Cliff Richard & The Young Ones - Livin' Doll Reaction!

[@tompickles9798]

HAHAHA!!! Welcome to the epic world of alternative comedy of the 80s. Can't believe you did this. That was excellent

[@miriamhappe1066]

i cant believe cliff richards did that LOL. he got my respect for it :D

[@pcraenme]

The Young Ones! That brings back some memories of my childhood when the show was airing here in The Netherlands as well. They were hilarious! Some interesting note… Cliff Richard has a song called “The Young Ones”. So that is the link between them. 😁

[@mcfcguvnors]

"Shame about cliff richard" 1st line from an episode :/

[@wilco8729]

It's British and I'm dutch. I grow up with this song. Always fun to hear and sing. Even today on our radio we sometimes hear the song again. It's so mutch fun

[@emmap4168]

Haven’t seen this in ages. Crying with laughter again!

[@mademoisellekaya1438]

O my word! 😂😂 In Holland this was a big hit show too back then, never saw this performance and it totally cracked me up 😂👌 And you know what.. the mullet days are back under the youth.. for real 😁

[@emmap4168]

@@mademoisellekaya1438 I remember the days… Hilarious!

[@Bonglecat]

When Cliff does this song at his concerts now we all shout “get down!” at the appropriate point, it makes him laugh. Weird guy is Rick Mayall total comic genius, sadly died too soon. And the reference to Cliff doing Times was that he was in a West End musical called “Time”, the hair and pink suit were his costume.

[@vlinder6329]

Those good old days, Cliff Richard Is a great singer and popular all over the world 🌏 TOP 🔝 And I Like it. ❤️

[@renevw5812]

Now you opened a box...lol. You should look at The young ones or Bottom. Fantastic Britisch humor

[@jaccovalkenburg79vdaal]

This is cool . i rember this song for so long . its from my youth. 😂😂😂👍❤

[@knuffeldiertje]

I had a pen friend from London, but 12 years ago he passed away but still have contact with his parents, and his mother was background singer at Cliff Richard. They will come this or next year to Amsterdam to see me, for the first time after 30/31 years

[@EricvanDorp007]

Hour on hours i watched the young ones many years ago...again tears in my eyes...laughing and history this time...

[@clifffan3]

This single whas for charity. Cliff was 3 times no 1 with this song. I have that single signed by Clliff.

[@jono.pom-downunder]

Originally made as charity fundraiser for comic relief (red nose day). The young One's were anarchic 80s TV personified.

[@dennishendrikx3228]

When this song plays on the radio, it goes full blast, and I fall inline with the background "vocals". No shame.

[@jolandeverkroost-vanheemst1489]

Same here…😂

[@mcfcguvnors]

Fies my soul :D

[@Colin-mc4ml]

Britain's answer to Elvis Presley, Sir Cliff Richard started off in the 1950s singing rock n roll, like Elvis made Musical Movies in the 1960s, the most well known movie Summer Holiday and had a major hit with the song Summer Holiday. He represented the UK twice in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1968 with the song Congratulations coming 2nd, which was a major hit across Europe & in 1973 with the song Power to All Our Friends. Cliff holds the record for having a hit record in every decade since the 1950s. He has performed Congratulations outside Buckingham Palace at times of national celebrations and performed Congratulations' at the seventieth birthday celebrations of Queen Margrethe II in Denmark.

[@makkie211175]

you really have to watch the young ones to understand this. Also the original clip has so much funny stuff in it where the young ones take over Cliff his song completely. so funny, especially when adrian was it, not sure, knocks everyone out with a sledgehammer.

[@bjornr1120]

I can still remember the clip when this song came out.. so hilarious 😂 especially when they they beat the crap out of each other. 😅

[@royferguson2297]

Cliff has had an Album in the charts in eight decades.

[@yeddahmoi8905]

Great to hear and see them after all these years!🤣🤣

[@LogiForce86]

This actually was a number 1 hit in the Dutch Top40 for 4 weeks in 1986, and even in 2008 it still made the Dutch Evergreen Top 1000 as the number 2 song on the chart. 😅

[@danieljodrey8863]

As a Beatles fan I've heard of Cliff Richards long long ago. True confession I've never really listened to him. Back in the day we didn't have Google and KZbin to look up anyone we wanted to. Guess I'm going to have to remedy my lack now that I have these things. So much to do. Lol.

[@yvkon]

Surely you heard of the Shadows back then. Apache was epic. (My dad is also a Beatles fan, but Apache that is in a league of its own!)

