Young Ones by a mile.
Totally caught the mood of the disaffected youth at the time and very funny.

Was watching Young ones and Bottom tonight. Brilliant. Gets better the more pissed you get. Especially on a few beers and 2 Bottles of Chilean Red.

I never really got keen on Bottom but the Young Ones was totally fantastic as I said previously.
It really is very funny and was a great platform for the youth of the time.
I always remember, very nostalgically, my mum saying it's not funny they shout all the time and I just used to say "listen" it really is what I feel and think, get a grip the youth are fed up with Thatcher.
Very political at times but hit the nail on the head as well.

Harry Enfield?
Was great at the time but it looks terrible and unfunny if you watch it now. Young ones is timeless. Bottom was the same without the political references to "THATCH".
Neil is digging a grave.....
Woman: "excuse me, do you dig graves?"
Neil : "Yeah I think they're alright"

Totally agree with you Beach. I was 8-10 when they first came out. My mum banned me from watching them. So after school we'd all go round to my mates house 2 doors up and they had a Video. So my mates older brother used to tape them right, so we'd watch them there anyway. Which brings me to "Ohh have we got a Video?"
"YES WE'VE GOT A VIDEO!"
"YES WE'VE GOT A VIDEO!"

I've just bought the 2 series of the Young Ones on DVD. Absolutely priceless.
Neil: "The worlds biggest bottom burp?"
Rick: "Vivian Brittain!"
Neil: "it says Rick here"

I love the one with the TV detector man.
Neil " I've told him we haven't got a telly and thats thrown him a bit, but it won't hold him forever!"
TV Detector man " We know you've got a telly cause we detected it!"
Neil "oh, so you were like playing with me all along"
TVDM "yeah ofcourse, Bastards the name, but you can call me right bleeding, all my friends do."
TVDM goes into house, "Oh that old trick eh? eat the telly before I get to nick ya" "Well I know how to wait, and when that telly comes out the other end, Your nicked!"
TOP NOTCH

Or was it when he woke in bed with Helen Back (Jenifer Saunders)
"Just cause I was the raunchiest at the party last night"
and the reference to birds, chicks, women !
Or watching the black dot on the telly - still very funny.

I love the bit in the Very first one. The Ben Elton sketch of "young adults" tv shows on BBC2. Nosin' Aroun'

Or that classic line from Mike:

Sam, get hold of some Monty Python. The original offbeat wacky TV series. The Ministry Of Silly Walks - will never be equalled. The Lumberjack sketch. The Dead Parrot skit. Hell's Grannies. Upperclass Twit Of The Year. The Piranha Brothers. The Mason Sketch. Spam. The Cheese Shop Vignette. The Funniest Joke Ever Written.
Harry Enfield is not fit to scrub Python's underpants.

Albeit Harry Enfield created some very funny characters:
Loads of money, nice but dim Tim, that Barmen I forget his name, the Considerably Rich Man, Mr Grayson and Nicey and Smashie - don't knock them they were very funny.

Just waiting for someone who supports someone else to come on here and say that apparently all Albion fans like Bottom....
Bring it on.
