Rik Mayall 1984 WOGAN Stand-up - AND INTERVIEW START!!

[TheGodParticle]

26, jeez, where the time goes...

[Jkloosterman]

That voice he's using for the comedy sounds like the basis of Stewey on "Family Guy"

[trinityj1]

@Jkloosterman Stewie was based on Rex Harrison. Possibly Rik used him a bit, too.

[heythisisBETH]

@MadOnMusic1 Erm, yeah they did, it's called the Bachelor Boys: The Young Ones...

[MadOnMusic1]

Rik Mayall is absolutely gorgeous here!

[srslycurious]

he would've made a fine mad hatter in alice in wonderland. imagine it. perfect right?

[Kbillyssupersounds87]

Rik Mayall should always stay young for other generations to enjoy.

[randomchild81]

He's a stunning man. He really is.

[misombra]

Laugh track? what



[zarathustra2k1]

The People's Poet is DEAD!

[oasisnengland]

@zarathustra2k1 how can rick be dead when we still have his poems?!!!!!!

[skpManiac]

he is one of the few legends, like Tommy Cooper, Eric Morecambe etc who can stand on a stage and make you piss without even opening their mouth - that is pure comedy genius!!

[joelandrews1]

"as a special treat i'm going to bring down the state tonight." i'm in tears

[randomchild81]

Comedy Genious. All he says is "hi" and the audience are laughin! I love this man, and he's performing as my favourite character of his as well, love it :')

[randomchild81]

@randomchild81 laughing*

[232him1]

i love the young ones!!!!!!

[BuddyFantastic]

Classic Mayall

[Ravenshard019]

Who would dislike this? Thats a bit harsh :/

[Ravenshard019]

I love how loads of people think hes got a great Stewie Griffin voice, cos its true :) My mom actually thought it was Riks voice at first haha.

[swetergrl91]

What accent is that?



[DIGIxPUNKx1996]

Terry Wogan's face... You can almost tell what he's thinking.

"Smile, laugh, try not to offend him but maintain your negative opinion on him."

Rick FTW!

[prokentsful]

Only found out who Rik Mayall was a few weeks ago and he's already my favourite comedian!

I watched the entire collection of Black Adder and didn't realise that he was in it, can't believe how stupid I was..

[DramaMajor713]

<3 I absolutely love him!!

[KurtMcGowan]

YOUNG ONES, THE GOON SHOW AND MONTY PYTHON FOR THE WIN!!!!!! x

[KurtMcGowan]

YOUNGS ONE AND PYTHON FOR THE WIN!!!!!! x

[ZippyFartsProduction]

Why did the other monkey fell out of the tree? Because Rick climbed up the tree and told it the joke which made it commit suicide!

[hellspawnds]

God I love that 80's decor, everything looked scifi back then!

[cmoz88]

OMG hahahha so funny xD

[savjak]

now i know where the inspiration for stewie griffin came from. XD

[TheEditingShop]

Wow, he doesn't look 26 here.

[RosesNightengales]

"Why did the monkey fall out of the tree?! because it was DEAD!" XD

[rah243]

It seems to be a universal truth; when a successful comedic actor speaks in their normal voice shortly after performing they always sound a) very intelligent (because nearly all the successful ones are) b) gorgeous

[Robotrock04]

He's gorgeous here. I'm 17 but I absolutely adore Rik and Ade

[PurpleMudkip]

All he has to do is just say his name....

Rik is so damn cute. ♥

[CriminalQueer]

I love the massive difference between his performance voice and speaking voice XD

[guitarbeast25]

He just IS drop dead fred xD I love him

[yoxx1]

wat do u say 2 a man with no arms or legs, have you got the time on you cock

[JanIsBoy5]

omg he is so young here :)

[chocolatcats]

god of comedians Love the man

[lingsoong]

damn, this is rik at 26, so amazing!

[mormonjoe]

Is that...it is!!!

IT'S THE MEGA BITCH!!!!

[ZeroGhostDog]

Aww!! He's so cute here I just wanna squeeze him! :) I've been on a Young Ones high recently (watched the entire series during the half term, loved it!) and one of my favourite characters has to be Rik (there's a few things we have in common!)

The monkey joke in this video is killer. I laughed so much when I first heard it, its the delivery XD Plus his voice is brilliant. I love it - so unique! By the way, for the record, I'm 17 - there are some teens out there who have good taste, still!

[ZombieManiac007]

Stewie Griffin sounds just like him =] !!!

[graybowe]

@ZombieManiac007

You are so right! Stewie's voice is a touch deeper though. That is so funny! I love Rik and Stewie!

