Movie Reviews of The Young Ones: Every Stoopid Episode
Movie Review: Quoteable lines and endures rewatching
Summary: 5 Stars
This is quite simply a unique comedy series. The spontinaety and nihilism displayed in this collection shows how politically correct the world has become in more recent times. The second series gets even more interesting as surrealist elements start to creep in further and further. In the end, the most disappointing episode is the last one - which comes across almost like a filler after some of the highlights of earlier pieces ("Sick" and "Bambi" being classic episodes). Alexi Sayles cameos and live bands playing as a mock intermission just add to the mahem. A great work which didn't make the mistake of taking a good yarn to too many episodes (12 altogether).
Summary of The Young Ones: Every Stoopid Episode
"Anything could happen!" declares Rik Mayall, co-writer and co-star of British TV show The Young Ones--and he's right. Though this manic comedy series centered around the petty bickering of four layabouts living in a communal house in London--paranoid, hyperactive new waver Rick (Mayall), dense punk rocker Vyvyan (Adrian "Ade" Edmondson), lugubrious hippied Neil (Nigel Planer), and would-be sharp guy Mike (Christopher Ryan)--at any moment the show could switch to kibbitzing rats or romantic vegetables, or Buddy Holly could be discovered hanging from a parachute in the attic. Bands (as varied as Madness and Motorhead) suddenly appear in their living room and pound out a pop hit. It all seems a bit spastic at first, but the frenzy grows infectious, becoming funnier the more you watch it (in sharp contrast to most sitcoms). The Young Ones aspires to have the elastic energy and surreality of a living cartoon and comes pretty close to the mark. Guest stars include Emma Thompson, Terry Jones of Monty Python, and Jennifer Saunders of Absolutely Fabulous. This compilation also includes a few documentary features and a couple of episodes from other sitcoms starring Mayall, Edmondson, and Planer (Filthy Rich & Catflap and Bottom). --Bret FetzerComedy DVD Video
