🌟 Hey everyone! I appreciate all the love and support you've shown me over the years 🥰 Many of you have asked how you can help with my dream of having a small farm/ranch with the goal of helping animals in need. I'm excited to share that I've set up a GoFundMe to help make my dream a reality hopefully a wee bit sooner. If you'd like to contribute, please check out the link below-every little bit helps! Thank you for being part of this journey! 🙏❤ gofund.me/70c815cb
Fun fact: the band in this episode, The Damned, had actually broken up, but decided to make a small reunion just for this episode. When they finished taping their segment for this show, they remember how much fun they had and decided to reform The Damned. After the episode was finished, the cast went to get some food with the band and while they were eating the band had an arguement and split up again that very evening. So yeah, the Young Ones was responsible for the shortest reunion ever.
The memories that I love are reminding me that I hate you! (Not you Dawn, doing a bit here) [fade in, dramatic piss music like an idiot just learning to play piano] I hope that you are never in a band, or if you're considering joining a group, help is just a call away. Someone with a fucking brain will tell you that all musicians are right pricks, and you can do other shit before you die. [Fade out to an advert for a super high glycemic index pile of liver-hate] Because life is stupid.
Are you sure? These must have been especially brief splits because they were gigging in '83 and '84 (Captain formally resigned after the Brockwell Park gig) and their singles-chart comeback was a year later.
@@Grithron2 That's what they said in a documentary about the Young Ones, so pretty sure. Captain Sensible was still part of the band at that time. In fact, he's the "reason" for the argument. He let the others hear what he was working on, which another member thought was trash and things just got heated.
Yep, Ed Bye mentioned this in the How The Young Ones Changed Comedy documentary! Made me laugh when he spoke about the argument in the Indian restaurant - he said they all started throwing onion bhajis at each other 🤣
The Damned is a well known British goth punk band that started around the same time as Sex Pistols & The Clash. They wrote the song Nasty for this episode & it's definitely one of their best songs.
I remember the mid-1980s lineup we had for this show here in the US on cable channel Mtv: Monty Python's Flying Circus, then The Young Ones, then Comic Strip Presents. One one particular evening, I watched Terry Jones linger into the Young Ones episode that followed, and then Rik, Nigel, and Ade lingered into the Comic Strip episode after that. it was pretty cool.
Video tape players were new back then (I used mine to bootleg The Young Ones off MTV) and were very expensive so not everyone had one. You'd go to little video rental stores that popped up everywhere and of course all the nasties were in a small area behind a curtain. Your friends would call you up and ask if you were going to watch a video - they didn't care what it was, they just wanted to see it work.
To clarify - there were video recorders in the '70s but only the very wealthiest (and Bob Monkhouse) had them. As of 1984 they were still expensive enough that people preferred to rent them (I might mention a certain song by The Fall here...)
I remember being a kid and using my very first video recorder, and the fast-forward option sounded like a dentists drill 😂 I even remember projector film with reel to reel metal containers 😂 God, I'm old
yes indeed .. that's Whatsisname from Monty Python. The band was The Damned. (one of the earliest punk bands .. but tarted up by the time of this) eg... New Rose (1975) ua-cam.com/video/TUxFQ5QBiYk/v-deo.html The flashing images .. this was the dawn of the home Video Recorder .. so this was them getting everyone to mess with freeze frame.
I think the flashing images might have been a joke in reference to subliminal images, but they made them intentionally visible for a longer time so that you would actually see them.
@@jamesdodds9407 the scene about people being ran over by cars while a man with a cricket bat hits soft objects is also missing. There is a new blu ray release with extras it could be on that.
"Video nasties" was a brief thing in the 80's, where the UK banned a selected list of horror B-movies from video stores for being too gory, sadistic or, well, nasty. They were still available for rental in the US, and needless to say, every British fan tried to get a peek at the forbidden fruit.
When you first mentioned 'Monty Python' I wanted to tell you Terry Jones makes a cameo but I was looking forward to seeing your face. The other two guys with Terry in the scene are another iconic British comedy duo called 'Hale & Pace' They had a very successful sketch show which you should check out. They ended their episodes with a comedic song usually, a very talented pair. You should check out their 'Come to Spain' sketch or 'The Man Who Can't Take Anything Seriously' Pure Brilliance
@@Cheepchipsable I don't mean they were iconic when they featured in this episode. I used the word iconic as a way to describe there statue in British comedy today.
