Product description

Product Description

A mad, helter-skelter, rude, awesomely violent, unpredictable, swaggering, staggering, joyously infantile, exhilarating steamroller of a sitcom, The Young Ones provided the breakthrough for the new generation of aggressive and forthright 'alternative' comedians.

Join Rik, Vyv, Neil and Mike in their crazy and surreal comedy adventures!

Amazon.co.uk Review

It’s fair to say that when The Young Ones first blasted onto television screens, there’d never been anything quite like it. Yet the manic adventures of Rik, Neil, Vyvyan and Mike didn’t take long to gain an audience, and over 25 years later, the programme still enjoys a well-deserved cult-following.

Both series of The Young Ones are grouped together in this special DVD set, and there’s plenty to enjoy. In among the violence, the anarchic comedy, and the wonderful childishness of it all, are many, many belly laughs. How about when The Young Ones represented Scumbag College on University Challenge, for instance? Or Alexei Sayle’s Balowski family? Or the occasional break so a band could be worked in to play a song?

The influence of The Young Ones has been notable since it was first broadcast, not least in the spawning of its sequel-of-sorts, Bottom. Yet the two series here prove to be far more than an opportunity to see where a particular strand of comedy really began to gather pace. Instead, they still provide many bellies full of laughs, and it’s arguable that, in spite of the imitators it spawned, nothing has come close to The Young Ones since. And this DVD collection more than proves the point. --Jon Foster

Excellent 1980's political comedy. Still funny to this day, but if you lived as kid in these times you understood the implications of the world at this time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic 80s comedy that parents hated kids loved!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 July 2024

If like me grew up in the 80s this was the comedy show that every young person watched .

This was the show that launched Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson in the stratosphere as comedy legends, fireworks, music acts with the odd bit of violence from vivenne usually to Rick was the norm for this classic show that like Fawlty Towers only ran 2 series.

This series is not PC so if easily offended don't buy but for those that want to escape this crazy world right now and want a good laugh then it's a must have for anyone who grew up with this show to enjoy forevermore.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than I remembered!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 February 2023

Now here's an odd thing. I don't know how often the Young Ones was repeated after it had first been repeated, but maybe it wasn't much - I seem to remember it was A Big Deal when in the early-mid 90s comedy boom these were all shown on BBC 2. Then the DVD boom came, and yes, of course the repeats probably boosted sales. I watched them with my mates in the early 2000s but to be absolutely honest, we far preferred the Comic Strip and Bottom when it came to Rik and Ade.

Fast forward 20 years and it's Xmas, more or less the same group of friends except now we only see each other either twice a year or monthly - but today, we are all meeting up at mine to go out. I've got the Young Ones blu-ray sat on the table having just arrived. The weather is terrible, and I suggest we might just watch an episode waiting for the weather to improve...

To cut a long story short, we binge watched the whole lot, went to the local pub rather than town, ordered a curry and effectively stayed at home. Maybe it was the company but... these seem WAY funnier than we remembered, far more anarchic as I'd recall them, and with utterly crazy plots (perhaps more in Series 2) that belie the '4 blokes in a house' setup. We were howling with laughter after each stupid, hilarious line. Some stuff just doesn't seem as clever or funny now, Spaced being one that I can't believe leaves me a bit cold now, perhaps because of what Pegg turned into but who knows?

They DO look better, though don't expect miracles. The extras are a bit piled in as seems to be the fashion now, I guess it won't be long before streaming is all we have, will there even BE extras? The reel of presentations is good though and I don't think was on the DVD version. Recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars The greatest comedy tv show ever
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 October 2023
Verified Purchase
I can still remember the first time i watched the Young Ones in 1982. It was like nothing i had seen before. Absolutely hilarious, weirdly funny and just brilliant.
It was a sitcom like no other, the premise was based of four completely different students sharing a house. You never knew what was going to happen next. Apart from the interaction between the students, there was insert sketches that had nothing at all to do with the plots.
Also, the puppetry and animation were hilarious.
Flies on the wall making fly on the wall documentaries, cleaning products in the broom cupboard, a carrot and a chip skating on a plate.
This was my generation's Monty Python's Flying Circus. Rik Mayall, who co-wrote the show with Lise Mayer and Ben Elton, was the funniest man ever to appear on tv.
So glad to have my favourite ever show on Blu-ray.
I've read some reviews that say there is no difference between the Blu-ray picture and the dvd. This is total nonsense. I have the dvd collection and now the Blu-ray version and i can definitely see the better quality of the Blu-ray.
If you grew up with this great show, or want to know what all the fuss was about then i would definitely recommend you buy The Young Ones on Blu-ray. Brilliant.

5.0 out of 5 stars "LOOK OUT! CLIFF!!!!"
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 December 2022

The headline is final line in the final episode. A double joke. The bus they were on smashed through a billboard with Cliff Richards on it. Then as it went through the billboard. It went over a cliff. Typical Young Ones silliness. I remember watching it for the first time on TV. The woman at the end credits said that it was the last episode in the current series of The Young Ones. Guess they weren't to know at the time it was the last ever episode.

Some of the comedy is a little strange. I don't laugh at it. It's just added scenes that are completely out of the blue. So random in their inclusion. Sayles is the only one who comes across as lacking talent in any amount what so ever. It feels like he's trying too hard to be funny and fails at it in an epic manner. Good job the rest of the show holds up. Rik, Vyv, Mike and Neil they are the spine of the show. They stop it from flopping all over the shop. This show is a true one of a kind. It's escapism we badly need these days. It's too negative outside. Slap this on and forget about the outside world for a time.

This is how I'd see the situation go down today for the cast:

Rik "People better ruddy well buy this Blu-ray set. So we can spread the word of our plight. Stick it to the fascists and other Thatcherite types out there."

Neil "HEAVY MAN! Hey Rik what if we're oppressed enough through these latest rounds of communist inspired postal strikes. And the Blu-ray set is late man!"

Rik "Shut up, Neil! Before you jinx us with your stupid brain farts for thoughts."

5.0 out of 5 stars very funny British show from the 80s
Reviewed in the United States on 5 January 2024
Verified Purchase
4 different young men share a flat and go to college (I guess). Surreal and 4th wall breaking ensue. We have a con man, hippy, punk rocker and anarchist as the main guys. No US show would have this much socio-political type humor. Watched this on MTV back in the mid 80s, they wouldn't touch this now. Only ran 2 seasons with 12 total episodes. They tried a US remake but just an unaired pilot was made. Might sound dated today, it's very linked to the Thatcher era. But somehow it's still funny today.
