Did anyone watch this on e4 tonight? One of the funniest things i've seen in ages...

Guy:Incognito · 02-05-2008 12:21AM

I really enjoyed it. ol'd a few times. Like when he puked on the kid.

Just read the synopsis and it's only a 6 parter. Boo urns.

MoominPapa · 02-05-2008 10:40AM

Without a doubt the funniest program in ages. I almost puked with laughter myself when that guy through up on the crying kid and as for bumder well you heard it here first

Toto Wolfcastle · 02-05-2008 11:18AM

Is it repeated? I'm in bog channel land 'til Monday and I'd really like to see it.

Mr E · 02-05-2008 11:25AM

I had it Sky+ed and watched the first one over breakfast.
I really liked it too.... very funny in places, and refreshingly adult (or juvenile, depending on how you look at it!)

homerjk · 02-05-2008 02:09PM

I thought it was absolutley great. Like a junior version of Peep Show with the mature type of comedy. Really smart humour as well... Im glad to see Channel 4 still have it because I was getting worried with that Skins crap and that Almost Famous or whatever it was called.

The puking scene and the fella giving yer mans "gay" dad guff were hilaryarse.

I really enjoyed the first two episodes. Comedy and style is somewhat similar to the Peep Show (which is no bad thing) and the main guy is very like a younger version of the chubby guy from the Peep Show.
The scene where he got sick on the brother was very funny.

I thought it was great. Very surprised actually because it didn't look taht great from the ads,but it was very funny and I laughed so hard when he threw up on the kid,hitting a woman in a wheelchair with a frisbie and then trying to get the frisbe back was also very funny.

angrylearner · 03-05-2008 01:32AM

ya it was really funny. bo-urns is right about having only six parts. I thought the main guy just had something about him which made him hilarious can't really explain what it is. I think its the complete lack of social awareness combined with the fact that he is not self conciouss at all to say whats on his mind

I tried to install it awhile back but my laptop started playing up soon after and I was told to uninstall it just in case. I might try again. Thanks.

That's great. I'll be back in proper tv land by then!

gazzer · 07-05-2008 11:17PM

Just watching this now. Its very very funny... that scene where he was abusing the dad and saying he was a bumder was hilarious.

iseegirls · 07-05-2008 11:33PM

Ah great show, just watched em now on E4. it's rare for a comedy to make me laugh and love the characters from episode 1. Looking forward to the rest of the show.

Harpy · 08-05-2008 12:38AM

just watched this really enjoyed it.very funny aw when he puked on the kid i nearly fell off my chair laughing..looking forward to watching the rest of the series.

phenomenon · 08-05-2008 11:33AM

Excellent show! I'm a teenager and i swear it's spot on as regards the way teenagers act/speak/think etc The whole scene in the pub where they paid some random fella to come sit with them so they could buy cider was hilarious. And the dumb kid with the fruit machine ha!!

MoominPapa · 08-05-2008 12:03PM

Watched the first two episodes again last night, possibly funnier the second time around, only one episode tonight at 10:00pm

tvnutz · 08-05-2008 10:35PM

Good episode tonight,not as funny as the last one but still very good. Laughed so hard when he called the handicapped guys inconsiderate a$$holes

Gekko · 09-05-2008 02:26AM

watching a third episode of it now on e4.

it is spot on - reminds me a bit of when I was that age - and very funny

MoominPapa · 09-05-2008 09:42AM

Thought that episode wasn't a patch on the first two, but hopefully just a blip

Agreed, much more like what i initially expected.

homerjk · 09-05-2008 02:34PM

Agreed, that one wasnt as good but still a lot better than some of the trash out there. One thing that struck me last night is that the young lad with the glasses really reminds of some other character on a TV show and I cant put a finger on it. His whole mannerisms and the way he delivers his lines when someone says something stupid are exactly like some other character. I keep thinking its Mark from Peep Show but then when I think about it, its not him either.

MoominPapa · 09-05-2008 03:07PM

A dorkier Marcus Brigstocke perhaps?

Mr E · 09-05-2008 03:10PM

He reminds me of Richard Ayoade's character Moss in The IT Crowd.

gazzer · 09-05-2008 03:18PM

Does anybody else think that the guy who passed his test(cant remember his name) is very like Martin Freeman from The Office. He sounds very like him and looks a bit like him too.

I just love The Inbetweeners.. That exchange where the guys were saying:

"Suppose you need to earn money for your dads rent boys"
"My dad doesnt pay for rent boys"
"You mean he gets them for free" was so funny.

My favourite character is the guy who is obsessed with flange..

Its great having this to watch as well as the new season of Peep Show.. All I need now is a new season of The IT Crowd and I will be a very happy man.

I actually think that is who I am linking the dude with the glasses with! I also thought the young lad that passed his test reminded me off someone but I put it off that I was just getting annoyed because I couldn't place the other lad, but now I think your exactly right, they are both a mix of him!

One scene that was sticking in my head was where the fella who is "a borderline sex pest" was saying something and the glasses lad said something like "Oh are we still doing this now?" and then followed that up with a smart comment and thats when I was like, wow, that seems really familiar and now I can just see Tim from The Office doing it!

Not that it is taking away from it mind you.

P.S. Cant believe someone hasn't mentioned it yet, yer mans mother really is hot! I really must look the characters names so I can stop referring to them as lad, fella and dude.

nicolaonfire · 09-05-2008 08:39PM

I love The Inbetweeners
Last night's episode was so funny

Will "Ohh christ is that a tape deck?"

I wish the episodes were an hour long. I always want more!

iseegirls · 09-05-2008 09:56PM

Yeah the constant use of Kate Nash's song "Foundations" being played at least 2 times every episode - it can be annoying.

Are you sure you're not thinking of that lame sitcom where the main character is a young fella in a wheelchair who despairs of the rest of his family?

I was reminded of him for some reason.

But yeah, he's also similar to Marcus Brigstock
