Both wrong. Vic and bob even nicked the breaking into the neighbours through a hole in the wall bit off bottom.

That goes back to the 30s.
But either way, the difference is this was funny and Bottom wasn't.

Bottom was never funny. At least the young ones was funny at the time.

I want to watch this, cos I generally like Vic and Bob. Nothing wrong with puerile comedy, but not for everyone, obvs.

Was Bottom proletarian or Oxbridge silliness?

Must be in the delivery, then, because I hated Bottom.

Watched this last night. It was ace! It's been a while since I laughed so much at a TV program.
As other's have said it had similarities to Bottom with the physical comedy. I was also a big fan of bottom - but only after watching it several years after its first airing.

What have you divined from it so far?

That some people are scared of proletarian silliness.

i think comedy is more complex than the usual hit-it-with-a-class-hammer and all will be revealed analysis.
When it comes to scatological humour Viz do it best, and almost always get a laugh from me. But that doesnt mean all scatty jokes are funny
Can't stand Bottom, but love Young Ones.
Some episodes of Shooting Stars were pure genius whilst others where uncomfortably off-key.
Some of the gags in this show just felt cheap, some felt inspired.

Viz is the classic example of proletarian silliness.

Googled him. He was the guy with the microwave. I don't recognise him from anything.

He was the boss in the IT Crowd after Chris Morris. That's the only place I've seen him.

Watched that with my mum over Christmas. It was a rare thing that we could both enjoy, despite the 'unnecessary bad language' that my mum pretended not to like.

I have only seen one episode of that. He wasn't in the one I saw. I liked it, but it was just something I never came across in the schedules. Maybe it was on a channel I don't think of watching, further down the menu.
I note from Wiki he was in the Mighty Boosh. I hated that. Utter garbage.
The ballsack thing could have been taken straight out of Bottom.
It wasn't the silliness I didn't like. I like silliness. It was the awkward acting and obvious jokes.

Vic and Bob are funnier than two posh actors though
