IBottom Live 2003: Weapons Grade Y-Fronts Tour/I is reputedly the swan song for Adrian Edmondson and Rik Mayall's Eddie Hitler and Richie Richard. If so, it's a mixed blessing, for while much of it is funny, it's also a long way from the original BBC IBottom/I series. The TV incarnation was always crude, but worked hilariously because it balanced real characterisation and comically absurd ingenuity with the vulgarity. Here Edmundson and Mayall spend 90 minutes swearing as loudly and repulsively as possible and indulging in cartoon violence, which can never--for reasons of self-preservation and the legal ramifications of killing people on stage--be as insanely inventive as on television. pWith no other characters (where are you Spudgun and Dave Hedgehog when you're most needed?) and a barely existent story involving a device that inserts a sofa in a part of Richie where no sofa should fit, and a time machine that takes our heroes on a quest to reach the bar before the audience, the material is thinly stretched. Nevertheless, the theatre audience at the Cliffs Pavilion, Southend-on-Sea seem to have had a fantastic time being roundly abused by the stars. Probably, you just had to be there. p BOn the DVD:/B IBottom Live 2003/I is presented with, for a live theatre show, a strong, anamorphically enhanced 16:9 image and perfectly serviceable, clear stereo sound. It's far from special, but notably better than the technical quality of previous IBottom/I live videos. The only extra is a slideshow of backstage images, which runs for a minute-and-a-half. I--Gary S Dalkin/I

 Knob-gags for the Naughty Noughties February 15, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is good stuff - but not as good as the series or earlier live shows. If you are a Bottom completist - as I am - it is worth buying, but only after you've exhausted the rest of their works.pIt's a bit like listening to them on radio - the visuals are not spectacular - in fact in Act 2 they are rather minimalist - but that's no bad thing. To be able to relax in front of a computer with this on in the background is a great relief, and not having to worry about missing visual gags. For those who enjoy a bit of slapstick though - and slap-and-tickle - the Act 1 set at least is really quite spectacular, a Heath-Robinson set up by Eddie to specifications found in Richie's late uncle's will. And I'll leave it to the DVD to find out what WMD really means for the two Hammersmith harlequins. pRik and Ade are definitely showing that age has not withered them (nor have the years condemned) - still cracking the knob-gags and reaching the parts which other Noughties comedies no longer dare to go - in this age of extreme prudishness, I wish there was more of this kind of comedy rather than the clever-clever stuff that seems to be more performed for the performers than for their audience. Only Little Britain dares to come anywhere near this with its audacity, and even then it relies too heavily on social commentary and not enough on the simply puerile laughs which we enjoyed ten years ago from Bottom and Men Behaving Badly. No-one could force Richie or Eddie into the politically-correct straitjacket of modern times - and you get the feeling that anyone who tried to would feel themselves on the sharp end of Eddie's "tattoo-remover" - the best gag in the show by a long chalk ;-).pWhile there is still Bottom, there is still comedy. Long live Rik and Ade!

They've done it again. "It" being reducing me to tears of laughter and causing my mates to hit me with pillows when I cheered and clapped along with the audience.brI'm not going to give the plot away (I will say..."Time-Travelling Toilet") but this was one of the funniest things I've seen on the stage. The part where Rik begins talking like Rick from "The Young Ones" and Ade pretends to spike his hair up a la Vyvyen was fab, and the retorts to the more vocal members in the audience had me wincing as well as giggling.brI'd reccommend this to anyone who likes Bottom, or is a fan of Rik and Ade. You're in for a treat.pPS Girls...Rik drops his pants (and undies) in one scene ^_~
good! June 19, 2005

Being a rather large fan of these two extra funny men, I thought I would be in for a night of tearful laughter. In all it probably raised one or two giggles. A little dissapointed in this one.pLet's hope the next they do will be fabulously funny!
Terrific? November 25, 2004

One amazing show. I went to see this show at the Nottingham Concert Hall and was brilliant! I recommend you buy this if you want a great laugh. I decided to give it 4 stars because 5 stars are a bit too much for a dvd which is bottom!! Giving this 5 stars is a bit too much but still, it's great fun!
