Do you and your ‘fwends’ agree?
Much like Father Ted, Extras and the UK Office, one of the main reasons why The Inbetweeners is still so beloved was because Iain Morris and Damon Beesley knew exactly when to stop the show at the right moment. Think about it. These shows rarely had a bad episode and their legacy remains intact because the overall quality will never be diminished.
On that note, it’s practically impossible to choose the best episode of The Inbetweeners because you’re guaranteed to laugh at every single one.
10 years ago this week, Neil, Simon, Jay and Will were introduced to the world and we’ve all been laughing ever since. Hell, terms like ‘bumder’, ‘bus wanker’ and ‘fwend’ are still regularly used on a daily basis.
With the news that All4 will be streaming every single episode and the two films, fans of The Inbetweeners will be happier than Jay during an orgy at the caravan club.
Hell, it’s even an impossible task picking Jay’s best lies – after all, he did take a pedalo to Africa, have trials with West Ham and as for Championship Manager? Completed it mate.
