Mr. Gilbert
Height 6' 8" (2,04 m)
Are you as tall
>>71793090
Christ, I wish.
This show has aged very weirdly for me. Because I'm British and related to every detail, it feels like a picturesque slice of 2008-2011 that's hard to watch for me
>Brits claim their comedy is miles of sophicitaion above the USAs
>Their crowing achievements series finale is four boys puking on one another in a tent
Dont get me wrong its a funny show but the superiority is so odd

Can you be one nasty fucker?

Compare UK shameless to US remake (fuck up) and every other perfectly good tv show they need to remake for US audiences and then get back to me.
>>71793175
Compare the US remake of the Inbetweeners and you'll know why people consider UK humour soperior
>>71793087
CAR FRIEND SHALL WE PLAY FOOTBALL
>>71793137
I think thats why it doesn't really get a huge amount of criticism on here, even though its very normiecore, its totally relatable and everyone has experienced at least some of what they do on the show
One of my distinct memories watching the Inbetweeners was my tears of laughter after Simon stepped onto the catwalk with a bollock hanging out
FINE
FUCKING FINE
>>71793346
We call them testicles.
>>71792991
Man I had that car 15 years ago
>>71793390
have you never heard bollock before
>>71793270
>>71793286
>remakes
everyone knows remakes are always shitty thats not a fair comparison and you both know it
I like how british shows actually have lower middle class houses that look like people actually live there. Not some ridiculous penthouses for waitresses.
Malcolm in the Middle comes close without looking too artificial
>>71793425
So why do you guys keep making them?
fishing
>>71793328
I always remember the scene when one of the younger teachers walks past them and they all go "Phwoar, Mrs. Smith is so fit" and Will looks confused at them all and replies "No she's not, she's just the only female teacher under the age of 30." I remember simultaneously cringing and laughing at that because there was a teacher exactly like that at my school, and years later we bumped into her in a bar and were like "Did she always look like that? Has she aged badly?"
>>71793087
>>71793290
People all over still fucking reference to this day, great writing tßh. If it sounds dumb but people remember it, it aint dumb I guess.
>>71793462
You know the answer
way to divert my original discussion topic
>>71793390
Where are you from?
>>71793069
>Now working as a teacher, and relate to Mr Gilbert
This so hard, I'm not quite as jaded as him yet since I've only been in the job a couple of years but I look at some of the other teachers in my school who've been doing it for decades and know I'll get there eventually.
>>71793425
Oh cmon US audiences have an allergic reaction to anything that wasn't murican. Subtitles used to be the excuse on why they have to remake the entire thing, but for English speaking shows there is no excuse. Americans are insulated and like it that way. The internet is the only way to get the original stuff, tv networks simply won't show it
>>71793565
>Oh cmon US audiences have an allergic reaction to anything that wasn't murican
Not true at all, Monty Python is incredibly popular there to this day.
>>71793551
Not the person you're replying to, but my experience of teachers is that a lot of them love teaching, but hate all the bullshit that comes with it like marking, planning etc.
Not as rewarding as it used to be they say
>>71793583
That's 1. Keep going. See if you can name anything newer. Also how many or of this list applies: spaced, father ted, it crowd, black books, cucumber
>>71793583
Yeah, and they don't get it. They just laugh at the silly walks. They don't understand satire or irony.
>>71793528
>great writing
They nailed the typical group of high school boys in most Commonwealth countries.
The friend shit was something you could clearly picture your friends doing just to piss you off. The time Will went to the bottle store in Simon's dad's clothes was so much like the first time I tried to buy drinks.
>>71793583
Is all Monty Python popular, or just The Holy Grail and The Life of Brian? I could probably count on one hand how many Monty Python sketches I know.
>>71793694
Top Gear is huge there and John Oliver is one of the most influential comedians in political satire today.
>>71793694
>cucumber
u wot m8
>>71793597
That's exactly it. Teaching is great, but OFSTED and their fucking box ticking about paperwork is getting ridiculous. Not to mention all the other shit.
For example, I teach English, and as of this year we can't teach any Non-British literature at GCSE, thanks to Gove. Fucking bullshit.

>tfw you all know someone like Jay
>>71793730
The banter was spot on as well. The fact they were constantly spinning what each other said into double entendres was great, especially the lame comebacks "Brilliant Jay..."
>>71793597
Oh I love teaching, but teenagers acting like children like they do in The Inbetweeners definitely does get eye roll worthy very quickly, even if you know you were the exact same. I certainly empathise with Gilbert a lot.
>>71793749
Top gear is huge everywhere, and they still had a US remake. John oliver is on an American show.
Frankly you can keep him
>>71793270
office usa was better desu senpai
>>71793823
It being huge everywhere doesn't discount that it's a British comedy show bigger in the US than any American comedy show is here.
Here ya go, because Internetting is hard

cant believe raimi got away with this
genius
>>71793856
OH.
I completely forgot about that.
Why are britbong threads always so boring?
>>71793851
You can't boil top gear down as a British comedy show. Most comedy shows don't get ten million quid an episode busgets with free equipment use from the air force and navy and product placement from super car manufacturers
>>71793878
lol
Why are british people so ugly?
>>71793987
In Britain, actors are cast based on acting ability. In America, they are cast on looks. So on average, people in British shows are uglier, but much better actors.
Just look at the American Inbetweeners, where all the 'actors' looked like GQ models, and were clearly cast based on looks rather than talent.
>>71794112
>he thinks american Jay is attractive.
>>71793425
Why do americans feel the need to change everything when importing a UK show to the US? I mean our language is 95% similar to yours.
Why did you replace David Attenborough with Sigorny Weaver ffs?
>>71793987
Inbreeding
Lack of sunlight
Shit diet
Very few dentists
They hate exorcise
Inability to hold their liquor
Terrible fashion sense
Inbreeding
Small
>>71793057
i have no idea why, but this part had me rolling
>>71794112
this
It annoys me but I guess it's just a culture difference.
Look at UK shameless compared to US. Everyone in the UK version is an ugly cunt but play their roles to perfection. Literally everyone in the US version is gr8 looking except Frank and you just can't follow it in the same way.
>>71794162
That's right, we hate to exorcise
>>71794162
>exorcise.....
You fucking idiot

