Young Ones - My Generation

[mmareptile27]

one of the best shows

[Rigsbymortisful]

that was great. thanks for posting.

id rather have Rik's generation than this one of Youtube geeks!

[Habibasse]

@SuperGodRobotForce  And he wasn't supposed to be the real Mike anyway !

He was a last-minute replacement for Peter Richardson

I'm sure it would have been funnier with Pete !

[OasisIsMyGod]

'it's my generation! I invented it!' Aww I love Rik, he's so cute :')

[xcheesyxbaconx]

Cool Mike is apparently too cool for this.

[guv859]

Middle class actors embarrassing themselves by trying to be "outrageous" - it's fucking shit. The Young Ones has been toe curlingly dated for 20 years. Bottom was and is far better.

[snedsmif]

@guv859 wtf are you on about the young ones was the opitomy of the 80's all comedy is dated in the end but surely thats why people who were young when it was on like it bottom was a pile of slapstick wank in comparison

[MadOnMusic1]

@guv859 The Young ones brought about new aspects of comedy - in some ways they invented parts of it! IF you dont believe me watch interviews with producers etc, The young ones hit the popluation by storm and will never be forgotten.

[TheJcanno8]

Is that Peter Richardson? That's who it looks like.

[Lovebug4Gerard]

I love Vyv! Y don't u all just f off hilaaaaarious! :3)

[KrytenMark]

"ALRIGHT. FORGET THE WHOLE BLOODY THING!!!" X''D

[IDidItSidsWay]

LOL it really took me by surprise when Vyv said "WHY DONT YOU ALL FUCK OFF!" I started laughing my ass off!

[DrGrumbles612]

@IDidItSidsWay

I've always wanted to hear someone say that...I always mentally say it when I hear any version by the Who

[twistedspanner]

who's the backing band?

[tomench]

watch?v= YB0UZN83N-w

[IRISESeyesOF289]

Ades coming to Oxford

:-)

[obscurebandfan]

Best cover ever.

[kiwiguy15]

what does Rik saying at 1:50 lol.

[captainrice13]

@kiwiguy15 I was wondering the same thing. Whatever he said I think ended in "good riddance!"

[jkvocalist]

Shame about Pete Townsend and the child porn. :(

Still RIK IS GOD!!

[floppetylove]

Its not my generation either Neil - it's my Mum's!



[doubletrouble467]

Hey Rayflute,why did christopher ryan not on the video?

[Jimmy666Vengeance]

best cover of this song ever made xD

[flyby7a]

These guys should make a spinoff show called THE OLD ONES...

[Longetty]

Everything you'd Imagine! Off The Chart!

[MickeyLove01]

where's Mike?

[WilloLFC06]

This is comical genious, like the song is musical genious. Love what they've done with the lyrics. (I'm a big Who fan.)

[captainrice13]

Lol, "people try to put us down...

... basically because you're really unpleasant."

[TheHappyDudeUK]

the greatest parody of "My Generation"

[mintyspace]

At the start when hes talking, before the lights come on, I swear to god he sounds like a Dalek

[pikknz]

Hope I die before I go bald.

[caitox]

I love when Rik misses his part and just goes "...fuck!"

[finalfantisiy]

Mike wasn't played by a comedian, nope, mr Ryan was an actor, so he didn't participate in the basterd squad lol

[will007ed]

Rik's 52-years-old today!

[jot101158]

Luv ! luv and more LUV

[lilly524]

RIK!!! Omg how I love Rik!! He's super awesome!!

[ArmyMen333]

does anyone have the full lyrics for this

[3bayftw]

hope i die before i go bored!!!!

[ErnieandBert1]

"Why don't you all fff-fuck off!"

That's what I always think when I hear Daltrey sing "Why don't you all f-f-f-f-f-f-fade away"... and that started before I saw this.

[83RockaRolla]

Where's Mike? Great version of this song!

[SteikePannelugg]

Hahahaha, Rik's dancing just saved my day.

[iamafish400]

[AceripXF]

[Ringobjingo]

I love when Neil sings

"Basically because you're really unpleasant"

Rik looks so hurt! bless XD

[pointless12345678910]

don't try dig what we all thought

[Basetornado]

It justs descends into them shouting a lot but it so bloody funny.