The flash images were put in to be a running joke in the series. The idea was that viewers would tape the shows and pause to see what the pics were and try to work out their relevence (there wasn't any - they were random) with a punchline frame in the last show. Unfortunately, the BBC powers that be decided that subliminal images were somehow dangerous and stopped the producer from putting up the final flash frame which was going to say 'I NEVER WANTED TO PUT ALL THESE FLASH FRAMES IN IN THE FIRST PLACE' -- Ed Wooden VT editor. Underneath it said ' SHUT UP AND DO WHAT YOU'RE TOLD FARTY BREATH'. The pics that were broadcast were the end shot of Carry On Cowboy, a skier, a potter's wheel, a running tap, a gurner, a dove, and a frog.
Apparently, there were complaints from people who thought they were being subliminally manipulated. I guess that turned out to be true because they were manipulated into overreacting to a silly, meaningless joke.
Cinemas in the US tried to put subliminal messages into film to get people to buy more drinks. Even though it was never proven to work it was eventually banned, since they probably didn't know what effect it might have. Wondering if he UK might have had similar laws?
Priceless! Brilliant reaction to an incredible show. As much as I love the Bambi episode, this may be my actual favorite. I'll change my mind again after Sick though. But the Terry Jones cameo was awesome. And there was just so much to laugh at in this episode. 😀
Your comment at 5:25. VCRs were just starting to be affordable to the masses. The Young Ones would put a few frames of random pictures in the program so that fans of the show would try and pause on those few frames. Not an easy task with the VCRs of the time. My favorite inserted video is when the actors switched characters.
Those flashes were a few frames of random stuff they added to episodes. We used to record the episodes on MTV and see what they were. I think one was just a frog.
When the YO was on MTV in the late 80s we had no choice but to wait a week for Sunday Night and a new episode. We were addicted as well. I can’t tell you how much I’m enjoying watching you enjoy them as well!🙂
The mailman who got applauded was Harry Secombe: one of the three Goons, very famous British comedians of the 50s. The other Goons were Peter Sellers and Spike Milligan.
As I understand it Terry was very happy to work for the new generation of comics, the band were The Dammed goth music had some good hits. The screen flashes are all through season 2 just for the hell of it.
Not just Terry Jones and Alexei Sayke, but Arden & Frost, Hale & Pace, Dawn French and (not Saunders) Helen Atkinson Wood, and Daniel Peacock, and Arnold Brown and.... an all-star who’s who list of the early 80s alternative comedy scene.
I've been wondering if you've been able to see the original broadcast version, or the censored ones. For example, when Neil is in the bathtub in the original and Rik turns the light out, Neil starts singing "Hello darkness my old friend" from "The Sound of Silence". But that was taken out later thanks to copyright issues.
@harry hill possibly? That or it's just obscure enough to have fallen out of the cultural consciousness. Like The Young Ones before it, it had a very short run.
@@radicaladz it has a seriously loyal cult following that hasnt dwindled. The fanbase for the Cornetto Trilogy was based on the Spaced audience. For people who were clubbers in the 90s it was a very deal. The only issue with younger people is whether or not they get the cultural references.
If you haven't seen The Good Place yet it would be a good show for you to see. Great cast, really good writing, every episode ends with a cliffhanger and there are multiple wtf things that happen.
After Terry passed away, Ade Edmonson said they had invited all of the Pythons to be on the Young Ones. Terry Jones was the only one to take them up on the offer.
Though in Michael Palin's diaries he mentions going to the "Comic Strip" and saying he found "20th Century Coyote" (Rik & Ade) to be the funniest act he'd seen for a while.
I'm not sure but wasn't Dawn French's use of "period pains" one of the first times it had been used on TV? Seem to remember it still being a bit taboo in those days...?
They had already broken up at that point, and made a reunion just for this episode. They decided to keep going right after, but split up again that very evening. Shortest reunion ever.
I think if you want to react to a movie that few people have touched yet, My Girl (1991) and A League of Their Own (1992) are excellent chick flicks. Romancing the Stone (1984) is a great chick flick action movie, but it’s a little older. I think you’d really enjoy those though. My Girl has a terrific soundtrack. It’s a coming of age story and Macaulay Culkin is the love interest with Dan Aykroyd and Jamie Lee Curtis also starring. No joke. Culkin’s best role. Great movie. I grew up with it.
