Rick Mayall is still badly missed. It was such a shock when he died. He and AdeEdmonton were just so so funny together.
You absolutely need to react to the full episodes of Bottom. It’s absolutely hilarious, Rik and Ade are two of the funniest guys ever. It’s violent, crude, silly and downright hilarious.
It’s like Father Ted on steroids.
That would have been an interesting crossover, Richie, Father Jack and Eddie.
@@stickytapenrust6869 I would have said it's like Steptoe and Son..... on acid.
100%
@@brianm2881 only fools and horses on crack
Bottom 's Out (the camping episode) is a great episode to react to, or Finger where they go to the hotel where Eddie (Ade) is... 😂
Bottom never gets old, these 2 guys were just amazing together, R.I.P Rik Mayall.
I love the Christmas episode "Holy" Absolutely brilliant!
And I’m a virgin!
Bottom had 3 series , 5 live stage shows & Guest House Paradiso (movie)
All awesome👍
I remember watching Bottom in the 90s when I was a young teenager. My grandparents were round visiting and my Mum was talking to my Gran as they were about to leave. So my Grandad stood there and watched Bottom for a few minutes with me. This was totally unlike anything that he would have watched at home with my Gran. I'll always remember the look on his face and the sound of him laughing as Rik and Ade went at each other. This brought me so much joy and I still think it's probably the funniest comedy show ever created. RIP Rik.
I remember my octogenarian grandmother cracking up laughing at the accident episode.
To be fair if they grew up watching slapstick humour from the likes of Laurel & Hardy then you can see it’s pretty similar in most aspects !
Bottom is one of the greatest shows ever:)
Rik Mayall was the only celebrity i ever shed tears over when they died. A true legend and genius.
Same
Rick Mayall's Facial expressions.. He's a comedy legend and sadly missed.
Bottom is one of my most favourite comedies ever. In this chess game scene, they were missing a lot of pieces so obviously, the dynamo duo improvised and used other things for the missing pieces. This fight is one of my favourite fights that they have in the show.
When they go camping in "Bottom" is my favorite =)
Where Rik sucked the dart in.
@@stephenhumphrey7935 I know.
WOMBLES!!!!!
I saw Ade Edmondson playing Scrooge in The Royal Shakespeare Company Theatre last Friday (not-so-humble brag there from me 🤣🤣) and he was AMAZING, he could command the attention of the whole audience in a scene with loads of other actors by just pulling a facial expression - legend
I was there on the Saturday. He was brilliant. Never seen Scrooge played like that before.
Did he beat up the ghost of Christmas future with a frying pan?
He was great in first series of man down before he past away
@@RtardD2 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👏
The violence is pure slapstick, it's great.
🤔
I always thought of Bottom as a real life cartoon.
"There's only one thing better than having a great play, and that's having two great plays."
-"That doesn't make any sense, Oscar."
"I know, none of my stuff does, you know. Nice bit of Biro by the way. Ta very much."

Exactly, why don't the morons at YT understand what slapstick is? They are braindead and have no understanding of context in relation to violence. It's clearly slapstick and comical in Bottom, not threatening or nasty like in some films or TV shows.
They just copied laurel & hardy tbf !
Growing up as a teenager in the UK I used to love Thursday evenings when this would air on regular TV in late 90’s…absolute love Bottom and grew up on it. So glad you enjoy it even if you can’t fully show on your channel at least watch in private keep up the good work
Was it not on a Sunday night on BBC 2.
UA-cam needs to grow up. This was one of my favorite programs when I was about 9. You need to watch from the beginning to get the content. The dialogue is funny too.
Dude as one of the first to comment, PLEASE watch this fantastic and hilarious series! 😁👍🏻
There are fights and fart gags and you'll love this! 🤣
Full Eppisode of 'Gas'! It was shown in the early 90's on BBC, surely youtube can't be that harsh? lol
I watched this show on tape, from being about 5 years old, id watch the tape every night, and it would be Bottom and Red Dwarf, id go sleep to it up until it was taken off Netflix a few years ago
I have them on DVD but cba swapping discs haha
Theres only 3 seasons sadly, but they did live shows too, which are just as good, it was like a family member had died when Rik Mayall passed on
I love this show, especially the Christmas special. Enjoyed your reactions to this clip.
