Favorite lines from "The Young Ones"

[Beware the Beast Man]

When the boys write a letter to the bank asking to loan money:

NEIL: Darling fascist bullyboy, give us some more money, you bastard..umm..love, Neil.

I miss this show, yet I can't justify spending $60 for the DVD set.

[ZenLefty]

11. Mike: What's this?

Vivian: It's a fish.

Mike leaves and comes back later.

Mike: No, you didn't let me finish my sentence. What I meant to ask was What's this fish doing in my bed?
Vivian: It's not in your bed Mike, it's in your hands.

Mike leaves and comes back later, sans fish.

Mike: Okay, I think I've got it now. What's this fish doing in my bed?
Everyone: What fish?

[Beware the Beast Man]

13. VYVYAN: Oh yeah. Uh, this is a friend of mine called Mike...

and of course Vivian's entry to win the Ford Tipex from the Corn Flakes cereal company.

"corn flakes corn flakes corn flakes corn flakes corn flakes corn flakes corn flakes corn flakes corn flakes corn flakes corn flakes corn flakes corn flakes corn flakes corn flakes corn flakes corn flakes corn flakes"

And when the boys play monopoly-

the first episode...Rik was watching his favorite show "Nozin' Around"? :D

I get that theme song stuck in my head from time to time...it's one of the few earworms I can tolerate cos it makes me laugh. :7

[underpants]

38. SPG

The Hamster named after Special Patrol Group

41. Cool! Were The Pop Group on?

I seem to remember hearing 'We Are All Prostitutes' on it.

[Whitacre D_WI]

45. Don't forget the Damned.

"Video Nasty" is probably my favorite post-Brian James Damned song (the only real competition being "Smash It Up" -- though, to be fair, VN wouldn't claim the lofty status it does if it hadn't been in a Young Ones episode).

[Screaming Lord Byron]

46. Yeah, i'd forgotten. High cool.

[fishnfla]

48. Lady: "Do you dig graves"

neil; "yeah,yeah, they're allright"
