The People's Poet

Today one of the greatest comedians died. Rik Mayall was one of the most important comedians to me, I saw the Young Ones when I was 5 and shortly after Drop Dead Fred, which I watched every night for a year. His physical comedy and illusions of grandeur were uncanny and in his field he truly was, as he claimed, "Bigger than Hitler, Better than Christ". Rest in Peace Rik.

Bottom.

Drop Dead Fred.

The Young Ones.

Stand up.

Blackadder.
