@@MichaelKingsfordGray How do you mean, anonymous? It's Rik Mayall, and yes, that's the crazy beauty in his life: Beside being a wise man at times he never grew up & stayed gloriously silly & childlike anarchic all through his great life!❤❤❤❤
You can tell he's so bored at the start, the bottom lip goes and he begins to look around the room and BRILLIANT! there's a camera filming him and straight away he goes into comedic brilliance. He absolutely loved what he did and this clip proves why he was the best. RIP Rik Mayall
i mean, he does a knob gag, which anyone could do. it's the speed at which he goes for it, and his sheer infantile, immature, unapologetically schoolboy joy at doing it that betrays his professional commitment to his art.
We will never forget you Rik. Britain was such an amazing place to live and we had so many awesome people who we took for granted, all gone now. Not one person in the so called entertainment industry has a smidgen of personality or talent now.
The guy was just naturally funny (doesn't even enned audio) in a way that many others claim to be and wish they were but aren't. He's still possibly the best I've ever seen at turning out-takes into comedy :)
I love how the woman next to him asked what he was doing and when he explained that he was goofing around in front of a camera she started laughing. That just shows what kind of guy he was. It sickens me to know ill never meet him. RIP.
HE HAD A MISCHEVIOUS CHILD LIKE QUALITY...OF NEVER WANTING TO GROW UP......HE WAS LIKE A BIG KID.......I FOUND THAT SWEET..ALMOST......HE KNEW YOU WOULD SEE THIS......AND SMILE.......AT HIM AND WITH HIM......HE THOUGHT OF HIMSELF.....AS AN EARLY PUNK ROCKER...."ACTOR"... AND HE NEVER WANTED TO DISAPPOINT...ANYONE WATCHING HIM.....BEING A TEENAGE SHOWOFF.......AMAZING MULTY LAYERED PERFORMER......SO MUCH GOING ON THERE.....!!!!!!!!.....WE WILL NEVER SEE HIS LIKE AGAIN......REALLY.......and i am not overstating this.......
Stephen Fry once said that Peter Cook was the funniest man that ever drew breath. Cook was a genius, but Rik was just the best in my view. Bless him, the bastard.
Jafman Ok, English then if we’re going to be pedantic. I used the term ‘British’ to encapsulate the fact that Rik was from the UK, just like Sean Connery is British but is in fact, Scottish :)
I can’t remember the exact year, (it may have been 1989/1990 seems about right), when I saw him perform on his uk tour at Cheltenham town hall. Now what I’m about to say will likely sound totally unfunny and childish, but he spent the first few minutes “hiding” behind the stage curtain “frightened” to come out, making all kinds of farting noises with the “gag” being that he wasn’t aware the mic. was live yet. And this beings me to my point: In anyone else’s hands, it would’ve fallen flat and just been lax, but he actually elevated it to such a point that he had the audience eating out of his hand before we’d even seen him. It was hilarious. That was our Rik - able to make the most inane and/or mundane situation so funny it could hurt and you’d forget everything else but just being present. What a gift he was.
Just flipping through the selection of random UA-cam videos, and I’m finding it very common that there are videos of people I never heard of, and the title implies that everyone knows or at least should’ve heard of this person, Like this video
Can't put into words how much I loved rik mayall the sex god from Droitwich one of the funniest bloke's ever from the young ones Alan b stard through to bottom and appearances in blackadder rest in peace rik we will never forget you
This clip will NEVER get boring
2021 it's still not boring
Zzzzzz 😂😂
You will never grow up, anonymous coward.

Why do you call him a coward?? He did a lot of things, but not one of them could be named cowardish!😅
You can tell he's so bored at the start, the bottom lip goes and he begins to look around the room and BRILLIANT!

He doesn't even look like Rik at the start but the moment he spots the camera he transforms into his performing persona.
i mean, he does a knob gag, which anyone could do. it's the speed at which he goes for it, and his sheer infantile, immature, unapologetically schoolboy joy at doing it that betrays his professional commitment to his art.
Wild man 🤪 ❤
I love how his expression changes straight away.
"Ugh, I'm SOOO bor... Ooh, camera!"
I love how he just "activates" as soon as he spots it.
Instant Rik: Just add camera!
He’s young there, my fricking hero. Devastated when he died. RIP Rik.
It pisses me off that he died like that 😢😢
Same gents, true British hero. Anytime I see that smile mine is pinned to my face.
We will never forget you Rik.
Britain was such an amazing place to live and we had so many awesome people who we took for granted, all gone now. Not one person in the so called entertainment industry has a smidgen of personality or talent now.
I think one of the very few who can be considered a comedy genius. He left us far too early. R.I.P. Rik.
My idol , watched this clip over 1000 times and I still laugh every time, never be anyone else like him
Having a bit of a 'down day' so I came on here to watch this again. I miss Rik so much.
I specifically typed Rik mayall reels to cheer myself up just now ☺️

