Rik Mayall was an absolute tornado of a performer and was taken much too soon
He lives on in the face of gregg davies.
100% agreed though, he stole the scene whilst surounded by britains finest.
Drop dead fred sticks with me the hardest, must have watched it 500 times as a kid
He WAS Flashheart.
Like a tornado, lol
@@seldom_bucket
Oh man it's been years since I have seen that film. I know what I'm watching tonight :)
Flash is god. He IS god. I just looked at him and he got me pregnant.
Flashheart existed for about 15 minutes, spread over two episodes that were several years apart and the character is legendary.
I can't think of another sitcom character that has made such an impact with such little screen time, he entered the national psyche...woof !
The character was inspired by the character 'Flashman' in the books of the same name by George MacDonald Fraser which are well worth a read if you enjoy a good laugh, fast paced adventure, historical fiction and would like to discover weird and interesting snippets of history from the height of the British Empire.
Woof!
Bark!
So little screen time.
Recently found out Rik Mayall was filmed for Harry Potter as Peeves but they couldn't get anything recorded because every line he did all the kids couldn't stop laughing. They had him stand out of view and shout his lines and even then the kids couldn't stop themselves. The guy was made for comedy and just radiates charisma. Taken way too soon, but the candle that burns twice as bright, burns half as long.
Nooooo he would have been perfect as Peeves! im so upset they didn't include him
"Treat your kite like your woman get inside her five times a day and take her to heaven and back" best lines in Blackadder history absolutely love Rik mayall he was taken far too soon he truly was a legend !!!!
"My God!"
Flashheart "Yes I suppose I am"
Rik Mayall OWNED every scene in every series he was ever in. I also recommend you watching him in The New Statesman.
Rik Mayall is irreplaceable. There is nobody who could even play the role of him in a biopic. He was truly a one off and we are blessed to have lived in a time shared (albeit too short a time) with his presence.
Blackadder 2, 3 and esp 4 are the greatest examples of British comedy writing and performing ever. It's not surprising when you look who the writers, cast and crew were. All now house hold names the world over ❤️
Absolutely spot on comment✌️👍
Yep!
Yeah I tried with the first series but it just didn't do it for me. Blackadder and Baldrick totally switched character between the 1st and 2nd.
@@markysumm72 totally agree BA 1 was very poor in comparison imo✌️
@@markysumm72 I agree, I find Blackadder 1 unwatchable but the rest I can watch over and over and they still blow me away with the phenomenal writing and performing.
I'm watching this on Armistice/Veterans day.
My great grandfather was a WW1 airman. He was shot down at the 3rd Battle of Ypres also known as Passchendaele. He crashed in No man's land and that was the end of that. So this episode resonates with me.
These guys did a remarkable job at finding ways to lampoon the insanity and futility of that war. It is a masterpiece of TV comedy and the final episode makes me cry, no matter how often I've seen it.
Black Adder was the funniest written sitcom ever put to the screen. That WWI series is inspired.
Nothing has made me laugh more in my life than Rik Mayall…The People’s Poet
I used to drink in the same London pub as Rik Mayall in the 80s. He was such a modest man, almost shy, in real life. He gained fans from being in The Young Ones in the early 80s. You should check it out
Met Rowan Atkinson while working at Le Mans, he spent some time with our team, he was very similar, would quietly say "hello" when he arrived and then keep out of the way and watch what we were doing.
Saw an interview with Mayall in a pub and he was shy to the point of autism?
Before that, he took his "spear to the theatre" & went on to become Kevin Turvey.
This 4th series is just perfection. Cannot be bettered.
I think you 2 need to watch Rik Mayall in a show called Bottom.
I'm going to have to watch the Blackadder box set again!
And the way Mayall delivered those lines is just out of this universe😂
The best bit is the lines are obviously scripted but Ben elton said in an documentary that action wise he told Rik to "do whatever feels right" so Rik decided that he was going to make the cast and crew crack up, Tim McInnery (Darling) said that they had to bin one take because you could hear belly laughs coming from behind the camera. Also he's in series one when you get around to it playing a very different character.