[@lameaker]

My two sons were going through puberty when this was a hit and assigned chores like washing the dishes weren't high on their list of priorities. The radio was allowed to play loudly and when this hit was played again, they shouted along loudly - so loud that the neighbors hung over the fence to see if everything was okay...and laughed heartily at the sight of so much acting talent while the job was completed without damage. Thanks for the upload and the memory it brought back.

[@yvkon]

Ah yes Sir Cliff (he was knighted in 1995). The British counterpart to Elvis in his day. He has participated in Eurovision twice. His later work is very different though, very gospel inspired. He also played Heathcliff in a musical of Wuthering Heights called Heathcliff I believe.

[@moniquev.jaarsveld1353]

When this was on tv or radio/i was heard laughing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 Much fun.

[@marriebarrie77]

Oh the young ones it was braodcast in the Netherlands too. I think that the original videoclip is funnier then this show

[@silviagrendelman8212]

Time for my daily portion hxc . Thank you for some passion and smiles in my day. Just thanks for being you.

[@SAMUDRAMAC]

This song was a big hit in the Dutch chats. Hilarious

[@zeffie100]

Its was number one in '86

[@roeliencloin-wolthuis5603]

We have a Dutch radio dj, Gerard Ekdom, he can karaoke the song, also the background singers. He is briljant!!

[@Soulvex]

Legends.

[@ingridwatsup9671]

Hahaha loved watching you in creases! And now I miss the British humor like Black Adder and Faulty Towers!

[@Bas_Geurts]

Did my mom ask you to do this song? She is the biggest Dutch Cliff Richard fan haha

[@yvkon]

Really? Well then she must know my mom's cousin. I always thought she was Cliffs biggest Dutch fan. She travels all over to attend his gigs.

[@andyhorvath6630]

Unforgettable!

[@malliegirl]

They took out the best part. The instrumental break part is so funny

[@tuproc61]

British comedy is hilarious it makes me laugh so much, just like you seem to enjoy it.

[@the.g9114]

for me the video clip is even more hilarious to watch 😂

[@johanvoerhuis7373]

The Young ones. They where the best.

[@clifffan3]

Cliff whas in the __musical Time-- at that moment , thats why his long hair. He toke the rol over from Freddy Mercury

[@Linda-hs1lk]

The Young Ones were hilarious. There's enough to find on YT. I remember one scene that made me laugh so hard I was almost on the floor. Something had happened to Neil and suddenly he took his wig off and said "LOOK I'M SO STRESSED I'M MOULTING!' Hilarious.

[@tropenkindje1]

You really should watch the original video. When it first was broadcasted on tv, I cried of laughter. It was so funny

[@throughthewindowpane]

I missed the instrumental break in this video, that is in the original…

[@martinestehouwer8505]

what instruments want you to break?

[@throughthewindowpane]

@@martinestehouwer8505 Piano! Violin! Didgeridoo!

[@lesliebates22]

🤣😆 thid was differnentbut veru funny. I needed that laugh. Yhat was a really big audience. That was a great description when you said the were like cartoon chatacters.

[@theglanconer6463]

The young ones. God I miss those guys

[@willekevandijken3930]

I Love this 🤣

[@rayvanes1]

Look up bottom , humor on top

[@jacinthehoogerbeets45]

Funniest thing ever!!!!!!!!!!! The tv show was hilarious 😂 😂😂😂😂

[@tozzilil]

I had this song on vinyl lol

[@eve7093]

Please react to an episode of the young ones 👍🏼

[@mervinmannas7671]

When you stopped the video on the bottom of your screen was a link to the Marsh Family. They were and ordinary Brtish family Dad, Mum, two boys two girls and a dog. They decided to do a silly version of One More Day from les Mis but changed the lyrics to suit the lockdown and Covid. It went viral and they have since done thier own versions of loads of thers changing the words. My other two favourites are their versions of The Lion Sleeps Tnight and I Know Him So Well from th emusical Chess. You must must must check out the original as you love Les Mis.

[@weertangel7231]

First time seeing a live performance of this song, though the recorded version is alot of fun as well.

[@damienmaynard8892]

These guys did a comedy about a 'evvy metal band called "Bad News" - if you can find it, try their cover of "Bohemian Rhapsody" (with Brian May!) so bad it's great!

[@aniet1641]

OMG i love this stuff , please check out monty python always look on the bright side of life. Geen things get tough i always sing this

[@dutchman7623]

Yep! Always look on the bright side of death!

[@grabtharshammer]

Think you might have missed that one. He was talking to the people sat in the upper circle when he said jump

[@TheoWillemse]

hahaha... you will not be going to one of these shows... This was ages ago 😅 Funny you've never seen or heard this! It's even before my time!

