The Young Ones

[Simster]

You have to say, it really is a timeless and quality comedy. I remember being at Shrewsbury in our first championship year, and this steward walked past with his walkie talkie on full blast. After he went past, this Albion fan shouts "Charlie Tango Teakettle barbecue *chrr*" and about 6 of us pissed ourselves laughing. And who can forget "'Do Not lean out of the window'. I wonder why?"

Anyway, which Albion player is most likely to be a big Young Ones fan?

Guy Butters.

[Big Rob]

[Man of Harveys]

Let's have a greatest episode POLL - I don't think I can remember them all. Only around 12 all together, I think:

House - the one where Neil crucifies himself to protest at their house being demolished.
Party - "that's just typical - five minutes to go til the most important party of my life and half the house gets squashed by a giant SAMWICH"
Bored - "the king is bored SHITLESS with interesting things to do"
Nasty - "I'm not a vampire, I'm a driving instructor from Johannesburg"

Further contributions welcome and needed...

I like the one where they think they have a ghost and Mike nails down the plates. For some reason they saw off the legs on his chair and think he is floating but it turns out he has also nailed his legs to the table. I always remember that bit for some reason, it made me piss myself.

Bad error on my part, I can only apologise - doesn't he read out a People's Poet poem as they move in?

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Neil: Guys, guys, guys, I think I've solved our money problem. I'm writing to my bank manager. See what you think... "Dear Bank Manager."
Mike: Yeah?
Neil: Well, that's it. I'm quite pleased with it so far, though.
Mike: Oh, well, it's a strong opening, certainly.
Vyvyan: I don't like the "dear." Sounds a bit too much like, "Will you go to bed with me?"
Mike: Well spoken, Vyvyan. What do you think instead?
Vyvyan: Uh, what about..."darling?
[everyone concurs]
Neil: [writing] "Darling Bank Manager..."
Rick: No, no, no, no, no, not "Bank Manager," it's far too crawly bum-lick. Tell it like it is, put "Fascist Bullyboy!"
Neil: "Darling Fascist Bullyboy..."
Mike: That's nice, yes, so far so good. So what do you want to say?
Neil: Well, basically, I want to ask him if I can have, like, an extension on my overdraft, but I know there must be a better way of putting it than that.
Mike: Well, what about, "Give me some more money"?
Vyvyan: ..."You bastard!"
Neil: Don't you think that's a bit strong?
Mike: Ah, Neil, people like that respect strength.
Neil: Yeah, you're right. Uh, "Darling Fascist Bullyboy, Give me some more money, you bastard..." Uh... "Love, Neil."
Vyvyan: Not "Love, Neil"! That sounds far too much like, "Come and get it like a bitch-funky sex machine!"
Neil: Yeah, you're right...Uh, what about, "Yours sincerely"?
Rick: Oh, come off it, Neil. If you're going to be that sycophantic, why don't you go 'round there now and stick your tongue straight down the back of his trousers?
Neil: Oh, look, I know, I know, why not "Boom Shanka"? It means, "May the seed of your loin be fruitful in the belly of your woman."
Mike: He'll never understand "Boom Shanka," you'll have to write the whole thing out.
Neil: Right, okay, here we go. "Darling Fascist Bullyboy, Give me some more money, you bastard. May the seed of your loin be fruitful in the belly of your woman, Neil."
Rick: Well, if that doesn't work, I don't know what will.

Pollution.
All around.
Sometimes up.
Sometimes down.
But always
Around.

Pollution,
Are you coming to MY town?
Or am I coming to yours?
Ha!
We're on different buses, pollution.
But we're both using...petrol.

I was in New York a couple of weeks back and we walked into this proper TIDY roof top bar. The sort behind the bar asks what I'd like and for some reason for no real reason, I found myself putting on a Viv voice and saying "Could I have a cup of sugar please"

How I laughed at my own joke.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Party is quality.

"Oh ha ha Neil... big bloody joke" is one of the best lines ever.. And

"Hi girls.. want to see how many press-ups I can do?"

 

[aftershavedave]

am i on my own when i say that it's terribly dated?

 

[Stumpy Tim]

There's a dead rat in here.... great!
