Bottom Live 2003: Weapons Grade Y-Fronts Tour

I found out purely by coincidence on imdb that this was out, didn't know...ordered it from amazon.co.uk and had it three days later..

This is yet another masterpiece of a show...personally I think they started to focus a little TOO much on butt-jokes, but it's ok.. It's no news ofcourse, but it's gotten a little too anal focused now...but it's no problem, it's still one hell of a joyride, and I still give it 10/10 although I still prefer the older stuff a little bit more..

Rik and Ade is still empowered like hell, you can see they're not totally young anymore, but atleast they have not sold out like to many genious geezers before them once they start to fear not being able to each the cash they need...these guys are still going strong, and all I wish could for, was that they would take their live shows around the world, and not JUST in the UK....I would literally kill to see these guys live!

The two loser's on the stain on underwear of life Richie and Eddie return with their un-orthadox, crazy, and disgusting knob gags, in this sellout UK tour that left audiences laughing, me included, as I went to see it LIVE and got it on DVD.

After spending 15 days in the lavatory, Eddie has invented some of the most....useless contraptions in the history of man, based on ideas conceived by Richie's uncle. A giant toaster, painful tattoo remover, and weapons grade alcohol. But his most brilliant idea, and time machine made out of the toilet, which Eddie has dubbed....'The Turdis'. Together they travel through time and space trying to get to the bar before the audience does, but with bad consequences.

The story, though sounding extremely, EXTREMELY far-fetched, is another great comedy classic made by the slapstic kings Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson, and the fight scenes, though obviously fake, still pack in the laughs.

Another definate great from the duo, and I would love it if they returned in two years with another show, because an after 13 years, from their first episode in 1991, to their first Live show, their debut film, to the present, I feel they still have what it takes, to make great comedy.

I have watched every Bottom Live show and own copies of three of them. This is the least good of the lot. I say least good instead of worst because it is still extremely funny. I do think it could have done with a better ending though. Overall I think it was very funny and I can watch it over and over just as I have done with the others. It falls short of the others by only getting 7 out of 10 to the 9 and aboves but still a very worthy effort.

I had the pleasure of seeing this show in Manchester, it was on a Friday after Rik and Ade had done 4 consecutive nights all over the UK, and yet they still had the energy to make the show great for us!

The DVD is also brilliant, let's hope they do another show together... long live Rik and Ade :)

i saw this tour live in Birmingham and they were great. They interact with the crowd so well. I would say that this was there second best tour behind hooligans island. I don't think that they have lost any of there spark. I also have the video of this tour and it is laugh out loud funny. i definitely recommend that any bottom or young ones fan goes out to the shops straight away 2 buy this Ade+Rik are true comic geniuses of our time. this was there last live tour and what a way 2 finish. this was a top notch performance from start to finish i would definitely give i a 10 out of 10 not only for content but also for style and stage presence.the other reason this works so well is that u can truly believe that Ade edmondson is Eddie Hitler and that Rik mayall is Richard Richard Esq. I must issue a warning though,when i first saw this show i laughed so much that my face,ribs and stomach hurt for days. This show just like the other live shows,bottom series and the actors definitely get better with age and the more you watch the funnier it becomes.This is just what u expect from Rik+Ade but thats not to say it is boring,formulaic or predictable.