It was hard to make Rik not do that in fairness.
Same reason he was cut from Harry Potter. No one could get anything done because he had them all laughing non stop.
He's also in Blackadder, back and forth as robin hood.
My step-father didn't laugh much, but in this series, especially, he was doubled over. Not just brilliant writing, but I saw a programme where all the cast and writers visited the famous battlegrounds like the Somme and Verdun to pay their respects before they made the series a satire about WWI you have to be careful with. Quite a moving documentary. Get this for a mad fact - TheWeek newspaper uncovered the fact years later - There really was a Captain Blackadder who fought in World War I. And a Private Baldrick, a Captain Darling and a Lieutenant George! - I had no idea all these years.
I think this is probably my favourite segment of all the Blackadder series. Mayall absolutely knocks it out of the park but the way the others deliver there lines makes it work at a top level all round. Comedy genius.
Bladderadder goes forth is the best series of all of em
The final episode is a one to watch, so absolutely moving and really shows not only the bravery of every man who 'went over the top' but also the futility of war.
If you like Rik Mayall you should check out his character Alan B’Stard, the 80’s far right Tory MP..... not only was Rik a comedy genius, as it turns out he was a prophet too 😬
just playing some of the MP's of the day. At least the tories can put women and non white people in power - unlike the Labour party, who abandoned the working class years ago.
Can we have just one channel....just 1......like 1 where someone isn't trying to shoe horn politics into everything?
@@marccas10 it's actually extremely funny. Laughing at politicians is what we all should be doing. That why I love "yes minister" and "yes prime minister" so much. The west wing and the original house of cards too.
It's very difficult to mention a comedy about a politician without it containing politics.
Even Blackadder is often about politics. Given that Ben Elton was involved with the writing, then it's unlikely politics wouldn't be involved in some way. He also wrote The Young Ones, which I never really liked at the time. Maybe I should look again.
I first saw Rik as Kevin Turvey in 'A Kick Up The Eighties'
Do you honestly believe that the Conservative party is "far right"?
The Conservative party has the exact same policies that Labour had 10 years ago... does that mean that Labour was "far right" in 2010?
There is no actual right-wing party in the UK, except for Reform which is only centre-right.
The Conservative party is far-left and the Labour party are extreme far-left radicals.
The Overton window has shifted so far to the left over the last 20 years. It's ridiculous. The WW1 and WW2 generation never would have fought if they knew what Britain would turn into in the 21st century.
Absolutely love Rik Mayall, the other actors are great, but he just takes the cake. He was a comic genius. He is so sharp, so offensive, such a worldwind that you just got to love him. He is also brilliant in "The Young ones " and " Bottom" both series absolutely classics. Of all the blackadder episodes the ones taking place under WW1 where the best. With a devastating war as backdrop those episodes showcased the absurdities and meaninglessness of war using humour as a weapon to critize a war that was devastating for the people of Great Britain. A whole generation of young men died in that war, not a village was untouched by dead- having lost a son, brother, husband, sweathart or fiance. "The war to end all wars " was the optimistic title for WW1 before it began, but the severe warpenalty placed on Germany as the loser of WW1 laid the groundwork for WW2. Germany was crippled economicly and the hopelesness and powerty that emcompassed the german people paved the way for a strong leader that where an answer to the economic problems. A leader who would make Germany great again and save them. A leader who used prevalelent antisemitic sentiments to display jews as the guilty party behind Germanys problems.
Phenomenal! There was an element of this when Stirling formed the S.A.S. He was told to “go find what he needed” for his new unit. By the end of the week, various trucks, small arms and ammunition “disappeared “ from their usual units. Oh, plus a piano………..
Just recently discovered you guys, and I'm so happy I have. I'm English born and raised but lived in the USA for the past 10+ years, and feel such a connection to your reactions. I absolutely love that you are laughing at and enjoying so much UK and Irish TV. Thank you for doing that, it means a lot. You guys are great, best of luck with the channel. Subscribed, you got a new fan in me!
You guys really need to watch some more Rick Mayall material, especially Bottom and The Young Ones, he was a comedy genius.
