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

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

An 80s Tennis Player Costume? You Cannot Be Serious!

While most people opt for a pop star theme when dressing up for an 80s party or event, one option that is a little more original is to dress like an 80s tennis player. The costumes I'm about to show are obviously based on John McEnroe, and I'm dead serious! The short-tempered tennis star became infamous for his confrontational behaviour towards the umpire during the 1980s, screaming "Answer my question! The question, jerk!" (when he angrily threw his racket at the juice cart) and "You can't be serious man, you cannot be serious!" when he thought the umpire had made a bad call about the ball being out. He was often booed by the crowds for his rants, but it was hugely entertaining to watch! Embed from Getty Images The look above is the one you should aim for, and this is the most iconic. So let's take a look at the fancy dress costume options available... The white T-shirt and shorts outfit with red and blue stripes is based on McEn
