When Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson were funny!
The Young ones must be rated as a classic. I know, if you watch it today, it is stuck in the eighties, but that's what makes it so 'BRILLIANT!!!'
It's one of those series which seemed like there was a lot more than 12 episodes made.
At the time, it was a breakthrough compared to your regular sitcom of it's time. They talked about sticky bogeys, farting and loved to just give each other a good kicking!
"Vyvyan you utter b*stard!" (Love it)
My favourite two episodes are, in 2nd place 'Bambi'. The one where they go on university challenge and get squished by a giant eclair!
and the train scene... VYV - DO NOT LEAN OUT OF THE WINDOW.... I WONDER WHY (head gets chopped off by a passing train!) VYV's HEAD - OVER HERE YOU b*stard!
My favourite though is 'Sick' They've all got a cold and Neil's nose is full "EVEN SPG's ALL COVERED IN SNOT!"
Then there's the riot in the street, caused by a sticky bogey (accompanied by 'Madness' singing 'Our House')
What more do you need apart from Neil coming back as zombies!

Great stuff - and you got to see The Damned doing the classic tune "Nasty" I loved the Narnia bit: Queen: Would you like some turkish delight? Viv: Not particularly - have you got any kebabs? N.

Remember this scene.....
Neil: Guys, guys, guys, I think I've solved our money problem. I'm writing to my bank manager. See what you think... "Dear Bank Manager." Mike: Yeah? Neil: Well, that's it. I'm quite pleased with it so far, though. Mike: Oh, well, it's a strong opening, certainly. Vyvyan: I don't like the "dear." Sounds a bit too much like, "Will you go to bed with me?" Mike: Well spoken, Vyvyan. What do you think instead? Vyvyan: Uh, what about..."darling? [everyone concurs] Neil: [writing] "Darling Bank Manager..." Rick: No, no, no, no, no, not "Bank Manager," it's far too crawly bum-lick. Tell it like it is, put "Fascist Bullyboy!" Neil: "Darling Fascist Bullyboy..." Mike: That's nice, yes, so far so good. So what do you want to say? Neil: Well, basically, I want to ask him if I can have, like, an extension on my overdraft, but I know there must be a better way of putting it than that. Mike: Well, what about, "Give me some more money"? Vyvyan: ..."You b*stard!" Neil: Don't you think that's a bit strong? Mike: Ah, Neil, people like that respect strength. Neil: Yeah, you're right. Uh, "Darling Fascist Bullyboy, Give me some more money, you b*stard..." Uh... "Love, Neil." Vyvyan: Not "Love, Neil"! That sounds far too much like, "Come and get it like a bitch-funky sex machine!" Neil: Yeah, you're right...Uh, what about, "Yours sincerely"? Rick: Oh, come off it, Neil. If you're going to be that sycophantic, why don't you go 'round there now and stick your tongue straight down the back of his trousers? Neil: Oh, look, I know, I know, why not "Boom Shanka"? It means, "May the seed of your loin be fruitful in the belly of your woman." Mike: He'll never understand "Boom Shanka," you'll have to write the whole thing out. Neil: Right, okay, here we go. "Darling Fascist Bullyboy, Give me some more money, you b*stard. May the seed of your loin be fruitful in the belly of your woman, Neil." Rick: Well, if that doesn't work, I don't know what will.

LOL!
I have to say, much as a like Bottom (The TV series, before Zygon makes any jokes), this was a lot funnier.

Well that's from where the characters developed! "OOOH, Have we got a video?"
"Yes We've got a video!"
