Context YMMV / Bottom

Go To


1	* CrossesTheLineTwice: Well, it's more like they use the line as a skip rope.
2	* FridgeLogic: When Eddie and Richie catch a burglar they sellotape him to a chair since the have no rope, However when the plan backfires they are tied to chairs with rope.
3	** The burglars probably brought it into the flat with them.
4	* GeniusBonus: If you know your random mountain gorilla facts [[note]] namely that the average mountain gorilla penis reaches a max of around 6 cm when erect[[/note]], you'll also realize that the clinic Richie went to in Culture in fact didn't scam him.
5	* HarsherInHindsight:
6	** The first ''Bottom Live'' show, which is about Eddie trying to kill off Richie for his inheritance money, features a touching last minute goodbye between the two, which is way less funny since the sudden tragic death of Creator/RikMayall.
7	** In "[[Recap/BottomContest Contest"]], Richie comments on Eddie being a fussy eater as "it's like living with Lena Zavaroni". A few years later, Zavaroni died of an anorexia related illness.
8	** The second to last scene in "[[Recap/BottomDigger Digger]]" in which Richie has what looks like a heart attack (it's actually his kidneys and bladder failing on him) is a lot less funny when you remember how Creator/RikMayall died...
9	** Along those lines, Richie sarcastically calling Eddie's humour "heart-stoppingly funny" in "[[Recap/BottomContest Dough]]", complete with hand gesture.
10	* HilariousInHindsight:
11	** Twenty years after playing Eddie Hitler, [[Creator/AdrianEdmondson Ade Edmondson]] played an officer in the very fascistic First Order in ''Film/TheLastJedi''.
12	** Eddie's full name is stated to be "Eddie Elizabeth Hitler." In ''Theatre/TheProducers'', the said dictator is said to be named "Adolf Elizabeth Hitler."
13	* HollywoodHomely: PrettyBoy Creator/RikMayall as the sexually repellant Richie Richard. Every now and then he forgets to pull a face, and wrecks the illusion that Richie is ugly.
14	* JerkassWoobie: Sometimes, it's possible to feel just a teeny bit sorry for Richie, given how deeply lonely and pathetic he is. And then (usually seconds later) he reminds you of what an utterly horrible human being he is. The sympathy doesn't last long.
15	* LesYay: Subverted when Eddie attempts to [[CasanovaWannabe pull a bird]] whilst disguised as "that bird from the abattoir who looks like Ted Rodgers".
16	* MemeticMutation: "BECAUSE IT'S CHRISTMAS!"
17	* PortmanteauCoupleName: Edchie or Reddie for Richie/Eddie.
18	* RetroactiveRecognition: The fortune teller from "Apocalypse" is played by Creator/LizSmith, who would later be best known for playing Mrs. Cropley in ''Series/TheVicarOfDibley'' and Nana in ''Series/TheRoyleFamily''.
19	* SpiritualAdaptation: It's currently the closest thing there is to an adaptation of Creator/RoaldDahl's ''Literature/TheTwits''.
