    1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 !
    British deadpan humour is the best. I’ve never watched a parody comedy with such a high concentration of brilliantly delivered one liners as this.

      Agreed. He was a brilliant comedic actor and such a cool looking dude. I love him in Drop Dead Fred; a film I rarely hear mentioned. That's how I discovered him and I still love the movie today.

    If I were forced to pick one comedy that defined what I found funny in my teens, it’s this. The Young Ones was formative and anarchic - and planted the seed of going to University - but this made me cry with laughter. In my humble opinion, much funnier than spinal tap, as was the second one. Shit, we were so lucky to have such incredible, ballsy, smart, sharp and idiotic writers and actors doing this stuff when we were young.
