You utter, utter, utter bastard

[Les Norton]

"Rick, is dead, the people's poet is dead" quote from the Young Ones.

Can't believe one of the world's funnies blokes Rik Mayall is dead. I know there's a lot of Rik Mayall fans on the Bay, so thought it appropriate (although not footy related) to send him a shout out.

Here's to you - Rik; Lord Flashheart; Richard "Richie" Richard; Richie Rich; Professor Adonis Cnut; Richard Dangerous; Drop Dead Fred; Richie Twat; Alan B'stard; Mad Gerald; Gideon Pryke; Richard Twat etc etc.

Just another sign sadly that I'm getting older....

 

[Brucie Buffer]

Way too young, Young Ones one of my all time faves.

 

[Lord Rod]

Fred dropped dead...

RIP Rik

C'ya Rik. I would have had to come up with some shitty username like JackAttack! or Amstaff_ if it weren't for you

The Youngones on University challenge was a cracker.

Wash your mouth out ****face

The Youngones on University challenge was a cracker.

One of my favourites too.

Such a simple joke, so many laughs.

Thanks Bridesmaid, Like the beard, gives me something to hang on to.

Bottom is one of my favourite comedy shows.



No doubt Eddie will be saluting Richie with a few well earned pints.

Vyvyan: It's a video nasty!
Rick: It's a carpet farty!

Rick: Vyvyan! You utter bastard! Why aren't you in your bed?
Vyvyan: Because I'm not going to bed tonight.
Rick: What do you mean you're not going to bed tonight? How dare you not go to bed tonight! I go to all the trouble to board you up in your bedroom, and you don't even have the common decency to be in there!

Rick: Vyvyan, you never told us your mother was a bartender.
Vyvyan: She was a shoplifter when I knew her.
Neil: She doesn't look strong enough. To lift shops

Neil: [doing the washing] Come on, guys. The sooner we start, the sooner we finish.
Rick: Ha. They said that about the... , er... , something that took a long time to finish.

Rick: We NEVER clean the toilet, Neil. That's what being a student is all about. No way, Harpic. No way, Dot. All that Blue Loo scene is for squares. One thing's for sure, Neil. When Cliff Richard wrote "Wired for Sound", no way was he sitting on a clean lavatory. He was living on the limit, just like me. Where the only place to put bleach is in your hair.
Vyvyan: Living on Limits? What, are you on a diet?
Rick: No, I live on The Limit, Vyvyan. The Limit. Because I'm a Rider at the Gates of Dawn and I take no prisoners.

Mike: Rick, Your parents died this morning.
Rick: My parents are dead? I can't believe it.
Neil: And you think that's bad?
Rick: Well yes I do actually what's it to you piss face?

Rick: [pacing around the room] Meringue... Boomerang... Long, blue, boomerang...
Vyvyan: Oh, shut up.
Rick: I'm trying to free form.
Vyvyan: I'm trying to read.
Rick: OH, REALLY! I learned how to do that years ago. And what is it your reading Vyvian? A bit of Petrarchian verse, is it? A little bit of French drama?
Vyvyan: It's called "SS Death Camp Criminal Battalion go to Monte Casino for the Massacre".
Rick: [snatching comic] That's MY bloody comic.
Vyvyan: Give it back.
Rick: No, Vyvyan. It's mine.
[sits down and reads]
Rick: Anyway, there's no point in reading comics, they're stupid. They treat the kids as if they we're... well, you know, kids. Nothing but war in them. War, war bloody war. Why can't they have stories about love and peace?
Vyvyan: Because it's sissy, you girly.
Rick: I'm not being girly, Vyvyian. Longing for a peaceful world is not being girly.
Vyvyan: It is - It's being soppy and very very girly.
Rick: I AM NOT BEING G - Look, this entire discussion is completely sexist anyway and I don't intend to continue it.
[puts head down to read comic]
Rick: but
[looks up again]
Rick: for your information, it is not soppy of me to long for a world where a man will love his brother.
Vyvyan: ****.
Rick: You're dilibratelly trying to provoke me aren't you?
Vyvyan: Yeah.
Rick: For one man to love another, Vyvyan, is not ****y. It's actually very beautiful. It's only when they start touching each others bottoms that it gets ****y.

Like many in this thread, I was fortunate enough to have the Young Ones hit me at just the right time of life. I too was a Young One then, my friends and I laughed until we stopped, we laughed until it hurt, and Rick (with a silent P as Vivien used to say) was there right in the middle of it all.

Because we may not be the young ones very long...

someone please open my terrible drunk thread from Sunday night. I now know why I was so sad.

 

[dees arent rabble]

Fav ever show you ****s

 

[JD-Roo]

Sad day for comedy

Vyvyan: Give it back.

when you read it, this dialogue is the blueprint for the bay.

rik mayall - a true loss.

I hope his gravestone reads:

"Aha, missed both my legs!"

The risotto/snow scene with Neil and Vivian was one of my faves from The Young Ones.

I love his one and only ever tweet

"Opening my very own Twitter to stop another bastard from doing it. So **** off & don't expect to hear from me any time soon. Love Rik x"

 

[Bigeasy]

Sad to hear but was never a fan of Rik or the Young Ones.