[@roeloftooms]

The most funny episodes are the VCR and doing the laundry. Before the young ones they did the dangerous brothers doing all kind of dangerous stunts anafter the young ones they did the serie Bottom.

[@Hansen710]

Rik Mayall was one of the best where would the world be without young ones and bottom

[@Linda-hs1lk]

NEEIIIIILLLLLL

[@Rhianalanthula]

You forget how good Ade is at playing the guitar.

[@pamelariker5525]

Classic lol😂

[@wepsTRX]

Lovely funny show 🤣🤪🤘 Love to see your reaction when you already know what's coming 🤣👍 btw I think you should also see the original music video.

[@black4pienus]

You should check out some episodes of the Young Ones. Doesn't have to be a reaction vid. Just for your own entertainment. They're pretty funny.

[@professornuke7562]

Adrian Edmonson (Eddie Monsoon/Hitler), and his wife is the Fairy Godmother from Shrek)) has billed himself as a "folk mandolin player". His band toured Brisbane, Queensland Australia one time, and a girl I know, lead singer from Flangipannies (look em' up), asked old Vyvyan to sign her boob (I think she was planning a tattoo) and he said something like "no, I'll need a bigger felt-tip" From memory she did, he did and the tattoo happened. Jodiflange...are you here?

[@SAMUDRAMAC]

In their weekly sitcom these guys were roommates in a small apartment. Total mess!!! Hahahaha!!!!!!!’

[@djokealtena2538]

It used to be a gag of one of the Dutch radiodj's to play Living Doll during a christmas special yearly fundraiser event (Het Glazen Huis). The amount of money that had to be collected before he would do the song Living Doll and lipsync it (since the event was televized) grew every year to the point it was beyond ridiculous. Almost as if it was a dare to the Dutch people like "yeah you won't be able to raise that much for one lousy song nor that crazy." Year after year we proved him wrong.

[@truus5653]

hilarious LOL ha ha ha ha ha

[@Gdpud]

"Thigh's my soul!!?"

[@tozzilil]

There’s actually a music video for this too

[@denisedale4125]

The four are from TV show called the young ones

[@warre1]

Oh my god that mullet.

[@mrflappie6553]

If this is your first encounter with the Young Ones, you should do a react to a proper episode of the show. And while you're at it have a go at Bottom as well. Insane British humor :)

[@joyspirationx]

Please do thin lizzy- still in love with you live ! it's beautiful

[@Iflie]

This is the first song I remember loving as a little kid and now I'm old/er I'm wondering why my mom was letting us watch The Young Ones, it was so rude all the time, haha. I'm dutch though so that's probably why. I though it was a song about a doll.

[@LouiseAnnHalliday]

R.I.P Risk Mayall.

[@Linda-hs1lk]

Rik Mayall was fantastic. Such a shame he died far too young.

[@share-a-way2158]

He was brilliant indeed! Alan B’Stard was my favourite one! You know what I mean!

[@mcfcguvnors]

you must watch the Young Ones

[@georgeowain]

You should try reacting to the actual music vid they did if you haven’t already.

[@norbertzillatron3456]

Rik Mayall et al. also did a TV series about a heavy metal band called "Bad News". Check out their massacre of the iconic "Bohemian Rhapsody" - directed (and guitar butchered) by Brian May. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpOWdWqJm8x-o5Y Full album: kzbin.info/aero/PL0522DC9B02176A26

[@Thymdavia]

Okay, let me summarise, You like Dutch related stuff, you like entertainment, and even Comedy now, I would recommend John Fealey, British comedian, who explains some Dutch facts in his comedy act to a Dutch audience, it is dated but still funny. If you are Dutch you will recognise it straith away. If you are from abroad, you will laugh your *ss off. Please check The Comedy Factory: Zakje , John Fealey; kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYilkJisZcl-btE and Koninginnedag kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3yUp6OLbdutiNU. I had personally the pleasure to meet him in Scheveningen with a Tastycomedy concept where he explained how we use the word "Lekker" all the time (for food, for nice looking people, for expressing our vibes and a lot of other expleanations) It was brilliant, a shame not too much made the internet. He came too early, in these times he could have made good money with this comedy.

[@sociallyferal4237]

I do like how Cliff Richard was having trouble keeping a straight face throughout the song. You might also have gotten a bit more out of it if you had seen any of the Young Ones tv show the other characters were from. At least their antics may have made more sense for you.

[@TheBearUK]

Seen completely out of context, you need to see the Young ones comedy series, the original chart hit, then understand that this is a mix for charity, this was being preformed at the charity gig, but best viewing the music video

[@Doaria]

🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