Amazingly talented gentleman was Rik who made a huge contribution to British comedy. 1 of the greats and my favorite. RIP Rik
One of the last true comics we've had. Funny to his bones. Rest easy , Rik. Thanks for all the laughter. Peace.
The funniest guy ever. Loved him. Made my teenage years so much fun with the Young Ones and the Saturday Live 😀😀😀
shut up yo baarrstard !! ...brilliant!!😂😂
Even though I never met Rik, I felt like I knew him. 🙏
God, I miss him. Rewatched the first series of Man Down recently. Surely one of the greatest casting decisions in history.
all you have to do is look at him and you start laughing, I love Rik
I love how the woman next to him asked what he was doing and when he explained that he was goofing around in front of a camera she started laughing. That just shows what kind of guy he was. It sickens me to know ill never meet him. RIP.
The Woman next to him is 🇬🇧 actress Shirley Ann Field . 🎭
@@misspurrr-fect3684 good to know. Thanks 🙂
God, I miss him
he's so unbelievably cute i think i would've exploded and died if i were behind the camera
Good lord he’s so great. Miss him a bunch♥️♥️
The energy and intelligence he gave in each split second. Not like other people, and seemingly on top.
He gets straight into character as soon as he notices the camera. Almost like a light switch has gone off in his head
Damn, I miss that beautiful loony.
So much.
Such Comedic Royalty... Miss this man and his genius so much!
Rik never needed a script to be funny Rik didn't need comedy, Comedy needed Rik
Lord Flash Heart at every moment possible. Damn I miss him.
Rik was so goddamned funny, all he needed was one person to watch him and he was brilliant.
What a treat this is the boost I needed

No, you are not. It's exactly like that. We will go on loving him!
I miss him so much. So funny. A total natural.
How gorgeous is he here xx
my all time celeb crush x
Rik we loved you!
Miss you rik you legend the world wont be the same without you x
I miss him so much, I would've given an arm and a leg to meet him and I grew up with his comedy, such a legend...RIP :(
your own limbs?
so funny and charismatic i love him
The guy is a legend! RIP Rik gone but never forgotten 🙏
How handsome is he 😍💞 RIP Rik 😥
How is he handsome? hes just a normal looking guy in England.
Just stunning!
@@Fummy007 jealously will get you no-where 🤣🙄
Drop Dead Fred introduced me to Rik. I tear up whenever I see the emotional ending now.
So incredibly missed!!! RIP Rik!

the b'stard
Rik mayall was the funniest man that ever lived. Period.
Rik’s an astounding comedian and comedic actor, but he’s still a mere mortal; Cook on the other hand…
He was hilarious and had such animated facial expressions. I wish he had been in more work.
Whenever I'm feeling down, I go to this clip. Thanks Rik x
Fantastic. Rik was hilarious. A British legend.
English.
Jafman Ok, English then if we’re going to be pedantic. I used the term ‘British’ to encapsulate the fact that Rik was from the UK, just like Sean Connery is British but is in fact, Scottish :)
@@Highlander1518 Nothing pedantic about it. Just seems to me that Rik's heritage is important. Being British now is not what it once was.
Jafman It is important. His legacy for being a legendary comedian is far more important, though.
@@Highlander1518 I agree.
My dude. I miss you. 🌻
He just couldn't help himself could he? Was there ever a more naturally funny human being?
Maybe Spike Milligan, but that's really pushing it.
This should have more views than it does.
Aww Rik Mayall, so funny and charismatic. I miss him. He would have been 66 today 🤗🕯️♥️
VERY FUNNY MAN.......EVERY TIME I JUST SEE HIM I SMILE......THATS EVERY TIME...
THAT IS A GOD GIVEN GIFT....................REMARKABLE.......
Feel the same, and many others do, he brings some certain magic into daily life and nobody can explain it completely!❤️
I miss him
Oh Rik, we miss you so much!
love you rik..

I love your story 🥰
The dearest & funniest man ❤️❤️❤️
God i miss this sad old git so much!
All I see is drop dead fred in real life. He was my childhood man.
Miss you Rik.
I miss him so much 🥺
This guy is brilliant
The master. He & Ade showed us the way.
"I don't want to go to pvison, I'm too pvetty, I'll get vaped!"
He was such an excellent character
Gawd the camera loves you Rik! 😍
Rik Mayall was the original Jim Carrey
O:16 "Ohh ohh he got a lovely big one....the mayor HUUUUUGE" i think that's what he he is saying 😂😂😂
I was watching Wolf, film with James Spader.. Jack Nicholson in it, James had the same mannerisms, eyes as Rik, they were so similar
This man ❤❤❤❤
Naughty Boy at the back of the school bus
A natural performer. Just add a camera and watch him go

Rik really had the magic. That twinkly charisma where everything and nothing was hysterically funny. Peter Cook was another.
He had the lot did Rick - great comic and great good looking bloke.
Guys a fucking legend
I love this man
legend💖 love you 💕💕💕💕💕😅💕😅
My favourite
Frikin loved him. Sad bloody loss.
What a legend
That man was just funny to his core. As soon as he realised he could he just wanted to make someone laugh.
I always wonder what the lady next to him said 😂
Just got his autobiography - Bigger than Hitler. Reading it now in 2020 is sad but still hilarious at the same time.
Rik loves the camera hehe
oh Rik x
If this disappears from the Internet, it is going to get biblical.
Fantastic
It’s a silent P Vivian! What a legend - he never grew up - and that’s what makes him so funny!
Rest in peace rik
That awkward moment you develop a crush on a dead person 😭
Legend!
Legend
He would have made the the BEST president. Miss you Rik!
I swear he say, " Well the camera's on" at the end to that confused lady.
i will happily be the 1000th like on this 👍
on the day of his passing, 9 years on this clip always always always makes me smile. Rest in peace sir 🙏 you are dearly missed
The man with the biggest majority in the House.
He was so handsome and sexy.
Pure charm
What genius he was
Hahahabahaha the end when the woman starts talking to him
He's a bastard but a wholesome one, thats rick in a nutshell
Such a naughty boy.
