* The ''UniversityChallenge'' sequence in "Bambi".

* Vyvyan's rant against TheGoodLife:
-->'''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 [[ThisIsSPARTA I - HATE - THEM!]]
-->'''Mike''': That was a highly articulate outburst, Vyvyan. I only hope they're not watching.

* From "Bomb", the lentils scene.
** After the lentils are lost, Neil suggests cornflakes as an alternative. Vyvyan's response? "Cornflakes for breakfast? That's disgusting, Neil!"
** Rick getting his anarchist credentials by not paying his TV licence. To which Vyvyan replies,"What are you going to do Rick, burn your bra?"
** When the TV licence man shows up on their doorstep, Neil yells back that he has asked if they have a television, and adds "I'm gonna have to lie!"
** The attempts to get rid of the television. Dismissing Rick's plan to distract the TV licence man by saying "Look at that incredibly interesting thing!" while smuggling the television out dressed as an old lady, Mike tries throwing the television through the window - and it simply bounces off the glass. He then tells Vyvyan to ''eat'' the telly, which Vyv has always wanted to do.
--->'''Vyvyan:''' ''[pointing to the electric cord hanging out of his mouth]'' It's a toaster.
--->'''TV licence man:''' It's a telly, you yobbo! ''[grabs cord and pulls]'' Give it to me, I wanna nick yer!
** The TV licence man decides to lie in wait until Vyvyan passes the television. He asks where the bathroom is and is told "Upstairs, just follow your nose."
--->'''Vyvyan:''' It's alright lads, I always poo before I get up.

* The fact that Vyvyan is a ''medical student''.

* From "Sick", 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.
* The Christian door knocker being killed by a sandwich, then Neil and Rick's reaction to the sandwich.
* Vyvyan setting up a sawblade to slice Neil's bed in half, knowing that Rick would end up on it, because Rick thought that Vyvyan would've rigged his room somehow.

* From "Cash", Neil's letter (written by committee) to his bank manager:
-->'''Neil:''' "Darling[[hottip:*: Vyv's suggested replacement for "Dear"]] Fascist bully boy:[[hottip:*: Rick's preferred term for "Bank manager"]] Give me some more money,[[hottip:*: Mike's recommendation for requesting an extension on his overdraft]] you bastard.[[hottip:*: Vyv's idea, on the assumption that bank managers respect strength]] May the seed of your loin be fruitful in the belly of your woman,[[hottip:*: The translation of "Boom shanka", Neil's suggestion after Vyv overrules "Love" and Rick vetoes "Yours sincerely"]] Neil."
** The lads finally decide one of them has to get a job to solve their cashflow problem. They consult the "Situations vacant" pages in the newspaper... which are all blank except for a single Armed Forces recruitment advert (misspellings theirs):
--->'''Join the Profeshionels. It's graet! You can have a gun if you want! And there's money in it (not the gun)'''
** After Rick claims to have a perforated ear drum, Mike claims to have flat feet, and Vyvyan claims to be pregnant, Neil is nominated to join the Army. He is dressed in one of Mike's suits (which is several sizes too small) and has his hair cut (on one side only), then he is literally thrown into the recruitment office... and immediately thrown out again.
--->'''Neil:''' I only said I was a pacifist!
** Fortunately, a police recruitment office is just over the road; this time, Neil passes the interview (conducted by Alexei Sayle as "Mussolini")... as the only requirement is being able to make a "''Kkh!''" sound over the police radio.
*** His first assignment is to bust a wild party held by some of his fellow hippies. He starts by knocking at the door and shouting "Open up, it's the pigs!" The other hippies assume he has come as a guest and shrug off his claim that he has come to arrest them, until one of them discovers Neil's police radio:
---->'''Warlock:''' ''[into radio]'' Hello Earth, can you read me? This is Starship Captain Warlock from the planet Freakout, broadcasting to you on the interlectrogalactic airwaves! Can you read me, Earth?
---->'''Policeman:''' ''[over radio]'' We receive you! Do you require assistance?
---->'''Warlock:''' ''[amazed]'' Far out, man! Er, yeah, we require ten assistants! Preferably Swedish!
---->''[screeching tyres, followed by a horde of policemen smashing the door down and attacking the partygoers with truncheons]''
---->'''Warlock:''' ''[eating his stash]'' Oh no! I knew I should have stuck to rum punch!

* From "Time", the radio announcer is trying to warn the lads that Helen, the mysterious girl Rick found in his bed that morning, is a murderess, but as Neil has been knocked unconscious, Rick and Vyvyan are busy fighting over whether or not Rick is still a virgin, and Mike is trying to seduce the murderess (who is trying to kill him), no-one is paying attention...

** Vyvyan's first entrance is priceless - he smashes through the kitchen wall carrying a severed leg as the other three are eating dinner. Rick's simply shouts, "Vyvyan, you might have washed your 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.

* There's the lentils scene.
* ''Cornflakes for breakfast? That's disgusting, Neil!''
* Rik getting his anarchist credentials by not paying his TV licence. ''"What are you going to do Rik, burn your bra?"''
* ''"It's a toaster."''
* "upstairs, just follow your nose."
* ''"It's alright lads, I always poo before I get up."''
* And these just from the same episode, ''Bomb''.
* "I thought you were dead!" "That's no reason to hassle me on the toilet."
* (toilet flushes), "well that's put the rent up by a third."

* "Some of these bricks explode!" :D
** His brilliant plan to destroy their house before the council can demolish it.
* In 'Oil,' Neil accidentally stabs Vyvyan in the head with a pick. Vyvyan then stands up and says in a completely calm and polite voice "That's okay Neil. It was bound to happen sooner or later."
* The whole thing being due to Vyvyan lying about striking oil.
* ''"It's basically a cure...for not bein' an axe-wieldin' homicidal maniac!"''
* I'm normally easy going but being ill changes that (throws molotov into Rick's room).

* "Have you turned my bedroom into some kind of roller disco", "that's uncanny."
* Vyvyan setting up a sawblade to slice Neil's bed in half, knowing that Rick would end up on it, because Rick thought that Vyvyan would've rigged his room somehow.

* ''"It's basically a cure...for not bein' an axe-wieldin' homicidal maniac!"''

** May cross over into AccidentalNightmareFuel for some. Just imagine Vyv operating on ''you''. Brrrr.

* ''TheYoungOnes'' is viewed by many as perhaps one of the greatest, if not ''the'' greatest, sitcoms of all time, and here are just some examples of why:
