when i first watched kevin sketches i was just a child. i thought it was over the top and exagerrated....til i became a teenager and realised how bang on this is!
I remember my Mum finding these sketches hilarious, and would be pointing at me and laughing the whole time. Now I show these sketches to my own teenage son.
@@WanTap Not really. The truly terrible thing about being like this at 30 is that you're playing the role of the parents as well as Kevin, so you're just getting angrier and angrier at yourself while still procrastinating.
The most realistic part of this is the eventual point (probably about 4:30 in the morning) where he suddeny got the unexplainable urge to clean the car thoroughly
The genius of this is that they let him take his time with it and waited it out. I fully empathize with all parties. Fair and square. The good old days. Job done.
Being a teenager is really hard. Your whole body and mind goes through a massive transformation. You are hormonally imbalanced, confused, scared. Leaving the simplicity of childhood and entering into the complex and sometimes dark world of adulthood. Worried and perplexed about the opposite sex, and a host of many things.
daskew87 hahahahaha you don't know how easy you have it -wait till your an adult and have to pay bills and go to work jeeez I'd love to be a teenager again.
They cut out the beginning of the sketch where Kevin's Dad tries to get Kevin up by turning the stereo up, with "Going For Gold" by Shed Seven on the radio.
Harry Enfield has this spot on. My teenage son cant even manage to put a cup in the sink and he is impossible to have a conversation with even though he is intelligent. This is so accurate of what teenagers are like. They will do anything to get out of doing any work. God help anyone out there with young children. THIS REALLY IS WHAT THEY TURN INTO, BELEIVE ME!
Christopher Wallace Yeah well my son talks to me daily. We live in the same house so its hard not to. When I say 'talks' I mean more like a mumble now and again. And only when he wants something off me!
I was a teen when this was on, and I looked/dressed fairly similar to Kevin and had the same taste in Drum n Bass. I wasn't quite as twatty as him. My son is now a teenager and is pretty much exactly Kevin the teenager, with all the grunts and swinging arms (and with a lot more swear words).
I had my moments of being like Kevin during my teenage years. And it makes me wonder what my future children would be like when they get to that age...
Saw this when it aired. "You've achieved something in your life!" is still used as a suffix by my parents to comments relating to work/achievment, trivial or otherwise, usually ironically.
I was like this when I was that age, in fact i was so much like it my mum even called me Kevin! I can remember saying "that is is so unfair, I hate you!"
My Dad's friend called me Kevin because one day he asked me to walk the dogs with my friend and I replied "Come on! You people are so unfair, I might as well just call CHILDLINE, you.... YOU BULLYS!" So I just had to see who he was
Today, my mum asked me to help her with the housework. I made a scoff noise, and told her she was being unfair. She pointed at me and screamed "KEVIN!" - I laughed and watched this video.
Lmao I had to do countless chores every day since I could hold a cloth in my hand. One mistake/if I skipped a chore, I’d get physically punished. No allowance, no internet/phone/electronics/TV until I was about 12 when I had to walk to school miles away (brick Nokia phone only, the rest came at age 14). Walked to school by myself since I was 6/7. Now I’m the laziest ass ever. Can’t even be bothered to buy/cook food to eat so I just have a sandwich to last me the whole day. Found it hard to be social in school since I hadn’t the slightest clue what everyone was talking about; had one friend who I could actually rely on. Now I sleep most of the day, go for an hours walk in the park, buy a snack then go home to watch a few movies before restarting the cycle. Money comes from babysitting (where I actually clean, eat, cook etc). Existence is very bland. I don’t even have social media because it’s boring and I’m not used to it. Gonna try applying to uni again probably. I know no ones gonna read this but it feels nice to talk about it. Not interested in therapy, waste of time and money. I don’t care about it anyway. I like to stay sober because addiction is expensive and it won’t give me long-lasting happiness. I remember my 18th birthday. No party, no friends/family. What a sad waste. I miss the times when I loved to give and share; to see people genuinely smile. My best friend died a couple of hours before 2018’s new year from cancer. Got the call just 20 minutes before the the fireworks. The doctors said the condition was getting better, and I actually believed them. That’s the sort of naivety that kills people and letting them live. That’s what made me stop being being so generous... when I got hurt by people taking advantage. I never asked for anything back. That doesn’t mean I deserved it. I can’t even cry anymore. It’s all just blank.
