Bottom (The opening credits in particular)

[Dan Vito Corleone]

Bottom is on Netflix, all 3 series.

 

This show shapes so much of my personality. A couple of you on here do follow my Twitter account (Bottom_Quotes) but if you don't give it a follow, I usually do something every day or every other day.

Haha I do. Didn't even know it was you.

 

Its really good, regular retweets from me.

I had no idea that was you Dan.

I was talking on Twitter recently to Ivana Milicevic (Carrie in Banshee), just greasing her up telling her how Banshee was my 2nd favourite telly show of all time.

 

"Let me guess, Game of Thrones is your favourite? "

 

"No love, my favourite is Bottom"

 

Not sure she's seen it but she liked my tweet anyway.

 

...which was nice.

I made a song and dance of it being me when I first started it but 5 years and nearly 4.5k followers in I let the account do the talking. You are the two specific people I was thinking of apart from Chris who has followed since the first few days,

Rik Mayall was a genius, the only person on tv who can make me cry with laughter without saying a word.

 

Just wanted to give a mention to him reading George's Marvellous Medicine on Jackanory, which should be compulsory viewing for all kids.

Followed you funny funny bastard 

[Josef Svejk]

Loved it in my teens. The attempt to pick up the two ladies in the pub cracked me up at the time.

 

And I love physical comedy / violent slapstick in general.

 

Need to rewatch...

[Total Longo]

I played my two lads (13 and 11) The Young Ones and Bottom on DVD and they loved both of them, absolutely roared laughing at the Xmas episode in particular where Richie cuts his finger off. 

 

The fact that they loved them both is proof that good, stupid comedy never ages. 

[Carvalho Diablo]

...which was nice.

 

 

And may I say what a smashing blouse you have on.

I watched that new Star Wars film yesterday, the only thing I liked about it was Eddie Hitler's surprise cameo!

 

Lucas missed a trick by not giving him a bigger part, twatting Skywalker with a frying pan.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

I'm still gutted that Rik died so young, probably my all time hero and i loved almost everything he did (apart from The New Statesman, which i just couldn't get into). The Dangerous Brothers were hugely underrated and all of the best Comic Strip (and Blackadder) episodes were the ones with Rik in. 

 

I'm in my mid forties now and up to Rik dying i'd say that not much really affected me, in terms of "celebrity deaths". Him, George Michael and Prince all going in two years of each other all affected me as it felt like it really was major, major parts of my youth dying.   

 

Yep, I've never really been bothered about celebrities dying, but Mayall going genuinely affected me. It just seemed like the world was a bit shitter without him in it, even little interviews with him were funny, and he could've gone on to do a lot more. His appearances in Man Down, for example, were the reason I started watching it in the first place.

 

Him and Reeves and Mortimer accounted for the overwhelming bulk of the comedy I loved during my teenage years, and that's shaped the things I laugh at even now. If Vic & Bob were to go I reckon I'd be distraught for a week.

Agreed, and Bob wasn't that far off it last year either. 

 

I still have that BBC tribute  to Rik Mayall on my Sky + and it's brilliant in the sense that it ends with all the tributes and the bit where he is getting his PhD (or whatever it is)  and relaying his life philosophies, and it's all incredibly moving. Then it jumps to that clip of him singing "i'm evil" in that Rik voice and you are crying laughing again (especially where he drops the mic and shouts "bloody hell!" before pegging it off stage). Ace.

With you 100% mate. I feel like I miss his presence in the world, if that makes sense. People said things started going to shit when Bowie died. Nah, it was Rik. 

 

That first season of Man Down with him was incredible.

Dan's account is ace. Sometimes I'll just post a random unrelated tweet to my own account and get a Bottom gag in reply from @Bottom_Quotes. Always makes my day. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Really was an ace comedy. My favourite one if pushed was the one where Richie and Eddie go trick or treating. 

[Dan Vito Corleone]

Add me to the list as well, I'm not an especially emotional man but I was in Liverpool city centre having met a friend and I got a text telling me he'd gone and I had to sit down on a bench, I was stunned and gutted. It took me 2 hours to be able to stand up and get the train. I have a genuine issue with life for taking someone like that away from us all at such a young age, it was a genuine kick in the bollocks.

The line that gets me every single time, no matter how many times I see it, is when the little kid goes "Trick or Treat you bald-headed bastard." 

[Dan Vito Corleone]

That is THE most violent hallucination!

Simple, yet comedy Gold mate. I think we all miss Rik Mayall, gave me so many happy times whilst watching his various characters on TV.

I recorded that too and refuse to delete it. Did the same with the Johnny Cash tribute that was on telly, probably the only other celeb I've been faintly bothered about carking it.

It was, i love the one where he drove Greg Davies to the house where he said he wooed his mother and stood outside getting wistful about how romantic it all was, before showing him (in typical OTT style) how he had smashed her up against the wall outside.