[unconditionalmalice]

@ZombieManiac007 I know right. Imagine how much more bad ass a character Stewie would be if Rick Mayall voiced him.

[unconditionalmalice]

@unconditionalmalice Rik*



[TheBarryNoVa]

jonny rotten.

[QueenBlond]

[leef0324uk]

[dezedee1]

[PurpleFunnyChocolate]

That phrase has helped me through my teenage years.

"Kids have spots and kids are great".

[LittleFirecracker93]

I can't watch this, started wetting myself right from the start x'D

[Rikairiify]

Rik is so cute! >_<

[Rikairiify]

It's funny how in TYO Rik's character hates Thatcher while in The New Statesman, he worships her. lol

[bijou201]

Riiiiiiiiiiik Mayall - He's is so amazing, brilliant, what a legend!!!

[Harmalarmo]

"one of my fwends said that they other day...they said on the vroad with the whoo?" he has a weird accent

[localvandals]

Why did the monkey fall out of the tree?

BECAUSE IT WAS DEAD!

[Andybaby]

Weird to see him break character..

[Harmalarmo]

@Andybaby oh wow it really it is...

[funstaurz]

[halflife2forlife]

[fieldofhatsify]

THATCHER!!!

[lorien239]

[gardenofarcane]

[PurpleFunnyChocolate]

Look at those teeth.

[sess2k9]

@PurpleFunnyChocolate What about his teeth you stuck up twat?

[PurpleFunnyChocolate]

@sess2k9 That when he smiles I melt because they're so lovely? =) Do you assume that because I didn't use an exclamation mark I was bullying him? Of course not. HIs teeth are awesome.

[JackDaniels267]

Wick!! I love these guys. Pwetty nutty.

[ladyxine]

love him! Rik not Wogan

[dancingninjaboy]

he reminds me of hugh grant sort of wen in the interview lol

[MayallFan35]

[ursie1986]

Is it just me or does he look like Johnny Lee Miller.

[snake786123]

best comedian eva

[wickedfeylady]

He's soooo cute when he snorts!

[ThexoxDarkAngel1993x]

This man is God !!!!!

[1234brittle]

FUNNIEST MAN ON EARTH

[redbullhead]

"That's my glass of water you're drinking" I just ROFLCOPTERED.

[markdksc]

As an American, I have to say we need someone like him. Rick the Prick is a mother fucking king of comedy! British comedy is gold

then again, we had Chris Farley

[DJBusinessCake1]

hahahahaha quality

[1992esma]

I LOVE RIK :)

[madjamie16]

@1992esma

its because they both sound so smug and arrogant lol

[justinjmill]

He is awesome, and is it just me or does stewie from family guy sound like him?

[FEARsystem89]

@justinjmill I thought for a while Rik was the voice for Stewie! Very similar.

[GottaLoveRikMayall]

5:01 to 5:04 is actually adorable!! God I love Rik soo much :D He's beautiful, and a Legend.

[thesophster1231]

Rik is fantastic!! He was so young and he looked quite timid in the interview!! So sweet!!

[xxKCxx1213]

haha he id the funiest man in the world xx

[Jessmo198]

I LOVE RIK!

[chshmilu]

Fantastic Simply the best

[dialchemy]

Wow i never realised Steeve Coogan actually borrowed Wogan's old wig for Alan Partridge. Bring back Bottom i'll second that!

[ChazJayHeaton]

i LOVE him so much! i wish i was round to see him do stand up..or him do it again!! :D

[Angusismyhero]

This was the first time I heard him talk not in-character as anyone... his voice a lot different to how I'd expected it to be! He's so adorable though. I'd never laughed at a stand-up routine in my life before I found some of his stuff as Rick.

[brendonlover4ever]

@Angusismyhero he is in character

[Angusismyhero]

@brendonlover4ever Yeah, he is at first but his voice sounds pretty normal in the interview to me!

[121Swaleskid]

why did the monkey fall out of the tree?

because it was DEAD!

[Michelcamby]

see beter alexcamby

[Ugluk316]

Rik should have a shrine built in his honour, and desperately unfunny comedians (like Lenny Henry) should retire and devote their lives to its maintenance!

[omnipotentbeing]

best in 'Believe nothing" as Professor Adonis Cnut

[itsawestern]

UTTER HALARITY

[clashcityrocker2007]

I want my fuckign young ones DVD's back NOW!

[SANDRAKENNY33]

best in the business

BRING BACK BOTTOM X

[samuel588]

Rik Mayall is a legend

[shifa34]

drop dead fred

[sixshotmark]

Quality, Rik is briliant...Michael Mc Intyre etc have nothing on him.

