Rik Mayall

Stunned is the only word I can use here. Rik Mayall will always be a true legend od Brit comedy. The Young ones archaic but brill and ground breaking for it's time in suppose you could compare that with Monty Python in a way. bottom was just pure classic with Ade Edmondson. I wasn't keen on his political satire B'stard but I'm sure that appealed to many. I'm sure Mel Smith is waiting for him. R.I.P. Rik we will miss you.

The Young Ones, Bottom and Blackadder were a massive part of me growing up and seeing this has really saddened me. He was a great part in the way comedy TV changed in this country and he shouldn't be forgotten for that.

R.I.P. "Richard Richard"

The Young Ones and Bottom in particular had me in stitches very regularly.
Daft toilet humour at its very best .
Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson had a unique on screen chemistry that was simply hilarious.
Bashing each other over the head with frying pans was merely a taster of their ridiculously silly antics .
And I will forever remember The University Challenge episode of The Young Ones .
My memories of Rik Mayall are all very happy and very funny ones .
R.I.P.

Rik Mayall was one of my favorite comedians growing up. I loved bottom and the new statesman they were British comedy at its best.
RIP Rik

Such sad news my condolences got out to his family. R.I.P Rik Mayall

Loved The Young Ones and Bottom.... He never really grew up was always a naughty child who found farts extremely funny. RIP

This has made me genuinely sad, he was an absolute legend in my eyes.

I will never ever get bored of watching Bottom. Thank you for so many laughs Rik Mayall... RIP
