Never heard of him, but RIP nonetheless.

The Young Ones was a great show. RIP buddy.

It's mostly the 30-50 year olds that will know him I guess. And I don't know whether those shows were that popular with a US public, or mostly in Europe.

The Young Ones was a great show. RIP buddy.

Unbelievably genius show for its day and age. I had many friends throughout my 20s who were EXACTLY like each of these guys. Archetypes of dudes.

RIP!

RIP!

The Young Ones got me into British comedy. They used to show it on MTV

The farting hamster than ate all of the lentils is still one of the funniest things I've ever seen on TV. In fact, I think that's the first time I saw a fart on TV!

I haven't seen the Young Ones since the early 80s yet the minute I saw his name I knew exactly who he was. Quite sad he died so young. He was a funny guy.

Horseshit on the carpet, forever!

The Young Ones was freaking hilarious! Here's Rik reading a card while playing Monopoly (with the game modified by Vyvyan):

"Congratulations, it is your birthday. You may set fire to Rick's bed."

and

"Get out of jail free: you may keep this card, sell it or stick it up Rick's bottom! Vyvyan, you've ruined the game!"

Vyvyan: "I was bored!"

The farting hamster was epic. I really lmao at the episode where Vyvyan basically destroys the house. Same with when Rick borrows Neil's crucifix for "protesting" and Neil tells him that it's not a good way to commit suicide as he's tried it many times and that there's no way to pound the last nail in.

Damn that show was hilarious! RIP Rik.

Loved that movie. We had it on VHS cause a family friend wanted to see it, then gave it to us. Watched it to death.

So... was Fred real or was he like Tyler Durden?
