  • The Inbetweeners was a TV show that told the British coming of age story. So why sixteen years later is this show still just as culturally relevant as when it came out?......

    I do hate it when actors like Simon bird talk about how the show had homophobia or sexist language it kinda feels like he’s almost condemning the show.

      he was asked whether it would be commissioned today. He answered honestly. There are more regulations now. There is more space online for 'outrage'. It's why it's difficult to produce shows these days because producers are petrified of pushing anything 'edgy' onto the screen. Simon Bird's comments reflect this worry.

    Being 18 when the Inbetweeners came out was like someone holding a mirror up to the teenage school boy experience in the UK at the time. What I loved about it is that they never really won. Sure they'd have little victories here and there but they always ended up the butt of the jokes or whatever thing they were trying to achieve failed. You think it'd be depressing but it never was. No matter what shit happened to them, they were all back taking the piss out of each other and getting on with it in the next episode. A metaphor for teenage life: you think everything's going to be great and you're going to look cool because you've been coached that way by American teen movies... but in reality it's all the failures and sillyness that really help you to grow. And those are the things in 20 years time you'll be laughing about with your mates (trust me). It's so innately British. Lovable losers always more appealing than the idealised perfectionists.

      Yeah, classic British comedy trope: glorying in shitness and mediocrity, aspiring for better and failing or getting torn down for it and put in your place . For me it was the perfect antidote to the unrelateable nonsense of Skins.

      I loved how most of the time, they were 100% responsible for their own fuck ups, you would see a few hints and foreshadowing of what would happen later and it was so funny and cringe inducing when it all came crashing down.
      I think the relatability was spot on, both the characters and plots.
      You might not have a friend exactly like Jay, but you do know someone similar who said stupid edgy shit to sound cool or bragged about watching porn too loudly.
      You might not have your mum being talked about daily by the year but you've been there when someone decided to make mum jokes about you for a week straight because they showed up to your school.
      It is insane how they were able to exaggerate these stories but still keep so much realism.

    As a UK Northerner born in 1996, and went through high school from 2007 to 2012 and then college 2012 to 2014, this show was the most accurate depiction of British high school hierarchy, college and friendship groups I'd ever seen. When people ask what high school and college was like, I direct them to this show, it is absolutely spot on. I couldn't talk to a girl in college without my mates absolutely rinsing me about it and taking the piss. The best part is I genuinely don't think people ever believe you when you say it is exactly like this show, BUT IT IS!!

    The Inbetweeners is the last truly great comedy, a truly properly funny sitcom. Along with Peep Show, the best sitcom of the 21 Century. As I grew up through school at the same time as them, the Inbetweeners was so relatable and connectable.

      I wouldn’t go so far as to say this. It has a nostalgic feel and has its own style compared to most other teen shows. But I think even to this day a lot of gems are being made they might not be the most popular or mainstream but that’s kind of how it’s always been. Things are great, they get discovered and then the public ruins them. Very few great things avoid this course

      Best analogy I've heard for the difference between American and British comedy is "Comedy is like having a scalpel and a sledgehammer. Americans go at everything with the sledgehammer, until the joke is about a social issue, then they use the scalpel.

    With all respect to Simon Bird, he clearly hasn't been a teenager in a long time. As someone who finished high school at the end of the 2010s/beginning of the 2020s, the dialogue and actions of the characters are absolutely spot on to this day. Obviously, it's somewhat exaggerated for comedic effect, but the general feel of the programme and first movie is absolutely genuine and accurate to this day.

    I think I had just finished school / started university when the inbetweeners came out and it is quite literally a snapshot of what it was like as an average male teenager at the time. Everyone knew someone like each of the characters and that’s why it was so relatable. Sure some of the things they got up to were far more ridiculous than real life but you could imagine it happening and experienced similar things yourself. It’s quite funny looking back, a lot of the stuff is quite close to the bone, doubt they would get away with it now.
    It’s kind of like what I imagine the American Pie films were to Americans of the time, I loved them too, but they weren’t as relatable as the US is a very different growing up experience. Same kind of completely ridiculous but at the same time relatable stories.

    Inbetweeners wouldn't get made now. Probably because it was about 4 white guys. None of them gay, non binary or trans, no tick box black or Asian guy. The friend group was a realistic rep of a white suburban area. I'm a mixed race girl and I grew up in a majority white town and I knew classmates like them so I found it relatable! The offensive language is literally what 16yr olds were like! The meme culture was iconic. I never knew they made a US one which panned. That makes so much sense because you just can't recreate British awkward humour, they'd have to make it more like American Pie to work. British humour is more hidden, awkward while American humour is more in your face.
