the young ones BOMB part 1 of 3

episode 4 series 1
original airdate 30 November 1982

[@jtpinnyc]

Me and my brother used to record the audio of The Young Ones by putting a tape recorder near the TV speaker. This was before we had a VCR. We'd listen to the cassettes over and over. It seemed to be just as funny without the visuals.

[@shaunthesheep24]

RIP from your neighbors in Ireland Rik Mayall. Out of all the English Comedians, you were always one of the best in my book.

[@MegaMidgetNinja]

One of the nicest coversations Vyvyan and Neil has had!

[@antond12312]

Wow, the nostalgia. I used to watch this with my dad when i was like, 7-10 years old.

[@sylvester-jb3lj]

good to see Lord Flash as a teenager...RIP Rik.....

[@knobby1968]

Always in our hearts Rick. 1958 - 2014 RIP

[@fredfinks]

Holy crap, never noticed the guy before. I've seen the series many times since the 80's. TV, VHS, DVD.. Amazing

[@RUDI-UK]

Thanks for making me piss myself laughing through one of the most depressing decades of my life. Rest In Peace Rik

[@captainobvious.29yearsago70]

Lol he really didn't know 2020 was coming did he

[@jeffmcdermott3193]

"...really QUICKLY, okay?" 😆 This is the first episode I ever saw of TYO. Vyvyan was almost sedate and even-keeled, in this one. Until he takes the sledgehammer to the warhead, that is.

[@coxyefc]

The alarm clock noise always makes me chuckle

[@kenmills30]

That kid on the cornflakes packet was the well respected fictional character stuck up the chimney in the party episode.

[@deedee_31]

yeaaah i still hve a vhs of this i loved thm all especially Neil and the reggae band ammanzooloo got so much love so much love

[@Vladimir_The_Impaler]

R.I.P Rik Mayall I watched The young ones shows when i was only 7yrs old and each time i watch them i can remember word for word and its how i will always remember you

[@lars1701again]

lol I watched as a young teenager, i wished they'd have maken more.

[@calvinmaynardtmt]

Shut up, fascist bully-boy!!!!!!

[@lars1701again]

Calvin Maynard WHAT DEVASTATING REPARTEE, TALK ABOUT OSCAR WILDE

[@Pikashockdragon]

Marc P. Oscar Wilde was a famous playwright who was persecuted for his homosexuality and I don't the rest of the line. Xp

[@ollygee]

Same here, me and my sister had this vhs on repeat as kids

[@sassm8941]

Thanks for telling me about the new hole guys!

[@izzygallegos2745]

Why aren't these available in America!!!! We want to enjoy this too!!!!

[@dionwoollaston5717]

This one is my favourite especially how MIKE try's to sell the bomb

[@canefrogfury]

dion woollaston sister I did not like any of Mike's "contributions "

[@mischkabunny]

Vyvyan is relatively calm and agreeable in this one..

[@Satellite_Of_Love]

It must've been the effects of raw tea...

[@MantonioBanderas]

27 minutes and 32 seconds in the bathroom and Mike looks fantastic. XD

[@buddhafyre]

recently found the dvd set and have yet to stop laughing uncontrolably

[@calif1mc]

Rik, "It's very easy to sit on your backside, isn't it?", Vyvyan, "Not if you haven't got a bottom" LOL

[@CaesarInVa]

Rik's lameness is so spot on. He's the quint-essential, text-book illustration of the pseudo-intellectual university poet. Talentless, abstruse and un-original, his revolutionary cant is pure cliché. The writers nailed the personality perfectly!

[@kaymuldoon3575]

Rik Mayall himself wrote a lot of this (he and his then-girlfriend Lise Mayer). He was a comedic genius. RIP Rik.

[@Spameggssausage]

he's basically a conservative's idea of what liberals are like

[@SuperNoX86]

Just watched this on DVD. I love Young Ones, but I find Bottom just utterly hilarious. ''Now. Have you scrubbed your sprouts?''

[@MrHairyonions]

timeless, cheers for this fella, legend,

[@matthewgustafson5225]

This is the best episode ever. all of the best jokes are in this one. :)

[@xn0gaming]

[@Satellite_Of_Love]

[@trinityj1]

@MythicalPredator It's not canned laughter. It's a live audience.

[@CatLady999]

@deddlesknoxville Okay, thanks for clearing that up.

[@musicfromceefax]

[@CatLady999]

@markfundingsland It says Martial on it...the amps are named Marshall. Typo was a mistake?

[@haileyshannon7548]

Mike looks like he has Spongeob on his jammies!

[@GrogMindwhip]

Yes, in fact it's the same Amp that ended up blocking the door, when their landlord turned into an axe-wielding homicidal maniac by a potion (basically a cure).

[@deddlesknoxville]

'Bluebird' by Alan Hawkshaw i don't know if u got notification... 'musicfromceefax' answered the question :)

[@hodgepodgebuhgodge3739]
