Letter to the bank manager - The Young Ones - BBC comedy

[BringItBackITV]

Why does this video never work for the first 40 odd seconds before suddenly playing, and you noticed that it can already play the first 40 second because of the grey bar. Weird.

[BringItBackITV]

P.S. isnt the big mystery the other hippy living with them?

[BringItBackITV]

I also saw one of those subliminal messages in the following episode, the horror one. It's a man (or woman, can just see hands) making pottery. I saw the flash and it took me ages to rewind and pause it at the right moment to see what it is.

[BringItBackITV]

This is a BBC video and yet adverts appear at the start

Including Harry Hill's TV Burp The Best Bits (ITV) and Wickes

Anyway, best scene of possibly any sitcom ever

[kitsweets]

crawly bum lick .... um  ok GIVE ME MORE MONEY

[cabac1]

Boomshanka to everyone who makes a comment (well except for the two dislikers).

[inventinglondon]

BOOMSHANKA !

[Zeamus634]

Did I just see a flash advertisement at 2:35???

[mackex98]

@Zeamus634 It's a skiier :O

[BringItBackITV]

@Zeamus634 yeah is a skiier they did that because people were starting to think subliminal messages like that were bad and what not, so The Young Ones basically took the piss out of it.

[Hubbingbird]

anyone else see the skier 2:36 what's with that

[theyoungishones]

@Hubbingbird yea

[jpwolf1701]

I loved the Young Ones, hilarious comedy. I did notice in some episodes that during the scenes on occasion there would be a brief flash on screen of a totally random image almost as if the film was accidentally recorded over or a subliminal image. In this clip watch carefully between 2:35 and 2:37 you will see a skier, I'm not sure if that was deliberate but it does appear in the DVD too.

[HPpsychedelicatessen]

@jpwolf1701 Yeah they did that because people used to think the TV people were trying to implement subliminal mind messages. It's making fun of that belief.

[tauva101]

@HPpsychedelicatessen How much time did I spend pressing pause/rewind/play trying to capture those little pictures....

[cherrypizza]

OK, 1) How is it that Rick insists that Neil write "fascist bullyBOY", but then gives the "What makes you think your bank manager's a man?" protest?

2) Why are there commercials before an official BBC video?

[patmac251188]

@cherrypizza and "... why don't you go around there now and stick your tongue down the back of his trousers"

[shadowrocks09]

whats the image in 2:36



[AcceptedWalnut]

@shadowrocks09 Its a man in a yellow Skii suit.

[shadowrocks09]

@AcceptedWalnut why

[r3t0dd]

This is a great example of how perfectly reasonable ideas are turned into turd sandwiches by a committee.

[themunster]

@vampirefreeak375 no they used to put flash frames in because a famous reporter had got into a lot of trouble whilst they were filming by putting flash frames into his reports on ITV (or ch4 cant remember). They were not broadcast but they are on the VHS/DVD copiess

[A7Xforlife1999]

@Telescopicz if you watch all the other episodes they often put litle clips (lasting under a second) in for no reason, in one episode there is a pigion

[Kainlarsen]

@A7Xforlife1999 Wasn't it a dove?

[SWI0001]

NOT LOVE NEIL! THAT SOUNDS LIKE GET IT LIKE A FUNKY BITCH SEX MACHINE

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

[commercielebende]

these fucking commercials everytime........... f@ck u tube !!!!

[damedavid]

Why oh why oh why does the Beeb release The Young Ones DVDs with bits chopped out (read about it all over the internet). Sort it out, Beeb!

[DetroitSquirreL]

@damedavid

The USA version of the DVD set (Every Stupid Episode) is exactly as I remember seeing it on TV

[panzerfausto]

did anybody see the skier at around 2:35?

[R5d4d2]

Well ... If that doesn't work, I don't know what will

[bolox010]

lol guys stip on 2:36

[neonpike]

[peterlayla]

[XiahgoSQUEE]

COME AND GET IT LIKE A BITCH FUNKY SEX MACHINE

[jjjoooeee97]

2:12 ;)



[bettypro]

sublimminal skiers?? lol what was that??

[smithywick]

absolute class..

[deefaaxx]

The reason for the 'skier' is because the BBC were using old tape to film on and these were the 'joinings'. In some episodes you will see flashes of animals cos they were old wildlife recordings. Still a great series,reminds me of my youth.

[LiveCrueltyFreeNow]

one of their very best bits :D

[shazzbutt2009]

love this episode!

[MATTYMOO4U]

Typing out quotes from the clip you just watched does not make you funny or clever in the least. If anything it makes you look pathetic and boring.

[thisusernameistaken2]

@MATTYMOO4U Typing out criticisms of people posting quotes of the clips they watched does not make you witty or clever. If anything it makes you look like an arrogant wanker.

[pickemallayyye]

2:12 i love that expression

[Rikairiify]

'I'm so hungry I can eat my own earwax! And we all know how horrid that tastes, right kids ;D' Lol, Rik is the best!

[ClashDarkes]

The skier is a joke. This was back in the days when people were very paranoid about subliminal messages. The skier flashes past slow enough to be noticed though so it's not a real subliminal message. Just poking fun at people's fears. There are similar images/clips in most episodes of The Young Ones. I was fairly confused by that as well when I was a child and had most of this series on VHS. =P

[damedavid]

@ClashDarkes We had Betamax (yes, I know), and I was convinced there as a kid I was convinced there was something wrong with my mum's video recorder.

