[Mellotron]

Welcome to the first of 4 quarter finals to determine the winner of NSC's UK Comedy Cup 2014.

Quarter Final ONE

===

The Young Ones

Narrowly made it past Yes, Minister in the Round of 16 after comfortably topping it's group, could this prove one match too far for The Young Ones?

vs.

Father Ted

Beat The Thick Of It without too much trouble despite close early voting. Plenty of fans on here for both shows.

​

Please use this chance to post VIDEOS and QUOTES of the comedy you are supporting. Make a case for why it deserves to progress.

 

[Bold Seagull]

Just genius writing. A well worn clip but I still laugh everytime!

 

[Frutos]

Father Ted, easily.

 

[Normal Rob]

Has to be the Young Ones for me, crude, clumsy and loud, it was brilliant for its time and had a huge influence over my growing up in the early 80's.

 

[Mowgli37]

The Young Ones, but only by a whisker. Votes currently at 16 for each

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

Currently 18 each, my vote for Father Ted has evened it up again !!

 

[Bladders]

Young Ones, over 30 years old and still being watched by the next generation.

Mention Father Ted and all you get is ''who''?

 

[Keeping The Dream Alive.]

What a chance for the relative minnows of Father Ted and The Young Ones to make an unlikely appearance at Wembley. With no league to worry about, there shouldn't be any misguided, disgruntled fans moaning about a 'weak' side being fielded. A tight affair looks on the cards.

The Young Ones involved Ben Elton so that's a NO from me, although TYO's having the mighty Motorhead performing Ace of Spades - well actually that entire Bambi episode - almost swung it their way.

 

[BN9 BHA]

Young Ones gets my vote.

 

[Man of Harveys]

Father Ted is pretty good. But the Young Ones reinvented the art form of the sitcom and gave me about 90% of my 12 year old vocabulary and silly facial expressions, so that should be walking it.

Ted

 

[Man of Harveys]

Good fixture, two top drawer qualities.

Father Ted is OBVIOUSLY better.

It very obviously isn't and that should be patently obvious.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Kicking Bishop Brennan up the arse.

Ted

 

[Surf's Up]

Father Ted No, no no.

 

[The Modfather]

C'mon Young Ones

 

[brakespear]

edit: so the ability ti start a video from a particular point still doesn't work in vBulletin? From about 36s (to avoid the music).

edit2: actually that could have been a better selection tbh.

 

[catfish]

Young Ones does it for me.

 

[Paddy B]

Whilst The Young Ones was required viewing to anyone of a certain age it wasn't actually always that funny. So for pure comedic reasons Father ted for me.

 

[Albion_Dave]

Young One's for me. There was nothing else like it when it came out. A real ground breaker.
