The Young Ones - Extra Stoopid Edition

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. With surreal comedic scenarios and a myriad of guest stars including Emma Thompson, and Hugh Laurie, and musical non sequiturs featuring Dexy's Midnight Runners and Motorhead, the style of The Young Ones gave the show its individuality, whi remains cutting edge to this day.

TYO-ESE

I was extremely happy with my purchase of The Young Ones- Every Stoopid Episode. My only regret is that only 12 episodes were made of the program. I had first seen this show some twenty odd years ago and was pleased to finally watch these at my own convenience, without commercial interruptions,these many years later. The one problem with this product was the special features disc. I found it rather boring with long-winded commentary. They should have included outtakes,gag reels, conversations with the stars of the show and what they're up to these days. November 14, 2008

Better than before

When The Young Ones were on MTV I was in my early teen. Now when I watch them I see and hear things I did not understand at the time. It is even better than before. It's a must have for everyone who ever watched The Young Ones growing up. The comedy is better and the music is just great! June 9, 2008

Briliant British Comedy!

Rik Mayall is a genius! He is undoubtedly "Bigger than Hitler, Better than Christ!"
I've been watching this Britcom since the 80s and even tho I've seen every episode at least 20 times, I still laugh out loud and continue to catch jokes I may have missed before.
You gotta watch Bottom, too! Simply Brilliant! March 12, 2008

A Hooting Good Time!

What's to say? This inane and wonderful spoof is also serious criticism as well as social commentary on the times when it was produced. We find it Britishly silly, and currently true most of the time. It takes a special kind of person to enjoy this humor, we admit. It's all we remember from watching it on the telly, and we're happy to have a hard copy; it hasn't been on our local stations in years. February 29, 2008

I'm too old

I bought this for my 19 year old. He didn't get past the first 10 minutes and said he was bored. I watched for 1 1/2 hours and realized that this was not that funny to me any more. Sorry Young Ones I sure did appreciate you in the 80's. I remember sneaking up late to the TV just so I could catch your episodes, but alas you are no more. Times have changed and lives move on. There MUST still be some fans out there. This is good comedy and written very good. I still advise everyone to buy it and give it a go. December 29, 2007
