Rab87 Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Has anyone watched this show on E4 yet? Its about a guy called Will whos just moved to a public comp school from a private. I think its hilarious, one of the very few shows on TV I have actually LOL'ed at. http://www.e4.com/inbetweeners/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Tucker Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Better than any other British comedy at the moment. Better than Skins. Would really reccommend it, honestly think it's class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neobis Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I have seen this and thought it was rank! I am curious on the age of the two people above that have recommended it as I can only assume they have to be under 24 to find it funny? I may be wrong though, and if so I apologise.

Rab87 Posted May 17, 2008 Author Share Posted May 17, 2008 I'm 20, my brother in law, whos 37 was the one who introduced me to the show. You dont have to be a certain age to find things funny. I'm dreading hitting 24 if that happens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm dreading hitting 24 if that happens! I was not suggesting that in the slightest, however I found it in my eyes more "juvenile" humour. However as said that may well just be me.

jamboinglasgow Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I dont find it funny at all, it is awful as it plays on every sterotype of boys aged 16/17. I myself am 21 and should be similar to those guys but I am not. First time it was shown on TV was the night that Rangers beat Florentina, so me and my rangers mad flatmate was watching the final while having my female flatmate going on and on about how watching football is rubbish as she wanted to watch this program. Having heard some reviews of the program before I kept telling her the program is not very good. She watched it on E4 + 1 and when I spoke to her later she bit red faced said it was rubbish.

Chrambo Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Its class! I seen the adverts for it, and meant to watch it on the launch night, but forgot, and (unlike suggested earlier) it was my dad (39) who reminded me it was on after he watched it and found it hilarious. MUCH funnier than Skins, and so much realistic. Funniest bit so far was: 'Yous can come round mine, my dads out' 'Finally' Can't remember who said it, but it was hilarious!

Del1812 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Mmmmmm... quite a split view here. Doesn't look much from the adverts but think I'll give it a watch to see for myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makween Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I've seen a couple of adverts and think that it looks ****e. I'm rarely wrong with these things, generally because I've made my mind up before I've watched them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medico Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I watched a couple of episodes and thought it was cr*p to be honest. Maybe got a chuckle out of me once or twice, but not even nearly funny enough to follow it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 puerile and juvenile. ...which can sell a lot of comedy! I saw the first episode. Thought it was ok. Haven't watched another episode though which perhaps says more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neave Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 It seems to be aimed at middle-class 'scene' kids who 'hate' their lives. Utter bollocks, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Tucker Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 It seems to be aimed at middle-class 'scene' kids who 'hate' their lives. Utter bollocks, IMO. To be honest I think it's just aimed at the exact same audience as Skins was. Which is teenagers. I'm a teenager and I think it's quality. It's also got humour in it which 'adults' can appreciate as well. I do see why more 'mature' folk don't like it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree mate, and I found Skins so pretentious I hated it from about the second minute. Thing is though, everyone has different tastes and that's what makes the world go round; it'd be boring otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If everyone liked the same thing folk like Prancer wouldn't be even half as annoying as they are just now. FWIW I know a 40-year-old that likes The Inbetweeners. Just a matter of what you're into I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_HMFC Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Saw an episode last week and thought it was pretty poor, although not as bad as Skins which is just dreadful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makween Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I thought that it seemed pretty similar to Skins, in that I thought that both programmes looked ****e in the adverts so never bothered watching either of them. I prefer to watch thought provoking drama, like Hollyoaks for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also got humour in it which 'adults' can appreciate as well. I do see why more 'mature' folk don't like it though. Agree with that. I watched the first few episodes of Skins but thought it sucked the proverbial boaby. Whereas in The Inbetweeners they just take the **** out of each other and are really sarcastic which is what it was like at school and still is now. I just think I need to grow up.

Sexton Hardcastle Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Started watching this the other week and caught up on youtube. Its pretty good. best thing on at the moment. The boys dad is hilarious. having meaty **** in the caravan and in the bogs at the caravan dance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughesie27 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Skins actually had a story that progressed through each series whereas from the 2 episodes of The inbetweeners it just seems like they go on a different 'adventure' each week. It is good though as was Skins but for different reasons. Both pretty much sum up school life and avoid that ridiculous 'London gangsta' look.

Sexton Hardcastle Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Too many people are comparign it to Skins. The only comparison is that it fills its sort of time slot and repalces it. Completely different kind of series. Dont know about other people but i can relate to it quite well. Theres characters in it i could give names to that were in my year or there abouts in high school. Doesa deent job of summing up that age as you say hughesie. "Oohhh friend... Football Friend" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toggie88 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Watched the first episode and though it was ****e. I also thought skins was ****e as well fwiw. I've watched a couple of more eps though, and I have to admit that it's grown on me. It's pretty unrealistic tbh, but can relate to life as a teenager. It's absolutely nothing like Skins tbh, the only comparison being that it is aimed at the same age group. It's more like Peep Show tbh, where they have a geeky, socially akward guy as their main character. "friend....new car friend" After rewatching skins from the start, I actually think it's pretty class. Once you get past the unrealistic aspects of the show, it's pretty entertaining - it's got more character analysis and they also develop very well imo as the show progresses. Nearly Famous was another good show, which was sort of a cross between the OC, Fame and Skins. Think it's been cancelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
