History Funny / TheYoungOnes

'''Ade!Mike:''' Okay, guys, come on. [[TheyJustDidntCare As the one guy said to the other guy when he was getting fed up, I'm getting fed up.]] I want to wash my smalls, and I don’t mean dip my tiddlies in a glass of water. Let's go.\\

-->'''Vicar''': Ashes to ashes-
-->'''Rick''': ''(singing)'' [[Music/DavidBowie Funk to funky, we know Major Tom's a junkie...]]
-->'''Vicar''': ''(grabs Rick by the lapels of his blazer and head buts him, knocking him into the open grave)'' Shut up!
-->'''Rick''': Help! I've fallen into a gwave!
-->'''Vyvyan''': Brilliant! Let's fill it in!
-->'''Neil''': No, we can't just bury Rik alive.
-->'''Vyvyan''': That's absolutely correct, Neil. *{{Beat}}* We better kill him first!

* Vyvyan lighting a Molotov cocktail and saying "It's funny, but being ill makes me lose my usual tolerant and easy-going approach to communal living!" before lobbing it into Rick's bedroom.

* A moment of {{Literal Minded}}ness from Neil:

-->'''Vyvyan''': No! No! NO! We're not watching the bloody Good Life! Bloody bloody bloody! I hate it! [[TastesLikeDiabetes It's so bloody nice!]] Felicity "Treacle" Kendal and Richard "Sugar-Flavored-Snot" Briers! What do they do now? Chocolate bloody Button ads, that's what! They're just a couple of reactionary stereotypes, confirming the myth that everyone in Britain is a lovable, middle-class eccentric - and [[PunctuatedForEmphasis I - HATE - THEM!]]\\

* When the drunken vicar (played by Monty Python's TerryJones) turns up, we get this gem:

-->'''Rick''':''(singing)''Funk to funky, we know Major Tom's a junkie.
-->'''Vicar''':''(Grabs Rick by the lapels of his blazer and head buts him, knocking him into the open grave)'' Shut up!

-->'''Rick''':''(singing')'Funk to funky, we know Major Tom's a junkie.
-->:'''Vicar''':''(Grabs Rick by the lapels of his blazer and head buts him, knocking him into the open grave)'' Shut up!
-->:'''Rick''': Help! I've fallen into a gwave!
-->:'''Vyvyan''': Brilliant! Let's fill it in!

* Mike's new room has {{Music/BuddyHolly}} in it, trapped in the ceiling by his parachute. Mike plans to get rich off of the songs Holly written based off his new insect diet, only for Holly's parachute to break, causing Holly to plummet to the floor. Mike, unfazed, grabs his guitar, thinking he can make a few bucks off of it.
* The house rules:
-->"No member of the house, even if attacked by rabid dogs (Vyvyan's addition), can take their clothes to the Laundromat with taking everyone else's*."
** "* Except for Mike."

** Then their homicidal landlord starts breaking into the room, and Neil suggests that they ''could'', maybe, consider eating '''him''' instead.

* The character-swap scene. Just switching their clothes (especially with the shortest character taking the tallest character’s role) would have been funny in itself, but the fact that [[StylisticSuck they deliberately play their new characters piss-poorly]] takes the gag up to hilarious.

** It also doubles as a CastingGag.

** Neil fills up the water jug with his own piss and then it's then thrown at the Footlights team.

* Neil's letter (written by committee) to his bank manager:

** As well as Vyvyan explaining that "dear" sounds too much like "Will you to go bed with me?" and "love" means "come get it like a bitch funky sex machine!"

-->'''Ghost:''' No need to get aggressive.
-->'''Rick:''' ''[Hysterically screaming in Neil's face]'' '''I AM NOT! GETTING! ''AGGRESSIIIIIIIIIVE!'''''
-->'''Neil:''' ''[Unflinching]'' You are, Rick. [[ComicallyMissingThePoint I can sense it]].

* Early in the episode, Mike comes into Neil's bedroom where the others have gathered holding a fish. He asks "What's this?" to which Vyvyan replies "A fish, Mike!" He leaves, satisfied. He then comes back soon after and finishes the question "What's this fish doing in my bed." Vyvyan replies, "It's not in your bed, Mike." He then leaves and comes back without the fish. "What's this fish doing in my bed?" The others reply, in unison "''WHAT FISH''?"

* The clueless bank robbery by the lads, which ends up working as Rick inadvertently foils a real robbery and gets the money using a water pistol.
** "I didn't get these from Tesco's, okay!"

* Neil prepares for the explosion of the bomb by reading the "incredibly helpful and informative ''Protect and Survive'' manual" and building a shelter under the kitchen table.[[note]] This episode aired at around the time studies into the effects of nuclear war were conducted which showed that the ''Protect and Survive'' manual's advice would be completely valueless in the event of a real nuclear war, as depicted in ''Film/{{Threads}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/WhenTheWindBlows''.[[/note]]

* The first of [[RuleOfThree three appearances]] of the "Have we got a video?" RunningGag:

* The RunningGag reaches its payoff when Neil shows up wearing a dress he found in Rick's room, complete with Rick's name sewn into it, and Neil and Vyvyan decide to call the police.

