Oh god no. Hyacinth Bucket? That's a fucking unfortunate cultural envoy no?

TheMercenary · 01-08-2009, 09:52 PM

I love that show.

DanaC · 01-08-2009, 09:56 PM

Really? Seriously?

I never liked it.

Ok, cool. I loved it. Funny as hell. Great escape. You probably hated Faulty Towers as well. Whatever.

DanaC · 01-08-2009, 09:58 PM

Oh no. Fawlty Towers was brilliant!

(you were talking about Keeping up Appearances right?)

TheMercenary · 01-08-2009, 09:59 PM

NO.

DanaC · 01-08-2009, 10:01 PM

Hand me my pearl-white slim-line push-button telephone with automatic last-number redial. It's an exact replica of one in Sandringham House.

My Royal Doulton with the hand-painted periwinkles will never do...

I wasn't allowed to watch the Young Ones, but the guy on the left was in Drop Dead Fred, which was one of my absolute favorite childhood movies.

DanaC · 01-09-2009, 12:37 PM

I was addicted to the Young Ones when i was a kid. Me and my bro used to do do impressions, we knew all the main lines of dialogue.

Next day at school that was all we talked about.

There was a Smpsons episode which baffled me. Bart was watching a British (English) sitcom, and the family were all really violent to eachother. I mean it was like Itchy and Scratchy, but realistic and involving the whole family.

I spent ages trying to work out what they were referencing. I may even have asked on here, because it genuinely puzzled me.

In the end, I decided it was The Young Ones (or one of the Edmondson/ Mayall spinoffs) translated into a family sitcom. Which they were never meant to be. But then I guess the casual violence of The Young Ones, Filthy Rich & Catflap and Bottom is shocking in its own way.

Shawnee123 · 01-09-2009, 02:27 PM

Wow, I just had a flashback. I think someone I used to know would talk about The Young Ones a lot, and maybe I watched some videos?

I'll have to google it and see if it's familiar.
