Summary: Not the absolute hilarity I remembered
Review: But a cornerstone of Limey comedy none the less. I'd forgotten how VERY British this was. Lots and lots or references your average yank just isn't going to get, or even linguistically understand. But it's still brilliant. Ben Elton is a genius, even if he has sort of fallen off lately. I remember watching this on MTV in 198whatever and nearly soiling myself it was so funny. If you're a fan of recent BBC stuff and you've never seen the Young Ones, you should be flogged around the fleet. Buy this and gain additional insight into the minds of the League of Gentlemen and anyone else who is currently youngish and funny in the UK

Summary: It was the best present.
Review: I gave this as a gift to a Young One's fan ... They LOVED it. If you love the YO or know someone that does, this is a perfect gift!

Summary: "Because you're a complete b...... and we all hate you."
Review: The Young Ones were brilliant in their own right. Political incorrectness before it became fashionable and every episode completely hilarious. There's not much I can say about the series that hasn't already been said in other reviews. As a Young Ones fan since getting my first glimpse on MTV during the early 80s, I would strongly recommend this collection to anyone even remotely interested in the series. All twelve episodes on 3 DVDs plus two bonus episodes of "Filthy Rich" and "Bottom," the latter of which is just as brilliant as The Young Ones because it gives us Ade Edmundson and Rik Mayall at their obnoxious best. You can get those in PAL format, by the way.

Summary: Not your average predictable comedy.
Review: I was first turned on to the great cast of the YOUNG ONES when I rented BAD NEWS. After some convincing from a friend, I decided to spend the [money] and buy this DVD set. I have always been a fan of British comedy (Benny Hill, Monty Python and Absolutely Fabulous). This is not for everyone. I have alot of friends that would not like this at all. This is a fast, quick witted comedy that will keep you laughing from episode 1-12. This is a must have to your collection if you want something fresh. LETS SEE IF WE CAN GET "BAD NEWS" on DVD!!!!!

Summary: Oh, far out! Really great! WOODSTOCK!
Review: But seriously, this DVD is soooo great! I love it. I had all the episodes on VHS and the quality was pretty bad. However, the show looks and sounds great on disc. I'm so glad this was finally released! This is definitely one of the best TV shows ever--it's fun to watch, and it's very quotable (not that anyone knows what you're quoting, but hey...). Anyway, it is absolutely worth buying! Go for it!

Summary: Can you actually kill yourself with laxative pills?
Review: Finally! The Young Ones comes to DVD! The show has become a cult classic over the years - thanks to MTV running it back in the 80's. The laughs are still fresh and this is still one of the most unique and irreverant comedy shows to ever grace the airwaves. I've read some reviews that say that these episodes have been edited. That may be so, but it hasn't changed any of my memories of these fab four!

Summary: Classic humor and a must have item
Review: I had only seen a few episodes back in the day and remembered laughing my [head] off so I bought the set. I laughed all day at these guys and would highly reccommend it to anyone with a love for English humor. Yes the cut-to scenes of rats and vegetables talking are low budget but it's what they say, not what they look like that makes them so funny.

Summary: Buyer beware!
Review: This DVD won't play on your computer if you use Real One player, or Windows Media Player. PowerDVD won't play it either.It works fine on a regular DVD player. All twelve episodes of this brilliant 1980's British sitcom are included on two disks, with a third disk containing some rather weak bonus material. Typical BBC. Avoid the bonus episodes of "Filthy Rich and Catflap" and "Bottom" unless you're a masochist. Both are awful, even by UPN standards. This set is great for the hard core fan of the series, but definitely NOT worth the 50 dollar purchase price most retailers are asking for it. Get it used if you can.

Summary: Monty Python on acid....
Review: So bizarre, yet so simple... 13 episodes of four college students, all different, sharing a house that features an atom bomb in the living room, talking sandwiches, a shark infested flood in London, talking rats, fairies that live in the closet, and fire-bombing attempts on each other. It still doesn't cover everything. This was a brilliant series that was short lived because Rik Mayall (one of the characters) went on to do other things. This series has all the potential of Monty Python. It beat the hell out of Saturday Night Live. If you have ANY love for British comedy, this is your ticket. And I am never wrong.

Summary: UP !!!!
Review: "Every Stoopid Episode" - who could say more? "The Young Ones" was a brilliantly silly bit of British comedy that gave us hope in the bleak and pointless world of late 1980s American popular culture. Hands up - who remembers a really great mid-to-late 80s American sitcom that spoke to the unconventional spirit? I was (and am) an inveterate "Young Ones" fan, and the DVD set offers all the episodes and more.
