Thanks for this! Been living in France (!) for 15 years but no TV. I didn't even know about this series until I chanced upon it. It's bleedin' funny and very true!!
I completely agree with you, as the world isn't grumpyfying enough as it is ;). It'll take a couple of weeks, but I promise the rest of the series will be put out on youtube.
I love these shows. Just as true today as they were all those years ago. I'm proud being a grumpy old cow. Everything is just as _shite_ as it was 10 years ago. Nothing has changed. Except freaking mobile phones that should be surgically extracted from my daughters' ears. And they expect me to pay for their phones. Not freaking likely. 😂
Geoffrey Palmer, there has NEVER been a more perfect narrator for a television series than this. However, Rory McGrath's anecdote doesn't make him sound like a grumpy old man, it makes him sound like a bullying (and slightly creepy) pillock.
"This is the generation that wanted to die before it got old, now they find themselves old, and not dead yet" Surely that's only true of the ones who didn't die? Some have seen their dreams fullfilled!
I loved my flares and bellbottoms but why didn't someone tell me my hair and beard made me look like the lion from "The Wizard of Oz"? I should have listened to my father!!
I'm a grumpy middle aged man ,. and bloody proud of it , what gets me riled is radio DJ's who prattle on about absolute shite and cackle inanely , I wan't to say to them , " Look Chas , it might be funny to you and your two co-hosts in the studio,, who seem to do the sweet sum of F%^k all , but trust me , your juvenile 4th form wit is tiresome . Rant over , PS thanks for posting these videos .
I am not even middle aged yet and I am coherently grumpy......I agree with you on radio, especially when you've got channels advertising "we're all about the music" and then you get 15 minutes of blabbering morons reporting on something supposedly funny, that is actually just another symptom of the madness society has gotten itself into ;).
"Like, ahoono? Like, whatevs? Like, I guess? Or something?" Oddly, "innit", a masticated version of "isn't it", which IS a question, is exempt from this lilt of linguistic indecisiveness.
I don't hate piercings (or tattoos, for that matter), and have considered both for myself, but I do think it's more attractive when people stick to the old "less is more" policy. Tons of piercings essentially tons of jewelry that can't be removed, tons of tatts are like tons of makeup that can never be washed off. I won't judge your character for either, but I may question your taste. Kind of sorry, and kind of not.
Yes a perfect world ,of the sixties and Expo 67 in Montreal the theme ,Man and His World , a sexist theme by today's standards ,the future was going to be fantastic ,Expo 67, was the world's best fair ever. Too bad the future wasn't, today it is not the future of better things, it is the world of good enough.
Automated phone centers should be banned completely everywhere. If you call anything a human being should pick up Nowadays I wont even tell a pretty coworker if she has a nice dress on...I feel that will earn me a harassment suit
All chased out of the country! They are now deemed as illegals! A little different in other countries methinks. The countryside here is wonderful, no graffiti, almost no crime (they only chase car-owners) in the rural areas like where I live. And the lovely warm sea just half an hour away - and the girls!! RooOOWWWLL! So - how's life with you matey?
I'm a millennial, I watched this series when it first aired and I was still a teenager (15 to be exact.) I don't think a 15 year old girl was their target audience but I found it rather amusing. (Although as a 30 year old woman I certainly hope people don't really go around swearing at shop assistants because the music is too loud, I hope that bit was for comedic effect.)
Living in the sixties was a very bright existence. LSD ,Hendrix and ban the Bomb were all very real. But then in the mid - 70s every became dark. Suddenly there was shite everywhere. And that was just the beginning. Now that 60's perspective makes me laugh out loud at the drivelling mediocrity that surrounds me. We were at the Zenith of good vibes dressed in quality and we saw everything go down the pan therein after. It's nice to have an identity highly contrasted with those that aspire to social networking, the Kardashians and the 7% of the population of the world's most powerful country that believe choco milk comes from brown cows.LMFAO. Peace and Love
we were promised by the gov and nuclear power stations that electric would become much cheaper but again we were lied to constantly. its no wonder my generation is grumpy we were promised the earth yet got the usual, fuck all. the countries assets i.e. rail, elec, gas, and oil were sold of to the banks and insurance companies via the shares they got us mugs to purchase, getting us to buy into companies we already owned.
You don't know what grumpy is. This grumpy left your shores fifteen years ago when he realised it's better to be poor and warm than poor and cold. Brexit. Brexit is devaluing the Pound Sterling so much that this grumpy might be forced to return. If he is, he will help you all to pass on. Grrrr.

As a grumpy old woman, I approve this series. Thank you for posting!
There nothing like a good whinge, I get a lot of satisfaction and results from whinging; whinging is good not a bad thing.
Love this series! I don't know why they are considered grumpy. They make perfect sense to me.
I have embraced my grumpy old man years. I enjoy a good old whinge. The whole world gets on my nerves. It's a happy time of life.
Rick Wakeman is my favourite, who knew that he is so funny!

This is one of my all time favourites and it never fails to make me laugh!
It's 2024 in the UK, Labour are in power and we are very, very grumpy!..
You should have voted for the conservatives then, but the moaning group now didn't, which is why Labour won a landslide.
Thank you so much for the upload mate. Some of the other uploads out here are quite maddening and will make you very grumpy.
I am 62 and been a grumpy old man for almost 40 years now. God knows what I will be like if I reach true old age
I want to marry a grumpy old man. We would get along so well hating the world together.
Classic comment. 😂
I'm 36 years old, and I totally agree with them......... I guess I'm getting old
Thanks for the upload!
I completely agree with you, as the world isn't grumpyfying enough as it is ;). It'll take a couple of weeks, but I promise the rest of the series will be put out on youtube.
thanx 4 sharing this series
greetings from Buin, Chile.

Oh dear, I see so much of me in these gents..... does that make me a grumpy old woman? lol
"Look at all the bits of metal in my facial area!" "Why?" "I'm so edgy!" "If you say so."
I'm a grumpy old man at 39. Where is my parade?...
Went in sports direct and spent £140 then they want to sell you a bag with sports direct in big letters on for £3:50 advertising their store
Thank you sooooo much for these. They always make me laugh my tits off. Laughing at my dad for the grump he is to the grump im becoming.
They were already fed up back then. Society was a piece of cake compared to all this nonsense of Pokemon go, Twitter and so on. We are fucked up.
And six years later we are looking at the possible end of our civilization.
I'm with Rory on fully spelled out and correctly punctuated text messages. Yup.
Geoffrey Palmer, there has NEVER been a more perfect narrator for a television series than this.

Love it
Dinny worry I'm only 35 n I feel the same way! Sorry had to write it like this hahaha!
thank you for addressing the upswing in talking and the non-use of the double t!!
It is irritating as hell!
Don't really care for half of them. But Will Self is a legend!
I snogged him as a teenager believe it or not. I used to write him letters written on toilet paper. My only claim to fame ha ha.
Moshin Rao: He is a dick.
As a teenager, I thought these were such silly things to be annoyed by. Now I’m in my late 30s I’m a properly grumpy bastard
"This is the generation that wanted to die before it got old, now they find themselves old, and not dead yet"
Surely that's only true of the ones who didn't die? Some have seen their dreams fullfilled!
27:17. Wow!
Bob Geldof @ 14:50 and 19:05 is hilarious
the upswing at the end of a sentence is californian. the east coast does not have anything to do with that.
Hmmm…
(Pensive face emoji)
I loved my flares and bellbottoms but why didn't someone tell me my hair and beard made me look like the lion from "The Wizard of Oz"? I should have listened to my father!!

Bloody millennials and generation Z need to watch this series
