The Young Ones Computer Game advert 1984

[bazfanv2]

The guy narratings sounds like a drunken zippy.

[MrChaz1985]

the music sucks u in man.....heavy

[abbafan50986]

They were right, those graphics truly are overwhelming

[Pobatti]

I had this game. I remember one of the things you had to do was phone up Colonel Gadafi and sell him a bomb! You couldn't get away with that these days.

[giveallieacookie]

Was that supposed to be Neil?

[8833darren]

£8 for that you must be mad

[PhilipLMilne]

Well... some of your comments are a bit like comparing a bronze spear to a rocket launcher...

[MartynJamieson9]

The Annoucer sounds like Zippy from Rainbow

[comptonmofo1]

Hmmm..... Obviously Orpheus couldn't quite afford the appearance fee for Eddie then!

[smoothvirus]

OVERWHELMING graphics and sound!!!

[glennorange]

I had no idea there ever was a Young Ones game.

[Rikairiify]

Retro FTW! :3

[leef0324uk]

ive still got it but i reckon its BBBBBRRRIIILLLLIIIAANNNTTT Neil i H8 YOU

[countingdown27]

i think i might pirate this becuz i'm a criminal.

[Hellmut34]

Sounds more like Zippy than Vivian

[72jmjp]

Superbly Animated!!!! lmao!!

[Jermyn78]

That game looks really shit. I had the game based on How To Be A Complete Bastard, it was rather amusing.

[irishswift]

was that supposed to be terry jones as the mother in the life of brian?

[Assiman]

@irishswift

Holy shit, it does sound like terry jones, haha

[carbootgamerUK]

Good god , those impressions were so bad. "overwhelming graphics" lol

[StellaSteve80]

if this was a real TV add they could have at least have got the cast to so the voice overs, very bad impressions, i never knew they did a Young Ones game but that looked bad even for a Spectrum game

[rastaroid]

this is hilarious. Seems they walk around picking up objects with their own catchphrases? hoax, or satirical documentary?

[pepsimadd17]

OMG 

[livebabylive15]

Aren't ad's meant to make the product look good lol

[boudavin]

that would be played for 1 minute then get switched off from the biggest of fans.

[97channel]

"Oh Geoffrey, Bungle Bonce has stolen my crayons".

[Jessmo198]

What a weird voice over....bad vyvyan impression :/

[chris22452245]

bad fricken voiceover but looks like a nice retro

[koponenii]

i would like to have this game.

1 weirdest game it could be...never prolly play it but allows imagination mess around whit game " rules". :))

[Mortalfarmer]

And thats how low merchandising will go.

[Tamaslammer]

That is a BAD Vyvyan impersonation.

[ianhitman]

@Tamaslammer not as bad as the Neil impersonation

[thai2die]

You know, I love that show.

But I have to say.

That looks like a GODAWFUL video game. xDDD

[VitasVarnas]

GOD I want to play this :)

[lartnell]

well its better than the beowolfe game

[russelledwards001]

overwhelming graphics!

[davidlimond]

The guy doing the vivian voiceover started to sound like Zippy

[Kozmique]

That's so bad it's good! If I had seen that in 1984 I would have wanted it! doesn't look worse than the other video games we had back then, and the voice overs aren't worse than the ones my little brother and I used to do! lol great show, funny bit of memorabilia. Thanks!

[SgtBastard101]

For 7 pounds and 95 pee!!!

[CHROSSTOPHER]

hilariously bad , who thought this would convince people to play it ?

[jkvocalist]

Worst Vyv impression EVER!!

[JiMxtreme]

That looks rubbish

[ACDCFan15Swe]

What do you excpect from a computer game from 1984?

[TheDanman64]

Move over Mario! I can picture vyvan knocking mario over the head with a frying pan!

[BritishBlackOpps]

do we have a video

[SgtBastard101]

Yes, weve got a video!!!

[BritishBlackOpps]

lol. harry the bastard lmfao

[tigertremp]

Oh, you have a video?

[SgtBastard101]

If ive got to say it one more time,Im gonna kill someone,YES weve got a video!!!

[tigertremp]

And it's late, you now owe me 500 pounds.

[SgtBastard101]

As soon as our tuition check comes in,we'll put the check in the mail.Or make Neil get a job!

[tigertremp]

But I live an alternative lifestyle..

[SgtBastard101]

You'll just have to get used to it Neil...

[tigertremp]

Fine I'll join the army

[SgtBastard101]

Ok Neil,first your gonna need a haircut...

[aaronm222]

superbly animated lol -if you've had a pick axe through your head

[Bangell99]

Ha! The impressions are terrible!

