Hands down, one of the BEST comedies to ever feature on Television. I wasn't around when this first aired but thankfully my Dad got me into this when I was younger. You'll never get a greater line up than Rik Mayall, Ade Edmonson, Nigel Planer, Christopher Ryan, and Alexei Sayle!
i was about 13 or 14 when this first came on lol so good so funny so different we only had i think 4 chans back then lol and 4 was only new
also: Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders, Robbie Coltrane
It would be completely brilliant if you could just show the fucking clips without the chatter, knobhead!
In sweden I only saw a few episodes. But then there was a show called Bottom, which I didn't miss an episode of.
3 of them did a show after this called Filthy Rich and Cat Flap then Rick and Ade also had a show called Bottom.
I'm American. The young ones was shown on MTV on Sunday nights in the 80's. I had never seen anything like it and I totally loved it. I taped every episode and eventually got the DVDs. This along with Benny Hill and Dave Allen was my introduction to British comedy and I loved every minute of it. And yes the whole university challenge episode was the best
I think I wrote this comment, because it is word for word what I was about to say! Frickin' genius!
Dave Allen was pure class.
dave allen was world class funny
OMG I did the same thing, and now I have them on disk, good times when MTV was fun
Me too! I watched it enough that I had to splice the VHS tape twice before I stumbled on the DVDs with the original episodes and not the original MTV cut ones. Great shows!
The intro should have been video, have we got a video? YES, we've got a video!!!
Have we got a video?
@@animewatcher00 YES, WE'VE GOT A VIDEO!
A true fan right there !
'It's a video nasty.' 'It's a carpet, farty.'
Old lady: "Do you dig graves?"
Neil: "Oh. They're alright."
I love the good life episode 😅😅. First we plant the seed, then we grow the seed and then we eat the seed 😂😂
I think that was the episode that had the subliminal messages in them. A frog and a dove if I remember rightly.
@@angelarussell8640 and the row of collies hahaha 😂😂
I'm pretty sure that was a negative reality inversion.
A forgotten scene begins with "Rik, Rik, this is your conscience speaking " and ends with "Stop having a wet dream, you pervy"!!!! One of my favourite quotes.
LOL cheers you just reminded me of that, ya sick pervy 😁
“Neil . . . Neil . . . Orange peel.If only I could see you again!”
Im an Aussie and was brought up with British comedy through my dad listening the The Goon Show in the car when we were kids. As I got older and got to live with my adored father, we used to sit together when I was a teenager, just on our own, and watch the Dave Allen Show, The Two Ronnies, etc, and would laugh our butts off. I have brought my son up on British comedy and he now has a huge collection of his own, many of them from my dad. They Young Ones, Monty Python, and Red Dwarf in the 90’s are my favourite shows of all time. Lost my darling dad 17months ago aged 87 and I am so grateful for those amazing memories with him and for him teaching me about British comedy.
IT Crowd, League of Gentlemen...
List is endless mate!!
Milligan had a show out here, as did Allen
The best father son experience is watching good British comedy together. My father introduced me to the classics, then we watched the current crop together, then I introduced my son's to them all too. My son's favourite was when they were too young to understand all the jokes were there Bottom Live shows. My sister named her cat Dave after Thunderwing Doomslayer due to me making her watch them when she was young.
@@StefanMedici That's brilliant mate!
I brought me now 18 yo up on TYO, League of Gentlemen, Dangerous Bros blaa blaa...
Yer gotta gd old man!
I watched these back in the 80's, when I really should have been revising. I regret nothing!
I saw this on Comedy Central in the 90s when most of their content was old TV series and movies. "Bambi" is my favorite. Every time it came on I had to watch.
This was a brilliant show, and I think it reached its peak in "Bambi", which may be one of the greatest episodes of any show, ever.
This show was a riot! Absolutely loved it!
Have introduced a lot of people to this. A friend of mine on a visit to Scotland in 1985 clued me in on it. Now the entire family will throw in a young ones quote any chance we get. My son gets rosotto at a restaraunt, "it's snow isn't Neil". And my all time favourite "boring, just because you do a little bit of house work".
Nooo they left out one of the funniest episodes!!! When Vivian thinks he is pregnant but he's just gotta fart. I love The Young Ones sooo damn much.
Yep...my all time favorite episode!
Absolutely hilarious
#10 is from that episode.
I have a craving for a piece of fried lavatory paper
Watch this growing up, loved British humor❤.
