Which "The Young Ones" character are you?

Inspired by the AbFab character thread, I’d thought I’d start this one

I’m a mix of the Bolofski brothers and Vyvyian Bastard…now where’s my bloody Cricket bat, gotta go thwack a hippie…

Vegetable rights and peace!

Bloody! Bloody! Bloody!

and

Shut up, you bastards!

Who wants some lentils… they’re just right!

FML

Rik all the way. I am so Rik I might as well have an iron-on cartoon worm on my y-fronts that says “Girl Bait.”

I’m…Rik, mostly. Only less of a pRik.

Artistic pretensions? Check. (Though I like to think I actually do have some talent. >_>)
Left wing leanings? Check. (Though not quite so much the revolutionary bent.)

Too smart for my own good? Well, it’s actually true, in my case, not just self-delusion.
Belief I’m way sexier than I really am? Nah, not possible.

I am at the intersection of Rik and Vyv, with a dash of Mike Thecoolperson mixed in…

I’m Neal. no question.

I’m totally Neil, with maybe a dash of Rik thrown in.

Rik, mostly. I’ve just finished a poetry collection (and it’s pwetty angry stuff! Just wait until the kids get their hands on it!), am pretty left-wing and think of other people I don’t like as fascists.

However I hate Cliff Richards and I had a crush on Vyvyan in my teens (studs stapled to your forehead is hot), which I’m sure the actual Rik would disapprove of.

Special Patrol Group.

Rik. I even have a badge saying ‘People’s Poet.’ :slight_smile:

I want one!

Bored, bored, bored, BORED!

a rare articulate outburst from Vyv

I do that. (Well, I often remember that scene and wish I could get away with it.) I had a team member who would often come into my cubicle while I was trying to work. I ordered a cricket bat for Comedic Intimidation™, only half of the department’s jobs were outsourced two days before it arrived.

I used to have ‘Bloody, bloody, bloody!’ as a sound that played when something or other would pop up on my computer. (Mail alert? Error alert? I don’t remember.)

I’m definitely SPG.

I’m outwardly Neil but inside I’m all Vyv!

Good Og, I would hope to never be any of them. The were all a complete waste of carbon.

ETA: However, I did find them funny back when I saw the shows and I don’t mean to imply even by mistake that any of you are a complete waste of carbon.

I agree with Jim. I’d be disappointed with myself if I resembled any of them. Mike is a self absorbed spiv. Rik is a vain, hypocritical asshole: to identify with him because he’s a poet, or a leftie, or smart misses the point. He’s not any of these things, he just likes to kid himself he is. Vyv is a psychopath. Neil is irredeemably pathetic.

Although, I suppose if I had to choose I’d choose Neil, just because at least he’s nice. He takes “nice” to whole new dimensions of pathetic, but still.

Not that I’m criticising the characters as characters: the show is a favourite and the characters are absolute classics. I just can’t identify.

You say this as if there’s something wrong with it. :confused:
