Bottom

A-ha! Unlimited sex, gallons of booze and bucketfulls of cash seem just around the corner. So how come Richard Richard (Rik Mayall) and Eddie Hitler (Adrian Edmondson) always take the wrong turning and land up with mindless violence, creased porno mags and nauseous trouser smells? Is life a Bastard or are they just a pair of sad, hopeless losers without a morsel of brain between them?

Series 1:

 

Smells: Life is so boring when you can´t “do it!”. Even stuffing toilet paper down your trousers doesn´t pull in the birds when you´re a couple of sarcastic smelly gits. But sex spray does! Watch out girls, the love albatrosses are here.....

Gas: Someone in the street is complaining about the gas and they don´t mean Eddie´s revival of last night´s curry........

Contest: Prepare for another dollop of “lifestyles of the sad and desperate” as the two sad gits amuse themselves by watching green flies pop up on the organic beans under the grill......

Apocalypse: Richie´s cursed by Death in the form of foul-smelling Eddie and has to bargain for his life to save himself from asbestos underpants........

`s Up: Richard Richard´s gone and convinced himself he´s a descendant of the Red Indians with a clan name of “Dances in the Wind”. Eddie reckons it´s got something to do with the curry.......

Accident: What a great time everyone´s having playing Sardines at Richie´s birthday party - or rather, they would be if he had any friends.

Series 2:

 

Digger: Eddie and Richie enrol at Lily Linneker´s Love Bureau to meet the chick of their dreams. Is Richie to finally fulfill a lifelong ambition - to have sex........

Culture: When their TV is taken away (Richie spent the rent money at Dr O´Grady´s Personal Organ enhancement clinic), Richie and Eddie face a dilema: culture or insanity......

Burglary: Eddie´s pissed on Old Spice and bleach, Richie´s lost the money he gave Eddie and his halibut supper in the process. And to top it all, something´s stirring downstairs - and it´s not in Eddie´s underpants, either...

Parade: “This is our lucky day! Free money from the police, free drinks from the saucy-bit-of-alright-behind-the-bar-who-I´m -definitely-on-with-later, and now a free tip from tight-mouthed Larry.”

Holy: Christmas Day and Rchie has been marked out as the chosen one, entrusted with a miraculous “birth”. At least he now knows why God´s been keeping him pure......

`S Out: Eddie and Richie rough it in the wilds of Wimbledon Common. Unable to survive on a packet of hob-nobs, Eddie´s fishing with a string vest as a net, while Richie´s got his eye on Uncle Bulgaria for tea.....

Series 3:

 

Hole: Trapped at the top of a Ferris Wheel at the local funfair, Eddie and Richie remain blissfully unaware of it´s impending demolition the next morning......

Terror: Eddie and Richard have a novel idea of making money at Halloween. All it requires is fancy dress and a cattle prod to convince unwilling punters.....

Break: A swinging Holiday in Doncaster is complicated by a lack of condoms and Richie´s desire to lose 3 stone in just over 8 hours. Home liposuction with a vacuum cleaner clearly isn´t the answer.....

Dough: The local pub quiz offers a 5000 quid prize. Exactly the amount that Richie and Eddie need to prevent Master Counterfeiter Skullcrusher from making pulp of their heads......

Finger: A Honeymoon break at the Marvelloso Splendido Hotel in exotic Wolverhampton awaits the newly wed Mr and Mrs Cannonball Taffy O´ Jones, but Richie and his unladylike Bride, Eddiena, have the tickets.

Carnival: Time for the annual Hammersmith riot and who´s got the best seats in the house? Tip-top entertainment, fighting, burning, ram-raiding - and when the going gets tough, Eddie and Richie do some shopping.....

 

Bottom Live:

Eddie discovers that Richie´s got an inheritance coming his way, of which he´s determined to get his share. Dodgy Ken the lawyer sets up the papers and hey presto - father and son! At least it would have been, if Eddie hadn´t trusted Dodgy Ken......

 

Bottom Live - the Big Number 2 Tour:

The problem is sex! From the queen to a sheep, they desperately and catstrophically try to press the flesh at every available opportunity whilst farting, fighting and cursing their way through their disgusting and sleazy lives.

 

Bottom Live 3 - Hooligan´s Island:

Will they build a raft and escape? Grasp the Opportunity to embrace the earthly paradise around them? Or will they simply bicker and fart, fight, poke, puke and masturbate their way through 100 minutes of the most hilariously outrageous live situation comedy on offer in Britain today?

 

Bottom Live 2001 - an Arse Oddity:

Bottom Live 4 finds Rik and Adrian bravely and boldly poking their dirty bits into the start of a new millenium armed only with an endless stream of knobgags, gallons of banana and raisin ouzo and the funniest outrageous stage show ever invented!!

 

Bottom Live 2003 - Weapons Grade Y Fronts:

Richie and Eddie plan to save the World (and possibly destroy it in the process) from  conflict much bigger than the Gulf War: the fight between good and bad underpants! Eddy has invented a time-traveling toilet to help them on the way but he’s not feeling himself - if only he wouldn’t keep locking himself in it. He has all the weaponry but is too stupid to use it...

 

Bottom Fluff:

Meet Richard Richard and Eddie Hitler, two pimples on life´s bottom - whose ever desperate search for cash, women and the good life has established them as the most disgusting, repulsive, needlessly violent losers on Television.

So when, during recording, Rik and Ade mess up, miss cues, forget lines or reach for misplaced props, are they contrite, discrete and charming? ARE THEY F**K! Such antics are merely the spur to juvenile sniggers, competitive swearing, two fingered and other hand salutes too disgusting to make their way to the screen. Just for Ade´s excellent “Just Good Friends” imitation, this video is a must.
