  • So Rik is technically a zombie. I call all my friends that have been dead zombies, especially my mate Rob.

    Come to think of it - I have a surprising amount of undead friends.

  • Wow, I didn't know the bit about the blood disappearing mysteriously. Maybe love and fear of losing his kids, them being fatherless, and saying goodbye forced his body to recover. Amazing story.

    I don't know the guy personally but I do know he's seriously changed ever since his accident. He's softer and more in touch with his feminine side from what I've seen/read. Maybe it happened for a reason.

    I'm glad for him and all his kids that something good came out of such a horrible accident. :)

  • Doesn't Nick Owen walk in a camp way.

  • Richard Richard has KIDS?!

  • @YametePlease He's also Alan B'Stard to, so that'd be no surprise :-D

  • @YametePlease I think he had his first child while he was recording The Young Ones but he left the mother at the same time. Not sure of my facts cos I've not double-checked them. If it's true and he was pretty horrible about the whole family thing when he was younger and his accident made him a more caring father then good came out of it. It has changed him for sure.

  • A beautiful example of the power of your mind over your body. Always remember that positive thoughts produce positive results.

  • @ColtraneTaylor The "z" is not required.

  • The reason you didn't die Rik is because you're an absolute fucking legend!!.

  • @BigWilki123321 GREAT COMMENT !! Rik is the main man

  • Bad news makes me feel good to be British!

  • rik is too funny, modest

  • a modest man? I love Rik!

  • "they scared the blood out of my head"

  • Minky musky sky old stoaty stoaty stoat

  • Good to see Rik Mayall in good health. I wish he was my dad.

  • See the dude's face face? It was like "Don't joke about Jebus, twat! Next question!".

  • i love rik mayall

  • nice house! Life's tough when you're slumming it!

  • You can never understate the impact Rik Mayall has had on comedy over the past 30 years. In that time, no one better.

  • @DurhamGooner But he's still underrated!

  • I think Rik lost a bit of sharpness with his accident, I have to salute him for getting through this with humour and humility.

  • I'm glad he got through it ok, hes one of my favorite comedians.

  • @WhiteShadow230 rik is very funny and random, better than any american with their tired jewish irish italian shite!

  • @ColtraneTaylor

    Well you're hardly going to see the best of any nationality reading youtube comments. Grow up.

  • @genuinelyaperson oh fuck off, you twat.

  • @Aptitude No, I'm not a tiny penised Brit overjoyed at every little triumph.

  • @ColtraneTaylor I'm not even British...

    So everything you just said doesn't apply to me.

  • My Aunt used to work with Nick Owen at TV-am. I remember her saying he was an odious little creep...lol

  • @prokentsful haha im american and i dont think any of our comedians are funny.. i loved rick in drop dead fred omg!!

  • @colorheartedgirl have you seen "the young ones" or "bottom"? they both have Rick in them :D!

  • @charlieallen29 nope have to check them out!

  • @colorheartedgirl yeah, if you like rik mayall then hopefully you'll like them:) x

  • @charlieallen29 cool thanks lol i wish rik would live forever lol

  • @colorheartedgirl omg, same, he's one of the most amazing people alive (in my opinion) be amazing if he did live forever, but that'll be impossible unfortunatly :\

  • @rootdinreality He's a wanker.

  • @o8QWERTYo8 No.

  • @prokentsful It will have been gormless, uneducated, bible~belting Americans.

    Guaranteed.

  • He looks like a cross between Trey Parker and Mark Harmon.

  • The way that Rik puts it is that he saved his daughter's and his niece's life as well. Awww, ever the gentleman!

  • poor guy is on medication for life now

  • One word, Legend.

  • type in "ski crashes" in the youtube search and click the video with stars in the title to be shocked!

  • @hirschterttu What does that have to do with anything that is happening in this video? Ridiculous.

  • Typical of Rik to turn something like this into an egotistical victory. Brilliant guy and so pleased he pulled through the accident.

