The Young Ones was a tv series from the UK which debuted in that country in 1982. In the later 80s it ran on MTV in the US, and later was re-run by Comedy Central.

Young Ones at a Glance 

The Young Ones is a popular British sitcom, first broadcast in 1982, on BBC2. Its anarchic, offbeat humour helped bring alternative comedy to television in the 1980s and made household names of its writers and performers. Soon afterwards, it was shown on MTV, one of the first non-music television shows on the fledgling channel.

The main characters were four undergraduate students sharing a house: violent punk metal Vyvyan (Adrian Edmondson), pompous would-be anarchist Rick (Rik Mayall), long-suffering hippie Neil (Nigel Planer), and the mysterious and diminutive Mike (Christopher Ryan). It also...

Young Ones Videos 

Here are some great bits from the Young Ones. The show could change direction radically in mid-episode and often had bizarre and sudden interludes, ala Monty Python. One second it could be doing a sophisticated spoof of history or pop culture, and then switch right to slapstick and crude humor.

Notable moments include Vyvyn getting pregnant, a rock concert benefit in the living room, the house being underwater in a flood, appearances by musical guests, a hamster named Special Patrol Group, a vampire by parcel post from South Africa, roller discos and explosions.
