MBB for me. Didn't really find the Young Ones funny, although I liked Bottom.

What about Filthy Rich and Catflap? That was ace. Better than The Young Ones AND Bottom, IMO.

Young Ones beats Men Behaving Badly, for me.

Young Ones every time. I can still recite large sections of script as spent my sixth form obsessed with the series.

I want to vote Young Ones but the very simple line "I was wondering what colour your bush is" in MBB wins it for me.

MBB for me, I think The Young Ones is of those things that gets better in your memory the longer it is since you've seen it. A bit like Paul Scholes

Neither has aged well imo - I'd probably choose Men Behaving Badly (if you took Neil Morrissey and Leslie Ash out of it). Maybe The Young Ones then.

MBB has a level of pathos that The Young Ones doesn't. Gary's work situation is superb, you can tell he's terrified of becoming George yet can't do anything to stop it, because he's not really a proper "bloke".
 






Another vote for The Young Ones.

Men behaving badly was goo, very good, but The Young Ones was BRILLIANT, and my dad hated it so that made it even better.
