IMDB:
- “Inbetweeners wins because it's often very funny in a way that you find yourself laughing out loud”
- “It relates strongly to what my mates and I got up to in our school years.”
- “The Inbetweeners is a breath of fresh air to comedy programs”
- “The "average" group of friends find themselves in all sorts of awkward, embarrassing and often hilarious moments which all of us would have probably encountered sometime or another in our teen years”
- “The Inbetweeners is an original comedy t.v show that is full of one liners that you laugh out loud”
- “A relentless onslaught of foul language, crude sexual referencing, cynical cruelty and outrageous indecency, The Inbetweeners is a thoroughly depressing, but well written and very funny, reflection of young people today”
- “The foursome of mates go through tough times, and good times with each other throughout the series, but mostly tough times."
- “Each episode you watch you keep thinking what kind of gross thing is Jay going to do next, or whose going to be the next girl Simon has an awkward conversation with. The show does great for what it aims and shoots for, a funny, raunchy, and original comedy.”
- Comment on the character if Will: “It's actually quite a high concept idea of a posh looking/speaking young man and placing him with ordinary looking teenagers of today, and even more subversive to make everything so gratuitous. But clever writing makes this show as much as anything else, coming mainly from Bird's continuous voice overs each episode, where he runs over the pratfalls of everything the group have found themselves in with a great condescending tone”
- “The Inbetweeners for me is a quality, witty, and funny situation comedy, that tackles teenager's issues such as relationships, friendships, sexuality, alcohol and drug abuse) in a very comic way.”
- “It's well scripted, and the choice of actors is good as well. The misfortunes that keep happening to the main four characters (Will, Jay, Simon and Neil) entertain us- the audience, and keep us laughing pretty much throughout the whole programme”
- “The language in this series is extremely graphic and crude, also some of the situations are gross and disgusting. Life is really like that though. A lot of people probably won't like having their face rubbed in it by something that's supposed to be entertainment.”
- “The humour is extremely forced and unoriginal, and expects us to laugh at characters verbally abusing another, or doing gross things, which gets very repetitive and boring quite quickly.”
Empire magazine: “The
Inbetweeners has always been about its central friendship and amidst the vomit
and the virginity losing, the film delivers a realistic believable portrait of
young blokes - look out for a touching discussion as the penny drops that
university might spell the end of the friendship”
Year of the wolf: “The boys occupy that
twilight zone between adolescence and maturity, trapped frustratingly between
two freedoms: the innocence of childhood and the financial independence of
adulthood. Thrown in with that general angst is the awkwardness of
unreciprocated crushes and embarrassing drunken misdemeanours which almost
everyone can relate to.”
"The Inbetweeners’ is successful not only because it works
brilliantly as a sitcom, but because people truly connect with it. For that
reason alone, it fully deserves its success.”
Media edu:
“Situation Comedies are a sub genre of
TV Comedy because their primary intention is to entertain the audience the
through humour but by utilising a set of recognisable codes and conventions that
are explored and explained below.”
“US
Sitcoms also tend to be written by larger teams and arguably are less
challenging, more ‘folksy’ and homespun reflecting offering more domestic
situations as opposed to more ‘edgy’ environments offered by British Sitcoms”
Wikipedia:
“Joe McNally, writing for The Independent, commends an "exquisitely accurate dialogue,
capturing the feel of adolescence perfectly”
“Will Dean of The Guardian comments
that the show "captures the pathetic sixth-form male experience quite
splendidly".
