The Young Ones	comment	A demented British comedy that ran from 1982 to 1984 about four impoverished nutcases sharing a squalid student house. Episodes were rambling and unstructured, frequently wandering off to unrelated comedy skits or musical numbers. Surreal and/or incomprehensible jokes were aplenty, frequently making light of the acrimonious political climate of 1980s Britain, and violent slapstick abounded. The action would often and suddenly shift into animation, claymation or some form of puppetry. Bands often appeared on the show to perform, usually completely at random (as a financial device, as the inclusion of music performances got the show classified as variety instead of light entertainment, thereby earning a higher budget). Numerous episodes ended with everybody dying, but coming back next time as if nothing happened.So basically, it's La Bohème meets The Three Stooges set in the early-to-mid 1980s. The show lasted two seasons, for a total of 12 episodes. The main characters were: (P)Rick (Rik Mayall): The hypocritical, Cliff Richard-loving lefty activist who was convinced that he was a Marxist rebel, a poetic genius, the voice of an entire generation and the most well-liked and attractive member of the household... and who was spectacularly wrong on all counts. Vyvyan Basterd (Adrian Edmondson): The strangely child-like and psychotic punk rocker who couldn't go an entire episode without destroying something — or, usually, several somethings. Neil Pye (Nigel Planer): The whining, put-upon and suicidal hippie who acted as the dogsbody for the entire house and was (accurately) convinced that no one liked him and that everyone was out to get him. Mike "The-Cool-Person" (Christopher Ryan): The de-facto leader and (would-be) Charmer of the flat; a smooth, flash and mysterious con-artist who tried it on with every girl he came across, but never actually got it to work. The Balowski Family (Alexei Sayle): An entire family all played (on separate occasions) by one man; various Balowskis of varying degrees of sanity appeared, but the most common was the boys' eccentric Polish-emigre (or so he'd have you believe, anyway) landlord Jerzei. The running gag of Sayle playing a Balowski was dropped in the second season as it became harder and harder to write one into an episode. If a one-off character had a large enough number of lines, it was given to Sayle regardless of surname; although this was occasionally lampshaded, as Jerzei appeared twice that season and one of the boys would offhandedly remark "You look a bit like my landlord" to a Sayle character.Worth a mention as a show which never relied on cliché to any extent; any tropes that popped up were usually subverted and double-subverted within minutes, if not seconds. The entire premise of the series, such as it was, was a particularly odd subversion of the Dysfunctional Family trope. Its spiritual descendant, Bottom — basically Mayall and Edmondson playing even more unpleasant Expies of their Young Ones characters — premiered in 1991.Not to be confused with the 1961 film starring Cliff Richard (if not his song of the same name, a cover of which is the show's theme).

The Young Ones / int_10dcbe05	type	Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other
The Young Ones / int_10dcbe05	comment	Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Oddly enough, this happens between Vyvyan and SPG - despite the violence owner and pet display towards each other, Vyvyan is still devastated when SPG falls asleep on the radiator and dies in "Summer Holiday." Happens very briefly in "Oil" between Vyvyan and Rick. They're quietly watching TV together, then Rick gets up to go to bed and they wish each other "nighty night" without any of their usual malice and sarcasm. There's a very brief moment in "Bambi" when Neil starts crying when remembering the infamous scene where Bambi's mother died, and Rick seems rather concerned for a moment. In the very first episode ("Demolition"), the lady from the council who has come to oversee the demolition of their house politely asks Neil a question, making him freak out completely. Even though Rick has been pretty callous towards Neil the entire episode, he's surprisingly quick to come to his aid. (Of course, at the time he is protesting the demolition by crucifying himself on the façade, so maybe his priorities have temporarily shifted, but still.)

Thus, throughout the second season, the show inserted at least one "subliminal message" in each episode: a non-sequitur image flashed up on the screen for five frames.

When Mike, Vyv and Rick play strip poker in "Cash", Mike and Vyv instigate a rule that any player with the letter r in their name is only allowed one card, ensuring Rick loses every hand and must sacrifice a piece of clothing to the fire to keep them warm.

In the last episode, they look out the front their stolen bus, shout "AAGH! CLIFF!" and crash through a billboard poster of Cliff Richard...and over the edge of a cliff. The pirate radio station that's run by actual pirates. "Flood" includes a Running Gag involving literal versions of expressions for rain. First Vyvyan holds a cup out of the window, and when he puts it back in, it appears to have backwash in it - he reports it's "only spitting". Later, he does the same thing and finds it's "pissing" (the cup now full of yellow liquid). Finally, Neil comes in from the outside and is followed by a puppy and a kitten, which no one says anything about: It's raining cats and dogs.