  • He was technically dead during the time he starred in Jesus Christ Superstar 2000 - the worst production of any musical, ever.

  • @BarryDennen12 I always thought he was quite good in that. The rest of it was really shit, though.

  • Ha, well put. He certainly wasn't the worst part of it..

  • God bless him

  • He sounds really lovely.

  • that was derriford hospital in plymouth i was workin there as a porter wen he was there didnt meet him tho

  • Who doesn't love Rik?

  • @dustdogbar the 7 people who hate this video.

  • bless him...a proper comedy genius & nice bloke

  • I was not aware Rik Mayall was in an accident and got epilepsy because of it , hope he is doing okay though .

  • Even God likes Rik ;)

  • "Lord knows I'm a modest man, but I beat Jesus by two days"

  • @Zeggawong I love the cut after that... Something weird happened. Dude didn't think it was funny.

  • The man is a comic genius

  • Shame that Rik's got epilepsy now because of that. :( Lucky, lucky man.

  • Love Rik Mayall...Always have, always will. One of the greatest comedy actors to grace England.

  • Rik Mayall can turn a crap script into silver and a decent one to gold! Thanks for all the entertainment Rik...

  • @samsungdog Well said Sir!

  • wow if he died i would die! lucky lucky Rik ecspecialy after bottom and the young ones ect. awsome! its wierd how Ade looks the same and Rik ages wierdly.

  • When he says 'what can you do' at the end of that, he sounds like a mafia don.

  • @Restayvien really.

  • @caturn88

    yes

  • @Restayvien Lol...totally!

  • @scube69 You know Mayal would have the fuck out of you for your hobo street talk shit

  • "lord knows, i'm an honest man, but i've beaten jesus by two days"... Rik is a legend!

  • I would be horrified if Rik died

  • LOVE him to pieces- Got a bit of a crush on him actually. What a LEGEND.

  • @Rachiejane1 Oh my god... ive always fancied him! Hes sexy as hell hahaha! Something about him. I would love to meet him he seems like such a pleasant and lovely guy!

  • @CotardDelusion Im a lad but I hafta ask is he really that attractive?? I would have thought after bottom that girls would find him mental haha!!

  • @SlankTV Gorgeous!

  • Has Rik Mayall ever considered playing in the World series of poker main event?

  • Legend.

  • Delighted is the wrong word - but it's all I can think of to say that I'm delighted Rik came through. The truth is that Rik's remembered for his early stuff like the Young Ones and Lord Flasheart and to some extent typecast in that way. He has consistently made me laugh the hardest, the longest and indeed for the longest. - I was 8 when the Young Ones started. From Kevin Turvey to "Wwwrik" to Alan B'Stard to Richard Richard to Alan Sellers (4 men in a car) - let's hope he's around for ages

  • Glad he made it out in one peice! Such a waste of good talent to waste. My idol!

  • Glad he did not die, He's very talented

  • god knows i'm a modest man, but... i beat jesus by two days xD im so glad he made it through that accident.

  • aww what a great man! Fuckin legend Mr Rik Mayal, generations of original comedy material!

  • I love this man... he's the funniest thing we've had since Kenny Everett and Mike Yarwood... not to mention Dick Emery and Stanley Baxter!!!!

  • HE GOT SERIOUS... and then at the end, he just went back to being normal Rik...

  • He's The Rik...

  • nick owen has to be the most retarded boring cunt ever lived. he should have been shot years ago. he is a nasty little cunt, boring gobshite how he got on tv god knows. he is fucking shite

  • will always love rik<3 loved him since i was 4 years oldXD although i shudnt have been watching bottom back then but shhhhhh XD

  • i wanna go quad biking with rik mayall and ozzy osbourne.

  • A living legend, that we almost lost!

  • what a lovely man. Id marry him 2 morrow!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @tallyshanahan1 So would I and i'm not a big girlie!!!!

  • Rik Mayall "I beat Jesus by two days"

  • Rik for prime minister! Ade for deputy!

