Excellent British humour

Bottom is one of my favorite tv-series. It is a really funny show with over-the-top-violence and starring two men who just refuse to accept what they really are: losers. There is plenty of needless violence, weird-situations and laughable special-effects which makes Bottom a real cult-series. This series rocks and everyone who`d enjoy a different comedy-series should buy the series on video or catch the re-runs on tv. Magnificent!
