  • Funny... But too sexual...

    8.0
    Well, It's funny, at times, though some teenagers aren't like this to be fair, and the show can get far too sexual... Seems they have to use sexual things to make a show funny these days. *sigh*
  • I want to hear from Inbetweeners fans

    I'm a PhD Student at Ohio University, and I'm interested in what fans of The Inbetweeners think of the different versions of the show. If you'd like to offer your perspective, I'd love to hear from you.



    I'm conducting online interviews through IM, it should take about 10/15 minutes.



    Your thoughts will contribute to work looking at US remakes/adaptions of UK TV shows.

  • Absolute Genius!

    I just watched all 3 seasons back to back, this show is just so damn funny that i'm almost lost for words. The antics, the vulgar, the comedy = Perfection. Can't wait for the next season.
  • Just brilliant...

    Painfully reminiscent of my own teenage years, The Inbetweeners is an unbelievably funny look into the lives of four awkward teenage misfits. Very cleverly written and very funny, it's a show I can watch over and over again and cry with laughter just like I did when I first watched it.
  • A classic, unforgettable adventure chronicling the transfer to a "dumber" education, as well as the awkwardness of growing up

    The Inbetweeners was a show about a boy named Will who, following the divorce of his parents, is forced to transfer over to a public school over from his original prestigious private academy. On his first day, Will is faced with problems regarding his posh private school nature clashing with the more lowbrow environment of public school. Not wanting to be considered a freak, he meets his own group of people to hang out with - three kids who all have unique personalities of their own. Simon is a somewhat shy boy with a hopeless crush on a girl who he had known for years, Jay is a sex obsessed person who constantly brags about sexual escapades that are obviously made up, and Neil is a dim-witted boy who always says the weirdest things. Together, they all get into crazy misadventures that always lead to Will learning a lesson at the end. Although some episodes are better than others, all of the episodes are all brilliantly written and funny in their own way. Jay, is by far, my favorite character. His constantly use of bad language and masturbatory/sexual references are always good for a laugh. My favorite moment of his has to be when he heard a rumor that a town they were going on a field trip to had a lady who has a fetish for schoolboys, and so he surveys different women around town to find her, EVEN going as far as hitting on an elderly woman running an ice cream stand, resulting in him getting slapped or yelled at. Simon is a great character for exploring the more sweet side of the show. While his language and overall demeanor is just as crude as the rest of the characters, there was a certain amount of empathy you felt for him regarding his problems such as his crappy, outdated car as well as his crush on Carli D'Amato, a friendly girl he knew since the age of eight who only sees them as a platonic friendship. The school's head counselor, Mr. Gilbert, is also a great character. He is a rude and vicious tyrant who take absolutely no crap from any of the kids and sometimes even goes as far as ridiculing parents on occasion, which is always entertaining to watch. But I, of course, have to give Will credit for being a complex and well developed character. The viewers just roots for him to find his place in with his new friends, as well as life in general to just get better for him.



    In short, The Inbetweeners was a fantastically written British comedy that has quirky and well developed characters and entertaining plots to boot. It is a shame that the show had gotten cancelled after only eighteen episodes and a movie - I would honestly like to see more. MTV did an American port of this show, which I tried watching, but gave up after about two episodes. Don't deprive yourself of this brilliant comedy - go on YouTube now and start watching. You won't regret it.moreless
