The Young Ones

[Rongi]

Oh my god, best show ever :D

If you haven't seen it before, it's a british comedy, that doesn't aim to make any sort of sense, about 4 guys sharing an apartment and tons of really strange and hillarious stuff happens.

Jixby had an avatar if vivian, a character on the show

[pjalne]

Vyv has the best entrance ever on tv and film.

[ziggytrix]

it's available on DVD. the one where they find a bomb in their kitchen is the best.

[Rongi]

yeah, my friend has the dvd. but it's like $50.00 so i can't afford it now

the music in it is really great too

I was fucking raised on The Young Ones.

I remember I used to stay up every Monday to watch BBC 2's comedy night and I spent the first 12 years of my life watching The Young Ones, Blackadder, Bottom, The Fast Show, Reeves & Mortimer, Harry Enfield & Chums, Rab C. Nesbitt, Red Dwarf, The Day Today and all the specials and other random crap they used to play along with them. I think a few of those would be painful to watch if I went back and viewed them those, but I guarantee that they were a million times funnier than anything the BBC is producing aside from The Office these days. I want those days back.

It doesn't make much sense, but it's a parody of the nauseatingly boring english sitcoms that came before, particularly The Good Life.

PS MORE PEOPLE NEED TO WATCH THE SERIES "BRASSEYE" IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY.

44 bucks, if it helps :/

deep discount dvd has it for $43, plus their reputation is better than dvd soon

[pjalne]

DVDSoon were pretty slow up until about a year ago, their past is probably haunting them. My friends and I must have ordered a hundred DVDs from them without any problems.

[Drev]

The way this sounds, it soudns like a live-action Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

[ziggytrix]

a live-action ATHF where the characters aren't food-products, or in New Jersey, or even in America, or possessing any powers, and the characters have distinct sterotypical personalities, and they have musical guests, and there are no mad scientists or aliens, , and the writing is actually funny even when you aren't stoned.

but other than all that, just the same, yeah.

[Rongi]

[Protoclown]

The Young Ones is fucking brilliant and I have to agree that Vyvyan's entrance in the first episode is the best character entrance EVER.
