Really? I thought he was just lamenting his main meal ticket had gone. Such anguish.

A friend and I watched Rik and Ade perform many times at the Woolwich Tramshed in 1979. One night, as they came on stage, they saw that we were the ONLY TWO in the audience and asked if we wouldn't mind if they skipped their act since they knew we'd seen it all before. Instead they invited us for a drink at the bar which was great fun but the highlight of the evening was to still to come. A short while later at the train station (again empty except for the two of us) Rik's voice boomed over from the opposite platform... apologising that we had missed out and offering to do some of the act before their train arrived. Sure enough, within a couple of minutes, their train did arrive and we were left thinking - well that was fun while it lasted. As the train pulled out though, we were thrilled to see Rik and Ade still there and determined to carry on from where they'd left off. (Everyone who'd just got off the train must have wondered exactly what sort of poetry reading they'd dropped into.) Several trains later, both platforms were crammed-full of people watching and what had started off as a private performance became a full-blown Dangerous Brother's show. Forty years later, this all seems like a dream but the energy on that night was incredible. Thank you Rik and Ade!

I was very lucky to see him and ade live doing Bottom hooligans island. Hilarious show, both enormous talents. Rik was a firecracker you couldn't take your eyes off. He felt like a big part of my life. No filter. Very sad to see him go.

We love them both but they were best mates,imagine your best mate passing away, thank u both for the best laughs i ever had.

Ade couldn't done a better tribute bloody lovely top bloke rip to an amazing legend .x

Poor Ade looks devastated. Rik: what a legend. Still very sadly missed.

Edmonson and Mayall put out some of the best comedy shows the world has ever known, let alone Britain.

He was such a light in this world with his humor. Miss him so much.

It still breaks my heart to watch this. Partly as i grew up with Rik and Ade and they made me laugh more than i could have wished for, but partly as i can hear and feel the absolute pain in Ade's voice after losing such a great friend. That must have been a tough gig.

Two of the most entertaining people I've ever had the pleasure of growing up watching. I feel for Ade.

When they made you laugh so hard it became painful, the pair of them togeather were dangerous. Loved them. I will always regret never seeing them live, I was to young at the time, my older brothers both did and said they were amazing. Comedy Gods.

Met and chatted to both of them, but not together. I wish I'd met them together. Adrian is quite withdrawn, but Rik was exactly like you'd expect - and there was no audience or anyone watching. Hero.

Still, one of the best and most emotional videos I’ve ever seen…

Just happened upon this video and it struck me again how much I miss seeing Rick on the screen and still can’t comprehend his untimely departure. He was a real kingpin in my formative years of watching what was then called ‘alternative’ comedy. I used to tape the Young Ones on a cassette and bring it in to school and we’d all re-giggle huddling around a tape player listening to the audio of the last evening’s episode. Lord Flashheart, Alan B’Stard - the list is endless. Multi-talented and a downright great bloke. Ade Edmondson bravely held his head high in a fashion that would have made his late friend extremely proud. A deep loss to comedy and......just general FUN.

May Rik Mayall rest in peace. Thank you for many years of utter laughter. Pure genius can't believe it's 2 yrs. Never will you be forgotten.

Poor bugger cant imagine what hes going thru without rik the whole nation feels ur pain Ade he was a great man and will never be matched Rip Rik Mayall u sexy sexy bloke xx

"Wrick" and Adrian, those two together simply was meant to be,out of ALL the comedy duo's, they have been the best,RIP people's poet you will be missed until the end of time!!!

honestly to me Rik and Ade were probably the only two performers that constantly worked together that actually liked each other they weren't just partners, they were best fucking friends and when we lose Ade I pray he's buried next to Rik

So true mr ade,such a waste 😔❤️ the best comedy duo of all time by far.normally in comedy duos there is the main entertainer then the fancy sidekick but with you and rik you were both on the same level which i loved,and i was grateful to see you both live in bristol for bottom no.2 live!!! Such an amazing and most funniest nights in my life 😊👍👍👍❤️ god bless you rik,such a good tribute ❤️

It's weird, I never realised what a fan I was of Rik until I heard that he died. I normally don't give much of a toss when I hear of a celebrity death, but I was genuinely gutted when heard about Rik passing. He had this anarchic and super animated quality that you don't see from many British actors. The Young Ones was a little before my time, but Drop Dead Fred was my favourite childhood film. I've been watching a lot of The Young Ones since news of his death and love the guy even more now. Definitely one of a kind. RIP Rik.