I first saw the majority of episodes on MTV in the mid 80’s. Love the show.
I'm from the U.S., and MTV started playing The Young Ones sometime in the mid-late 80's, and I was instantly hooked. This show is like a fever dream, just so random at times. And they always had excellent musical guests. Alexei Sayle was an absolutely brilliant and under-appreciated part of the show, and the interplay between the main 4 (especially Rik & Ade) keeps me laughing for hours after I'm finished watching.
The Musical Guests were added, after it was discovered that if they did, the BBC would class it as "Variety" and not just Comedy.
They got a larger production budget.
I watched this as a teen waaay back. Fave moments - Vyvyan stuffing food into his mouth at the station and sticking two fingers up at the person behind the till (Bambi). I also love SPG ('See you, teddy bear' then headbuts it) and how they react when the University Challenge music starts. Also - 'tell Roger Bannister' and the four horsemen of the Apocalypse (Party). And Neil on the toilet with a guitar and Vyvvan bursts in and wrecks the cistern 😂. I loved this show as a teen and it still makes me laugh in my 50s.
Rik 'I'm The People's Poet, when I'm gone you all miss me' - stuffs his face full of pills
Neil: 'Vyvyan, is it possible to kill yourself with laxative pills?'
Jennifer Saunders trying to strangle Mike
I love the episode when Vivian crucifies himself, and Neil tries to grow a garden.
That last nail is a bitch 😂😂😂
Rik crucified himself,not Viv. - “House,House,House,Oh you’re made of stone . . . but you aren’t a lone - ly house!”
I fucking love The Young Ones. Me and my 3 best mates at uni were literally The Young Ones IRL.
Oh yes, everybody says that! And you obviously didn't study grammar at university because it should be: my 3 best mates and I! Farty pants!
An American here also & I loved the Young Ones , absolutely hilarious back in the 80s
I’m honestly blessed that I found the complete series on DVD a while back, the collection even had the music performances!
I discovered the Young Ones later in life (I'm from the US and was born after it premiered). I rewatched it again last month. I actually have a Rick crochet doll I got off etsy. Telescope and Mouse not included.
Highlight of my early teenage years. The Young Ones book was hot property in my High School in those days. Great comedy....awesome cameos....and some fantastic musical appearances. Loved Lemmy belting out Ace of Spades in the drawing room and Madness doing their thing in a couple of episodes. 👍👍
Memories of my child hood for me watching this my two older sisters. Amazing!
4:28 - Rik got a right face full there.... OoohErrr!
'Laundry Day'
Neil: 'On no... Sock Escape!'
Rik: 'Vyvyan, if you can't keep your socks under control you shan't be allowed to have any'
That was good watchin 👍
“Neil, your bedroom’s on fire” 😂🤣😂
Absolutely loved this show, seeing it when it first aired, it was brilliant, anarchic, incredibly funny, and had so many great lines in it. Vivian was always my favourite, especially with his interactions with the fabulous Rik Mayal. Genius, such a pity nobody makes anything even close to this these days.
"That's a pig." "No, it's a dog. Bacon Sandwich here does look a little bit like a pig"
It's a ferrit. A severely deformed ferrit, I'll grant you that. So severely deformed infact it looks a little bit like a pig
So many catchphrases that we still say in our family - TV to Rick: "Go to bed, Spotty", Rick: "Hands up who likes me?", Neil :"ohh noooo- techno fear....!" and Vyvyan: "it's looks a little bit like a pig" (Bambi episode) and noone can mention risotto without saying "it's snow, isn't it Neil?"
Loved it and as someone called Neil who had long hair back when this aired for the first time it was hard to not know all about it. I still get Neil Neil Orange peel at least once a year. Another great watch is "The comic strip presents", "A fist full of travellers cheques" which so funny and probably better. Ade Edmondson plays a Matador from Birmingham .. absolutely hilarious 😁.
Watched it growing up (though I thinked it aired a bit later, 2-3 years from the original UK dates)... so weird and freakishly funny!
I saw the series via reruns on Comedy Central. And before anyone asks; YES WE GOT A VIDEO!!
All the shows were Gold.
Not watched this yet but I love when Ade wasbored so he decided to nail his head to the coffee table.
I remember all those episodes. I use to watch “The Young Ones” in MTV back in the 1980’s. Good times!
