- Fourth attempt at uploading this so hopefully if you're reading this it works
I have been meaning to make a video about The Inbetweeners for a couple of years now, but I've never been able to fit all of my thoughts into a clear, precise point until right now. It's the best show on Netflix, the best show of the past ten years, and overall my favorite show of all time...so let me tell you why!

The exploits of four friends, who are socially only marginally above what one of them calls "the freaks", are presented as they grow from their late teen years into adults and as they go on their quest, usually unsuccessfully, for such grown up things as beer and sex. Simon Cooper, Jay Cartwright and Neil Sutherland have been friends for some time. Insecure Simon's main quest in life is to get long time friend, Carli D'Amato, to be his girlfriend. Jay is the big talker whose stories, especially about his sexual conquests, are more fantasy than reality. And slightly dim-witted Neil is generally two steps behind everyone else in comprehension of life, and who is always defending his father from beliefs that he's a closet homosexual. Into the group comes its fourth member, Will McKenzie, who met them when he transferred into their school, Rudge Park Comprehensive, at the start of sixth form, as Will's newly divorced mum could no longer afford his private school tuition. Nerdish and straight-laced Will, ridiculed for carrying a briefcase, insinuated himself in the group - not aiming his sights too high - as he tried not to be labeled as one of the freaks. Regardless, he is still the target of the school's "psycho bully", Mark Donovan, and the head of Rudge Park's sixth form, Mr. Gilbert. Will's initial saving grace in bonding with his new mates may have been that they all want to shag his pretty but protective mother, Polly.

U find this relatable as an American imagine being English, it’s uncanny
I’m English and it is pretty much a spitting image of the uk
@@alyx9191 I think he was joking the whole show is about British school and teenagers so
@@Charlie-sq8mt did u hit ur head?
@@Yappoh miss unstood what he said
Yeah, it's actually a bit weird how spot on it is. Kids aren't like this now though. Take themselves way too seriously.
Finally an American who isn’t confused by British humour
How doesn’t this have any comments? But I agree fully
Yeah I’ll add 1
Why don't people understand British humour?
@@alexthomas2067 British humour is about wit whereas Americans are more entertained by people slipping on banana skins.
British humor is unmatched just delivered so well better then any American comedy
it is literally just school friends, how did they make it into 18 episodes of pure comedy gold
because it's literally just school friends, most of the times I've laughed til it hurt was with school friends
@@xixXxxXxix this
It’s the same with Derry Girls, it’s just school friends. That’s why we love both shows - they’re both funny and relatable.
ikr like i can totally relate to this group. theres me whos like a mix of simon and will, theres the one who thinks hes dead hard, theres the tall but dull minded one, and the twins who look kinda nerdy but actually are the most normal ones
Omfg I remembered it’s only 18 episodes.
As a 13 year old Arabian boy who lives in Saudi Arabia I watched this show and adored it I loved it even when Patrice says that he hates Arab i laughed in a weird way 😂
Suicidal Kid lol glad you aren’t someone who gets offended over jokes 👍
that's great! to be fair it's kinda spot on about french people hehe
Oh your names Muhammad right?
@@skullypgaming9329 That bit wasn't a joke though? It's supposed to cement that Patrice is a fucking bellend, not just arrogant.
@@Nefariousbig yes it was you knob gobbler
I'd take the second movie over the us remake any day
Without a DOUBT
Tbf I thought the second movie was pretty good
Anthony Smurthwaite the second movie was great
Anthony Smurthwaite in my opinion :)
Stonebeach UK same
Inbetweeners is truly a masterpiece. I can literally rewatch the show over and over, but it will never get stale.
I love that someone across the pond loves this show. You’ve probably already read this a billion times in the comments, but every British boy’s secondary school or college experience was JUST like the Inbetweeners and it truly is timeless
Not every when I was in secondary I was running around with heroin wraps in my mouth lol
@@ALPHA.ZONE_ wtf 😂
Any British person can relate to the inbetweeners
I thinks the hardest thing for most other people is understanding the slang and references, but if you understand them I think most people can relate.