You need a hobby my girl. Something big that you have to work towards and achieve. Something satisfying. Bonus points if it makes you travel. My hobby is riding rollercoasters. It takes me all across the planet. It's expensive and I have to work first for my reward. I've met a lot of interesting people. I didn't discover my hobby until I was 29 and in intensive chemotherapy after my second cancer operation.
Felice Graziano this is a good tip. If you have something to work for or to do, you’ll feel like you have a purpose, not for others but for you. It can be simple as reading or something complex like DIY stuff and all. While I don’t like how the first comment said what they said, she has a good point. Your past can’t control your future and it’s up to you on wether you decide to not be lazy. It won’t be easy, it may take a long time, but get there, because once you’re there, you’ll feel alive. One more thing, once you’re rolling, try to keep the momentum as you can quickly go back to zero and work yourself all over again. You don’t need a therapist exactly, you just need you to get you up. I hope this helps and you get better. Peace.
Hi , it sounds like you are suffering from depression. I hope since your message you are feeling better or different. If not I really suggest you reach out though you won't feel like for support . First step may be a friend or family or if that's not comfortable a support line or go to the doctor's and take it from there . You may need counseling . You could get reffered but whilst you wait there are also lines you can call for help . It's not easy but don't feel bad for the way you are but acknowledge it looks like a symptom of something not right in your life . Maybe your dealing with surpressed emotions you don't know how to face or trauma and it's manifesting in this apathy and lack of drive . You are not alone and lots of people suffer from this and what you describe .But the good news is generally there is help out there . You are not lazy ,lazy is different. You sound like you just need a bit of help and a plan . Identify what it is you don't like ,what you think you would like . It also sounds like your suffering from disossiation . Sometimes to protect us we zone out ,numb but after a while we stay in that as auto pilot.its safe there .but if you can recognise it for what it is . You can set aside even one day out of seven to do something for yourself. Ring a line speak to a stranger. Buy something nice .organise a drawer . Start slow and build up . Start with you and your confidence and then build up to others .
@@ld8483 I’ve definitely matured since my last comment. You’re right… I had depression. It got worse before it got better but the key is to keep your chin up and pull through. I took other commenter’s advice and tried to give myself more reliable hobbies. Took on a job at my favourite place, quit university and worked on myself and my identity for a little while. Made sure I wasn’t isolated. I’m not in the best position but I feel confident and energised. Thank you for taking the time to read my rambling. I appreciate it, kind stranger.
I realise this is highly characterised but I wanna know if kids today are still like this (the teenage angst stuff)? I know my gen was (a tiny bit), but does this sketch still apply today? If not I would say the internet is a contributing factor, kids today are much more "worldly" due to so much information being available.
WeirdCityCitizen: Oh, God, yes. I'm 19 now, so I'm moving past it, but I only just discovered this show and I was floored by its accuracy, hah. Absolutely nothing has changed, except now we play rave music from our mobiles at 3am, instead of the car radio, hah.
It's the same as it's always been, except now people can sit on the sofa or bed all day whilst using their phones or I-pads, so they are shut in, but they don't realize it until it's too late.
I remember when this first aired. I never realised that it would be discovered many years later and used as an instruction manual by an entire generation of idiots.
@@lol-de4lo No mate. Children, or I should say young adults have been getting away with incrementally more rubbish behaviour for many years. There will be a reckoning. Seriously, kids were not this shit 50 years ago let alone 100 years ago or 200. Yes, some similarities but they were not indulged. People were to poor and hard worked to put up with shite like that.
At about 2.09 Kevin is making a voice into the wing mirror, and it’s almost exactly Andy Serkis’ Gollum. Maybe a little subliminal inspiration (everything is a remix) or maybe both are based on a cat coughing up, as Serkis has said Gollum was based on. It’s pretty uncanny, and this predates the LOTR movies…
