This scene is one of Bottom’s best. Rik Mayall goes from childlike excitement to bitter resentment, then horniness to naive confusion as Eddie explains his real present. See Ade Edmondson has to pause near the end to allow the audience reaction to subside after a brilliant gag.

No other actors commit themselves to stunts and fights like Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson, crashing through walls, windows and in this case in The Young Ones, a ceiling, and continuing their fight without losing a beat.
