Bought all 3 series recently and I think it's time to celebrate just how brilliant it was. Hasn't aged in the slightest
Eddie: What was your Red Indian name then? "Running Mouth"? "Sitting Down"? "Talking b
ks"?
Richie: "Dances With The Wind".
Eddie: That'll be the curry again.
Eddie: It's like walking down the corridor and answering the door in Nazi Germany
Falklands vet: I don't believe a word of this. In fact, I don't believe it so much, I'm going to smash your face in.
Richie (on the phone). Hello get me the Prime Minister.......................because I want to blackmail him!.........Richard Richard. Oh st!
Eddie, I accidentally gave away my identity. You'll have to ring and use an assumed name.
Eddie: Yes I'd like to blackmail the Prime Minister please.................erm Richard Richard
Pawnbroker: Oh, there's a nice little piece of object d'art! Must be worth at least two an' a half grand... I'll give yer £1.50 for it!
Eddie: Uhh... let's haggle.
Pawnbroker: OK, a quid.
Eddie: No, let's haggle upwards.
Pawnbroker: OK, 50p!
Eddie: God, they don't call you Harry The bd for nothing, do they?
Pawnbroker: No. They call me Ted.
Richie: And what did you do during the [Falklands] war Spudgun?
Spudgun: Nothing really I was unemployed
Richie: Oh well that very convenient isn't it?
Spudgun: It was really, I only live round the corner from the dole office
(Eddie is dressed as the Grim Reaper to scare Richie)
Richie: What do you want?
Eddie: I'm Death
Richie: Oh sorry. I said WHAT DO YOU WANT!?
Richie: What's a suave sophisticated drink?
Waiter: Well that depends where you come from sir

Waiter: Half a mild
Plus the mentioned but never seen mates - Mad Ken Stalin, Dodgy Bob McMayday (the most violent travel agent in the world), Cannonball Taffy O'Jones, Suicide Ted McGloomy, Keith Mad Dog McFrenzy and Slip Digby. Oh, and the constant violence and fights

Great TV from what was a pretty good era.
"YES... WE'VE GOT A VIDEO" !!
{church bells ring on Sunday morning} enter Vyvian with a hangover... "SHUT UP YOU bdS" !!
"Daddy's got a Porsche"
"we sow the seeds, nature grows the seed, and we eat the seed"... with the inevitable violence later. "I've killed a hippy".
So many lines, so little room to post.

Two good comedies IMO.
Step daughters recently been introduced to Bottom. She's 10 years old.
There's something really quite wonderful hearing how much she likes the show. It really is timeless. Sadly the same can't quite be said about the Young Ones - which is still funny at points, but it was very much of its time.

The fight scenes were always the best. I remember seeing Bottom live 3 at the Oxford Apollo, Eddie kicked Richie in the nuts but actually made contact, Mayall was on the floor for almost 5 minutes with a mixture of sheer pain and hysterical laughter etched on his face.
Their phone number - "Hello" 444 4444
The nativity - All Gold, Frankenstein & Grrrr!
May I say - What a smashing blouse you have on!
Natasha: This is a very sexy room, I bet you've been naughty in here a few times.
Richie: Oh you're not wrong there. You name it - swearing, doodling on the walls. I've flicked the 'v's out of that window more times than I care to remember.
Natasha: And are you going to be naughty now?
Richie: [looking at his flies] Medically the chances are against it.

It was great stuff 
Woman: Which one of you is Mr Hitler
Eddie: That would be me.
Women: Ooh, any relation?
Eddie: Well... I've got a mother.
Women: No, no, I meant to Adolf Hitler.
Eddie: Yes that's her.
Richie: So Spudgun... why do they call you Spudgun?
Spudgun: Well, gimme a potato and I'll show you why.
Eddie: No, Richie. You don't want to see that.
Richie: Oh, well, why do they call you Hedgehog?
Dave Hedgehog: Gimme a hedgehog and I'll show you why.

Dave Hedgehog: Gimme a hedgehog and I'll show you why.
Eddie: Squashed potatoes?
Richie: Very possibly Eddie, I think I just sat down too fast.
Richie: Oh, there you are, right right right. Now, as I was saying, as
this is a special occasion, and we've invented a new cocktail for
ourselves -- Pernod, ouzo, marmalade and salt -- I think we should
think of a special name for it. What do you think?
Eddie:What about the, er, oh, the Bloody... Awful.
Richie: Oh come on Eddie, take it seriously...
Eddie:Oh, got it! The Esther Rantzen.
Richie: E-- why?
Eddie:Because it pulls your gums back over your teeth.
Richie: All right then, the Esther Rantzen it is. Cheers!
