'Bottom' was I think (?) the third outing for the Mayall - Edmondson Richie - Eddie double act respectively. The previous vehicles being the Young ones and Filthy, Rich and Catflap (both also great!). I grew up on alternative 80's comedy and by the time the duo got to 'Bottom' (i.e. in the 90's) they both knew what the audience wanted. Principally, lots of smutty innuendo and slapstick humour to accompany the pairs attempts to raise themselves from the grime and poverty of their bare existence.
Don't let that put you off, the crude, obvious 'nob' gags and slapstick violence make this evolved, archetypical 80 / 90's humour light relief from all the 'PC' stuff that abounds today.
