Neil from the Young Ones
Neil Pye (full name Neil Wheedon Watkins Pye as revealed in Neil’s Book of the Dead) is the pacifist, vegetarian hippy character from UK comedy The Young Ones.
Played by Nigel Planer, Neil is the most gentle and considerate of the housemates. You could almost think of him as the ‘Mother’ of the house.
Often picked on by the other housemates, mainly Rick but also Vyvyan, Neil remains unfazed and stoical in his approach to life. He’s also got some great lines in this iconic British sitcom!

And my pencil sharpener shaped like a cream cracker. And more gonks with a packet of Polos in each. And lead for my retractable pencil. And my retractable pencil. And spare lead for my retractable pencil. And chewing gum and pencils and pens and more gonks, and the guy says “Stop writing, please”.