>>71793749
John Oliver couldn't get fucking arrested on British TV. You only give shows to total nobodies thinking they're superior.
>>71793768
>we can't teach any Non-British literature at GCSE
Why is that a bad thing?
UKucks pls leave
>>71793035
>ur dads uh bendah
>why cant we get laid? lol so awkward m8
>i wanna shag ur mum, innit?
I've watched every episode and I don't get it. It's so mediocre I don't understand why bongs hold it in such high regard.
>>71792991
someone shouted this at me once and I wasn't even waiting for a bus I was just sitting out of the rain waiting for someone.
Worst day of my life ever.
>>71795464
Because it's fucking hilarious for some reason. That episode with the tall girl giving out blowjobs... it's nothing short of genius m8. Cringe humour is the best.
>>71793768
>implying Non-British countries even have real literature
>>71795840
Is it? I found the 'bus wankers' scene kind of funny and maybe a few others that I can't remember as it's been a year since I watched them but it was just awkward moments with a thousand sex and gay jokes. I never found myself laughing once.
>>71793035
they are both shit
>>71793749
>John Oliver is one of the most influential comedians in political satire today
Still baffles me how yanks ate him up when he did the rounds on the usual panel/quiz shows here and everyone thought he was a fucking shit nobody.
R8 THE INBETWEENERS FUNNINESS
NEIL

Swap Will and Jay, and you have yourself a deal.

>British are unable to hold liquor
Any bloke off the street could drink you under the table, you fucking joke

that just shows how bad he is
>>71794162

If you're American you can fuck off. An average 8 year old Brit could outdrink any American
>Bud light
Haha
>>71796831

All of the shit listed in that post and all we get is
>oi m8, ill drink until ur liva blows up i swer on me mum
>>71796013
>>71795464
Can tell you didn't have many mates, mate.
The first film was cracking too, I've done Magaluf (pre-blowjobgate) and Malia with my own slightly awkward mates, it was so uncomfortably true. Except the girls.
>>71793175
It's praised for being accurate, you daft nigger.
It's not the sunshine and rainbows bollocks you like to peddle.
>>71796928
I didn't like your shitty britbong show, so I must've grown up a friendless loser? I had friends, had some similar experiences as to ones in the show. It doesn't make a re-enactment of pretty basic childhood events funny.
>>71794135
>Why do americans
>Why did you
Nigger, you do know that American audiences dont actually have a hand in what shows they import and what actors they hire, right?
>>71796534
>>71796831
bongistanis are notorious for not being able to hold their liquor
i regularly smash fuck out of them when they come to my country
>>71797244
You beat them up or make a point of getting them to participate against you in drinking contests which they lose? I'm not following you at all.
>>71793035
>>71794135
>Because they need to edit down 60 minute shows to fit 45 minute slots (another reason to buy the BBC DVDs). They cut up and rearrange footage as needed and then rerecord the dialogue to match. There are also references and measurements that wouldn't make sense to an American audience. Most of the shows can be purchased under the BBC name (originals) or Discovery/TLC/etc (broadcast US versions) in the US.
That's a shame for Americans, Sigourney Weaver has a great voice but David Attenborough has so much passion emanate from his voice that I feel they're missing out a bit. After hearing five minutes of Oprah I wanted someone to murder her.
>>71797266
I beat them up when they get mouthy after not being able to hold thier drink.
I'm American and even I can admit we have no tolerance to drink. Most of us get drunk after one bud light lol
>>71797321
That can't be true. Americans are notorious for not being able to fight. I took out 7 at once last time I went lol
>>71797355
I am not american but they are better fighters than bongs in general.
American here.
I can attest to the fact we can't drink, nor fight.
>>71797244
>bongistanis are notorious for not being able to hold their liquor
It probably has to do with disgust and the refusal to swallow Budweiser. That's not a real contest.
>>71797372
Haha no. I'm an Aussie and ameribetas are weak fuckers
>>71797435
Yes, but not as weak as bongs.
>>71793486
iktf
>>71797458
> yfw the average pissed up english could batter a "trained" american "fighter"
what's the female equivalent of inbetweeners?
something that isnt necessarily mean girls, but more of ugly, autistic girls
>>71797458
They're the weakest. I think I could beat up 10 at once
>>71793069
Thanks Phil.
Lads, can't put our differences aside and agree Australian humour is the fucking worst
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2D1Lar41O8s

No, we're notorious for getting absolutely mangled and acting like cunts.

I will beat the fuck out of any amerifat that wants a go.
>>71797533
One of the writers actually did a show with a group of girls for E4 or something
>>71797585
>not liking Kath and Kim
top pleb
>>71797533
Theres another english show about girls but I cant remember what its called. Theres a black girl and two white girls and its basically femalebetweeners
>>71797533
Drifters.
