Yes, we have a video!
Seeing that graphic makes me even SADDER :(
I never saw any of this guy’s stuff. Any recommendations?
First, get a time machine. Second, go back in time and tell your 14-year-old self to watch The Young Ones, because it is an absolutely perfect punk anti-sitcom when you’re 14.
Unfortunately, I’m not sure if I’d recommend watching The Young Ones otherwise, even though I love it. If you watch The Young Ones for the first time as an adult, it might seem like an unwatchable bunch of people yelling at each other.
When my son was 15 he and I were watching an episode of Jackass. We were both laughing uproariously. My wife walked in and said “I know why he’s laughing – he’s 15 years old! What’s the matter with you?”
My answer was “You should understand by now that inside the chest of every man beats the heart of a 15-year old boy.”
As long as you appreciate situations that call for a delicate blend of psychology and extreme violence, you should enjoy The Young Ones. Or you can take a look at this fairly typical sample of the show.