Gold, Frankenstein and Grrr?

"You wait until my husband God gets here, then you'll be in trouble" - Richard Mary
bottom is quite simply a master class of comedy.
I saw them live around 20 years ago, they were really
whacky live. Brilliant show. My favourite.
Bro, this show is one of the hardest (alongside Allo Allo) to get anything on UA-cam for reaction purposes. Massively funny show.
The Live Shows are epic where they interact with audience. Many have reacted to it. The Young Ones were the predecessor to Bottom with lighter brurality. Rick Mayall also appear several times as a guest actor as Lord Flashheart in Blackadder.
I find the Young Ones harder to watch now, it hasnt aged the best, but Bottom is still hilarious.
@@StateOfMind63 I agree.
Hey king boomer did you realize the dad in man down is ritchie from bottom....:)
Bottom was shown first time from 1991 to 1995 as 3 x 6 episode series. Plus they did 4 live stage shows based around the tv show and a movie where they are hotel owners called Guesthouse Paradiso
5 stage shows
the UK's equivalent of Tom & Jerry. Brilliant
USA would never allow a comedy show like that. Too violent. Even though the 'violence' is fake. And that's in a country with roughly one mass shooting per month.
Legends!! I grew up watching these two. Hilarious! More episodes please
I got the box set for my dad for Christmas as he hasn’t watched it for years. Can’t wait to rewatch with him!
Sorry if someone has already explained this. The reason for all those odd chess pieces is because they only have five left. And the reason why is Eddie has been stealing and selling the others because apparently each piece is carved from ivory and worth £65-£85.
£75
yeah whooo bottom, you did a bottom reaction. Ive been asking for one of them for ages, well done.
the thing about the game of chess and why Richie had various random pieces to play with at the start of the game is because unbeknown to him Eddie had found his antique chess set that he'd hidden inside the wall and sold them to buy drink.
There are a few clips you could try that dont have the Eddie & Richie violence in but are still proper funny. The clip when Eddie pretends to be Death (not deaf) is a good one. The Bottom Live stage shows are on youtube, so they should be acceptable content for you to react to. Anyway it was good to see a Bottom reaction on your channel, thank you
Oh yes please!! Do all 3 seasons, absolutely amazing!
I have watch Bottom a million times and never get bored of it. Classic British slap-stick comedy.
Thanks King Boomer great stuff..
In the UK, this episode was simply titled "culture"
They are using food & other items as chess pieces because Eddie sold off most of the antique Ivory chess set for drinking money.
Bottom is one of the greatest UK comedies of all time! I love "Gas", "Burglar" and "Holy" episodes. If you ever get a chance, check out their film " Guest House Paradiso".
The banging his head in the fridge reminds me of Drop Dead Fred - which starred Rik Mayall of course
The Gas Man episode made me cry laughing
You should probably check out Rik Mayall(RIP) and Ade Edmondson in their early days. They were in a double act together called The Dangerous Brothers and they were in the The Young Ones, one of my favourite comedy shows from the 1980s, about a group of students sharing a house. They were also regulars in the 'Comic Strip presents...' series.
You may also recognise Rik Mayall as Lord Flash-Heart from Blackadder.
You can react to full episodes of this no problem. Tons of UA-camrs have. It's not gory it's just proper old school British slapstick comedy. Bottom, The Young Ones and Filthy Rich and Catflaps are amongst the best British comedies eve created.
…..your joking aren’t you ? Can you just imagine the woke meltdown today from millennials watching the episode of the young ones where the policeman ( wearing sunglasses) grabs the guy ringing the doorbell telling him “ that’s white mans electricity your using “ ……..and then when the policeman takes off his sunglasses he apologises telling the guy “ I’m sorry , I thought you was a nigger “ !!!! ……….and also in the episode where Rik goes to phone Margaret Thatcher to tell her that he’s got an atom bomb and upon arriving at the phone box it’s covered in graffiti with the words “ wogs go home “ ! …………..the snowflakes of today wouldn’t be able to handle it at all !
