Thanks to Merlin Mann’s Bluesky posts, I’ve been watching The Young Ones clips on YouTube. First time I encountered the show was in Year 10 Media. It was the weirdest thing I saw at the time. 24 years on, it’s still weird, but I can understand the humour of it now.
I guess the lesson is that humour requires context to be funny. Otherwise, it’s just a bunch of people doing strange things that baffle you.
