Rik was one of a few people who could walk on stage and without saying anything people would laugh and feel better, and not even know why.

I loved this when I was a kid. My parents and my mum in particular, were appalled by it. There are times when I still do my own "danger" as I set up to do DIY, cooking or just housework. It's so wonderfully silly.

Miss you so much already Rik. When a Genius like Rik leaves, it makes you so sad your left with talentless crap like Gervais, Brand and Walliams.

Filty, Rich and Catflap. The Dangerous Brothers. Bottom. If you look closely you can see the same sets being used in all three. The shop, the rooftop, and the lounge room/kitchen. Considering the sheer amount of bodily harm and property damage in these three programs, it is very impressive.

Rik and Ade were skilled physical comedians, but as with all such endeavours, they were lucky to escape with comparatively minor injuries. Oddly enough, Ade walking into the frozen shot of himself on fire and asking coyly, "Can you spot what went wrong?" is my favourite Ade line.

Both were also really excellent as straight actors; I saw Rick in a film that, l believe, if it were not for him, this movie would never have worked. That's how bad the script was. THe lead woman who was the protagonist had a personality that was not well matched to the role. Rick Mayel was literally the glue that kept the film together; Ade was in some really great roles among them he was a cancer patient in a 2018 revisit of "East Enders"; Really quite excellent he also played a "predator" Professor[??] in another TV series which won him much critical acclaim; Rick would have been proud of him. Rick always wanted him to take on more serious roles especially after their performances of "Waiting For Godot". Especially as they were BOTH trained actors and Rick's father, who was also a Prof. of Dramatic Arts at the U.of Manchester and trained them both. He also directed both Rick & Ade in their first foray with Beckett's "...Godot". BTW, I learned that listening to their interviews.

You can definitely see how the Dangerous Brothers paved the way to Bottom 👍

Rest in peace Rik Mayall, you are my hero!

Isn't this just just a perfect lead in to bottom 10 yrs later 😊

UTTERLY brilliant! Top respect to Rik & RIP... but Ade was always my favourite and the one who cracked me up! Genius! 😂

I forgot how much Ade looked like a cross between Macaulay Culkin and Steve Buscemi.

Ade was actually burnt in this sketch.

I use to watch them all the time when I was little, they were so funny!

This was their attempt to recapture lightning in a bottle after The Young Ones. There's a lot of recycled jokes, like "Shut up and get on the chair" is just "Shut up and tell me the answer".

Brilliant , so many laughs i had , they have been my favo actors for years , thanks for this!

Anyone else notice it is, i think, Norman Lovett of Red Dwarf fame getting his legs chopped off in the Torture sketch? Perhaps that’s why we only see his head as Holly!

That was a surprise kick.. in the goolies

Thanks for uploading this Scott, I'd never heard of the dangerous brothers show, this is just Rick and Ade at their best.

"Everyone keep quiet while he sets fire to me" is the original "This is fine."

Rest In Peace Rik, you will be missed ... :(

Absolute LUNATICS! Love Em!! :)

Rip Rik he was a genius i have subbed and liked the video greetings from ireland😊

and then there were Young Ones.. fekkin brilliant!

Like Laurel and Hardy these 2 slapstick greats worked best when together,miss you already Rik!

Dunno if its just me but Ade in the plum suit in torture is giving of major bettle juice vibes lol

I remember this.....Ade was supposed to fall to the ground but forgot and the flames scorched his face, he also forgot the 'safety' word and got scalded legs....... incredibly dangerous I do agree.....but very,very, funny.

wow saw this many many years ago on satday nights !

Thanks for recommending. Ill take any of their stuff.. I love the crew that was in Young Ones.

Pure fate brought these two together. Thank Fuck For That!

rest in peace rik.you were never better.

remember watching the tower inferno sketch and thinking it was the funniest sketch id ever seen

Thanks for this,two of the best...ever

God I miss riks genius and unique sense of humour

I've got NO BRAKES!!!

Proper funny stuff from 2 comedy greats. From the days when those who took offence kept it to themselves. Not like today when saying that offends me constitutes a way off life for far too many nutters. My answer to that sentence is so what,if you are offended turn it off and let the rest of us enjoy some funny guys being funny and your opinions are of no interest or consequence to me in the slightest.

I'd like to remind the kiddies not to try this at home as it invariably ends in death

Fun fact; in the uncut version of the scene where Abe’s legs were set on fire. Abe struggled for a few seconds trying to remember the safety word needed to extinguish the flames by saying several random words before finally rolling on the ground.

Rik amd Ade are second to none, both individually and as a duo.

In the second to last skit Adrian was looking like Beetlejuice.

Just realised the guy who's legs he chopped off is Holly from red dwarf... lol

When Saturday nights where the place to be inside sat watching this!! - I know, I was one of them 👏👏👏

Stephen Fry is a giant

After watching this a few times since Thanksgiving, I realized this was a total homage to Monty Python. Especially to their sketches of the Pirahana Bros.:Doug and Dinsdale /Dinsy. We never meet Doug and Dinsy [except as a picture] we only meet their victims during the sketch. Rik and Ade became Doug and Dinsdale on some level; The reference to the use of Irony as torture is from [Michael Palin] the escort service pimp who is afraid of Doug because of his use of litotes, irony, metaphor, symbolism and .... [gasp] sarcasm!

8:31 The name's Dangeorus, Richard Dangerous.

Richard and Sir Adrian were so marriage-coded fr 💖

It's a shame Ade quit comedy, hes into cooking and morris dancing these days (I'm not lying). His take on it is that he's been in comedy for 30 years and he's heard all the jokes (refers to something spike milligan said which was basically the same thing but it was in the 80s and Ade thought it was rude of spike to say so at the time, eventually he too felt that way).

Sheer brilliance.

Yeah! Take tha..! That’s our car! This is our car!