IF THEY haven't suggested this yet...your next comedy show to watch should be The Kids In The Hall...there is even a clip in their bio movie on Prime where the Monty guys praise the show and pretty much all universally consider it to be the spiritual continuation of Python...BUT then again there is another beloved one called Mr Show featuring 2 guys you will instantly recognize, as well as many guest stars you will know, to me they're basically equal except Kids has more beloved kids in the cast, 5 vs 2, and they're all super great...no unnecessary 5'2 men in sunglasses in that cast. 🤭
I always thought the flash frames were due to the BBC reusing old tapes when I first saw these episodes back in the 80s, but there some kind of in joke.
One of the producers of The Young Ones, and other BBC television programs felt that every sitcom needed to a family-type foundation. There should be a mother-type character, a father-type character, a boy-type character, and a girl-type character. If you think about it, Mike is the father, he doesn't speak much, and is the leader of the house. Neil is the mother, he is the one that does the laundry, goes to the grocery store, and cleans the house. He is the most submissive and thinks everyone takes advantage of him. Vivian is obviously a rebellious boy personality. pRik is the daughter/girl character.
@@AlmightyCRJ Holly is the father figure, Kryten is the mother figure, Lister is the boy/son figure, Rimmer is the girl/daughter figure. Cat, could be another son.
Two other series to look into: Filthy Rich & Catflap; Bottom. They have Young Ones connections. I don't find them as good as the Young Ones, but they are a way to continue with many of the cast (who, to be sure, have done many other things)
Legends. How was this comment not liked? Just because they're not mainstream rock doesn't mean they're not superior to it lol. I'm from USA, and I think the Damned are very important in British rock history! Go see them, they are healthy and reliable in their old age!💥🎸🦇🥀
I love how you continue to get attached to these old characters, first with the Monty Python cast and now with The Young Ones. When you finish this series and move on to a new one, I hope you'll consider "Absolutely Fabulous" with its cast of female actors anchoring down some hilarious characters. Jennifer Saunders, Joanna Lumley and Julia Sawalha will make you piss yourself laughing. It's more of a situation comedy like Fawlty Towers than a sketch comedy like Monty Python, therefore the characters are more consistent over the series arc and the plot narratives are less random, although it is still shot in an episodic manner rather than a chronological serial style.
I told you there was a Python in this one lol the same scene also has Hale and Pace who were also famous comedians. The woman who played the devil was Dawn French of French and Saunders who married Lenny Henry. Jennifer Saunders is in a few episodes as well she married Vivian in real life. Video Nasties was the name given to a bunch of horror movies in the 80s that MPs tried to ban as they were seen as too extreme. These episodes dont look censored as some parts in this Ive noticed are missing from the ones on iPlayer. This is by far the best episode. Also dont try and pick apart the continuity of what happens to the house etc. The house gets destroyed a few times and they possibly die a bunch of times as well throughout the series. Kinda takes the edge of the finale...
I would recommend watching "Bottom", which has Rick and Ade out of "Young Ones" once you have finished with the latter. Full episodes may not be available though on UA-cam, but there are compilations, best bits etc. Scammer alert, I got a response from a scammer after posting, please be careful.
My second favourite episode after Bambi. I'm posting this before watching, but i'm wondering if you will recognise Terry Jones from Monty Python in this.
I well remember the Video Nasty era, another reason this is my favourite ever episode. If I remember, Nasty (the song) was written specifically for this episode - the band had broken up, reformed briefly, then directly after recording this episode, they had a fight at a restaurant and broke up again 😅🤣 The box set of the series has a load of documentary stuff, i'm sure I heard it there... And yeah, The Damned were brilliant! Finally, Dawn - Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - 6 episodes, brilliant stuff, you definitely need to watch it!
@@MrFox-wn5jtInteresting! I think that information might have been stored in my brain but lost at some point. The Damned are still going today, aren't they.

My favorite line from this entire show! "Do you dig graves?" "Yeah, yeah, they're alright."
Yes!!! Lol Since I first saw this 35 or so years ago, this has always been my favorite joke of the entire series.
@@ubit397 2023 still laffffin at that, simple things please simple minds ,
Leslie Neilsen would have been proud of that one
You are the a🎉bsolute business, your laugh out of this world, I think it's brilliant that you like The Young Ones, from Glasgow Scotland.🎉
Dawn's laugh after the photosynthesis joke (from 3:32 to 3:42) is pure gold and sunshine!
