Yes, kids it's true: There WAS a time when MTV was entertaining

[1illyrocks]

Haha I called that phone number someone picked up..... i was so Nervous i hung up automatically... :) that was amazing haha

[PalakikaK]

I remember this ad... I wish I had ordered the record back when it was available; however, I was too young.

[jonesdougcom]

I wonder if that address, and phone number still work.

[PatsyDee]

try it! :D

[scoobydoorules01]

I LOVE NEIL!!!!!

[positiveactionmike]

I have this album on vinyl.

I don't know what else to say other than that it's ridiculously great.

There's a song on it called 'Lentil Nightmare' which has to be heard.

[83RockaRolla]

Lucky you!

[alzeebub69]

i have the single!

[PaulUmbarger]

I'd like to hear it once but, I don't think that I'd want to actually give money to hear it! LO!L At least not now that I am 35.... when I was 15, in a heartbeat!

[metalfingersinmybody]

Does anyone have a copy of this album ?. PLEASE get in touch if you have

[squarebanana94]

they sold it in America?! wow, i love "who put a table there?" i hate American adverts, they keep telling my things i already know, like the stupid address! lol

[disconnected22]

I would love a copy of that album. Anybody own one?

[squarebanana94]

i do!

[SgtBastard101]

Gotta a CD copy!!

[MrNinjaFish]

@ DontFearCelsHere

Absolutely agree with you. It's the same thing over here.

[jetdr]

They don't make good shows like this and black adder anymore.

[Paulaisgeenkoe]

The young ones should be back on Dutch television!

[yyy2012yyy]

I'm not high enough for this. I need to go smoke up!

[wrexhamowls]

yeh its like reely heavy man

[CHROSSTOPHER]

""If people like the young ones please check out my friend and I's channel of fan videos for the young ones where we write and perform as RIk and Neil !"

[JankeyL]

LOL! Great Sgt. Peppers disign:D

[Pauluk33]

i never knew until recently that hole in my shoe was a cover,lol

[syddanelectro]

we need good tv shows in america! send more over ha

[Samoth06]

Ok, now I want this record. :D

Anyone else catch the snippet of a cover of Caravan's "Golf GIrl" towards the end??

[DontFearCelsHere]

I agree American humor is fucking shit its not funny what so ever and all there shows are jst copy of other shows like the OC is just the same 90210 and one tree hill is like chewed up and spat out Dawson's creek seriously come up with something instead of doing the same old shit over and over i wish shows like the young ones and all those old tv shows were still on America has taken funny away and given us stupid spoiled rich teenage brats

[McMunchy]

Haha, I want to call that number now man! Fuckin amazing!

[moshugari]

american accent recked the whole vid

[ogwen040]

Its crap, its supposed to be crap! Only the Yanks are gullible enough to take it at face value! Brilliant!

[thequeenofthegoblins]

I'm sorry! Americans ruin all that was once good about TV (and music, and film, and everything that is entertaining)!!! You should see the other SHIT they play here!!! At least I have the option to purchase the few BBC shows that are compatable with our DVD players and watch them at my leisure...

[woodstockchild11]

trust the Americans to kill it

[TheProgNerd]

@woodstockchild11

Hey man...I'm American, and I think American TV (and most of our music) sucks fucking goat nuts.

Don't lump all of us together! The mass media and MTV are brainwashing the ignorant fucktards of my country...

[madbiker53]

neil brought an album out

[mikeyaccident]

i can't believe i never saw that before

he had song called bad karma in the u.k. hahaha

[grahamgregson]

am still waiting for it to arrive..... (H)

[lilster36]

why the stupid american salesman voice? It would have been better with just neil talking. (vyvyan and rick should have come on at the end and complained)

[UnwashedMusician]

The Yank ruined the funniness of the ad.

Tisk tisk.

[pingwingling]

this was lifted off American television. Americans won't buy things from a British voice in TV adverts... they find UK accents dishonest and shrill

[lilster36]

lol we find the american accents dishonest and anoyyin.

(well some. depends where you're from i guess)

[johnny1973]

Don't you have better things to do than to cap on Americans? I am an American and I love old British comedy...but you do not see me crying around!