Rik Mayall was something else, so much energy. Maybe not the best of our comedy writers but definitely up there with actors. I reckon Boomer would love Bottom, it is stupid, slapstick comedy at its finest and the live shows were especially hilarious and absolutely filthy 😆
I'm glad when you had taken some time to watch 'Bottom' you enjoyed it. 😁
They did this show after 'The Young ones'.
Lmao...you finally discovered Bottom 😃, saw the live show a few times , they were excellent...Rick greatly missed RIP
They were also in a hilarious show called The Young Ones, about a bunch of students, which I loved.
This is a follow on from that. They have both grown up
@@billmayor8567 They are different characters
So glad you liked Bottom, it's a series full of violence and comedy, please do the full series
finally the best British comedy and my comedy hero growing up rip rik mayal
Slapstick, silly, ridiculous, weird, and even sexism. But it was funny. It was one of the best comedies in the 90s. Rik and Ade were/are comedy geniuses. This was the comedy and many others I grew up on when I was a kid.
These two were great together. Ya gotta react to full eps.
My new fave channel…. Ive bit laughed so much in ages… thank you man
Got to see them live twice.. rik sadly missed 😢
Bottom is definitely one of my favourite comedy series. Had me in pieces.
Oh yes these dudes are wacky,love em...
rip dear rik
💙💎🕊️
Gas is one of the funniest episodes of any sitcom ever. If you only watch one episode of Bottom, watch that one.
How can UA-cam be so blinkered about comedic slapstick 'violence'? You can get it in Laurel & Hardy films, Tom & Jerry cartoons, etc.
Best is the live shows in which they did the same crazy fights... Which only occasionally went wrong
Hello King.
Just a thought about getting some 'Bottom' reactions for us fans;
Your friend and ours Eclectic Beard posted a few a while back. Maybe ask him what problems, if any, he encountered. His reaction, in case you were wondering was "That was hilarious, I don't care who you are!"
Absolutely love Bottom all time favourite comedy, fairground episode had me in stitches 😂😅
Loved this show. RIP Rik Mayall !
Another programme staring the same actors I would like to recommend is called The Young Ones. It's a 1980s comedy. I think you can watch some full episodes on UA-cam.
They also did a completely ridiculous movie called Guest House Paradiso (1999).
'Just the 2 main characters beating each other up'..that's the entire plot of every episode
With all that violence on bottom I don't suppose you could do Tom and Jerry 🤣🤣🤣😂
One of the greatest comedy shows of all time... we saw one of the live Bottom shows (have to be carefuly typing that... ) and it was so funny.... very underestimated.... I struggle to explain to my skeptical family members why I think it is genius, but I think it is
Bottom is epic rip Rik always loved never forgotten
About time boomer bottom is awesome and violent 3 series and 6 live shows had the privilege to see these live in Manchester apolo bloody brilliant mate Mrs Boomer will like this as well great reaction pal
Best show ever made 😂
Pity the clip didn't have part where Richie questions about the rules of the chess pieces.(They let children play this game!) but great reaction :)
One of my favourite comedies of all time. My best friend looks like Eddie! There isn't a bad episode but the second episode of series 1 'Gas' is widely considered the best. Saw them live on the second tour and were amazing - still have my ticket. Was at work the day Rik died, a teenager had a text and didn't know who he was - I refused to believe it until I saw news for myself. RIP Rik Mayall.
Did you know that both Ryk and Mr Rottweiler had a cameo appearance in "an American werewolf in london". They play the 2 locals, playing chess in the village pub, I didn't recognise Ryk until he smiled at Brian Glovers joke.
@@haroldhadradi8763 I 've not seen the film so didn't know that. Thanks.
Try Flash Heart in Black Adder. Rik Mayall is a lost legend
RIp Rik. True genius
this ep is called culture
This show is bonkers. They did a film for the characters too.
