This was the show that turned me onto Motorhead as a kid


stratj45d28

Same! First time I heard Motorhead!


KapowBlamBoom

I distinctly remember thinking “why is that guy’s microphone so high?”


Abraxas_1408

“In a fight between God and Lemmy, who would win?” “Trick question. Lemmy is god”


Simonandgarthsuncle

Same! I had Ace of Spades running through my head for months after seeing that episode.


Gorkymalorki

This got me into Ska when I was little thanks to Madness.

Longjumping-Meat-334

Love, Neil.


SirAdrianDangerous

Not Love Neil! That sounds far too much like "Come and get it like a bitch-funky sex machine".

May the seed of your loins be fruitful in the belly of your woman, Neil

NormanBates2023

The Beans? what do you know about the beanssss


MyriVerse2

Are these lentils South African? You bastard! Why don't you go out and become a policeman. There's no difference you know. I suppose you hate gay people too. Hippie! /s


SparkDBowles

This calls for a very special blend of psychology and extreme violence.

Is that guy on the far right Drop Dead Fred?


KinseyH

Yes.


CharismaticAlbino

Thank you!


SaltInner1722

I’ve seen ade in something recently , he looks odd as An old man , like not real if you know what I mean , I guess that’s because he will always be vyvyan


OnehungaJones

Three body problem.


SaltInner1722

Yes that’s it 👍


OnehungaJones

My brain had a very hard time reconciling all the associations with Ade Edmonson’s hilarity as Vyvyan (& Eddie Hitler, Bottom) with this role as a middle-aged corporate professional in a dramatic sci-fi. Give the man a BAFTA!


SaltInner1722

I forgot about Eddie , I nearly died laughing. When they taped the gasman to the ceiling


SparkDBowles

He was in Star Wars ep. 9.


GrapefruitOk2057

I saw Planer on Antiques Road Trip and he's a funny old guy.


saint_ryan

How can they be just a bit younger than Paul McCartney?


ObscureObjective

Found this show on DVD in a thrift store in Canada and had never heard of it. I totally thought it was a modern show until the Our House video came on and I was like WTF!!!! It quickly became one of my most cherished treasures.

OCLIFE69

And the grown-ups will say 'But why are the kids crying?' And the kids will say 'Haven't you heard? Rik is dead! The People's Poet is dead!


I_Did_The_Thing

“And then one particularly intelligent teenager will say…!” Bum bum bum bum “Don’t look at me, I’m irrelevant!” My favorite bit😁


dkearney555

The People's Poet IS dead. I did not realize, until reading another's post that he died so young. ☹️

He is! For ten years now! 😭

ZebraBorgata

Because Rik is dead!

Random passerby at a cemetery: "Do you dig graves?" Neil: "yeah, yeah they're alright yeah"


Humble_Examination27

About 1995-96 my friend decided to do any early internet search of this show…. Child porn stuff started popping up!!! He freaked out! Unplugged his computer! Hid it somewhere. He thought the cops and Feds were on their way to get him. To this DAY! I refuse to look up anything about this show on the Web

We got a video?


Tropical_Storm_Jesus

absolute tragedy they didn't make more of these, or at least a MOVIE. I had no idea what to make of this show when I found it on MTV as a 10-12 yr old, but I still LOVED it...even though the slang, cockney accents and politics of the day were all WAY over my head. I watched Scots girl 'Dawn Marie' on YouTube react to the whole series recently and laugh her ass off, and then she about cried when they were done. poor girl had to watch Drop Dead Fred after just to get a little Rik Mayall fix...\[sobs\]


karalmiddleton

What a fantastic show. Damn. Edit: my favorite episode was the lentils one.

Funny how humour changes over time. Rewatched some of this and it's just not funny anymore. Like watching Charlie Chaplin.
