History Characters / Bottom

* Miles Gloriosus: Tells tall tales in the pub about his military service -- "walting" -- in the Falklands and uses "Argie" as a slur at random people.

* TheAlcoholic: He's a cheerfully violent dipsomaniac.
* AmbiguouslyBi: Although not as much as Richie, there is one moment where Richie is fantasizing about Ted Rogers (i.e. imagining what it would be like to marry him and what he would be like in bed) while Eddie can be seen next to him nodding, smiling and agreeing with him. There’s also the {{Noodle Incidents}} with UsefulNotes/TonyBlair and Creator/HarryBelafonte. In the second live show, [[BlatantLies it’s painfully obvious that his sex doll is called "Les Ferdinand" even though he denies it.]] And let's not even get into his relationship with Richie, which seems to rely very heavily on {{Ho Yay}}.

* BecomingTheMask: In "Flinger", he gets a little too into the role of "Edina", to the point of openly flirting with a barman.

* GenderBlenderName: His middle name is Elizabeth.

->Portrayed by: Lee Cornes

* SmallNameBigEgo: He's convinced he's better than everyone else, and on one occasion, he almost deluded himself into thinking he was "the new Messiah".

%%* AllMenArePerverts

* AmbiguousDisorder: He shows a hint of synaesthesia in the first live show, where he picks up a "disgusting smell", which he rounds down to Eddie saying "Sandi Toksvig".

* AnythingThatMoves: Such is Richie's desperation to have sex, that he seems ready to have sex with anyone willing, but is never successful. In the TV series, he really only displays interest in women with the occasional keenness towards men. However, in the live shows, he seems willing to do it even with Eddie on certain occasions.

* FailOSuckyname: In ''Guest House Paradiso'', his last name is "Twat", but he tells people it's pronounced "Thwaite".

%%* WithFriendsLikeThese: With Eddie

* AbhorrentAdmirer: Richie quickly becomes this to her.

%%* TheBully

A streaker who pesters the boys in "S'out"

* TeenyWeenie: Even smaller than Richie's apparently.

->Portrayed by: Julia Sawalha

* ADateWithRosiePalms: A chronic masturbator, Richie is often seen unzipping his trousers and reaching down into his pants whenever Eddie leaves the room.

%%Doesn't explain what the reaction is. * Berserk Button: The mere presence of Richie and Eddie is this for him.

* BerserkButton: The mere presence of Richie and Eddie is this for him.

* TheSociopath: The only thing that really makes him more stable than Richie is that he actually has friends, other than that he ticks pretty much all of the same boxes. One thing that does make him ''worse'' than Richie, however, is how he seemingly takes pleasure in causing pain to others such as in "Culture" where he looks completely content while smashing Richie's head with the fridge door, although this may be due to the fact that [[AssholeVictim it's Richie]]. He also says that he continued hitting the gas man with a frying in "Gas" "for fun".

* {{Jerkass}}: He generally doesn't seem like anyone, not even his own family members.

%%* {{Jerkass}}

* TeenieWeenie: According to Richie after their first encounter with him.

* MeaningfulName: There's a ''very'' good reason why he picked up the nickname "Skullcrusher", which Richie and Eddie find out the hard way after unwittingly trying to pay him off with his own forged cash.

* HatesTheirParent: is is obvious given how he talks about his deceased mother in ''Bottom's Up''.

CaptainOblivious: Both he and his "bird", they somehow remain fast asleep despite all the noise Richie and Eddie make while breaking into his flat and sabotaging his gas supply, he also fails to notice the presence of Richie despite pulling the bed covers off him after causing the bed to collapse.

* NoseyNeighbor: How he sees Richie and Eddie, he's not wrong, given how they react when they realise he has a "bird" in his flat.

* DestructoNookie: He ends up causing his bed to collapse as a result of the unintentional threesome with his girlfriend and Richie.