[Jessmo198]

@sixshotmark I AGREE

[thesophster1231]

@sixshotmark so very true!! Rik could teach these new comedians how to be bloody funny!! Rik Is cool!!

[chocolatcats]

@sixshotmark I love Rik at all ages, but this one I LOVE ALOT..........BUT I DO LOVE HIM TODAY...

TWO FINGERS! HOW CUTE CAN HE BE  ASK VANESSA REDGRAVE!

[scallywag86]

i see a slight resemblance to John Lydon in him but Rik`s actually a nice guy

[ElectricEdgewave192]

my god rik mayall looks so young here

[billbarton63]

He was great on the Young Ones. One of the best British sitcoms ever.

[FRAZELMINTASTIC]

It is fantastic. Bottom is better in my opinion though. That IS the best ever.

[sararduran]

man i love drop dead fred!!!! lol

[XxPunknGlamxX]

Rick is so hilarous

[ciaracustard]

He was so cute when he was young.

[Boobear72]

he is soooo adorable love him!

[AceripXF]

omg at 5:04 he looked like freed aww omg how adorable lol

[AceripXF]

can u see alright in the back? well what are u doing wearing glasses then? LMAO!!

[stewux]

" As a special treat i'm going to bring down the state tonight...... "

" THATCHER!......that's about as far as i've got with it really..... "

Love it, this guy was and still is a legend. Get Horne and Corden shite off, and bring back the old guys!

[westham89]

you know what mate totally agree and lets be honest these new guys havent got a touch compared to the old guys like rik and ade or only fools and horses.

[gijsmelisse]

And it was my house! Brilliant

[truthseekerlee]

A living legend!

[elyurita]

I admire this man`s trayectory.

[RunningARampage]

Rik Mayall Was SUCH A cutie:D

[chocolatcats]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh not Carrot top...he's pathetic. He looks like Popeye whose eaten too many carrots because he looks orange! (skin from fake tans and that horrid hair) Rik is God. BRITAIN'S FINEST and will forever be. NO ONE supasses him, not Steve Martin or anyone. Dam I wish he was single

[chocolatcats]

I'll love this man until the day I die. NO AMERICAN has the gutts to be as silly as Rik is, except Steve Martin. But other than that, no one. Rik is Britain's best

[kingazzaman]

LOL yeah.... disaster can result when we Americans attempt to be this silly....

Gentlemen, I give you Carrot-top.

[dreamgirl1607]

the name carrot top sounds cute xx

[AceripXF]

AMEN TO THAT im american and i LOVE rik he's so great

[loveskuls11223344]

wheres the rest of the gang?

[PatDog11]

in my bum

[performingmonkey900]

Wogan was such an old fart even then, 25 years ago. He really made the interview a bit awkward by being all 'well it's for the younger generation'

[stewux]

I know, what was that all about! He kept banging on about it and wouldn't let it go. You can see that Rik is getting slightly annoyed by it.

As far as i'm concerned, Young ones DID have a " general appeal " so I don't know what Wogan's going on about, lazy interviewing really.

[macgnarly]

i love it when he drinks terry's water, lol and the cute smile at 5:39

[Corrupt5358]

Great comedian, I've watched his stuff on and off for the last 25+ yrs + that's the first time I've heard him speak normally!

[12many4you]

normally.

when?

[perker180]

Its not funny, stupid man.

[CircleofShit]

LMAO at 3:48

[ILuvDepp]

Fuckin Legend!!

I'm acctually watchin Drop Dead Fred now!!

Hes fuckin amazin XD

[CandelarioGaIvan]

One of the funniest people I have ever seen.

I have to comment that some of his jokes are funnier than what the crowd is giving him credit for.

I guess it translates differntly in Europe, cuase that about going to the pub is funny as hell. I am still laughing about it.

[lennonfan93]

has anyone seen Drop Dead Fred?

[abbyg77]

haha YES

it's brilliant :D

[xxxLauraxxxJeffxxx]

I've got it on dvd. Amazing :D

[xxemoforlife69xx]

yes its one of my most favorite movies ever!! :)

[Bloodsuckingcreep13]

fucking legend ^_^

[KevKev26]

i came THIS close to meeting him once and i missed out, i kick myself everyday for that because Rik Mayall is a legend, and not just because i think he is awesome, but just because he's so god damn funny!

[rubbishreferees]

i met him a couple of years ago at Milton Keynes theatre, during The New Statesman live tour... he came out, told his taxi to wait, and spent 20 mins chatting.

really friendly, a genuinly top man.

[dizzymisslizzylane]

I love Rik so much. I wish there was more interviews footage of him, as himself... if anyone knows any, feel free to harass me with it! ;D