Even Ian Huntley ?
Most British but when your in Liverpool it's a different ball game that donavon the school bully would get vollyed everywhere in any of r schools
@@joelmc4811 Everything in Liverpool is a different ball game. Place is full of nutters. I mean, my family come from there and they're proper insane. Not nasty, just crazy.
@@joelmc4811 Honestly I don't disagree there lmao
It’s funnier when your British ( just to clarify I made this comment almost two years ago when I was a lot younger my opinion wouldn’t be the same as of now, in which I didn’t expect anyone to acc interact with it )
I'm south African and I know a ton of British humor
Yeah all 4 countries

You're.
‘Bumder’ alone makes it brilliant.
Such secondary school boy mentality.
Is Mr Chippy going to knock up a closet you can hide in?
@@Doyouevenliftjpg What would be worse though? Mr. Chippy or Paedo Kennedy?
the funny thing is this was made nearly 15 years old and british schools are basically still like this
Drugs on eggs on toast? Are you not worried it might lead to harder stuff? Beans on toast, - maybe a sausage?
Benny Dyer's Chocolate Homunculus
As a Brit my favourite episode is “will is home alone” S3 EP5. I relate to it so hard, being a teenager with nothing to do so walking around the neighbourhood, drinking beer and getting into (petty) trouble.
Also this episode has the best, most hilarious and natural dialogue. The witty lines they say when sitting about in the house are pure genius!! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
S2 EP 1 just the whole boat scene is legendary
"Neil?" *offers weed*
"Nah I'm alright I got my sleeping tabs"
If my Doctor told me I had less than 10 hrs to live I know what I'll do. I'll watch all 3 seasons and both movies
It’s tragic that they didn’t have more seasons
@@kip741 British shows don't normally have alot of seasons and episodes like look at the Office.
Exactly the same minus the second movie because of the fact that it ruined the near perfect ending the first movie gave us and destroyed a lot of the characters development that they went through in the first film, and I’d use the extra time I got from not watching the second movie to join the dead hand gang
@@ir0ngamer393 the dead hand gang, brilliant😂
@@ir0ngamer393 omg I forgot about the dead hand gang 🤣🤣🤣
my favourite scene is probably the boat scene from series 2, will losing it, Simon dying, jay spouting bs and neil punching a fish, and oh yh, they need to be rescued because they caught a fish.
THE SEA WHAT
That is probably the scene that I've laughed at most out of anyhting I've ever watched on first view. It literally hurt me it was so funny.
Can you spare us the bullshit for one minute, so I can figure out how not to die at sea!
We have the best comedy
change my mind
I can't because you're right
I'm British and yeah we have best comedy tv, but America has generally better stand up comedy for sure
Yes, we do
@@jamiesparrow8713 that’s actually spot on. british telly is wonderful but american stand up has john mulaney and that singlehandedly gives it an advantage
@@dhalrodentsenior6009 most of our stand up comedians dont take risks. Ricky gervais is good but his bits dont tie together seamlessly like a louis ck or dave chappelle, his tv is much better, jimmy carr has the same saggy old one liners hes been using forever, and everyone else is scared to offend.
awww friend!
FRIEND! FUCKING. FRIEND!
Fwend
Fuck you lot were the beer?
@@ViableelbaiV football friend
hang on, isn't that friends car?
I've never seen an American understand this so well.
well done mate
I’d also argue that this show isn’t meant to be as cinematically great as game of thrones. It’s supposed to be cloudy and grimy with a handheld camera because no one’s high school/secondary school experience is filmed with multiple cameras at the golden hour
"You need to take it right in like a cigarette"
"Oh yeah I know..... I just sometimes do it that way to get my umm... cheeks nicely stoned but yeah I'll give it a go your way"
It’s brilliant it’s actually a good representation of growing up in suburban England
"One of them ghost stories like Harry Potter or the Bible" makes me creeaase every time
First time i saw that i had to pause cos i was laughing so hard
It’s great seeing an American who loves this humour, usually they fail to see the funny side when friends are “mean” to each other... when really it’s frigging hilarious!