Rik Mayall was an incredible performer, able to play extreme opposites: charismatic, explosive lotharios, and sleazy little shnites. Hilarious in either form.
RIP RIK ONE OF THE BEST
Rik Mayall... Still sadly missed from our TV screens over here... When he came on, be it on one of his own shows or a cameo appearance, you just knew you were in for a treat.
A true national comedy treasure taken from us and his family far too soon!
This episode has always been my favorite every member of the cast performing brilliantly and Rick at his outrageous chaotic best and later a cameo from his lifelong friend and comic partner Adrian Edminson.
Rik Mayall plays Greg Davis`s dad in Man Down (In the 1st series as he died before the second ) A really underrated show
good old slack bladder - brilliant series; well written and such a fine cast to bring it to life - wibble 😂
The legend of Rik Mayall. We miss you.
Wonderful series this was the most poignant my own personal favourite is the 2nd series at the court of Queen Elizabeth 1 and the magnificent Miranda Richardson as Queenie. Rik Mayall a force of Nature
I think the 3rd series is best, the one where Blackadder roasts Dr Johnson played by Robbie Coltrane is brilliant.
I was young British Army soldier watching this when it came out whilst on guard duties in early 90s. Ril May all clip as SAS Sgt in Whoops Apocalypse film is legendary. We had a Sgt just like him. We were watching it one stag duty in the Outer Hebs in 91. He was Orderly Sgt. He walked in exactly as Rik Mayalls part came up. The whole guard shift in the guard room in-between patrols never laughed so much. 😢😢
Rip rik mayall. Absolute legend
Rik Mayall a lovely bloke and a comic genius so sad he was taken far to soon R.I.P
Lord flashheart was such a unique and well done character perfect for Blackadder series
This is _still_ available to stream on the BBC, in the UK. It's stood the test of time. I watched all 4 Series, for the umpteenth time recently and it totally cracked me up. Both times (in Series 2 and 4) that Rik Mayall appears as Lord Flasheart, he just comes in and absolutely _steals_ the show.
Love the Suffragette line!
HE WAS ALSO IN THE YOUNG ONES, STUDENTS IN A HOUSE HAVING A BLAST AND MANY TOP BANDS IF THE TIME APPEARING
Have you been to the laundrette!!
No have you??
@@petermizon4344 why yes! And it was a battle I can tell you!
@@jessicapayne8622 havent a clue what your on about
@@petermizon4344 it’s a young ones thing x
I am so glad that you are discovering the late and very great Rik Mayall, RIP. He was such an exciting performer and Lord Flashheart is iconic! They tried to create a US vehicle for him with the movie Drop Dead Fred but I don't think his humour and style translated well to an American audience. As I'm sure many here will suggest, you should try watching Bottom next (or The Young Ones). Or perhaps A Fistful of Travelers Cheques, from the Comic Strip Presents (a short but brilliant satire of Spaghetti Westerns). Love to see it! :)
Mr Jolly lives next door also brilliant. Take out Nicholas Parsons pmsl
@@marktaylor5722 Yes! Although I recently watched it for the first time in a while with a friend who thought it was too intense, so I'm thinking maybe not as a first foray into Rik & Ade territory lol. Although it is still one of my faves, I agree. I recently saw an episode of Better Call Saul that had a lot of obvious references to Mr. Jolly (the one called "50% Off" from S5).
@@marktaylor5722 Honestly, I think as music fans they should watch Bad News. RIP Colin Grigson.
Rik is also fab in The New Statesman. My favourite.
