Bottom Live 3: Hooligan's Island

I've been a fan of BOTTOM and YOUNG ONES for years, since I was 11 to be exact (Im 20 now!!) and I hadnt seen nothing until I saw the BOTTOM LIVE videos!!!!

For this one, we go far far away from the lovely flat in Hammersmith and to a desert island where Rik and Ade are making the most of being stranded!!! This one tops both the first and second one.

The seagull- "Watch it circle, watch it loop de loop, watch it get the prop man sacked!!" cracks me up EVERYTIME. The Disney impersonations, the "bird" the "Nuclear Bombe" (s**t its all in French!!)- these guys pull it off gracefully and get through the mistakes and rik's constant giggling!!!!

We get the audience shouting "Have a w**k!!) but unlike the first two videos, the reply is brought on more gracefully. Watch out for the story on how Rik and Ade came to be on the island, like their rubbish magic trick tales, Rik's ecstasy dance........ it all brings a smile to my face

And people wonder why I'm insane!

Go.....see....now!!!!

I have only high praises for this show. 110% pure entertainment with top of the line punch lines. I only regret not being there to see it live. If you love'em two goofballs, buy this show and watch it 253 times. If you hate'em, go down to your local Blockbuster outlet and rent it. When returning the show, pick up one copy on your way back!

This is pure brilliance yet again from the boys and its definately an improvement on number 2 (which was good but the weakest one of the 4). Rik and Ade still get the laughs they want and still use good solid jokes in the show. Weldone Rik and Ade. 12 out of 10

Rik Mayall Adrian Edmoundson The most funny men that ever lived. This is set on an island an original idea for bottom. Usally it is set in their flat. You will laugh your head off from start to finish. Just th relasionship between the two is as good as LAURAL AND HARDY AND MORCOME AND WISE. The only bad thing about this is that Rik Mayall is slightly over the top.

this is the third best bottom live. 1. Bottom live: 2001 an arse oddity (Which i have seen live) 2. Bottom live 2 the big number 2 tour 3. Bottom live 3 Hooligans island 4. Bottom live If you are feeling un happy put this on this is sure to cheer you up.

10 out of 10 and so goes for the rest of the live shows.

God bless you for reading

When I first saw this show years ago, I didn't really like it. I thought the toilet jokes, fart jokes, penis jokes and innuendos were tiresome. Also most of it was Rik and Ade ad-libbing and going off script. Also we have to look at Richie's poo covered back throughout the whole first act.

All that stuff was probably hysterical back in 97, today not so much.

But when years passed, I thought "Maybe I've been too hard on this show." So, I decided to give it another chance and bought it on DVD. I liked it a lot more this time.

I liked the scene where Richie eats the bad fish and vomits. And the vomit is just steam. The more faker it looks, the more funnier it is. And you can see the hose Rik is holding onto when he is going to vomit on the cannibals. (They later used the bad fish plot in Guest House Paradiso, which I disliked. Despite the movie having a few funny moments though.)

My favourite scene is when they're talking about how they got on the island in the first place. I thought Richie's Ecstasy dance was funny. Also, I liked how you picture the incident in your head when they're talking about it.

I loved the set. In the credits, it said Rik and Ade designed it. They probably designed it when they were writing the script to see what scenes they could create. Out of the sets in the live shows, this is my favourite.

It may have it's flaws mentioned above, it's still enjoyable.
