Review of 's Up

Bottom: 's Up (1991)
Season 1, Episode 5
Hard to believe, but this was written by adults.

The funniest part of episode five of series one of Bottom is when Richie performs an Indian rain-dance and gets bird poo in his face instead of rain. Yes, that's the comedic highlight in this one, which doesn't say much for the rest of the show. The plot sees Richie and Eddie (Rik Mayall and Ade Edmonson) looking after the shop below their flat while the owner goes to his mother's funeral. The supposedly hilarious chaos that ensues includes Richie insulting several customers (including threatening an old lady with his fist) and becoming trapped on the roof with Eddie while the shop is looted.

The moronic humour on offer includes Eddie mistaking several family friendly videos for porn, Richie getting excited about visiting a nudist beach, and the guys insulting each other about the size of their posteriors. Trust me, the bird poo gag is the best part.