I don't know how a lotta us don't see how it's funny.
Like, are some people over here goody two-shoes, or what?
Because me and my friends bond half the time by roasting each other and talking smack!
The Inbetweeners is practically a documentary. It's my favourite show too. I've lost track of how many times I've watched them all. No matter how many times you do though, it's still hilarious.
Friday Night Dinner, The Inbetweeners, Misfits and Plebs are my favourite British Comedy Shows.
Watch Peep Show, funniest thing I've ever seen on TV
Only fools and horses!?
Natasha Tacken and two of them have simon bird in, best comedy actor ever?!
Bottom?
Garth Marenghi's Dark Place
You've nailed it. The Inbetweeners is a show that I rewatch every couple of years.
Same here! As a matter of fact, I feel like I'm due for a rewatch soon...
I suggest you watch The Thick Of It, it's a dark comedy that satirises the inner workings of modern British government and every single line is genius, every single one. Just give it ten minutes and you will understand why its one of the best comedies ever. Us non British ppl are rly missing some of the tv shows out there smh. Also please do more videos on The Inbetweener because i'll rewatch the shit out of them lol
I'll be sure to check it out at some point! Who knows....there may be more Inbetweeners related content in the future!
I love the inbetweeners! glad to see more people outside the UK discovering this gem
That is of course great. I don't understand how every country doesn't know it. I was lucky that I for many years have consumed much more British entertainment than let's say American.
But I have always said to people that just because something is mainstream doesn't mean that it is great or even good, the truly great stuff you have to find yourself. I have it the exact same way when it comes to music.
The show is awesome dude. But about slangs: i live in Pakistan, English isn't my first language obviously, but i quickly understood the slangs and was kinda proud 😁
same happened with me as well. i live in india and we don't get to watch the amazingly weird shows here as well. this was executed to perfection man and the british references were hard to get for me as well but still i absolutely adored this show
@@anmol2074 I love that this show has reached different parts of the world because it shows that we are all the same really :) no matter where we are from we all experience similar things and we are all human.
What a lovely thought
I was in Highschool when inbetweeners was released, i had a close group of 4 friends and each of our personalities were shockingly close to those of the inbetweeners (grudgingly admit i was Jay), just how insanely relatable the show was on that point alone made it amazing and the comedy was just the icing on the cake, so hilariously funny that it became a cultural icon and god help you if you didn't manage to catch the episode on a Thursday night because the entire next day at school was completely taken over by talk of the latest episode.
That rollercoaster scene is fucking hilarious I cry laughing at it every time
If you related to the show as an American, imagine what it’s like for someone English. Especially when you grew up during the time the inbetweeners and were of similar age to the lads when you watched it
I’m Australian and this show is literally made about my childhood
I know you said it’s hard to make a top ten scenes list.. but the scene in the movie where they’re dancing over to the girls would definitely be number one
This is one the shows that got me into UK sitcoms. British tv is much better at comedy than American tv by a long shot
6:00
My favourite scene of the show.
"Feisty one you are", reminds me of the first time my gf watched Star Wars with me. When she saw Chewbacca "What the hell is that?!" 😂🎉
Simon says i want to do sociaolgy which is really fitting for his character cause it’s the study of human groups so subtle so good
Every friend group has to have all seen this show, the amount of references and in jokes built just amazing.
Yes. The Inbetweeners is the best show. VERY rewatchable!
