VHS Movie Reviews of The Young Ones - Oil/Boring/Flood [VHS]

Movie Review: Stuff the revolution--where's my 200 quid?
Summary: 5 Stars

OIL

This one is brilliant. Mike turns into Kim Jong II and forces the lads to mine the oil that Vyv has says is in the basement. The best part is Vyv--who turns into a bullyboy to keep the pathetic ladies' blouses of the house in line. Rick and Neil spend most the episode under Mike's boot. Then Rick stages a benefit concert for the opressed working classes of the house (Neil). Alexei Sayle sings a promo for Dr. Marten's (crap) boots with Radical Posture in the drawing room. Rick is sickened by the mass commericialization of the performance.

BORING

The boys try anything to stave off the black pangs of boredom. They play Vyv's new souped-up version of Monopoly where many of the answers are ammended to include doing something horrible to Rick. Neil digs his own grave in preperation for his big exit. Goldilocks and the three bears visit and are naturally bored.

FLOOD

Vyv reads the classic 'SS Death Camp Criminal Battalion go to Monte Casino for the Massacre'. Later, he falls into the secret world of Narnia and is nearly capsized by the Wicked Witch before locating the exit back to the cellar. Alexei Sayle plays Jerzei the landlord who drinks from the Coke Can Vyv has filled with a potion that turns people into axe-wieiding homocidal maniacs. He too winds up wandering around Narnia before finding the exit back to the cellar. He then grabs himself an axe and terrorizes the boys.
