The US one gives me some real "40 year old manager hitting on the 18 year old cashier" vibes which makes my skin crawl. Edit: Oh, he's a fucking nonce too. Great...

"I miss Brie" "She might be here, they have a play area" Got to admit, that one was proper funny. Shame you had to go through two full episodes of Jay grooming a child to get that one decent joke.
I remember seeing this when it aired, it confirmed one thing to me. The Americas DO NOT get British humour, it’s been done countless times. The inbetweeners, shameless, the office (season 1, as season 2 onwards the office went down a different path) possibly even more, they’ve been executed badly REALLY REALLY badly
@pumpydog98 The American equivalent to inbetweeners is the movies 'Superbad' and the 'American Pie' sequals. So this whole concept is already been done before in the states.🙄 The U.S just wants to milk anything they can get there greedy scummy little hands on.
As a British person, shameless and the office US versions were actually okay to watch like it was bareable but this?? This is just absolute torture to watch and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. But you're kinda right about Americans not getting our humour most of the time tbh💀
Yeah. I mean I'm pissed at it but in America they don’t really use the word Wanker. They could have said “Bus jerks offs” in stead. The joke would have still been shit but at least it would have been more insulting to the people at the bus stop.
This just shouldn't have existed. The original Inbetweeners is way too rooted in British culture. It was built around our slang, our sex culture, partying culture, drinking, etc. That's what made it funny. Trying to change it all to make sense to American audiences while still keeping the humour is impossible.
@カミ Exactly. The Office US figured out how to do that quickly after their first season flopped. The Inbetweeners US could've been successful if they did the same.
Superbad had the same kind of premise, a bunch of nerdy, awkward, but likable guys trying to survive the social scene in high school, and that was a banger movie. This series had the same potential I reckon, just a shame they tried so hard to match the British style of humour with such a wet cast
Like it honestly feels like that the cast should've been put in a third Inbetweeners film where they're like nerds at a comic con in Chesterfield and they end up trying to fuck Jay and Simon for money or something. They're that uninteresting that they should've simply been punching bags.
100% the reason why the UK inbetweeners was so good was because was relatable to everyone in the UK and they portrayed that. The US version is cringe for the fact they have taken British humour and tried to Americanise it. A US school I’m sure wouldn’t be anything like what they try to do here
it’s the same reason the first season of the american office is bad - because they tried to remake british humour for an american audience instead of making it american humour for an american audience
the only joke i appreciated was the one where jay finds someone attractive but then they turn out to be a middle schooler because it's a fairly realistic & inbetweener-esque joke. The problem is, it became unrealistic and weird when Jay decided to carry on pursuing the girl.
thats true, reminds me of when they ask simon too go ask some girls too get them into a party (i think i cant remember only it was wills birthday) and turns out there underage and call simon a pedo and at the end of the episode they get chased down by the brothers of one of the girls

It's like with Don Mancini he went from directing the worst chucky movie ever aka Seed of Chucky, to making a a full on masterpiece that is Curse of Chucky. It just takes a couple tries to get it right I guess. Still this remake of a classic tv series was about as bad as the 2010 remake of A Nightmare On Elm Street.
I looked it up myself and Zack Pearlman was 23, but couldn't find any age on the actress that played Brie (Erynne Bowers), so can't confirm that. She only did three or four acting roles, including this trainwreck, in 2012 and 2013. If it's true though, then holy hell, that's awful
God, I remember coming across Inbetweeners randomly on TV at like 11:30pm & they were showing the home alone episode. Will kicking the door made me piss myself. Easily the greatest comedy I've ever watched by a landslide. I'd say it's perfect & still funny even after countless rewatches.
Honestly, the alcohol and clubbing scenes make no sense. We are led to believe they are 16, 5 whole years away from drinking age and got let in. I feel like it was much more relatable since they were just 1 year off in the UK version.

Why didnt they make Jays girlfriend just a year younger than Him. Because it fits with realism. In High school if you have a Girlfriend younger than you by a year. Your a Nonce, lines like "She might be here theres a Play area" Would be much more funny and more fitting with a Joke the OG would do
Do you live in the US because over here the general consensus in schools is that a 1 year gap is acceptable; 2 or more makes you a nonce (until you're both at least 18/adults). Obviously there are exceptions but every school I went to (too many lmao) had that same philosophy/unwritten rule. The worst thing about them making Jay a nonce is that the idea did have potential... but it needed keeping to just one episode - Jay unknowingly pursues a 13 year old but when she hints at her age (like making a school-related comment), he immediately backs off; the others still rib him, which would let the writers fit all the jokes in like the play area one (kinda like how the lads bombarded Will with shit puns after hearing that he'd shat himself in the exam).

And the fact that they go out of their way to make her seem as young as possible (skipping with jay and swinging their hands, sitting on his lap, unable to tell her right from her left, playing patty-cake, etc) Like- if she was super “mature for her age” it would still be INCREDIBLY creepy and disgusting, but it would at least make sense as to why everyone’s so weirdly chill about it?

21:26 this isn’t tanning it’s actually the makeup the actor has on (as all actors get makeupped to look their best when filming) they couldn’t be bothered to get his skin tone right 😭
I’d love to see a video of them reacting to the original Inbetweeners, a good show, so they can make a video where they are not miserable. Well done George for surviving through these difficult times, and I don’t mean COVID.
I also forgot to include the rest of the lot. Well done to them too, this is a hard task to complete especially after watching cool cat saves kids. Also in relation to my original comment, I doubt they could watch it on youtube because of certain scenes (Will and Charlotte, Jay’s “session”) but would be brilliant to see. I wonder what will come next.
honestly I'd love that, I had no idea what they were comparing it to the whole time and they cut down a lot of clips so it just looks like a sitcom that isn't my sense of humor but isn't bad enough to turn off.
Also, for some reason my comparison of characters did not make it however thankfully I believe Jay’s dad was not in it at all. All the characters were completely ruined.

This is what Taika Waititi said about The Inbetweeners USA on his 2012 Reddit AMA “I imagine the British will not like the US Inbetweeners because they are grumpy f**ks and hate everything. American teens will love the show. It is really funny. I think it will survive longer than Skins”. Add that to the list of posts that did not age well
Saying the American inbetweeners is better is one thing, saying it will beat skins is a crime, someone needs to find him, arrest that man. 😂 Also, "grumpy fucks that hate everything" yes mate it's called cynical comedy
All I can think is that a group of “professional” writers sat down, pitched that script and went “Ya let’s make one of them a pedo!” AND NO ONE SAID ANYTHING. And then they wrote in that kissing scene No one objected? Producers, directors, even the canteen lady?
For the American viewers who mightn’t have seen the UK Inbetweeners: What they’ve done to this show is like if they took the Office and made Michael Scott a normal person. They took away or ruined all the bits that made the entire show funny.
@@clonka3459 yeah but they made a separate story to it. The entire show wasn’t nabbed since the UK office only ran for 2 seasons and the US office ran for 9.
“do americans actually elect class clowns?” “why would someone want to be elected as a delinquent?” my ex boyfriend campaigned senior year to be class clown and he lost. i posted a picture of one of my wrecks on snapchat and won worst driver. i try to look at it ironically now. but i am in the year book smiling next to a picture of my mother’s battered car.
Serious question, who thought it was ok to let Jay be a, a legitimate pedophile, his friends laugh about it, and make the show have it as a genuine story arc, I haven't finished the video but if Jay doesn't end up arrested I'm going to be very disappointed.
In-between (no pun intended) writing and directing a few episodes of Flight of The Concords and Jojo Rabbit... Taika Wakiki worked on this. He made great stuff before and went on to make a masterpiece after. They aren't underselling how baffling it is that his name was a part of this.

They didn't just make Jay's girlfriend a literal child, they made her a SLOW child. Who can't tell their right from their left at that age? And the way she acted, jesus.
It’s also weird that as soon as it’s revealed that she’s a middle schooler she just seems to regress five years in maturity.
@@SNK_LRD plot I guess
And the fact that they go out of their way to make her seem as young as possible (skipping with jay and swinging their hands, sitting on his lap, unable to tell her right from her left, playing patty-cake, etc)
Like- if she was super “mature for her age” it would still be INCREDIBLY creepy and disgusting, but it would at least make sense as to why everyone’s so weirdly chill about it?
It’s like they wanted to exaggerate how young she was which just makes me skin crawwwllll

the soundtrack in the uk one is relatable music, like what kids would of listened or still listen too, the us one is not, no kid would listen too non copyright music which plays constantly

I’d love to see a video of them reacting to the original Inbetweeners, a good show, so they can make a video where they are not miserable. Well done George for surviving through these difficult times, and I don’t mean COVID.
I also forgot to include the rest of the lot. Well done to them too, this is a hard task to complete especially after watching cool cat saves kids. Also in relation to my original comment, I doubt they could watch it on youtube because of certain scenes (Will and Charlotte, Jay’s “session”) but would be brilliant to see. I wonder what will come next.
honestly I'd love that, I had no idea what they were comparing it to the whole time and they cut down a lot of clips so it just looks like a sitcom that isn't my sense of humor but isn't bad enough to turn off.
@@doityourselfbombs you are so lucky that you can watch the real inbetweeners for the first time
Also, for some reason my comparison of characters did not make it however thankfully I believe Jay’s dad was not in it at all. All the characters were completely ruined.

This is what Taika Waititi said about The Inbetweeners USA on his 2012 Reddit AMA
“I imagine the British will not like the US Inbetweeners because they are grumpy f**ks and hate everything. American teens will love the show. It is really funny. I think it will survive longer than Skins”.
Add that to the list of posts that did not age well
To be fair we are grumpy fucks that hate everything.
Taika Waititi had such a glow up. He is literally my favourite director
No no, it’s not because we’re grumpy(although we are) it because Americans are bat shit comedy

For the American viewers who mightn’t have seen the UK Inbetweeners:
What they’ve done to this show is like if they took the Office and made Michael Scott a normal person. They took away or ruined all the bits that made the entire show funny.
But America nabbed the office aswell
I feel like the most painful think America did to this show was change “Bus wankers” to “Bus turds”
