Topic: The Young Ones Thread

[Lenin.]

Just remembered one other... can't remember his name but he was an off-kilter cult comedian/singer songwriter, Scottish I think, and he did some song whilst the young ones were all sleeping rough in a backyard, slapping his head and a money pouch wrapped round his front. Great ditty.

John Otway.

John Otway.

That's the fella! Was wracking my brains.

Look, dawn's coming up.

Hi, dawn.

 

[wz4jc3]

The revision scene on the train is without doubt one of, if not my favourite scenes ever!

[LanceLink!!!!!]

MAN #2: Anything yet, Mr. B?

MAN #1: Nope. No, nothing!

MAN #2: Well, there must be something!

MAN #1: Nope! Not a sausage! Look, why won't you let me take the lens cap off?

MAN #2: Because they're not real binocoliers ! There's no point in taking them off!

MAN #1: Well, why can't we have a real pair of binocoliers for a change?

MAN #2: Because then the aliens would know that we're watching them, wouldn't they?

MAN #1: But, we're not watching them!

MAN #2: Yeah, but they're not to know that, are they?

MAN #1: This may sound like a stupid question: Lip nip nip nip bip?

MAN #2: Yes, it does.

MAN #1: I thought so. Look, what are we really doing here? Really?

MAN #2: Look, don't ask me! Ask the Manpower Services Commission!





To this day, I still say the word binoculars as it's said in this sketch, binocoliers .

[Mivi]

Whenever someone says "Oh! Is that the time!?"

I still reply with; No, time is an abstract concept. That is a wristwatch/clock

[Shanklygates]

Bambi was always my favourite episode as a kid, esp the bit with Vyvyan's head on the track and his body spouting blood trying to find it

And in the final episode when they're all sitting in the garden. Rik: "Strange, how a ruthless sadistic young maniac like Vyvyan should care for a begonia"

Boomshanka!

Crop rotation in the 14th Century. "Oooh, don't tell me"

Mike: Rick, Your parents died this morning.

Rick: My parents are dead? I can't believe it.

Neil: And you think that's bad?

Rick: Well yes I do actually what's it to you piss face?

To this day, I still say the word binoculars as it's said in this sketch, binocoliers .

So do I! So much so that the properly pronounced version I get tongue tied with. I just keep wanting to put that 'L' in there. It's daft the number of phrases, and nuances have become part of my natural vocabulary from the young ones. If I'm asked the time by the wife I'll occasionally put on a lit face and say 'half past 5!'. In the clip above, I'll sometimes pause between 'bugger' and 'all'. Little things like... 'I've got all the Sunday Papers to get through.' ('I'm going out to get the papers get the papers' from Goodfellas appears too). Coca Cola cans in fridges... 'I bet you someone drinks that.'... 'Ooooh naaah.... not enough colour y'know what I mean?'

My brother shared a flat with the 'Bastard's the name, but you can call me Right Bleeding, all my friends do, well did' TV detector man actor at the time. I thought that was amazing. 'No more telly'.

Little bits just crop up idly in conversation, and you do it just to amuse yourself.


Finally... who's been tampering with my question cards?

[Filler.]

I used to hold a cassette recorder up to the tv speaker, and would listen to it endlessly. There was always that one fella 'in the audience' with the loudest laugh.

Loved this:

and can't find the 'choo choo train's gonna break his back... we used to call him spot, but now he's called splat... that's the kind of persons we areeee. Oh baby won't you come home with me.

[LanceLink!!!!!]

What's a Ftumch?

[Sir Harvest Fields]

Ive actually got the rather racist version of this. The cornflakes one, or is that standard?

[Raheems Baby Boy]

i love this but its dated badly, doesnt stand the test of time, still love it though.

[Motty]

Loved the Young ones, it doesn't make me laugh as much as it used to but it's still good.
Best bit for me was when theres a gap in the stairs and the council inspector (?) walks down ,falls through, lands on his feet and just looks around like WTF then just continues to talk loads of others cone to mind too
My mate used to always put the videos on when we come back from a club, me and him would be pissing ourselves but a lot of the others (especially the females) fucking hated it.

Used to love Rab C Nesbitt aswell

Cornflakes for breakfast!? That's disgusting. There was that little 'back of the cornflakes pack' sketch too... 'Tent... Camp... Gay. Now you've got to admit, that is funny.'


And who remembers the blip-verts? I can the green frog and I can see credits to some movie, and that's about it.

[Only Me]

Hey Viv, You dancing?

You asking?

I'm asking!

Well piss off.

[LanceLink!!!!!]

Sausages and plants and goldfish

That's white man's electricity you're burning ringing that bell..... Oh sorry John thought you were a .........

I believe it's been taken out of repeats on the TV - i think they've got rid of it on the DVD's as well (I know Filthy, Rich and Catflap was cut to fuck when that finally appeared).  Might still find it on the internet. 

[Motty]

It's not a Ferret its a pig!

[Filler.]

Sausages and plants and goldfish

A best mate from school put out an EP called 'Sausages, Plants and Goldfish.'


I don't fly on planes much anymore, but when you're belted up, and the wife is next to you and you're about to set off, and she's nervous, and you're trying not to be nervous for her sake and playing it cool - just thinking about the gin and tonic that you'll need in 15 minutes time... with a straight face, 'Wow... I really hope we don't have a crash.'

Yea thats the one, ive got it on video somewhere

They're dubbing that sound on that's never real

[Ziltoid]

Yea thats the one, ive got it on video somewhere

"oooh, have we got a video?"

[LanceLink!!!!!]

RICK: [worriedly]: What are you doing down there, Neil?
NEIL: [sounding depressed]: Queuing.

RICK: How long have you been there?

NEIL: 30 years.

RICK: You've been listening, haven't you Neil? You've been squatting there listening to what I've been doing in the bath! Is that how you get your kicks these days? It is, isn't it, you little perv-y!

NEIL: I wasn't listening. Anyway, what were you doing?

RICK: I wasn't doing anything.

NEIL: Well, I can't have heard anything, can I?

RICK: And anyway Neil, don't think that me, Mike and Vyvyan don't know exactly what you get up to in there. So I wouldn't go around spilling the beans if I was you!

NEIL: [now very worried]: What do you know about the beans?

[Sir Harvest Fields]

"oooh, have we got a video?"

YES WE'VE GOT A VIDEO.

[LanceLink!!!!!]

I reckon a decent percentage of 40-45 year old blokes in Britain will know the scripts of The Young Ones inside out, we can all share this together along with the love of Joey Deacon.

[Sir Harvest Fields]

Oooohhhhhh ive not heard that name for a very long time. Hell of an insult if i was called him at school. How times change. ( for the better obviously )

[Motty]

"oooh, have we got a video?"

I still say that anytime someone says the word video along with when someone says 'exaggeration' then I always come out with the 'i've told you a million times don't exaggerate' and anyone called Helen is automatically in my head Helen Back

For some unexplained reason I also say at totally random moments 'see you teddy bear come here',  'i've got a Porsche, ha' and 'we sow the seeds etc'

Drugs and alcohol have a lot to answer for

Do you really think that anyone has ever been the slightest bit interested in anything you say or do ever?

[Yozza1]

Wouldn't it be terrible if we had to eat each other? Ermm like on that programme we ended up having to eat each other

[Thush]

Hands up who likes me!

[Sir Harvest Fields]

Right , thats it. Im going to kill myself then you'll be sorry.

[Thush]

Vyvyan, can you actually kill yourself with laxatives?

[afc tukrish]

I forget the episode specifics, but they were on some sort of game show, and someone had spray-painted a "P" in front of Rik's name.

Laughed for days at that one...
