Another extra from the R1 Young Ones boxset. He performs the Poetry gag (different venue) and portrays an early rendition of the Rick character, naturally!
first time i saw family guy i tought *holly mollesting priest its rik mayall*...but i was wrong so terribly wrong...may god have mercy on our souls..a cha cha cha
I actually never liked him that much, probably because of his anti-European pro-Tory stances I couldn't really stand, moreover after his impersonation of mr. Alan B'stard, it made me think he was backing what he was satirising, and I couldn't stand it... I had never really liked him that much also because he was always shouting like that, it was too much for me, really. After all this wee rant of mine, R.I.P. Rik Mayall, whoever you were, you were entirely entitled to be that way. :-(
I know, I know I'll sound completely out of tune commenting Rik Mayall's death, he's always been adored by the many, he's now on his way to become a myth, an untouchable 'holy figure', but I think this is exactly what he didn't want US to be... if ever there was one thing he taught me as a kid, that was being CRITICAL. I'll never treat him as an untouchable 'holy figure', and since there were things I didn't appreciate about him, I'll keep having my say on that. All the rest is just due celebration to an (apparently) free man.
Good question. It makes me think quite a lot about myself. This is what I've come up with: there must be some kind of 'masochism' inside of me, in fact when I know there's something I don't like I often get back to it and get that strange feeling of curiosity, as if I needed to review my opinions all the time. That's what I suppose I'm doing.
Not a single dislike, as it should be.
He was brilliant..... God Bless
He was pretty handsome young man!! RIP Rik
Hes 54 now but still EPIC
So he was the peoples poet after all. Lol.
Rest in peace, Wik!
Funny + handsome= perfection❤️
When you can make an American laugh with your British comedy ...you know you have true talent. Rest in peace Rik
Truly sad to learn that such a great comedian has passed on. RIP to The People's Poet!
But how can he be dead when we still have his poems?
I would reply with the proper follow-up, but it'd involve shitting myself, and I'm afraid my admiration of Rik only goes so far...
Comic genius of the highest order.
what a strange and wonderful man.
23 years old
amazing
who are the 5 dislikes on this video? show yourselves.
rik was so lovable
I had such a crush on him.
This is my happy place. My favourite sketch of all time.
I love this of Rik! Rip you beautiful man! Will always love and remember you! An inspiration and a role model to everyone
Rip
People's poet
HE LOOKS SO YOUNG HE'S PRACTICALLY A FOETUS OMG...
Ian Curtis
Both goodlooking young men with talent - but beside that they sadly didn't have the same ( optimistic funny, lifeloving / Rik) mood in common!❤❤
So funny, so gifted.
I wonder what Vanessa Redgrave has to say about this.
But I don't! That's the problem!
RIP Rik Mayall going to miss you so much :-( :-(
Saw him at the comedy club way back .. “ when I take my spear to the theatre “....
Love you Rik
I watched him do this in the Tramshed Deptford in the early 80s and we were all on the floor laughing, absolutely hysterical. Truly a sad loss.
Simply Brilliant.
Who'd have known from here, he'd be so successful - RIP Rik, a true legend!
@LewisAndRichard 13 years before I was born, but Rik Mayall is definitely my favourite comedian of all time.
Haha the great man rip
Why wasn't I alive in the 80's =[
THANK YOU AND GOOD NIGHT WIK.XX
Love
I've loved Rik Myall ever since I first saw Drop Dead Fred.... so basically about three days.
No he spells it with a silent p
Check out riks mayalls last movie one by one
The 'up until midnight, eating biscuits' bit is so funny to me
Can't believe it's been 10 years since we lost him.
He got a LOT of mileage out of that character.

If you don't like him why are you watching his stand up?

Rik was never a Tory supporter.