The Inbetweeners is a very well made show, it feels so real with the writing and all the camera angles, gives off a sense of authenticity and I love it
I'm a 17 year old Brazilian, and found out about this show 4 days ago, and I must admit, it's so fucking good. I can relate so much, even though I live in a completely different culture and country. It's so good because its so real. The dialogue, the jokes, everything, they're all real. I love this so much
Did you find it on all 4
@@isaacthegoat1432 Nope, saw a post on reddit about the show, and watched in on netflix
@@uhtredofbebbanburg5748 its on Netflix?
@@isaacthegoat1432 in the brazilian netflix it is
@@uhtredofbebbanburg5748 did you have to change it to English
The fact you relate any of your mates to one of the four just tells how great the show is
Hands down the greatest piece of script writing that ever graced our TV screens.
I love British humour! Im Brazilian living in the UK. The Brazilian humour is very different but sooo funny! I love the British humour too. I feel very lucky to understand and know both humours so well 🙌🏽
yeah but do you like the British humour?
Im an American too, I love this show used to watch it when I was a young teen. Just rewatched it with my brother. Best show over.
To this day I think I most I ever laughed at anything ever was the boat scene season 2, which I must now watch again. Great video.
As a British person The inbetweeners is just absolutely amazing and reminds me so much of myself in every way
So glad that an American can appreciate British humour. We are not so different as some people make out. We all experience puberty, have the same insecurities and find ourselves in the same situations wherever we are. Thank you for appreciating that.
I absolutely adore this series. It's soo good. Me and my friends constantly quote it and always have a laugh when remembering a certain scene from the show. And im from denmark and perfectly understood the slang once I got used to it, so I think the show is also very diverse in terms of appealing to many different people.
Aye I’m Persian American and this is honestly better then any other show I’ve ever seen from any country absolute fucking masterpiece ive rewatched so many times the final never fails to make me tear up
6:11 I knew you were going to show that one for Neill, my favorite line from him
"Ninety-five per cent of comedy is in the execution." BOOM, nailed it!
This is the most quoted show in British High school
"Ooooo Friends from westham trials that never happened"
This is a perfect encapsulation of my feelings towards this show. The ability to rewatch it without losing interest comes from the fact that it does transport you back to a time that your life was exactly like this.
I am the same age as the Inbetweeners and when the series aired I was at a similar point in my life as they were, or had not long gone through it which made it even more relatable.
Now when I look back it gives me that portion of my life back for the time I watch it while delivering the same laughs it always did.
Love it. Could easily watch a couple of episodes every night. Not got a favourite episode, they’re all great. Reminds me of being back in sixth form.
Mad ur American and u still love it coz the whole series is so relatable to six formers
I come from France and this series is part of my childhood because before it was shown on TV.
The series was dubbed in French and
I always laugh so much until I feel sick to my stomach because we identify too easily with this group of friends
I always wandered if American people would like or even know about the Inbetweeners
The movie made 86 million outside of England
@@crodept4241 england isnt the uk
Great analysis of the show. I’m British and these guys are absolutely bang on some of the people I grew up with. And I’m with you on the love for Linklater as well. The man is a genius! Great video. 👍🏻👏🏻
Great video, also the thing that makes that last scene so fucking funny is the 3-5 seconds of him looking absolutely dreadful on the ride he literally only went to the park to in the first place. It's brilliant.
You’ll love Summer Heights High
Watch the peep show if you like this program
After watching this might have to binge watch it again for probably the 10th time never gets old 😅 so relatable aswell
I went into high school a few years after the inbetweeners started, the amount of times me and my friends would do things and say this is a inbetweeners moment
It's my favourite comedy of all time it's as close to my school/teenage experience as a Brit from the language, phrases and even the ludicrous experiences. I think what is so relatable is those 'new exciting experiences' you explore as you become teenagers... The expectations Vs reality. The huge excitement and huge disappointment.. and yet because you're young, dumb and horny some how you have the same ridiculous excitement for the next new adventure never learning your lesson... With the same outcome.
background song name? i know it but i forget it.
