Bottom Ratings & Reviews
- Aaron Slade29 mars 2025I remember coming across this randomly one night on Australia's ABC station. What the hell is this??? I thought after a couple of seconds. Then I was hooked - the chaos of it all. It was extremely violent and over the top, which was a big bonus for me but the comedy itself is what brings you back over and over. Truly one of the best, but short-lived, TV comedies to exist. Cannot recommend this highly enough!
- Richard26 oktober 2025Saw it on TV, bought it on DVD and even went to see the last live show and it was gloriously filthy, violent, and brilliant. Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson’s Richie and Eddie are two of the most dysfunctional flatmates ever committed to screen. Living in a grimy Hammersmith bedsit, they spend their days scheming, failing and beating each other senseless with frying pans, cricket bats and anything not nailed down. It’s slapstick, it’s savage and it’s somehow still tender, in a deeply twisted way. The writing is pure anarchic genius: fart jokes, sexual frustration and surreal one liners delivered with manic energy and perfect timing. Watching it on TV in the ’90s felt like discovering a secret language of chaos. Owning it on DVD meant you could rewind the best bits, the headbutts, the insults, the moments where Rik and Ade cracked each other up mid scene. And seeing Bottom Live Tour in person? That was the cherry on top. The final stage show was a riot, raw, unfiltered and packed with ad libbing, audience winks and the kind of energy that only Rik and Ade could summon. It felt like saying goodbye to a pair of old, deranged friends, with one last slap to the face.
- ርልዪረ31 januari 2025Great anarchic comedy from the genius minds of Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson who are back from starring in the Young Ones team up to create a show that is not PC and would never get made today. The flat the two characters share is filthy but has a certain charm when Rik and Ade start cartoon slapstick style aka Tom trying to get Jerry the mouse cartoon hi jinks style at each other. This only appeals to a certain generation who grew up with freedom to choose a show able to express feelings without getting cancelled because todays generation are too soft!
