Comedy Classic was the Young Ones.

Loved the music too. Motorhead and The Damned were brilliant.

Alexi Sayle was my favorite also and i don't think he got much of a mention when i watched a show the other week chronicling the Young Ones and how it started etc. I suspected some kind of fallout between the rest of the cast and Sayle.

The lads hiding in a room from Alexi Sayle as Balowski the Vampire.

Rik: Go Away, your not coming in. Your a Vampire.

Balowski: No I'm not I'm a driving instructor.

Rik: Prove it. What do you do when going over a hump back bridge.

Balowski: Slow down your speed, Check your mirrors...Then rip out the Virgins throat!!!! Aaaaaaaghhhh bollocks!!!

Vyvyan: Could I borrow a cup of sugar please?

Neighbour: Another one? How many's that you've had? You'll rot your teeth you know.

Vyvyan: Yeah, I was a bit worried about that, so I had all mine kicked out before I came round. These are Neil's.

Woman: Do you dig graves?

Neil: Yeah, yeah, they're all right, yeah.

Vyvyan : "Ha, ha, ha. Rik is STILL a virgin"

Rik : "I am not a virgin, I am not a virgin. All right, all right. If I'm a virgin, how come I know what a girls bottom looks like ?"

Vyvyan : "From looking in the mirror"

Neil : "Oh, I wish Mike would hurry back with the cure"

Vyvyan : "No, Neil. It's Madness this week".

Neil: Come on guys, I don't think we should let this experience bring us down. After all, what's so wrong with dirty clothes anyway?

Rick: Yeah! you know, what they say - dirty pants, clean botty.

Mike: Dirty duvet, dirty mind.

Vyvyan: Yeah - my knickers are so old, it's only the stubborn understains that are holding them together.

I Love The Young Ones! Been watching them when they were on TV and love it. Rick, Neil and Vyv were hilarious..but i didn't really like 'Mike the cool person'. I didn't really find him funny...

There is one bit from the Young Ones which made me laugh so much..i mean i had tears in me eyes..

The University Challenge episode. The guy is reading the names of 'The Scumbag College'..It comes to Rick and the guy reads out 'Prick'.

Rick looks around and realises that Vyv has put a 'P' in front of his name!

Vyvyan : Well I've done my revision.

Mike : The Daily Mirror Book of Facts : Did You Know ?

Neil : "Do you think that's where they get the questions from ?"

"The world's record for sticking marshmallows up one single nostril ?"

Vyvyan : "Erm. 604. Toxteth O'Grady. USA"

Neil: Yeah, right! "World's stickiest bogey?"

Vyvyan: Ha! Tried to fool me. That's Toxteth again!

Rik: The World's Stupidest Bottom-Burp: Vyvyan, B-www-itain!

Neil: It says "Rick" here...

Rik: Give me that

Vyvyan: See, I've done my revision. I'm going off now to stuff loads and loads of paper down the toilet.

Ha that tampon bit is so funny. I remember just cringing when Rick was going on..

Loved it, Vivien losing his head ( after sticking it out of the train window ) then booting it along the railway track, shouting come here you bastard springs to mind.

Thats exactly what I think off!!! ha ha

Decided to dig this thread up again in the hope that someone knows the answer to this....

I know that the theme tune was the cast's version of "The Young Ones" but a different bit of music was played at the end of the episodes.

Does anyone know what it was, or, even better, know where I can find a link to a clip of it?

I remember really liking it at the time and it's doing my head in coz I can't remember how it goes. And the rest of the office too, coz none of us know!!

Wish they repeat some of the episodes again......

jambutty · « **Reply #61 on:** May 19, 2006, 02:16:39 pm »

Viv: 'I always poo before I get up'.

And shouting 'Shut up you bastards!' out the window at each peal of the churchbells.

Classic, cringeworthy characters.

Mike and Rick were the best, love it and got both on dvd. Quality when you are in the mood for it, but i once watched a whole series all the way through and i felt like a manic depressive afterwards for some reason.

Just a brilliant show, pretty ground breaking in it's day. Watched them all so many times.

Mr. Balowski - I've not always been mad, y'know, but um... I was actually driven mad by the indifference of architecture and council planners. Y'see I live in a tower block, and um, the thing about those is that there's terrible noise problems, because there's no noise insulation at all y'know, and 8 floors below you there's always some bastard who's got a Yamaha home organ, y'know. You're just about to go to sleep and you hear this doot-doot! chh-chh doot-doot! chh-chh chkdt BAH WA DAH BAH NAOW! doot-doot! chh-chh doot-doot! chh-chh! and like, the people who live upstairs from me, I can't understand what they're doing! Y'know I listen, and all I can hear is this weird noise and it goes voom voom, BLAT-NN BLAT-NN, voom voom, BLAT-NN BLAT-NN, and it sounds, right, it sounds like two elephants on a motorbike riding round and round, while a seal bangs a kipper on the table! I went upstairs to complain, and the door was answered by this elephant in a crash helmet! Standing behind him is this seal going "WHAT IS IT NOW, RALPH?"

"Neil, the bathroom's free.

Unlike the country under the Thatcherite junta."

Class programme, ahead of its time.

Was just the right age to love this to bits when it first came out. Anarchic, two fingers up to the world type stuff. Boss.

No cheating or googling, how many of the musical guests can you name?

I can recall;

Jools Holland doing subterranean homesick blues, complete with sign boards
Madness
The Damned doing Video nasty
Amazulu
Rip, Rigg and Panic
Motorhead doing Ace of spades

Stuck now.....

Funniest programme ever, imo. Never get bored of them.
I've used this quote by Rik a few times on the main board.
"Guys! Guys! Look at us! Squabbling! Bickering, like children. What's happened to us? We never used to be like this!"

Neil: You haven't got an MP, Rik. You're an anarchist.

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.
