A timeless classic, there was nothing like it before, or since. Would it work today ? im not sure, the pure genius of Rik Mayall, and brilliance of Nigel Planer, just worked perfectly. Doing a rerun, with different actors simply would not work.
I'm not sure it is timeless although certainly a classic. I loved it when it was on, the best thing ever but to me it's now very dated unlike some other comedies such as Fawlty Towers, Dad's Army and The Good Life
It was definitely of its time and Bottom came close to delivering the same anarchic, slapstick, but I do agree that there was nothing quite like the young ones.
If I could sit in a log cabin atop of a mountain blazing fire, nice sofa and portable DVD player, with the complete collection of the young ones, wow oh yeah and joint would be great too
Did they know it's the title of a book by the anti-school campaigner A S Neill, founder of the freedom school Summerhill ? Wish they had put that in the show, given the long term exclusion of anti-school views from the media.
A Comedy like The Young Ones I doubt if this would be made today as society's attitude towards comedy has changed and society doesn't laugh at comedy the same as we did 38 years ago.
I'll take the number of comments into triple figures by saying that tripling up on Neil here was an act of absurdist comedic genius, and it'd be hard to find people who could pull this off as well as Nigel Planer and the late, great Rik Mayall these days. 💡
It was great when it came out. It was completely off the grid to the usual stuff. Watching it now is not as good for me but still enjoyable. but is it cos it was or is so ridiculous (not necessarily in a bad way) or is it cos its a memory from a better time than today.
Neil is an ascended Zen Master and Bodhisattva. He continually reincarnates on Earth to bring the far out powers of vegetable rights and peace. His multiple avatars "rising from the poo" is meant to illustrate his multiple incarnations and eternal service to mankind.
Yeah I was about the same. Our parents would go play tennis and leave my brother and I at home. We would stay up past bed time and watch this. Just blew our minds. Nothing like this around anymore. Good times 😊
Of all the Young ones episodes this is the one my brother and I always end up reciting everytime we get pissed. Even the kicking the panda bear is comedy genius. Ahhh it seems that bit was edited out of this. Shame.
This house will become a shrine, and punks and skins and rastas will all gather round and hold their hands in sorrow for their fallen leader. And all the grown-ups will say: "But why are the kids crying?" And the kids will say: "Haven't you heard? Rik Is dead! The People's Poet is dead!
Comedy left British tv in the last decade it's hard to find humour in Tv, film or stage now. Apart from stand up live comedy it's just a terrible time for the comedians. It's all fabricated reality, crappy contests, bad news and awful late shows.
Rik Mayall, the best and sorely missed ! RIP our legend.
To quote Vivian, selfish bastard!
The kids have lost their leader. Right on. ✌️
*The People's Po(faced) It*
RIP RICK
💖🙏💜
Love listening to Neil's lectures!!
He is such a good Teacher!!
🤣🤣🤣

Might do.
A bit cringe to watch After All These Years, strange how in your 50s you dislike most things
It was definitely of its time and Bottom came close to delivering the same anarchic, slapstick, but I do agree that there was nothing quite like the young ones.
Oh shut up. Shut up!
Such great comedy. Rick was a one-off 😁
Those days were great and this is a gift that keeps giving
There will never be another Rik - he was brilliant. Miss him.
Rik mayall, the young ones is one of the best things from the 80s
Always loved the negative reality inversion bit
"Rick Rick this is the voice of your conscience speaking"
"SHUT UP"
"Don't tell me to shut up you spotty little bastard! 🤣🤣🤣
Brrilllianttt !!!!!
th-cam.com/video/blLCClWHtLU/w-d-xo.html get out of my head, poo-hole seems to be the best quote regards interaction with conscience....
"Oi stop having a wet dream you little pervy, your supposed to be racked with remorse"
Legends all of them 👍🇬🇧
This was my first exposure to The Young Ones on MTV in 1986!
If I could sit in a log cabin atop of a mountain blazing fire, nice sofa and portable DVD player, with the complete collection of the young ones, wow oh yeah and joint would be great too
genius and one of kind comedy...
Neil’s mum: “Did you make your bed?”
Neil: “No, I bought it.”
One of my favourite episodes 😂😂😂 Neil Neil orange peel if only I could see you again 😂😂😂
i love the young ones they so funny good old 80s tv rip RIK MAYALL
2:19 for the classic line. All Young Ones fans should set that as their ringtone, great way to find each other in a crowd...
#o)
If only I could see you again!
Neal Neal orange peel, hey I don't get It
Wow I used to watch this when I was a kid haha I would wait all week just to watch it haha...
Rest well Rik

