Only an episode of the Young Ones will you see a Molotov cocktail destroying half the house, a talking toilet, Madness playing in the street and Neil's parents chatting to an escaped criminal madman. Classic TV, sadly never again.
30+ years later and I still find ‘The Young Ones’ bloody funny !!! It was the exact time I was going to university so the stereotypes were really poignant !! .....RIP Rick Mayall. A very clever and funny man who brought us lots of humour and laughs with friends!!.
"I hope Mike's back soon with the cure" "No Neil it's Madness this week". Brilliant. The bands in the chats theses days have shit names so you couldn't make a joke of this caliber. The bit with Vyvvan's mother from 16:01 - 16:03 was sampled for the end of Lawnmower Deth's song Drunk In Charge Of An Ugly Face.
Did he write "sinister" though? He wrote "subliminal", defined as: "existing or functioning below the threshold of consciousness" If he'd written, "The writers clearly wanted to instruct you to be a pacifist Francophile" you'd have an argument.
There was to be an American remake with Nigel the only original cast member involved. Luckily for him, and me, and life as we know it, it fell through.
British Comedy UK - absolutely!! Im from US and loved this show when i was a kid in the early 80's. It use to come on Saturday nights at 11, followed by Dr.Who. tv sucks now.

Has anyone found the "Fifth Roommate" in these episodes? In most of the episodes, there was a fifth room mate, a woman with long hair whose face is never shown (like the girl from the ring, or cousin It from the Adams Family.) She's in the background and has no dialog, easy to miss.
The Recalcitrant Misanthrope It was the Young Ones taking the mickey out of the talk of subliminal advertising. Back in the 1980s, many were concerned that subliminal messages featured in telly programmes, so they did their own parody of subliminal messages.
"Cor! What a nasty woman!" *shoots ceiling* Brian Damage was the best character Alexi Sayle played. And that flash of a white job when Neil introduces him to his parents...
Rick Mayall is great,this,Bottom,The new Statesman.What else has he done.Kevin Turvy and that movie where he's imaginary friend of a little boy,can't think of anything else
32:30 Talk about non sequitur and lack of continuity what happened to Neil coming in 3s all of a sudden we had to see fucking "nice Time" with Neil's Parents and Brain Damage or whatever the fuck Alexi Sayle called himself. I bet the lack of continuity was written by Ricks girlfriend and not Ben Elton.
Even comedies have continuity this is just disgraceful form of adhd writing i mean are we not to take that hitman seriously as if he would forget about his holding them to ransom and replace it to be a slave to clean up the place for some hippies parents he was about to kill minutes before. & then at the end the 3 zombie Neil's quickly finished that plot and onto a show hosted by neils fucking parents again and the hitman the whole thing was fucking ridiculous and didnt even make sense for a comedy. At least Bottom had continuity and they got their shit together by that time but here it was written by Ricks girlfriend full of plotholes which never made sense.

"I hope Mike hurries back with The Cure."
"No Neil...Neil...it's Madness this week."

Ah well Shane,there are always repeats

Excellent show but when you go to college or university and meet your first rik its even funnier the peoples poet is dead!
"it's funny, but being ill makes me lose my usually tolerant and easy going approach to communal living"
I love how Madness is just randomly playing "Our House" outside… then they get caught up in the street riot.
It's exactly that kind of communal street life that the high-rise blocks are destroying!
Wish they'd play outside my house.
And then they run away when the police show up!
@@catnewskawai9367 You can't trust Sting can ya! :D
I love this show. Vyvyan and Neil are by far my favourite characters.
Ive been watching the Young Ones since 6th grade. Its an amazing show.

I love that the Greek subtitles are one letter short of spelling prick in English! RIP Rick.
My favorite episode :)
T0RTO1S3 totally one of the best for sure! I can't honestly say I have a single favorite episode, though, I love them ALL so much!!!
hatednyc Same, they are all good :)
"in that case, I shall write to the lead singer of echo and the bunny men..... dear Mr Echo...."
Great episode. So much good stuff from start to finish.

buzz lightyear I don't know what u mean...
There was a skiier in an earlier episode. Weird stuff, I wonder why they did it
So that was just.....absolutely.....insane.....

Love this programme 🍿🥰😂
Its insane how current this show still is.
Best comedy of the 80s

0:47 Now we know why Vyvian is Pre-Med ,😁
Cor! That looked just like a negative reality inversion, didn't it?
Oh Neil, Neil, Orange peel.

I think i've seen the entire show about a 1000 times AND I NEVER KNEW ABOUT THAT?
@@SirFooplesTheThird there's a video pointingout all of their appearance's. th-cam.com/video/dG2L4QtAGGQ/w-d-xo.html
I’m pretty sure it’s only episode 1-5 in series 1
@@memyselfandi2506 yes, only series 1. (I think the party scares them off)
Did you see the subliminal message at around 30:30? ;)
Yeesh, at least now why know why Neil's so depressed. Imagine having those two as your folks.
Subliminal messages through this show . of a dove flying 20:41
Laurence most episodes have them in they ran a comp. You sent em in at end of series to win a prize...
20:42 whats with hummingbird?

22:48 😂
anyone else see the bird image spliced into the episode? Its right as Alexei is introduced to Neil's parents. I think it's a hummingbird.
20:42 is the timing.
James Taylor and frog at 30:00
15:49 Rik was knocked out filming this!
He got right back up though.
You barstard!
was Simon Day from the fast show the cop?
I have so many questions, but the most pressing one is what does the toilet say? Is it gross?
"What's Demestos?" Demestos being a cleaning product, which no student accommodation has ever had cross the threshold.
"Dear Mr.Echo" "D
"Cor! What a nasty woman!" *shoots ceiling* Brian Damage was the best character Alexi Sayle played. And that flash of a white job when Neil introduces him to his parents...
Father wears his Sunday Best, mother's tired she needs a rest the kids are playing up downstairs...
Sisters sighing in her sleep AAAAHHHH
Iconic comedy
How do you know madness is coming ? Suggs is walking up the drive.
Dear Mr Echo. (Echo is the name of the Drum Machine)
Neil's parents could very well be the Buckets. Richard and Hayacenth. Bouquet
Rick Mayall is great,this,Bottom,The new Statesman.What else has he done.Kevin Turvy and that movie where he's imaginary friend of a little boy,can't think of anything else
Neils mum was the first Mrs Rumpole of the Bailey, the one who loved him...
22:59 when vyv has a rant, I hated that programme as well.
that was my youth
Bogey bum lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Rik killed a Hippie.
