Bottom Live 2003: Weapons Grade Y-Fronts Tour Audience Reviews

SunnyHello Nice effects though.
Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
RaspberryLucozade Two years after their last show 'Bottom Live 2001 - An Arse Oddity', Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson resurrected Richie and Eddie for one last stage outing - 'Bottom Live 2003 - Weapons Grade Y-Fronts Tour', filmed live from The Cliffs Pavilion in Southend.'Weapons Grade Y-Fronts Tour' kicks off with Richie, desperate to use the toilet, being unable to relieve himself due to the fact that Eddie has been locked in the bathroom for a fortnight. After gaining access he is shocked to discover that Eddie has been creating all sorts of creations, such as Weapons Grade Lager ( which he has named 'G.M.T.V' ), The Patent Painless Tattoo Remover ( which does not so much remove the tattoo as make it merely illegible, as Richie finds out much to his cost ) and a special vacuum cleaner of which the suction is so powerful it strips a room of its entire contents.Richie is also surprised to find that Eddie has built a time-travelling toilet as well, which he names 'The Turdis' ( an blatant dig at 'Doctor Who' ). Predictably, one mishap leads to another and Richie and Eddie end up being blasted into the unknown, only for The Turdis to run out of power in the middle of nowhere. Survival looks slim...'Weapons Grade Y-Fronts Tour' is not a shining example of Rik and Ade at their best but it is not a bad farewell either. Some gags were recycled from previous shows such as the Stephen Fry reference from 'The Big Number 2 Tour' and 'The Pants Song' from 'An Arse Oddity, neither of which worked particularly well here ( though in my opinion 'The Pants Song' didn't work first time round ).There are some corkers though such as Eddie rhetorically asking Richie ''Who would have thought you could have been so full of s**t!'' after sucking the waste from his body with the vacuum, Richie claiming to have a 'quad bike flashback' ( another reference to Mayall's quad bike accident ) and Eddie's underpants shrinking to microscopic proportions whilst he is still in them.And that is where 'Bottom' ends. Rik and Ade felt they were getting a bit too long in the tooth to be knocking each other about with frying pans and were keen to move on. Probably a wise decision. In 2012, Rik and Ade planned on making a revival of 'Bottom' for television based on the 'Hooligan's Island' stage show but due to Edmondson's reluctance, it never came to anything.Funniest moment - Richie asking Eddie why he has named his home-brewed lager 'G.M.T.V'. ''Because it completely f**ks up your mind!'', replies Eddie.Second funniest moment - Richie and Eddie apparently having travelled so far back in time they have transformed into Vyvyan and Rik from 'The Young Ones', much to the delight of the audience.
nickybeet1981 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.
Ian Jenkins (Bulldog7) 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.
filmfreak-5 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!
