My sister and I couldn't wait for this show to air on MTV every week. We'd sneak out and get baked then tune in. Lots of laughs😅. I miss those days. She's passed now and these video remind me of those days. Thanks for posting this.

I'm sorry for your loss, I'm glad that the video can help bring back memories of happier times

Really puts you in perspective. When you start thinking "kids these days" and then you realise they have always been like that. Its not thems that changed, its you.

[@timothyspool1399]

These are fictional comedy characters. They also aren't kids.

Vyvyan’s appearance at 10:01. BEST. ENTRANCE. EVERRRRRRR!

My X girlfriend was from Bath England ,and we used to get stoned and watch this together, great show!!!😂

[@McRocket]

I remember watching this show waaaay back when and thinking 'it's only really funny sometimes...but MAN am I glad they made it'. It was just SO refreshing.

A co worker at a mexican restaurant said on a tuesday night we had to finish early and head to his place, to get high and watch the 2nd episode of the young ones ad free on the ABC at 11pm in Australia in 1984 or 1985. That bloke became a copper in the Northern Territory. 😂

14:28 Vyvyan headbutts the wall and actually moves the entire wall. Just a tiny bit.

[@cassidyho939]

Poor Neil- he really needs more love and respect. His room mates don't deserve him. At least Mike is decent to him....sometimes.

[@DerTodSoldat]

Vyvyan was the best!

[@cassidyho939]

Despite his violent outbursts he showed intelligence and an actual respect for his room mates and his mother.

[@danielwilliamson6180]

Mike is the worst Young One. He was so unfunny.

[@CelticSaint]

There has to be a 'straight guy' in any comedy for it to work. Mike was the straight guy. He was still funny though.

[@inkadinkadoodle]

I disagree...ALEXEI SAYLE was THE ABSOLUTE WORST...Mike is a distant second, compared to him! All that Russian accent crap...talk about UNFUNNY! :P

Alexei Sayle was about as funny as a dead chicken; the show slows to a crawl whenever he's on screen. Otherwise, a perfect classic of comedy!

[@ngdukic]

Christopher Ryan was the weak link, he's such a ham. I'll be stuffed if I know how he got a career on tv?

[@tingtong8781]

Nicholas Dukic, what career? Can you name anything else he has done?

[@ngdukic]

+Neil Liddle He was in a Comic Strip production and all 6 series of Absolutely Fabulous and in my opinion he was crap in all of them.

[@tingtong8781]

Nicholas Dukic, I stand corrected; but it demonstrates the lasting impression he created.

[@CelticSaint]

He was lucky to get the part. But please, don't demean someone. He was in the right place at the right time, and they needed a 'straight man'. He was only as good as the words he was given.

[@ngdukic]

+DEUS VULT No, he was only as good as his acting ability and that is pretty crap.

[@redweather6315]

The thing about a lot of these jokes isnt that theyre funny; the jokes are awful; just that the situations are so weird and stupid and awful, and the characters resort to puns.

[@danielwilliamson6180]

Different time the 1980s.

[@petermoore5550]

Kimber Weston Nutin' punny bout that!

[@jessicacaleno1998]

you then are very sad and don't get the wittiness that comes with the humour, its a shame.

[@mindfulclarity169]

Blame Ricks girlfriend for writing the boring bits she brought in all those stupid puppets and posters talking etc which was a good idea in theory but the jokes went nowhere like these rats stupid jokes but at least rick killed them with Neils grandfathers ukalele entirely made out of matchsticks on his death bed, 2 dogs talking about a nose bleed or some demented guy laughing stupidly in futumsh demon ep or sailors from and old painting. i think the only one that worked was the fly on the wall documentary crew but i bet Ben Elton did that one instead of her. So blame Ricks dick instead of using his bigger head and getting better writers. And Alexis Sale was totally non sequitur.

[@jodyhowell9164]

Mindfulclarity, I truly hope you are trolling. All the puppets and musical acts were Paul Jackson's doing because a variety show got more funding. So blaming Rik's libido on what you call jokes going nowhere is absolutely irrelevant. Lise Meyer wrote some of the best jokes on the show! And the small amount of time Alexei serves in each episode serve as comedic genius. And if this formula was so stupid, then why did the Family Guy rip off this entire formula and make himself rich in the meantime. Piss off you fucking wamker!