I was a kid in the 90s and when you're 11 years old watching Bottom and Drop Dead Fred on repeat was something my brother and I loved, and when I was a teenager I found an appreciation for the Young Ones and The New Statesman. I get that his comedy style wasn't everyone's cup of tea but in my mind he was absolutely a British comedy legend. Ade is a really nice chap too.

Bless him, I just want to hug him to pieces

Just to put the record straight... they were *still* best of friends when Rik sadly passed. The story in the media was hyped as usual, typical case of the gutter press digging for dirt where there isn't/wasn't any. Yes, Ade had a change of heart and decided he wanted to do some different things, no harm in that. After all, they'd been doing it for 30+ years. However, their friendship still remained. I won't tell you how, but please be assured that I know this to be fact. RIP Rik, you'll be very sorely missed sir.

I love that even while he's sad, he's looking back at his friendship with Rik with fondness and holding onto the memory of his old pal, Rik would be so happy to know how he's going to be remembered by his friend.

I met him when working behind the scenes on the first ever comic relief. A roomful of us were typing pledges into the computers. A voice behind me said "This is the lady I'm looking for" I turned round and it was him, my hero. He gave me a big kiss on the cheek and then went to every girl in the room and have her a kiss. I asked for another one at some point and then, on his way out he came up and gave me another one. What a man. I think 2 other 'celebs' came in that night and they just stood at the door and waved. I'll never forget how genuinely lovely he was.

just found this, thought Ade was very quiet after Rik passed away - and quite rightly so - fair play Ade after only 4 days after the passing of a great friend - very brave - love you both xx xx

I lost my best friend 27 years ago, and still miss him like it was yesterday. The only thing that helps is gratitude that we were in each others lives, and that because of that love, i realise every day how precious the moments and dear people are, and have continued to shape myself a more loving human being. I can see Rick giving me the 2 fingers and muttered "tosser", and my friend saying with those glowing eyes, " The Captain salutes you."

Rik Mayall what a legend, loved all the Comic Strip presents in the 1980s. 💜👍

Six years later it still gets to me, and I didn't even know him. I can't imagine how his friends feel.

Never be forgotten. He's still here for the ppl who remember him.

Bought Tears to my eyes within seconds this did!Oww poor Ade

This still breaks my heart. As utterly heartbroken as I was when Rik died, I can't imagine the kind of pain those close to him were going through. Ade and Rik were brothers and best friends, and he had to deal with his own specific kind of trauma with his death. I was actually scared for him for a while, because I'd never seen him that depressed before and I wasn't sure if he'd ever be the same again. And it's not like he exactly was, but he was definitely strong enough to move forward with a new stage in his life. Never should have doubted his ability to do that. Rik wouldn't have.

Thank you Ade and to the whole Young Ones team. A part of life I'll cherish. Always watching repeats when I need to get back on track.

I honestly can’t watch the end of this I’m to upset.

Not a single person has ever made me laugh as much as Rik and Ade. Even watching Bottom endlessly for many many years I still find it ridiculously funny. RIP Rik. Thanks for the endless laughter.

Beautiful..just had to say x

Awww 🥰 this is proper sad ☹️ I loved Rik & Ade as a kid they made my childhood such a happy time 😞😞R.I.P Rik comedy will never be the same again 🥺🥺🥺🥺

I remember the trips to Amsterdam (I'm from Holland) to buy all the VHS tapes of Bottom. Every time I saved enough money I bought one part.

Oh, my goodness. I feel for you Adrian, and all who knew Rick. You two were the best comedy team in my esteem, and when you raised your glass and looked up at the sky and laughed that was pure Vyvyan! All our love to you Adrian if you see this.

