    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Adrian Edmondson and Rik Mayall originally planned to call the series 'Your Bottom' - so that viewers would be heard to say such things as, "I saw Your Bottom on television last night".
    • Goofs
      In the episode 'Apocalypse', Eddie (disguised as the grim reaper) states that he doesn't know how to play chess, and Richie says that he will teach him. However, in the later episode 'Culture', it is the other way around - Eddie knows how to play chess, and Richie does not.
    • Quotes

      Eddie: This is a sex shop isn't it?

      Shop Assistant: Yes.

      Eddie: [slaps money down] I'll have five quid's worth then!

      Shop Assistant: Very droll sir, I've never heard that one before.

      Eddie: Haven't you? Shall I tell it again?

      Shop Assistant: No thank you sir, I'd rather have a pineapple inserted violently into my rectum.

      Eddie: You've been working here too long mate.

    • Crazy credits
      During the closing credits of the Series 3 opening show 'Hole' Eddie is heard shouting "Woo Hoo!" and Richie is heard screaming which confirms Richie and Eddie both survived falling from the Ferris wheel.

    Pure brilliance
    This truly is one of the best comedies I have ever seen most of it had me in tears especially the live shows. It is amazing how they made two guys living in a run down flat so amusing showing the wacky ideas and very over the top fighting brought a tear to my eye many a time!!