  • wow he died easter thursday and came back mondy lol rik is JESUS!

  • I had no idea about this o_O

  • I'm a dyed-in-the-wool biker. I ride 12/1300cc bikes most days. But I would never trust a Quad. Those things have a tendency (mainly due to their short wheelbase) to ground-loop. Which means they'll come right down on top of you. Bad on every count. Check out youtube vids on the things, and you'll see what I'm talking about. They're OK to pull trailers and such, but don't try anything cute on them. They'll get you every time.

  • @bigkitten I didn't know that i assumed they were safer cause of the four wheels, well no one in my family is gettin one now.

  • @dustdogbar Just watch vids on you tube etc. They invariably fall upon the rider. They're OK for towing small trailers etc, but fast riding? Count me out.

  • He has got the most mischevious face on the planet!! I fuckin love him and the rest of that crew. Right from the Comic Strip onwards.

  • Rik for prime minister

  • @LionheartNh Seconded!

  • He's so lucky. Love him to bits!

  • He is the only man who could make the sentence 'I was technically dead fo five days' funny.

  • greatest man on earth

    'nuff said

  • hahaa classic at 1:39 this programme so well edited that when Rick said the doctor waited for blood to drain out ..we then see an outside shot through the window of Nick Owens smiling*..so nick likes blood drain? haha. Producer to programme says before the show" Ok can we edit this becuase people dont wanna listen to anything serious ..we need lighthearted chat..ok ok so he had a serious accident..well but lets have nicks exorcistic smile through the window..thatl make the show"

  • with what he sed about the blood in his skull seems like a fuckin miracle, an im glad coz rik mayall isnt the type of guy who iz ready to die yet.

  • WE NEED MORE BOTTOM!

  • so he didnt have the top of his skull opened? 

  • Wonder if he chats to Ozzie about quading these days?

  • @LabRat6619 lol..nice!

  • Alan B"stard for Prime Minister Cameron out

  • @resilienceman He is the new Statesman :)

  • Camden, some people don't, yet. That was Rik bashing the silly idea of Something Christ rising like a zombie. All horror stories or evil necromancy if you ask me.

  • The thing he doesnt state in this but was very funny and pure rik was when he woke up from being "dead" for 5 days his first words were to the dostor and he said "so your the bastard who's been sticking needles in me" :o)

  • Right, that's it, get out of my house!

    I beg your pardon?

    You heard.

    No I didn't.

    Well I'm not saying something like that twice, young man!

    Well I can't do anything about it then, can I?

  • @hoffmachine Great quote man....What a programme!!

    Charity Begins at home...Yep, an thats where it ends in our house!!!

  • @jam5bryce

    Ah, but Rik is real.

  • @yubarraboo And doing a joke.

  • @yubarraboo lmao!!

  • @jam5bryce hes a comedian ever thought could be a joke , hes kept his humour even after that for godsake

  • @jam5bryce You do realise that Jesus is made up, right?

  • @jam5bryce But Jesus never did come back because he was only human. It must have been Drop Dead Jesus that the people saw.

  • @jam5bryce Check out the title of his autobiography then!

  • This guy is amazing! UK comedy legend! Also notice he has hyperhidrosis too lol, noticed taht when I watched back bottom, the sweaty git, hopefully rik writes some new material cos would love to see him make an arse out of some of the guff about at the moment.

  • what a lacklustre interviewer Nick Owen is. Rik is telling the most fascinating story of his near death experience and Nick just sits there as stony as a Easter Island head. Totally Rubbish Alan Partridge-esque opening sequence as well.

  • As hilarious and manic as he is, he seems like a genuinely nice person. :)

  • lmao at nicks stone cold reaction to rik being quicker than jesus

  • we love you Rik

  • i now call the thursday before good friday crap thursday :D he's so awesome (:

    he signed my friends birthday card! he's so god damn sweet!!!!

  • Thank God Rik your still here to entertain us the audience..by the way, I hope Rik and Ade bring Bottom back.

