The Young Ones 80s Comedy Tribute T-shirt

Pay tribute to the anarchic British 80s comedy The Young Ones, with this popular T-shirt for Men, which is availble from the Retro Tees store on Amazon.co.uk. The tee features a top quality photo print featuring the four main characters; Vyvyan Basterd (played by Ade Edmondson), Neil Pye (Nigel Planer), Rick (Rik Mayall), and Mike "the-cool-person" (Christopher Ryan).

As with the customer feedback, I recommend ordering a size-up, as the shirt is a little tight. That's the only negative, though, as the shirt itself is of excellent quality.

While BBC1 was still airing traditional comedies such as The Two Ronnies, this off-beat sitcom found a cult audience on BBC2, and helped bring the new wave of alternative comedy to our attention. It was violent, it was surreal, and it was a refreshing change from the old-school comedy which was starting to look a little stale.

So who was your favourite character? If I had to choose, then it would probably be the melancholic and pessimistic hippy, Neil, although I really liked all of the characters.

Black Scumbag College Young Ones T-shirt

Scumbag College T-shirt

You may also like this alternative T-shirt which pays homage to the most popular episode Bambi. It was the seventh episode of series one (first shown in May 1984), and after the repeat runs it became the most watched episode. It featured the housemates taking part in University Challenge, representing Scumbag College and taking on the very wealthy (and very posh) team from Oxbridge.

My favourite scene is when Vyvyan decapitates himself on the way to the contest, whilst going through a tunnel on the train - it had me in stitches!

The black T-shirt is available in adult sizes from small to XXL.

Blondie - Debbie Harry - 70s and 80s Fashion Photos

Embed from Getty Images Debbie Harry Fridge Magnet Back in my school days (yes, it was a long, long time ago!) many kids associated Blondie purely with lead singer Debbie Harry, although Blondie was actually a band, and a damn fine one, too. It's not hard to see why. After all, she oozed sex appeal and became a style icon, and many of her looks can still be seen on the high street today. Harry's designer friend Stephen Sprouse can claim responsibility for many of those looks. He created every style you can imagine using denim, black leather biker jackets, camoflauge, wayfarer and aviator shades, pink and girly styles, nautical stripes, animal print catsuits - the list goes on! I find it amusing that in 1998 Britney Spears caused controversy by wearing a school uniform for her video "Hit Me Baby One More Time". How quickly we forget that Debbie Harry had done this two decades earlier! After forming in 1974, Blondie became pioneers of the punk and new wave s

Kia-Ora 80s TV Advert - I'll be your dog!

Anyone who watched British TV during the 1980s (or went to the cinema) will remember the Kia-Ora crows advert featuring the slogan "I'll be your dog". You may well remember the Kia-Ora drinks in plastic cartons which the usherette used to sell in the cinema. They also sold them in our local youth club, although sometimes it was Tip Top orange, which kind of tasted like the carton. The advert itself was pretty bizarre but also a lot of fun. It featured a child wearing a straw sunhat and carrying his belongings over his shoulder, while walking in the hot sun carrying an empty glass. Suddenly, a dog appears from nowhere and tips Kia-Ora orange into his glass. The sun wrings itself out into the glass to top it up. A crow is following the child and shouts "Kia-Ora!". The child replies "It's too orangey for crows, It's just for me and my dog." The crow replies "I'll be your dog!", and then starts barking. As they continue to walk, an

Create an 80s or 90s Acid House - Raver Look

With its squelching bass sounds (often created using a Roland TB-303 bass synth) and minimalist production, the sound of acid house first became popular in the latter half of the 80s, starting in 1987. The media were more focused on the illegal raves and psychedelic drugs, but in reality, a good many young folk enjoyed dancing to the new sound in nightclubs (including myself) without going anywhere near any drugs or illegal raves. What is synonymous with the acid house scene is the smiley face logo, and the T-shirt featuring the logo, along with tie dye and psychedelic clothing, and bucket hats which became popular with ravers. Baggy over the knee shorts were popular with men. Bandanas and dungarees/dungaree shorts were also worn by both sexes. Some ravers also had yellow whistles . In the early 90s, white overalls , hooded anoracks and yellow dust masks with an "E" , smiley face or radiation symbol also became part of the rave scene. Initially, the dust masks we
