So what is EddieandRichie?

EddieandRichie is a subreddit dedicated to the genius that is Adrian Edmondson and Rik Mayall, writers and performers of some of the finest, puerile, slapstick British comedy ever! Their most well known show, Bottom, was a British sitcom television series that originally aired on BBC2 between 1991 and 1995. It also spawned 5 live shows that toured the country to sell-out audiences

It was written by and starred comic duo Ade Edmondson and Rik Mayall as Eddie and Richie, two flatmates who live on the dole in Hammersmith, London. The programme ran for three series, and was followed by five stage-show tours across the United Kingdom between 1993 and 2003 and a feature film, Guest House Paradiso. The show is noted for its chaotic, nihilistic humour and violent comedy slapstick.

Anything Bottom related is welcome at /r/eddieandrichie, from screenshots, quotes, videos and photos of related things. Anything Rick and Ade related, like Young Ones, Guest House Paradiso, Dangerous Brothers etc is also welcome. Fill the place out with your favourite quotes and then follow it all on in the comments sections!

Where to start?

Hey, so I was born in 89 and a staple of my childhood was Drop Dead Fred. I’ve seen bits and pieces of Riks work outside of that movie but nothing substantial. What do you recommend I start watching and any tips on where to watch? Thanks sorry if this has been asked before.

Hey all. Myself and my Aunt are huge fans of Bottom, we almost reference it daily in some way or another. Anyway, I made her this for Christmas as a poster. Let me know what you all think. Thank :)

Does anyone know the whereabouts of a certain meme?

Hi there. Big fan of the show. I remember coming across a meme of some sorts regarding the show.

It was Steamed hams from The Simpsons however it was dubbed by a guy doing impressions of Richie and Eddie as stand-ins for Skinner and Chalmers. It was surprisingly high-quality and the impressions were spot-on.

However, I can't seem to find it anywhere no matter what I search for. If anyone can help me find it, please do. I'd be grateful for it. I'm scared in case it's lost media.

What do you think is the most serious, emotional moment in the show? Or the closest to being dramatic?

I was thinking, most of the show is either slapstick, wordplay, gross out, and just general hilarity; but what moment comes the closest to being serious or deliberately non-humorous? I think maybe in the episode Hole, they do a good job of making it seem like they’re literally clinging on for life but still manage to keep things non serious and funny. Even with Richie sticking his head in the oven is somehow still just hilarious

Do you think like I do that the show was utterly perfect by series 3?

I've always thought this. Series 1 had Gas and Apocalypse. Series 2 had Culture and Holy. Classic, classic Bottom episodes. However for me, series 3 was the holy grail.

Hole is just gag after gag after gag after gag and it steamrollers you so hard with relentless brilliance that you wonder what the fuck you just watched.

Terror has the iconic costumes.

Break... (okay fair enough if this is somehow deemed the weakest of the 6 but it still contains an incredible amount of very funny physical humour!)

Dough is genius. And the line about Sylvester Stallone fisting Mr. McHenry from the Magic Roundabout would never have been passed for series 1. I still laugh when I hear Dick Head saying that, even when I'm just hearing it in my mind lol...

Finger - again, genius. The cricket convo, the Welsh gag, the car journey, Eddie(weena) and the Marveloso Splendido Hotelo. I watched this just the other day and I had tears of laughter rolling down my face.

Carnival - amazing ending. The prime minister bit alone is legendary. Also, KillROY!!!

Comedy is of course subjective, so I don't expect everyone to agree. But I still believe that series 3 was the closest Rik and Ade came to nailing a 10/10 on every single episode. 🤘🏻

Rank the 6 episodes of series 1 from favourite to least favourite... Here's mine: 1) Gas 2) S'up 3) Apocalypse 4) Smells 5) Accident 6) Contest. I've done the other 2 series too but this was definitely the hardest of the 3. Oooo err!

Surprising Thanks for Richie and Eddie for making me PUA-proof

By PUA I mean pick-up artist. I have on rare occasions seen them in the wild but whenever I see a skeezy guy try it on with me I think of all the times Richie and Eddie have tried it on too. My only regret is I have never got one to say 'what a smashing blouse you have'.

Anyone else?

Rik in Man Down.

Rik in Man Down was just a piece of genius casting. Totally believable as the father of Dan, and there were so many moments that highlighted the breadth of Rik's acting abilities. I'll never forget howling at the story he told Dan of his ex girlfriend who he adored so much. 😂

A Tribute to Rik Mayall.

Never a truer word spoken, everybody loved him and he loved everyone. Sorely missed.
