, as the camera cuts back so we all see the poor thief has been sellotaped like a mummy to the ceiling!!!
      My neighbours must have thought we were on laughing gas in some sort of mad frenzy as the two teenagers howled with laughter till they had tears and my girlfriend was on the floor in stitches and poor old Dave could not breathe for laughing either....it was one of those moments that crossed the generation gap between me, and older man, and two long lads, who had all grown up in different eras and yet still found Richie and Eddie hysterical....We ended up stuck there till late watching a couple more and I had to make them the whole set of seasons to watch on disk themselves...it led to the young lads searching out the whole history of shows Rik and Ade were in and they became huge fans just like I was back in the 80s when they first started to get noticed in the Young Ones and the Dangerous Brothers.....it was a special time in my life I will never forget.....

      Yes its just not as funny. Why? Probably because we have seen it all before and its actually becoming a bit predictable and tired by this point. Add in all the other people in the episode taking the focus off them, and the fact that they are getting older and its all been done and the fact that its not really Bottom and it all falls a bit flat. Its still great to see them again, but it was obvious by this point they were running on empty. They are the same characters as Bottom, but not called the same things. I like to think that after they got shot by the police in the last Bottom episode, they survived and went into some sort of witness protection. And this is where they end up running a "crap hotel."
      I like it though, for the reason that its them, being silly still, and that it has a happy ending with them getting everything they ever wanted as those characters. Money, booze, a nice place to live in a got country out of all the misery and Rik / Richie gets to have sex and a girlfriend at last...even if he has to share her with Eddie....