Mostly cause your really unpleasent

[mrmagoo1992]

wasn't it mike playing drums cos it looks like him

[catchatubescreamer]

I was wondering where Mike was then noticed there was 3 of um

[Clown0fHatred]

HELL YEAH ITS BETTER XD did anyone see them on topgear lol

[mxcooper24]

better than the original!!! haha

[KNTFM]

Why don'ty ou alll FUCK OFF!

[laurajane2300]

I've always loved the fact that these three characters have absolutely NOTHING in common and loathe each other and yet they're joined at the hip for life. Friends are like that in RL, I think, not all that buddy-film crap. Life's a mess and makes no sense and that's why it's a blast. Oh, and this is a complete and utter bastard I know named Rik.

[AceripXF]

what i meant was that Rik being so young back then had so much energy like JIm

[KatiePole]

Love love love Rik's crazy dancing at 0:22 xD

[AceripXF]

reminds me of jim cary lol

[Iluvetosing122]

Hahahahahahaha dude i fell off my chair

[JOYD1V1SION4glancy]

it not my fuckin generation lmao

[oGeMmAo]

Quality

[rubbishreferees]

"why dont you all fuck off"

shame they had to grow up.

[ShovelDuct]

Or did they?

Watching Bottom, I'm inclined to think they regressed.

[AceripXF]

wot do u mean

[ShovelDuct]

They became even less mature, if possible.

[AceripXF]

ah but that's the fun of it man the way the act now means they're still young at heart and cool

[ShovelDuct]

Precisely

[AceripXF]

ah okay Rik will always be young at heart ^_^

[Bromleyboy73]

@rubbishreferees - Truest statement on this page...

...but have Rik and Ade actually grown up yet? If Bottom is anything to go by then, erm, no. LOL.

[caitamalin]

is this at the Comic Strip? pre-young ones?

[rayflute]

This was in 1983, so inbetween the two TV series they recorded.

[AceripXF]

RICK NEIL AND VYV ALL THE WAYYY ^_^ <3

[ThereIsTooMuchButter]

The weird thing is...it's quite a good version! Ha I love Vyv!

[FIENDCLUBGLORF]

Yeah, Vyv is great!

[fascistamericadotnet]

they should do a new young ones series - the whole joke would be there all middle aged men having a mid-life crisis desperately trying to appear hip and trendy.

[FIENDCLUBGLORF]

Yes, they should... Contact them! ;)

[AceripXF]

LOL that would be interesting

[KingRaven101]

@fascistamericadotnet they died at the end of series 2.

[VTS1337]

@fascistamericadotnet that IS sort of like bottom

[tomench]

@VTS1337 It's two actors from bottom,

[VTS1337]

@tomench yeah i know i meant your idea was sort of like bottom itself

[tomench]

@VTS1337 there is a time error in your time vortex, sequencial who's answering who, tingy ting!, I, the codey thing underneath is the bit after the name of this site to get to a hole in my shoe sung by "rickie hippy",, seems couldn't post it otherwise..

[graybowe]

@fascistamericadotnet

That WOULD be f$#@#$ hilarious!

[Omegablack420]

@fascistamericadotnet Isn't That "Bottoms"???

[HarryIcedTea]

@fascistamericadotnet it's called Bottom :P

[BritainVthatsme]

Well, basically because your really unpleasant...

I love you Neil!!)

[RandomHero1971]

Id hate to see what REALLY makes these guys laugh out loud. Itd have to be insane.

[battywattywoo]

Was this from one of the episodes? Or a stage show?

[rayflute]

It was a stage show. From 1983, I believe.

[battywattywoo]

Is the whole show available to view here?

[rayflute]

Not as far as I know.  The show was called "Too Hot To Handle"

[xxawsomedeathxx]

@rayflute na its allways been called young ones ive seen them all

[rubbishreferees]

how the other 2 keep a straight face with Riks dancing, ill never know... pure entertainment!

[THECLASH1994]

[leianog]

[rayflute]

It was a trademark of his character Vyvyan. ;) Unless it involved something dangerous, he was never really interested!

[thewrestlevessel]