[squarebanana94]

o...m...g wtf is that?! its looks so rubbish!

[Katashtrophie]

Looks alot like the Spectrum game "How To Become A Complete Bastard" based on the book by Ade Edmunson - Got it free on a coverdisk about 100 years ago.

Anyway there are a few Spectrum emulators out there and you can find the ROM for it about.

[bthomehub2]

Oh my god :P

[n136ha]

crap impressions, vivian sounds like zippy

[KatiePole]

That's who it reminded me of! xD LOL. I couldn't think who it was.

[Applemask]

That might actualy be Roy Skelton, now you mention it.

[annoianoid]

who the hell gave me a thumbs down?????

too much time on someone's hands?

[annoianoid]

what the hell was the msx?

[AntiYourFacePhD]

Old video system. The original Metal Gear games were on them.

[Gasoline85]

I've heard about this game before. Looks pretty bad. :P Wonder if the AVGN will review it at some point.

[CountOrlock]

Are U serious!

HAHAHA!

[NameNotaNumber]

Does Madness tramp through the house singing Baggy Trousers half way through?

[simonturner73]

That looks so bad LOL

[ben15972]

I remember that you could go in the kitchen and eat curry, if you chose to eat it all you would explode. And if you drunk all the lager in the fridge the screen would spin and you couldn't play it after that! lol

[ldhenson]

I'd love to see them make a Young Ones game with today's technology. Playing Vyvyan GTA-style would be awesome.

[deyua]

Hell Yes!

[AceripXF]

yeah really lmao vyvyan is awesome lol even tho i like rik mayall better in bottom i like ade as vyvan in TYO better that rik

[thbebokg1]

@ldhenson i  disagree

[terrytibs1977]

you try and destroy the house with any item you pick up. It was shit

[superhappywish]

worst game ever!

[zedslivingdead]

It was in the 80's...

[superhappywish]

I know, but there were some amazing games in the '80s, this was really terrible! Just another cash-in. The young ones book was brilliant tho...

[welshuser]

Sounds more like Terry Jones!

[arsecrabs55]

"Break Cliff?? Which instruments do you want us to break???????"

The impressionists here are so utterly useless they're excellent. Especially Neil. Who sounds more stoned than the real Neil.

I remember the review in Sinclair User for this game around 1984. It complained that the characters swore in the game and it should be banned. Probably caused all the kids to want to go out and get it!!!!!!!!!!!

[The1982Channel]

Bloody hell, this feels old! I never knew they made a Young Ones game...

[DaibloDBZ]

They made a GAME?!

[TheKidDoc81]

£7.95? My God how times have changed.

[nottin10]

PRIMITIVE HUMANS!!!

[hallucinaJason]

overwhelming graphics!

[veronicafanDA]

They should make a new Young Ones Game!

[pacificdiamond]

oh my god i so wish they would. That would be the best!!

[itodajunko]

Oh my god this made me laugh so hard

[idiotsdream]

And to think! That was nearly 25 years ago.

[OpethFanatic]

This looks so shit xD

[sophie95f0]

The voice over sounds like it'd be Vyvyan/Ade Edmonson saying it in a funny voice haha

xoxo

[leef0324uk]

i had this game fuckin muppets this was big as gta could you download it anywhere

[Mustakrakish013]

lmfao I didn't know they had a game

[belgiansword]

If that voice was a commercial voice for Gta IV, they would have 1.000.000 sales less..

[thomas242007]

Well this isnt san andreas ill give em that

[KRAZYkid29]

haha those old games are SOOOO lame. lol SUPERB GRAPHICS MY ARSE!! hahahahaha.

[Rock74]

One day someone will be laughing at the gsmes you play now.

[RobotwarsKing]

"Anarchy Rules! I'm going to pick up the address book"

[OakaYuki]

You'll play The Young Ones until your brains burn out...

XD

[MrInconspicuous13]

@Rock74 And I'll be laughing with them as I kick their ass as an 80 year old fucknut. :D

[jacobmasta]

looks like a precursor to "The Sims."

[thebigbossnahhh]

Ah the 80's! Love it.

[NeilD323]

this has gotta be a re-make, it aint 4 real honestly is it?

[RatchetRYNO]

But maybe in the future, people will take the piss out of all your favourite games. And computers had only been released for home use around this time so the graphics aren't that bad for their time.

[RobotwarsKing]

The music is very catchy too =D

[MayaMeows]

Superbly animated! Ha!

[dexantiprejudist]

OMG I havent played this video in 3 weeks!

[Gregandthensome]

I've played this! It seems to be entirely pointless...

[banditfr0g]

overwhelmig graphics. lmao

[brontone]

this has to not be real.... surely?