[BucklandSteamClean]

@johnny1973 Dont dis your heriatge - you have produced many great comics - Lenny Bruce "If Jesus had been murdered 20 years ago Catholic children would be runnin around with little silver electric chairs on chains around their necks..." Its the great US dollar in the form of sponsors/advertisers that keeps good original home-grown talent off US TV - they strangle originality in any form in favour of the lowest common denominator - thats the same with our independent commecial TV networks here

[drummerguy1888]

Nah pretty much everyone hates americans.. there is a country in Africa that wont even let americans into their country haha!!

[juventvs]

thats funny and GOOD!!!!!!!! the sad truth is stronger than the dollar

[boats752]

well we have no desire to go to some damn inbred nigger country

[ncwhu]

fuucking disgusting comment

[Eidelmania]

America is just England deep fried. If we're ruining the world for you thats just because your too lazy to do your own job.

[harpo103]

Some of us Yanks get this. It was on telly some 20 years ago, on MTV. But, I guess anyone can see it on Youtube if they want to. Just don't bum me out , man.

[SHMUJEW]

can they translate this into american?

[davelaz]

I want to hear Vivian's album.

[am1gv]

[CapnJackRox]

OMG!!! This was real!? I love the Young Ones!

[PVVNZERFAUST]

HIPPIE!!!11

[mackhine]

Never knew about this. Thanks for posting it!

[parkscd]

There's a copy of this album for sale right now (12/20) on eBay for 50 bucks.

[copping1000]

my brother has a young ones picture with all there autographs on. I want to get him the heavy concept album for christmas.

[PrincessHL]

It was sold in stores here in Australia and probably over in England as well.

[LaDracul]

God bless Nigel Planer...I would love to see him as the Wizard in "Wicked"...sadly, I'm stuck in the US. :(

[Lanzig138]

I wanted to see him in 'Wicked' too! I need to move to the UK.

[Snugglebooty]

Does anyone have the entire 'Hole In My Shoe' video? And if so can they uplaod it? I would love to see it again!

[Snugglebooty]

Special thanks to whoever uploaded this! I love Neil!

[ScreamQueenPinup]

how have i missed this all these years? and why aren't their any copies on eBay if this is real?

[PrincessHL]

I have a copy of the Heavy Concept Album. It was my father's so I can assure everyone it does exist, it's very funny. (I have the Hole in my Shoe single with Hurdy Gurdy Mushroom man on the other side too.)

I doubt many copies would turn up on eBay, it's pretty rare.

[theboydanny]

I got the single too (far-out stuff lol), but not the album :(

Yea it's pretty rare stuff

[whiteknight90]

I managed to pull the album off of the net, it's freak'n hilarious.

[666psychoneurosis666]

hahahaha i love the young ones!

this just tops it off.

[lyricalwhip]

Who remembers "Hurdy Gurdy Mushroom Man"? Great Stuff, Neil!

[baggyboo]

summer of 1984

[VinceRocksMySocks]

wow how cool, i want this album! that was a great ad apart from the chesy american bit. but neil was great

[voss451]

Boom Shanka

[GAZZA251170]

Would love to get a copy of this album or at least a video of Hole in My Shoe on You Tube-I have got the 7" picture disc of that single in the shape of funnily enough a shoe!!!

[johnnylondis]

Neil Rules. The Young Ones was a class show and this Americanized version of what Neil and the Young Ones was about is a disgrace.

[benjmarsh]

Yep. This is a real advert and a real album. The single "Hole in my shoe" (cover of a 1967 Traffic song) got to number 2 in the UK in 1984 but the album didn't chart and is very rare to see these days - it's like really heavy man!

[jansenmann]

OMG like neil is a total sell out man

[ravenmosher]

OMG Neil is so geeky he's cool! Weird!

[booshx101]

XD thanks for that video

[Courts1]

My Dad has this Album.

[patton303]

where the hell can I get this album???????????????????

[IAMCyberman]

This is a very cheesy advert, but still. I like Neil and love the Young Ones. I want to download this album! :P

[funkybone]

Wow---I'd never seen this one before...

[pr00de]

Wow, MTV used to be cool once. Who'd a thought.

[matnally]

Cheesy advert, but fun none the less. Thx for uploading it.