If The Inbetweeners is on TV, you watch it. Even if, like me, you have all the DVDs and watch it on streaming platforms more or less every week. When it’s on live TV, you can’t not watch it. It’s just a fact of life.
sorry but they already finished the repeats last week and now E4 is airing Impractical Jokers instead (every night), whether that's better or worse is up to you to decide
Chase, massive kudos to you and your mates for loving this show. It’s really nice to see that we aren’t all that different after all!
Funny is funny in any language man! Thanks for the comment!
Is it bad that i was literally reciting the muted scenes word for word in my head
shows like these just come at a perfect time in your life. This and "SuperBad" are movies/shows i can watch whenever i want
Have you seen Peep Show it’s up there with Inbetweeners being the funniest show on tv
Grew up in Pennsylvania and I first saw this show when I was like 13 and now that I’m rewatching it at 18 it’s even more hilarious and nostalgic
Is the first background song Listzomania?
i feel the same, and im going back to watch it again. Also my best friend Jay, is soooo much like Jay. Gold!!
This show is so good an American can relate to it and I’m irish
An American that said it better than I could as brit! Love it. I had 3 friends and one of them was Will, one of them was Jay, I was Simon and we had a Neil. We, like these guys lurched from disaster to disaster and at the end of it parted ways. Super relatable. If you get the chance to check it out, Simon Bird (Will) did a show called Friday Night Dinner from the writers of Inbetweeners, I love it just as much and there's more of it!
Why I think The Inbetweeners is great compared to many of the mainstream shows, is that it executed what they sat out to do and hit the ambitions perfectly.
Liztomania by Pheonix playing in the background made this video that much better. such a nice song
*Simon's voice* Brilliant m8
On my 3rd or 4th viewing and still loving it. Every episode that comes on I go "Ohhh THIS one is great." They're all great. 2nd movie not so muh...but I love the characters so much I would watch a 3rd and 4th...
Between Will and Jay can’t decide who’s better
What was the outro song?
How do I watch this?
If u ask 4 my fave character, I would say Will instantly.
Well done on highlighting objectivity vs. Subjectivity though in all honesty, objectively the inbetweeners is also amazing. For what it sets out to do I.e, create a more authentic school comedy with amazing writing and characters you actually care about rather than unrealistic jock airheads, I can’t think of any show that does it better. Great review!
Inbetweeners took the blueprint laid by movies like American Pie and applied it to a totally uncool and 100 percent relatable setting, British life for teenagers at school. And it absolutely rocked it.
Recently, I saw an article where Simon Bird (Will's actor) was talking about how he imagines the Inbetweeners no longer accurately reflects British school life and honestly... He's dead wrong. I just finished Upper Sixth last year and, aside from the heightened prominence of tech and social media since then, the show is still dead on with the atmosphere and writing even today.
This was released just after I finished sixth form, my three main friends I always hung out with were fans too. It was very true to reality for us as we were basically that type of group.
Not the most popular, we were outsiders a bit but largely tolerated and knew everyone else. The only major differences were that we were from Manchester and not London and our lives weren't that funny.
Fantastic writing & casting in this show
Brilliant review of a great show.....nice one.
I’ve watched this show from start to finish over 8 times I fricken love it !!!
ProffesionalCyberBully 123 yea I like the first one the best aha but the second isn’t bad just not my favourite
The inbetweeners is my fav show
brilliant, you should check out White Gold.
After binging all of skins on Netflix, I was looking for a British tv show and this was a great substitute
Where can I watch this in the US???
netflix i think
Great video!
I think everyone who watched the Inbetweeners (the American one) would notice that the language was significantly toned down. For those who don't know America has stricter rules on tv and on what can be aired and said in episodes.
Edit: I'm not defending the American Inbetweeners at all it's horrifically shit and will always be shit.
Yeah. British/English shows need more funding to go on for longer seasons
@@isaacthegoat1432 this wasn't canceled because of money it ended because they wanted to finish it sure between the 2 movies they made 140 million
This is one of my favorite shows of all time! Along with the IT CROWD!
