2:20 I remember going to the shops dressed like that and walking around like that, but my crush was there and saw me... I dreaded going to school the next day but my mum made me and that day my crush came up and said 'hey prick'. We've been together for 24 years now. Thank you Young Ones.
+Rose NoHo what you mean? at the start the bomb's already in front of the fridge....please explain, as the baby airplane at end has always confused me!!! =)
Oh, maybe at the beginning of this version, it doesn't show it.. I had this episode on VHS way back when. the ep starts by cutting to a plain in the sky, dropping the bomb. This question is a year old... ah well ;P
i totally love the young ones, i remember watching this when i was a teenager on MTV. after all these years i still laugh my ass off everytime i see them.
i know some people dont like Alexie Sayle in the young ones, but i find him a touch of genius at times, it wouldnt be the same without his crazy parts.....his jester scene in Sick is pure quality
I think the bomb represents an egg. What the part 1 video doesn't show (I assume it didn't get uploaded for some reason) at the beggining, a plane is flying overhead and releases the bomb and it crashes through the house and lands in the kitchen. So the bomb opens up, out pops a tiny little aeroplane and flys away. Hence, it's akin to an egg.
This one is the Young Ones equivalent of the Fawlty Towers dead body and psychiatrists episodes, cracking scene after cracking scene. Tour de Force of comedy.
There are more high quality laughs in this 11 minute part of 1 episode than you find in an entire series of many other, even relatively good, comedies. You can also see very clearly here that, while the other 3 all have their moments and are good characters in their own right, it's Rik Mayall that's the undoubted Sun that the others orbit around.
You had 3 comic geniuses here, Mayall, Edmondson and Nigel Planer, plus at least 1 behind the scenes - Ben Elton. And 1 great stand up comedian - Alexei Sayles.
LMAO..I saw this show on MTV when I was 16! MTV used to show it every Sunday. Btw..the golfer with the red hair and glasses at 2:44 is Viv lol and his buddy that comes along at 3:07 is Rick! Damn this was when MTV was the SHIT not like BEING SHIT NOW LOL that it is!! :-D
Almost nothing makes me laugh like the Young Ones. I suspect Gen Z would find it dated. Except Rik is the same hypocritical Marxist so many of them are now which they wouldn't find funny! 😂 No doubt Rik would be an old Brexiteer today.
@@sundaypeople5791 the comment writer was talking about the fictional character Ri(c)k - not the actor himself. I mean it's confusing- some of Rik's iconic roles he played were characters either named Rick or Richie, as some of Ade's characters were named Eddie.
Reading my honest answer from 1 year ago - having learnt since that Rik wasn't thaaat reasonable at times & a proud Englishman/ yes, why not, but/ so.....? Love him anyway with all his contradictions!❤️😅
40 years have past and the world, specialy the west, turned into a shithole alright! I wish i could go back to the 80's because that was the best decade ever!!!
@@Ghost-vi8qm ohh... BBC only paid a minimum for comedy shows, but extra for "variety" shows, adding live music made it qualify as a variety show. Also let them have 2 days to film, as opposed to just one day for straight comedy shows.
Anyone who doesn't like Alexie Sayle is too young for the young ones... They're probably the ones who's contribution is to quote bit's of the "zany British" script without any real understanding of the time and country in which it was written.