** And even better is his sudden ego deflation immediately afterwards-

* [[RunningGag "Oh! Have we got a video?"]]
-->'''Vyvyan:''' ''[growing increasingly irritated each time he's asked this]'' Yes! We've got a video!
** Especially when Neil asks him, and Vyvyan responds by smashing Neil's head through the window. Neil then complains, "I don't understand! Does that mean we have one or not?"

-->'''Rick:''' Mr. Vampire! Don't bite me, I'm howwid, I'm ''covered'' in acne! Eat Neil, he's stwawbewwy flavoured!
* The boys trapping the vampire to the sofa, leading Mike to quip, "Thank goodness for Habitat sofa coffins!"

'''Vyvyan:''' There's ''someone'' at the ''door'', Mike!\\
'''Neil:''' [[DuckSeasonRabbitSeason There's ''someone'' at the ''door''... Neil...]]\\

* [[EstablishingCharacterMoment Vyvyan's first entrance]] is priceless - he [[DynamicEntry smashes through the kitchen wall]] carrying a severed leg as the other three are eating dinner. Rick shouts, "Vyvyan, you might have washed youw hands!", prompting Vyv to walk over to the kitchen sink, kick it so that it falls of the wall, and wash his hands in the water flowing through where the tap used to be.

'''Rick''': Yes, Vyvyan, but it was nailed to the ceiling in the living woom!

* "Crop-rotation in the 14th Century was considerably more widespread after...John." [[spoiler:"...Lloyd invented the patent crop-rotator."]]
** Rick's previous attempt to complete the above sentence from memory was "after... 1172". Which isn't even ''in'' the 14th Century.

'''Rick:''' ''(glares at Vyvyan)'' Well, ''someone's'' got to do it, Vyvyan!

* Rick reveals his total ignorance of anything to do with women when he finds a tampon in one of the party guests' purses... and thinks it's "a telescope... with a mouse in it!"

* "Some of these bricks explode! ''Brilliant!''"

-->'''Rick:''' Have you turned my bedroom into some kind of roller disco? ''[walks past Mike into his bedroom]''\\
'''Mike:''' That's uncanny!\\

* Mike, upon learning they have a vampire trapped in the bathroom, comments, "This is actually very serious!" Mike, Rick and Neil all stare right at the camera...then Vyvyan dives past it in the background.

* Neil has outlined his plans to hang himself on a gallows that lights joss sticks and plays "Rock Around the Clock" when the trapdoor opens... except that the trapdoor is only a few inches above the floor, so that he doesn't fall far enough to pull the rope taut.
** Rick's reaction when "Rock Around the Clock" begins playing? An annoyed "Well, that's put the went up by a thiwd!"

* One of the teenagers being interviewed for ''[[ShowWithinAShow Nozin' Aroun']]'' complains about not being treated like an adult because he can't drink in pubs right after he sniffs some glue ''onscreen''. His constant bulging eyes makes him look psychotic, adding to the hilarity.
** Made even better by said teenager expressing his annoyance that people think "young adults are ''violent'', right," and lunging at the camera like he's spoiling for a fight as he does.

'''Rick:''' ... all wight then, ''have'' the bedroom!\\

-->'''Rick:''' ''(trying to close the door on Vyvyan)'' Vyvyan, this is ''my'' bedwoom!\\

'''Rick:''' Yes, I was hewe fiwst!\\

'''Rick:''' Look, I don't need witnesses, just get off my pwopuhty!\\

'''Rick:''' ''(runs over, grabs Vyvyan's clothes, kicks out the window glass, and throws the clothes out)'' No they'we not, Vyvyan!\\

'''Rick:''' ... all wight then, ''have'' the bedwoom!\\

'''Rick:''' You said it was youws just now!\\

'''Rick:''' Oh, very clevew.\\

'''Rick:''' ''(after a pause, shouts after Neil)'' Do you weally think that anyone has evew been the slightest bit intewested in anything you say or do evuh, Neil?! ''(sigh)'' God, fascist. ''(stands up)'' Awe you going to bed, Vyvyan?\\

-->'''Rick:''' Have you turned my bedwoom into some kind of wolluh disco? ''[walks past Mike into his bedroom]''\\

* "You just called me a ''bastawd'' didn't you?"

* The boys scrambling for the train in a parody of the opening sequence of ''Film/AHardDaysNight'', espeically Vyvyan stuffing [[JabbaTableManners an entire doughnut into his mouth]] and FlippingTheBird to a random woman (who promptly starts {{Corpsing}}), and Rick trying to steal a newspaper, only to run back to pay for it when the camera catches him doing it.

'''Mike:''' Yeah, well that's nothing! Neil got so bored he's gone down the garden to kill himself! [[AndThatsTerrible And it's his go!]]

'''Rick:''' Look, I don't need witnesses, just get off my pwopewty!\\

'''Rick:''' Oh, very clever.\\

'''Rick:''' ''(after a pause, shouts after Neil)'' Do you really think that anyone has ever been the slightest bit interested in anything you say or do ever, Neil?! ''(sigh)'' God, fascist. ''(stands up)'' Are you going to bed, Vyvyan?\\

-->'''Rick:''' Have you turned my bedroom into some kind of roller disco? ''[walks past Mike into his bedroom]''\\

* "You just called me a ''bastard'' didn't you?"
