Had to explain to my 6 year old tonight that I was sad that he had died because I used to watch his shows when I was little and they are the reason I laugh at things no one else in our family does.

Just quietly, I'm quite pleased that my 6 y.o. also laughs at the things I laugh at while everyone stares at us confused.

He was a bloody funny bugger and he had some incredible comedians working alongside him.

was one of my favourites.

The world is definitely a sadder place without Lord Flasheart

This house will become a shrine, and punks and skins and rastas will all gather round and hold their hands in sorrow for their fallen leader. And all the grown-ups will say, "But why are the kids crying?" And the kids will say, "Haven't you heard? Rick is dead! The People's Poet is dead! And then one particularly sensitive and articulate teenager will say, "Other kids, do you understand nothing? How can Rick be dead when we still have his poems?" And then another kid will say...


Massive part of my youth. I wore out many VHS tapes of The Young Ones and all The Comic Strip shorts. To this day I can regurgitate verbatim every line of every episode of The Young Ones and frequently break into impromptu renditions with my brothers. I'm so sad.

The "White mouse" was prob one of the funniest scences..

"Would mousy like a drink...here you go." dunks white mouse into a mug.." mmm mousy was rather thirsty...."

Poor dude wasn't that old either. Apparently he had some quad bike accident a few years back and wasn't the same after it. I've heard rumors he died of a seizure or something. Yes he was the best character on the Young Ones.