Guest House Paradiso
@@BadBoyV1
That's the one. I could only remember the paradiso bit in the title. I quiet liked the story for it, it has also been some 15 years since i last saw it though.
@@BadBoyV1 it’s a classic & seems to have a lot of the “Shaun of the dead” actors too, I wonder if the casting for it was based somewhat on their performances on Guest House Paradiso!?? 🤔😅
@@MikeyNottz It would be cool to think it was that movie that group them together to potentially give the foundation for Sean of the dead's casting line up lol
There's plenty of UA-camr's reacting to Bottom.. The Eclectic Beard done a few including Bottom Ultraviolence..
One of the best shows... You have to persevere mate
Amazing Comedy, hope you do the series.
Saucepan sound gets me every time :)
I think you'll struggle to find YT friendly clips, but i'm glad you appreciate it. It's a unique show, yes 90s.
The beating up of the gasman!!!!
The young ones , is a must
If you liked this one, you'll love the Gas Man scene. Unfortunately, I can't find the full scene from start to finish here. Someone needs to send the whole thing.
I tried finding that too to recommend it, pity the full thing isn't on UA-cam.
Loved this show.. Two legends just having fun. Agree with other comments about them live.. Superb. You should check out freddie starr Vincent routine 👍
This was a great series..Rik and Ade also starred in the comedy classic 'The Young Ones'..👌
Omg. Yes! You need to do full episode reactions. Rik mayall is a legend. RIP rik
It’s basically grown up Tom and Jerry brought to life. Amazing series
There needs to be a bit of context here, especially when it comes to the chess pieces. Eddy has been selling them off, surreptitiously, one by one for quite a while, with there only being a couple of pieces left. So, when the idea of having a game of chess came up, they had to substitute most of the pieces with other small items. The pawns, for examples, are frozen prawns. The Queen is a small potted cactus with a paper crown on it; one of the bishops is a Spiderman, the other a sausage. One of the knights is a plastic skeleton, and so on.. It just adds to the total ridiculousness of the situation.
You have to watch the gas man episode 🤣🤣
I absolutely loved Bottom, The Young Ones, and The Comic Strip Presents. All worth a watch. Rik Mayall was hilarious, and is truly missed. Adrian Edmonson still .acts, but has also done great cooking shows, which showed him travelling. all over the Uk
They started with a stage show: The Dangerous Brothers. They also made a movie - the opening minutes of Guest House Paradiso is pretty hard to beat.
This is the second american reaction to bottom ive seen and on both times they didn't quite get the comedy innthe dialogue but as soon as they start smashing each other's brains in they literally wet themselves laughing 😂
This show is the best, you must find a way round it! That scene is even better when you get the full context of it from the build up. It's got lots of In-Betweeners nods but add more violence, more slapstick and replace 4 loser teenagers with 2 loser adults and you've got the greatest sitcom ever made in my opinion! Glad you loved it!
Having watched this episode of bottom, when boomer said at the start "I like chess so this should be interesting" ..... I thought to myself "hmmm that's one way to phrase it" 😁
They went on tour with this show. Really wished I had seen it at time, this was a huge show.
Here's an even shorter clip of them and there's no violence between the two of them. If you're wondering where they are they're in their local pub and trying to obtain 'something for the weekend' - that's the term that a lot of barbers here in the U.K. used when it came to selling their customers condoms.

YEEEES !!! AT LAST !!! Nice one 👊🏼🎅🏽👌🏻
Come on man, get reacting to these episodes already! I've seen quite a few other reactors watch every episode without losing their uploads! You won't regret it. :D
Love this series. Went to see the final two live shows when they toured, amazing. Great opening episode also to this series if you ever start it
To everyone in the United States who love the bottom series. Your welcome.
I love your channel king boomer great stuff
It should be fine to react to this show. Numerous other youtubers have done it with no problems. There's a lot worse here on youtube than anything in Bottom. On the other hand maybe youtube's restrictions have got more strict recently? The problem with social media authority nowadays is it's becoming more and more controlled and policed by badly programmed automated technology rather than sensible humans with a basic understanding of context.
