After they faked their deaths in that 'bus accident', they had to change their look & whole persona. Mike did it the best (the shabby Dave Hedgehog was a masterstroke in re-invention), but Rik was a bit too high-profile with that B'Stard ruse.. Vyv and Neil changed their look, but forgot to change their names.. but no one dared question Vyv, and no one cared about Neil (as always).....
@@flippikat Don't forget Mike also tried re-inventing himself as a Gangster too with is much taller Brother in Peckham in 1989, changing his name to Tony. Still was doing it in 2006.
Abraham's Vlogs - Did they survive? I recall them crashing the double decker off (and through) Cliff, them surviving and say "Phew! That was close!" and then the bus explodes. Have I missed something all these years?
I absolutely fucking loved these guy's so much I've tried to compare it to today's tv and the best I can come up with is the inbetweeners, four mate's with different personalities and the writer of young ones is epic too.
1990 is in the ballpark, but I'm not sure exactly when. It was on the end of a tape which had a lot of different stuff recorded on it at different times.
The mind boggles. Just when you think "celebrities" can't get more pretentious they do. I guess they'll sell anything for money and fame but to use loved characters from a classic show to sell this shit is just beyond contempt.
I wish we got a show about the four being all grown up and still act the same way they do
difficult due to sad death of the great Rik Mayall
would definitely have loved to see Rik the anarchist be a middle class yuppie. Mike would not have changed.
Bottom is the closest we'll ever get. Especially if you imagine Nigel Planer playing Spudgun
Neil’s astrological star chart finally aligned
Neil became the ET Fairfax character of his dream.
"Little squirt does one advert and thinks he's Dustin Hoffman!"
Thank you Friends Provident for the magnificent, under-performing, mis-sold endowment mortgage you arranged for me.
Never seen this before cheers 🍻
I lost 8,000 Pounds investing in this. Freinds Provident now call themselves Friend Life but it's the same shit. Believe me, I'd rather have enemies.
Well Neil was always the stupid one
Neil was always the dumbest of the Young Ones after all
This is the closest we're going to get to The Old Ones
So Vyv and Neil DID graduate from Scumbag College and must have gone and got real jobs?
Oi, up Scumbag, up Scumbag!!
this is kinda non-canon but also amazing
yep
No kidding. Are we really supposed to believe they survived that Cliff?
@@wheelz-2997 Vyvyan survived decapitation; bus crash and explosion ain't nuthin but a thing for him.
Oh No! Neil & Vyvyan have gone all corporate and sold out!
and Rick now has the surename B'stard for some reason

HEAVYYYYY....
I never imagined Viv and Neil wear tuxedos.
Or seeing them with proper haircut =P
The advert could be a what if... What if Viv and Neil hadn't died at the end of The Young Ones?
They didn't die. They survived it.
@@abrahamsvlogs4040 Possible alternate timeline.

@@Red_Beard2798 They came back in 1986 to do a single with Cliff Richard
Friends provident are bloody lucky to have secured those two! No idea what the hell friends provident is but sheesh they are lucky
They were an investment company. Not sure if they're still going
0:48 "PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS."
"We've grown big by being recommended." Why are you advertising then?
How have I never seen this before!!!?

Brilliant!
But Vyv was a medical student!
Given the type of medical student he was, he probably makes a great broker.
Must have failed his exams lol, as Lenny the postman said, they came bottom in the whole world.
Nice idea. So that happened to them after they EXPLODED in the last episode.
The magic of television eh... 🤭
Never saw this . Good idea
They're in their Young Ones characters, but do you really think those two could be so upwardly mobile?
Vivian is unemployable lol
Makes me wonder what became of Rick. Maybe working in a bank!
And living at his mum's. BAD NEWS!!!
@@53rdAndThird Haha, I was thinking exactly that! Colin Grigson 🤣
@@53rdAndThird Mummy! MUMMY!! 😢👞💩 (😂😂)
When the hell was this - 1990 has been suggested?
1990 is in the ballpark, but I'm not sure exactly when. It was on the end of a tape which had a lot of different stuff recorded on it at different times.
1988 according to Wiki.
Neil looks like Jimmy Carr (well, Jimmy Carr's *original* face).
I thought Vyv was a medical student?
After all its only water pistols.........
We didn’t get them at Tesco’s Ok!!!
It's the breadhead conspiracy!!!
Good god 80's ads were weird.
Nerdrotic brought me here.
Pepperami
The yuppies have taken over.
Viv sounds like a cuckoo clock at 0:14.
HA!! I knew they would eventually have to grow up and become part of the real world....and why not? The Pythons did....
These guys are better than Rik they need to do a play or a tv series together

celebrity endorsements are common, actually. As long as the service / product is legit, I have no qualms with it. But to each his own.
You can legit see Vyv becoming an aggressive finance guy.
Cringe much! Only would have worked in costume
30 year old still dressing as students???
They grew up, unlike some people. 🙄