[damedavid]

@damedavid Hm, I seem to have hiccups. It is 5.20am :-s

[NintendoKiddd]

2 people work in banks

[scruffziller]

@NintendoKiddd One of them is that bank manager.

[MsChatfield]

Those two people that didn't like this video...

Shame on them!

[english716]

[skeeterhmcr]

What is with the skiier?

[gwarriorfromhell]

[JohnCoctoasten85]

[666thesnowman]

"neil wheres my supper?"

"coming!"

[prettymom777]

Just don't eat the yellow snow!

[kyconic44]

Yellow ski suits, where did that thought come from lol

[4AMsunshine]

Bitchfunkysexmachine.

[MusicFromBlueSkies]

I KNOW SNOW WHEN I SEE IT!

[wickedfeylady]

Darling Facist Bullyboy would be a great name for a punk band. Their first album could be called "Gimme some more money, you bastard", and coming in at number 1 it's their single "Come and get it like a bitch, funky sex machine!" Special bonus track "Boomshanka" only available in the UK

[macline666]

Back in 1988 my fraternity plege class named itself, "Fascist Bullyboys".

[leoncrazyman07]

darling facist bullyboyLOL

[MacraStraba]

I have the sudden urge to ski in a yellow suit.

[toolchick71]

[basismagic]

[jigmesam]

I suddenly feel an urge to ski in a yellow ski-suit.

[bergalini]

I would love to see the reaction of my bank manager if I actually sent him a letter like that.

[kcphila]

come and get it like a bitch funky sex machine

[SkirrePepfles]

whats this!? eehhh....... its risotto

[pmalone4]

What's with the skier at 2:37?

[graburn]

They would put random "subliminal" images into episodes.

[5treefrogs]

@pmalone4 yeah they did that alot with this series, random pictures and skits popping up! It made for great conversation while we were all whacked out back in the day.

[MMsuLS]

YOUR BASTARD XD

[Jordgubbssylt119]

*And what makes yo think your bank manager is a MAN?"

"His beard."

This is briliant :D

[UnluckyAmulet]

Can I go to bed with you, Vyvyan?

[duxforddude]

[LaszloPanaflex]

You're not very comfortable, Rik. No, I'm bloody not!

[dhuffer1977]

That brought me back... Thanks

Boomshanka

[tomthereddevil]

'Love Neil'. LMFAO

[0flashtime0]

they should put a original skinhead on there aswell

[SenseOfFailure]

They were laughing at subliminal messages

[Jiemusu89]

Darling fascist bully boy. Give me some more money, you bastard. May the seed of your loins be fruitful in the belly of your woman. Neil

[psychomajic666]

That letter they wrote is classic.

[spartanses]

the ski guy must have been from a previous recording

[robinoi]

noo.... there were such fleeting images in every episode, which conveyed a coded message for Radio Times viewers to work out.

[Matio1995]

a skiing dude for a split second at 2:37

[drinktillyourdead]

boomshanka.

[madhatter9max]

such subliminality could only flourish before the days of youtube. still took me like 2 minutes to actually see what it was tho

[IzzyBee33]

I can repeat the entire letter from the top of the head.

[ThylacineAli]

"Love, Neil"

lol.

[AZthehedgehog]

I wanna go skiing!!

[magichatrick]

In a yellow jumpsuit? me too!!!!

[sethador]

[kamekachewa]

Vyvyan is freaking is awesome!

[BillWeasley]

Dear god, I love Vyv.

[chaseyourshadow]

i love the way Neil says "the belly of your woooooman."

[thegarbageboy]

What's with the random picture of a skier?

[VikutaaChyaaruzu]

That, my friends, is what we call the stereotypical subliminal message.

[MariaKeswell]

Classic!

[PsycReaper]

[drowningfishes111]

[supersolrock]

rissoto

[LawlessRick]

[jakesbusted1]

[gogul808]

WTF? this is being shown on bbc worldwide? do they have to pay for a tv licence to view it?

i bet not

doesn`t matter to me i never buy em anyhow ,fuck the system :D

[ICryOverSpiltMilk]

Darling Facist Bullyboy

Give me some more money, you bastard

May the seed of your loin be fruitful in the belly of a woman

Neil

If I was the bank manager, I'd give him the money, for making me laugh so much! None of that formal asslick shit!

[magiera92]

'Well if that doesn't work, I don't know what will.'

[ICryOverSpiltMilk]

"Problem is we're running low on fuel, put it on the fire!"

[changemeahh]

whats with the ski jumper at 2:37

[LoreXS]

the writers put that in because, in those days, the general public was afraid of subliminal messages. only you can actually see the "message" here :)

[spikeslawson]

I remember seeing that in 1986 when I used to watch The Young Ones on Mtv on Sunday nights.

I had to mess with the VCR to be sure it was really there.

[punkrockinggirly]

put it like it is lol well funny

[ogwen040]

Dear fascist bully boy, give me some more money, you bastard. Excellent!

[fecespiecies]

Young Ones rule!!!! Hands down, the best ever.

[madmandegnen]
