How to avoid washing a car by Kevin the teenager - BBC 

Me when I have to study for an exam

Now I understand why my mum calls me Kevin when I'm moody

Is it just me or is Kevin doing a Gollum impression BEFORE Gollum existed on screen lol?

Yep, that's the son, if it sounds like 'work' it's a drama from here to Tokyo.

Classic! Brilliant comedy!

I should be getting paid over this.

lol this is somewhat true :D

I'll be like that I watch it too much😂😂😂

this is very me

Yea same here. Ever since they saw this they call me kevin -_-

2.10 is that where is Gollum's voice comes from

I think that's why most of us are here

it sais 1pm at exactly 1:00

procrastination at its best

Did he get his £5 though?

The car got cleaned didn't it?! Bloody parents!

when i first watched kevin sketches i was just a child. i thought it was over the top and exagerrated....til i became a teenager and realised how bang on this is!

I'm now 30 and this is still how I approach things I don't really want to do.

I remember my Mum finding these sketches hilarious, and would be pointing at me and laughing the whole time. Now I show these sketches to my own teenage son.

strange sounds made by kevin with the flashlight are like gollum's voice

The most realistic part of this is the eventual point (probably about 4:30 in the morning) where he suddeny got the unexplainable urge to clean the car thoroughly

"Well done u've achieved something in ur life." LOL

I'm 28 and I still have this approach to life generally =)

Nearly 41 and still experience these moments of resistance to necessary jobs! 😂

As my dad would say: He spent more time avoiding doing it then it would take to finish it lmao

I’m watching this as a form of procrastination.

"He finally achieved something in life" LOL

The genius of this is that they let him take his time with it and waited it out. I fully empathize with all parties. Fair and square. The good old days. Job done.

He sounds like Smeagol omg

Yes, my son is exactly like this...with the funny parts taken out, that is...

I find this far too relate-able

Being a teenager is really hard. Your whole body and mind goes through a massive transformation. You are hormonally imbalanced, confused, scared. Leaving the simplicity of childhood and entering into the complex and sometimes dark world of adulthood. Worried and perplexed about the opposite sex, and a host of many things.

I forgot how BRILLIANT Harry Enfield was!! Thank you!!!!

I remember having to wash the car for my parents and I used to be like that just sitting there not doing it just staring at it 😹😹😹😹😹

Damn I was a teen when this was on I was Kevin lol 👍 Now I do it to my boss 😂

They cut out the beginning of the sketch where Kevin's Dad tries to get Kevin up by turning the stereo up, with "Going For Gold" by Shed Seven on the radio.

THAT IS SO UNFAIR!!

Love the dangling arms, perfect teenager impression. lol

Nobody: RU-vid recommendations: tHiS iS fReSh cOnTeNt

Gollum lol.

*2 days and did a fantastic job cleaning the car!* ⭐️

This is so spot on, it's frightening. The only difference is that most parents wouldn't allow him to stay out there all night.

Harry Enfield got being a teenage boy down to a tee. Reminds so much of myself at that time.

I wouldn't wash a car for £5, that's a bad investment

nice bit of Goldie on the car stereo there.

Has this popped up in anyone else's recommended after 12 years?

Not gunna lie I'm 23 and I still have these moments 😂

This is how I used to clean my room!

3am me when my teacher gives me homework😂

I can so relate to him even though I'm not at teenager

I watched this in school and I died of laughter 😂

the film is gold

I had my moments of being like Kevin during my teenage years. And it makes me wonder what my future children would be like when they get to that age...

Nothing to complain at, Kevin is doing a great job and by 11pm he celebrates by listening to Goldie - Saint Angel....

RIP Stephen Moore (Kevin’s dad)

I’m not even a teenager anymore and I still act like this 😂

My son turned 13 one week ago. Exactly the same happens when I ask my son to help me for £5.

should have made a show just for kevin and perry

Worst part is I’ve always been like this, not a teen yet so it will probably be even worse!

Harry Enfield has this spot on. My teenage son cant even manage to put a cup in the sink and he is impossible to have a conversation with even though he is intelligent. This is so accurate of what teenagers are like. They will do anything to get out of doing any work. God help anyone out there with young children. THIS REALLY IS WHAT THEY TURN INTO, BELEIVE ME!