It was over 40 years ago when I found The Young Ones on BBC2 and as a young idiot I was completely hooked! One of the best shows ever to appear on the box.
Crop rotation in the 14th Century, also Viva El Presidente!
We used to watch & record on VHS so we can pause & frame by frame see the flash image. Great show for it's time
I used to babysit for a particular family because they had MTV while they were playing the Young Ones late at night.
Loved these ghys, have the series on dvd, still pull iit out and watch. I see new things every time.
Yes, I watched the young ones when I was young as a child and I loved it. We all loved it. Thank you. Very much.
I'm still not sure how, but I found a channel playing this in the US in the 80s and was instantly in love. Absolutely fantastic, and here I am laughing out loud at seeing vivvian's head knocked off again! 🤣
Wow I haven't thought about this show in yours. You sew the seed...
Sausages, plants & Goldfish!
WatchMojoUK, I really liked this video! I subscribed too!
Vivian trying to throw the t.v out the window always makes me laugh.
When he ate the television to avoid paying the T.V. tax.
What's the stair carpet doing on the fire?
BURNING!
Here in the states we had to watch it when it came on MTV but i watched every episode
My brother and I would have tears running down our faces but our parents would be stone faced saying this is rubbish which would make us laugh even more
A friend brought back one ep to Oz before it got here and us kids (20 yr olds) were peeing ourselves laughing and Mum sat there stone faced. Never forgotten that.
I am Gen X and the only funny part of the show for me was Neil. I didn't find the plot or the lines funny. I just enjoyed laughing at the long-haired spaced out hippie.
BEST memories of my childhood 🤣
I used to watch the Young Ones on MTV back in the 80's. I'd get totally shit faced and laugh my ass off watching it. The show is right up there with Monty Python and the Black Adder. One of the best lines of the show was when Vivian drew an obscene picture on Rick's pencil box. When Rick saw it he said "Small things please small minds. Vivian's reply was "Well then you'd be hard put to half please anyone."
The moment I saw an intro clip showcasing the series I was hooked.
When I saw that first episode with my brothers we were converts.
In the top 5 of Ultimate UK comedy shows. Still funny as now and I've watched them all about 30 times.
Only 30? 😅
'' Ha Ha. Missed BOTH My Legs.''
Watched it during my high school years and thought it was brilliant. Hard to pick just 10 scenes, but I was hoping to see the one where Vivian kills Neil with a shovel, who then comes back to life, risen from his garden. I was pleased to see, "We have a poltergoost!" As that's a favorite line I try to use whenever I can.
Sorry to correct you - it was Rik who killed Neil with a shovel.
“Neil . . . Neil . .Orange peel . . .If only I could see you again!”
@@redpillnibbler4423 OMG... I had to go check and you're right. It appears I've created my own Mandela Effect memory based on the fact Vyvyan is usually the most violent. Bloody hippy!
Watched these every Sunday on MTV. Got the DVDs now. 👽✌️
I was between 12 n 14 when this was on TV n totally loved it great tv
'Yesss,bit of pretty bloody brilliant luck ey, we're doing exactly the same period as I did for O level.'. I can quote everything from every episode. '
Does anyone else remember split second images flashing on the screen? If I remember rightly there was a skier on one episode. Absolutely brilliant comedy.
Another one was a frog
Loved this back in the day. I loved the episode was when London flooded.
I loved it!
Watched it when i was at school great stuff also seen bottom live amazing
😂😂😂😂loved watching this
The episode called “Bamby” was tried to be banned as Vivian puts his head out of the train and was cut off as it was thought that impressionable teens would try the same! 😱 - STILL the best comedy BY FAR in the 80’s! 👍
Remember Alexei Sayle "Ullo john gotta new motor" i have my 6 year old in the passenger seat while driving and i spot a Mini Morris, i instantly sing out of my window in a British accent"Ullo John Gotta New Motor" look every one johns got a new motor and my 6 year old cant stop laughing because i do it in an over exaggerated comical British accent.
I remember it well 👍 “Ullo,ullo,ullo,ullo,ullo John got a new mo- TA!”
Dancing at the disco
Bumper to bumper....
Without The Young Ones, we wouldn't have got Bottom....even more anachic. Both series completely confused my late parents. 😆
Bless.. rip to your passed parents...
But lol your right... i was thirteen when this came out.. the perfect age for this mint humour!!!
My dad absolutely loved The Young Ones, we did too was brilliant, just watched that and it brought bk so many memories!