This is a very moving video. I'm from Barcelona and our region, Catalonia, was the first in Spain to broadcast all those subversive innovative Beeb shows (Who, Younc One, Black Adder, Yes Minister). I was only six when the Young Ones was first put on telly but it stayed with me and with many other people as well. We grew with them, they taught us about irreverence and the absurd. Even now, 30 years later we still remember those shows as a benchmark for all that came later. And believe if I say that many of us got extremely pissed off and even cried when we heard Rik left the building. So thanks for this lovely compilation of the things Ade had to say about his friend.

I am 70, age has nothing to do with appreciating talent, love them both from the Young Ones😂👏👏👏👏👏😘🇬🇧

I still cry to this day he was absolutely amazing god bless Rik 🙏

There was never a time he was a disappointment or I didn't feel only love towards him for all the joy and laughs he'd enhanced my life with. He'll always be remembered fondly by me.

Rik's spirit lives on in us all. He touched all our lives with his debonair smile and devilish wit! I wish I had met him. But he's a huge inspiration and thank God we had him. Great tribute xxx

This is so touching....RIP the comic genius that was/is Rik Mayall

"What a waste"... So true. So much left to be done, and so much that could be done. A disparity of life. Rick achieved so much but there was still so much. I suppose thats the downside of genius. No matter what you have achieved, there will always be more to do... God, I miss Rick Mayall

Rik was a lightening bolt sent from heaven, completely unique and brilliant.

Rik was a gem... Sadly missed for now and forever... Still cant believe it that he is not here... Taken from us way to bloody early... Bastard 😢

Well.. that just fucking broke my heart. And my eyes are leaking and.. I've really nothing else to say.

So bitter sweet. True love for a dear friend lost.

Rest in peace Rik. So sorry to hear this. The Young Ones made it all the way to the boondocks of america (Alabama) where I went to college (on MTV). He (they) made us laugh and I will always look back fondly at those times and his silly energy and exuberance. R.I.P Rik, you were a genius that made us laugh. JG

i watched bottom with my dad when i was rlly young (like 5/6) and all i remember is me not understanding much of the jokes but still found it funny then i seen it on netflix and decided to rewatch it again and even got in on dvd and now it is my all time favourite british show

Still can't believe that he's gone, even after 6 years. Unfortunately, I never got to meet him, because you can't help thinking that he would have been an incredibly nice, down to earth bloke. The posting by Simonize41 thankfully confirms this. I remember hearing stories that he and Ade had fallen out because Ade didn't want to do anymore "Bottom", but, it would appear that this wasn't true. Like any good friends, it is possible to disagree about something and to be upset, but still remain extremely close despite differences of opinion. I have no way of knowing off course, but I'm sure that Rik and Ade loved and valued each other and would have remained friends whatever disagreements they had. It's clear to anyone that whenever Ade talks about Rik, he's still deeply upset and misses him terribly. As do we all.

I dunno, there's something completely loveable about Ade.

Still watch bottom live shows over and over again the chemistry between two best mates working together ripping on each other mid play and having fun at each others expense there really won't be another pair like them it's so sad that they didn't get to do that tv series of hooligans island really wish I could have met Rik he sounds like an encounter you'd never forget and be able to tell people about over and over gone too soon buddy

I was there, it was a nice evening and the music and choice of ales was rather brilliant. I waited to meet Ade after but I thought I would just leave him with his wine and food. I was surprised at the double bass players choice of t shirt. Bathory..

4 days after loosing his best friend and honouring his commitments to appear on stage,he must have been so torn up but the show must go on..legend

They never advertised one of his serious best of all time acting gig`s with the lovely helena bonham carter.It`s called dancing queen and personally i think it`s one of riks best ever pieces of work and possible the kind of chap he actually was in real life.For the real Fans of rik mayall,have a butchers hook at this! RIP rik you absolute bloody darling!You aint gone in spirit lad!Still rocking it! xx

Rik is truly and deeply sadly missed, R.I.P