Great one lads👍we all realise you have an intense schedule but it would be amazing if you were able to do a whole episode reaction. Rik Mayall as Flash heart is just awesome! RIP Rik Mayall
Theyve been doing it on Patreon. Theyve nearly finished the series. This was clipped from their full reaction
@@wildwine6400 thanks for the info 👍✌️
@@wildwine6400 with the patreon thing, coz I iz stoopid and don't understand how it works, would you be able to tell me as one of their patrons, does one have to join for a set period like an annual subscription? Or is it a month at a time situation? And if one were to join today, would they only see content from today onwards? Or is the back catalogue available? Hope you can help, thanks
@@theinvisibleneonrainbowzeb2567 you join and are billed monthly at the price you are billed. The basic tier is £1 and then its £3. £1 gives access to all their uploads so far and £3 gives the same but allows you to watch movies they will be uploading
@@wildwine6400 thanks so much for your reply much appreciated 👍🏼
Rik Mayal at his best off-script improvisations, he rarely stuck to a script! 🤣🙈🤣
The Flashheart charachter is so over the top it's brilliant and suited Rik Mayal to the tee. Miss your absence Rick
Rik Mayall is very sadly missed but his comic genius lives on forever👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🌹
R.I.P to a absolute hero of mine Rik was one of the greats. You must check out bottom live outtakes especially the one of them breaking charecture
I served in the British army 40 years ago, we got word the Duke of Edinburgh was planning a snap visit. It was summer and the grass was a brown shade, so a few of us new boys were dispatched to the stores to get green paint and brushes so that we could paint the grass. I came away with the last tin of paint(metallic green) and a one inch brush. I painted the grass with difficulty, then got ordered to paint the leaves of a nearby tree. Try it, what a bunch of knobs! The Duke arrived in a staff car, hopped out and walked right past my finished efforts without a glance or a thank you. The moral of this story? Don't join up, the ones in charge are twats who really haven't a clue.
I've worked on a couple of industrial sites that were having a royal visit and they spent scores of man hours tarting things up. They must go through life thinking everything is pristine.
I recall Billy Connelly saying that the Queen must have thought the whole of the UK smelt like fresh paint because there was some bugger, a few feet ahead giving everything a quick lick if paint! @Britonbear
Rik Mayall (Drop dead fred) was a force of nature in UK comedy from the 1980s onwards . died too young and is one of the great geniuses who is sorely missed. worth watching the young ones and Bottom was probably his finest hour.
Rik Mayall (Flash heart) is part of a duo in a hilariously funny British TV series called Bottom.. To get a taste of Bottom you should check out " Bottom Ultraviolence" (its slapstick).. I think it will appeal to your sense of humour..
"to get a taste of Bottom" 😄
@@Zippy66 ooer, get it? It sounds rude. It sounds a bit like bum!
@@BigyetiTechnologies 😂😂👍
@@Zippy66 hold on the gravy😂😂✌️
@@BigyetiTechnologies Of course I get it, I'm English!
Great reaction clip guys. I love that you're loving Blackadder (how could you not?) Cheers for sharing for non-Patreon people!
It would be a lot cooler if you were a Patreon person, the full episode is there 😉
Show me an American comedy that is genuinely THIS HILARIOUS
Rik mayall is an absolute British legend!! Check out his iconic comedies called the young ones and bottom
Blackadder seasons 2-4 are all comedy gold. A lot of people prefer season 4 but for me season 3 was the best.
In the ‘time maching’ with baldrick and blackadder checkout rick mail as Robin Hood brilliant
Always a crazy episode when Flasheart made an appearance.
British comedy is the best in the world
Best Comedian Ever lived R.I.P Rik Mayall.
Rik Mayall- Absolute legend. Everytime he’s in screen, he takes over it
Rik Mayall who played Lord Flash heart was also Drop Dead Fred. His comedy partner Adrian Edmondson played the Baron Von Richtoven. They were both in a series called Bottom which you should definitely check out.
I loved Rik Mayall with his comedy foil Ade Edmonson, both were complete nutcases, all the way back to the "Dangerous Brothers".
Blackadder is my favourite comedy of all time. Especially Part 2 and Part 4. I still use many of the one liners in conversation more than 35 years later.
I don’t know if you already know this but the actor playing George is Hugh Laurie who also played Dr House.
Thing to remember is that initially British pilots weren't provided with parachutes because the general's felt it would make them less likely to engage and more likely to dump their plane at the first sign of danger. These were the same generals that thought planes were a bad idea with Haige actually being quoted as saying "what can a plane do that a horse can't?" - I'd have thought fly was obvious but clearly not! Tanks were also a bad idea and invention apparently but rushing lines of trenches filled with barbed wire and machine guns was a great plan!
