I'd like to think that in 100 years time when we are all long gone that there will still be people watching an episode of The Young Ones for the first time and having a great laugh.

[@rickgonzalez3662]

I will forever will

[@pressureworks]

I hope that in the lead up to that 100 years, we will still be alive and well, just in order to keep watching !! Shut up Neil !

Dirty Clothes and Popularity | The Young Ones | BBC Studios 1324pm 20.2.23 i am aiming for 140 years of age. so in 90 years time i will recall your comment suggest this isn't the first time i have seen the young ones but i am still finding it amusing... the jokes are probably that old, anyway...

If the works of Shakespeare can survive all these years, surely this can too.

@@Aurochhunter Comments on ‘Dirty Clothes and Popularity | The Young Ones | BBC Studios’ 15.3.23 1939pm you're just fishing for a quote re: what the heck we're discussing... the topic of conversation is: decoding the young ones. so go and decode the cliff richard version, if you so wish... or, this, the aptly named tv sit-com of the debater's choosing... from dada subliminal piggies to slap stick fun - the era does seem to be europe 1930 something or other brought forth into contemporary setting. think shine on harvey moon without the swearing. funnily enough maggie steed's in this show...

I love how Richard Richard is the cynical adult version of the idealist teenager Rik.

"I'm gonna stay and find out"...absolutely classic!

Thanks for the laughs Rik. You'll be sorely missed.

Dirty Clothes and Popularity | The Young Ones | BBC Studios 1558pm 22.7.24 i didn't find it too hard tobelive. hence my ntot bothering after the first knock back ie: i can't be arsed asking again.... i mean, being a zero is preferable to masses of laxatives or a cornoray thrombosis which is where rick's heading should he carry on...................... in such a fashion.

[@NoName-ds5uq]

Ah, the “Bambi” episode! I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this over the decades! 🤣

[@ekaterinabalderdash1274]

I’m pretty much Rik. We were born one day apart. March 7th (Rik), March 8 (me). And....I met Ade in real life!!! (Rik, sadly, only in my dreams, sigh...) I made Ade laugh three times that evening. Proudest moments of my life!

[@maxdavies793]

"Does anyone want the last chickpea?" "I didn't even want the first one..." Is one of the best lines in ANY of these brilliant episodes! Mike's humour was genius 😂

[@macdaddybender]

It's an underrated gem of a line.

[@Lucifer.6.6.6.]

Rik... Nobody like you.. We all love you.

[@Rikairiify]

'Hands up who likes me?!'- I'd put my hands up!

[@dagwort]

I remember from long ago the first time I saw anything of The Young Ones, on the Curtis Mathes in the lobby of my college dorm: An MTV promo with a clip of Rick stuffing his face with pills as Neil wonders about lethal laxatives. I was hooked.

[@peterdavies2960]

If I was with them, I'd accidently raise my hand 😂

[@gideonmele1556]

As much as (p)Rik is a good laugh and enjoy the character, could you imagine actually having to live in the same place as him? I think we’d all quickly turn into Vyvs

[@Hal9000ize]

I’d rather live with Rik than Sheldon tbh

[@pressureworks]

Shut Neil, we all hate you.

[@barghest94]

I would hate living with any of them.

[@Aurochhunter]

True, I could probably stand the other 3, but Rik would annoy the 💩out of me.

[@barghest94]

@@Aurochhunter Vyvyan?

[@peterdavies2960]

Richie, Eddie and Hedgehog when they were teenage students 😂

[@TheEldritchHyena]

Considering these characters are supposed to be in college, I think it'd be more accurate to say when they were in their 20's.

[@user-vg1lv5tj2p]

This stays watchable always. I was like 12 when it came on first.

[@dude157]

Goodbye Rik,

[@darthsenate9506]

Makes me think that Rik and Eddie got a bit older in the young ones and still never actually grew up and then the two characters moved in together and that’s when bottom comes about

Why does Vyvyan rip the money? is it still useable?

I dont know about the UK, but in Sweden you can just tape it together and it is still valid, you can even get full value if you just have 2/3 of the note from the Swedish national bank.

The Young Ones were just so exciting and funny and brilliant. And yet, really and truly it was just filthy slapstick, with added Alexi. TV as loud and messy and anarchic as this would never get made now, because everyone overthinks everything.

[@gustinian]

1982 (date of 1st episode) minus 1958 (birth of Rick Mayall for example) equals 24 years old. So 10 years out. Hmm...

At what point in age/time is old? For instance If you are 100 mid 30s is very young.

I loved this in the 1980's, but it just hasn't stood the test of time for me. Too much banal slapstick. The only bits I still like is when animals and food scraps and washing machines come alive oh yeah, the landlord did good stand-up too. Oh yeah, the film clips by Madness, UK Squeeze etc too. But that's about it. The only two episodes I fondly remember were when Rick discovers a young Jennifer Saunders in his bed (and later rummages through her purse and makes fun of her tampon); and "University Challenge" ("I've got a Porsche!" "My daddy's going to buy me the Socialist Workers Party!", etc.) Yeah, there were a few more good bits - Rick trying to crucify himself and Neil explains that he already tried it and it just can't be done; and Neil asking one of them not to hurt his Marshall Stack: "Oh no, man, not the amp! Jimi Hendrix once pissed on that!" But that's about it.
