RIP Rik Mayall - Comedy Genius Dies at 56

Eudemon · June 9, 2014

Saw this just pop-up on twitter and can't believe it, loved watching him in the Young Ones, Bottom and he was brilliant in a film called Drop Dead Fred I think it was called. Absolutely stunned by this, what can you guys remember of him that made you no doubt cry with laughter? :nuts:

RIP Richards Richard. :crying:

Rest in peace, I didn't follow a lot of his work but recognise a him from a few places.

If you've never really heard of him check out some Bottom clips with him and Ade Edmondson. You'll literally ROFL.

The man a legend, even being my Avatar image for the past month or so! :(

I'll post what I posted on my FB:

Rick (With a silent P), Lord Flashheart (Woof!), Charles Bedford (The Bombardier, BANG-ON!) or just Rik.

Sad to hear that the comedy Legend Rik Mayall passed away today. One one the first comedian & actors I came to liking thanks to his role as 'Rick' in the Young ones & also being 'Lord Flashheart' in Blackadder and later trying the beer Bombardier due to him being in the adverts (The only time I can think of that I've tryed something thanks to advertising).

A true legend and will always be remembered!

I've picked out 3 videos from the roll's i remember him best from, some slight NFSW language in some of them:

Young ones...