At about 2.09 Kevin is making a voice into the wing mirror, and it’s almost exactly Andy Serkis’ Gollum. Maybe a little subliminal inspiration (everything is a remix) or maybe both are based on a cat coughing up, as Serkis has said Gollum was based on. It’s pretty uncanny, and this predates the LOTR movies…

My dad said this is me ahah

I smell a bunch of boomers in this comment section 😂

When you’re a kid and you get asked to clean your room

Kevin what are yooh doing ? I KNOW I KNOW -walks out door- Oh for god sake LMFAO XD

my mum told me i was exactly like kevin the teenager... having watched a few clips i'm actually quite shocked at how much we are alike!

The way how he says ' For Gods Sake'! 😂😂

Lmao I had to do countless chores every day since I could hold a cloth in my hand. One mistake/if I skipped a chore, I’d get physically punished. No allowance, no internet/phone/electronics/TV until I was about 12 when I had to walk to school miles away (brick Nokia phone only, the rest came at age 14). Walked to school by myself since I was 6/7. Now I’m the laziest ass ever. Can’t even be bothered to buy/cook food to eat so I just have a sandwich to last me the whole day. Found it hard to be social in school since I hadn’t the slightest clue what everyone was talking about; had one friend who I could actually rely on. Now I sleep most of the day, go for an hours walk in the park, buy a snack then go home to watch a few movies before restarting the cycle. Money comes from babysitting (where I actually clean, eat, cook etc). Existence is very bland. I don’t even have social media because it’s boring and I’m not used to it. Gonna try applying to uni again probably. I know no ones gonna read this but it feels nice to talk about it. Not interested in therapy, waste of time and money. I don’t care about it anyway. I like to stay sober because addiction is expensive and it won’t give me long-lasting happiness. I remember my 18th birthday. No party, no friends/family. What a sad waste. I miss the times when I loved to give and share; to see people genuinely smile. My best friend died a couple of hours before 2018’s new year from cancer. Got the call just 20 minutes before the the fireworks. The doctors said the condition was getting better, and I actually believed them. That’s the sort of naivety that kills people and letting them live. That’s what made me stop being being so generous... when I got hurt by people taking advantage. I never asked for anything back. That doesn’t mean I deserved it. I can’t even cry anymore. It’s all just blank.

This is my attitude to everything 😂

Washing the car is the best part of having a car.

I hate how this is me

1:53 down any one know the name of this song?

Watching this whilst doing my homework. Ah well, that can wait till later

I was like this when I was that age, in fact i was so much like it my mum even called me Kevin! I can remember saying "that is is so unfair, I hate you!"

Yep, that's the son with cleaning his room once a week. Complete drama. He's 17.

This is hilarious 😂 they need to make more of these

My Dad's friend called me Kevin because one day he asked me to walk the dogs with my friend and I replied "Come on! You people are so unfair, I might as well just call CHILDLINE, you.... YOU BULLYS!" So I just had to see who he was

how can this video have 18 dislikes?! it is funny as hell!!

he deserves 10 pounds cause it took him over 3 hrs to do i mean like thats a waste of time

You don't get this... Until you become a teenager, very accurate😂😂

Saw this when it aired. "You've achieved something in your life!" is still used as a suffix by my parents to comments relating to work/achievment, trivial or otherwise, usually ironically.

I would just get it done

It feels like I’m watching smosh

2018 anybody?

it's slightly over exaggerated but it's basically right on😂

Exactly as it is a 13 yr old and a 15yr old...lol..

I aspire to be at this level of procrastination im only 80%of the way there

my mom said this is me LOL

typical bodge it and scarper

Kevin is now the head of the NHS.

I can't stop laughing~~!!!

Not surprised he doesn't want to clean it, it's a Toyota Corona!

I remember when this first aired. I never realised that it would be discovered many years later and used as an instruction manual by an entire generation of idiots.

Haha when Mr and Mrs Patterson carried Kevin at the end was really really funny

He sounds like precious 🤣

Is this where Andy Serkis got Gollum's voice?

I realise this is highly characterised but I wanna know if kids today are still like this (the teenage angst stuff)? I know my gen was (a tiny bit), but does this sketch still apply today? If not I would say the internet is a contributing factor, kids today are much more "worldly" due to so much information being available.

Factually incorrect, no teenager is up that early on a weekend.

well this aged badly