RICK: Help! Michael! Vyvyan! Neil's come back from the grave as zombies!
Missed out the best bit with Rik having a nightmare.
"wRik, wRiiik, this is the voice of your conscience speaking"...🤣

'Oi! Stop having a wet dream you little pervy. You're supposed to be wracked with remorse!'
shame the bit where rik stamps on the panda on the stairs is missed out. I miss rik mayall bloody class comedian he was.
Yes. Bloody panda. Who needs them?
I had this through school as my name is neal lol classic comedy
My best friend is called Neil and I always call him orange peel.
I'm called Neill and people at work used to call me orange peel. This explains why
@@NS-ks5qc I had all the way through school, it pissed me off cause I thought I was more of a Vivian haha.
@@skapunkno1 Me too! Shout out to all the Neils in the world!
Apparently I look like Neil so that’s what they call me
Surreal
🙏 Yep, we miss Rik 🙏 thank you Rik 🙏 RIP 🙏
“We sow the seed, nature grows the seed then we eat the seed”
Yes, we all saw it
@@sirandrelefaedelinoge No, no, no. You don't understand the timeless wonder of it: we SOW the SEED.
@@ThomasCorfield nature GROWS the seed
@@Gnrnrvids and then we EAT the seed

Genuis rik mayall
Neil Neil Orange Peel is the of a book by A S Neil about his free school started in the early 50s
A Comedy like The Young Ones I doubt if this would be made today as society's attitude towards comedy has changed and society doesn't laugh at comedy the same as we did 38 years ago.
Oh pure comedy gold 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Miss you Rick!!!
I still say, "5p is 5p mannnn". When I find 5p on the floor.
I think Rik was genuinely on the crank when he was doing this show
In the 2020s, Neil is the Cool Guy of the group
Argh you cut out the best bit - Rik leathering that panda on the stairs!
Classic .

Every body was great not just rik
No, listen right. I am the seed!
Mad Rick.
The best
I stuck a sticker saying orange peel on someone called Neil's name at work, nobody got the joke :(
Wasted on them…
I’ve killed a hippy and now I’ll have to pay
Cor that looked just like a negative reality inversion didn't it?
@@danw1374 yeah it really looked like a negative reality inversion…..
"Hello Rik !"
You'll go to prison and get räped in the shower by Mr Big, who's in with the warders.
RIP Rik

Nah, it was never funny and still isnt, and still wont be in another 20 years!, 🙄
@@tonyq39 depends who watches it and at what age they watch it.
Neeel, Neeel, owange peeeel!
Surely S2 E6 - the last episode - was "Summer Holiday" ?
Oh yeah - now corrected.
Evolution of the seed:
- sow the seed
- nature grows the seed
- eat the seed

Love this Lol 😆
oh wOWWWWWWW
Boss.😊
This reminds me of when Luke first met R2
Dont forget Neil!
I was about 7...Fucking watching this shit ffs...Rick Mayall was an absolute fucking Legend...
Yeah I was about the same. Our parents would go play tennis and leave my brother and I at home. We would stay up past bed time and watch this. Just blew our minds. Nothing like this around anymore. Good times 😊
The starting Credits were Classic...Summer Holiday was Classic...Look out...Cliff...And then the end credits...Tres Bon as the French say...
Of all the Young ones episodes this is the one my brother and I always end up reciting everytime we get pissed. Even the kicking the panda bear is comedy genius. Ahhh it seems that bit was edited out of this. Shame.

Hello, Hello, Hello.
Farming in "the CHAZ"
Poor Ade, got cut off!
I thought Rick tried to burn the corpse...
Cut out the best bits, why don't you!
LoL. Youn ones bloopers :)
Helloooow
It's no wonder so many people have mental health problems these days it's because no-one is allowed to laugh!.
Haaaaa
Nice to see what Vladimir Putin looked like in his younger days! 🤣
Comedy left British tv in the last decade it's hard to find humour in Tv, film or stage now. Apart from stand up live comedy it's just a terrible time for the comedians. It's all fabricated reality, crappy contests, bad news and awful late shows.
No wonder Neil had such weak swimmers 😆
Doesn't stand the test of time well. Infantile.
Such a dumb show
Totally missing half the script, missed rik talking to his unconscious guilt ,voiced by Ben elton.
"Stop having a wet dream you little pervy!"
Its weird how Greg Davis looks and sounds like Rik
