 Buy it, Hippies! November 29, 2002
6 out of 8 found this review helpful
I was the ripe old age of 2 when this was first shown and consequently too young to remember it first time around. However, because it achieved classic status, and rightly so, it was repeated and I remember watching it when I was about 7 laughing hystericly at people falling over and being crushed by giant sandwhichs.
Now I'm the grand old age of 22 and can afford to buy it on DVD, and while I still laugh at people falling over and being crushed by giant sandwichs, I now actually "understand" the humour. I never realised back in those days of childhood just how ground breaking and political this sitcom actually was. The great thing about the Young Ones is the fact that it was so different. Other sitcoms of the time such as Allo Allo and Bread simply just aren't funny anymore. You could debate weather they were ever funny, but we won't just yet! The Young Ones was the Punk of the sitcom world. Everyone was quite happily watching pleasant sitcoms with pleasant characters doing everything in a plesantly twee way, then BAM! 4 discusting students arrive, beat each other up, discover oil, have they're house demolished, discover an atom bomb and have Dexy's Midnight Runners and Madness play in they're front room! Confused? You will be! The great thing is, although all the stories do have plots, they are so mind numbingly stupid and usually end in complete and utter farce! It's also quite amusing to see Kieth Allen and Hale and Pace looking so youthful! The DVD isn't packed with extras, there's no behind the scenes footage or interactive talking hamster game, but with comedy this great you don't need it! True it hasn't aged brilliantly but it's still one of the greatest comedies ever made and will go down in history as truely ground breaking. Buy it and be delighted and appaled in equal measures!
 Quite possibly the funnies series of the eighties November 6, 2000