The Young Ones was lightning in a bottle,it can never be repeated.
It was radical tv and completely unique - and it still is unique to this day!
Unless you were a teenager at the time it came out it’s impossible to describe how insanely brilliant and irreverent the Young Ones was (and still is)
I have the series on disk and still enjoy watching it.
I did a "Which Young One Are You?" and came out Vyvyan. I'm only sad that BritBox doesn't have the Young Ones for some reason.
Brilliant 😂😎👍
Also featuring in Bambi were Ben Elton and Griff Rhys-Jones, two other giants of British comedy. Arguably, at the time the episode was filmed, Rhys-Jones was better known than Elton, Fry, Laurie or Thompson.
IN America on the local PBS station luv it
Was talk of the school on a Tuesday after been on night before, good old days
Rick wears his BBC badge upside down, is that a distress signal?
Hail to Rik the people's poet❤❤❤❤
A compilation of the short cutaway scenes in each episode, eg the brushes under the stairs, Dr not the nine o'clock news, the convicts waiting to be transported etc etc etc, would be great to see please?,
Is that the same fridge from Bottom....omgggg :D
For 'Anarchic very metal psychopath' read 'Medical student'. I actually used the first episode this as a 'training video' for freshers. (and yes, I saw it the first time around.)
My brother bought me Neil’s book several years back.
Young Ones & Top of the Pops.
A line from the young ones I still use to this day when someone says "so whats new" is from the Interesting episode with the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse (Famine, Pestilence, Death, and the other one), famine says "i'm famished", Pestilence says "so whats new, to which the other one replies "microchip technology", Pestilence (usually the person i'm talking to) says "what", the other one replies (me) "microchip technology - thats quite a new thing" I know there's a bit more to the line, but it has the desired effect.
The, 'so what's new?', response was also used by Neil when Vyvyan used nails as a form of acupuncture to cure his cold, in response to, 'Now, you might feel a bit of a prick', prior to knocking the first one in.
My husband still says 'bored, bored, bored' to this day.
Red Dwarf was another outrageous britt comedy, my favorite was the kool cat man.
The first 2 series are my favourites.
Used to watch this on MTV
I was slightly too young to catch this but I've seen a few of them. My favourite is the headless one. And for me. Mike will always be Spudgun.
First watched this when i was about 6 after finding my mum's video she had of some episodes of the young ones. One of the best comedies made and the bambi episode will always be the best. Scumbag Vyvyan!
Rik Rik this is the voice of your conscious speaking
RIP the people's poet
The Young Ones would never be made today because the public's attitude towards comedy has changed so much and people get easily offended by the slightest thing these days. This was made at a time when political correctness was just a word and Mary Whithouse was campaigning for no sex and violence on TV.
Ah! Mary Whitehouse what an enigma.
Well said son 🎉🎉
'Bambi'
Neil: 'Bambi, is it true... did you do... a video nasty?'
Bamber gascoigne: 'times were hard, I needed the money'
Ben Elton, Emma Thompson, Hugh Laurie: 'Rah Rah Rah, we're going to smash the oiks!'
Bamber 'that's the wrong answer, but I know your father, so you get 5 points'
Why isn't the scene where Vyvan is bored up here along with his cricket bat? 😂
True!... bored bored bored... thwack!!!...
Or what about one when Rick bumps off Neil.. Neil's reborn!!!
Or Rick on the cross.. wrong house!!!
All of them were so mint.. I was so sad at series ending,... Cliff!!!!!
This was just a parody on what Life was really like In the late 70's early 80's everywhere In the UK. We were living this life by the day, and It was the best time ever.
Surprising, you didn’t mention the episode “Boring” also featuring Madness.
That was hilarious in its day but it hasn’t passed the cruel test of time, yet Monty Python is still funny even though it was about twenty years older.
If SPG doesn't feature in this it's a fail.
I even had the C64 game.
I like The Young Ones
I need the Hamster!!!!
SPG - Special patrol group.🐹
Brilliant show , my brother and i had to watch it with the volume turned down on the portable black and white huddled in his room because surprise surprise our dad didnt like us watching it( fascist)😅... Also how many of you of a certain age played out the Viv scene when on a train , minus the head loss of course , had to be done 😅
You left out the Special Branch and the video
Yes, I watched it Religiously, and, I thought the Best episode was win they all turned into,...Monty Python!