Said fart is then ignited by Mike's cigar, and the resulting blast all but destroys the house. There's also Vyvyan's friends from the party who are wondering how one of them isn't pregnant after kissing a girl. And like Vyv himself, these friends are med students.

The Young Ones / int_392372f9	comment	Actor Allusion: In "Bambi", the challengers from "Footlights College, Oxbridge" are played by Ben Elton, Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie, and Emma Thompson. Thompson, Fry and Laurie know each other from their time in the Footlights Club at Cambridge University, and the plotline was inspired by Fry's appearance on the real University Challenge in his student days. "Bambi", whose bias toward Footlights College drives this part of the plot, is played by Griff Rhys-Jones, who was also in the Footlights Club. (The real life Bamber Gascoigne, who was the first host of University Challenge, was a member in the 1950s too.) Also, Tony Robinson appears as Dr. Not-the-Nine-O'Clock-News in an episode that has Mel Smith and Griff-Rhys Jones in it.

The Young Ones / int_39d96ba9	comment	Refuse to Rescue the Disliked: Neil gets a moment when Rick is being bounced off the ground by the roller disco doorman. Rick shouts at a passing Neil to help him, but Neil declines as now is the time to finish painting his astrological chart. Considering that their last encounter shortly before was Rick callously asking Neil if he thinks anyone in the house has ever the slightest interest in him, this probably influenced Neil's decision to ignore Rick's request.

The opening credits fade directly into the first scene, with a reverse Diegetic Switch employed — Rick is listening to the theme song on the radio. Rick and Vyvyan have shorter hair, and Vyv's is more obviously dyed, which is probably why the fandom is divided over whether or not red is his natural color. And the musical act, Nine Below Zero, performs live instead of lip-synching.

The book's canonicity has been debated. Played absolutely straight with Vyvyan (translates to "lively") Basterd, as well as with Rick Pratt (a synonym for "arse" and a slang term for a person of minimal intelligence and inflated ego). The TV detector man introduces himself as Bastard, "but you can call me Right Bleeding". No indication whether he's related to Vyvyan or not. Harry the Bastard is indeed a complete bastard. Neil the hippy's surname is given in the book as Pye. Pye was the name of the record company for whom 1960s singer Donovan, beloved of hippies, recorded.

Aside from a lampshade from 'Neil' about how he "doesn't feel himself today", this is never commented on, and they're back to their usual roles the very next scene. Combined with a bit of Stylistic Suck, as the actors aren't much good at playing each others' characters (exept maybe Edmondson as Mike and Mayall as Vyvyan). Edmondson's quip about laundry being Self-Deprecation rather than Mike's usual boastfulness suggests this is deliberate, not just poor acting. It is also a Casting Gag, as the actors were all going to play each other's roles at one point.

The Young Ones / int_a806691d	comment	Casanova Wannabe: Mike believes he is irresistible to women. However, in "Oil", we see that he merely creates this illusion by leaving women's underwear strewn around his room and playing a recording of a woman moaning "Oh, Mike!" repeatedly. In "Sick", he tries flirting with the girl at the chemist's by ordering £180 worth of Durex condoms, and a few seconds later we see her literally throw him out. Rick also believes all the ladies love him. Of course, he is very wrong. In "Nasty", it is confirmed that all four housemates are virgins. Due to a shared belief that vampires only attack virgins, Mike proposes the only solution: that all four of them lose their virginity to each other, right now.

Averted in later appearances after the show ended: By now he was sporting Wayfarers, a striped 2-piecer with shoulder pads. His hair was also updated as well. There's also Neil, who's a New-Age Retro Hippie who wears flared trousers in The '80s.

Then again, it's easy to feel sorry for him either way considering how he's The Chew Toy.

For example, "Time" ends with the lads sitting down to a game of cards as their house is invaded by a horde of mediaeval peasants, while "Sick" ends with the house set moving aside to reveal the set of a glitzy variety show hosted by Neil's parents and Brian, the Bolowski of the Week.

Good luck trying to catch them going to classes — although Rick studies occasionally, and all the cast sit their exams with Neil coming top. Lampshaded in "Boring", when Neil's suggestion that the guys should try alleviating their boredom by actually going in to university is greeted with aghast shock from the others. One on occasion, Rick actually does plan to attend a lecture, only to be informed that it's Saturday. On other occasions, it is implied that Mike doesn't study because he's either bribing or blackmailing his tutor (or possibly both).

First Vyvyan holds a cup out of the window, and when he puts it back in, it appears to have backwash in it - he reports it's "only spitting". Later, he does the same thing and finds it's "pissing" (the cup now full of yellow liquid). Finally, Neil comes in from the outside and is followed by a puppy and a kitten, which no one says anything about: It's raining cats and dogs.