The Damned is a well known British goth punk band that started around the same time as Sex Pistols & The Clash. They wrote the song Nasty for this episode & it's definitely one of their best songs.
Yeah, Terry Jones and the other guy is Noman Pace from Hale and Pace.
Both Hale and Pace were in this episode. 🙂
@@mcborge1 Missed him :(
The Young Ones made a remake of Cliff Richard's "Living Doll", with Cliff himself. You might like it.
I think the opening credits are supposed to evoke the British Hammer Horror films of the 60's and 70's. Great stuff
Yes, Terry Jones.
I remember the mid-1980s lineup we had for this show here in the US on cable channel Mtv: Monty Python's Flying Circus, then The Young Ones, then Comic Strip Presents. One one particular evening, I watched Terry Jones linger into the Young Ones episode that followed, and then Rik, Nigel, and Ade lingered into the Comic Strip episode after that. it was pretty cool.
Lots of alternative comedians in this.
Funny thing about mentioning Frankenstein, but Alexi was in an 80s version of Frankenstein that has Sting in it.

I think the flashing images might have been a joke in reference to subliminal images, but they made them intentionally visible for a longer time so that you would actually see them.
After you finish "The Young Ones", you can always react to "Filthy Rich & Catflap", and "Bottom", which star most of the cast of "The Young Ones".
I was going to recommend both of those, as well as the Dangerous Brothers.
Yup, that’s the late Terry Jones as the vicar.
That scene with the teddy bears was actually cut from the dvd versions.
not on the iPlayer version either
I'm sure Neil singing the line from Simon and Garfunkle song was also cut in some versions.

Video recorders were new in the early eighties, and they were expensive, I couldn't afford to buy one so I rented one, it cost me £17.00 pcm on 1983

A few seconds of music cost a ridiculous amount of money.
My favorite episode of all time is next!! Can't wait for you to watch "Sick!!!!"
Check out Spaced by Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright. It was basically the test run for a lot of the stuff they would do in movies later on.
Yes, definitely. You will LOVE Spaced.

They had already broken up at that point, and made a reunion just for this episode. They decided to keep going right after, but split up again that very evening. Shortest reunion ever.
3 cool songs from 3 different styles of music. Ride Of The Valkyries & Terror 404 & Welcome To The Jungle.

Most of these guys are in The Comic Strip Presents
"Oh have we got a video?"
I think if you want to react to a movie that few people have touched yet, My Girl (1991) and A League of Their Own (1992) are excellent chick flicks.

Did not see the band performing in your video but going by the episode and a lapsed memory it may well have been The Damned.
video tape players were very expensive in the early to mid eighties
yes. that was monty pythons Terry Jones. Cheers Dawn
Maybe the series with two persons that played on the Young Ones, Ade Edmondson and Rik Mayall and it is called Bottom ! 😂
IF THEY haven't suggested this yet...your next comedy show to watch should be The Kids In The Hall...there is even a clip in their bio movie on Prime where the Monty guys praise the show and pretty much all universally consider it to be the spiritual continuation of Python...BUT then again there is another beloved one called Mr Show featuring 2 guys you will instantly recognize, as well as many guest stars you will know, to me they're basically equal except Kids has more beloved kids in the cast, 5 vs 2, and they're all super great...no unnecessary 5'2 men in sunglasses in that cast. 🤭
I always thought the flash frames were due to the BBC reusing old tapes when I first saw these episodes back in the 80s, but there some kind of in joke.
One of the producers of The Young Ones, and other BBC television programs felt that every sitcom needed to a family-type foundation. There should be a mother-type character, a father-type character, a boy-type character, and a girl-type character. If you think about it, Mike is the father, he doesn't speak much, and is the leader of the house. Neil is the mother, he is the one that does the laundry, goes to the grocery store, and cleans the house. He is the most submissive and thinks everyone takes advantage of him. Vivian is obviously a rebellious boy personality. pRik is the daughter/girl character.
Opposition to this middle class living room sofa style of sitcom is why Paul Jackson ended up commissioning Red Dwarf.
@@AlmightyCRJ
Holly is the father figure,
Kryten is the mother figure,
Lister is the boy/son figure,
Rimmer is the girl/daughter figure.
