Seriously?
It's nothing like south park

4 boys, wacky supporting character, crazy situations. Enough of a similarity for me.

I don't see why it's 'specifically British'. I always thought the strength of The Inbetweeners was because its premise was so universal. The characters are pretty much archetypes anyway, you've got the nerd, the braggart, the idiot and the normal one we're suppose to identify with. Most of themes from the show are universal too; young men obsessed with sex, first crappy car, the unattainable babe from school,~~Stifler's~~ Will's mum.

Obviously some of the gags will only make sense to British audiences, but so what? Change the sixth form to High school, wanking to jerking off and have you really lost anything?

Don't get me wrong, there are some classic British comedies which I believe could not be translated because they are 'specifically British'. Comedies like Blackadder, Dad's Army and Fawlty Towers. These would never work in a million years. The Inbetweeners however, seems tailor made for the American market.

Oh no, I quite agree the format is absolutely universal. I meant that the specific humour and jokes made in the show are very British, and the US version should tailor itself more for a US audience than reuse them, as the trailer suggests it will.

The first two episodes weren't terrible though the guy playing Jay has thus far demonstrated none of the depth James Buckley brought to the character.

Episode 3 though-

Bus turds!

:simper:

Bus turds?

America. :fp:

The one playing Carly in this is so hot :datass:

Creases under eyes, not enough eye lashes, poorly applied eye make-up, nose too pointy, weird upturned top lip, fake looking teeth, bad hair extensions, poor choice of dress colour for her complexion, puffy shoulders on dress, too many moles on arms, flabby upper leg. 3/10. Would not bang.

This pretty much sums it up

It might be my age group but it like an exaggerated version of what me and my mates were like at school which is why its funny I guess.

Exactly! It was strawberry floating hilarious. Plus if you watch 'Best bits' out of context it just won't be funny. I want to see the whole joke not some B list celebrities talking for 15 minutes then showing a 30 second clip.

In my junior school there was this mate of mine who told the biggest whoppers ever! Just like Jay! I think every school must have one.

Yip, boy at my school said he wrote a song in his room and Story of the Year stole it and now it's on Need for Speed.

Watched the first few and its cringe worthy the translation of humour doesn't work, its just a cash cow and a way for MTV to try cash in on its success.

The first episode is surprisingly not the worst thing I've ever seen, going to watch the other two that are out there so far later.
