Customer Reviews

Unusually dangerous, I trust you'll agree...
I remember these from the 80's, although I must have missed some (and the Kinky Sex episode was definitely new to me as it was apparently banned at the time!), and the good news is that they are as funny as they ever were. When this arrived from Amazon a couple of days ago I couldn't wait to put it on, and soon after my wife came in to ask what I was cackling so loudly about! Brilliant - if you like mindless comedy violence and low-life perves, which if you're a fan of Rik and Ade you must!

While there are hints of The Young Ones, and it's certainly not a million miles away from Bottom, the closest similarity is their Comic Strip Presents masterpiece "Mr Jolly Lives Next Door", which involves much the same drunken violence - the Dangerous Brothers episode Babysitting reminded me a lot of Mr Jolly, especially the gin consumption.

If you remember these from the first time around, the DVD is highly recommended as the sketches still stand up very well (ooh er missus). Amd if you don't, but you know and like Rik and Ade's other work then this is not to be missed. If, on the other hand, you are a person who values taste and decency, and has no wish to see anyone sticking dynamite down their trousers, avoid like the plague. Unusually dangerous, I trust you'll agree.

Must have Rik and Ade
"Get a doctor! I've gone to far this time!" - This is must have Rik and Ade doing what they do best - slapstick and innuendo, there is subtlety too within the caricatures. Arguably two of the funniest British comics of all time caught in minor segments hurting each other. Ade actually gets set alight - singes his eyebrows and has to cut the scene "Can you spot what went wrong?" he says after the towering inferno enactment. Rik is also at his best - "tooorrrrchhhhaaaa"! - to wit Ade says "I will NOT talk" but not for long..... if you liked them in Bottom and Filthy Rich and Catflap this is another must have. "This really IS dangervision!"

Dangervision...Great fun!
LOVED The Dangerous Bros.-Dangervision. Subtitles would've been helpful for this U.S.A. viewer as they speak fast. I hope Amazon offers more of The Dangerous Bros. if more exists. One question though...Why was the skit "Kinky Sex" banned back when it was broadcast? Didn't seem like it needed to be banned...I found it quite funny....A must buy.