[leevidz2007]

haha I never new about this lol

[nightwish112]

if you are overwhelmed or vaigly interested in this game ...please get your head examined

thank you ^^

[armageddon74400]

lmfao superbly animated overwhelming graphics... "you'll play the young ones until your brains burn out" lol hilarious this game claims it has overwhelming graphics but most games today have graphics that asre described as "great" does that mean this game has better graphics? lmao

[armageddon74400]

lmfao superbly animated overwhelming graphics... "you'll play the young ones until your brains burn out" lol hilarious this game claims it has overwhelming graphics but most games today have graphics that asre described as "great" does that mean this game has better graphics? lmao

[Glasskey10]

What the...? Never even heard of this until now. I'm guessing it was never released in the U.S. Crazy.

[finewines]

hahaha i can't believe they made a computer game!

[Gilmourisgreat]

wow fucking good advert lol i wish stuff liek that was on tv nowadays lol id piss myself =D those where the days, well until halo came out ^^

[Quiverwing]

Good Lord, what could they honestly make a "Young Ones" game about? It's not like there was much game material.

[Mahxirb]

Games in those days were much smaller, there were loads of random game made, and they were really cheap

[LFCkillers4life]

that was fucking bollocks

[hardgayramen4ever]

definitely not vivians voice in the ad, fucking imposter

[RobotwarsKing]

Nice of them to use Zippy from Rainbow as a Cameo!

[mcraymondo]

yep thats zippy without a shadow!!

[octomonkey1980]

The music creases me! You gotta love the old C64 sound.

[LaDracul]

Damn, I'm jealous this never got released in the US...though it looks like it's on the same level as the "Family Guy" game.

[mononokehime316uk]

to be fair Rik did the Nintendo ads in 1992 and 1993 so years after this game was out. If it came out around 92 93 he would have done the voice but in 1984 I suspect the company behind this game spent all the money on the licence.

[theehoneytwin]

That would be fun to play after picking off some BOTTOM BOILS!

[mildredsmittens]

was that meant to be vivien or zippy from rainbow?

[thina82]

I want this game! :O

[clartsonly]

sorry neil is the last minute.

[clartsonly]

you plum the voice was supposed to be viviens

[Mahxirb]

Neil's voice was at the end

[KARLPILKINGTON001]

Why can't games have character like they did back then. I can do a better Neil voice than the dodgy one you hear on here.

[PutOutTheLights]

Seconded.

[olol001]

vyvvian sound like yoda on crack!

[jozefacik]

superbly animated

[Khomradeigor]

They should make a new Young Ones game for the PS3.

[Chuckjagermeister]

pc graphics weren't even that good in 1984

[Chuckjagermeister]

Uh...that was the fakest nostalgia trying to be fake satire about a fake 80's commercial...fk it.

[nightwish112]

OVERWHELMING GRAPHICS!!! WTF

[Mahxirb]

They were at the time, this was probably made in 1990

[nightwish112]

1984 lol says on the title

[edmundziegejunge]

All games looked like this, all the time. :-(

[JarrahWhite]

Those are Superb Graphics?! LOL, I can't believe they actually made a Young Ones video game!

[Mahxirb]

For the time, they were amazing.

[theinquisitor]

That game looks so bad I think it gave me cancer

[giftef]

jesus the voices of "Vyv & Neil" are shite

[RabidLentil]

where can i buy the soundtrack for that! (oh for the 'overwhelming graphics and sound!) and whats with the vyv and neil impersinations? :)

[westgoten]

oh the nostalgia...

I remember beeing totally fed up with the background music, when i discovered that smashing the record player turned it off. :)

And yes, this game consisted entirely of people walking around picking things up.

[paranormalhandy]

Was the voice-over artist paid £7.99 too, I wonder?

[ahosek]

If so it's about a fiver too much.

[comedycuts]

LOL

[jaychristie909]

pmsl "Superbly Animated"

[illmitchjax]

overwhelming graphics

and sound.

[w0rmwood]

Oh my god. I fucking want that video game, seriously.

[LiloMania]

Far out man!

[s3lf15h]

i'd like to post here but i was overwhelmed, sorry

[TheMarlonC]

omg did any1 get a glimpse of the overwelming graphics?

[eubiegk]

Perhaps some sort of post-modern reaction against the entire concept of video games?

[moochcassidy]

modern games should have more walking in them. this looks truely attrocious.

[LeboviciAB84]

Seven ninety-five must have been like hundreds and hundreds of pounds.

[bemo56]

You mean, basically what we are paying for games now?

[MisterSix]

Did the game consist entirely of people picking things up, then?
