Bottom
Bottom is een van die zeldzame series waarmee de VPRO plotseling ongekend hoge kijkcijfers scoorde. Begrijpelijk, want Bottom biedt bizarre humor van de bovenste plank. Richie is een aardige jongen, maar dan wel op zijn eigen onsmakelijke, gruwelijk gladde en slijmerige manier. Eddie is het type dat je liever niet in het donker tegenkomt. Samen boeren, vloeken en raggen ze zich door rampspoed en verveling, in een orgie van vernietigingsdrang. In elke aflevering ontketenen ze een ware wervelstorm van slapstick, grappen en geweld. Deze woestelingen van de comedy schieten scheldwoorden af als kogels en benaderen iedere explosieve situatie met de subtiliteit van een hoge snelheidstrein.
Desperate to attract some ladies, Richie and Eddie buy experimental pheromone spray promised to make them irresistible.
Richie and Eddie are visited by a man from the Gas board. Afraid that their pipeline from next door is about to be rumbled they desperately try to cover their tracks. Murder, cannibalism and bus surfing are possible solutions.
Eddie comes home from a very bad day at work and Richie finds Eddie is not paying the rent and has only got £11.80 which he has spent on a adult magazine. But Richie finds Eddie has put on a bet on the Miss World contest on TV.
Richie receives an omen that he will be dead within a week, but surely it has to be a hoax? Richie isn't taking any chances, and Eddie has to play along.
Richie and Eddie are promised cash-in-hand to watch their landlord's shop for one afternoon, and battle disgruntled customers, robbers, and their own boredom.
It's Richie's birthday and he wants the most perfect day ever. Nothing is possibly going to get in his way, except for a lack of presents, a leg break, and the worlds worst game of hide and seek.
