And no... you can't say "I want to vote for Alexie Sayle" as he was not a Young One!!!!

i voted rick, although it was a hard choice! i just love his snotty, middle class sensibilities, and how desperately he is trying to rebel against them. ultimately he was going to end up married, living in the suburbs and driving a nice car, something that obviously filled him with abject terror. classic character.

I had to vote Vivian... "Even Mindless Violence is boring today..."

Would you like an "s" put in on the end of the topic title Svein?

hmm, its hard, are we talking fave as in who is the funnyest or fave as in whos attitude you like best? I mean attitude wise its gotta be vyv but i think rick is catylist to some of the best jokes!



'vyv, can you like, actualy overdose on lacsative pills?'

It's got to be Neil for me - either I identify with him or find his put-upon depression amusing, I'm not sure which.







Quotes found here.

I love Neil. I missed out on meeting Nigel Planer a few years ago as my best friend had just comeback from Africa. Probably just as well as guess i'd have done my Neil impression and ended up being ordered out of the house or punched in the face or summat. Apparantly Nigel Planer hates other peoples Neil impressions.

yeah, you do make a good case for niel too.......hmmm......glad i havnt voted yet!Its hard!

You seem to get a lot of mike haters!He isnt the funnyest of the lot but he does set up quite a few good jokes!I dont mind him!

Rick, all the way!

Neil....Vivian....Neil.....Vivian...

I'm going for Vivian. I like insane people.

Has to be Rick. Mike was ruined by rubbish acting in my opinion.

Vyvyan. Definitely.

After 20 years, no one knows how to spell his name. Me included.
Vivian, Vyvian, Vyvyan? Fuck's sake.

i always thought it was vyvyan

mike sucked hard.

vivian ruled.

What a hard decision. I liked Mike, I liked his attitude and he was always cool. I voted for Rik thought because he was the most pathetic (to me) without being too annoying. Also, he was closer to my sensibilities than Viv (who was also great too)

"Basically it's a cure... for not being an axe-wielding homicidal manic..."

How can anyone NOT vote Viv?

I am in no way surprised that he's your favorite, Svein.

Vyvian (sp?) every time.

'Toxteth O'Grady, USA'

Neil. Has to be Neil

'I'll die if I miss Scooby-Doo'

'Open up. it's the pigs'

NEIL: Listen everybody, I've, uh, stewed up some lentils and some seaweed as a sort of a last positive action. Hey Rick, man, what are you doing with my cruicifix, man?
RICK: I'm protesting!
NEIL: Yeah but I really think I should lay this one on you, man, that's a really negative way to kill yourself, you know, like, I've tried it, hundreds of times. There's no way you can hammer in the last nail.

VYVYAN: I thought you were dead.
NEIL: Well that's no reason to hassle me on the toilet!

hehehehehe

I can't decide on a favourite but it's good to read all those old quotes again.
Classic stuff!


Cheers

Still one of my fave young ones quotes is:

'Thats an elephant doctor'

'You unfeeling bastard sir'!

i just saw nigel planer walking down the road near blackfriars bridge, talking on the phone and looking rather groovy in a leather jacket.
had to come on here and spread the news!

Far out!

HAHAHAHAHA

No one voted for mike hahahaha, he was such a crap and boring character. hahahahahahaha

I voted for neil, hes so cool, I love the episode where rick kills him, and he grows back. We plant the seed, nature grows the seed and then we eat the seed.

We plant the seed, nature grows the seed and then we eat the seed, and then We plant the seed, nature grows the seed and then we eat the seed, and then We plant the seed, nature grows the seed and then we eat the seed.

hahahaha

I voted Viv because he is Viv.

Viv because I love Ade

Aww, gee how sweet.


And I voted, unsurprisingly, for Vyvyan:

"Look what I've found in my laundry bag - all of Felicity Kendal's underwear, that needs a goood wash!"


All the characters had their moments, even Mike, who was rather under-rated in retrospect.

"You hum it, and I'll smash yer face in!"

Suggs Vs. Rick

No contest

I voted Neil. Although i liked all of them, i couldn't sympathise with Vivian, and Rik used to make me cringe...and as other people have said Mike was a little boring. Neil was just great

I voted Prick ...with a silent P. I'm sorry he was Drop Dead Fred, he rules.

Hard. HARD question. If I didn't lust after Mayall so shamelessly, it would have been even harder.

And not one person voted for Mike. Surprising? No. But he was funny, come on - I mean, sometimes. OK, a few times. Poor Chris Ryan.

"hey vyv you dancing"

"You asking?"

"Im Asking"

"Well piss off"

Neil did 'Hole In My Shoe'. How could you vote for anyone else?

Does anyone else actually quite like Guesthouse Paradiso? 'Cause I do.

i have that on vinyl somewere!

edit: Hole in my shoe that is, not guest house paridiso! And yeah i have seen it, its ok, pretty funny at points, no bottom or young ones though, but hey, its got simon pegg in it!

I had Neil's Heavy Concept album...

"Oh no... here's the long scatey bit at the end!"
