Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Live shows

  • Anytime in the stage shows that Rik and Ade break out of character.

Richie: Oh Eddie! Think what we're missing, like a script
Eddie: Well, we're not missing a script; it's just that you can't fucking remember it!
Richie: Oh Eddie!
Eddie: And every time you can't remember it you go, Oh Eddie!
Richie: Oh Eddie, fuckin'... A-ha!
Eddie: He probably hasn't got the right one.
Richie: Oh fuck!

    • Best example is in Hooligan's Island when the Japanese WW 2 bunker is accidentally revealed in Act 1 rather than Act 2. Rik cracks up, and takes roughly about 5 minutes to recompose himself to a point where they can actually continue with the show.
      • "There was little mistake there, wasn't there? Did you spot it? Bastards."
    • The "sad and tragic news" scene in the first show is very much similar.
  • When a Frenchman appears on the beach in Live 3 Eddie says he left a 8 ft long kayak on the beach. Richie thinks he meant the Frenchman left a turd there.
  • There's also this scene from the second live show.
  • Eddie getting shat on by an albatross. Ade breaks character just to get his point across about how irritating the scene, and continues in a sarcastic tone.
  • Richie being revealed to be wearing a pair of y-fronts made from a pair of washing up gloves.

Eddie: What the fuck happened to you? It looks like you've fallen into one of Ronnie Corbett's condoms and a raspberry flavoured french tickler to boot.

Richie Eddie get downstairs immediately. I've got the sprouts.
Eddie Go and see a doctor.
Richie Eddie come and help me unload my vegetables.
Eddie I shall do no such thing you foul pervert.

  • Eddie enters a Special K competition.
  • This from the second live show:

Richie So here I am in the witness box spikey spikey huge dangling knob, everything's great.
Eddie Gonna get a stand in for that are you? normally they'd just have a body double but in your case it'd probably have to be a body treble wouldn't it? (Richie bows to Eddie in worship)

  • From the third live show:

Richie (after being hit on the knob with a poison dart) Eddie read that last bit again.
Eddie nnnd.
Richie no read more than that.
Eddie oh, snnnd
Richie Give it here, I'll do it myself. The. dart. is . poi. son. ed. oh fate! oh nemesis!

Series

  • The whole camping trip from 'Bottom's Out'
  • The outtake tape known as 'Fluff'

Richie: I think there's something outside.
Eddie: Well there's bound to be something outside. You cant expect the universe and it's entire contents to be constained well fuck bastard bollocky bums!
Richie: He couldn't do it in rehersals either.

  • Eddie drinking a full bottle of bleach and richie dragging him upstairs by the legs, on a rope, whilst sing his own version of the sailor's hornpipe. See the trivia page.
  • This quote, and the many others of its kind:

Eddie: Rightey dokey, matey-bloke-flap-old-salty-seadog-amigo-skip-jack-jockstrap-piano-tuner, let's see you balls this one up!

  • This word of advice:

Eddie: Always keep your mouth open when you're insulting a lady."

  • This masterpiece of innuendo from 'Bottom's Out' when Richie is fishing: Richie: "My grandfather was a trawlerman you know". Eddie: "Oh that's what they called them in those days was it?"
  • Sprouts Mexicain?
  • This montage of Double entendres from terror

Eddie: Nevermind all that. Hows your sausage!?
Richie: Oh you mean my sausage not my penis? Well it's a complete disaster. I mean you put it the pan you set fire to it and it gets incinerated.
Eddie Well mabye we should eat our flakes (holds up a pack of corn flakes)
Richie Oh right I'm getting Double Entendre disease.
Eddie Can I drink your Juice?
Richie (looks disgusted) Oh right okay I'm going mad this this morning.
Eddie Someone's giving our knocker a damn good banging.
Richie Right I'll grab my sausage and give a good seeing to.

  • The chess game from 'Culture'.
  • During the episode 'Hole', Eddie and Richie get trapped on a ferris wheel scheduled for demolition. After praying to God for rescue, a giant hand comes down to carry them to safety, only for Eddie to spoil the moment with a hilarious disclaimer.

Eddie: Hang on, Rich. Although we and indeed the whole BBC respect people's rights to believe in whatever they wish, [to the camera] because we don't want to get in the shit on this one, [back to Richie] we don't actually believe in God, do we?
Richie: Tch, no.
Both: Shit! {{[[[Puff of Logic]] hand disappears}}]