  • Rik WOOOHHOOOOO I am so happy he didnt die and his kids kept their dad and stuff, and he is amazingly funny :)

  • I was accidently a Flatliner myself and got along with it! Still alive and rockin´

  • Crap he was lucky

  • Sadly one of my old teachers died of a brain hemmorage recently. she wasn't as lucky as good ol rik :(.....

  • "Lord knows I'm an honest man... but I beat Jesus by two days." hahahahaha

  • Yeah Rik Mayall has always been funny. I've seen him in

    other things besides the Young Ones, no, not just Drop Dead Fred. :D Wow i'm so glad his kids got their dad back and Wow, how the heck? Amazing!

    the Young Ones are great. Up there with French and Saunders. Cheers Mr. Mayall!!!

  • aaah, i love 'im ;)

  • Richie: where did the blood go?

    Eddie: *hic*

    .....probably

  • @Phavonic LOL nice one!

  • @Phavonic Richie: Thats just f'ing marvelous!!

  • @Phavonic

    well edward gets £100 a pint for his since its 90% proof

  • @Phavonic lol i think he would find that funny...

  • Could anyone please tell me who that bust is of at 1:44?

  • @Jill946

    Shelley?

  • he's just the best...they dont get any better

  • great character and lucky man. well done rik.

  • "I mean i beat jesus by two days"

    he is amazing.

  • he actually turned out quite hansom after his meany joung face... yet another example of men aging beatifully

  • i love this man hes been a huge part of my child hood and my teenage years maybe i shudnt have but i start watching bottom in 1995 when i was 4 and always loved it even now i still put it on every now and then he has to be one of my favourite ppl in the world

  • the young ones was funnier than bottom, and the best I think is his show where he plays Professor Adonis Cnut in 'Believe Nothing'

  • Fast becoming an official National Treasure is Rik

  • @OhLookItsMauve

    He isn't one already?.......Well, I think he's in the hearts of enough people to be one for England. My whole family love him and all his TV shows, especially Bottom.

    He shall not be forgotten

  • Nice. Nice talk about the man.

  • God Bless Rik Mayall and thank the good Lord he is still alive to enjoy his life and time with his family & friends. God was looking out for him.

  • i'm with you, he was just lucky. ugh fucking jesus freaks and their petty cult about an invisible man

  • Those things are so dangerous. I had a friend almost decapitated when he drove into a low hanging telephone wire that crushed his larynx and killed him. Another friend was driving drunk on one and it ended up on top of him knocking him unconscious. Ozzy Osbourne almost died on one also.

  • wot a guy, seen him live god knows how many times,hes pulled me through some really shit times,britains finest lol

  • rik is a fukin legend. :_)

  • Been a massive fan of Rik's since Is old when The Young Ones was originaly aired, so I'd have been pretty gutted to say the least!

    Never heard him talking normally until seeing this but can still see he's a true legend off aswell as on screen!

  • The fact that Rik pulled through, gives me faith that there is some justice in the world after all.

    If he had died, I'd have been campaigning to parliament for a state funeral. Whenever I've had a bad time of it, or a shit day at work or whatever, nothing pulls you out of it like a classic bit of Rik and Ade! Love them to bits!

  • I so know what u mean, I can completely relate. Those two, especially in Bottom, always raise my spirits.

  • He beat Jesus by 2 days. Ive heard people that could smell color I wonder if they smelt the same smells flavorings that is on colored jelly beans.

  • @erasmus2012 Quick! To the Jelly Belly factory! You bring the empty stomach, i'll bring the good ol' cricket bat!

  • poor Rik. :-(

  • Hahaha crap Thursday. Brilliantly English, glad he lived to tell us about it.

  • love the little eye brow lift at the end

  • im surprised how upset this made me im a huge fan of rick and ade have been since school and i know about his accident but seeing him talk about it brought it out i hope they keep their comedy going till after im gone and seeing as how their shows always seem to be full people agree with me
