麻豆约拍

The Story of Slapstick charts the history of the world's most popular comedy genre. Whether you're three or fifty three we all seem to love physical humour. It doesn't matter if they're slapped, banged or walloped, there's a simple glee in the misfortune of others. If you want pain, check out Bottom. The sadistic stars of this violent slapstick show are Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson. In Bottom they pushed the violence to the max. A character wouldn't just get hit by a frying pan; they might get hit with a frying pan, thrown through a wall, chucked down the stairs and set on fire. It was brutal, it was relentless, it was extreme and it was hugely popular.