Cat, could be another son.
Two other series to look into: Filthy Rich & Catflap; Bottom. They have Young Ones connections. I don't find them as good as the Young Ones, but they are a way to continue with many of the cast (who, to be sure, have done many other things)
Check out Rik and Ade's The Dangerous Brothers as well.
9:15 Actually, someone did.
Yeah the guy from Monty Python actually he’s a historian he’s quite the intelligentsia
Have we got a video then?
The Damned were the band in this episode, and they're the best band in history
Legends. How was this comment not liked? Just because they're not mainstream rock doesn't mean they're not superior to it lol. I'm from USA, and I think the Damned are very important in British rock history! Go see them, they are healthy and reliable in their old age!💥🎸🦇🥀
I love how you continue to get attached to these old characters, first with the Monty Python cast and now with The Young Ones. When you finish this series and move on to a new one, I hope you'll consider "Absolutely Fabulous" with its cast of female actors anchoring down some hilarious characters. Jennifer Saunders, Joanna Lumley and Julia Sawalha will make you piss yourself laughing. It's more of a situation comedy like Fawlty Towers than a sketch comedy like Monty Python, therefore the characters are more consistent over the series arc and the plot narratives are less random, although it is still shot in an episodic manner rather than a chronological serial style.

Yep that’s the guy from Monty Python
I told you there was a Python in this one lol the same scene also has Hale and Pace who were also famous comedians. The woman who played the devil was Dawn French of French and Saunders who married Lenny Henry. Jennifer Saunders is in a few episodes as well she married Vivian in real life.
Video Nasties was the name given to a bunch of horror movies in the 80s that MPs tried to ban as they were seen as too extreme. These episodes dont look censored as some parts in this Ive noticed are missing from the ones on iPlayer.
This is by far the best episode. Also dont try and pick apart the continuity of what happens to the house etc. The house gets destroyed a few times and they possibly die a bunch of times as well throughout the series. Kinda takes the edge of the finale...
Cant wait for you to react to the Bottom series, it's The Young Ones turned up to 11...
Cheap straight to home video horror and slasher films a.k.a. "Video Nasties" were all the rage in early eighties Britian.
Damn damn Damned
👍👍👍📺
Yeap, your Terry Jones from Monty Python.
"Alexei who?"
Dawn
I think if I could spend one day with you my life would be complete…
The band was The Damned , you'd probably dig them
I would recommend watching "Bottom", which has Rick and Ade out of "Young Ones" once you have finished with the latter. Full episodes may not be available though on UA-cam, but there are compilations, best bits etc. Scammer alert, I got a response from a scammer after posting, please be careful.
My second favourite episode after Bambi. I'm posting this before watching, but i'm wondering if you will recognise Terry Jones from Monty Python in this.
Lol and you spotted Terry straight away, of course.
They are so cute
are you going to follow Rick and Ade in their other series like Bottom?
The band was the best (literally) band ever, The Damned.
Video Nasty was a common term for a horror film. It wasn't a Halloween special episode.
I well remember the Video Nasty era, another reason this is my favourite ever episode. If I remember, Nasty (the song) was written specifically for this episode - the band had broken up, reformed briefly, then directly after recording this episode, they had a fight at a restaurant and broke up again 😅🤣 The box set of the series has a load of documentary stuff, i'm sure I heard it there...
And yeah, The Damned were brilliant!
Finally, Dawn - Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - 6 episodes, brilliant stuff, you definitely need to watch it!
@@MrFox-wn5jtInteresting! I think that information might have been stored in my brain but lost at some point. The Damned are still going today, aren't they.
@@vict0rtayl0r A cursory internet search showed they're touring this year, so i'd presume so lol.
@@MrFox-wn5jt Yeah I was saying they are still going :) ua-cam.com/video/-iSbPP0siTk/v-deo.html
@@vict0rtayl0r That was excellent. I have no interest in any modern music, but a new Damned album... 😀
1:40 the vicker is one of the Monty Python you know the one who got arrested for exposing himself in public without a film crew nearby.
Oh...have you got a video??
Easily my favourite musical act on the show. The Damned then Motörhead
A comedy series I'm sure you would like is Greg The Bunny (The Fox sitcom version, not the crap UA-cam version)
Nothing's wrong with you Dawn, you just have good taste :)
