BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Lizzy Hynes Bottom is in my top three TV programmes, alongside The Young Ones and Steptoe and Son. It is a unique mixture of violent slapstick, swearing and surreal plots, and I love it.First broadcast in 1991, Bottom is about Richard 'Richie' Richard and Edward 'Eddie' Elizabeth Hitler, two sad, disgusting perverts who share a flat in Hammersmith, and hate each other. Richie, played by Rik Mayall, is a sex obsessed virgin who is desperate to 'do it'. He spends most of his time masterb- I mean studying, trying to chat up women with his best and only chat up line - "What a smashing blouse you have on!" - and fighting with Eddie. He acts like Eddie's wife in most aspects; he wears an apron, does the housework and tells Eddie off - "You are grounded, young man! ".Eddie, played by Adrian Edmondson, is an alcoholic who is almost drunk. He is not quite as pitiful as Richie: he has a few friends - Spudgun and Dave Hedgehog - , is usually cheerful and, whilst still unlucky with the opposite sex, is known to have done it at least twice. My favourite episodes are Gas -"HELLO, MR GAS MAN!" - Accident, S'Out -"Maybe it's a Womble!"- and Finger - "Edwina."

WakenPayne This TV Show Is Great. It Had A Few Spin-Offs Where They Went Live & They Are Actually Better Than The Original. These 2 (Cough) 'Friends' Constantly Try To Get Laid Especially Richard Who Is A Virgin. This Is Definitely Not For The Elderly & If You Want A TV Show Thats Comedy But Not To Offensive...Well You'll Get The First Half Of That "A TV Show Thats Comedy" If You Want Something Unoffensive What Part Of The Plot "These 2 (Cough) 'Friends' Constantly Try To Get Laid Especially Richard Who Is A Virgin." When Did You Think That Was Unoffensive. The Whole TV Series Is Extremely Funny & The Two (Cough) 'Friends' Can Be Unnaturally Stupid. This Is An Excellent 90's Comedy.

darksorcerer What else more could you want? Ric and Ade from the young ones together again as the lovable characters Richard Richard and Eddie Hitler.Bottom takes some of the slapstick violent humor from the young ones and the Dangerous brothers and integrates it with some mental instability,poor hygiene habits,alcohol and more violence and fighting.Both character are lovable in there own way and there is always a laugh around the corner, some episodes feature former young one Christopher Ryan (mike the cool person) as Dave hedgehog and the famous 'spudd gun'I have all the DVD collection of bottom. I cannot say anything else but buy or rent them Thats if you one for funny crazy British humor

mad_hess Bottom is one of those shows that polarise people's opinions and this is largely due to Rik Mayall always playing the same type of character.Ade Edmonson carries the show as Eddie Elizabeth Hitler and makes an otherwise boring comedy into something that I enjoy watching.The theatre tour videos make the TV show look tame and are even better than the show IMO.The TV show was made into a rather poor film called Guest House Paradiso which is like faulty towers meets Bottom.10 / 10 - The TV show never fails to make me laugh - If you like this try Filthy, Rich & Catflap or Young Ones.
