Ketsbaia 0 Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Yes, the Young Ones just leaves me cold. I can barely raise a grin when I watch it these days. All except the University Challenge episode. Whereas, Dad's Army at least elicits the occasional chuckle: "They don't like it up 'em" "Don't panic, Mr Mainwaring" "Don't tell him, Pike!!" "Doomed! Doomed! We're all doomed" Untouchable. Agree with that. Young Ones was absolute shite. Gay Spacka Nonce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieMessiah 2 Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Another one by the way: The Thin Blue Line (appalling shite) Gimme Gimme Gimme (never understood what was so fucking funny btw?!)

Renton 20430 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Young Ones was great for its time but does come across as terribly dated now. Not its fault that comedy's moved on in the meantime - in a way, the fact that it was a blueprint for a lot of later stuff is a huge compliment but also very much the problem with it. University Challenge episode is still fantastic though, as mentioned. I agree completely its aged badly but its still funny in much more parts than just the Bambi episode. My favourite was the party one. The scene with Rick with the mousey telescope is one of the funniest of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps 4. Keeping Up Appearances. Your maths is friggin appalling! Agree on 3 of those however I like Two Pints, first time I saw it I thought it was shite now the repeats are quite good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Carr's Gloves 3711 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 COmedy is very subjective and alot of those are of their time. In years to come some people will slag off Seinfeld But some horrendous crimes against comedy have been comitted. Keeping up appearances. A horrid example of housewife TV. Home to roost. Butterflies I never liked it. Just turgid dross. But some classic comedy has come from the BBC which has been incredibly influential. The Young Ones. The punk of tv. The Reggie Perrin stuff. Completely anarchic and it's use of flashbacks and imagery still used. Rising Damp. How they got away with what they did is ubelievable. Fawlty Towers.