Hugh Laurie is one of most underrated comedy actors ever. he is magnificent.
Oh man, hilarious!!! I was living over there when these first came out on VHS, I had them all!! So funny!!! Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
The series is over 30 years old but still feels fresh. Hasn't dated at all.
Glad you enjoy them as much as us Brits do... They're all fantastic!
Love your videos guys, one of if not my favourite channels on CZcams. Keep up the awesome work guys ❤️
Rik was an absolute legend
Yes! One of my favourite clips of all time from Blackadder and Rik Mayalls performances 😁❤️
The young ones are a must.
Rik was such a comedic force. Have you seen any of the series Bottom? If not you need to, especially the live shows. His character is just as horny as Lord Flashhart but is a complete and utter loser and virgin. With him and Ade Edmondson it's absolute comedy gold. And you can find the full shows on CZcams. At least you used to be able to.
Another great vid, thanks guys.
Random tidbit my local amateur theater did a take on Blackadder Goes Forth 3 years ago and I played Bob. Was such a fun time.
You have to watch The Young Ones if you like Rik Mayall .It was really groundbreaking .Watch a whole programme though .
Rik Mayall... From my home town... Local hero... Always a genius of comedic lines and just... Anarchy. His various partnerships with Ade Edmondson are the stuff(s?) of paradise... Tragedy.
Squadron Commander Flashheart is almost certainly based in part on real life RFC ace Edward 'Mick' Mannock
Rik Mayall was a comedy genius, everything he did was funny.
The Young Ones, Blackadder, Bottom...even the Nintendo TV adverts he made were quality too.
Taken way too soon, forever missed.
you two should watch Bottom Live 1 featuring Rik Mayall & Ade Edmonson at their absolute crazy best. You would piss yourself laughing
Would be a good one for their new movie patreon. Going by the scenes they enjoy they would love it!
I swear I've been laughing at this scene since as I was about 10yrs old though fully understood it more as I've got older and it funnier still. Never gets old. This series and the Queen 1 are my favourite!
Ps I've just turned 43!
You guys have to do full episodes of this season. Really, it's what we are all waiting for! Thanks for the reaction lads
Read the whole video title bud...
@@AD270479 I don't pay for things on youtube. But I still want to see it. I don't have a problem with telling the lads that. That sort it out for you BUD
Great snippet fellas🫶🏽😂😂😂😂
Rik Mayall such a talent RIP
How good is this episode!! (I've got a few pilot mates and they're all the same.............................)
Never gets old as you say. Pure genius..
Rik Mayall is like Billy Connolly in that everyone loves him unconditionally and he would call you a bastard for even suggesting it🤣
Should check out Man Down, the series where he plays Greg Davies's Dad. He did one series before he sadly passed but it is f**king hilarious!
I see Edmund and George are already sporting their wings! That is before they have had any flight trading. That's what you call fast tracking.
Blackadder is the best series ever made
Great reaction guys
Great clip lads.
Guys, please please PLEASE check out Rik Mayall (Flash) & his comedy partner Ade Edmonson's TV show "Bottom" - I think you'll really enjoy it!!! Rik was taken from us way too soon.
Hugh Laurie of house fame along with numerous Brit legends on this show
These are comedy legends and gold coming from the UK, You should have seen Rick Mayall in "the young ones"
Rik Mayhall a total legend!
Love Blackadder.
My favourite British show, the whole show is brilliant!
Greg Davis on graham Norton talking about how he got rik to play his dad in man down 😂
I so keep coming back to you 2 and this it's just genius Lord Flash Heart lol.
Never gets old.......lol
Up didilly up, down didilly down, ups poo twiddly dee, Oh God I love this🙂👍👍👍
You two guys need to check out 'Flash heart' in Blackadder II. He's hilarious. Blackadder II, set in the Elizabethan era.
Rik is my all time funniest person ever to have walked the board's...RIP RIK
Me too…nothing or no one has made me laugh more than Rik Mayall
Excellent show 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I concur with everyone who says that you need to watch "Bottom" next
