The Inbetweeners [Season 2]

Dean820

I can't wait! It starts next Thursday. If its even half as good as the first series I'll be happy. After the third series of Skins, a few friends (fellow fans) of mine are kind of worried it will end up a huge disappointment but I have faith in the writers and the cast. Thoughts?

Can't wait. Watched the entire first season in the one night on youtube and have rewatched them on tv too. Best comedy around atm and far better than most of the repetitive ****e that comes out of the states these days. Special mention for CYE which is good aswell.

Biggins

Great show. It sucks big time thats its only 25 minutes long though.

Catari Jaguar

I love love love this show! Can't wait! The ad for the new season is hilarious, they're so cute

Sir Oxman

Great craic, can't wait.

Glad that I got in on the ground floor on this. Brave, straight-forward comedy. Put's RTE's efforts into damning context.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Just started watching season 1. It's hilarious. Hope to have the first season finished before Season 2 starts on Thursday.

And season 2 is only 6 episodes long.

Season 1 was only 6 eps as well. I much prefer these shortened seasons tbh. It means that the writers have to stuff as many brilliant ideas into one show as possible as opposed to the practice in many American shows with 20 or more eps in a season where the writers have to dilute the jokes as they have so many more epsiodes to stretch the material over.

It's definitely a case of less is more with these shows - look at the likes of Fawlty Towers and Father Ted. People are still laughing at the same few episodes years on because each episode was crammed full of hilarity.

Can't wait for Series 2 to start this week.
The first series was the best thing on television last year!:)

kwestfan08

One of the best shows to emerge in years. Can't wait.

Peyton Manning

Simon: "She's gorgeousm, she's smart, she's amazing..."
Will: "Probably worth mentioning to her then mate...if thats how you feel..."
Jay: "Yeah...Why not mention it? Worst that can happen you get nothing, best that could happen - you get stinky fingers!"

steod

Absolutely love this show the casting of the 4 main characters is spot on. One of the very few comedies to make me lol in recent years.

Gekko

I forget the lead character's name but Senator Ronan Mullen is almost the spitting image of him!

The boat scene was hilarious.

Guy:Incognito

I nearly fell off my chair when

Neill punched the fish

mikom

The old spark was missing from tonight's episode.
Very drawn out in parts, and the ice cream old lady piece was just not funny, ending in a whimper rather than a bang.

Not exactly up there with the "football friend" episode.

Biggins

Disappointed by

the bashing of the fish

bit, otherwise it was funny.
Hope it gets back to form as with the first series.

shano_88

hilarious, i wasnt dissapointed at all!!

don't be, pretty sure it was a stunt double.
great episode imo.

Peyton Manning

I nearly pissed myself laughing when he was waving at the old woman in the bus.

Ginny

My OH hasn't seen it before and I was raving about it, I was a bit worried with the start of the episode, but by the boat trip I was crying laughing, and I stupidly took a gulp of tea just before Simon stood up....classic.

flyswatter

I thought it was very good last night. The show has a real comic spark.

JIZZLORD

Thought that it was a good episode. Neil is hilarious.
Shame Will's mum wasn't in this episode...

Hornswoggle

After the utter sh*te that was Skins season three, i was delighted to see the inbetweeners back on last night! Class as usual, especially

the fish punching bit

and

Jay eyeing up the granny

Can't wait for next week's episode. Wish it was a bit longer than 25 mins though

fourfiveone

Bloody good. Fish punching, Neil grooming, Sock wearing, Flare shooting comedy gold.

absurdtrivia

It is a great show.

On a side note, I just seen on the Bargain Alerts forum that season 1 is available on DVD from Amazon for £6.98 plus shipping.

Catari Jaguar

That was hilarious, I was in pain from laughing so much. Gotta love Neil and how everything just rolls off his back. Punching the fish.. classic 10/10

regob

quality first show didnt let us down

Basq

Thought the first episode was missing the spark from the first season but was still very funny.

Dean820

Very funny episode. Paedo Kennedy, the punching of the fish and the boat scene. Class show!

Holsten

Oh god the fish punching... soooo funny haha.

byte

Ah, the fish punching was hilarious, and for some reason when

Lauren shouts "is that a fish?", and Will shouts back "yes, it's a f*cking fish!"

I found absolutely side splitting.

Forgot about that, the way

he kept saying "be with you in a minute", while trying to start the boat and getting progressivly more annoyed was gas.

gary the great

Neill: Great, I used to go fishing with my dad. Jay: You used to go fisting with your dad

Great episode, footbalkl friends and the episode where they go the caravan park are my favourites, followed by that episode. Fantastic stuff. just ordered the DVD...

trivium

quality show, got the first season on dvd last year, will's yoda impression had me in stitches.

BroomBurner

Thought I'd bump this thread, saw The Inbetweeners for the first time last night on E4, the repeat of all what's mentioned above.

Absolutely brilliant. Can't believe I'm so late in coming to this, have to get a hold of the first season!

Jay is gas, expecially the

'she might just have an old face, on account of the gis' Cornetto bit.

biZrb

I think Jay is gas too, the stories he comes out with,

When they were all sitting in the boat talking about going out to sea and Jay said 'When I was in Spain last year me and my friend took out a pedlo and ended up in Africa'

Catari Jaguar

Jay is so gross and hilarious *Frothing at the gash...*

Just watched season 1 again. Brilliant. Can't wait for next episode tonight!

W.B. Yeats

Love this show
Reminds of being a young lad!

Cina

Christ, I could not stop laughing tonight.

"If there's grass on the pitch, balls out!"
"What if there's not?"
"Well it'll be too late by then anyway"

Basq

The second episode was much funnier than the first.

Funniest moment was the lads watching Simon getting the HJ from the girl.. and watching them enjoy it at first.. to Simon's eye contact with them.. to slowly show them becoming more and more horrified.

Also Will's awkward dialogue when telling the mechanics that Charlotte was a porn star (etc) was very very reminiscent of a young Mark from Peep Show.

Definitely the funniest show on UK telly in the last few years.. I've said it once and I'll say it again - the writers are top-notch. How they can make primarily teen comedy (sex / virgin etc. related dialogue) writing so fresh after years of stale teen comedies is an absolute testament to their writing ability!

Excellent stuff!

I think the reason it's so damned good is because they talk so reminiscent of how we did at that age. There's a Jay in just about every group (maybe not quite to that extreme)

Catari Jaguar

Wasn't keen on that episode. Was still good, but slower and cruder than usual. Will was a bit lame too.

turnfan

Excellent ep. This show brings back memories of events that probably never happened, but that I would have dreaded of at the time. And Jays old man is brilliant!

Big Ears

Loved that episode, thought it was hilarious(most episodes are to be fair).
Sometimes episodes can have lulls in them before big funny bits but this one was great from start to finish, top stuff
